Chapter 1454: Chapter 750: He Won’t Get Far
“In the Spirit Flame Mountain Secret Realm, only you and that girl came out alive, while my disciple and the Young Sect Master of the Divine Blood Sect and others are all missing. Can you say it has nothing to do with you?”
Gu Sheng circulated the True Yuan within his body, resisting the pressure, yet outwardly remaining composed.
“Sect Master, you are mistaken. I am merely at the Earth Martial Realm in cultivation. How could I possibly kill more than ten Heavenly Martial Realm experts alone? Moreover…”
He glanced at the Divine Blood Sect Master.
“Including your sect’s Young Sect Master.”
The Divine Blood Sect Master narrowed his blood-red eyes slightly.
“Boy, you have quite the glib tongue. But you know full well what happened in the Secret Realm.”
Gu Sheng sighed, putting on a helpless expression.
“Rest assured, both Sect Masters, there was a sudden disturbance at Molten Rock Lake in the Secret Realm, and I was lucky to escape. As for your disciples…”
He intentionally paused.
“Perhaps there was some conflict among them?”
“Nonsense!”
The Sun and Moon Sect Master was furious.
“Han Song acts steadily. Why would he provoke a dispute without reason?”
Gu Sheng remained neither humble nor overbearing.
“Indeed, Young Master Xu… has a unique personality. I personally witnessed him provoking the Young Sect Master of the Divine Blood Sect, and the two almost traded blows.”
Upon hearing this, the Divine Blood Sect Master’s eyes flashed with bloodlight.
“Old man of the Sun and Moon Sect, your disciple lacks discipline, yet you come to question an Earth Martial junior?”
The Sun and Moon Sect Master looked grim.
“Blood Fiend, don’t be incited by him! This young man survives the Secret Realm; there must be something fishy!”
Gu Sheng watched the two argue, secretly delighted, but outwardly he appeared fearful.
“If the two Sect Masters do not believe me, why not enter the Secret Realm to see for yourselves? The traces of the disturbance at Molten Rock Lake are still evident, a look will tell.”
The Sun and Moon Sect Master and the Divine Blood Sect Master exchanged glances, seeing doubt in each other’s eyes.
“Boy, you’re trying to send us away?”
The Sun and Moon Sect Master sneered coldly.
Gu Sheng spread his hands.
“I am merely suggesting. If the two Sect Masters are determined it was my doing…”
His eyes gleamed sharply.
“Then why not strike now. Only…”
He looked at the Divine Blood Sect Master.
“If I die, the truth may never come to light.”
The Divine Blood Sect Master pondered for a moment.
“Old man of the Sun and Moon Sect, perhaps we should investigate. If what this lad says is true…”
The Sun and Moon Sect Master’s eyes flickered unpredictably, finally giving a cold snort.
“Fine! But you must stay behind!”
He pointed at Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng smiled slightly.
“That’s fine. But if I am proven innocent, the two Sect Masters owe me an explanation.”
“Insolent! Who are you to demand an explanation from this Sect Master?”
The Sun and Moon Sect Master roared angrily.
Gu Sheng remained unruffled.
“I am merely seeking justice. If the Sect Master refuses even this promise…”
He looked meaningfully at the Divine Blood Sect Master.
“It begs the question of whether there’s a guilty conscience.”
The Divine Blood Sect Master suddenly laughed heartily.
“What a sharp-tongued lad! Old man of the Sun and Moon, are you afraid?”
The Sun and Moon Sect Master’s face turned ashen.
“Blood Fiend, you…”
“Enough!”
The Divine Blood Sect Master waved his hand.
“Boy, we will enter to verify. If it is as you claim, I assure you, you will remain unharmed.”
Gu Sheng clasped his hands in gratitude.
“Thank you, Divine Blood Sect Master.”
The Sun and Moon Sect Master’s killing intent remained undiminished, but he said nothing more.
He turned to the three elders behind him.
“You stay here and keep an eye on this lad.”
In front of the bronze gate, the air seemed to solidify.
The withered figure of the Great Elder of the Sun and Moon Sect was like a dried-up tree trunk but exuded a suffocating pressure.
His cloudy eyes stared fixedly at Gu Sheng, his twig-like fingers sporadically fondling the black dagger at his waist.
“Boy, I advise you to save your strength.”
The Great Elder’s voice was like the scraping of sandpaper.
“Once the Sect Master emerges, all will be revealed.”
Gu Sheng’s lips curled into a playful smile.
He deliberately leaned back, almost pressing up against Xie Qingxuan.
The girl’s breathing quickened, her slender fingers tightly clenching his robe hem.
“Why the tension, Great Elder?”
Gu Sheng said lazily.
“We are merely passing by, unaware of what’s behind that bronze door.”
Among the four elders of the Divine Blood Sect, a bald, beefy man snorted.
“Stop pretending! Elder Xu’s death implicates you!”
Gu Sheng’s eyes gleamed imperceptibly.
Suddenly, he raised his hand, and a cyan Gang Qi shot from his fingertip, aiming straight at the Great Elder’s face.
“Impudent!”
The Great Elder waved his sleeve, dissipating the energy before it could reach him.
His eyes filled with murderous intent, yet he restrained himself.
“Boy, try that again, and I’ll cripple you on the spot!”
Gu Sheng exaggeratedly retreated two steps with a mocking smile on his face.
“A Sect Realm expert truly lives up to the name; even the Protective Gang Qi is formidable.”
Xie Qingxuan anxiously tugged at his sleeve, whispering.
“Gu Sheng, don’t…”
Gu Sheng gave her a reassuring glance then turned to the four Divine Blood Sect elders.
“Isn’t that right, elders? A Sect Realm expert is truly impressive, capable of instilling fear just by standing still.”
The bald elder’s veins bulged on his forehead.
“Sharp-tongued brat, just wait until the Sect Master returns, then we’ll see how you laugh!”
“Oh, I’m so frightened.”
Gu Sheng feigned fear, suddenly raising his hand again, three streaks of Gang Qi shooting at the three Divine Blood Sect elders.
“Courting death!”
The three elders shouted in unison, but they casually deflected the attacks without truly striking back.
Gu Sheng felt secretly pleased.
He noticed that although the five elders were agitated, they restrained themselves from genuinely attacking.
Clearly, they were waiting for the two Sect Masters to return and make a judgment.
“Gu Sheng…”
Xie Qingxuan’s voice trembled.
“We…”
“Don’t be afraid.”
Gu Sheng lowered his voice, speaking at a volume only she could hear.
“They dare not act now. Follow my lead when the time comes.”
