Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1690: Chapter 858: One of a Kind

”Moreover, he destroyed our Divine Sect’s branch and has the blood of our disciples on his hands. The bloody cause and effect wraps around him uniquely! No one could impersonate him! Gu Sheng... You finally appear! You actually dare to disguise and sneak in here!”

At that very moment, as the girl’s expression changed, Gu Sheng, controlling his incarnation from afar at the inn, suddenly felt an extraordinarily subtle yet bone-chilling coldness like a poison needle piercing his back!

His heart was immediately filled with alarm, but outwardly he remained impassive. However, his powerful spiritual power spread stealthily like an invisible web, quickly scanning the entire group, particularly the direction from which the malicious intent emanated.

Soon, his spiritual power locked onto a seemingly ordinary, disheveled and dirty girl deep within the crowd. Although she quickly restrained her killing intent to become ”empty” once more, Gu Sheng had already precisely captured that fleeting sharpness and venomous hatred.

”Someone from the Five Poison Divine Sect... and definitely not an ordinary disciple. Seems she’s the ’hidden’ little princess. Truly sharp, she could sense the subtle disharmony of the Spirit Embryo Incarnation, even felt the remnants of the Five Immortals Soul Chasing Gu.”

Gu Sheng sneered inwardly, secretly using an extremely subtle spiritual power, like an invisible brand, to mark the girl. ”Since you’ve discovered me, let’s see who will have the last laugh.”

At this moment, the elder of the Heavenly Fire Divine Sect spoke again, extending an invitation.

”Young Master Situ, Lord Shen, we are not far from Golden Wing Ridge, why not ride with us on our Heavenly Fire Divine Sect’s flying boat? We have prepared spiritual tea aboard, and we can use this opportunity to discuss the specifics of exploring the Secret Realm.”

Shen Wuguang, feeling irritable under the scorching sun, was immediately delighted upon hearing this and was the first to agree.

”Excellent! Thank you for your kind offer, elder!”

Nangong Yuexia then subtly turned her gaze, looking seemingly inadvertently over Situ Qingfeng and the ”Yun Qing” at the end of the group.

She had been extremely low-key throughout the journey, almost non-existent, waiting for Gu Sheng’s plan to succeed, causing Shen Wuguang to be left ”speechless” within the Secret Realm.

Gu Sheng transmitted a message to Situ Qingfeng.

”Accept it, it will save us some effort.”

Understanding, Situ Qingfeng cupped his hands and smiled at the Heavenly Fire Divine Sect elder.

”Then we shall trouble your sect.”

With that, all of them, following the lead of the Heavenly Fire Divine Sect martial artists, took to the sky and flew towards the splendid flying boat anchored in mid-air.

...

About an hour later, the flying boat arrived at their destination—Golden Wing Ridge.

Before them lay mountains meandering, with strange rocks rugged; the most striking feature was the main peak shaped like a giant golden bird spreading its wings, presumably the origin of the name ”Golden Wing Ridge.”

On a relatively flat and open area at the mountain’s outskirts were already two large flying boats anchored. One was entirely made of glazed material, reflecting seven-colored light in the sunshine, a symbol of the Glazed God Sect.

The other exuded a rich sense of life, with patterns of flora growing etched on the hull, the vehicle of the Longevity Divine Sect.

”Oh? Friends from the Glazed God Sect and Longevity Divine Sect arrived even earlier than us.”

Situ Qingfeng’s gaze swept over the two flying boats, especially showing a trace of surprise upon seeing the Longevity Divine Sect’s boat. The Longevity Divine Sect was quite distant from here, theoretically not so quick to arrive.

Shen Wuguang, hearing this, adopting a somewhat show-off tone, explained quietly.

”Young Master Situ may not know, but it was heard that traces of the wanted criminal Gu Sheng were discovered in several surrounding cities a few days ago. The Longevity Ancestor personally led a group to hunt him down, seemingly losing track of that kid in this region.

Coincidentally, it was at this time Elder Yue Xia announced the Secret Realm’s news, and so the Longevity Ancestor came along to explore the Secret Realm on one hand, and perhaps on the other hand, to see if Gu Sheng would have the audacity to sneak in here.”

Beside him, Nangong Yuexia timely coughed lightly, interrupting Shen Wuguang’s words, casting a slightly warning glance at him.

Situ Qingfeng’s heart sank fiercely! The Longevity Ancestor here personally?! That existence renowned as a Venerable Realm! If he is present, then Gu’s identity... even with the Spirit Embryo Incarnation’s disguise, the risk is probably immense!

He could not help but cast a worried, covert glance towards the ”Yun Qing” incarnation standing at the edge of the flying boat, still looking dull and wooden.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Fire Divine Sect elder stepped forward again, enthusiastically inviting.

”Everyone, since we are here, please come aboard the flying boat for a chat. I am sure the friends from the Glazed God Sect and Longevity Divine Sect have been waiting impatiently.”

Each person harbored their own thoughts, nodded, and prepared to board the two anchored flying boats. Situ Qingfeng, while handling the pleasantries, was quickly calculating in his mind, worrying about the potential variables that the presence of the Longevity Ancestor might bring.

As for Shen Wuguang, although he felt somewhat resentful from being interrupted by Nangong Yuexia earlier, he was soon overtaken by the excitement of soon entering the Secret Realm.

The flying boat gently landed on the open ground in front of Golden Wing Ridge, positioned in a triangular formation with the Glazed God Sect’s and Longevity Divine Sect’s flying boats. Onboard, though the atmosphere seemed harmonious, it was actually rife with undercurrents.

The Great Elder of the Heavenly Fire Divine Sect, with his hair and beard a dark crimson, wise and experienced, his gaze sharp, appeared to notice a trace of heavy concern in Situ Qingfeng’s demeanor.

His eyes flashed with sharp insight, just about to speak when a terrifying spiritual power—formless and weightless yet overwhelming as a mountain—descended silently like a specter, pressing precisely onto Situ Qingfeng’s Sea of Consciousness!
