Chapter 1444: Chapter 745: Just What I Wanted
“Senior Brother Xu, this person has a deep relationship with Linyin Pavilion. If you kill him…”
“Shut up!”
Xu Hansong interrupted harshly.
“Outside this Secret Realm, who would know if we kill him? Linyin Pavilion may be powerful, but they can’t trace it back to us!”
Gu Sheng observed the situation and thought it was unfavorable. The opponent had five Heavenly Martial Realm fighters, and although he was strong, defeating five alone seemed unlikely.
He had to find a way to intimidate them.
“Is that so?”
Gu Sheng suddenly smiled, a strange smile.
“Why don’t you give it a try?”
Before he finished speaking, a golden shadow suddenly appeared beside Gu Sheng.
The shadow gradually materialized, emitting a suffocatingly powerful aura—it was the pressure of a Sect Realm Peak!
“What is this…”
The middle-aged man from the Sun and Moon Sect’s face changed drastically.
“Tantai Ying’s aura!”
Xu Hansong’s expression froze instantly, fear in his eyes.
“Impossible! How could Tantai Ying be here?”
Gu Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, the golden shadow beside him looming.
“Elder Xu, do you think with just a few Heavenly Martial Realm fighters, you can withstand a few moves from a Sect Realm Peak?”
The Sun and Moon Sect members exchanged glances, and their aura weakened by three points. The gap between Sect Realm and Heavenly Martial Realm was immense.
Even if the five of them joined forces, they had no chance against a Sect Realm Peak.
Xu Hansong’s face shifted unpredictably, finally gritting his teeth.
“Gu Sheng, stop playing tricks! If Tantai Ying were really here, why doesn’t he show himself?”
“Elder Xu doesn’t believe it?”
Gu Sheng’s lips curved into a cold smile.
“Then why not give it a try. But let me remind you, once you start, there’s no turning back.”
The atmosphere was tense, both sides in a standoff, neither daring to make a move.
Finally, Xu Hansong snorted coldly.
“Gu Sheng, consider yourself lucky today. But after the Secret Realm opens, let’s see who you can rely on!”
Gu Sheng’s heart tightened, knowing the opponent held a grudge, and there would be a fierce battle in the Secret Realm.
He secretly decided he must find an opportunity to solve this threat, or there would be endless trouble.
“Elder Xu, just bring it on.”
Gu Sheng showed no sign of retreat.
“The victor is yet to be determined.”
Just as the tension was at its peak, a piercing laughter suddenly echoed from midair.
“Hahaha, Xu Hansong, you, a dignified elder of the Sun and Moon Sect, are actually intimidated by a young brat? What a disgrace!”
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a shirtless young man standing in the air, his body covered in strange blood-red patterns, appearing particularly eerie under the moonlight.
Gu Sheng’s pupils constricted.
“A Secret Technique Body Cultivator?”
Upon hearing this, the young man cast his gaze at Gu Sheng.
“Boy, you’ve got a good eye. But did you just say that our Secret Technique Body Cultivation is a crooked path depending on external forces?”
Gu Sheng’s expression remained unchanged.
“Isn’t it? Forcing Demon Beast Essence Blood into your body indeed gives you temporary great power, but it’s not the righteous path.”
“How dare you!”
The shirtless young man roared in anger, the patterns on his body suddenly lighting up, radiating a violent aura.
“Boy, in the Secret Realm, I’ll show you just how strong the ‘crooked path’ you mentioned truly is!”
Gu Sheng couldn’t be bothered to respond, merely giving him a cold look. With Tantai Ying’s shadow as a deterrent, the various factions wouldn’t dare make any rash movements for the time being. But he knew very well that once they entered the Secret Realm, the situation would be completely different.
“We’ll see the truth in the Secret Realm.”
Gu Sheng said indifferently, turning to walk down the mountain.
Behind him came Xu Hansong’s cold voice.
“Gu Sheng, the Secret Realm will be your grave!”
Gu Sheng did not look back, only waved his hand, his figure gradually disappearing into the night.
On the mountaintop, the three factions maintained an eerie standoff.
Xu Hansong led the Sun and Moon Sect members standing on the east side, all clad in black attire embroidered with a sun and moon motif on the chest.
He himself wore a sinister expression, unconsciously stroking a Jade Pendant at his waist, a token of the Young Sect Master of the Sun and Moon Sect.
On the west side was the shirtless young man leading dozens, each with a fierce aura, the weakest among them possessing Earth Martial Realm cultivation.
The shirtless young man crossed his arms, his bronze muscles gleaming with a metallic sheen under the sunlight, and the giant sword on his back emitted a chilling aura.
Meanwhile, Gu Sheng, Xie Qingxuan, and Xie He stood to the south, appearing the most outnumbered and weak.
Xie Qingxuan wore snow-white clothing, a thin sword at her waist, while Xie He was a delicate-looking youth, both unable to conceal the nervousness in their eyes.
“Big Brother Gu, these people’s aura…”
Xie Qingxuan whispered, her voice trembling.
Gu Sheng shook his head slightly, his gaze remaining calm.
“No worries, they won’t act for now.”
The shirtless young man suddenly grinned, revealing a mouthful of gleaming white teeth.
“Xu Hansong, aren’t you a pathetic Young Sect Master, daring to explore the Secret Realm with just a handful of people?”
Xu Hansong’s eyes were cold, but he suppressed his anger.
“Hmph, having more people isn’t necessarily useful. But you, a traitor of the Iron Sword Sect, dare to boast here?”
“Traitor?”
The shirtless young man laughed heartily.
“What is the Iron Sword Sect? I, Chi Yan, have now founded my own sect, these brothers follow voluntarily!”
Gu Sheng watched coldly, calculating internally.
This Chi Yan indeed had the capital to be arrogant, with Heavenly Martial Realm cultivation and dozens of Earth Martial Realm followers, making him the strongest.
While Xu Hansong may lack individual strength, the Sun and Moon Sect’s foundation couldn’t be underestimated. As for their own side…
He noticed out of the corner of his eye that Xie Qingxuan’s fingers gripping the sword hilt had turned white, and Xie He was sweating on his forehead.
A Xuanwu Realm facing a Heavenly Martial Realm was indeed like an ant facing an elephant.
“Big Brother Gu, do you think they’ll…”
Xie He couldn’t help but ask in a low voice.
