Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 843: Chapter 445: A Well-Laid Scheme Wins Hearts

"Gu Sheng, you did well!"

Qing Feng said with delight, stepping forward, intending to claim the inner core for himself.

Gu Sheng understood the importance of this inner core and quickly retreated two steps back.

"What?"

Qing Feng frowned slightly, showing some displeasure.

"What about the promise to let me cross the void?"

Gu Sheng asked coldly.

"Haha, that’s easy. I promise you, I’ll take you across the void ahead of time."

Qing Feng said with a smile.

Gu Sheng’s heart rejoiced.

But before he could celebrate for a few seconds, Qing Feng proposed another demand: "However, I need you to help me find more Dragon Spirit Jade."

"Hmm?"

Gu Sheng was surprised; this was exactly what the illusionist had said!

He immediately understood that Qing Feng was deliberately using him.

Realizing this, Gu Sheng’s mood became complicated.

If he agreed to Qing Feng, then the illusionist’s clan would face annihilation.

If he did not agree, Qing Feng would cancel his qualification to cross the void, and even the Dragon Spirit Jade would be confiscated!

Weighing the pros and cons, Gu Sheng said solemnly: "Senior Qing Feng, I cannot agree to your request."

"What did you say?"

Qing Feng’s face darkened, surprised that Gu Sheng would refuse him.

"Gu Sheng, are you really rejecting me? If you don’t agree, then you can forget about crossing the void, and this Dragon Spirit Jade, I won’t return it to you either."

Qing Feng said coldly.

"Ugh..."

Gu Sheng felt helpless inside.

He knew that if he did not agree to Qing Feng, his dream would never be realized.

"Think about it, this is the opportunity to cross the void; if you don’t meet my requirements, you will never be able to cross the void!"

Qing Feng reminded him from the side.

Gu Sheng was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Senior Qing Feng, I need time to prepare."

"Fine, I’ll give you time, but don’t make me wait too long."

Qing Feng’s expression relaxed slightly, nodding in agreement.

Gu Sheng acknowledged and then swiftly flew away.

Soon, Gu Sheng found the illusionist and returned the inner core to him.

"Senior, returning to the rightful owner."

The illusionist looked at Gu Sheng, his eyes full of admiration.

"Young friend, you truly came back."

The illusionist took the inner core, his voice somewhat trembling.

"Yes, I have returned."

Gu Sheng nodded, then said, "I can’t sacrifice your whole clan for my own gain."

The illusionist nodded emotionally.

After a long time, he spoke: "You are a trustworthy friend, a breath of fresh air in the East Desolation."

"Senior’s praise is too much. I’m just an ordinary person wanting to cross the void."

Gu Sheng said with a faint smile.

"What do you plan to do next?"

The illusionist asked.

"I’m not sure, at worst I won’t cross the void."

Gu Sheng shrugged, displaying a righteous demeanor.

"No! I have a way that can help you cross the void."

The illusionist said.

"Oh? What way?"

Gu Sheng’s interest was immediately piqued.

"You could pretend to lead people from the Carefree Gate to search for Dragon Spirit Jade, then kill him, and secretly get the nomination, what do you say?"

The illusionist suggested to Gu Sheng.

"You mean, to kill the guy who asked me to find the Dragon Spirit Jade?"

Gu Sheng asked wide-eyed.

"Exactly."

The illusionist nodded, then said: "If you feel your abilities aren’t enough, I and my clan can help you."

"This..."

Gu Sheng fell into contemplation.

If that’s the case, by pretending Qing Feng hasn’t returned to the Carefree Gate yet, he could have other cultivators from Carefree Gate help him cross the void.

As for Qing Feng, so greedy, deserves death!

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng nodded: "Alright, I agree with you!"

"Good!"

The illusionist nodded excitedly.

Then, Gu Sheng stoked his divine power and flew back to Carefree Gate.

When Gu Sheng returned to Carefree Gate, Qing Feng was already waiting there with several cultivators from Carefree Gate.

Gu Sheng looked at these cultivators, they were all in the Divine Bridge Realm.

If it were a one-on-one fight, none of them were his match.

However, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake.

If they all attacked at once, it could be difficult to handle.

Luckily, he had the illusionist clan to support him, or else Gu Sheng wouldn’t have much confidence.

"You’re back?"

Qing Feng stepped forward and asked.

Gu Sheng nodded: "Yes, Brother Qing Feng."

"There’s no time to waste, let’s quickly find the Dragon Spirit Jade, or it will delay your crossing of the void."

Qing Feng acted as if he was intentionally considering Gu Sheng’s interests.

"Alright, let’s go."

Gu Sheng nodded.

Then, under Gu Sheng’s lead, Qing Feng and three Divine Bridge Realm cultivators set up a divine rainbow and flew into the distance.

Soon, Gu Sheng and his group arrived above the territory of the illusionist.

Qing Feng looked down, suddenly stunned.

"Why did you bring us here?"

Qing Feng asked coldly.

"To find Dragon Spirit Jade, of course?"

Gu Sheng replied with a smile.

"Brother, this kid’s no good!"

"Yeah, kill him, so we don’t waste everyone’s time."

"I think this kid is deliberately toying with us!"

The other cultivators said coldly.

After a brief moment of thinking, Qing Feng snorted coldly.

"Hmph! Gu Sheng, I’ll give you one last chance, take us to find the Dragon Spirit Jade now, or I will kill you here!"

"Haha..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng couldn’t help but laugh.

"Kill me? Go ahead!"

Gu Sheng finished speaking, and a dozen illusionists suddenly rose into the air, coming to Gu Sheng’s side.

"What! It’s the illusionists! Quickly, run!"

At Qing Feng’s command, they immediately turned and fled.

But how could these illusionists give them the chance to escape?

The illusionists surrounded Qing Feng and his group.

Qing Feng was shocked, a nameless fear surging in his heart.

But upon taking a closer look, he recognized one of the illusionists, his deceased brother Qingmu.

At this moment, Qingmu’s eyes showed intense anger that seemed ready to ignite.

"Why did you deceive me back then?"

Qingmu coldly questioned.

Qing Feng’s face turned pale, knowing that he had concealed some truths for his own benefit back then.

Now facing his senior brother turned illusionist’s questions, he was at a loss for words.

He could only lower his head in shame.

"Qing Feng, why did you betray us?"

Qingmu asked again.

At the same time, his longsword pointed at Qing Feng, the tip aimed directly at his throat.

Qing Feng did not answer, knowing that he had nowhere to retreat and had to face it head-on.

"Swish!"

Suddenly, he quickly drew his sword from his waist and rushed towards Qingmu.

"Clang clang clang!"

Both sides’ sword moves intertwined, Sword Qi permeating, as if igniting the surrounding air.

Meanwhile, the other illusionists and the disciples brought by Qing Feng from Carefree Gate also clashed.

Qingmu, as a master among illusionists, had sharp swordsmanship, with each move filled with revengeful killing intent.

While Qing Feng, psychologically dishonest, seemed weak against Qingmu, such a strong adversary.

At this moment, Gu Sheng suddenly intervened.

"Swish!"

His figure flickered, instantly appearing beside Qing Feng.

"Boom!"

He unleashed a Void Palm from the Great Void Skill, striking at Qingmu.

Qingmu did not expect Gu Sheng to strike at this moment, quickly retracted his longsword, and engaged Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng’s strength was formidable, especially when using the Great Void Skill, catching one off guard.

"Clang clang clang!"

Qing Feng retreated several steps, almost stumbling.

Seizing this opportunity, Qingmu found a chance to attack.

He wielded his sword towards Qing Feng, piercing Qing Feng’s arm.

"Puchi!"

Blood flowed immediately.

"Ah!!!"

Qing Feng screamed miserably, his face turning pale, sweat streaming from his forehead.

"Qing Feng, don’t you want to surrender yet?"

Qingmu asked coldly.

Qing Feng gritted his teeth, knowing he couldn’t drag this out any longer, or they all would perish here.

He took a deep breath, concentrating, preparing for a final blow.
