Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 838: Chapter 443: Traitor Within the Supreme Mysterious Sect

"Silly girl... Why are you so silly?"

Gu Sheng felt a mix of emotions, both moved and guilty.

Moved by Ji Ziyue’s deep feelings for him, guilty because he failed to understand the emotions in his own heart.

To him, Gu Sheng’s belongings seemed like precious artworks.

Ji Ziyue moved with great care and tenderness.

She placed a flat slab on a small hill, then gently unfolded a robe Gu Sheng once wore over it.

Hua Yunfei stood by silently, watching Ji Ziyue’s actions.

Yet there seemed to be a trace of disdain in his eyes.

Due to the distance, it wasn’t clear to see Hua Yunfei’s expression.

Once the grave was completed, Ji Ziyue stepped back and bowed deeply.

Tears glimmered in her eyes, and she no longer had her previous lively smile.

Gu Sheng couldn’t hold back any longer; he knew he couldn’t hide anymore.

He stepped out from behind the boulder and slowly walked toward Ji Ziyue and Hua Yunfei.

"Ziyue, I’m not dead yet."

Gu Sheng’s voice was a bit hoarse.

"Hmm?"

Ji Ziyue’s body shook violently.

She slowly turned and her eyes were filled with surprise.

"You... you..."

When she saw Gu Sheng’s figure, she stammered with astonishment.

"Gu Sheng, you...you’re really alive?"

Gu Sheng nodded, "Yes, I’m still alive."

At this moment, Ji Ziyue rushed over to Gu Sheng in just a few steps.

"I’m not dreaming, am I? You’re really alive?"

Ji Ziyue asked, eyes wide open.

"If you don’t believe me, touch me."

Saying this, Gu Sheng took Ji Ziyue’s warm hand and placed it on his cheek.

Feeling Gu Sheng’s warmth, Ji Ziyue couldn’t hold back her emotions any longer.

"Gu Sheng! You really... really are alive... sob, sob..."

Ji Ziyue was in tears, her eyes drenched.

Then, Gu Sheng opened his arms and embraced Ji Ziyue.

"Why cry? I’m fine, aren’t I? Unless you want me to reincarnate sooner?"

Gu Sheng teased with a playful tone.

"You’re such a tease! You’re such a tease!"

Ji Ziyue suddenly burst into laughter.

She playfully punched Gu Sheng with her fists.

At this moment, Hua Yunfei couldn’t take it any longer.

"Hey, what’s up with you? Playing dead?"

Hua Yunfei asked coldly.

Gu Sheng let go of Ji Ziyue, maintaining a smile as he said, "What? Did Ji Chi make you think I was killed?"

"Yes, then did Ji Chi..."

Hua Yunfei exclaimed in shock.

"Ji Chi is in there. You can go find him."

Gu Sheng said as he pointed to the entrance of the Fire Domain.

"You... you actually!"

Hua Yunfei pointed at Gu Sheng.

His throat felt caught, unable to speak.

Seeing Hua Yunfei like this, Gu Sheng let out a cold snort.

"Hua Yunfei, you’re a traitor to the Supreme Mysterious Sect, but I hope you’ll offer me an explanation."

Gu Sheng stated coldly.

A hint of surprise flashed on Hua Yunfei’s face, but he quickly regained his composure.

He glanced at Ji Ziyue, then at Gu Sheng, questioning, "Gu Sheng, what do you mean?"

"What do I mean? What’s the deal with the Treasure Bead of the Mystic Sect?"

Gu Sheng pressed, frowning tightly.

"You..."

Hua Yunfei froze.

"Yes, I was there at the time, you just didn’t notice me."

Gu Sheng stated directly.

Hua Yunfei paused, seeming to search for an excuse.

"Gu Sheng, you misunderstand. I did hide some things from you, but I’m not a traitor."

"Then what’s the deal with the Treasure Bead?"

Gu Sheng asked pointedly again.

Hua Yunfei was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "It’s a long story, but please believe me, everything I did was to protect the Supreme Mysterious Sect."

Gu Sheng frowned, unsure if he should trust Hua Yunfei’s words.

But he knew that the priority was to protect Ji Ziyue and find the Treasure Bead.

"Hua Yunfei, if there’s more to this story, then hand over the Treasure Bead now."

Gu Sheng said, extending his hand.

"Sigh..."

With a sigh, Hua Yunfei retrieved an embroidered box from his robes and handed it to Gu Sheng.

"In that case, please keep it safe."

Gu Sheng took the box, full of doubt.

He hadn’t expected Hua Yunfei to hand over the Treasure Bead so readily.

His instincts told him something must be amiss!

Gu Sheng opened the box cautiously, only to find an ordinary stone inside!

"Not good!"

Gu Sheng’s heart lurched with sudden alarm.

Just then, Hua Yunfei attacked, aiming a palm strike at Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng reacted swiftly, dodging aside and launching a counterattack.

However, Hua Yunfei seemed to anticipate his move and evaded easily.

"Hua Yunfei, what do you mean by this?"

Gu Sheng pointed at the fallen box and asked coldly.

"Gu Sheng, you’re too naive. The value of the Treasure Bead is beyond your imagination."

Hua Yunfei smirked cunningly.

"If that’s the case, don’t blame me for being impolite."

With those words, Gu Sheng invoked his divine power.

The tension between them instantly escalated, and the air seemed to thicken.

On the other side, Hua Yunfei also began to channel his divine power, intent on killing Gu Sheng.

"Whoosh!"

Hua Yunfei struck first.

His palm winds were fierce, like a forceful torrent.

Gu Sheng responded quickly, but Hua Yunfei’s relentless attack was overwhelming.

After a few exchanges, Gu Sheng could only barely defend himself.

"Clang, clang, clang..."
