Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 885: Chapter 466: The Holy Daughter’s Boyfriend

He was aware of the value of the refined ore, and also understood the danger Tu Fei would face because of it.

He then turned immediately to Elder Li Yuan and said, "We must find Tu Fei and retrieve that piece of refined ore."

Elder Li Yuan nodded, "Indeed, the appearance of the refined ore is sure to attract the attention of significant figures. We must act cautiously."

Gu Sheng looked up.

Looking into the distance, it seemed that Tu Fei had already left the barrier of the mining area.

As for where he went, only a ghost would know.

"Elder, in this vast Northern Territory, where should we search for him?"

Gu Sheng’s expression was speechless.

Elder Li Yuan also sighed, "Ah! This Tu Fei, really..."

After speaking, Elder Li Yuan said to Gu Sheng, "Xiao Sheng, watch over this mining area while I summon other practitioners from the Shaking Light Sacred Land. Remember, no one is allowed to enter the mine without my orders."

"Yes!"

Gu Sheng replied.

Afterwards, Elder Li Yuan walked towards his abode.

He knew the situation was urgent and actions needed to be taken immediately.

He then began to prepare to perform the Summoning Skill.

This was a unique spell of the Shaking Light Sacred Land, able to summon the Holy Master of Shaking Light Sacred Land on the spot.

He retrieved an ancient Token from his bosom, a Holy Artifact of the Shaking Light Sacred Land, possessing inexhaustible Shaking Light power.

Elder Li Yuan placed the Token on the altar in front of him and started chanting the summoning spell.

"..."

Elder Li Yuan’s voice was only a whisper on his lips.

His expression was solemn, and he appeared authoritative.

As the chant progressed, the Token on the altar began to emit a dazzling light.

The light grew increasingly bright, finally forming a Light Gate.

Subsequently, the Token flew straight into the Light Gate and disappeared.

Seeing this, Gu Sheng approached Elder Li Yuan.

"Elder, what was that just now?"

"It was a summoning of the Holy Master. The Earth Core Tower can only be approached by the Holy Master. If we try, it would only mean death."

Elder Li Yuan said with a profound expression.

"How long until the Holy Master arrives?"

Gu Sheng continued to ask.

"It should be around this time in three days."

The Shaking Light Saint said, looking towards the Southern Domain.

A sense of unease washed over Gu Sheng.

If the Shaking Light Saintess Yao Xi were to come, things would not bode well.

However, in this barren Northern Territory, what would bring the noble Shaking Light Saintess here?

Reassured, Gu Sheng followed the other miners back to rest.

The three days passed quickly.

Approaching the time Elder Li Yuan mentioned, Gu Sheng, along with the other miners, had already gone outside to wait.

By this time, Xiao Long, a practitioner from Shaking Light Sacred Land, had almost fully recovered.

Yet, just when everyone expected the Shaking Light Saint to appear, there was no movement.

Impatient, Gu Sheng asked, "Elder, was there a mistake?"

"Yes, Elder, where did your Token go?"

"Could it have gotten lost?"

Some miners also teased on the side.

In contrast to the miners’ amusement, Elder Li Yuan looked stern.

"No way! I trust in my own capabilities."

Elder Li Yuan stood firmly in place, appearing quite confident.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

As soon as Elder Li Yuan’s words fell, several streaks of rainbow light appeared.

They saw the Shaking Light Saint riding the rainbow light, arriving in the sky above the Northern Territory.

"Is it her?"

To Gu Sheng’s surprise, the Shaking Light Saintess Yao Xi was among them.

"And him too?"

Even more surprising to Gu Sheng was that Tu Fei was tied up, evidently captured by people from Shaking Light Sacred Land.

The group landed on the ground, directly pushing Tu Fei to the ground.

Seeing this, Elder Li Yuan stepped forward and rebuked, "Tu Fei, do you admit your guilt?"

Tu Fei, bound, had a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Elder, I was wrong. I’m willing to hand over the refined ore. I just ask the Sacred Land for forgiveness."

Tu Fei said with a mournful face.

Elder Li Yuan glanced at the Shaking Light Saint, and the Shaking Light Saint nodded, indicating forgiveness could be granted to Tu Fei.

Only then did Elder Li Yuan say to Tu Fei, "Tu Fei, since you are willing to hand over the refined ore, the Sacred Land can give you a chance. But you must promise not to make such mistakes again in the future."

Tu Fei hurriedly nodded, "I promise, I will never make such a mistake again."

Shaking Light Saintess Yao Xi stepped forward and said sternly, "Tu Fei, from now on, you will become a slave of Shaking Light Sacred Land, remember, for life!"

"What?"

Tu Fei froze upon hearing this.

Then he saw Gu Sheng in the crowd.

"Boss! Boss! Say something for me, your connection with the Saintess is so close, you can’t ignore me now!"

Tu Fei yelled towards Gu Sheng in the crowd.

Gu Sheng was speechless.

He had intended to avoid the Shaking Light Saintess; everything was going so smoothly.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Tu Fei exposed him.

A cold glint appeared in Yao Xi’s eyes.

She stared at Tu Fei coldly and demanded, "Who are you calling?"

Tu Fei felt Yao Xi’s anger, but he knew Gu Sheng was his lifeline.

Helplessly, he could only grit his teeth and say, "The Saintess’s boyfriend!"

"What!"

Yao Xi’s face turned even more irritable.

She immediately stirred up her divine power and struck at Tu Fei with a mighty blow.

"Bam!"

Tu Fei was nearly hit to the point of spitting blood.

"Why did you say that?"

Shaking Light Saintess interrogated once more.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Tu Fei coughed heavily a few times, then quickly explained, "The one who took your hairpin is right here!"

As soon as the words were out, Gu Sheng felt countless gazes fixate on him.

"You son of a...! Tu Fei, you’re worthless!"

Gu Sheng cursed internally, knowing he could no longer hide.

"Gu Sheng!"

Yao Xi noticed Gu Sheng in the crowd and called out coldly.

Gu Sheng knew he could no longer deny it.

He could only nod, "Saintess, you’re here too."

"Hmph!"

Yao Xi snorted coldly, "I wondered why I couldn’t find you in the Southern Domain, so you’re hiding here."

"I... I was captured and brought here."

Gu Sheng forced a smile.

"Captured? That’s a nice way to put it! Since you’ve run into me today, I’ll let you know what it means for a gentleman to seek revenge even ten years later!"

With that, Yao Xi leapt forward.

Just then, a clap of thunder boomed across the sky.

The deafening sound froze everyone present.

The overwhelming noise felt like it had torn the whole space apart.

Looking intently, they saw two figures descending from the sky, it was Peacock King and Green Dragon King.

A cold smile graced Peacock King’s face, and his gaze swept over Gu Sheng and Yao Xi, "Yao Xi, what are you doing? Do you not know that Gu Sheng is a friend of us Peacock King?"

Yao Xi’s expression changed, her movement hesitated.

She knew Peacock King’s prowess and was aware of his friendship with Gu Sheng.

"Peacock King, this is an affair of the Shaking Light Sacred Land; it is not your place to interfere."

Yao Xi said coldly.

Peacock King let out a cold chuckle, "Yao Xi, are you challenging my bottom line? Your old man hasn’t even said anything yet, you’re far too young."

With that, Peacock King glanced towards the Shaking Light Saint.

The Shaking Light Saint’s face fell slightly, not expecting Peacock King to challenge Yao Xi’s bottom line so directly.

He gave a light cough in an attempt to quell the tense atmosphere.

"Peacock King, as an outsider, it would be wise not to meddle excessively in the internal matters of Shaking Light Sacred Land."

Peacock King, however, appeared indifferent, his gaze drifting over the Shaking Light Saint.

"Shaking Light Saint, though I may not belong to Shaking Light Sacred Land, my bond with Gu Sheng is one of life and death, and now that he’s in trouble, I naturally stand up to help. As for boundaries, I, Peacock King, have always done whatever I please. If matters concerning Shaking Light Sacred Land interest me, I naturally will interfere."

"You..."

Yao Xi’s expression turned more unpleasant.

She knew Peacock King’s words were not mere bravado, and his strength allowed such confidence.
