Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 811: Chapter 429: The Familiar Desolate Mountain (Part 2)

They never expected that the Peacock King of the Demon Clan had received a favor from Gu Sheng.

What surprised them even more was that provoking Gu Sheng was equivalent to making an enemy of the Peacock King.

As a result, ordinary cultivators had to avoid Gu Sheng when they saw him.

If anyone accidentally glared at Gu Sheng, and he misunderstood, it would be an undeserved death!

Ji Hui felt a wave of disgust upon hearing this.

"Peacock King, are you threatening me?"

Ji Hui said coldly.

The Peacock King nodded: "Yes, I, the Peacock King, am threatening you right here, what will you do about it."

After speaking, the Peacock King crossed his arms, exuding an imposing aura.

Ji Hui’s face looked grim; she didn’t expect that the Peacock King would side with Gu Sheng.

She couldn’t understand how this young kid Gu Sheng had managed to earn the Peacock King’s gratitude.

However, opposing the Peacock King now seemed unwise.

Not to mention whether they could defeat the Peacock King, provoking the Demon Clan itself was a foolish decision.

But the Ji family held some status in East Desolation, and to be threatened by the Peacock King in this manner, it was truly humiliating.

"Peacock King, you are challenging our Ji family!"

Ji Hui spoke coldly, hoping to save some face in front of the world’s cultivators.

"Ji Hui, you should know I’m not challenging your Ji family; I’m merely protecting a friend."

The Peacock King said calmly.

"Fine, then let’s see how long you can protect him."

After saying this, Ji Hui waved to her subordinates and flew off into the distance.

Seeing Ji Hui leave, the onlookers dared not continue watching the scene.

If the Peacock King killed them on a whim, it wouldn’t be worth it.

Soon, the cultivators dispersed, leaving only Gu Sheng and the Peacock King standing in the sky.

"Peacock King, thank you."

Gu Sheng said sincerely.

"Heh heh..."

The Peacock King waved his hand dismissively, "No need to thank me, I’m just doing what I should do."

After saying this, the Peacock King’s eyes showed complex emotions as he looked at Gu Sheng.

Then he paused for a moment and continued to ask, "Gu Sheng, what do you plan to do?"

"Sigh..."

Gu Sheng sighed, appearing somewhat helpless.

He knew he had become the main target of the Ji family, and the Shaking Light Saint wouldn’t let him off either.

Even the Supreme Mysterious Sect might want to capture him...

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng felt even heavier in heart.

"I feel I will become the Ji family’s main target."

Gu Sheng said worriedly.

The Peacock King smiled and said, "Since that’s the case, why not come to my side."

"Hmm?"

Gu Sheng was taken aback, not expecting the Peacock King to make such a suggestion.

"Come to your side?"

Gu Sheng’s eyes were filled with doubt.

"Yes."

The Peacock King nodded, "Come to my side. I can guarantee your safety."

Gu Sheng remained silent, pondering.

He knew the Peacock King’s strength was unfathomable. With his protection, he could indeed temporarily avoid the Ji family’s pursuit.

"Alright, I’ll go with you."

Gu Sheng said resolutely.

At the same time, this was a rare opportunity he couldn’t miss.

"Heh heh..."

The Peacock King gave a satisfied smile.

Then, Gu Sheng followed the Peacock King as they flew off into the distance.

After everyone left, the capital was instantly abuzz.

Rumors spread that Gu Sheng had some special abilities that even the Peacock King submitted to him.

Some even went so far as to say that Gu Sheng had already become immortal...

Meanwhile, Gu Sheng followed the Peacock King, having traveled hundreds of miles.

Soon, the Peacock King brought Gu Sheng to a desolate mountain.

Standing on the desolate mountain, Gu Sheng felt a bit melancholic.

Seeing this place reminded him of Zhuo Peak at the Supreme Mysterious Sect.

If he hadn’t left the Supreme Mysterious Sect, he might still be cultivating with Li Ruoyu.

"What’s wrong?"

The Peacock King noticed Gu Sheng’s sadness and casually asked.

"I... I was thinking of the old days."

Gu Sheng replied.

"Heh heh... is it that Zhuo Peak at the Supreme Mysterious Sect?"

The Peacock King smiled, accurately guessing Gu Sheng’s thoughts.

"How do you know?"

Gu Sheng felt puzzled.

"It’s simple, this place is similar to Zhuo Peak. Any person who has been to Zhuo Peak would find some resemblance here."

The Peacock King said as he took a few steps forward.

He waved a large hand, and a steep cliff glowed brightly.

The illuminated area looked like a large door, giving off an inviting sensation.

"See, that is my temporary refuge."

The Peacock King pointed at the glowing gate.

"Here?"

Gu Sheng looked at the cliff in astonishment.

He didn’t expect the Peacock King’s refuge to be such an inconspicuous place.

"Yes, exactly here."

The Peacock King’s voice carried a hint of amusement.

"Let’s go!"

Saying that, the Peacock King leaped into the air.

Gu Sheng followed the Peacock King and flew inside together.

Inside, the scenery was idyllic, with mountains and water, exuding a serene air.

Gu Sheng was shocked by the sight before him.

He didn’t expect the place to be so wonderful, like an Immortal Realm.

"It’s a bit simple here, but it’s plenty safe."

The Peacock King said with some pride as he walked.

Gu Sheng scanned the surroundings, his eyes filled with admiration.

The scenery here was indeed beautiful, brimming with Spiritual Energy, making it an excellent place for cultivation.

"Peacock King, this place is truly beautiful."

Gu Sheng exclaimed.

The Peacock King chuckled, "I carefully selected this place, so naturally, it won’t be bad. Do you like it?"

"I love it, I really love it!"

Gu Sheng nodded.

"Glad you like it. I noticed Ji Hui hurt you, so you can rest and heal here."

The two of them walked to a wooden hut.

Gu Sheng nodded, "Thank you, Peacock King."

The Peacock King waved his hand, "No need to be so polite; I’m just doing what I should."

They entered the wooden hut, and Gu Sheng was surprised to find it was warm and comfortable inside.

Everything was neatly arranged, giving off a home-like feeling.

Gu Sheng approached the table, where a set of exquisite tea utensils lay, with steam rising from the teapot, indicating freshly brewed tea.

"Is this prepared for me?"

Gu Sheng asked, surprised.

"Yes, this was all prepared for you."

The Peacock King nodded.

A warm feeling surged in Gu Sheng’s heart; he didn’t expect the Peacock King to be so considerate.

"Thank you so much."

Gu Sheng expressed his gratitude again.

The Peacock King shook his head and said, "You might have misunderstood; this hut is mine, but everything inside and the tea wasn’t prepared by me."

"Oh? Then who?"

Gu Sheng grew even more curious.

"A friend of yours; he anticipated your arrival and prepared in advance."

The Peacock King said with a knowing smile.

"A friend of mine? Mine?"

Gu Sheng felt puzzled again.

He thought of his friends one by one and finally suspected Yan Ruyu.

"Could it be Yan Ruyu?"

Gu Sheng silently guessed.

"Alright, since you still have injuries, I won’t disturb you. If you need anything, you can call for me."

With that, the Peacock King turned and left.

Gu Sheng sat by the tea table and took a sip of the clear tea.

Immediately, a refreshing sensation filled his heart.

This also allowed his tired body a brief moment of rest.

Subsequently, Gu Sheng went to the bedside and sat cross-legged.

As Divine Power surged, he activated the power of "Yuan" to begin healing his body.

A few hours later, Gu Sheng’s condition improved somewhat.

Just then, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Gu Sheng listened carefully; the footsteps were different from the Peacock King’s, more like a woman’s!

Immediately, Gu Sheng stood up quickly.

"Hiss..."

Suddenly, a sharp pain hit his chest.

Gu Sheng silently suffered, realizing the impact from Ji Hui was so strong that even the restorative power of "Yuan" couldn’t completely heal it.

It seemed more time was needed.

"Creak..."

Suddenly, the wooden door of the house was gently pushed open.
