At the same time, the real Gu Sheng was speeding through the mountains and forests holding Xie Qingxuan.
Beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and Nine Grotto-Heavens was running wildly inside his body, leaving deep cracks on the ground with every step he took.
"Gu Gu Gongzi."
Xie Qingxuan spoke weakly, his pale face full of guilt.
"Let me go. I will only drag you down."
Gu Sheng frowned and did not answer, but just hugged the person in his arms tighter.
"Really."
Xie Qingxuan struggled to raise his head, with tears in his eyes.
"Your clone method cannot be hidden from the strong men of the sect for long. Only when you let go of me will you have a chance."
"Shut up!"
Gu Sheng shouted lowly, but his voice was surprisingly gentle.
"I Gu Sheng do things and never give up halfway."
Tears flashed in Xie Qingxuan's eyes, and she tremblingly took out a Jade Box from her arms.
"This is. Spirit Flame Immortal Herb. If you have a chance to escape, please send it to the Xie Family"
Gu Sheng kept walking, lowered his head and glanced at the exquisite Jade Box, feeling an unprecedented warmth in his heart.
In this Cultivation World, where the jungle is strong and the jungle is strong, there are still people who are willing to sacrifice for others.
"Silly girl."
He sighed.
"Since I brought you out, I will definitely send you back safely."
Xie Qingxuan wanted to say something else, but his expression suddenly changed.
"They're coming after me!"
Gu Sheng swept his consciousness, and sure enough he sensed several powerful auras approaching quickly.
The two auras at the front are particularly terrifying. They are the two elders of the Divine Blood Sect!
"Close your eyes."
Gu Sheng said suddenly.
"What?"
Xie Qingxuan was stunned.
"Trust me, close your eyes."
Gu Sheng's voice is calm and carries unquestionable power.
Xie Qingxuan Although he was confused, he still closed his eyes obediently.
The next moment, she felt like the world was spinning. When she opened her eyes again, she was already in a strange and magnificent Bronze Great Hall.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine steps extend upward, and at the end is a huge bronze throne, exuding an ancient and majestic atmosphere.
The entire space was silent, with only the sound of her own breathing echoing.
"Here is"
Xie Qingxuan looked around in shock.
"Wait here."
The shadow of Gu Sheng flashed in front of her.
"I'll let you out when it's safe."
"Mr. Gu!"
Xie Qingxuan's eyes were red, and he reached out to catch the shadow that was about to dissipate.
"You"
The shadow had disappeared, leaving her standing alone in the empty hall.
Outside, Gu Sheng's figure suddenly blurred in everyone's eyes for a moment, and then became clear again.
Xue Wuya at the front had doubts in his eyes, but they were quickly replaced by ferocious looks.
"You little beast, can't you run away?"
Xue Wuya smiled coldly and shot out with a palm from the air.
"Hand over Xie Family girl, I'll give you a treat!"
The bloody palm prints swelled in the wind, turned into a size of ten feet in the blink of an eye, and descended towards Gu Sheng with the stench of blood.
Gu Sheng sneered, and the shadow of Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron suddenly appeared behind him.
Nine golden dragons roamed around the tripod, making deafening roars.
The golden light in the cauldron soared into the sky, scattering the bloody palm prints.
"Old dog!"
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with cold light.
"Do you really think I don't dare to risk my life?"
Xue Wuya and another Divine Blood Sect elder Xue Wuhen stopped at the same time, their faces slightly changed.
They had seen with their own eyes the terrifying power of Gu Sheng's sword, which could severely injure even a strong man in the sect realm.
"Everyone obey orders!"
Xue Wuya shouted sharply.
"Hold him! Anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy!"
Six or seven Heavenly Martial Realm powerful figures surrounded him from all directions, and all kinds of magic weapons and spells were overwhelmingly thrown at Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the long sword in his hand suddenly changed direction and slashed towards the ground!
"Boom!"
The huge repulsive force caused him to soar into the sky like a cannonball.
At the same time, Nine Grotto-Heavens burst out simultaneously in his body, providing him with unprecedented speed.
"No! He wants to escape!"
Xue Wuhen's face changed drastically.
"Stop him!"
Xue Wuya roared.
But it's too late.
The figure of Gu Sheng drew a golden trajectory in the air and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
Only his cold voice came from far away.
"Xue Wuya, Xue Wuhen! Today's revenge is recorded by Gu! One day, Divine Blood Sect will kill you two!"
"Little beast!"
Xue Wuya was so angry that he was shaking all over, and blood almost burst out of his eyes.
"Seal all the mountains within a thousand miles! Not even a fly is allowed to escape!"
When Wu Santong and others arrived, they only saw Xue Wuya furious.
"Elder Xue, that boy."
"Shut up!"
Xue Wuya shouted angrily.
"Immediately pass the order, all Divine Blood Sect disciples are dispatched! If you are alive, you will see people, if you are dead, you will see corpses!"
Wu Santong and the elder beside him looked at each other, and both saw deep worry in the other's eyes.
They know that if Gu Sheng cannot be eliminated today, the two major sects may never have peace in the future.
"Uh"
Gu Sheng opened his eyes suddenly, and a heartbreaking pain immediately came from his limbs.
He subconsciously wanted to get up, but found that he couldn't even lift a finger.
His body seemed to have been cut by countless tiny blades, and every inch of his skin felt burning pain.
"This is what I am"
Memories came flooding back.
Spirit Flame Mountain Range, the scene where he forced Source Power to break out of the two major sects' siege was still vivid in his mind.
At the last moment, he detonated Source Power to bombard the ground, and used the force of recoil to break out of the encirclement, but at the cost.
"Has your body completely collapsed?"
Gu Sheng rolled his eyes with difficulty and looked around.
This is a dark cave, with several stalactites hanging from the ceiling, and the ground is damp and cold.
The faint light of a campfire danced in the distance, bringing warmth to this dark space.
"Ahem."
He tried to cough, but instead spewed out a mouthful of Black Blood with visceral fragments.
His internal organs seemed to be shattered, and every breath was accompanied by severe pain.
What's even more terrifying is that he can feel that the meridians in his body are like a dry river bed, full of cracks.
"Forcibly activated Source Power twice, and it really exceeded the limit."
Gu Sheng smiled bitterly in his heart.
This was his trump card to save his life, but faced with the siege of several Heavenly Martial Realm masters, he had no choice.
Thinking about it now, it was a miracle that he escaped alive.
He tried moving his body again, but it only made the pain worse.
After spinning for a while, he had to give up and collapsed to the ground again.
"Someone!"
Suddenly, Gu Sheng was keenly aware of movement at the entrance of the cave.
He immediately held his breath and endured the severe pain to gather his remaining mental strength.
Although his current condition is extremely poor, if there is an enemy, he can at least fight to the death.
"Mr. Gu! Are you awake?"
A clear female voice came from the entrance of the cave, with a surprise that could not be concealed.
Gu Sheng was slightly startled, the voice seemed familiar.
The footsteps approached, and a girl wearing a light green dress appeared in sight.
She held a large banana leaf in her hand, which was piled with bright red wild fruits.
The sun shone in from behind her, giving her a golden rim.
"Thank you Xie Qingxuan?"
Gu Sheng recognized the person, and his tense nerves relaxed slightly.
Xie Qingxuan ran to Gu Sheng in three steps and then squatted down, his eyes full of concern.
"Great! You've been in a coma for two days. I'm so scared of you."
She suddenly stopped mid-sentence, as if she didn't dare to continue.
"Did you save me?"
Gu Sheng's voice was hoarse, and every word he spoke felt like a knife was scraping through his throat.
Xie Qingxuan nodded and put the banana leaf aside.
"I waited in the main hall for a long time and didn't see you come out, so I looked for a way out by myself. After I came out, I found you unconscious not far away, so I brought you to this cave."
As she spoke, she took off a water bag from her waist, carefully lifted Gu Sheng's head, and let him drink some water.
The cool water slid down his throat, Gu Sheng felt better.
He noticed that Xie Qingxuan was moving very skillfully, and it was obvious that he had been taking care of him in the past two days.
"Thank you."
Gu Sheng thanks you sincerely.
In Cultivation World, there are not many people who can lend a helping hand to strangers.
Xie Qingxuan shook his head, a blush appearing on his face.
"Young Master Gu is serious. If you hadn't rescued me in the hall, I would have died long ago. This trivial matter is not worth mentioning."
Gu Sheng didn't say anything more. Cultivators pay attention to cause and effect, so he remembered this kindness.
"How long have I been unconscious? Where is this place?"
he asked instead.
"About two days."
Xie Qingxuan counted on his fingers.
"This place is already very far away from Spirit Flame Mountain. I will take you all the way east, which should be more than three thousand miles."
Gu Sheng nodded slightly.
At this distance, people from the two major sects should not be able to catch up in a short period of time.
However
"You haven't met the arresters from the two major sects?"
Xie Qingxuan shook his head.
"No. I took a back road, and"
She hesitated.
"I used the invisibility charm that my grandfather gave me."
Gu Sheng had surprise in his eyes.
The concealment charm is valuable. It seems that Xie Qingxuan's grandfather has a high status in the Xie Family.
"You don't have to worry."
Gu Sheng could see her worry.
"Their target is me, and Xie Family will not be implicated."
Xie Qingxuan bit his lip.
"I'm not worried about this, I'm worried about your injury."
Her eyes fell on Gu Sheng's cracked arm, her eyes filled with distress.
"Is your injury serious?"
Gu Sheng smiled bitterly.
"It is indeed not light. The internal organs are damaged, the meridians are broken, and Source Power is exhausted."
He paused.
"But I can't die."
"Do you need any medicinal materials? I can find them!"
Xie Qingxuan asked eagerly.
Gu Sheng thought for a moment.
"It would be best if you have jade bone grass, coagulation fruit, and century-old Ganoderma lucidum. You can refine the 'Huitian Pill' to speed up recovery."
"Jade Bone Grass? Blood Coagulation Fruit?"
Xie Qingxuan's eyes lit up.
"I saw it outside by the mountain stream!"
Gu Sheng is a little surprised.
"Do you know these medicinal materials?"
Xie Qingxuan smiled sheepishly.
"Although my cultivation level is not high, I have studied pharmacology from my grandfather since I was a child. I still know these basic medicinal materials."
Gu Sheng nodded.
"Then I'll trouble you. But be careful. Although this place is far away from Spirit Flame Mountain, there is no guarantee that there won't be spies from the two major sects."
"I understand."
Xie Qingxuan nodded solemnly and then stood up.
"I'm going to collect herbs right now and I'll be back soon."
Looking at the back of the girl leaving in a hurry, Gu Sheng let out a long sigh of relief.
With the help of Xie Qingxuan, his recovery speed will be much faster.
After Xie Qingxuan's footsteps completely disappeared, Gu Sheng closed his eyes and sank into the sea of consciousness.
"Spirit fetus?"
There was chaos in the sea of consciousness. Innate Spirit Embryo, which should have been lively and agile, was now languid, huddled in the corner, its light dim.
"How are you?"
Gu Sheng asked with spiritual consciousness.
The spirit fetus reluctantly raised his head and conveyed a vague message.
Gu Sheng learned from this that the incarnation controlled by the spiritual fetus had attracted half of the pursuers, but under the attack of several Heavenly Martial Realm masters, the incarnation was finally destroyed.
"Is the avatar still available?"
Gu Sheng endured the severe pain in his meridians and asked hoarsely.
"No more."
Innate Spirit Embryo's voice sounded in his mind, crisp and almost cold.
"Those Heavenly Martial Realm warriors and two Zongjing teamed up to attack and directly destroyed the avatar. It will take a long time to regroup. And"
It paused, with a hint of warning in its tone.
"Even if it works, you don't have true energy in your body now. How can you provide energy for the incarnation?"
Gu Sheng was silent for a moment, with a wry smile on his lips.
Of course he knew how dangerous his situation was. Now, even a Black Tortoise Realm monster could kill him easily.
"If the masters of the two major sects were outside the secret realm at that time, you might not be able to escape this time."
Innate Spirit Embryo continued, with a hint of fear in his voice.
"You are too brave, you dare to force Source Power under such circumstances."
Gu Sheng ignored its complaints, gritted his teeth, put his hands on the ground, moved his body little by little, and sat on the wet mountain wall.
Every time he moved, his meridians felt like they were pricked by countless fine needles, and the pain caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead.
"Hoo"
He took a deep breath, forced himself to sit cross-legged, formed a seal with his hands, and started running Nine Dragon Qiankun Art.
As soon as the technique started to work, there was a tearing pain in the meridians.
Gu Sheng groaned, blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Stop being brave!"
Innate Spirit Embryo said anxiously.
"You have reached your limit by using Source Power. If you continue like this, it will damage your foundation and even put your life in danger!"
"Shut up."
Gu Sheng gritted his teeth and said in a low and firm voice.
"I have to recover as soon as possible"
He knew how bad his current state was. His meridians were severely damaged, his Dantian was blocked, and even the most basic movement of Qi was difficult.
But time waits for no one. Who knows when those who are chasing him will find this place?
"At least try not to use Source Power."
Gu Sheng recited silently in the heart and continued to operate the mental method.
Nine Dragon Qiankun Art was flowing hard inside his body, and every inch he advanced was like a knife cutting him.
"If you can penetrate the critical point of Dantian within an hour and activate a Grotto-Heaven in the body, the recovery speed of the injury will be accelerated."
Gu Sheng was thinking in his mind, forcing himself to ignore the almost fainting pain.
At the same time, deep in the dense forest outside the cave.
Xie Qingxuan carefully pushed aside the shrubs in front of him and fixed his gaze on several spiritual grasses emitting light fluorescence.
That is the "Seven Star Meridian Replenishing Grass" that Gu Sheng needs, and it has a miraculous effect on meridian injuries.
"Found it!"
She was overjoyed and was about to step forward to pick it when suddenly there was a sharp sound breaking through the air behind her.
"Be careful!"
She instinctively dodged sideways, but she was still a step too slow. An invisible wind blade grazed her back, and blood immediately dripped from her back.
"Ah!"
Xie Qingxuan screamed in pain, staggered and fell to the ground.
