"Gu Gu Sheng, my father is Luoyun City Lord, if you kill me."
"Noisy."
Gu Sheng took a strong breath and swung his sword.
Young Master Qin had a line of blood on his throat, his eyes widened and he fell to the ground dead.
Ling Xiao took a breath of cold air.
"Brother Gu, this."
"Search for his Void Ring and leave quickly."
Gu Sheng's voice is weak.
"City Lord's Mansion will get the news soon."
Mu Feng endured the shoulder injury and quickly took off a simple ring from Young Master Qin's finger and handed it to Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng put it in his arms without looking at it and whispered.
"Let's go!"
The four of them quickly left the battlefield and galloped towards the distant mountains and forests. On the way, Gu Sheng could no longer hold on and spurted out a mouthful of blood.
"Brother Gu!"
Mu Xi exclaimed.
"It doesn't matter."
Gu Sheng said reluctantly.
"Find a hiding place. I need to adjust my breathing."
At the same time, Tie San clutched his chest wound and stumbled away on the mountain road leading to Luoyun City. Every time he took a step, he felt heartbreaking pain from the sword wound on his right chest.
"Damn it. Gu Sheng's sword energy is so difficult to deal with."
Tie San gritted his teeth, took out a pill from his arms and swallowed it, but it had little effect.
The special spiritual power contained in the sword energy was constantly eroding his meridians.
The sky was getting dark, and Tie San's vision began to blur.
He held on and walked another half mile, but finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell headlong into the grass on the side of the road.
"Help."
Tie San shouted weakly, his consciousness gradually blurring.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a sound of footsteps approaching from far away.
"Huh? Someone is injured here!"
An old voice sounded.
Tie San reluctantly opened his eyes and saw an old man in gray robe leaning over to check his injuries. Behind the old man stood several people dressed as guards.
"This wound"
The old man inspected the sword wound on Tie San's chest, and his expression suddenly changed.
"What a pure sword energy! At least it was left by the Tai Chu Realm master!"
A guard recognized Tie San.
"Elder Wang, isn't this City Lord's Mansion's guest, Mr. Tie San?"
"Quick! Carry City Lord's Mansion back!"
Elder Wang said urgently.
"This injury requires a fifth-grade elixir to treat!"
When Tie San woke up again, he found himself lying in a luxurious room. Standing beside the bed were Luoyun City Lord Qin Wuya with a gloomy look, and Elder Wang with a solemn look on his face.
"City Lord"
Tie San struggled to get up.
Qin Wuya pressed his hand on his shoulder, and his spiritual energy poured in to detect the injury, his face became increasingly ugly.
"What a domineering sword spirit! Tie San, where is my son Young Master Qin?"
Tie San trembled, fear flashing in his eyes.
"Young master, he."
"Say!"
Qin Wuya shouted angrily, Tai Chu Realm's later pressure made the objects in the room tremble.
Tie San didn't dare to hide anything and told the whole story, but only concealed the part where he took the initiative for the bounty.
"That Gu Sheng's strength is weird. He is obviously just Heavenly Palace Realm, but he can use the sword energy as powerful as Tai Chu Realm. Young Master, he may have already"
"Maybe?"
Qin Wuya's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you die! Elder Wang, prepare a car!"
"City Lord, what do you mean?"
"Go to the fighting site!"
Qin Wuya lifted up Tie San.
"Lead the way! If there is anything wrong with my son, I will make Gu Sheng's life worse than death!"
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and Luoyun City Lord's figure appeared on the hillside. Tie San stood behind, his face pale.
"Is this right here?"
Luoyun City Lord's voice was as cold as ice, and his eyes scanned the messy battle traces on the ground.
Tie San nodded tremblingly.
"Back to the city lord, this is where it is. The young city lord is fighting with that Gu Sheng"
Luoyun City Lord suddenly raised his hand, a wave of spiritual power spread from his palm, and the remaining sword energy and spiritual power in the air appeared.
His pupils suddenly shrank - the sword energy clearly contained the aura of the Qin Family's unique "Luoyun Sword Technique".
"My son!"
Luoyun City Lord roared angrily, and shot towards the other side of the hillside like lightning.
Tie San staggered to follow, only to see Luoyun City Lord kneeling in front of a corpse, trembling all over.
The corpse's chest was pierced and its face was distorted. It was Young Master Qin.
"Who did it?"
Luoyun City Lord's voice is horribly deep.
Tie San Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"City Lord Mingjian, it's Gu Sheng"
"Fart!"
Luoyun City Lord turned around suddenly and slapped Tie San Tianling Gai with his palm.
"In addition to the sword wounds on my son's body, there are also traces of your Tie family's 'Heart Shattering Palm'!"
Tie San's eyes widened, and before he could defend himself, his whole head exploded.
Luoyun City Lord picked up his son's body without even looking at the fallen body, his eyes bloodshot.
"Gu Sheng. Ling Xiao I want you to pay with blood!"
He looked up to the sky and roared loudly, the sound shaking the whole country.
"Immortal Descent Realm is your burial place!"
Before he finished speaking, Luoyun City Lord's figure turned into a black light and headed straight to the east. Trees exploded along the way, and no one dared to block its edge.
At the same time, in the dense forest a hundred miles away, Gu Sheng was sitting cross-legged, with spiritual energy flowing around his body.
He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath.
"How's your recovery going?"
Ling Xiao was leaning against an ancient tree, playing with a jade slip in his hand.
Gu Sheng moved his wrist.
"About 70%. That Young Master Qin's deadly counterattack is really powerful."
Ling Xiao sneered.
"He is even more powerful. Luoyun City Lord is already half a step into the Nascent Soul. In our current state, our chances of winning against him are less than 30%."
Gu Sheng stood up and patted the dust on his robe.
"Based on time, he should have discovered his son's body."
"So we have to hurry up."
Ling Xiao put away the jade slip.
"The entrance to the Immortal Descent Realm will be opened in three days. With Luoyun City Lord's temperament, he will definitely set up an ambush there."
Gu Sheng pondered for a moment.
"Fighting hard is not the answer. I have an idea - change your appearance, hide your aura, and blend in with the Immortal Descent Realm."
Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow.
"Disguise Technique? Luoyun City Lord's spiritual consciousness is so powerful that ordinary Disguise Technique cannot hide it from him."
"This is no ordinary disguise."
Gu Sheng took out a green pill from his arms.
"This is 'Thousand Faces Pill'. After taking it, it can change the bone structure, breath, and even the fluctuation of cultivation level can be disguised."
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with surprise.
"Where did you get such good stuff?"
"The harvest from the last exploration of the ancient monk's cave."
Gu Sheng split the elixir into two.
"But before that, we have to solve another problem."
He turned and walked deep into the woods, where Mu Feng and Mu Xi were resting under a big tree.
Mu Xi looked pale and held Jade Box tightly in his arms.
"Brother Gu."
Mu Feng stood up quickly.
"Are you guys okay?"
Gu Sheng shook his head and his eyes fell on Mu Xi.
"Has the spiritual root been brought out?"
Mu Xi nodded timidly and opened Jade Box. A green ginseng-shaped spiritual grass lay quietly among it, emitting a faint fluorescence - it was Heavenly Longevity Spirit Root.
Ling Xiao took a closer look and frowned slightly.
"The fifth-grade spiritual grass has violent energy. This girl has a special constitution. If she takes it directly, she may explode and die."
Mu Feng's face changed drastically when he heard this.
"What should we do?"
Gu Sheng thought for a moment.
"I can try to refine some of the energy and then guide it into the body."
He looked at Mu Xi.
"The process will be painful. Are you sure you want to try it?"
Mu Xi bit his lip and nodded heavily.
"I'm not afraid of pain. As long as my disease can be cured, I'm willing to suffer any pain."
"Okay."
Gu Sheng sat cross-legged opposite her.
"Start now. Mu Feng, stay back and don't interfere."
Mu Feng nervously stepped back three steps away, clenching his hands into fists.
Gu Sheng formed seals with his hands, and a spiritual barrier enveloped him and Mu Xi.
He carefully took out Heavenly Longevity Spirit Root from Jade Box, and a ray of golden flame condensed on his fingertips.
"Is this Dan Fire?"
Ling Xiao surprised.
"You can also make elixirs?"
"Know a thing or two."
Gu Sheng concentrated on controlling the fire, and the spiritual roots slowly melted in the flames, separating a drop of emerald green liquid.
Mu Xi looked at the drop of liquid and swallowed unconsciously.
She could feel the huge energy contained in it, and she was both yearning for it and afraid of it.
"Open your mouth."
Gu Sheng ordered.
Mu Xi opened her mouth obediently, and the drop of liquid flew into her mouth. In an instant, her entire face turned red and her body began to tremble violently.
"Ah——"
Just as she was about to let out a scream, Gu Sheng pressed a palm on the top of her head, and spiritual power poured into her body.
"Hold it! Guide the energy to run along the meridians!"
Gu Sheng drank lowly, beads of sweat oozing out from his forehead.
Mu Xi curled up in pain, feeling as if there were thousands of needles pricking in his body.
She bit her lip tightly, blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, but she managed not to scream again.
Mu Feng watched on the side with heartache. He tried to step forward several times, but was stopped by Ling Xiao.
"If you interrupt now, she will definitely die."
Ling Xiao said coldly.
"Believe Gu Sheng."
Mu Xi sat cross-legged, his slender body couldn't help but tremble, and big beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
She gritted her teeth, blood oozed from her lips, but she still stubbornly refused to let out a cry of pain.
"Hang on!"
Gu Sheng shouted in a deep voice, forming seals with his hands, and strands of spiritual power wrapped around Mu Xi like silk threads, helping her guide the violent energy in her body.
Mu Feng stood aside, his fists clenched until they turned white, and his nails dug into his palms.
"Sister."
His voice was trembling, and his eyes were full of distress and remorse.
Ling Xiao held his shoulders and whispered.
"Isn't it easy to get the energy of the fifth-grade spiritual grass? Even if monks like us Core Formation Realm swallow it directly, there is still the danger of exploding and dying. It is a miracle that Mu Xi can withstand it with the cultivation level of Bone Tempering Realm."
Mu Feng turned even paler after hearing this.
"I actually wanted my sister to take it directly, and I almost harmed her."
"Now is not the time to blame yourself."
Gu Sheng didn't look back, concentrating on controlling the flow of spiritual power.
"Mu Xi is extremely talented, but is suppressed by a strange disease. If he can survive this, his future is limitless."
In Mu Xi's body, the energy of Heavenly Longevity Spirit Root was rushing through her meridians.
Every impact caused her eyes to blacken with pain. But whenever she was almost unable to hold on any longer, she could always feel a gentle yet powerful force guiding those violent energies to prevent them from getting out of control.
"Brother Gu"
She chanted silently in her heart, endured the severe pain, and cooperated with the external spiritual power to introduce the energy of the spiritual grass into her dantian bit by bit.
Three hours passed, and Mu Xi's complexion finally turned from pale to rosy.
A faint green light glowed all over her body, and her aura was rising steadily, reaching the peak of the Bone Tempering Realm in one fell swoop, approaching Core Formation Realm!
"We're about to break through!"
Ling Xiao exclaimed.
Gu Sheng suddenly transformed into a palm, and slapped Mu Xi on the back.
"Now!"
"Boom——"
Mu Xi There was a muffled sound in the body, and the spiritual power of the whole body finally condensed into a blue pill in the Dantian.
She opened her eyes suddenly, green light flowed in her eyes, and her aura was several times stronger than before!
"Core Formation Realm!"
Mu Feng cried with joy.
"Sister, you succeeded!"
Mu Xi stared at his hands blankly, feeling the surging spiritual power in his body, and suddenly threw himself into his brother's arms.
"Brother, my heart doesn't hurt anymore! It really doesn't hurt anymore!"
Gu Sheng finished his exercises and adjusted his breath, with a smile on his lips.
He keenly noticed that the dark black gas in Mu Xi's heart that had troubled her for many years had completely dissipated.
Mu Feng pulled her sister to her knees.
"Brother Gu is a great kindness, and my brother and sister will never forget it! From now on, as long as there is an assignment, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Gu Sheng quickly helped the two of them up.
"It doesn't have to be like this with a little effort."
"It's a small effort for Brother Gu, but it's a blessing to my brothers and sisters."
Mu Feng said solemnly.
"I, Mu Feng, hereby swear that I will repay this kindness in this life!"
Ling Xiao laughed from the side.
"Okay, okay, if you continue to thank me, Gu Sheng will be embarrassed."
Gu Sheng shook his head and took out a bloody ring from his arms.
"This is Void Ring found from Young Master Qin. The contents inside should be considered as reward."
Mu Feng was stunned.
"How is this possible? Heavenly Longevity Spirit Root should belong to Brother Gu."
"I only want a few of these things."
Gu Sheng interrupted him, took out a yellowed map and a black token from the ring, and pushed all the other items in front of Mu Feng.
"You take these."
Mu Feng still wanted to refuse, but Ling Xiao had already put something into his hand.
"Don't worry, mother-in-law, we still have to hurry."
Mu Feng's eyes were hot and he accepted it solemnly.
"In that case, Mu Feng is ashamed to receive it."
Gu Sheng looked at the map and asked suddenly.
"What are your plans next? Are you still going to the Immortal Descent Realm?"
Mu Feng looked dark.
"I'm afraid we can't go."
"Because Luoyun City Lord?"
Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow.
Mu Feng nodded.
"Although Young Master Qin is dead, his father will never give up. Immortal Descent Realm is surrounded by dangers. If he meets City Lord's Mansion again."
"Brother, I'm not afraid!"
Mu Xi suddenly spoke.
"My illness has healed and my cultivation has improved. I can protect myself!"
Mu Feng rubbed his sister's hair and smiled bitterly.
"Silly girl, City Lord's Mansion is so powerful that we can't compete with it."
Gu Sheng pondered for a moment and took out a silver cloak from Void Ring.
"This Shadow Concealment Cloak can mask your aura. If you insist on going, you can borrow it temporarily."
Mu Feng struggled a little and finally shook his head.
"Thank you Brother Gu for your kindness, but my sister has just recovered and I don't want to take any more risks."
"Wise choice."
Ling Xiao nodded approvingly.
"You have a future only if you are alive."
Gu Sheng was not reluctant, and took out a few bottles of elixirs and two spiritual weapons from the ring, and distributed them to Mu Feng brother and sister.
"Wear these for self-defense."
Mu Feng did not refuse this time and bowed deeply.
"I don't say thank you for the great kindness, and I will repay it one day!"
"Take care."
Gu Sheng cupped his fists.
"Brother Gu, Brother Ling, goodbye!"
Mu Xi waved with red eyes.
Watching the brother and sister leave, Ling Xiao suddenly smiled.
