Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 720: Chapter 384 Perfect Holy Artifact

”This is the Demon Emperor’s Blood Essence you requested.”

The white-haired woman softly said, handing the amber to Wu Dewang.

Wu Dewang received the amber, a gleam flashing in his eyes.

He could feel the intense fluctuations of power within the blood locked inside the amber—this was the treasure he had longed for.

”Excellent, this is precisely what I wanted.”

Wu Dewang said in a deep voice, his gaze lingering on the white-haired woman for a moment, as if contemplating something.

Gu Sheng stood to the side, his eyes moving back and forth between the amber and Wu Dewang, his thoughts stirring internally.

He knew that this drop of Demon Emperor’s Blood Essence was no ordinary item—it likely concealed immense secrets and power.

The white-haired woman turned her head and gave Gu Sheng a gentle smile: ”Young Master Gu, it seems you’re quite intrigued by this Demon Emperor’s Blood Essence too. However, such a treasure is not something just anyone can wield. You must use caution.”

Gu Sheng nodded; he could sense the concern in the white-haired woman’s words.

Wu Dewang, however, seemed indifferent to Gu Sheng’s reaction. He tucked the amber away into his robes and said to the white-haired woman, ”Now that the transaction is complete, I won’t linger any longer. Farewell.”

After speaking, Wu Dewang turned to leave.

Gu Sheng frowned deeply, stepping forward with a voice laced with coldness: ”Wu Dewang, what do you mean by this? You’ve dumped me here; don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”

Wu Dewang halted his steps, turning back to reveal a sinister smirk on his face.

”Brother Gu, the purpose of transactions in this world is mutual benefit; why insist on the details of the process? Leaving you here—ah, that’s for a great opportunity.”

Anger flickered in Gu Sheng’s eyes, but he immediately suppressed it.

In such circumstances, impulsivity would be futile.

What he needed to consider was how to leave this place.

The white-haired woman seemed to sense the subtle shift in the atmosphere. She gently coughed, breaking the tension.

”Taoist, since your deal is already concluded, why stir up further trouble? Young Master Gu, if you have any doubts, you are welcome to voice them openly.”

With a serene smile, the white-haired woman spoke softly but confidently.

”If someone must stay, then keep this old Taoist here as well!”

Gu Sheng exclaimed angrily, his brow furrowing, face filled with rage.

The white-haired woman listened and turned toward Wu Dewang: ”Taoist, if you wish to remain, you may stay too...”

But before the woman could finish her sentence, Wu Dewang interrupted her.

He shrugged, his manner carefree: ”This aging body of mine lacks the youthful vigor to enjoy any leisure. You all take your time; I won’t be a bother.”

After saying this, Wu Dewang ignored both Gu Sheng and the white-haired woman, striding swiftly out of the Peach Blossom Forest.

”Hey! Wu! Stop right there!”

Gu Sheng shouted.

But Wu Dewang acted as though he hadn’t heard, his figure disappearing in an instant.

Gu Sheng watched Wu Dewang’s departing silhouette, his heart awash with confusion and anger intertwining inside him.

Turning toward the white-haired woman, his eyes now filled with probing intent: ”Ladies, that Taoist fooled me into coming here. Would you be kind enough to let me go?”

”Young Master Gu, there’s no need to fret. We won’t harm you; quite the opposite, your treasure body is far too precious—we wouldn’t dare neglect you but instead aim to protect you to the utmost.”

The white-haired woman replied with a smile.

A few of the other women standing beside her nodded as well, affirming that they harbored no malice.

After speaking, the white-haired woman lightly waved her hand, and demonic energy surged instantly.

Soon, the peculiar array hidden within the Peach Blossom Forest dissipated, revealing a winding path before Gu Sheng’s eyes.

”Young Master Gu, I am Bai Yiyi. Don’t fear us—we truly hold no ill intentions.”

Her smile carried a hint of playful mischief.

However, Gu Sheng’s heart was quietly alert—could Bai Yiyi be a beast transformed from within this mountain?

He cautiously asked, ”Miss Bai Yiyi, I heard rumors that a heart flew out from the Demon Emperor’s tomb. Have you heard of such a thing?”

Bai Yiyi moved lightly, her gauzy attire gently fluttering in the breeze. Her smile was sweet, yet mysterious.

Her beauty was captivating enough to enrapture an ordinary person entirely.

”Your information is quite well-informed. Yes, the Demon Emperor’s heart is indeed here.”

Gu Sheng’s heart trembled; he eagerly asked, ”Does that mean an exceptional beauty resides in this place?”

Bai Yiyi’s eyes flickered with surprise: ”You know this much too? Indeed, she is the descendant of the Demon Emperor, of esteemed status. How do you know of her?”

Gu Sheng felt exhilarated but refrained from answering Bai Yiyi’s query. Instead, he pressed further: ”Then, is there another youth here near my age? Is he also present?”

Bai Yiyi’s astonishment deepened.

Her hair rippled lightly amidst the breeze, her jade-like skin accentuated in its softness. Around her, petals rained down with fragrant air, yet it was her beauty that eclipsed all else. She chuckled, saying: ”You truly know a lot.”

Though Bai Yiyi did not directly respond to Gu Sheng’s question, her words indirectly confirmed that the youth he mentioned was indeed here.

”Bai Fairy, I wish to meet that youth.”

Gu Sheng stated with firm resolve.

Bai Yiyi, despite her enchanting demeanor, decisively denied his request after hearing it: ”He is currently in secluded cultivation—it’s unlikely he can meet with you.”

Gu Sheng took a step back and pleaded: ”Then, I would like to meet the Demon Emperor’s descendant.”

Bai Yiyi nodded with a smile: ”That can be arranged. In fact, we planned to bring you to her all along.”

”What? You planned to bring me to her from the start?”

Gu Sheng felt a wave of unease. ”Why?”

”Young Master Gu,” Bai Yiyi said, ”if you are fortunate enough to be chosen by the Demon Emperor’s descendant, it will bring incomparable glory and power upon you.”
