Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 984: Chapter 516: The News Spread by the Goblin

Seeing the hundreds of silver needles in his hand, Huang Shan was quite surprised.

”Brother Sheng, this is...”

”My silver needles are far more poisonous than yours.”

After Gu Sheng spoke, Huang Shan immediately understood his meaning.

”Thank you, Brother Sheng.”

After speaking, his wrist moved quickly, causing the hundreds of silver needles to move along with his motion.

Not long after, wisps of green smoke began to rise from the silver needles.

With a flick of his wrist, Huang Shan sent the hundreds of silver needles flying straight at the man.

In just an instant, the hundred silver needles had all penetrated his body!

”Ahhhh!”

A shrill scream rang out as the man desperately slapped around his body, unable to force out a single silver needle!

Seeing this, Huang Shan coldly curled his lips and struck directly at his most painful acupuncture point!

In an instant, the scream abruptly stopped, and the man fainted from the pain!

Seeing the man pass out, Shi Lou frowned.

”Fainting so quickly, isn’t that too easy on him?”

Upon hearing this, Huang Shan chuckled.

”Don’t worry, I’ll make sure he wakes in the most painful way possible.”

After speaking, he crouched beside the man, his fingertips moving rapidly.

Just as he said, in a brief moment, the man woke up in the most painful manner!

At the moment he opened his eyes, he felt as if he had returned to Hell.

After barely enduring for a few minutes, he began to plead incessantly.

Huang Shan turned to look at Gu Sheng, seeking his advice.

Gu Sheng said nothing, so he continued to torture the man.

It wasn’t until the man was down to his last breath that Gu Sheng finally spoke: ”Retrieve the needles.”

Huang Shan stood up, reaching out with his fingertips, and the hundred silver needles fell back into his palm.

Gu Sheng made a gesture, and his silver needles obediently flew back.

”Speak, where did your Purple Mist Peak get the information?”

This time, the man dared not hide anything, shivering as he spoke: ”It... it was information spread by a goblin...”

Hearing this, Gu Sheng’s face grew somewhat grim.

”A goblin?”

”Yes, a goblin, who claimed to have met you on Yin God Mountain. After sensing the aura of Yinchen Wood on you, he personally made a trip, confirmed that the Yinchen Wood was in your possession, and then followed your trail all the way to Stone Village and spread the news.”

”Besides your Purple Mist Peak, who else knows about this?”

”Now... I’m afraid the entire Jianghu knows...”

Gu Sheng flicked his fingers, and the look in his eyes grew even more somber.

”You followed the goblin’s information; if you get the Yinchen Wood, what benefits are you to offer him?”

”Anyone who obtains the Yinchen Wood through this information must offer a High-level Spirit Stone as thanks.”

”No wonder...”

After pondering for a moment, Gu Sheng’s sharp gaze fell on his face.

”Where is the goblin?”

Upon hearing the question, the man slightly turned his head.

Sensing his resistance, Gu Sheng called Huang Shan over again.

Seeing Huang Shan, the man finally panicked.

”No, don’t take action, I’ll talk! The goblin’s lair is on the edge of Bitter Mountain, a few dozen miles away, and he’s been stationed there for decades. If you carefully sense, you will definitely detect his presence!”

After speaking, he immediately looked pleading.

”When you go to find that goblin, can you not expose me? Otherwise, if Purple Mist Peak sees me as an ungrateful person, the Peak Master will not spare me...”

Hearing this, Gu Sheng coldly curled his lips.

”How can a dead person be ungrateful? Rest assured, your Peak Master won’t blame a dead man.”

After speaking, Gu Sheng turned his head and glanced at Huang Shan.

Understanding his meaning, Huang Shan immediately stepped forward and took the man’s life.

After dealing with this man, Gu Sheng looked at the other Purple Mist Peak members and said coldly, ”Weren’t you planning to offer lives to the Yinchen Wood? Now it’s time to fulfill your promise.”

As soon as these words came out, the members of Purple Mist Peak trembled in fear.

They exchanged glances and then knelt before Gu Sheng with a thud.

”Spare us, we know we were wrong. We will never dare to covet the Yinchen Wood again. We are willing to cripple our right hands; please spare our lives!”

However, Gu Sheng remained unmoved by their pleas.

Because in his eyes, these people were already dead.

Shi Lou and Er Gou understood the look in his eyes and immediately led the others to kill all the members of Purple Mist Peak.

As wispy souls floated in midair, Gu Sheng raised a hand, grasped the souls, and pressed hard, using these fresh souls to offer to the Yinchen Wood.

”Shi Lou, clean this place up; our Stone Village must not be tainted by their filthy corpses.”

Understanding his meaning, Shi Lou quickly complied.

A whole two hours later, Stone Village was finally clean again.

”Brother Sheng, everything’s been taken care of.”

After glancing around, Gu Sheng nodded.

”You all should go rest first.”

After he finished speaking, nobody moved.

”Gu Sheng, since the news of Yinchen Wood at Stone Village was leaked, besides Purple Mist Peak, there are likely many others coveting the Yinchen Wood. What should we do?”

An elder asked everyone’s mind, and they all looked at Gu Sheng, full of concern.

Gu Sheng initially desired to let them rest for the night and discuss this tomorrow, but since the question was raised, it seemed unavoidable now.

After thinking carefully, he said, ”They may steal the Yinchen Wood, but they cannot take away the Stone Village made from it. To protect the Yinchen Wood, we must accelerate the reconstruction of Stone Village. By then, not only will their plans fail, but the Stone Village made from Yinchen Wood will also protect us.”

”But the news is out, and since Purple Mist Peak has arrived here, other sects are surely on their way too. Can we speed up in time?”
