Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1532: Chapter 789: Strange Silence

"Snap!"

The clear sound of fingers snapping echoed through the hall.

In an instant, countless deep blue flowers bloomed out of nowhere, suspended dreamily in the air.

Each flower was crystal clear, with petals flowing with an unusual luster, releasing an intoxicating fragrance.

"This is..."

Tantai Bingtang’s pupils suddenly contracted.

As the fragrance spread, everyone in the hall froze in place, their expressions becoming dazed and vacant.

The experts from the Sect Realm, who were about to attack Gu Sheng, suddenly stopped in their tracks, their eyes blank as if their souls had been extracted.

Xie Qingxuan was surprised to find that neither she nor the Tantai sisters were affected by the fragrance.

She suddenly recalled the Elixir Pill that Gu Sheng had given them earlier, and instantly realized... it was the antidote!

"Ah!"

A scream shattered the silence.

One of the Wanliu Sect elders suddenly began to bleed black blood from his seven orifices, his body collapsing to the ground like a piece of rotten flesh.

Soon after, the second, and the third... all the people of Wanliu Sect, including Sect Master Qi and Qi Yinglong, began bleeding from their seven orifices, their faces twisted in agony.

Sect Master Qi barely raised his head, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Bei... Beichen Flower... You... you are..."

Before he finished speaking, his body collapsed like a sand tower, his flesh rapidly disintegrating and melting, until only a skeleton remained, which turned to ash in the blink of an eye.

Tantai Bingtang gasped, murmuring softly.

"On the day the Beichen Flower blooms, the Great Emperor’s soul breaks..."

Xie Qingxuan stared in shock at the scene before her.

"What... what kind of evil magic is this?"

"It’s not evil magic."

Tantai Bingtang’s voice trembled.

"It’s the long-lost ultimate skill of Beichen Sect... ’Beichen Soul-breaking Fragrance’."

Gu Sheng retrieved a white Elixir Pill from his Storage Ring, lightly crushed it, and sprinkled the powder towards the guests in the hall.

The dazed guests immediately stopped bleeding from their seven orifices, but remained in a state of confusion.

"Bingtang."

Gu Sheng’s voice suddenly sounded in Tantai Bingtang’s mind.

"Take them and leave."

Tantai Bingtang looked deeply at Gu Sheng, took her sister and Xie Qingxuan’s hands.

"Go!"

The three quickly dashed out of the hall.

Xie Qingxuan glanced back, only to see Gu Sheng quietly floating in the center of the flower sea, the silver mask reflecting a cold light, like a ruthless God of Slaughter.

"Who... who the heck is he?"

Xie Qingxuan couldn’t help but ask.

Tantai Bingtang didn’t answer, simply quickened her pace.

As soon as the three flew out of the Wanliu Sect’s mountain gate, a bizarre buzzing sound came from behind.

Tantai Xueling couldn’t help but turn back, seeing the entire sky above Wanliu Sect covered in a deep blue sea of flowers, breathtaking yet indescribably eerie.

"Don’t look."

Tantai Bingtang tugged her sister.

"We need to leave Heaven City as quickly as possible."

Xie Qingxuan frowned.

"Those guests..."

"Gu Sheng already gave them the antidote."

Tantai Bingtang spoke in a grave tone.

"Only the people from Wanliu Sect died."

The three sped along the way, soon reaching a hidden cave at the outskirts of the city.

Inside, a Teleportation Array had been prepared, and Tantai Bingtang skillfully activated it, making their figures instantly disappear.

When the light dissipated, they were already in an unnamed valley miles away.

Tantai Xueling finally couldn’t hold back her tears.

"Sister... Gu, he... he killed so many people..."

Tantai Bingtang gently stroked her sister’s hair, her expression complicated.

"That wasn’t Gu Sheng."

"What do you mean?"

Xie Qingxuan asked warily.

"Or rather, that was not just Gu Sheng."

Tantai Bingtang looked into the distance.

"The Beichen Flower is the secret of the Beichen Sect, and Beichen Sect was exterminated a thousand years ago..."

Xie Qingxuan’s pupils contracted slightly.

"You’re saying..."

"Gu Sheng carries a past heavier than we imagined."

Tantai Bingtang spoke softly.

"Today may just be the beginning."

Meanwhile, within the Wanliu Sect, those guests, intoxicated by the floral fragrance, gradually woke up.

"What’s... happening to me?"

A sect elder rubbed his temple, bewildered as he looked around.

When he saw the surroundings clearly, he was struck, as if by lightning... the hall was littered with the clothes of the Wanliu Sect members, yet the people who should have been in the clothes had all turned to ash, scattered by the wind.

"Wanliu Sect... has been wiped out?"

Someone trembled as they spoke.

The crowd was terrified to discover that the entire Wanliu Sect, from the Sect Master to the commoners, was completely annihilated.

Those who once dominated the scene had now left nothing but piles of clothes and ashes.

"It was those flowers!"

Suddenly, a female cultivator shrieked.

"I saw blue flowers before I fainted!"

"But why are we okay?"

Someone raised a question.

The crowd glanced at each other, unable to explain why only the people from Wanliu Sect were affected.

"We must inform the Great Wilderness Holy Academy immediately!"

An older cultivator spoke seriously.

"The extermination of Wanliu Sect is a major event that shakes the entire Great Wilderness!"

"And that masked person..."

Someone added.

"If he has malicious intent..."

The crowd shivered despite themselves.

Quickly, the news spread like wildfire across the Great Wilderness.

The news of Wanliu Sect’s annihilation by a mysterious figure shocked the entire cultivation world, and the person known as the "Beichen Flower Master" became a fearsome topic across various sects.

Meanwhile, in a valley miles away, Gu Sheng stood quietly before a waterfall, gazing at the cascading curtain of water.

The silver mask was removed, revealing a handsome yet cold face.

"A part of Beichen Sect’s revenge is finally repaid."

He whispered, his eyes filled with pain.

"Father, Mother, you can rest in peace in heaven."

Footsteps sounded behind him, but Gu Sheng did not turn around.

"Gu..."

Tantai Xueling called out timidly.
