Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 986: Chapter 517: Huang Shan’s Murder

In the dead of night, Gu Sheng stood watch alone over Stone Village, allowing the others to rest peacefully.

To ensure everyone’s safety, he patrolled every half hour.

After completing a round, another half hour had passed.

After patrolling several times, Gu Sheng suddenly stopped at a certain spot.

After surveying his surroundings, he fixed his gaze steadily on the northwest direction, watching for a long time.

When a faint light appeared on the horizon, he turned and headed straight northwest.

Suddenly, a tree shook without any wind.

Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly and rushed behind the tree.

The person, realizing they had been exposed, tried to flee, but Gu Sheng gave them no chance. With a leap, he landed behind the tree and grabbed the person’s collar.

Feeling the restraint, the person instinctively fought back.

A surge of divine power came at Gu Sheng, who dodged by shifting his body and tightened his grip.

Taking advantage of the opponent not launching another attack, he suddenly exerted force, grabbed the opponent’s hair, and pulled it down hard, making the person kneel to the ground with a thud.

Seizing the opportunity, Gu Sheng flipped a kick into the person’s belly.

The person cried out in pain, their body curling like a shrimp and rolling on the ground.

Sharp-eyed, Gu Sheng spotted their token and immediately tore it off.

When he saw the characters for Purple Mist Peak, he felt an extreme headache.

"Are you from Purple Mist Peak?"

After he asked, the person did not respond.

Gu Sheng bound them with divine power, then surveyed the surroundings.

After thoroughly checking, he found only this one person in the woods.

For a moment, he felt something was amiss.

"Did Purple Mist Peak send only you this time?"

The person, pale, continued to roll on the ground without responding.

Gu Sheng’s face turned cold, and he jabbed a needle fiercely into their acupoint.

"Speak! Why does Purple Mist Peak keep sending people to attack? What’s your real purpose?"

Gu Sheng jabbed at the most painful acupoint, and now using divine power in his hand, it felt to the person as if they had just visited King Yan.

They wanted to remain silent as before, but as Gu Sheng applied more force, gradually, they couldn’t hold out.

"The... Peak Master sent me to find others..."

"Others? Didn’t you come alone?"

"I came alone, but before me... the Peak Master already sent three groups, dozens in total, and not one has returned..."

Hearing this, Gu Sheng understood the situation and gradually loosened his grip.

"No need to search, those three groups of yours are already dead."

After Gu Sheng spoke, the person’s pupils trembled violently.

"You say our people... are all dead?"

"Yes, to covet the sunken wood is a road to death! Go back and tell your Peak Master, Stone Village is not an easy target. If they dare send people again, I guarantee not a single one will return!"

Saying this, Gu Sheng suddenly swung his right hand, striking the person’s abdomen again.

The person cried out in pain, instinctively opening their mouth.

At this moment, a pill flew precisely into it. Before they had time to react, Gu Sheng hit the top of their head hard, and in a gulp, the pill slid down their esophagus.

Realizing what they had swallowed, they hurriedly tried to claw at their throat.

Gu Sheng watched them coldly, and said in a cold voice, "Don’t bother with pointless struggle, this pill dissolves upon touching water, it’s already turned into liquid in your esophagus."

"You... you want to kill me?"

"Deliver the message to your Peak Master, perhaps he has a way to save you."

After speaking, Gu Sheng didn’t give them another glance and turned away.

When he returned to Stone Village, the sky was already brightening.

Gu Sheng walked another round around Stone Village, confirming no intruders, then woke everyone up.

After a night’s rest and the support of the fiery red flower, everyone’s condition was at their best.

Under Gu Sheng’s leadership, they once again devoted themselves to the construction of Stone Village.

A whole week later, the last piece of sunken wood was successfully placed.

The moment it was installed, the entire Stone Village became covered by its array.

What everyone had long hoped for was finally realized at this moment.

In an instant, the Stone Village was filled with laughter and joy.

Gu Sheng looked around and summoned Huang Shan and the others with the small tripod.

In a matter of moments, everyone gathered there.

Seeing them, Gu Sheng smiled and said, "From now on, this will be your home, move in today."

"Thank you, Brother Sheng."

They all shouted in unison, and Gu Sheng smiled, waving his hand.

At this time, he suddenly noticed Huang Shan hadn’t shown up yet, and his smile faded slightly.

"Where’s Huang Shan? Why hasn’t he returned yet?"

Hearing this, everyone realized their leader hadn’t come back!

"Brother Sheng, I’ll go look for him."

Gu Sheng nodded, and the person immediately ran in the direction Huang Shan left in the morning.

After they left, Gu Sheng instructed everyone to move into their new home, and Stone Village soon became lively.

While everyone was busy, the person suddenly came running back with a pale face.

Seeing this, Gu Sheng sensed something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to meet him.

"What’s going on? Where’s Huang Shan? Why didn’t he return with you?"

"Brother Sheng, our leader... our leader is missing!"

Hearing this, Gu Sheng’s pupils quivered fiercely.

"Did you search everywhere?"

"I searched everywhere! He was just at the spot I just checked, but I’ve looked everywhere and couldn’t find him!"

"Take me there."

The person, still catching his breath, led Gu Sheng running in that direction.

"Brother Sheng, he said this morning that he would stay there today, I remember it clearly!"
