Chapter 1072: Chapter 560: The Fan Sect’s Objective
Learning that the people from the Fan Sect might be here, everyone felt their hearts race.
"Gu Sheng, do you know how many of them there are?"
"The aura is chaotic, it’s not easy to determine right now, but... it seems like someone is injured."
Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.
"Someone’s injured? That makes it easier for us to act."
"It’s convenient, but we still need to be cautious. According to Wushuang Taoist, the Fan Sect people are not simple, their methods are extremely despicable, and they are skilled in using poison. We must be very careful."
At this point, Gu Sheng turned to look at them: "The people of the Fan Sect were all trained by Saint Ya. Each of them carries poison within them. Even if we have a chance to kill them, we must be cautious and not fall into their trap."
Upon hearing that these people carried poison within them, Bai Yu couldn’t help but curse: "This Saint Ya is really venomous! It’s bad enough that she does evil herself, but she also trained such a group. If they one day dominate Jianghu, won’t everyone else be poisoned to death?"
"More or less, that’s why they’ve been suppressing Wushuang Taoist, to achieve this goal. But we can’t let them succeed. Everyone conceal your aura. We’ll settle here for now and wait until nightfall, then we’ll head over to check how many are there and how strong they are."
"Gu Sheng, what if Saint Ya is here? Are we a match for her?"
"Saint Ya is not here, her aura has weakened significantly. She’s been gone for at least three days. Only the Fan Sect people are here."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt slightly relieved.
Since they were already at the foot of East Mountain, Gu Sheng worried that their people might get discovered and turned against, so he deliberately led them further away and found a safe place to settle.
As soon as they sat down, Hong Mei took out a porcelain bottle and distributed the pills inside to everyone.
"These are pills crafted by my master that can instantly restore strength and divine power. Everyone take them, just in case."
Seeing the pills in her hand, Gu Sheng held her back a bit.
"We still have some time, we can recover our strength and divine power on our own. Let’s save the pills for critical moments."
"No need, these pills are not any magical elixir, just very ordinary pills. Everyone can take them without worry. I have plenty more, enough to support us along the way."
Saying this, Hong Mei patted the bracelet on her hand, making her meaning obvious.
While Gu Sheng was still contemplating, Hong Mei straightforwardly handed the pills to everyone.
"Just eat when you’re told. I won’t poison you, what are you afraid of?"
Everyone held the pills, unsure for a moment whether to eat them.
Seeing this, Gu Sheng said: "Eat, it’s vital to recover your strength early, now that we’re at the foot of East Mountain, it indeed assists us greatly."
With his words, everyone finally began taking the pills one after another.
After taking the pills, Lan Yao said: "I also have some pills here. Though not as good as Wushuang Taoist’s, they suffice for a while."
Gu Sheng nodded, his gaze continuously fixed on East Mountain, a thoughtful expression on his face.
Knowing he was considering how to deal with the Fan Sect people, everyone dared not disturb him, choosing instead to sit and quietly rest on the side.
As dusk fell, Gu Sheng rose.
He turned to the crowd and said to Bai Yu: "You and Lan Yao take your men to the west. Don’t get too close, just sense as much as you can and return in an hour."
Hearing his words, Bai Yu promptly nodded.
"Alright, we’ll head over now."
"Hong Mei, you take the Mirror Gate people and come with me."
Hong Mei nodded and immediately stood beside him.
Everyone split into two groups, Bai Yu leading his men west, while Gu Sheng led his from behind.
As they advanced, they felt the sinister air grow increasingly heavier.
Gu Sheng couldn’t summon the small tripod, so he had them protect themselves.
As they ventured forth, they finally saw the bonfire outside.
Around the bonfire sat many people, just as Wushuang Taoist said, mostly women with only a few men.
Gu Sheng lifted his body slightly to look forward, spotting someone seated at the forefront, closest to the bonfire. Her face was somewhat pale, with some red on her robe sleeve, evidence of injury.
After contemplating, Gu Sheng released a bit of spiritual power.
Soon, he heard their conversation.
As expected, the woman sitting at the front was the sect leader of the Fan Sect. She had led people in attacking major Jianghu sects, only to face reinforcements, resulting in her injury.
"Before Saint Ya destroys the Sky Blue Sect, we need to quickly eliminate some major factions and prominent families in Jianghu. Otherwise, they might assist the alive members of the Sky Blue Sect. Today I couldn’t kill the sect leader, but in three days, we’ll fight again, and we’ll definitely bloodbath their sect!"
Speaking these words, her tone was filled with hatred, as if she couldn’t wait to bloodbath that sect now.
"Sect Leader, do we need to leave someone guarding this place as we advance this time?"
"No need, just some herbs. No need to dispatch special guards. Wushuang Taoist is already struggling, how could she have the capacity to disrupt these herbs vital to her life, relying on that foolish apprentice of hers? This time, we’re all heading to the Qikong Sect—I must take their lives!"
Learning their target for the bloodbath was the Qikong Sect, Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
Just then, he suddenly heard a crunching sound.
Turning towards the noise, he found it was Hong Mei, angrily grinding her teeth!
Seeing her visibly furious expression, Gu Sheng patted her arm.
