Chapter 904: Chapter 476: Qingxia Mountain Range
"Er Gou! He actually got captured?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng immediately felt a surge of anger.
It’s important to know, although Er Gou may seem somewhat simple-minded,
his character is second to none.
Moreover, Gu Sheng received a lot of help from him.
Now, upon hearing that he had been captured, Gu Sheng couldn’t help but feel anxious.
"We must rescue Er Gou!"
Gu Sheng said, clenching his fist.
Others in the council room also nodded in agreement.
"Xiao Sheng, do you have a plan?"
Elder Shi asked.
Gu Sheng nodded, "We need to find where Chen Dahu is hiding and rescue the captured Er Gou."
Hope flashed in Master Zhang’s eyes, "Are you confident?"
"With your support, I am confident."
Gu Sheng said solemnly.
The atmosphere in the council room was instantly ignited, everyone was full of fighting spirit.
"Great! With Xiao Sheng joining, we are sure to win!"
"Yes! Xiao Sheng is truly a godsend!"
They knew that with Gu Sheng joining, the odds for Stone Village increased greatly.
"But..."
At this moment, Elder Shi suddenly spoke.
Gu Sheng looked at Elder Shi and asked, "Elder, but what?"
"But the other villages simply can’t help, and they are all afraid of retaliation from Chen Dahu."
Elder Shi said, with a look filled with worry.
Gu Sheng chuckled slightly, "Is that it?"
"Wha... what?"
Seeing Gu Sheng so composed, Elder Shi was surprised.
"I thought it was something big, but we don’t really need them. Besides, isn’t today’s society all about watching from the sidelines?"
Gu Sheng said, sweeping his gaze over everyone.
Hearing Gu Sheng’s words, everyone fell into deep thought.
At this time, Master Zhang cleared his throat and said to one of his men, "Go! Bring wine! I want to toast Xiao Sheng with a bowl of wine."
"Yes!"
That man responded and immediately ran to the side.
Soon, the scent of wine wafted through the air, and Master Zhang brought a full bowl of clear wine to Gu Sheng.
"Xiao Sheng, it must be fate that we met. This time, we rely on you."
Master Zhang said, holding the bowl of wine with both hands in front of Gu Sheng.
"Master Zhang, you’re too kind."
After saying this, Gu Sheng took the wine bowl and drank it in one go.
Suddenly, Gu Sheng remembered Senior Zhang Tianxing, so he asked, "Old Zhang, do you know about Zhang Tianxing?"
Upon hearing this name, Master Zhang’s expression changed drastically.
His eyes revealed a look of shock, which quickly turned into deep respect.
"Xiao... Xiao Sheng, how do you know this name?"
Master Zhang’s voice trembled a little.
"Oh, it’s nothing, just asking."
Gu Sheng said with a faint smile.
"Gulp!"
Master Zhang swallowed heavily, calming himself before saying, "Zhang Tianxing is the ancestor of the Zhang family. Legend has it he brought the ’Seeking Origin Heavenly Book’ into the Divine Mountain and was never heard from again. How did you hear about him?"
Gu Sheng was also startled to see Master Zhang’s reaction.
But he quickly calmed himself and said slowly, "I encountered Senior Zhang Tianxing in the Divine Mountain. He not only showed me the wonders of the ’Seeking Origin Heavenly Book’ but also helped me break through a bottleneck, allowing me to emerge from the mountain’s crevice."
"Ah?"
A glint of light flashed in Master Zhang’s eyes, "Did the ancestor... did he tell you anything about the peerless divine Source?"
"What is the peerless divine Source?"
Gu Sheng shook his head and asked back.
"Phew..."
Master Zhang took a deep breath, collecting his thoughts before saying slowly, "The peerless divine Source is the most mystical refined ore in the ancient desolation. It absorbs the essence of the heavens and earth, having gone through countless ages of sedimentation, containing the mysteries of the universe. Legend has it that obtaining the peerless divine Source allows one to control the power of the entire ancient desolation, maybe even glimpse the secrets of the Immortal Realm."
"What! The Immortal Realm?"
Gu Sheng was dumbfounded.
He had never imagined such a mystical existence could be in the world.
If it’s as Master Zhang said, wouldn’t he have a chance to become immortal?
"Then where is this peerless divine Source now?"
Gu Sheng asked eagerly.
"Sigh..."
Master Zhang sighed, a look of helplessness in his eyes.
"This is the crux of the issue, the whereabouts of the peerless divine Source have long been a mystery. Countless strong people have sacrificed their lives to find it, yet no one has seen its true form to this day."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng felt a stirring in his heart.
He recollected all the experiences he had in the Divine Mountain, as if there was some connection to the peerless divine Source.
"Master Zhang, do you think Senior Zhang Tianxing has already found the peerless divine Source?"
Gu Sheng asked with impatience.
Master Zhang was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "I don’t know, the ancestor never came out after entering the Divine Mountain, but I believe the ancestor must know something."
"Makes sense."
Gu Sheng nodded, having made up his mind.
Then he turned to Elder Shi and Master Zhang and said, "Gentlemen, I plan to first rescue Er Gou, then re-enter the Divine Mountain to explore the secret of the peerless divine Source."
Elder Shi nodded, a hint of admiration in his gaze, "Xiao Sheng, your courage and determination are admirable. I will have Shi Lou and Shi Shanlin from the village accompany you. They know Chen Dahu and are agile."
"Thank you, Elder Shi."
Gu Sheng said gratefully.
"Lou, Shanlin!"
Elder Shi said sternly.
"Here!"
Suddenly, two spirited young men appeared from the council room.
"Tomorrow you will go with Xiao Sheng to rescue Er Gou. Remember, be cautious in all matters!"
Elder Shi instructed.
"Yes!"
They both replied at the same time.
After a night of rest, the next day, Gu Sheng set out with Shi Lou and Shi Shanlin, heading towards the area where Chen Dahu was located.
