Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1053: Chapter 550: One Week Later, You Kill Him_2

”That place should have an issue, that’s why they come here looking for us. Since we’ve already met, there’s no need to meet again.”

As soon as Gu Sheng spoke, Bai Yu leaned in again.

”Gu Sheng, does that mean Mirror Gate is the deceased person of Wushuang? Are they also here to kill the Black and White Ghosts?”

”If they’re not lying, it should be like that.”

Upon hearing this answer, Bai Yu’s face was full of black lines.

”How do we know if they’re lying or not?”

”Let’s see if they can draw out the Black and White Ghosts.”

”Alright.”

Everyone headed back home, each returning to their rooms.

Lying on the bed, Gu Sheng kept staring at that piece of paper.

After pondering for a long time, he got up alone and went to that courtyard again.

Indeed, it was still enveloped by Evil Qi, as if it truly was a place of crooked ways and evil paths.

Gu Sheng once again leaped onto that tree and looked towards the window.

There was a shadow by the window, clearly that woman.

Gu Sheng plucked a leaf, raised his right hand, and the leaf flew straight through the bottom of the window.

Shortly after, the candle inside went out, and Gu Sheng quickly left.

By the riverside, Gu Sheng waited a long time and finally awaited that woman.

Feeling the waves of Evil Qi on her, Gu Sheng wanted to use Divine Power to block it but was stopped.

”If you don’t want the Black and White Ghosts to know that I’ve been in contact with you, you’d better not use Divine Power.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow.

”You’ve already met?”

”We haven’t met yet, but we’ve communicated. A week later, he wants me to take ten people’s heads, all of whom must be from renowned sects. If even one is missing, he’ll chop off one of Wushuang Taoist’s fingers.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

”So you’re people of Wushuang Taoist?”

After asking, the woman didn’t answer.

”How do you prove your identity?”

The woman took out a small handkerchief cloth and directly handed it to him.

Gu Sheng took it, feeling a rich wave of Spiritual Energy spreading out, slowly wrapping around his wrist, but it was unfamiliar.

As Gu Sheng attentively sensed this aura, the woman spoke, ”I am Hong Mei, the Sect Leader of Mirror Gate. If you also wish to kill the Black and White Ghosts, you won’t go wrong listening to me.”

”Why should I listen to you? What benefit does it hold for me?”

”There’s no benefit, just that you can kill them, and only I know their whereabouts, only I can draw them out, so you must listen to me.”

After thinking carefully, Gu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.

”If you are indeed people of Wushuang Taoist, I can lend you a hand.”

Knowing he was still probing, Hong Mei sighed softly.

”You’re a clever person, no need to dwell on this issue. A week later, I will lure them with ten heads to this riverbank; whether they can be killed will be up to you.”

”So you only draw them out, and leave everything else to us? In this way, aren’t we just free labor?”

After Gu Sheng spoke, Hong Mei also frowned.

”Isn’t your aim to kill them? Looked at from another angle, I’m helping you too, aren’t I?”

”Without you, we could kill them too, and we wouldn’t need those ten heads.”

”Rest assured, I won’t kill innocent people indiscriminately; the ones I kill are all those who deserve to die.”

”What’s the meaning of that?”

”They have all engaged with Evil Demons; would you say they can be left alive?”

Being countered with a question, Gu Sheng found himself at a loss.

Seeing him silent, Hong Mei softly said, ”As long as you can help me kill the Black and White Ghosts, I can give you something.”

”What?”

”Elixir Pills personally refined by Wushuang Taoist, they can cure all poisons in the world, but there are only a few of them.”

”Are these Elixir Pills really that magical?”

After Gu Sheng asked, Hong Mei looked him up and down, clearly with an expression of speechlessness.

”You can think about it. If you are unwilling, I won’t force you; after all, many people want to kill them, and I can randomly ally with others.”

Having said this, Gu Sheng smiled.

”There’s no need; all of you are within the eyesight of the Black and White Ghosts. It’s also a coincidence that you can contact me. In Shanshui Town, among so many people, perhaps only I have the skill to contact you without leaving traces. As for others, I’m afraid you’d be discovered before you even allied; Wushuang Taoist’s Elixir Pills, huh? I’ve decided! A week later, we’ll meet here!”

After speaking, Gu Sheng casually waved his hand and turned away.

Watching his back, Hong Mei pinched her brows.

”This person is really hard to deal with.”

Gu Sheng heard these words but didn’t turn back, just chuckled softly.

Near dawn, he finally returned to the inn.

He hadn’t slept yet when Bai Yu knocked on his door.

”Gu Sheng, are you up?”

Stopping his actions, Gu Sheng directly opened the door.

”Why so early?”

”My men brought some news back, I want to talk with you. How come you’re up so early?”

Fastening his belt, Gu Sheng smiled.

”I didn’t wake up early, I haven’t slept yet.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu was somewhat surprised.

”You haven’t slept? It’s almost bright.”

”Went out last night.”

”What? You acted alone again? Where did you go? Nothing happened, right?”

He asked several questions in a row, making Gu Sheng’s head spin a bit.

”Nothing, you first tell me what news was brought back on your side.”

Shifting the topic, Bai Yu then said, ”My men said that house had always been deserted before; it was only recently purchased. It should be the handiwork of the Black and White Ghosts. They followed the clues of the Black and White Ghosts and found leads on the Mirror Gate people, but the clues found this time are not simple. They actually traced Wushuang Taoist’s whereabouts from these few people of Mirror Gate!”

Bai Yu’s emotions were extremely excited, but Gu Sheng seemed very calm.

He took out that handkerchief cloth and directly handed it to Bai Yu.

”Feel this. Is this Wushuang Taoist’s Spiritual Energy?”

Bai Yu hurriedly took the handkerchief, carefully sensed it in his palm.

Feeling the aura on it, his eyes almost popped out.

”This... where did you get this from?!”

”Given by the Sect Leader of Mirror Gate.”

”What? She gave it to you? So, are they really people of Wushuang Taoist?”

”Are you sure the aura on it is Wushuang Taoist’s?”

”Absolutely sure! She has visited our Bai Yu Sect before and conversed with me; how could I forget?”

Knowing the aura on the handkerchief was indeed Wushuang Taoist’s, Gu Sheng was completely at ease.

”A week later, Mirror Gate’s people will lure the Black and White Ghosts to the riverside, then we’ll take action.”

”You’ve agreed already?”

”Yeah.”

Gu Sheng explained the matter of exchanging heads for clues, Bai Yu was furious.

”The Black and White Ghosts are truly abominable! I thought they’d personally take lives, and we just need to stop them and kill them. Unexpectedly, they didn’t show themselves and came up with such a malicious trick, not only taking the lives of Jianghu people but also holding Wushuang Taoist hostage. Are they even worthy of holding Wushuang Taoist?!”

”How powerful is Wushuang Taoist?”

”Previously, her power was above that of elders in my sect, but after failing a breakthrough, no one knows her exact power anymore.”

After thinking carefully, Gu Sheng roughly understood what’s going on.

”Mirror Gate gave a commitment that as long as we can kill the Black and White Ghosts, she will give us several of Wushuang Taoist’s Elixir Pills; they are said to cure all the poisons of the world.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu was wildly happy.

”Gu Sheng, are you serious?”

”Yes.”

”You didn’t refuse, did you?”

”No.”

Upon hearing the answer, Bai Yu patted his chest.

”Your temperament, I was really afraid you might refuse; it’s good you didn’t reject it. The Elixir Pills refined by Wushuang Taoist are rare treasures, getting even one would be lucky.”

”Then one week later, we’ll go together to take the lives of the Black and White Ghosts, but just us isn’t enough; we need to bring all those Jianghu people over.”
