Her eyes suddenly became as cold as ice!
A vague, but extremely cold and obscure aura slowly spread from her body!
She looked at Gu Sheng, her voice was no longer pleasant, only cold murderous intent remained.
"Gu Sheng... You are looking for death!"
Inside Luomei Xiaozhu, the atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point!
Xia Furong's eyes are full of murderous intent, and his cold and obscure aura is like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, firmly locking Gu Sheng!
Bai Yu is even more like facing a formidable enemy, the pure Leng Yue beauty is flowing all over his body, and his jade hand has been pressed on the hilt of the sword at his waist!
True Disciple Ranking The third Xia Furong is actually a secret planted by Styx?!
This news is too shocking!
Just when the situation was tense and about to break out, the cold murderous intent in Xia Furong's eyes quickly receded, replaced by a... complex and difficult-to-understand emotion, including fear, calculation, and even... sympathy?
She suddenly smiled, her smile was like the melting ice and snow, but it was filled with a heart-stopping weirdness.
"Junior Brother Gu, you have such keen perception and sharp tongue. Fu Rui... I admire you."
She slowly calmed down her cold aura, her eyes swept over the vigilant Bai Yu, and finally landed on Gu Sheng. Her voice returned to its previous ethereal and melodious tone, but it had an indescribable depth to it.
"However, you were half right and half wrong. It is true that I have an old relationship with the Boundless Sect, and it is true that... I can't help myself. But spying on elder Bai Yu? Waiting for an opportunity? Ha..."
She chuckled lightly, mocking herself.
"My goal has never been her."
She paused, her eyes became sharp, and she looked directly at Gu Sheng.
"My target is Xiao Beixuan! That lunatic, relying on Styx's favor, acted unscrupulously, and has long been the target of public criticism! I am lurking in the Holy Court, not just to work for Styx, but also to... look for opportunities to get rid of him!"
Gu Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not relax his vigilance due to her words.
"Kill Xiao Beixuan? Why?"
"Why?"
Xia Furong had a deep-seated hatred in his eyes.
"Because he deserves to die! He took away what should belong to me! And because he... blocked my way! Old Ghost Styx doesn't need two 'young masters'!"
Her words revealed strong ambition and murderous intent.
"Gu Sheng, you ruined his Hall of a Thousand Souls plan, cut off his biggest support, and caused him heavy losses and loss of face! You and him are already fighting to the death! And the same is true for me and him! The enemy of my enemy is my friend. How about you and I joining forces to kill this beast together?"
Join forces? Gu Sheng looked at the woman with deep thoughts and treacherous attitude in front of him, and thoughts were racing in his mind.
In the case of Xia Furong, it is difficult to tell whether it is true or false.
Her hatred and ambition for Xiao Beixuan may be true, but her purpose is by no means as simple as getting rid of Xiao Beixuan.
There must be a deeper conspiracy behind her.
However, right now, she is indeed a force that can be utilized.
"Join forces?"
Gu Sheng's voice is calm.
"Yes. But, how to join forces? Xiao Beixuan is like a frightened bird at the moment, and he must be hiding deep. How do you find him?"
"Looking for him?"
Xia Furong had a sneer on his lips.
"Why go looking for it? Although he is defeated, he will never give in! He will definitely take revenge! And the first target of revenge is you Gu Sheng! And... his wings that were cut off by us also need to be replanted.
He cannot live without Great Desolation City, the center of the whirlpool! And I happen to know several secret strongholds he has operated in Great Desolation City for many years, as well as... several hidden lines he planted inside the Holy Court!"
There was a calculating light in her eyes.
"Give me a month. Within a month, I will use all my strength to cut off his wings in Great Desolation City, pull out his eyeliner, and force him to show up! Let him... have no way to escape!"
"A month?"
Gu Sheng shook his head slightly.
"It's too slow. Moreover, if you force him to show up, he will jump over the wall and do whatever it takes. Even if you and I work together, we may not be sure of victory."
"What do you mean?"
Xia Furong raised his eyebrows.
"Within a month, all you need to do is contain him so that he has no time to care about others and cannot attack the people around me."
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed coldly.
"As for killing him... I have my own place to go."
"Where to go?"
Xia Furong and Bai Yu both looked puzzled.
"Great Desolation Sacred Academy, life and death challenge."
Gu Sheng's voice was cold and determined.
"Xiao Beixuan, he will definitely accept the challenge."
"Life and death challenge?!"
Xia Furong's pupils shrank, and then he suddenly realized, with admiration and... fear on his face.
"What a plan! What a courage! You want to kill him in full view of the public, in a life-and-death contest, openly and honestly! The old ghost from Styx behind him will be speechless!
It makes him... unable to use those shady evil cultivators' magical powers! Because once exposed, he will die from the Holy Court and Eastern Wasteland!"
She looked at Gu Sheng with complicated eyes.
"Gu Sheng, you are indeed ruthless! Absolute! Xiao Beixuan That lunatic was forced into a life-and-death challenge by you, and he didn't dare not accept it! If he did, he would be dead!
Okay! I promise you! Within a month, I will make him so exhausted that he will have no time to care! A month later, when it comes to life and death, I am waiting to see his head fall to the ground!"
She agreed so simply, and she obviously believed that this was the best way to get rid of Xiao Beixuan. She could not only borrow Gu Sheng's hand, but also get rid of herself.
After the cooperation intention was reached, Gu Sheng ignored Xia Furong and turned to look at Bai Yu who had a complicated look on the side.
"Elder Bai, about senior Spirit Emperor Ye Qinglan..."
Bai Yu suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said in a deep voice.
"Senior Spirit Emperor... it is true that he stayed with Great Desolation City to guard something. This matter is one of the top secrets of the Holy Academy. I cannot elaborate on the specific reasons."
"To guard something..."
Gu Sheng's gaze was profound, as if penetrating the void.
"But... is it related to the ancient restriction? Is it related to the place where Nether River Venerable was suppressed?"
Bai Yu's face changed slightly, with shock in his eyes, and then he fell silent.
Her silence was undoubtedly a kind of acquiescence.
Gu Sheng understands clearly.
He flipped his wrist, and a strange star-like seed that exuded a faint Spirit Light appeared in his palm. It was the Northern Star Flower seed!
As soon as this thing came out, an ancient and mysterious atmosphere quietly filled the air.
Bai Yu and Xia Furong's eyes were instantly attracted! Bai Yu's eyes burst out with incredible light.
"This is...?!"
"It seems that Elder Bai recognizes this object."
Gu Sheng put away the seeds and spoke calmly.
"I have roughly guessed what senior Spirit Emperor is guarding. Don't worry, I have no desire to covet that thing. It's just... if something happens to that thing, I'm afraid the entire Eastern Wasteland will not be at peace."
Bai Yu looked at Gu Sheng with extremely complicated eyes.
She didn't expect that Gu Sheng was not only incredibly powerful and thoughtful, but he even knew a thing or two about these core secrets!
How many secrets are hidden in him?
At this moment, Xia Furong, who had been watching, suddenly chuckled, breaking the solemn atmosphere.
"Junior Brother Gu, now that the cooperation has been reached, there is a little thing here in Fuu that may interest you."
Gu Sheng looked at her.
Xia Furong's eyes moved with amusement.
"It's about... your new apprentice, Gu Yuanyuan."
Gu Sheng's eyes suddenly condensed!
Inside Luomei Xiaozhu, the atmosphere is subtle.
Xia Furong proposed to join forces to kill Xiao Beixuan, Gu Sheng agreed and decided on a life and death strategy.
Elder Bai Yu was silent because Spirit Emperor was secretive.
In this brief silence, Xia Furong changed the topic and his eyes fell on Gu Sheng, with a deep meaning that was difficult to detect.
"Junior Brother Gu, now that the cooperation has been reached, there is a small matter here in Fuu that may interest you."
Her voice was ethereal, but it was like pebbles thrown into a calm lake.
Gu Sheng looked at her with slightly focused eyes.
"What's the matter?"
"It's about... your friend, Situ Qingfeng."
Xia Furong opened her red lips slightly and spat out the name.
Gu Sheng The pupils suddenly contracted! Situ Qingfeng!
How could he fall into Xia Furong's sight?! An icy chill instantly rose from the bottom of his heart!
"What did you do to him?"
Gu Sheng's voice became deeper, with undisguised murderous intent.
Xia Furong seemed very satisfied with Gu Sheng's reaction and chuckled.
"Junior Brother Gu, why should you be angry? I didn't do anything to him. I just... learned by chance that he is now trapped in a secret realm controlled by the Boundless Sect.
Deep in the secret realm, there is an extremely powerful ancient restriction that traps him inside, making him unable to advance or retreat."
She paused, observed Gu Sheng's expression, and continued.
"The restriction is quite difficult. If he breaks it forcefully, his life may be hurt. However... I happen to know Dao Yi relatively safe paths, and I also know several weak points of the restriction.
If I personally take someone there, I am 70% sure that I can bring him out safe and sound."
"Conditions."
Gu Sheng has a cold voice and no nonsense. Xia Furong will never help without any reason.
"Junior brother Gu is really happy."
Xia Furong smiled, like ice and snow melting for the first time.
"The conditions are very simple. I need you to help me refine an elixir. The sixth-grade elixir - Nine-Colored Miasma-Breaking Pill. I have prepared the main elixir, and I only need an alchemy master who can refine this elixir to take action."
"Nine-Colored Miasma-Breaking Pill?"
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed.
This elixir is a top-notch elixir that is specially designed to restrain all kinds of strange poisons and miasmas deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Southern Xinjiang. It is extremely rare.
Xia Furong wants this pill...
"Are you going to southern Xinjiang?"
"Not bad."
Xia Furong admitted it frankly.
"There is something I need deep in the southern border. This elixir is a must-have for my trip. Junior Brother Gu has extraordinary attainments in alchemy. Refining this elixir should not be difficult for you. Refining this elixir shows my sincerity in saving people this time. How about it?"
She regarded saving people as "sincerity" rather than a direct transaction, and her attitude was quite low. She obviously wanted to further consolidate this fragile cooperative relationship.
Gu Sheng Thoughts were racing in his mind.
Situ Qingfeng is trapped, and it is difficult to tell whether the news is true or false. But since Xia Furong dares to use this as a bargaining chip, he must have something to rely on.
Nine-Colored Miasma-Breaking Pill Although it is a sixth-grade elixir that is extremely difficult to refine, it is indeed not impossible for him to complete it.
Xia Furong is going to Southern Xinjiang... Deep in Southern Xinjiang, adjacent to the core area of the divine religion... Her goal is probably not simple!
"Elixir, main medicine."
Gu Sheng Succinct and comprehensive.
There was joy in Xia Furong's eyes, and he turned his wrist, and a jade slip and Jade Box appeared in his palm.
She threw the jade slip and Jade Box to Gu Sheng.
"Here is the elixir. The main medicine 'Nine-Colored Miasma Heart Lotus' is also provided. The rest of the auxiliary medicines must be Linlang Pavilion."
Gu Sheng took the jade slip, scanned it with his consciousness, and confirmed that the prescription for the elixir was correct.
Opening Jade Box again, a smell mixed with a strange fragrance and a faint fishy smell filled the air. Lying quietly in the box was a strange Spiritual Plant with nine kinds of blurred halos flowing through its body and shaped like a lotus. It is the core ingredient for refining Nine-Colored Miasma-Breaking Pill - Nine-Colored Miasma Heart Lotus!
This thing only grows in the depths of the most dangerous Jedi in southern Xinjiang. It is extremely hard to find and priceless!
"Okay."
Gu Sheng put away the jade slips and Jade Box.
"When will we save people?"
"It's better to save people sooner rather than later."
Xia Furong Road.
"Early tomorrow morning, I will take people to that secret place. But..."
She changed the topic with a sly look in her eyes.
"To refine this elixir, in addition to the main ingredients and auxiliary ingredients, Junior Brother Gu also needs to use his own True Essence as a guide to incorporate the true meaning of 'Evil-Breaking'.
Is this... an additional condition?"
Gu Sheng looked at her.
"If there are any other conditions, please tell me."
Xia Furong smiled brightly, like a blooming hibiscus.
"Junior Brother Gu, don't worry, Fu Rui is not a greedy person. Refining this elixir is your reward for saving me from trouble (referring to Situ Qingfeng). As for this extra 'introduction'... How about I discuss another deal with Junior Brother Gu in detail after I return safely from southern Xinjiang?"
She is laying the groundwork for possible future cooperation.
"Okay."
Gu Sheng should be downloaded.
"After the elixir is completed, how will it be delivered?"
"The elixir will be ready within three days."
Xia Furong Road.
"Tomorrow I will rescue Situ Qingfeng and place him in a safe place. When your elixir is ready, I will send someone to get it and inform you of the whereabouts of Situ Qingfeng."
"When is tomorrow? Where?"
Gu Sheng asked.
"Tomorrow at 11:00, in front of the Linlang Pavilion's door."
Xia Furong Road.
"I will wait for you there. Let's go to the secret realm together."
"Okay."
Gu Sheng nodded and said no more.
He turned to Elder Bai Yu, nodded slightly, then turned around and strode away from Luomei Xiaozhu. Ying followed silently.
Looking at Gu Sheng's leaving figure, the smile on Xia Furong's face slowly faded, with a complicated and difficult-to-understand light in his eyes.
Elder Bai Yu looked solemnly and looked at Xia Furong, but hesitated to speak.
After leaving Luomei Xiaozhu, Gu Sheng did not return to the Linlang Pavilion immediately.
He was walking on the quiet path of the sanctuary, seemingly casually, but his spiritual consciousness was like an invisible spider web, quietly covering the surrounding area of 100 feet.
Sure enough, as soon as he walked not far away, he noticed an extremely weak but malicious aura lingering far behind him.
The opponent's concealment skills are quite good, and his aura is erratic. He is obviously an expert in tracking. Moreover, there is more than one person!
"People from Xiao Beixuan? Or... other forces?"
Gu Sheng sneered in his heart.
He kept walking, as if he didn't notice it, and continued walking in the direction of the teleportation array.
The stalker in the dark seemed to be extremely afraid of the shadow behind Gu Sheng, always keeping a considerable distance and not daring to get too close.
Ying's silent king-level aura was like an invisible warning, preventing them from acting rashly.
Gu Sheng was thinking about Xia Furong's proposal.
Saving Situ Qingfeng is a top priority, and the refining of Nine-Colored Miasma-Breaking Pill is also planned.
