Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1510: Chapter 778: The Outlook Is Grim

”Who dares to trespass the sacred grounds of the Imperial City?”

The leading Earth King Realm expert’s voice was like thunder, causing the runes around the Teleportation Array to tremble slightly.

Cold sweat dripped from Gu Sheng’s forehead as the True Qi within him nearly froze.

Any one of these experts could easily take his life, let alone five of them joining forces.

Just as he was about to speak up and explain, the girl beside him gently stepped forward.

”Boldness.”

Although the girl’s voice was not loud, it swept away all the pressure like fresh spring water flowing through a mountain stream.

She raised her hand to remove her veil, revealing a face as exquisite as a painting yet cold as frost.

Gu Sheng noticed the shock in the experts’ eyes as soon as they saw the girl’s face.

”This Young Master Gu helped liberate the seal for the palace, and he is a contributor to the Southern Emperor City.”

Although her tone was flat, it carried undeniable authority.

”Would you dare still not withdraw?”

”Greetings, Princess!”

Dozens of experts simultaneously knelt down on one knee, even the Earth King Realm expert lowered his proud head.

Gu Sheng’s pupils contracted slightly.

He knew the girl’s identity was extraordinary, but he hadn’t expected her to be the daughter of the Southern Emperor.

No wonder she could come and go freely in forbidden areas, and no wonder those Fierce Beasts dared not approach...

”You may rise.”

The girl gestured for everyone to stand, her gaze swept across the leading Earth King Realm expert.

”Commander Lin, immediately arrange for five King Realm experts to accompany the palace to Nine Heavens City.”

Commander Lin hesitated.

”Your Highness just escaped, shouldn’t you first meet His Majesty...”

”Rescuing is urgent.”

The girl interrupted him, her tone brooking no argument.

”Prepare the Transmission Array immediately.”

Commander Lin was about to speak but ultimately bowed with clenched fists.

”Understood.”

Gu Sheng observed the girl’s decisive demeanor, sighing inwardly.

This princess might seem frail but her actions were so resolute that even Earth King Realm experts dared not defy her orders.

When the Transmission Array lit up again, there were five King Realm experts beside Gu Sheng.

Though they concealed their aura, the feeling of power like an abyss and ocean still suffocated Gu Sheng.

The girl stood in the center of the array, her garments fluttering without wind, her eyes held a light Gu Sheng couldn’t comprehend.

”Nine Heavens City...”

The girl murmured lowly, her voice carried a coldness unlike anything Gu Sheng had heard before.

A flash of light, and the scene abruptly changed.

When Gu Sheng once again saw his surroundings clearly, they were already standing on the Transmission Platform of a magnificent city.

But the expected guards and checks were nowhere to be seen; the entire transmission area was devoid of people.

”Something is wrong.”

A King Realm expert frowned.

”The Nine Heavens City’s transmission area is always heavily guarded.”

Gu Sheng looked around and found the city eerily quiet.

There were no Martial Artists coming and going, no vendors selling wares, not even a patrol team to be seen.

The air was filled with a strange silence, as if the entire city had been drained of vitality.

”Investigate.”

The girl commanded.

The five King Realm experts immediately scattered, their Divine Sense flooded the entire city like a tide.

A moment later, they returned to report.

”Reporting to Your Highness, there are barely any Martial Artists above the Heavenly Martial Realm in the city.”

A King Realm expert spoke in a deep voice.

”The core forces of the Nine Heavens Divine Sect are not present in the city.”

Gu Sheng’s heart skipped a beat.

”Could Situ Qingfeng have done something?”

The girl looked at him.

”Contact your friend.”

Gu Sheng quickly took out the Communication Treasure, injected True Qi to activate it.

On the treasure, Situ Qingfeng’s urgent voice emerged.

”Gu! I’m in the Nine Heavens Divine Sect cemetery, being hunted by seven people! Among them is an old monster at the half-step King Realm! Hurry!”

The voice cut off abruptly, the situation obviously dire.

Gu Sheng looked up at the girl.

”Situ Qingfeng is in danger at the cemetery.”

Even before the girl could speak, a Sect Realm expert who went out to investigate returned hastily.

”Your Highness! Thirty miles outside the city a large Secret Realm has opened, its Spiritual Energy density is comparable to Cave Heaven Blessed Land! Most of Nine Heavens Divine Sect’s experts have gone there!”

Gu Sheng’s eyes lit up.

A Secret Realm meant opportunity, if he could enter and explore... But the girl’s reaction was unexpected to him.

”Send word back to the Imperial City, inform my father of this.”

The girl said to Commander Lin.

”Our trip has another purpose.”

Commander Lin hesitated.

”Your Highness, that Secret Realm...”

”Say no more.”

The girl interrupted him.

”To the cemetery.”

Gu Sheng suppressed the regret in his heart, following the girl and five King Realm experts flying west of the city.

As they approached the cemetery, he felt the cold aura growing stronger.

It wasn’t ordinary chill; it carried a sense of decay and death.

When they flew over the cemetery, the sight took Gu Sheng’s breath away.

The originally solemn cemetery was now a mess, tombstones tilted, graves blasted open, the ground looked like it had been clawed by a giant beast, exposing black soil beneath.

”This...”

A King Realm expert frowned.

”What exactly did Situ Qingfeng do?”

Gu Sheng was also filled with doubt.

Though Situ Qingfeng acted unconventionally, he wouldn’t go as far as to desecrate someone’s ancestral graves.

Unless... he discovered something.

Just as they were about to descend, a tunneling light burst forth from the depths of the cemetery, blocking their path.

A middle-aged man dressed in Nine Heavens Divine Sect attire appeared, his face grim, eyes filled with vigilance and enmity.

”Who dares to control the sky in the Holy Land of the Nine Heavens Divine Sect?”

The man shouted harshly, his body exuding the aura of a Peak Heavenly Martial Realm.

”Trespassers shall die!”

A fierce shout cracked like thunder, the Nine Heavens Divine Sect’s Eighth Level of Sect Realm martial artist stood mid-air, surrounded by True Qi burning like flames.

He was about to berate them for trespassing in the cemetery, but when his gaze swept over the ground, seeing the massive stones torn by Sword Qi and scorched earth, he involuntarily swallowed back the words ”cemetery.”
