Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1143 595: Gu Sheng Wakes Up (2)

Two hours later, Bai Yu and Luochuan hurriedly returned.

Seeing them, everyone quickly approached.

"How was it? Did you sense the aura?"

"I did, it's indeed the aura of Luo Qin's men."

"Has he truly come?"

"He likely hasn't arrived yet, just sent his men ahead. But judging from the aura, he isn't far from here, he should be here by tomorrow."

"How many have they sent?"

"A few hundred people."

Upon hearing this, Lan Yao quickly looked at Bai Yu.

"They've sent hundreds of people, can your White Cloud Sect hold them off?"

Looking at him, Bai Yu seemed speechless.

"Lan Yao, don't forget, our White Cloud Sect is the number one Great Sect in the world. If we can't fend off a few hundred people, how can we claim to be number one?"

"Aren't there Death Soldiers among their hundreds?"

"The Death Soldiers should be with Luo Qin, not sure how many, but there's definitely an aura present, they should also arrive by tomorrow."

Saying this, Bai Yu cast his gaze onto the bed, letting out a gentle sigh.

"It would be great if Gu Sheng wakes up, he would definitely know what to do."

"Sect Leader Bai said Gu Sheng should awaken tonight or tomorrow, we shouldn't force him to."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu was pleasantly surprised.

"My father said that?"

"Yes."

"It's already evening now, has Gu Sheng shown any response?"

"He's shown reactions before, probably trying to force himself awake. It's only after several attempts to calm him that he settled down. Don't disturb him, wait until his strength fully recovers."

Understanding what he meant, Bai Yu and Luochuan instinctively lowered their voices.

Unnoticed, time had quietly slipped into the night.

Seeing no reaction from Gu Sheng, Hong Mei stood up and said: "Don't wait anymore, everyone should rest. Luo Qin and the soldiers are arriving soon, even if Gu Sheng doesn't wake, we must gather our strength for action."

"Alright, let's go rest first."

Everyone understood what was most crucial now, so no one objected and turned to rest.

As dawn approached, a sudden burst of aura escaped from Gu Sheng's room but quickly dissipated completely.

On the bed, Gu Sheng finally broke through the mist always enveloping his body, gradually opening his eyes.

Facing the unfamiliar surroundings, it took him a while to gather his thoughts.

Seeing countless elixirs placed on his bedside, he slightly curled his lips, raised his hand to touch his Dantian.

Indeed, due to the nourishment from these elixirs, he had absorbed some Spiritual Energy from the Spiritual Pearl, and his strength had subtly increased.

Just as Gu Sheng gathered all the scattered Spiritual Power, an external aura suddenly caught his attention.

After sensing it, his expression shifted slightly.

Rising, he picked up a longsword forged of Xuan Iron and strode outside.

As the sky brightened, Gu Sheng moved alone through the White Cloud Sect and quickly disappeared.

Not long after, Lan Yao, yawning, pushed open Gu Sheng's door.

"Gu Sheng, I asked already, Sect Leader Bai said you should have fully recovered this morning, you better not be lazy…"

Before he could finish, Lan Yao saw the empty bed.

After checking several times, he vigorously rubbed his eyes.

Confirming Gu Sheng was not on the bed, he immediately let out a sharp scream.

At this moment, everyone had just woken up, and his scream startled them all. Without time to dress properly, they rushed barefoot towards him.

Seeing Gu Sheng's door wide open and only Lan Yao standing there screaming, everyone instantly felt uneasy.

"What happened? What's going on?"

"Gu Sheng… Gu Sheng…"

Due to nervousness, Lan Yao couldn't manage a complete sentence.

Turning their heads to the bed, and seeing the empty bed, everyone couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise.

"How can this be? How did Gu Sheng suddenly disappear?"

Panic-stricken, Hong Mei grabbed Luochuan and asked shakily: "Quickly sense, is there any aura of Luo Qin here?"

After sensing, Luochuan shook his head.

"No, there's only the aura left by Brother Sheng, but that was from an hour ago."

"He disappeared an hour ago? How come we didn't notice at all?"

"How can this be? How did he vanish without a trace?"

"If it wasn't Luo Qin, then who was it?"

While everyone was as restless as ants on a hot pan, Sect Leader Bai walked over.

Seeing everyone here, he thought Gu Sheng had awakened, thus asked with a smile: "Gu Sheng just awoke and you all came?"

Upon hearing this, everyone simultaneously turned their heads.

At that moment, Sect Leader Bai noticed their grim expressions.

"What's the matter? What happened?"

"Father, Gu Sheng… is missing."

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Bai's heart jolted suddenly, but as a person who had cultivated for many years, he quickly extricated himself from this emotion.

"Gu Sheng wouldn't disappear, he must have sensed something and gone out."

"Is that so?"

"It should be. Understanding his body, he should have awoken early today. If he didn't meet you all, he likely sensed those auras and went out alone."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt even more anxious.

"Luo Qin should be arriving today, with so many Death Soldiers alongside him, would Gu Sheng encounter trouble going alone?"

Once Hong Mei said this, everyone's hearts tightened again.

Sect Leader Bai also felt this made sense, thus looked at Bai Yu and said: "Take your disciples and go find him, you should know where Gu Sheng is."

Understanding what his father meant, Bai Yu immediately nodded.

Luochuan remained silent and went out with his weapon.

As soon as the two stepped out, a figure swiftly approached from afar.

The opponent's speed was fast; they could only see a shadow, and instinctively, they simultaneously raised their weapons.

Seeing them do so, Sect Leader Bai hurriedly shouted: "Don't attack, it's Gu Sheng!"

As soon as he said this, everyone was taken aback.

Here, Gu Sheng had already appeared beside them steadily.

"Long time no see, is this how you welcome me?"

Looking at his teasing and smiling demeanor, Bai Yu, irritated, stepped forward and punched his chest.

"You scared us for no reason! Knowing we're here, you still approached so quickly, I thought it was Luo Qin or his men."

"You really overestimate him; can he possess skills like mine?"

Seeing Gu Sheng's smug expression, everyone was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Gu Sheng turned around and respectfully greeted Sect Leader Bai with a smile.

"Seeing you here, I knew you could recognize me, that's why I came quickly. I hope I didn't surprise you?"

"No, just seeing you makes me happy, Gu Sheng, your recovery seems quite good?"

"I have to thank you for those elixirs, Sect Leader Bai. Constant nourishment from them, not only is my body fully recovered, my strength has subtly surpassed my previous level."

"No wonder you possess Spirit Roots, even your cultivation involves some shortcuts. Gu Sheng, did you go to find Luo Qin this morning?"

Gu Sheng did not conceal and nodded directly.

"I sensed their aura this morning, felt something was off, so I went to have a look."

Saying this, Gu Sheng placed his weapon aside.

Lan Yao casually glanced, surprisingly seeing bloodstains on the weapon!

"Gu Sheng, what happened here? Why is there blood on your weapon? Have you already clashed with them?"

As soon as Lan Yao said this, everyone's hearts tightened again.

They had witnessed the prowess of the Death Soldiers, not something one person could manage, a slight misstep could cost one's life. Gu Sheng actually went there alone?

As everyone stared at him, Gu Sheng smiled and nodded.

"I did engage them, but not as you think. I didn't confront them directly; I acted covertly."
