Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1489 - 767: Never Heard of It (2)

"This is not the place to talk."

She signaled Gu Sheng with her eyes to follow, then turned and headed to the third floor.

As soon as they stepped onto the stairs, Ye Yiyi set up a soundproofing barrier.

Her footsteps didn’t stop, but her voice reached Gu Sheng’s ears clearly.

"There are seven people in the hall, and at least twenty waiting outside. The subordinates of those in the second-floor private room have a very unfamiliar aura."

Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow.

"Are you sure?"

"I’ve been maintaining order in Xiaguang City for three years, I recognize the personnel from all the major forces in the city."

Ye Yiyi’s tone was firm.

"These people are clearly outsiders, and..."

She paused.

"At least three of them are half-step Sect Realm."

Gu Sheng’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.

"It seems they are determined to win."

"What do you plan to do?"

Ye Yiyi turned to him, worry evident in her almond-shaped eyes.

"If you go to my place now, I’m afraid..."

Gu Sheng caught on, asking softly.

"Would it cause you trouble?"

Ye Yiyi suddenly laughed, a hint of pride in her smile.

"Trouble? If anyone dares to make a move in Xiaguang City, I, Ye Yiyi, will be the first to disagree."

The token at her waist swayed slightly, making a crisp sound.

Just as Gu Sheng was about to speak, he suddenly sensed two familiar auras approaching from the direction of the hall.

He narrowed his eyes, speaking softly.

"The Miao Family has arrived."

Before his words could settle, Miao Muqing’s charming voice already echoed.

"Oh my, isn’t this Mr. Gu Sheng? What a coincidence!"

The shout was so loud that it was clearly heard on the entire third floor of the Purple Mist Residence.

Gu Sheng could clearly feel the spiritual powers that were covertly observing him vibrate intensely the moment they heard his name.

Ye Yiyi whirled around, eyes wide with shock.

"Gu... Sheng?"

She lowered her voice.

"Are you the ’East Desolation Qin Tian’ that’s causing such a stir in the Southern Border recently?"

Gu Sheng gave a wry smile.

"I guess it’s no longer a secret."

Ye Yiyi’s expression turned grave.

"Rumor has it ’East Desolation Qin Tian, possesses an unparalleled treasure, obtaining it might lead to entering the King Realm.’ No wonder..."

She glanced around.

"These people are all after you, and not to mention the King Realm profound art you obtained today..."

"I know."

Gu Sheng’s demeanor was calm, as if he wasn’t the one being targeted by multiple forces.

"Those in the first-class private room must be high-level leaders of the various Divine Sects, right?"

Ye Yiyi nodded.

"At least Elder Level. They have probably already confirmed your identity."

As they were speaking, Miao Muqing had already approached with Miao Ren.

Today, she wore a flaming red dress, making her skin appear like snow, with a hint of deliberate provocation at the corners of her eyes and brows.

"Mr. Gu, why are you avoiding old acquaintances? Could it be you’ve done something guilty?"

Gu Sheng smiled indifferently.

"Miss Miao, you’re joking. It’s just that I have important matters to discuss with Miss Ye, and it’s not convenient to be disturbed."

Miao Muqing’s gaze swept over Ye Yiyi, then she laughed softly.

"I see. However..."

She suddenly leaned in, speaking in a voice that only the three of them could hear.

"Gu Sheng, I’m afraid you won’t be leaving Xiaguang City tonight. The people of the Three Great Divine Sects are waiting outside."

Ye Yiyi heard this and immediately stepped forward, standing in front of Gu Sheng.

"Miss Miao, please watch your words. Threatening guests within Xiaguang City is against branch rules."

Miao Muqing covered her mouth, laughing lightly.

"Oh, Ye, you misunderstood. How dare I threaten anyone? It’s just a kind reminder."

She stepped back and raised her voice.

"Mr. Gu, until we meet again!"

With that, she pulled Miao Ren and turned to leave, leaving behind a meaningful smile.

Once the Miao Family siblings had distanced themselves, Ye Yiyi immediately pulled Gu Sheng towards a Quiet Room on the third floor.

After closing the door, she set up three layers of soundproofing barriers before letting out a long breath.

"The situation is worse than I imagined."

Ye Yiyi’s brows were furrowed tightly.

"The Three Great Divine Sects... if they have truly joined forces, even I would find it difficult to handle."

Gu Sheng, however, appeared exceptionally calm; he walked to the window, gazing at the darkening sky outside.

"Miss Ye, I have an idea."

"What is it?"

"Instead of sitting and waiting to be attacked, why don’t we take the initiative?"

Gu Sheng turned around, a sharp look in his eyes.

"Let’s lure them all together and finish it once and for all."

Ye Yiyi gasped.

"Are you crazy? There might be a real Sect Realm expert among them! Even I can barely handle one..."

Gu Sheng gently shook his head.

"I have my own support. If a Sect Realm expert does act, I’ll handle it."

"You?"

Ye Yiyi looked him up and down. Despite Gu Sheng’s restrained aura, he didn’t seem like he could confront a Sect Realm expert.

"Gu Sheng, this isn’t the time to show off. Why don’t I contact Master Yue Xia right now..."

"It’s too late."

Gu Sheng interrupted her.

"They’ve already torn off their masks. Look outside."

Ye Yiyi followed his gaze and saw dozens of figures gathered on the street outside Purple Mist Residence.

These people appeared to be standing casually, but in reality, they formed a tight encirclement.

"At least... nearly a hundred people."

Ye Yiyi’s voice trembled slightly.

"And I sense it, there are indeed three Sect Realm auras."

She turned to look at Gu Sheng, only to find him as calm as ever, even with a faint, elusive smile on his lips.

"You’re not afraid?"

Ye Yiyi couldn’t help but ask.

Gu Sheng gently patted an inconspicuous cloth bag at his waist.

"I told you, I have my own support."

Ye Yiyi watched him for a while, finally making up her mind.

"Alright, I’ll trust you this time. But if the situation changes, you must retreat immediately."

Gu Sheng nodded.

"Rest assured, I won’t gamble with your life."

After a brief discussion, the two decided to leave through the back door of Purple Mist Residence.

However, as they stepped out the door, they found the once scattered stalkers had quickly gathered, forming an impressive crowd.

"Are they going to blatantly rob us?"

Ye Yiyi tightened her grip on the longsword at her waist, her voice tinged with anger.

"Do they really think Xiaguang Branch is just for show?"

Gu Sheng, however, placed a hand on her sword hilt.

"Don’t rush, let them follow. The more, the better."

Ye Yiyi was puzzled.

"What do you mean?"

"Find an open space."

Gu Sheng said quietly.

"Catch them all in one go."

The sunset faded, and the last rays of light were swallowed by darkness.

Gu Sheng and Ye Yiyi walked side by side, their footsteps creating faint sounds on the gravel in the silence.

"They’re still following us."

Ye Yiyi lowered her voice, her fingers unconsciously clutching the hem of her clothes.

She could feel at least a dozen auras behind them, with three particularly strong, like beasts lurking in the dark.

Gu Sheng did not stop his steps, but a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Three Sect Realms, seven at the Peak of the Earth Martial Realm, and a few small fry."

Ye Yiyi’s heart quivered.

Though she was a disciple of the Purple Mist Divine Sect, facing three Sect Realm experts was hopeless.

Moreover, it was clear these people were targeting Gu Sheng.

"Gu Sheng, we..."

She was just about to say something when she saw Gu Sheng suddenly stop and turn to walk back.

"Gu Sheng!"

Ye Yiyi exclaimed in surprise, but it was too late to stop him.

Gu Sheng strode towards the martial artists hiding in the dark, his robes fluttering without wind.

He stopped under a withered tree, his voice eerily calm.

"You’ve followed us far enough. Isn’t it about time to end the game?"

There was a stir in the darkness, and then three figures slowly emerged.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a brutish face and a blood-red wolfhead insignia on his chest.

"Kid, you’ve got guts."

The middle-aged man sneered.

"A mere Earth Martial Realm at the Seventh Level dares to show off before the Blood Wolf Gang?"

Gu Sheng didn’t even raise an eyelid.

"Blood Wolf Gang? Never heard of it."

"You’re courting death!"

The middle-aged man erupted in fury, and the oppression from his Third Level Sect Realm power burst forth, cracking the ground with web-like fissures.

Ye Yiyi turned pale, instinctually taking half a step back.

The pressure was so terrifying, she even found it hard to breathe.

Just then, a golden cauldron’s shadow appeared behind Gu Sheng, with nine dragon marks entwined on it, exuding an ancient and dignified aura.

A dazzling beam of light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire night sky.
