"No-"
The first person to bear the brunt was an elder Xuanxu Sect. He just had time to let out a desperate roar when three air swords penetrated his chest.
Blazing white flames erupted from his body, burning this Earth Martial Realm third-level powerhouse into a ball of ashes in the blink of an eye, and not even his soul could escape.
Shen Qingshi's expression changed drastically, and he waved the sword in his hand wildly, trying to resist. "
Gu Sheng! How dare you-"
Three qi swords came in the shape of a pin. The first one shattered his body-protecting Gang Qi, the second one penetrated his long sword, and the third one directly penetrated the center of his eyebrows.
Shen Qingshi's body froze in the air for a moment, and then like a ignited paper man, white flames ignited from the inside out, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After three breaths, the sword energy in the sky dissipated. Except for the slightly pale Gu Sheng himself, there were no traces of the eight Earth Martial Realm experts on the stage. Even the weapons and magic weapons they carried were burned to death.
The entire martial arts arena was silent.
"This is impossible"
Xuanxu Sect Master stood up suddenly, his face was ashen, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
"Black Tortoise Realm instantly killed eight Earth Martial Realm? This has never been done before in the entire martial arts world!"
On the high platform, although Long Yundao and Ye Jianjia looked relatively calm, they could not hide the shock in their eyes.
Long Yundao's eyes flickered, and a turmoil arose in his heart.
"The one who made the move from the beginning was the clone? Then his true form has been watching the battle? That sword formation at the end. Even with my first-level cultivation of the Heavenly Martial Realm, I would definitely be injured if we faced it head-on!"
On the ring, Gu Sheng slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, dispersing the remaining sword energy around his body.
He glanced indifferently at the audience and spoke again.
"Next one."
These three words made everyone at the Xuanxu Sect take a step back.
In less than an hour, they had witnessed too many of their fellow disciples die at the hands of Gu Sheng. From the initial anger to the current fear, their psychological defenses completely collapsed.
Gu Sheng's eyes finally fell on the master of the Xuanxu Sect. Their eyes met in the air, as if sparks were flying.
"Little beast!"
Xuanxu Sect Master's eyes were about to burst, and the aura around his body began to rise crazily.
"I will take your life today!"
Just when he was about to take action forcefully, a white figure appeared next to Gu Sheng.
The person who came was dressed in white clothes, with a peerless appearance, and was surrounded by a suffocating and powerful aura.
"Heavenly Martial Realm Peak?!"
Xuanxu Sect Master suddenly stopped and his face became extremely ugly.
Miss Tantai stood with his hands behind his hands, the corners of his lips slightly raised.
"Today I protect Gu Sheng, whoever comes will die."
Her voice was soft, yet filled with unquestionable majesty.
Almost at the same time, Long Yundao also flew to the ring and stood on the other side of Gu Sheng to express his position.
"Long Yundao! Do you also want to be my enemy, Xuanxu Sect?"
Xuanxu Sect Master shouted sharply.
Long Yundao smiled lightly.
"Gu Sheng is a disciple of my sect. If the sect leader wants to bully the weak, how can Mr. Long just sit idly by and ignore it?"
The three parties confront each other and the atmosphere becomes tense.
Xuanxu Sect Master's expression was uncertain, and finally he snorted coldly.
"Okay! Very good! Today there are two Heavenly Martial Realm protecting this little beast. I admit defeat. But this matter will not end here! Gu Sheng, you killed so many of my Xuanxu Sect elders and disciples. This is an irreconcilable hatred!"
After that, he waved his sleeves, turned around and left with the remaining disciples, his back looking particularly embarrassed.
After the Xuanxu Sect everyone walked away, Miss Tantai turned around and looked at Gu Sheng.
"How about it, did I arrive in time? That old guy really wanted to attack you regardless of his identity just now."
Gu Sheng still looked cold.
"Thank you."
"That's it?"
Miss Tantai curled his lips.
"I came all the way to save you, and I didn't even have a nice word to say?"
Long Yundao interjected at the right time.
"Thank you, Senior Tantai, for your help."
Miss Tantai waved his hand.
"Master Long, you don't have to be polite. I'm not here for you."
She stared at Gu Sheng with burning eyes.
"I have something important to tell you."
Gu Sheng frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and then said.
"Go to my place."
Miss Tantai then nodded with satisfaction, and then turned his eyes to Ye Jianjia who had been standing on the high platform.
"Ye Family girl, your family has been protected by the Linlang Pavilion under the instruction of Gu Sheng. Remember this favor."
After saying that, she turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the sky without waiting for Ye Jianjia to respond.
Gu Sheng had surprise in his eyes, obviously not expecting Miss Tantai to suddenly mention this matter.
And Ye Jianjia had already flown to the ring, standing in front of Gu Sheng with red eyes.
"Senior Brother Gu Gu."
Her voice was choked.
"Ye Family's over 300 lives are all due to senior brother's intervention. This kindness and kindness will never be forgotten by Jianjia."
Gu Sheng looked slightly complicated, but finally said calmly.
"Easy to do."
Gu Sheng stood with his hands behind his hands, watching Ye Jianjia's departing back disappearing around the corner of the corridor, and then turned to face Long Yundao.
"Senior Brother Long, take a step to speak."
Gu Sheng's voice was low, and his eyebrows showed a rare solemnity.
Long Yundao's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand to create a soundproof barrier.
"Junior Brother Gu, what happened in the secret realm?"
Gu Sheng is straight to the point.
"I got into a lot of trouble during this trip to the secret realm. I can't go into details, but I'm afraid it will implicate Imperial Sect."
Long Yundao frowned slightly, but did not ask immediately. As the senior brother of the Imperial Sect, he has already noticed from various clues that Gu Sheng has an extraordinary identity.
"I've got Myriad Dao Returning to One Art, it's time to leave."
Gu Sheng spoke calmly.
"But don't worry, senior brother, the cooperation between Tianlang City and Linlang Pavilion will not be affected. I will also leave some secret techniques as compensation."
Long Yundao was silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled.
"I knew this day would come. I just didn't expect it to come so soon."
He raised his head and looked directly at Gu Sheng.
"When will you leave?"
"Within three to five days."
Gu Sheng looked at the rolling mountains in the distance.
"I will not leave Great Desolation City in the near future, but I will no longer be active as a disciple of the Imperial Sect.
These days, Imperial Sect has become like my home. "
Long Yundao patted Gu Sheng on the shoulder with great force.
"Imperial Sect will always regard you as one of our own. If necessary, just one word."
"Thank you."
Gu Sheng The corner of his mouth raised slightly.
"When I leave, I will inform a few familiar brothers, but there is no need to mobilize troops. I will come back as a guest in the future."
Long Yundao removed the barrier, the two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
Gu Sheng said goodbye, his clothes were flying as he turned to leave, his back was straight and straight.
Returning to his small courtyard, Gu Sheng just opened the courtyard door and smelled a cool fragrance.
In the pavilion, a graceful figure leaned lazily on the bench, it was Miss Tantai.
Today, she was uncharacteristically wearing a tight-fitting outfit, and the black fabric outlined her thrilling curves.
A pair of slender jade legs overlapped, glowing in the sunset. Seeing Gu Sheng come in, she tilted her head slightly and opened her red lips slightly.
"Mr. Gu, please let me wait."
Gu Sheng suppressed the fluctuation in his heart and strode into the pavilion.
"Is there something wrong with Miss Tantai?"
Miss Tantai sat up straight, his expression suddenly became serious.
"It's about my sister.
Her condition has worsened and she can't wait for you to become Rank 6 Alchemist. "
Gu Sheng frowned.
" Miss Bing Tang's cold poison is acting up again?"
Miss Tantai nodded, with anxiety in his eyes.
"Originally, we planned to wait for your cultivation level to improve before refining Mystic Violet Golden Pill, but now we have to advance it. I have a secret method that can temporarily lend you Rank 8 spiritual power to help you refine the elixir."
Gu Sheng was silent after hearing this.
He knew that this secret method of mental power transfer would cause great damage to the caster, which could cause him to be weak for several months, or even damage his foundation.
Seeing Gu Sheng speechless, Miss Tantai bit his lip.
"I know this is too much to ask for, but sister can't wait any longer. As long as you agree, Linlang Pavilion will be rewarded generously."
"It's not about pay."
Gu Sheng shook his head.
"This secret method will do you a lot of harm. If the situation was not critical, you would not speak like this."
Miss Tantai had surprise in his eyes.
"Don't you ask about the benefits first?"
Gu Sheng chuckled.
"Although I, Gu Sheng, am not a gentleman, I will not take advantage of others' danger. Besides."
He paused.
"Maintaining the relationship with the Linlang Pavilion is a long-term solution for me."
Miss Tantai was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
"Mr. Gu is indeed different. I promise that as long as you refine Nine Revolutions Mystic Violet Golden Pill, my two sisters will never treat you badly."
"How about tomorrow afternoon? I need to make some preparations."
Gu Sheng asked.
"Okay!"
Miss Tantai stood up, the waistline outlined by the smart outfit was shocking.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow."
She took two steps and then looked back.
"By the way, I heard that you are leaving Imperial Sect?"
Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow.
"The information is quite good."
"There is nothing in Great Desolation City that Linlang Pavilion doesn't know about."
Miss Tantai gave him a meaningful look.
"But don't worry, we won't ask any more questions about your secret."
After Miss Tantai left, Gu Sheng stood quietly in the courtyard for a moment, then walked into the quiet room and sat cross-legged.
In the past three months, his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. From entering the seventh level to now peak Rank 7, the speed was so fast that even he was a little surprised.
""Myriad Dao Returning to One Art" is indeed mysterious."
Gu Sheng looked inside his Dantian, looking at the slowly rotating chaotic cyclone, and sighed in his heart. But progressing too fast also brings hidden dangers. There are occasional stagnations in the movement of spiritual power, which is a sign of an unstable foundation.
"It's time to go out and practice."
Gu Sheng said to himself. Now that his identity has been exposed, continuing to stay at the Imperial Sect will only bring disaster to the sect.
He planned to leave Great Desolation City for a while after helping the Tantai sisters refine the elixir.
Gu Sheng sat cross-legged in the middle of the quiet room, holding a piece of High-grade Spirit Stone in each hand. As Nine Dragon Qiankun Art was running, the spirit stone dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After three breaths, the spirit stone shattered with a "click" and turned into powder, falling from between the fingers.
"It's still too slow."
Gu Sheng opened his eyes, with golden light in his eyes.
"In my previous life, I pursued speed too much, which led to an unstable foundation, and eventually I stopped at the peak of the Immortal Emperor."
He stroked the storage ring gently and took out two more spiritual stones.
This time, I did not rush to absorb it, but used my mental power to carefully sense the flow of spiritual energy in it, ensuring that every bit of spiritual energy was perfectly refined.
Suddenly, there was an almost inaudible sound outside the hospital.
Gu Sheng frowned slightly.
In his perception, there was no one outside the courtyard gate, except for a note pressed by bluestone on the stone table.
He appeared silently in the courtyard, with his fingertips flicking, the note flew into his palm.
The four beautiful characters "Senior Brother Qin" came into view.
"Ye Jianjia?"
The note was unfolded, Ink Fragrance was still there.
"Senior Brother Qin:
During the trip to the secret realm, Jianjia felt deeply that her strength was low and she had repeatedly dragged her senior brother down. Senior brother was as kind as a mountain to the Ye Family, and Jian Jia had no way to repay him, so he could only go down the mountain to practice. When one day I can help my senior brother, I will definitely come back.
——Jian Jia Liu"
Gu Sheng A wisp of elixir fire rose in the palm of his hand, and the note turned into ashes in an instant.
"He is a sensible person."
He watched the ashes drift away and whispered to himself.
"Imperial Sect is indeed not suitable for her. However, it is rare to have the kind of heart to repay kindness."
He originally wanted to ask Ye Jianjia about the secret method left by Ling Qingyan, but then he thought about it and realized that he had already mastered Qi Manifestation's method, and the rest was just the icing on the cake.
"That's all, everyone has their own ambitions."
When the morning light faded, Gu Sheng pushed open the quiet room door and met Long Yundao who was coming in a hurry.
"Gu boy!"
Old Sect Master held a letter in his hand and frowned.
"Have you seen that girl Jianjia?"
Gu Sheng glanced at the letter and said clearly.
"Did she leave you a message too?"
Long Yundao slapped his forehead.
"I'm confused! Since that girl left me a farewell letter, she must have left it for you too."
He hesitated to speak, and finally let out a long sigh.
"This girl has been trained as a successor since she was a child. I watched her grow up."
Gu Sheng understood the old man's loss and said calmly.
"Leaving her wings may not be a bad thing for her. With her temperament, as long as she doesn't die, she will eventually come back to inherit Imperial Sect."
Long Yundao was startled and said with a wry smile.
"You're right. It's just..."
He shook his head and turned around.
"By the way, a disciple of the Great Desolation Sacred Academy has come to the sect hall and wants to see you by name."
"Great Desolation Sacred Academy?"
Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows.
"Who?"
"Calling himself Shen Qingtian."
Long Yundao Lower your voice.
"This woman is a bit weird."
Gu Sheng's heart moved slightly.
"I'll go take a look."
Imperial Sect In the main hall, a slender figure stood with his back to the hall door.
The girl was dressed in a black outfit, the material clinging to her body and outlining her thrilling curves.
The exposed waist is slender and strong, and the legs are slender and straight, a bit slimmer than Miss Tantai.
The most eye-catching thing was the ferocious iron face on her face, revealing only a pair of dark eyes.
"Are you Gu Sheng?"
Hearing the footsteps, the girl asked without looking back, her voice was cold.
Gu Sheng walked slowly and stood three steps away from her.
"Great Desolation Sacred Academy Shen Qingtian?"
"Ms. Shen is here. What's the point of your visit?"
Shen Qingtian Straight to the point.
"I want to kill Shen Qingyun."
Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows and chuckled.
"Miss Shen is joking. You and Brother Ling are both Heavenly Martial Realm masters. I am only Black Tortoise Seventh Layer, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help."
"Why should Mr. Gu be humble?"
Shen Qingtian took a step forward, her slender but explosive figure outlined in a black outfit.
"You can defeat Shen Qingyun in the same realm. Your talent and strength have proven everything. Not to mention"
She paused.
"Your relationship with the Linlang Pavilion is also one of the reasons why I came to find you."
"It seems that Miss Shen has done a very thorough investigation."
Gu Sheng said.
"Ten days later.
"Shen Qingtian didn't answer his words and just said to himself.
"Shen Qingyun will leave Great Desolation City and go to southern Xinjiang. This is the best time to kill him."
Gu Sheng put away his smile and his eyes became sharp.
