Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1088 - 568: Gu Sheng, You’re Driving Everyone Mad

Noticing Gu Sheng's troubled look, Bai Yu gave him a subtle push from behind, hinting that he could claim ties to the White Cloud Sect.

Sensing the nudge, Gu Sheng pressed his lips together lightly.

After a short pause in thought, he announced, "I’m from Stone Village."

This announcement left everyone utterly stunned.

Stone Village barely counts as a notable sect, and it doesn't even appear in the Jianghu rankings. How could someone like Gu Sheng possibly originate from such a place?

"Brother, why not consider joining us? The Bai’an Sect desperately needs strong hands..."

"Back off, your Bai’an Sect is nothing impressive. Our group is far superior..."

"Neither of you fits; ours is the best choice."

The crowd rushed ahead, all eager to enlist Gu Sheng's skills.

Witnessing their bold moves, Shi Lou and Er Gou swiftly positioned themselves to shield Gu Sheng.

"Friends, poaching like this in broad daylight won't work. Brother Sheng hails from our Stone Village, and that's unchangeable, so save your breath!"

Er Gou's words drew every gaze straight to Gu Sheng.

"Brother Gu, is that the truth? You truly won't switch allegiances?"

Meeting their eyes, Gu Sheng grinned and gave a firm nod.

"That's right, I have no intention of changing."

Though he'd already pledged to the Sky Blue Sect, Stone Village fell under its banner too, so his words held true enough.

His own affirmation dashed their hopes, forcing them to accept it reluctantly.

Observing their dejected faces, Gu Sheng clapped sharply.

"Brothers, now that we've exposed the Fan Sect's vile ways, let's unite our forces to crush them. The hour grows late, and this moment demands action—what say you?"

Gu Sheng's call sparked instant shouts of support.

The shocking incidents of the past couple of days had revealed the Fan Sect's corruption, fueling everyone's desire to wipe out this scourge.

With unanimous backing, Gu Sheng instructed the group to pull back from the camp and gear up, promising a swift exit once the Fan Sect fell.

They grasped his intent right away and set to work without delay.

Before a single incense stick had fully burned, the bases at East Mountain's base emptied out, and the assembly reformed, eyes fixed on Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng stayed silent; he merely gestured ahead and marched forward boldly.

His lead prompted the followers to trail right behind.

The assembled sects converged, marching directly toward the Fan Sect's stronghold.

Darkness cloaked the night in stillness, as Gu Sheng guided the force deep into East Mountain.

Sensing the thick waves of Evil Qi pouring from the Fan Sect, he furrowed his brow deeply.

In their previous clash, the Fan Sect's Evil Qi hadn't surged this intensely; now it had mysteriously intensified twofold. Was Saint Ya behind this escalation?

This suspicion hardened Gu Sheng's features into ice.

He pivoted and signaled with quick hand signs, which the others decoded instantly, slipping into the shadows around them.

Positions secured, Gu Sheng bolted toward the Fan Sect Leader's quarters, shattering the door with a forceful kick.

Black vapors billowed out as the entrance gave way.

Gu Sheng twisted his wrist, calling forth the small tripod to shield his path.

The occupants jolted awake in alarm, grabbing blades as they sprang up.

"Who goes there? Who dares invade the Fan Sect under cover of night!"

Gu Sheng let out a cold scoff at the outburst.

"A pathetic outfit like the Fan Sect—why fear breaking in? Tonight, I've not only entered, but come to end your worthless life!"

His bold declaration twisted the Sect Leader's expression in shock.

She straightened her robes and fixed him with shadowy glares.

"You again? The Qikong Sect's wretched puppet!"

Her insult propelled the Qikong Sect Leader to leap into view.

"Watch your foul tongue! He's a savior to our Qikong Sect! We're here tonight to take your head!"

"Hahaha, what fools you are, storming my domain to steal my life. You overestimate your puny strength! You'll all meet your doom right here!"

With that, she vaulted upward, unleashing the dark vapors from her grasp to blanket all of East Mountain.

The slumbering Fan Sect disciples stirred to life, charging toward the commotion at full tilt.

Aware of her ploy, Gu Sheng remained unfazed.

He signaled downward with a sweep, drawing the Fire Spirit Dagger into his grip before hurling it at the Fan Sect Leader.

As they clashed up close, Gu Sheng spotted her pallid complexion and ragged breaths—clear signs the poison still ravaged her, though she fought to hide it!

The Fire Spirit Dagger slashed ferociously, Gu Sheng's strike aiming straight for her chest.

The Fan Sect Leader twisted away from the blow in haste, her gasps growing even more labored.

At her weakened state, Gu Sheng smirked with disdain.

"Saint Ya paid a visit, and I figured she might ease your suffering. But clearly, she holds you in contempt, letting your poison fester unchecked—why else?"

Gu Sheng's taunt darkened the Fan Sect Leader's visage further.

"Silence! You won't besmirch Saint Ya's name on my watch!"

"Hmph, even uttering her title honors her enough. To her, you're beyond saving, poisoned to the core. Without us striking today, you'd waste away regardless; she'd never lift a finger for trash like you."

"Lies! Saint Ya departed for pressing reasons; she didn't forsake us!"

Her frantic denial prompted Gu Sheng to arch a brow casually.

"What urgency outweighs your very survival? Does some random mutt demand more than all your lives? She fled without a backward glance at this carnage—isn't that utter desertion? Deep down, you know it; why cling to denial?"
