"Shen Qingtian, you have violated martial law by bringing outsiders into the Holy Courtyard."
One of the young men with a sinister face sneered.
"We have the right to capture you and send you to the Law Enforcement Hall for trial."
The other person glanced at Gu Sheng contemptuously.
"Boy, if you know what's going on, get out of here. This is not the place for an ant like you."
Gu Sheng frowned slightly and turned to look at Shen Qingtian.
"Can you kill these two?"
As soon as these words came out, the three people present were stunned.
Shen Qingtian looked surprised and then shook his head.
"Outer Court disciples will be killed if they are killed, but they are Inner Court disciples, and they have a master's background behind them. If they are killed, they will be in big trouble."
"Hahaha!"
The two Inner Court disciples laughed when they heard this, as if they had heard a big joke.
"Kill us? Just because you are a loser?"
The sinister young man's face darkened.
"Break his bones and throw him out of the holy courtyard!"
"Yes, senior brother!"
Another disciple moved in response, his body flashed in front of Gu Sheng like a ghost, his right leg was like a whip, and he struck Gu Sheng's head with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
"Be careful!"
Shen Qingtian exclaimed.
Gu Sheng stood motionless, with a cold look in his eyes.
Just when the wind from the opponent's leg was about to touch his hair, Gu Sheng suddenly moved.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the Inner Court disciple didn't even see how Gu Sheng made his move. He flew backwards like a kite with its string cut off. A large mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, and he hit the bluestone ground dozens of feet away.
"You!"
The sinister young man's face changed drastically, and he looked at Gu Sheng in disbelief.
Shen Qingtian also had worry in his eyes.
"Gu Sheng."
"Don't worry, I'm measured."
Gu Sheng said lightly.
"Can't die."
He turned to the remaining Inner Court disciple with cold eyes.
"Go away by yourself, or should I send you off?"
The sinister young man's expression was uncertain, and he finally gritted his teeth and said.
"Okay, very good! Just wait for me!"
After saying that, he turned around to help his companion and left in embarrassment.
Gu Sheng said to Shen Qingtian without even looking at them.
"Don't worry about them, take me to Bai Yu."
Shen Qingtian came to his senses and nodded.
"Follow me."
The two passed through the many buildings of the Holy Court. Shen Qingtian couldn't help but ask on the way.
"Did you get better at that punch just now?"
Gu Sheng is noncommittal.
"You don't need all your strength to deal with this kind of thing."
Shen Qingtian had a complicated look in his eyes and hesitated to speak.
"What?"
Gu Sheng glanced at her.
"Nothing."
Shen Qingtian shook his head.
"It's just that those two are Inner Court disciples after all, the masters behind them."
"It doesn't matter."
Gu Sheng interrupted her.
"I have my own sense of proportion."
Shen Qingtian said no more and led Gu Sheng to an elegant courtyard.
"This is my place."
Shen Qingtian explained.
"You wait here for a moment, I'll have someone contact Senior Sister Bai Yu."
Gu Sheng nodded and sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard.
Shen Qingtian called a maid, whispered a few instructions, and the maid left in a hurry.
After a while, the maid returned and said respectfully.
"Senior Sister Shen, Senior Sister Bai Yu told Mr. Gu to go directly. She also said that in the future, Mr. Gu does not need to notify you when he comes, and can be invited in directly."
Shen Qingtian looked at Gu Sheng with surprise in his eyes.
"It seems that Senior Sister Bai Yu values you very much."
Gu Sheng stood up.
"Lead the way."
The two walked through several corridors and came to a quiet courtyard called "Luomei Xiaozhu".
The courtyard door is ajar, and you can vaguely see the plum blossoms blooming in the courtyard, with a fragrant fragrance.
"Go in by yourself."
Shen Qingtian stopped.
"I still have things to take care of."
Gu Sheng glanced at her.
"If those two Inner Court disciples come to cause trouble, just report my name."
Shen Qingtian The corner of his mouth raised slightly.
"What, are you worried about me?"
Gu Sheng didn't answer, turned around and pushed the door open.
In the courtyard, Bai Yu was sitting at a stone table under an old plum tree, with a tea set in front of him.
Seeing Gu Sheng come in, she raised her head and smiled.
"I knew you would come back."
Gu Sheng walked directly to the opposite side of her and sat down.
"You knew I was coming?"
Bai Yu poured him a cup of tea.
"Great Desolation City is not peaceful recently. With your personality, you won't stay here for long."
Gu Sheng picked up the tea cup and drank it in one gulp.
"I changed my mind."
Bai Yu had joy in his eyes.
"Are you willing to accept my commission?"
"Yeah."
Gu Sheng Put down the tea cup.
"It just so happens that there are too many things going on recently, so it would be nice to go out and relax."
Bai Yu's expression became solemn.
"This mission is not easy."
She took out a jade slip from her sleeve and pushed it in front of Gu Sheng.
"All the clues are recorded here."
Gu Sheng picked up the jade slip, glanced at it with his consciousness, and frowned slightly.
"Zong realm? King realm?"
"At least."
Bai Yu nodded.
"The other party has a lot of background, so you have to be more careful."
Gu Sheng put away the jade slip and suddenly stretched out his hand.
"Glass Heart."
Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"You're really rude."
She took out a delicate sachet from the storage ring.
"This is Glass Heart, but"
She looked serious.
"Before you start refining, don't open the sachet easily. There is a special magic circle in the sachet to keep the medicinal properties."
Gu Sheng walked slowly out of Bai Yu's Luomei Xiaozhu, and the stinging pain from his legs made him frown slightly.
Although his flesh and blood had recovered by 20%, the cost of Northern Star Flower's sacrifice was far more serious than he imagined.
Every step was like stepping on the tip of a knife, and the pain of tearing flesh and blood constantly reminded him. This kind of loss cannot be restored through any treasures of heaven and earth, and can only rely on its own vitality to slowly regenerate.
"Glass Heart"
Gu Sheng looked down at the crystal emitting colorful light in his palm, with determination in his eyes.
"With the addition of Golden Body Pill, it should be enough for me to break through to the Golden Body Realm."
He raised his head and looked into the distance. Shen Qingtian's Villa looked particularly peaceful under the setting sun.
However, when he got closer, he found that the atmosphere was extremely tense.
"Gu Sheng!"
Shen Qingtian's voice directly sounded in his mind through sound transmission into the secret.
"Don't come here, there's trouble here."
Gu Sheng paused, looking through the gap in the courtyard door, and saw Qin Yurou and Gu Ningshuang standing back to back. Opposite them was a young man wearing a luxurious purple robe, followed by more than a dozen aggressive Holy Court disciples.
The young man was pointing his finger at the tip of Shen Qingtian's nose with a contemptuous smile on his face.
"What's going on?"
Gu Sheng also responded via voice transmission.
Shen Qingtian's eyes were solemn and his lips moved slightly.
"Shen Qingyun's backer, Chu Linfeng, a true disciple of the Holy Academy, is at the fourth level of the sect. He came to settle accounts with you."
Gu Sheng A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he pushed open the courtyard door without hesitation.
The wooden door made a "squeak" sound, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Gu Sheng!"
Qin Yurou exclaimed, his eyes full of worry.
Chu Linfeng turned around, looked Gu Sheng up and down, his eyes stayed on his incomplete legs for a moment, and sneered.
"Is this the cripple who dared to touch my man?"
Gu Sheng ignored his taunt, walked slowly to Shen Qingtian, and asked in a low voice.
"Are you guys okay?"
Shen Qingtian shook his head.
"He just arrived not long ago and hasn't had time to do anything yet."
Chu Linfeng saw Gu Sheng ignoring him, with anger in his eyes.
"I'm talking to you, loser!"
Gu Sheng then raised his eyes to look at him and asked calmly.
"Are you the person behind Shen Qingyun?"
"Not bad."
Chu Linfeng raised his chin.
"You injured my man, how should this account be settled?"
"How do you want to calculate it?"
Gu Sheng asked back, no emotion could be heard in his tone.
Chu Linfeng sneered and raised two fingers.
"Two choices. First, kneel down and kowtow to admit your mistake and destroy your meridians; second, fight me and decide whether you live or die."
There was sudden silence in the courtyard, and even the wind seemed to have stopped blowing.
Qin Yurou nervously grabbed Gu Ningshuang's arm, while the latter stared at Chu Linfeng, his hand already pressed on the hilt of the sword.
Gu Sheng suddenly laughed.
"Then let's fight."
Three simple words, but Chu Linfeng's expression changed.
He didn't expect that a man who looked half disabled would dare to accept the challenge so simply.
"Okay! Very good!"
Chu Linfeng was extremely angry but smiled.
"Since you are looking for death, then I will help you!"
At this moment, a majestic voice suddenly came from the sky, reverberating like thunder over the entire Great Desolation Sacred Academy.
"Accurate."
A simple word, but it contains so much pressure that it seems as if the laws of heaven and earth are trembling.
Shen Qingtian's complexion changed drastically and he exclaimed in a low voice.
"Academy Head Fan Mingli!"
Gu Sheng looked up at the direction from which the sound came, with surprise in his eyes, but he soon regained his composure.
"Gu Sheng, this is the contemporary Academy Head"
Shen Qingtian said eagerly.
"I know."
Gu Sheng interrupted her, her voice not too loud or too quiet, just enough for everyone to hear.
"But Mr. Academy Head has a lot of things to do every day, so he probably won't personally take action against a little person like me."
Chu Linfeng heard this, with fear in his eyes, but soon returned to arrogance.
"You have some knowledge. Master Academy Head only allowed our duel, as for you"
He smiled contemptuously.
"It's not worthy for Academy Head to personally intervene."
Gu Sheng was noncommittal and just asked.
"Where to fight?"
"Martial Arts Stage."
Chu Linfeng turned around and walked out.
"I'll wait for you there, don't make me wait too long, otherwise."
He gave the Shen Qingtian trio a meaningful look.
"Something might happen to your friends."
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with cold light, but quickly disappeared.
"Lead the way."
Chu Linfeng snorted coldly and strode away with more than a dozen of his confidants.
Suddenly only Gu Sheng and three women were left in the courtyard.
"Are you crazy?"
Shen Qingtian grabbed Gu Sheng's arm.
"That's the fourth level of the sect! Your legs haven't recovered yet, how can you be his opponent?"
Qin Yurou also said eagerly.
"Gu Sheng, we can go to the elders to mediate, there is no need."
"It's useless."
Gu Sheng shook his head slightly.
"Academy Head has already given his permission, so there is no room for change."
Gu Ningshuang pulled out the long sword.
"I'll go with you."
Gu Sheng Hold her wrist and push the sword back into its sheath.
"This is a matter between him and me, please don't interfere."
He looked at the worried eyes of the three women and smiled reassuringly.
"Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion."
Shen Qingtian bit his lip.
"At least let me accompany you there."
Gu Sheng thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
The four of them walked in the direction of Martial Arts Stage together, attracting the attention and whispers of countless disciples of the Holy Academy along the way.
"Have you heard? The new Gu Sheng is going to challenge Senior Brother Chu!"
"It's not a challenge, it's Senior Brother Chu who wants to teach him a lesson!"
"It is said that Lord Academy Head is paying attention to this duel."
"Then Gu Sheng is dead."
The sound of discussion continued to reach his ears, but Gu Sheng seemed not to hear it, just focusing on feeling the condition of his legs.
His flesh and blood has recovered by 20%, and he can barely sustain the battle, but it certainly won't last for a long time.
Must be resolved quickly
Martial Arts Stage soon appeared in view.
This is a circular stone platform about thirty feet in diameter, three feet above the ground, with ancient runes carved all around.
Chu Linfeng was already standing in the center of the stage, surrounded by hundreds of disciples from the Holy Academy who came to watch the excitement.
"Coming, coming!"
"Look at that lame man. He can't even walk unsteadily. Still want to challenge Senior Brother Chu?"
"I heard that he offended Master Academy Head."
The jeers came one after another, but Gu Sheng remained calm and walked slowly towards Martial Arts Stage with the support of Shen Qingtian.
Just when he was about to take the stage, two Dao Body figures suddenly fell from the sky, standing lightly on the stone pillars on both sides of Martial Arts Stage.
They were two old men with white beards and hair. One was wearing a black robe and the other was wearing a white robe. Their breath was as deep as the sea.
"Supervising Elder Ye Qianqiu!"
"Law Transmission Elder Bai Wanchen!"
"Oh my god, two elders appeared at the same time!"
The crowd erupted in exclamations.
The black-robed old man Ye Qianqiu looked around with a loud voice.
"According to the order of Academy Head, the two of us are here to arbitrate this battle."
The white-robed old man Bai Wanchen answered.
"This battle is a life and death battle. It will not end unless one party falls or kneels down and begs for mercy."
He looked at Chu Linfeng on the stage and Gu Sheng off the stage.
"Do both parties have any objections?"
"No problem."
The corner of Luo Gan's mouth curled up with contempt. As a true disciple of the Great Desolation Sacred Academy, his cultivation at the fourth level of the sect made him a rare opponent among his peers.
He moved his wrist casually, his knuckles making crisp cracks, and he looked down at Gu Sheng opposite him.
"Heavenly Martial Realm is only at the first level, but you dare to be so presumptuous in front of me?"
Luo Gan sneered.
"Within three moves, I will make you kneel down and beg for mercy!"
Gu Sheng looked indifferent, but his eyes first glanced at the two king realm elders standing at the edge of Martial Arts Stage.
Law Transmission Elder Bai Wanchen is dressed in white and has an elegant face, but the pressure faintly exuding from his body is as deep as the sea; Supervising Elder Ye Qianqiu has a cold face and eyes like lightning, as if he can penetrate all illusions.
"The existence approaching Heavenly King Realm."
Gu Sheng felt a little shuddered, but quickly looked back and looked at the arrogant Luo Gan opposite.
"It's no problem for me, I can start at any time."
Gu Sheng said calmly.
The two elders looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Ordinary Heavenly Martial Realm monks would be trembling in front of them, but this Gu Sheng not only dared to look directly at them, but there was also scrutiny in his eyes?
"Interesting."
Bai Wanchen stroked his long beard gently and sent a message to Ye Qianqiu.
"This boy is not simple."
Ye Qianqiu nodded slightly and then said loudly.
"The competition begins! Remember, until the point is reached, no one's life will be hurt!"
After the words fell, the figures of the two elders gradually faded away, but Gu Sheng could clearly feel that two powerful qi machines were still locked on himself and Luo Gan.
At the same time, invisible barriers of true energy rose around Martial Arts Stage, isolating the inside and outside.
"Boy, remember who destroyed you!"
Luo Gan laughed ferociously, his body suddenly rose up, and he rushed towards Gu Sheng like a tiger pouncing on food. The five fingers of his right hand formed claws, and the sharp Qi condensed on the fingertips, and he rushed towards Gu Sheng's face!
