"Split up and go around the checkpoint before reuniting."
Nangong Yingying had doubts in his purple eyes, but seeing that Gu Sheng looked confident, he didn't ask any more questions.
"Be careful."
The two immediately separated. Gu Sheng's figure blended into the night like a ghost, while Nangong Yingying turned into a ray of purple light and disappeared.
However, just when Gu Sheng landed and was about to sneak away, an invisible spiritual force suddenly locked onto him.
"Hmph!"
Gu Sheng snorted coldly, and golden ripples rippled in the sea of consciousness, shaking away the spiritual power.
"Huh?"
A surprised voice sounded.
The next moment, a middle-aged man wearing a purple gown appeared in front of Gu Sheng.
The man's face was majestic, his eyes were like lightning, and he exuded a powerful aura.
"The fourth level of the sect realm."
Gu Sheng felt shocked in his heart, but remained calm on the outside.
At the same time, Nangong Yingying was also forced to appear and came to Gu Sheng.
She said in a voice message.
"Be careful, this person is Purple Cloud Divine Sect Sixth Elder. He was once my sworn sister's confidant. Unexpectedly, he was actually Purple Cloud Ancestor's chess piece!"
Sixth Elder glanced at the two of them and sneered.
"Two juniors dare to break into Purple Cloud Forbidden Area? Let me explore the sea of consciousness, otherwise you will die!"
When he spat out the last word, the terrifying pressure pressed down like a mountain, and the surrounding trees instantly turned into powder.
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed coldly.
The sea of consciousness is the most secret place of a warrior. Once it is let go, life and death cannot be controlled by oneself.
"Senior, what does this mean?"
Nangong Yingying took a step forward, with anger in his purple eyes.
"We just."
"Shut up!"
Sixth Elder shouted loudly.
"Either let go of the sea of consciousness or die!"
Before he could finish his words, two rays of spiritual power had forcefully invaded their consciousness.
Nangong Yingying's face changed, and he was about to resist, but saw a sneer on Gu Sheng's lips.
"Seeking death!"
Gu Sheng gave a low drink, and a golden light suddenly bloomed between his eyebrows.
"Boom!"
As soon as Sixth Elder's mental power entered Gu Sheng's sea of consciousness, it was like hitting a wall of copper and iron.
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying golden wave swept over, instantly crushing his mental power.
"Ah!"
Sixth Elder groaned, his face suddenly turned pale, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Sixth Elder had a gloomy face and his cloudy eyes stared at the young man in front of him.
His skinny fingers trembled slightly, and the tingling sensation left in the sea of consciousness caused a turbulent wave in his heart.
"Earth Martial Realm, can actually crush my mental power?"
Sixth Elder's voice was hoarse, like sandpaper.
"Boy, what secrets do you have?"
Gu Sheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with sarcasm in his eyes.
"Old guy, you've lived a long time and you don't even know the most basic manners? Who allows you to casually explore other people's seas?"
"Presumptuous!"
Sixth Elder roared angrily, and the purple robe automatically moved without wind.
"Here Purple Cloud Mountain Range, I am the rule!"
Before he finished speaking, a dazzling light suddenly erupted from Gu Sheng's body. The shadow of Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron appeared behind him. As the nine dragon patterns moved around, Source Power was injected into his body.
Sixth Elder's pupils suddenly shrank, and the intuition of a strong Zong realm man made him retreat ten feet in an instant.
"Purple Cloud Sealing Heaven Talisman!"
Sixth Elder formed a seal with both hands, and a purple talisman condensed out of thin air, exuding suffocating pressure as the runes circulated.
The talisman turned into a stream of light and shot toward Gu Sheng, scorching the air wherever it passed.
"Gu Sheng Be careful!"
Nangong Yingying, who was watching the battle from a distance, exclaimed.
Gu Sheng's eyes were filled with light, and he held his right hand empty, and a long sword made of pure energy suddenly took shape.
Facing the deadly talisman roaring towards him, he advanced instead of retreating and slashed out with one sword!
"Boom"
In the deafening explosion, with Gu Sheng as the center, the ground with a radius of hundreds of feet suddenly collapsed.
Smoke and dust rose into the sky, the shock wave uprooted the surrounding ancient trees, and gravel splashed like raindrops.
Nangong Yingying had to hold up the Qi shield to barely block the aftermath.
Her face was pale, and her fingers unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes.
"This is a full blow from a strong man in the sect, he..."
The smoke and dust gradually dispersed, and a huge deep pit appeared in place.
At the bottom of the pit, Gu Sheng was kneeling on one knee, his body covered with spiderweb-like cracks and blood oozing out.
However, the strange thing is that those wounds are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, with new flesh and blood crawling to fill the cracks.
"How is that possible?!"
Sixth Elder stood in mid-air, the wrinkles on his face twisted in shock.
"Purple Cloud Sealing Heaven Talisman can severely injure even a strong person in the sect realm, but you Earth Martial Realm"
Gu Sheng slowly stood up straight, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and sneered.
"Old dog, is this all you can do?"
Sixth Elder Suddenly thought of something, his cloudy eyes suddenly opened wide.
"This recovery speed is Southern Emperor's Longevity Dao! Are you from Empress of the Southern Border?!"
Gu Sheng didn't answer. The Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron behind him lit up again, and a divine light blessed him.
Sixth Elder's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly crushed a jade talisman around his waist.
"Fourth brother, fifth brother, come and help me!"
Sixth Elder had just finished transmitting the message, and Gu Sheng had already appeared in front of him like a ghost.
"It's late."
There was a flash of cold light, and Sixth Elder felt a chill on his neck.
His eyes widened and he saw that his body was still standing in place, but his head had already flown into the air.
"Your southern border"
Sixth Elder's lips moved as he stared at Gu Sheng resentfully, and finally his consciousness completely dissipated.
Gu Sheng reached out to catch the falling head and quickly put it and the headless corpse into the storage ring.
He turned around and looked in the direction of Nangong Yingying, and found that she was standing there blankly, her beautiful eyes full of disbelief.
"What are you still doing? Let's go!"
Gu Sheng gave a low drink.
Nangong Yingying woke up from a dream and hurriedly came from the sky.
Her lips trembled.
"You killed the elder of Purple Cloud Grotto-Heaven?"
"How about waiting for him to call more helpers?"
Gu Sheng jumped onto her flying sword.
"Come on, he just summoned you."
Nangong Yingying's true energy was fully activated, and the flying sword turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the sky.
She couldn't help but look back at Gu Sheng.
"What you just used was Southern Emperor's Longevity Dao? You and Empress of the Southern Border."
"Now is not the time to talk about this."
Gu Sheng interrupted her, and her expression suddenly changed.
"No, it's coming!"
In the distant sky, two purple rays of light were approaching at an alarming speed, and the terrifying pressure could be felt even from miles away.
Nangong Yingying's pretty face turned pale.
"It's Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder, both are strong men at the fifth level of the sect realm or above!"
"Can you get rid of it?"
Gu Sheng asked in a deep voice.
Nangong Yingying gritted his teeth and shook his head.
"My sword speed is not as fast as theirs."
Gu Sheng squinted his eyes and suddenly pointed to the northwest.
"Fly over there!"
"That's deep in the Purple Cloud Mountain Range, and it's even more dangerous!"
"Listen to me!"
Gu Sheng The tone left no room for doubt.
Nangong Yingying hesitated for a moment, and finally changed direction.
Two purple rays of light behind him were getting closer and closer, and an old voice came like thunder.
"Kill me, Elder Purple Cloud Grotto-Heaven, and still want to escape? Today I will extract your souls and refine them!"
The terrifying sound shook Nangong Yingying's energy and blood, and the flying sword shook.
Gu Sheng held her shoulders and whispered.
"Don't look back, fly at full speed!"
At this moment, a dazzling purple light suddenly erupted from the deepest part of the valley, and a thick beam of light rose into the sky, and the spiritual energy within a radius of hundreds of miles boiled instantly.
"That's. Purple Cloud Grotto-Heaven turned on?"
Nangong Yingying exclaimed.
The moment Purple Cloud Grotto-Heaven is turned on, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth surges like a tide, forming ripples visible to the naked eye and spreading in all directions.
Gu Sheng and Nangong Yingying were originally being chased by Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder in a panic, but at this moment, they saw the two sect realm experts suddenly stopped and looked towards the sky with solemn expressions.
"Purple Cloud Grotto-Heaven is on!"
Fourth Elder's voice was filled with excitement that could not be concealed.
"Let's go back immediately!"
Fifth Elder glared at Gu Sheng unwillingly, but turned around without hesitation.
"You're lucky!"
The two purple figures disappeared in an instant, leaving only the frightened birds in the forest.
Nangong Yingying's chest rose and fell violently, and his fair cheeks turned red from the strenuous exercise.
She turned to look at Gu Sheng, her eyes full of doubts.
"They just left like that?"
Gu Sheng squinted his eyes and looked at the purple vortex gradually forming in the distant sky.
"The opening of Purple Cloud Grotto-Heaven is a big deal. They naturally value the sect's mission more than chasing us two little characters."
"Then us"
Nangong Yingying Before he finished speaking, Gu Sheng had already moved forward.
"Follow me."
His voice was low but firm.
"Now that they have no time to take care of us, it's a good opportunity to sneak into Purple Cloud Grotto-Heaven."
Nangong Yingying bit his lower lip and quickly followed.
"Are you sure? It must be heavily guarded there."
Gu Sheng The corner of his mouth raised slightly.
"The more dangerous the place, the greater the opportunity."
The two of them sneaked along, following the aura traces left by Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder.
As the distance shortened, the spiritual energy in the air became stronger and stronger, even making the skin feel slightly tingling.
When they climbed over the last mountain ridge, the sight before them made Nangong Yingying take a breath of air.
In the valley, thousands of warriors lined up neatly, their purple robes rustling in the aura wind.
At the front are nearly a hundred powerful Zong Realm warriors with powerful auras, and at the back are hundreds of the Heavenly Martial Realm late-stage warriors.
Opposite them is the joint team of other divine religions, which also has a strong lineup.
"Seventy-two Divine Sects spent a lot of money this time."
Gu Sheng whispered, looking across the audience.
"At least a hundred people from the sect would be seeking death if they forcefully break in."
Nangong Yingying grabbed Gu Sheng's sleeve nervously.
"Then how do we get in?"
Gu Sheng did not answer immediately, but closed his eyes, and his mental power spread like a tide.
After a moment, he opened his eyes.
"There is no king realm aura, but there are too many sect realms. Who can your human skin mask imitate?"
"Anyone I've seen and remembered their appearance can imitate."
Nangong Yingying said, the muscles on his face squirmed and instantly transformed into the appearance of a strange woman.
"But it takes a close look at the target to fully imitate the breath."
Gu Sheng nodded, his eyes locked on the shrinking team outside.
"The opportunity has come, come with me!"
He grabbed Nangong Yingying's hand, and the two of them rushed out like ghosts.
In the chaotic moment of team handover, they quietly blended into the end of an inconspicuous team.
The whole process was so incredibly fast that the surrounding warriors didn't even notice that there were two more people.
"Don't talk, use your mental power to communicate."
Gu Sheng's voice sounded directly in Nangong Yingying's mind.
"Did you see the two sect guards at the entrance? I need you to divert one of them away."
Nangong Yingying's body stiffened.
"Are you crazy? If we fail, we will be besieged by hundreds of people!"
"Always give it a try."
Gu Sheng had a dangerous light in his eyes.
"As long as we kill the guards, we'll have a chance to rush in."
Nangong Yingying was silent for a moment, the expression on his face changed several times, and finally he gritted his teeth and said.
"Okay, I'll give it a try. But I can hold him back for thirty breaths at most. You have to deal with the other one as soon as possible."
Gu Sheng The corners of his mouth curved with confidence.
"Don't worry, after fusing Longevity Dao, my physical body is strong enough to support four or five Source Power bursts."
"Enemy attack!"
A sharp shout broke the tranquility at the entrance of Purple Cloud Grotto-Heaven.
Gu Sheng's lips curled into a sneer, he had been waiting for this moment.
Fifth Elder's communication magic weapon had just finished flashing, and the golden spiritual cone had already blasted in front of him.
There was a soft sound of "chi" in the air, which was the sound of spiritual power tearing the air apart.
"Little tricks!"
Fifth Elder roared angrily, and the mental barrier he had hurriedly set up could only block the golden cone, but he was also shocked to take three steps back.
Nangong Yingying's gun light came one after another, and the silver-white light passed by like a meteor, going straight to Fifth Elder's throat.
"Hmph!"
Fifth Elder's right fist suddenly shot out, and the fist wind collided with the gun light, making a deafening explosion.
As the air waves rolled, the surrounding low-level monks were lifted several feet away.
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed and he said in a voice message.
"Yingying, follow the plan!"
Nangong Yingying understood, retreated violently, and shouted deliberately at the same time.
"Old man, come after me if you can!"
Fifth Elder really fell into the trap and became furious.
"Junior is seeking death!"
He flashed across a distance of tens of feet and struck Nangong Yingying in the face with a palm.
"Now!"
Eighteen Grotto-Heavens in Gu Sheng's body opened at the same time, and the majestic true energy condensed into a translucent energy barrier in front of him.
"Bang!"
Fifth Elder's palm force hit the barrier, sending air waves flying everywhere.
The barrier shattered with the sound, but Nangong Yingying used the force to fly back dozens of feet, turned around and fled towards the dense forest in the distance.
"Where to run!"
Fifth Elder has no doubt that he is there and pursues him closely.
Fourth Elder's face changed suddenly when he saw this.
"Lao Wu, come back! This is the tune."
Before he could finish his words, a fierce sword energy had already locked onto him.
Fourth Elder was shocked and turned around suddenly, only to see a Dao Body silhouette rushing out of the chaotic crowd like a ghost, so fast that it almost left an afterimage.
"Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron, now!"
Gu Sheng shouted low, and the shadow of a simple cauldron appeared behind him, with nine dragon patterns coiled around it, exuding suffocating pressure.
A dazzling golden light shot out from the cauldron and enveloped Gu Sheng's whole body.
"Not good!"
Fourth Elder's pupils shrank suddenly and he crushed the jade talisman in his sleeve without hesitation.
A three-foot-thick light shield was instantly formed, covered with mysterious runes.
"King Realm Armor Talisman?"
Gu Sheng's eyes were filled with surprise, but the strength of the simple rapier in his hand remained intact.
"It's a pity that you can't stop me!"
"Zheng"
The sword light was like a rainbow, and the rapier collided with the light shield, making a harsh friction sound.
The light shield was quickly covered with cracks. Cold sweat broke out on Fourth Elder's forehead as he frantically activated his energy to maintain the light shield.
"Break it for me!"
Gu Sheng With a flick of his wrist, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from the tip of the sword.
