"Speaking of which, Quanzi is already sixteen this year, and his cultivation level can reach Spirit Martial Realm seventh level."
Gu Sheng immediately understood what he meant.
"Town Guard Chen wants your son to enter Imperial Sect for training?"
"Exactly!"
Chen Zhongting quickly handed it over.
"If I can be recommended by Mr. Gu."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to show up after tomorrow."
Gu Sheng interrupted him with a low voice.
"I will publicly disassociate myself from the Imperial Sect."
Chen Zhongting's face changed slightly, and then his smile returned.
"It doesn't matter. Young people should leave the wings to experience. Even if Mr. Gu is not in the Imperial Sect, it is his Fortune that can enter."
Gu Sheng turned his eyes to Xiao Yun who had been standing quietly aside.
"Shopkeeper Xiao, if there is any need for cooperation from the garrison in the future, I hope that we will take appropriate care of it."
Xiao Yun saluted respectfully.
"Don't worry, Mr. Gu, Xiao understands."
"Right."
Gu Sheng suddenly remembered something and looked at Chen Zhongting.
"Great Desolation City Three Town Guard Commissioner died, and positions are vacant in the three cities"
Chen Zhongting surprised.
"What does Mr. Gu mean?"
"At least one position must be for our people."
Gu Sheng's tone was calm, but with an unquestionable sense of command.
Chen Zhongting immediately handed over his hand and kept his voice extremely low.
"You will definitely live up to your trust!"
Gu Sheng nodded, turned and left.
In the early morning of the next day, Gu Sheng woke up from trance, and his spiritual power slowly converged.
He opened his eyes, and there seemed to be stars flowing in his eyes.
"Someone is coming."
He called softly.
After a while, a guard stood respectfully outside the door.
"What are your orders, Master?"
"Ask Bai Lingtong to come over."
Not long after, Bai Lingtong hurried into the yard.
"Sir, I have some clues about what you asked me to investigate."
Bai Lingtong Lower your voice.
"Shen Qingyun did gain a lot in the secret realm, but in order to regenerate his severed limbs, he almost spent all his gains."
Gu Sheng tapped his finger on the table.
"Tell the important point."
"Yes yes yes."
Bai Lingtong nodded quickly.
"He is traveling this time for Ten Thousand Year Black Jade Spirit Pool outside Xuancheng. It is said that the spiritual pool is about to mature, and he wants to grab the spiritual liquid to break through the realm."
Gu Sheng had a cold look in his eyes.
"Source?"
"Bought it with a lot of money from Shen Qingyun's former henchman."
Bai Lingtong rubbed his hands.
"That person was expelled from the Shen Family due to poor performance. He holds a grudge and should not make any lies. However, the authenticity needs further verification."
"Well done."
Gu Sheng gave a rare compliment.
Bai Lingtong immediately had a smile on his face.
"It is a small man's honor to serve the young master."
"How about the Great Desolation Alliance and Sun Moon Sect?"
Gu Sheng The topic changed.
Bai Lingtong looked serious.
"Sun Moon Sect has not been infiltrated yet, but Great Desolation Alliance already has our people. Although his status is not high, if Great Desolation Alliance makes any moves, he will be informed immediately."
Gu Sheng frowned slightly.
"Speed up Sun Moon Sect's actions and put our people in as soon as possible."
"Son."
Bai Lingtong hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask.
"Are you going to deal with the Sun Moon Sect?"
Gu Sheng glanced at him coldly.
"I am just Black Tortoise Realm now, Sun Moon Sect is a first-class sect, and there are strong men in the sect. Taking action without absolute certainty is tantamount to seeking death."
Bai Lingtong breathed a sigh of relief, but then heard Gu Sheng continue.
"But it's always good to plan ahead."
These words made Bai Lingtong's eyes change slightly. He suddenly realized that the ambitions of the young master in front of him were probably far more than what he saw in front of him.
"You just do as I say."
Gu Sheng's voice brought him back to reality.
"Keep an eye on the Great Desolation Alliance and Sun Moon Sect. If there is any abnormality, report it as soon as possible."
Bai Lingtong responded quickly and was about to leave when he heard Gu Sheng say again.
"Starting from tomorrow, as the representative of the Linlang Pavilion, you will contact Chen Zhongting."
"Me?"
Bai Lingtong's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
He was just an information dealer. How had he ever thought that one day he could represent a force like Linlang Pavilion?
Gu Sheng looked at his shocked expression and said calmly.
"What, you don't want to?"
"No no no!"
Bai Lingtong was so excited that his voice changed its tone.
"Young man, no, I will definitely fulfill my mission! I will never forget the kindness of the young master!"
The expression in his eyes changed from shock to complexity, and finally he agreed.
Being able to work under a powerful man like Gu Sheng is the greatest opportunity in his life.
Gu Sheng's expression remained calm, and he was about to give further instructions when suddenly a green jade talisman around his waist flickered.
That was Communication Jade Talisman given to him by Gu Ningshuang.
Gu Sheng's complexion changed slightly and he quickly took out the jade talisman. There are only a few short words on the jade talisman.
"Imperial Sect has changed, come back soon."
"Senior Sister Gu, something happened?"
Gu Sheng was shocked.
As soon as Gu Sheng's fingers touched Communication Jade Talisman, an unusual burning heat came from the warm jade.
He frowned.
"Junior brother! I'm in big trouble Myriad Ant Desert outside Xuancheng. Ah!"
Gu Ningshuang's voice was intermittent, and the last exclamation was like a knife piercing Gu Sheng's heart.
There was a faint clicking sound of some kind of arthropod in the background, which was eerie.
"Senior Sister Gu? Senior Sister Gu!"
Gu Sheng shouted at the jade talisman several times, but there was no response.
He stood up suddenly, and the sandalwood chair was knocked backwards, making a harsh sound on the ground.
Bai Lingtong was startled by the sudden movement and instinctively took a few steps back.
"Sir, what happened?"
Gu Sheng's eyes were sharp, but his voice was terrifyingly calm.
"Senior Sister Gu is in danger at Myriad Ant Desert."
Bai Lingtong took a deep breath.
"Myriad Ant Desert? That's not it."
"Xu Ling su said that Senior Sister Gu would go with the master to practice. It stands to reason that with Elder Heavenly Martial Realm leading the team, nothing should happen."
Gu Sheng spoke quickly, tapping his fingers on the table unconsciously.
"Unless."
"Unless they run into trouble that even Heavenly Martial Realm can't handle."
Bai Lingtong turned pale as he answered his words.
Gu Sheng was already striding outside the hospital, a gust of wind rising from the corners of his black outfit.
Bai Lingtong jogged to keep up.
"What do you need me to do?"
"Myriad Ant Desert's information, the sooner the better."
Gu Sheng said without looking back.
Bai Lingtong took out a roll of yellowed leather paper from the storage bag.
"What a coincidence, I just compiled the map of this area a few days ago."
Gu Sheng took the map and glanced at the dense markings on it.
"Thank you."
Before he finished speaking, the person turned into an afterimage and disappeared outside the courtyard gate.
Imperial Sect's teleportation array is located halfway up the main peak and is surrounded by twelve stone pillars engraved with runes.
Gu Sheng showed the core disciple token, and the guard immediately moved out of the way.
"Outside of Xuancheng, hurry!"
Gu Sheng said to the elder in charge of the magic circle.
Seeing his anxious expression, the elder didn't ask any more questions and formed a seal with his hands to activate the magic circle.
Following a burst of dazzling white light, Gu Sheng felt his body being torn apart and reassembled. When he opened his eyes again, he was standing on a desolate plain.
In the distance, the yellow sand filled Myriad Ant Desert looks like a dormant giant beast.
Gu Sheng unfolded the map to confirm the direction, and then used his body skills to gallop south.
The soles of his boots barely touched the ground, and with each step he could move more than ten feet, and the strong wind stirred up a trail of smoke and dust behind him.
Half an hour later, Gu Sheng stood on the edge of Myriad Ant Desert.
A wave of heat hit my face, and there was a certain sour smell in the air.
He activated Communication Jade Talisman again, and this time finally received a response.
"Junior Brother Gu, I have an oasis deep in the desert. There is also a ruined tower."
Gu Ningshuang's voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible.
"Be careful. There is a trap."
The signal is interrupted again.
Gu Sheng grasped the jade talisman tightly, his knuckles turning white.
He stepped into this desert of death.
After walking less than a hundred steps, Gu Sheng suddenly felt an unusual vibration coming from the sand beneath his feet.
His body flashed, and the place where he was standing exploded. A pair of huge black jaws as thick as an adult's arms broke out of the ground, and the air between them exploded.
"Black Tortoise Realm monster!"
Gu Sheng's pupils shrank, and the sword at his waist was already unsheathed.
The sand and dust dispersed, and Giant Ant, which was as big as a hill, appeared.
It was completely black, and its carapace was covered with strange red lines.
Following its ear-piercing neigh, the surrounding sand rose one after another, and five more equally terrifying Giant Ant broke out of the ground.
Further away, the sand waves rolled, and it was obvious that more Giant Ant were coming.
Gu Sheng made a prompt decision, turned around and was about to break out, but saw a dazzling blue-black light suddenly burst out from under his feet.
These rays of light quickly intertwined and formed an upside-down eggshell-shaped restriction in an instant, trapping him within it.
"Array?"
Gu Sheng felt a chill in his heart.
"Someone arranged it in advance to wait for me to enter the urn!"
He immediately thought of Shen Qingyun, who had recently had trouble with him.
This direct disciple of the inner sect elder has been holding a grudge since he defeated the other party in the sect competition.
"Hehehe"
A burst of sinister laughter came from outside the ban.
Gu Sheng looked around and saw a skinny old man in red robe standing on the sand dunes, holding a strange-shaped bone staff in his hand.
What is even more concerning is that Gu Sheng keenly discovered that there were several almost invisible black lines behind the old man, which penetrated the restriction and connected to those Giant Ant.
"Controlling monsters?"
Gu Sheng's heart sank.
"At least the spiritual power of the Heavenly Martial Realm."
The old man in red robe looked at Gu Sheng with his cloudy eyes, making a sound like sandpaper.
"As expected of a core disciple of the Imperial Sect, he discovered the old Soul Tether so quickly."
He licked his chapped lips.
"With such cultivation at such a young age, if he is made into a living puppet, he will definitely increase his strength by another level."
Gu Sheng sneered.
"Just these few bugs?"
"Sharp teeth and sharp mouth."
The old man didn't think he was dissatisfied and waved his bone staff lightly.
"Go, don't kill yourself, just save your breath."
Six Giant Ants screamed at the same time and pounced on Gu Sheng from different directions.
Their speed was completely inconsistent with their size, and all escape routes were blocked in the blink of an eye.
"Light Shadow Splitting Sword!"
Gu Sheng gave a clear shout, and the long sword in his hand suddenly transformed into nine indistinguishable figures, and rushed towards Giant Ant together with the real person.
This is his best group fighting skill, and he is always unfavorable in dealing with monsters with low intelligence.
Sure enough, the movement of the six-headed Giant Ant was stagnant, and multiple "Gu Sheng" were reflected in the compound eyes. I didn't know which one to attack.
"Little tricks."
The red-robed old man sneered, and the skull on the bone staff suddenly lit up with green light.
The black lines connecting Giant Ant trembled, and the six Giant Ants turned around at the same time and rushed towards Gu Sheng's real body!
"Can he see through my true identity?"
Gu Sheng was startled, and then he noticed something strange - a weak mental power penetrated the restriction and was firmly locked on himself.
Six Giant Ants rushed from all directions, their sharp jaws filled with cold light, powerful enough to tear through fine iron, causing a harsh sound of breaking through the air.
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed, and True Essence surged in his body.
"Nirvana Three Profound Transformations!"
With a low cry, Gu Sheng's whole body suddenly erupted in dazzling fire, and red flames wrapped around his body. The protective aura condensed into dozens of air swords in the flames, spinning rapidly around him.
"Cut!"
The air sword shot out of the air, and before Giant Ant at the front could react, its proud giant jaw was cut off by its roots.
The force of the Qi Sword continued unabated and penetrated Giant Ant's head directly. Before the green formic acid blood splattered out, Giant Ant collapsed to the ground.
"Hiss——"
The remaining five Giant Ants made piercing screams, and their giant jaws simultaneously bit Gu Sheng's vitals.
Gu Sheng does not dodge or evade, and the protective aura forms an invisible barrier in front of him.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
The sound of gold and iron clashing could be heard endlessly, but Giant Ant's bite was unable to break through this seemingly weak defense of Gangqi.
"Broken!"
Gu Sheng pointed his right hands together to form a sword, and a three-foot-long sword energy swept out, splitting Giant Ant on the left in two from head to tail.
Green formic acid fell on the ground and made a "chichi" sound, and the hard rock was corroded into deep pits.
Gu Sheng frowned slightly, instantly dissipated the body-protecting energy, and retreated more than ten feet.
"Sky Breaking Sword Art!"
Two rays of silver-white sword energy burst out from the fingertips at a speed so fast that it was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. They directly penetrated the compound eyes of Giant Ant on both ends and exited from the back of the head.
Giant Ant's huge body twitched a few times and then stopped moving.
In the end, the two Giant Ant seemed to sense the danger and turned around to escape at the same time.
"Want to leave?"
Gu Sheng sneered, formed seals with his hands, and chased out two sword energy, accurately piercing the weak spot on the back of Giant Ant's head.
Giant Ant, whose six heads were enough to make an ordinary Earth Martial Realm strong person hate him, was easily killed by Gu Sheng.
"Pah, pah, pah—"
A slow burst of applause came from the depths of the ban. The old man in red robe walked out slowly, with a cold light in his eyes.
"As expected of a junior who can break into this place, he really has a few tricks up his sleeve."
The old man's voice was hoarse.
"But it won't be that simple next time."
The old man waved his sleeves, and six black shadows flew out from the restriction, surrounding Gu Sheng in a fan shape.
Gu Sheng took a closer look and saw that there were actually six warriors. The weakest one had peak Black Tortoise Realm cultivation level, and the strongest one even reached the early stage of the Earth Martial Realm.
The strange thing is that these people's eyes are dull, their bodies are connected with thin black silk threads, but their movements are extremely flexible.
"Puppet?"
Gu Sheng felt a chill in his heart.
"Good eyesight."
The old man smiled grimly.
"These were once famous and powerful men, but now they are just my playthings."
The six puppets took action at the same time, and the swords, swords and shadows struck at Gu Sheng's vitals from different angles.
Gu Sheng's body moved around in a flash, but his sleeve was still cut open by a sword energy.
"The souls of these puppets have been drained, and their bodies are completely controlled by that old thing."
Yue Shen Gong's voice suddenly sounded in Gu Sheng's sea of consciousness.
"And the power within them feels familiar to me."
Gu Sheng asked in his heart while responding to the attack.
"Senior, do you have a way to crack it?"
"Use Divine Craftsman's Maze Hall! The control threads on these puppets are very special. If we can cut off the connection between the old man and the puppets"
Gu Sheng A palm-sized bronze palace suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand.
