Chapter 968: Chapter 508: Soul Refining Cave
The Fire Spirit Dagger appeared in his hand again, this time, burning with a raging golden flame, exuding a terrifying aura.
"Puchi!"
The Fire Spirit Dagger pierced through Qing Feng’s heart without any hindrance.
Qing Feng’s eyes widened, filled with unwillingness and fear. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately couldn’t. His body slowly fell to the ground, losing all vitality.
Gu Sheng didn’t spare a glance at Qing Feng’s corpse, turning his gaze to the Qingxia Sect disciples trembling in fear from a distance.
"You all must die too!"
He walked towards those disciples step by step, each step seemed to tread on their hearts, making them feel suffocated with fear.
"No... don’t kill us! We are willing to submit!"
One disciple knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"Too late!" Gu Sheng’s eyes revealed lethal intent, the Fire Spirit Dagger transformed into streaks of golden light, harvesting lives mercilessly.
The valley echoed with screams and pleas for mercy, which soon returned to silence.
Gu Sheng stood amidst the pool of blood, his body covered in fresh blood, resembling a God of Slaughter.
Gu Sheng took a deep breath, the dense smell of blood in the valley made him feel slightly uncomfortable.
He was not a bloodthirsty person, but these people deserved to die. He understood the principle of eradicating the weeds to prevent their regrowth.
He walked to Qing Feng’s corpse, squatted down, and unceremoniously took off the storage ring from Qing Feng’s finger.
His Divine Sense probed inside, and Gu Sheng’s lips couldn’t help but curl upward slightly.
As expected of someone from Qingxia Sect, the contents of this storage ring were quite abundant.
Apart from a mountain of Spirit Stones, there were various Elixir Pills, Magic Artifacts, and talismans, even some rare herbs.
Gu Sheng transferred all these items to his own storage ring, then proceeded to other disciples’ corpses, stripping them of their storage rings as well.
"Tsk tsk, Qingxia Sect is truly overflowing with riches." Gu Sheng murmured to himself, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
Apart from Spirit Stones and various cultivation resources, Gu Sheng discovered a secret manual named "Qingxia Sword Skill." This manual contained the sect’s treasured Swordsmanship, powerful and coveted by the disciples.
Gu Sheng flipped through a few pages, finding the sword technique indeed exquisite, far surpassing any sword technique he had practiced before.
"Looks like the harvest this time is quite fruitful."
Gu Sheng safely stored the manual, preparing to study it carefully later.
Gu Sheng’s gaze swept across the corpses strewn on the ground, finally resting on an inconspicuous disciple.
This disciple was in tattered clothes, already lifeless, but a green Token at his waist caught Gu Sheng’s attention.
"Qingxia Token, with this, infiltrating Qingxia Sect will be much easier."
Gu Sheng let out a cold chuckle, pocketing the Token. Among the assortment of items in the storage rings, a Jade Scroll caught his attention.
Probing it with his Divine Sense, the Jade Scroll surprisingly documented Qingxia Sect’s secrets, including some unknown training locations.
"Interesting..."
Gu Sheng’s lips curled into a mischievous smile. These pieces of information were crucial to his upcoming plans.
He organized the spoils of battle, then approached Er Gou and Shi Lou, who were leaning against an ancient tree recovering.
"Take these Spirit Stones, and train well in the Divine Wood Forest, strive to break through soon."
Gu Sheng distributed part of the Spirit Stones to the two, keeping only a few for contingencies.
Er Gou accepted the Spirit Stones, grinning to reveal a set of big white teeth: "Brother Sheng, rest assured, I will train hard and serve you tirelessly in the future!"
Shi Lou appeared much more composed, cupping his hands in gratitude: "Brother Gu, your great kindness, Shi Lou cannot forget as long as I live."
Gu Sheng patted their shoulders, saying: "Between us brothers, no need for thanks. The Spiritual Energy in the Divine Wood Forest is abundant, a great place for cultivating. I have some matters to attend to, stay here and train at ease, I will return."
Saying this, Gu Sheng did not linger, his figure flashed and disappeared into the dense forest.
His current destination was Qingxia Sect.
With the Qingxia Token, he could easily infiltrate and take revenge for the villagers of Stone Village.
According to the secrets recorded in the Jade Scroll, there was a forbidden zone behind Qingxia Sect’s Mountain, called "Soul Refining Cave."
There they imprisoned disciples who made mistakes over the generations, as well as Qingxia Sect’s enemies, leaving them to suffer terribly, worse than death.
If all those people were released... Qingxia Sect would surely face disaster!
And that was precisely what Gu Sheng wanted to see.
As night fell, Gu Sheng silently infiltrated Qingxia Sect.
Dressed in the attire of a Qingxia Sect disciple and armed with the Qingxia Token, he proceeded unobstructed.
Soon, he arrived at the forbidden zone at the back of the mountain.
The entrance of Soul Refining Cave was shrouded in a light, black mist, eerie and terrifying, chilling to the bone.
The entrance to the cave was hidden behind a massive stone, a cold wind howled around, and the air was filled with a nauseating stench of blood.
Gu Sheng took a deep breath, held it, and retrieved a Luminous Pearl he had stripped from a deceased Qingxia Sect disciple, its faint glow illuminated the scene before him.
The entrance was a pitch-black hole, resembling a giant beast waiting in the dark to devour anyone.
Gu Sheng did not hesitate, leaping into the cave.
Inside, it was damper and colder than expected, with slippery stone steps underfoot, each step echoing with the sound of water droplets.
Gu Sheng cautiously descended, the light from the Luminous Pearl only illuminated a few feet around, beyond that lay impenetrable darkness, seemingly hiding countless unknown dangers.
