Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 837: Chapter 442: Mystic Sect Treasure Bead (2)

This black aura surged, instantly forming a massive black net.

The net seemed to have a spiritual intelligence, directly trapping Hua Yunfei and the white-robed cultivator tightly.

"Yunfei, quickly use your Divine Skills!"

The white-robed cultivator urged anxiously, a trace of urgency flashing in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Hua Yunfei’s heart tightened, knowing this was their only chance of survival.

Hua Yunfei took a deep breath and formed seals with his hands.

"Swish!"

A powerful force surged from within him.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"

This power was like tens of thousands of flying daggers, instantly charging towards the black net released by the black-clothed man.

"Break!"

Hua Yunfei shouted loudly.

Just like that, the two of them broke through the encirclement of the black-clothed man and escaped forward with the white-robed cultivator.

However, the black-clothed man would not let them go easily.

With a flicker, he instantly appeared behind Hua Yunfei and the white-robed cultivator.

"Stop! Leave the items behind!"

The black-clothed man shouted angrily, waving his hands as streams of black air surged out.

Soon, black arrows shot towards Hua Yunfei and the white-robed cultivator.

Seeing this, Hua Yunfei and the white-robed cultivator clenched their hands and their energy exploded.

In an instant, a golden glowing defensive shield appeared around their bodies.

The black arrows shot by the black-clothed man all struck the outside of the shield, clinking and clanging as they fell to the ground.

Then those sharp swords turned into black air and dissipated into the air.

"You... you..."

The black-clothed man watched, his eyes showing fear.

He did not expect Hua Yunfei and the white-robed cultivator to be so powerful together.

However, just then, several dazzling rays of light descended from the sky, instantly surrounding the black-clothed man.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"

Suddenly, Hua Yunfei and the others surged their Divine Power.

Streams of icy coldness flew fiercely towards the black-clothed man.

Seeing this, the black-clothed man frowned and instantly surged his Divine Power to resist.

But how could he alone withstand the combined attack of several people like Hua Yunfei and the others?

After only a few rounds, the black-clothed man’s Divine Power was suppressed, leaving him completely defenseless.

"Boom!"

A surge of Sword Qi attacked, and the black-clothed man was sent flying...

At this moment, he fell heavily like a kite with a broken string.

"Puh!"

He suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face pale, barely breathing.

Hua Yunfei and the white-robed cultivator watched with a hint of regret in their hearts.

"Alas... why bother?"

The white-robed cultivator sighed.

"Quickly go, we cannot stay here!"

Hua Yunfei whispered urgently.

"Hmm!"

The white-robed cultivator nodded and turned to leave.

Then, Gu Sheng, who had just witnessed everything, walked out from a corner.

"Senior, senior, are you okay?"

Gu Sheng asked nervously.

"They... they robbed... robbed the Treasure Bead of the Mystic Sect, quickly... quickly..."

The black-clothed man pointed in the direction where Hua Yunfei and the others left, speaking hesitantly.

"Treasure Bead of the Mystic Sect?"

Gu Sheng froze.

He had previously heard Li Ruoyu mention that the Treasure Bead of the Mystic Sect was the Spirit Vein Pearl of the Supreme Mysterious Sect.

If this bead was stolen, the sect’s energy veins would be severely damaged.

At that time, the Supreme Mysterious Sect could face a disaster.

Suddenly, several rainbow lights flashed by.

Gu Sheng looked carefully, it was his former protector, Senior Li Ruoyu.

"Senior?"

Gu Sheng was startled.

Since leaving the Supreme Mysterious Sect, he had always remembered Li Ruoyu.

In this space, there were indeed few people who treated him so well.

"Gu Sheng, why are you here?"

Li Ruoyu was also surprised.

"I secretly followed the people of the Ji family here, not expecting them to be here to steal the Treasure Bead of the Mystic Sect."

Gu Sheng explained, then pointed at the black-clothed man beside him, saying: "If you don’t believe me, you can ask them."

"Senior Brother Li, quickly... quickly... the Bead was... was... Hua Yunfei..."

The man in black spoke intermittently.

Seeing this, Li Ruoyu quickly stepped forward to block his acupoints and said, "Don’t speak, save your strength."

Then, he sat cross-legged and began to channel Divine Power into the man in black to sustain his life.

"Senior, it’s Hua Yunfei. He... he might be a traitor from the Supreme Mysterious Sect!"

Gu Sheng squatted beside Li Ruoyu, who was transferring Divine Power, and said somewhat angrily.

"Hmm, I had a feeling about this for a long time."

Li Ruoyu nodded and then said, "It’s too late to notify the other Spirit Peak disciples now, Gu Sheng, you represent Zhuo Peak, quickly pursue Hua Yunfei, and you must retrieve the Mystic Sect’s Treasure Bead."

"Yes! Disciple takes the order!"

Gu Sheng responded, instantly surging with Divine Power.

A divine rainbow flew by, heading straight in the direction where Hua Yunfei disappeared.

Gu Sheng followed Hua Yunfei’s tracks, rushing all the way.

But Hua Yunfei seemed to be prepared, leaving very few traces along the way.

Even the fluctuations of Divine Power were hardly used.

Gu Sheng chased for a long time but never found Hua Yunfei’s group.

Although anxious at this moment, he couldn’t pursue blindly.

At this critical moment, he must remain calm and look for clues.

Soon, Gu Sheng flew above a metropolis.

Having traveled several thousand miles, Gu Sheng was already parched.

Subsequently, he landed on the ground, and in a teahouse, he suddenly heard some news.

"In a few days, someone from the Ji family will be heading to the Fire Domain for a memorial."

"Who? To commemorate whom?"

"You don’t know this? It seems to be in memory of that youngster who was at odds with the Ji Hui Ancestor before."

Gu Sheng felt a stir in his heart and could basically guess they were going to memorialize himself.

Ji Ziyue must have thought he met an unfortunate end in the Fire Domain, so she went to pay her respects.

Moreover, it wasn’t just Ji Ziyue who believed he was dead; Ji Hui, Hua Yunfei, and the others must think so too.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t let Ji Ziyue do this.

A flash of insight struck Gu Sheng, speculating that Hua Yunfei might also go to the Fire Domain.

Because if he wanted to pursue Ji Ziyue, he would undoubtedly have to sacrifice his time.

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng decided to head to the Fire Domain one step ahead and wait there.

After satisfying his hunger and thirst, Gu Sheng soared into the air, reaching the edge of the Fire Domain in advance.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the sky over the Fire Domain gradually dimmed.

The afterglow of the setting sun cast a mysterious hue over the steaming land, adding a touch of mystique to this sea of fire.

At this moment, two familiar figures appeared in Gu Sheng’s sight.

Hua Yunfei, he really came, and he wasn’t alone.

Beside him stood a woman dressed in purple.

That was Ji Ziyue.

It was the same Ji Ziyue who could unexpectedly bring an ache to Gu Sheng’s heart.

At this moment, her face carried a faint sadness, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand, with a bundle on her back.

Obviously, she was here to pay her respects.

Gu Sheng did not immediately reveal himself but hid behind a huge rock, observing their every move.

He planned to wait for the best opportunity to capture Hua Yunfei in one fell swoop.

Hua Yunfei and Ji Ziyue walked slowly outside of the Fire Domain, seemingly looking for something.

Gu Sheng pondered quietly, wanting to see what they were up to.

Gu Sheng held his breath, concentrating intently on every movement of Hua Yunfei and Ji Ziyue.

He saw what seemed to be tears in Ji Ziyue’s eyes.

Beside her, Hua Yunfei was whispering words of comfort.

The two of them...

They really looked like a couple.

"Damn it... Hua Yunfei, damn you’re good at hiding what you are!"

Gu Sheng cursed silently in his heart.

Then, they arrived at a clearing right at the edge of the Fire Domain.

Ji Ziyue stopped, looking around, seemingly searching for something.

Finally, she fixed her gaze on a small hill with higher ground.

"Sigh..."

Ji Ziyue sighed lightly, pointing to an empty space in front of her.

Hua Yunfei then started to clear the surrounding weeds and stones.

"What are they planning to do?"

Gu Sheng observed with some doubt.

Soon, Hua Yunfei had dug a pit several feet deep in front of him.

Ji Ziyue nodded, taking out a package she carried.

When she opened it, Gu Sheng was immediately stunned.

Those... turned out to be his belongings left behind at the Supreme Mysterious Sect!

"She is..."

Gu Sheng’s heart was suddenly seized.

He suddenly realized that Ji Ziyue was making a cenotaph for him!
