"Yes, yes, I'm too talkative, sir, please forgive me."
After saying that, he turned around and left dejectedly.
Gu Sheng shook his head and was about to close the door when he suddenly heard a clear voice coming from behind.
"Squeak"
The door was pushed open, and a young man with a handsome face in a brocade robe strode in, the jade pendant on his waist jingling with his steps.
"Brother Gu, are you satisfied with this Moon Gazing Pavilion?"
Tang Qingyun was smiling, but his eyes were looking back and forth at Gu Sheng.
"This is the best place to live in the city, especially for warriors."
Gu Sheng didn't look back, just said calmly.
"Young Master Tang, you have troubled yourself."
Tang Qingyun didn't take it seriously, walked to Gu Sheng and lowered his voice.
"Moon Gazing Pavilion is not only the largest inn in the city, but it is also a place specially built for warriors to practice together."
He smiled meaningfully.
"There are several female cultivators with good cultivation in the pavilion. If Brother Gu is interested,"
"No need."
Gu Sheng turned around, his eyes as calm as water.
"Gu doesn't like this kind of thing. It's more to my liking to be alone."
Tang Qingyun looked surprised, then smiled.
"Brother Gu is different. It doesn't matter. If necessary, just give me orders at any time."
He cupped his hands.
"Then Tang will not bother you."
After Tang Qingyun left, Gu Sheng frowned slightly.
This Blazing Sun City young master looks enthusiastic, but there is some kind of calculation hidden deep in his eyes.
He walked to the bed and sat cross-legged, and began to practice breathing while being alert to possible prying eyes around him.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, a rapid knock on the door interrupted Gu Sheng's practice.
"Come in."
The door was pushed open, and a man in gray clothes, Zhao San, walked in quickly, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.
He is a local warrior secretly hired by Gu Sheng a few days ago to investigate Jade Capital Sect's clues.
"Sir, there is news."
Zhao San's voice was very low, and his eyes kept glancing outside the door.
"About the Jade Capital Sect"
Gu Sheng's eyes narrowed.
"Say."
"I found out that Jade Capital Sect is indeed related to Blazing Sun City, but I'm about to investigate further."
Zhao San's Adam's apple rolled and his voice was almost inaudible.
"I was stopped."
"Who?"
Zhao San looked frightened.
"That person. That person is too young to say anything. I just want to remind you that the other person has a very high status in Blazing Sun City."
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed.
The extremely high-status figures in Blazing Sun City are none other than Blazing Sun King himself or several generals under Town South King.
And Tang Qingyun's seemingly casual conversation yesterday.
"Stop investigating."
Gu Sheng said suddenly.
Zhao San was relieved.
"Thank you for your understanding!"
After his men left, Gu Sheng stood in front of the window and meditated.
Jade Capital Sect is related to Blazing Sun King Wangfu? Maybe Blazing Sun King is the descendant of the Jade Capital Sect? This thought shocked him.
At this moment, the door was pushed open again without knocking.
Tang Qingyun entered with his hands behind his back, followed by two guards in black with deep breaths.
There was still a smile on his face, but his eyes no longer had the casualness of yesterday.
"Brother Gu, I heard that you are investigating Jade Capital Sect?"
Tang Qingyun Get straight to the point.
Gu Sheng's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface.
"Why did Mr. Tang say this?"
Tang Qingyun chuckled, turned his right hand over, and a simple bronze token appeared in his palm.
The token is engraved with a vigorous and powerful character "", with complex lines on the edges, and there is a faint flow of spiritual power.
"Do you recognize this?"
Tang Qingyun throws the token to Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng caught the token and felt it was cold, and a strange power came from the token.
He looked at it carefully for a moment, then shook his head.
"Never seen it before."
"Jade Capital Token."
Tang Qingyun stopped smiling.
"Blazing Sun King is the descendant of the Jade Capital Sect."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
Gu Sheng could feel that the two guards behind Tang Qingyun had locked onto him and might take action at any time.
"Gu just heard the name Jade Capital Sect by chance and made some inquiries out of curiosity."
Gu Sheng returns the token.
"I would like to apologize if I have offended your noble family."
Tang Qingyun did not take the token, but looked directly into Gu Sheng's eyes.
"Why investigate Jade Capital Sect?"
Gu Sheng was silent for a moment and said calmly.
"I read in an ancient book that Jade Capital Sect has a secret method that can greatly increase the strength of the Earth Martial Realm warrior, and can even rival the strong Heavenly Martial Realm."
His eyes were sincere.
"As a warrior, I am naturally curious about such secret techniques."
Tang Qingyun had surprise in his eyes, and then an invisible spiritual power surged towards Gu Sheng like a tide.
This force is overbearing and secretive, trying to penetrate Gu Sheng's surface consciousness and explore the authenticity of his words.
Gu Sheng made no resistance and allowed the opponent's mental power to sweep past him.
He has long hidden his true purpose, and what he wants on the surface is exactly what he said: to find a secret method to improve his strength.
After a while, Tang Qingyun regained his mental power and his expression softened slightly.
"That's it."
He took the token and his tone turned stern.
"Brother Gu, Tang made it clear today. The Jade Capital Sect matter is Blazing Sun City taboo. I don't want to see anyone investigating in the city again."
He paused, and a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Otherwise, I won't be so polite next time."
Before he finished speaking, a powerful aura erupted from Tang Qingyun.
Heavenly Martial Realm The pressure of the sixth level was like Mount Tai, and the air in the entire room seemed to freeze.
The tea set on the table trembled slightly, and the window lattice made an overwhelming "squeaking" sound.
Gu Sheng's expression remained unchanged, and the true energy in his body circulated naturally, resisting this pressure.
He nodded slightly.
"Gu took note of Mr. Tang's words."
Tang Qingyun took a deep look at Gu Sheng, seemingly surprised by his calmness.
After a moment, he gathered his breath and turned towards the door.
By the time the last burst of energy dissipated in the air, Gu Sheng's back was soaked with cold sweat.
He stood by the window on the third floor of the Moon Gazing Pavilion, his fingers caressing the carvings on the window lattice unconsciously, but his eyes penetrated the window paper, as if he wanted to see clearly the undercurrent hidden under this city.
"That mental power just now almost knocked me out of your sea of consciousness."
Innate Spirit Embryo's voice sounded in Gu Sheng's mind, with a rare solemnity.
"At least the middle stage of King Realm."
Gu Sheng said with a bitter smile on his lips.
"Blazing Sun King Tang Muzhi, the owner of this city. I should have thought that it would be too ostentatious to inquire about the Jade Capital Sect on their territory."
"He sensed my presence."
The spirit fetus's voice trembled slightly.
"A king-level warrior's perception of spiritual beings in the world is far beyond that of ordinary people."
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed, and he quickly took out a green jade talisman from the storage ring and crushed it.
An invisible barrier instantly enveloped the whole body, blocking outside exploration.
He walked quickly towards the stairs and said through the voice at the same time.
"Blazing Sun King would never let go of this opportunity if he knew you were Innate Spirit Embryo. We must leave immediately."
"Aren't you going to look for clues about the Jade Capital Sect?"
The spirit fetus asked.
"My life is gone, what clues are there to look for?"
Gu Sheng kept walking and reached the lobby on the first floor in a blink of an eye.
He casually threw a piece of mid-grade Spirit Stone to the shopkeeper.
"Thanks for the hospitality."
Stepping out of the Moon Gazing Pavilion gate, the bustling street scene of Blazing Sun City comes into view.
The vendors were shouting and pedestrians were everywhere, creating a peaceful scene.
Gu Sheng But he felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He clearly felt that several eyes were locking on him from different angles.
"Someone is following."
The spirit fetus reminded.
Gu Sheng calmly turned into an alley, and at the same time took out a bronze Ancient Mirror from his arms.
Ripples appeared on the mirror, and his face distorted and changed in the blink of an eye, from a delicate young man to a rugged man with beards.
The aura also changed accordingly, falling from the peak of the Earth Martial Realm to the early stage of the Human Martial Realm.
"Thousand Illusions Mirror can deceive ordinary warriors, but it cannot deceive the mark left by a king-level expert."
The spiritual fetus is worried.
Gu Sheng took back Thousand Illusions Mirror and said in a deep voice.
"I know. But at least we can get rid of those little minions."
He quickened his pace and changed streets three times, moving around like a fish among the crowd.
However, that feeling of being locked in remained with me.
"Still."
The voice of the spirit fetus was as tight as a string.
Gu Sheng had a ruthless look in his eyes as he suddenly turned and galloped towards the teleportation array in the west of the city.
Since you can't get rid of it, then break through head-on!
At the same time, inside Blazing Sun King's Estate.
Tang Qingyun knelt down on one knee and reported respectfully.
"Father, that Gu Sheng has changed its appearance three times and is now moving towards the teleportation array."
Tang Muzhi stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands. The sunlight gilded him with a layer of gold, but it could not drive away the sinister bird of prey in his eyes.
"He's quite a clever boy."
he sneered.
"It's a pity that no matter how many disguises you use, you can't escape the 'Blazing Sun Mark' planted by this king."
"Do you want to do it now?"
Tang Qingyun asked for instructions.
Tang Muzhi shook his head.
"There are many eyes and ears in the city, especially Town South King's spy. Wait until he leaves the city before taking action."
He turned around, his eyes like daggers.
"Remember, Innate Spirit Embryo is of great importance and must be captured alive. As for that kid, deal with it cleanly."
"My son understands."
Tang Qingyun's eyes flashed with greed.
"It is said that Innate Spirit Embryo can help people break through the King Realm barrier"
"Hmph, does Earth Martial Realm deserve to have such a divine item?"
Tang Muzhi waved his sleeves.
"Go ahead and bring a few more good hands. That boy must be extraordinary if he can kill me Blazing Sun Guard."
Tang Qingyun took the order and retreated. Soon, five Dao Body figures left the palace quietly, sneaking towards the west of the city like cheetahs.
Gu Sheng has arrived at the edge of the teleportation array square at this time.
He slowed down and looked around casually.
People were coming and going in the square. There were more than a dozen teleportation arrays with various lights, and warriors came in and out from time to time.
"There are at least three Heavenly Martial Realm and one Zongjing is watching you."
The spirit fetus warned.
"Blazing Sun King What a great gesture."
Gu Sheng's heart sank slightly.
With his current strength, he can still deal with a Heavenly Martial Realm, but he is far from being able to compete with a strong person in the sect realm.
Not to mention there may be more ambushes in the dark.
"The teleportation array to Southern Xinjiang is over there."
Gu Sheng glanced at the northeast corner of the square, where there was a black stone array carved with wild beast patterns.
"But going there directly is like throwing yourself into a trap."
He suddenly turned around and walked towards the restaurant in the opposite direction.
"Fill your stomach first and let them wait a little longer."
On the second floor of the restaurant, Gu Sheng chose a seat by the window and sat down.
From this angle, he could clearly see the movement in the teleportation array area.
Sure enough, several figures became obviously restless after he changed direction.
"They're anxious."
Gu Sheng took a sip of wine and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"What are you going to do?"
The spirit fetus asked.
"Source Power can only be used once, if the opponent sends multiple masters."
Gu Sheng put down the wine glass, his eyes flashing.
"Blazing Sun King doesn't dare to take action in the city, which shows that he has scruples. There is only one person in this city that he can be afraid of."
Gu Sheng walked through the streets of Blazing Sun City. His footsteps seemed calm, but in fact, every step followed a certain mysterious rhythm.
When he passed Drunken Immortal Tower in the south of the city for the third time, beads of sweat were already oozing out from his forehead.
"Can't get rid of it"
Gu Sheng's heart was filled with fear, and the mental power locked like a gangrene on his bones was always entangled within three feet of his body.
The opponent must be at least a strong person in the sect realm and specialize in spirituality, otherwise it would be impossible to maintain such a precise lock at such a long distance.
He calmly wiped the sweat from his forehead, flicked his fingers on his sleeve, and rolled a copper coin silently into the beggar's broken bowl on the street.
With this action, he glanced at the bustling crowd behind him from the corner of his eye. Three seemingly unrelated passers-by turned slightly sideways at the same time.
"Three Talents Soul Locking Array"
Gu Sheng's pupils shrank.
This is a combined attack technique commonly used by Blazing Heaven Sacred Land's peripheral disciples. It seems that the other party is not only highly cultivated, but also has helpers.
He suddenly turned north.
Since you can't get rid of it, you can only take advantage of the situation.
The vermilion gate of the Town South King's Mansion is already in sight, and the spiritual power that follows him really begins to fluctuate, gradually weakening as if blocked by an invisible barrier.
"You really don't dare to spy on the palace?"
Gu Sheng A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Just when he was still a hundred steps away from the main entrance of the palace, a ray of silver light suddenly crossed the long street!
"Stop!"
A cold female voice came to my face along with the fierce wind of gunfire.
Gu Sheng's figure came to a sudden stop. Three inches in front of him, the tip of a bright silver gun was trembling slightly, and there was still wet blood on the gun's tassel.
The one holding the gun was a woman wearing black armor.
Her eyebrows were like sharp swords, her eyes were like Cold Star, and the dense knife marks on her armor silently told of countless life-and-death battles.
The most eye-catching thing is the hideous scar on her left cheek, which extends from the cheekbone to the lower jaw, like a centipede lying on her face.
"The royal palace is an important place, and idle people retreat."
The woman's voice was as cold as iron, and her spear remained motionless.
Gu Sheng took half a step back and saluted calmly.
"My Excellency, Blazing Heaven Sacred Land Yellow Character Pavilion, Deacon Gu Sheng, came to see Town South King."
"Blazing Heaven Sacred Land?"
The cold light in the woman's eyes suddenly grew, and she moved the tip of the gun forward half an inch.
"Do you have proof?"
Gu Sheng calmly took out a Crimson Jade Token from his arms.
The front of the token is engraved with a blazing fire, but the back is a pattern of an unsheathed sword. This is Blazing Heaven Sacred Land's special token of cooperation with the military.
The woman was obviously startled when she saw the token, and then her face became even colder.
"Where did you know that the prince needs a way to break through the realm and extend his life?"
"Blazing Sun City Major drug stores have recently purchased Soul Continuation Grass and Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng."
Gu Sheng smiled slightly.
"Who else can do this kind of work besides Town South King's Mansion?"
The spear remained motionless, but Gu Sheng keenly noticed that the woman's fingers holding the gun were slightly white.
The two were in a stalemate for a moment, and the woman suddenly put away her gun and turned around.
"Wait."
She strode towards the side door of the palace, her black armor glowing coldly in the sunlight.
