Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1000: Chapter 524: Successfully Entering South Mountain

When the sky was completely dark, the Sect Leader of the Heisha Sect punched a tree in anger.

”Damn Gu Sheng, where the hell has he hidden himself!”

After infusing Divine Power, he and members of the Heisha Sect had been searching all afternoon. Everyone else was seen, except for the people of Stone Village!

The anger suppressed all afternoon exploded at this moment. Right now, he wished he could peel Gu Sheng’s skin!

Seeing him like this, one of his subordinates braced himself and stepped forward to say, ”Sect Leader, we’ve searched all around the foot of South Mountain and didn’t see him. Do you think he might have fled?”

”Impossible! He has the Elf Clan backing him; how could he flee?”

Upon hearing this, the subordinate dared not say more and retreated a step in fear.

Just then, someone stepped forward and scrutinized the Sect Leader of the Heisha Sect.

Feeling his gaze, the Sect Leader of the Heisha Sect looked sharply over.

When their eyes met, that person slightly curled his lips.

”I am Luan Yun, the Peak Master of Purple Mist Peak. May I ask if you are looking for the people of Stone Village?”

Upon hearing him state his identity, the Sect Leader of the Heisha Sect’s eyes lit up.

He knew about Gu Sheng’s massacre at Purple Mist Peak. Now that the Peak Master of Purple Mist Peak was seeking him out, how could he not understand his intentions?

”Indeed! I am looking for Gu Sheng to see if there’s an opportunity to take his life!”

Upon hearing the plan, Luan Yun’s lips curled up high.

”No wonder you seem so familiar, Brother. It turns out we have a common enemy.”

He was straightforward, and the Sect Leader of the Heisha Sect spoke candidly as well.

”I am Zhang Ping, the Sect Leader of the Heisha Sect. If Brother Luan wishes to join forces with me to take Gu Sheng’s life, let’s sit down for a detailed discussion.”

With a common goal, the two soon hit it off.

The members of both sides gathered together and began discussing how to take Gu Sheng’s life.

At this moment, in the dark area on the side of the mountain, Gu Sheng was vigilantly watching the surroundings.

In fact, Shi Lou was right; this night, indeed, felt excessively long and prone to incidents. But with the South Mountain just ahead, he didn’t want them to be distracted by this matter, so he said those words to comfort them.

His words could comfort them, but they might not convince himself. With various sects stationed here, and enemies made on multiple sides, he was still worried in his heart.

Tomorrow, they must go up the duel platform. If anyone survives, they can enter South Mountain. If someone tries to take advantage tonight and doesn’t take their lives but ensures they can’t step off the platform alive, they might not escape unscathed. So after coaxing everyone to sleep, he kept watch through the night.

As dawn approached, half of the burden in Gu Sheng’s heart eased.

Finding himself with nothing to do, he reached for his waistband and happened to touch a hard object.

His heart stirred as he withdrew the item and spread it out on his palm—it was none other than the red porcelain bottle belonging to the Sect Leader of the Heisha Sect!

After sensing the Spiritual Energy on it again, he took out a pill and examined it closely by the faint light.

After examining it, he released Divine Power from his fingertips to slowly penetrate the pill and analyze its components.

Once he comprehended everything, he couldn’t help but be startled.

Because he truly hadn’t expected the Heisha Sect to possess such a rare item!

This pill not only enhances Spiritual Power but can save a life in a critical moment, bringing someone back to full strength from the brink of death, even if they have only one breath left. Although they will return to an injured state afterwards, their power can increase by at least half!

Gu Sheng couldn’t help but marvel, and he counted the pills.

Unfortunately, the number of pills was far less than the number of people they had, making it impossible for everyone to have one.

After pondering for a while, Gu Sheng put the pills back in the bottle.

Since everyone can’t have one, they’ll be saved for crucial moments.

With daylight breaking, he finally exhaled a sigh of relief.

Just as he turned to walk towards his group, footsteps and cursing suddenly came from behind.

Listening closely, the voice was that of the Sect Leader of the Heisha Sect!

Startled, Gu Sheng quickly concealed himself in the shadows.

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, he saw the Sect Leader of the Heisha Sect walking side by side with the Peak Master of Purple Mist Peak!

The two seemed to have a close relationship, whispering to each other, and Gu Sheng could faintly hear his own name.

At the moment he heard his name, he could roughly guess the content.

With a wave of his hand, allowing entwined branches to fall silently, Gu Sheng retreated deeper into the concealed area.

It was a perfect hiding spot they had found after much searching the previous day, and it was proving its worth.

Soon, the footsteps drew closer, and the voices of the two became clearer.

Worried about the noise startling the outside people, causing alarm among his companions, Gu Sheng quickly used Divine Power to silence everyone.

Just as he thought, Shi Lou and the others woke up alarmed by the noise from outside, quickly drawing their swords.

Seeing this, Gu Sheng hurriedly restrained their hands and feet.

Unable to do anything, cold sweat dripped down their backs, and beads of sweat formed on their foreheads.

Gu Sheng quickly stepped forward, stood among them, and gestured for silence.

Upon seeing Gu Sheng, everyone’s heart calmed somewhat.

Once they were fully calmed down, Gu Sheng retracted his Divine Power, reminding them to remain silent.

While everyone looked puzzled, the cursing voices of the Sect Leader of the Heisha Sect and the Peak Master of Purple Mist Peak reached them once more.

Their voices were gradually getting quieter as they passed.

Upon hearing their voices, everyone frowned, and Gu Sheng only relaxed once the voices faded away.

”They’ve moved far off now.”

”Brother Sheng, if I heard correctly, wasn’t that the voice of the Sect Leader of the Heisha Sect and the Peak Master of Purple Mist Peak just now?”
