Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 318: Chapter 180: The Miserable Wu Xinyu

Ever since Gu Sheng transmigrated to this world, he had always been alone. The only ones who truly cared about him were Gu Erniu’s family. Now, Lin Miaomiao’s actions felt like a warm stream flowing through his heart.

Gu Sheng couldn’t help but laugh as he looked at Lin Miaomiao’s sorrowful expression.

”You still have the mood to laugh! This is a really serious matter! Take this money and run away quickly! You’re just a miscellaneous disciple in the Sect; no one will suspect that you killed Wu Xinyu. Da Liang is vast, and with your talent, you can equally achieve great things elsewhere!”

Gu Sheng chuckled, ”But Wu Xinyu is dead after all. So who’s going to take the blame for this? You? Or them?”

Lin Miaomiao fell silent for a moment before speaking, ”None of us can escape responsibility for something like this. We have families to worry about. You’re different—you have no attachments, so just focus on escaping.”

Gu Sheng walked over to Wu Xinyu, lifted him up, and threw him next to Lin Miaomiao, saying, ”Senior Sister, there’s no need to fret so much. I didn’t kill him. If you don’t believe me, go ahead and check. He still has a pulse.”

Lin Miaomiao quickly reached out to check, and after confirming Wu Xinyu’s pulse, she let out a long sigh of relief. She glared at Gu Sheng with anger and said, ”You bastard! You did this on purpose to watch me make a fool of myself, didn’t you?”

Gu Sheng put on an innocent expression, ”What are you talking about? I never said I killed him!”

Lin Miaomiao was about to retort further but ended up pulling at her wound as she moved too vigorously. Her brows furrowed, and she winced in pain.

”Alright, alright! Let’s deal with your injuries first! After all, this isn’t exactly a safe place. Once we’re done treating your wounds, we should leave here quickly. If another squad like theirs shows up, I won’t be able to handle it again.”

Lin Miaomiao understood the urgency. Given their current state, they were clearly unfit for battle, so she focused on tending to her injuries.

Fortunately, the group had come well-prepared this time, with plenty of healing powders and medicinal pills to spare.

Martial Artists were far more resilient than ordinary people. With the aid of medicine, Lin Miaomiao and the others soon stabilized their injuries rather quickly.

Within a quarter of an hour, Lin Miaomiao, Huang Miaoyin, and Dyson had regained some mobility. Mo Buwen’s injuries were more severe; while he could now speak, it was unlikely he’d be able to walk for another ten days to two weeks.

Gu Sheng wasn’t injured at all. He took the initiative to find several vines, tie Mo Buwen to his back, hold onto Lin Miaomiao with one hand, and sling Wu Xinyu over his shoulder with the other.

Once they had ventured far enough away from the Thousand Poison Sect’s territory, Gu Sheng and the group found a relatively secluded cave to rest for a while.

Taking advantage of the break, Gu Sheng dragged Wu Xinyu outside the cave and stripped him completely. It wasn’t because Gu Sheng had any peculiar hobbies, but rather because Wu Xinyu had a special status. He might be hiding something valuable on him. To avoid missing anything, Gu Sheng had no choice but to strip him bare.

The Red Cloud Mountain Range was naturally chilly, and when the wind blew, it added to the coldness of the atmosphere. Wu Xinyu, who was still unconscious, groggily awoke at this time. Upon lowering his head, he discovered he was stark naked, wearing only his underclothes, while Gu Sheng was still meticulously rifling through his garments. A terrifying thought instantly popped into Wu Xinyu’s mind!

His face immediately flushed with shame and indignation, ”You’re a beast! You don’t even spare men!”

Gu Sheng looked at Wu Xinyu with disdain, ”Do you really think I’m that perverted? I’m just checking if you’re hiding any treasures. Now that you’re awake, you can save me some trouble—dress yourself.”

Gu Sheng tossed the stripped-clean clothes back to Wu Xinyu as he spoke.

Wu Xinyu’s expression darkened upon hearing this. His father had given him quite a few valuable items! Among them, the Soul-snatching Arrow was a Yellow Level Low Grade Treasure!

”You can have the rest, but please return my crossbow and that arrow to me! These two items were left to me by my mother before she passed away—they hold great significance to me.”

Wu Xinyu knew Gu Sheng didn’t respond well to threats and could only lower his tone to play on emotions.

Wu Xinyu’s crossbow was exceptionally exquisite, even if it wasn’t at the level of a Treasure. It seemed comparable to the Shattering Star Crossbow, making it considerably valuable.

As for the arrow, even simply holding it made Gu Sheng feel a chilling sensation deep within his soul. Clearly, this arrow wasn’t ordinary!

Gu Sheng’s lips curved slightly upward as he fiddled with the Soul-snatching Arrow, saying, ”The craftsmanship of this arrow is remarkable. The power it contains is terrifying—this must be a Treasure, right?”

Wu Xinyu’s face became even more unsightly upon hearing this. He shook his head and said, ”No, this arrow’s unique composition comes only from the forging materials. It’s not actually anything extraordinary. If it weren’t for the fact that it was left to me by my mother, I wouldn’t mind giving it to you. It’s just something that reminds me of her, so please return it to me.”

From Wu Xinyu’s expression, Gu Sheng had already guessed that this arrow was indeed a Treasure! As for its specific grade, Gu Sheng wasn’t particularly concerned. Even if it was merely Yellow Level Low Grade, it was still a powerful trump card for his current cultivation level!

As for whether Wu Xinyu’s claims were true? Gu Sheng had no interest in verifying them. He wasn’t some benevolent Holy Mother. Wu Xinyu had tried to kill them—Gu Sheng refraining from ending him was already more than considerate. Asking to reclaim the Soul-snatching Arrow? Pure wishful thinking!

Gu Sheng stowed the Soul-snatching Arrow and the small crossbow away, then grinned at Wu Xinyu, ”Hurry up and put your clothes on, or I’ll toss you back into the cave!”

Seeing Gu Sheng put away the Soul-snatching Arrow, Wu Xinyu dared not say anything further. He merely cast a resentful glance at Gu Sheng before silently dressing himself.
