Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1536 - 791: Getting Serious

The voice coming from the Jade Talisman was noticeably trembling.

"The people from the Law Enforcement Hall suddenly took her away this morning, claiming she’s suspected of harming a fellow disciple..."

Harming a fellow disciple? Gu Sheng immediately recalled the Blood Refining Evil Cultivator pierced through the heart by Shen Qingtan’s sword that night.

That person might have practiced Evil Skill, but he was indeed holding the title of a disciple of the Great Wilderness Holy Academy.

"Specific location."

His voice sank.

"I’m heading there immediately."

"There’s a tea shop outside the Transmission Array in the East District of Heaven City, I’ll be wearing a goose-yellow skirt."

Qin Yurou spoke rapidly.

"Young Master Gu, please be careful, recently in the city..."

The words were not finished when the light of the Jade Talisman suddenly dimmed.

Gu Sheng attempted to contact again but found the Spiritual Power was like a mud cow entering the sea... it was clear there was an issue on the other side.

One incense stick later, the white light of the Transmission Array in Heaven City flashed.

Gu Sheng, disguised as a middle-aged scholar, stepped out, muscles slightly tense under his blue long robe.

The air was filled with an unmistakable tension, looking up he could see dozens of figures piloting Flying Artifacts patrolling at low altitude.

They were wearing uniform Mystic Armor, the emblem of the Great Wilderness Holy Academy on their chests.

"I heard the Wanliu Sect, all three hundred of them..."

Two people dressed as merchants were whispering nearby, immediately silencing as patrolmen approached.

Gu Sheng subtly pressed down his hat.

It seems that night’s event had already brewed, only he hadn’t expected it would implicate Shen Qingtan.

He quickened his steps towards the agreed tea shop, suddenly noticing a flash of goose yellow at the street corner.

It was a young girl with twin buns pretending to be interested in the rouge on the vendor’s stall, but her gaze was constantly scanning the passing pedestrians.

As Gu Sheng approached, she suddenly widened her eyes and blurted out.

"Gu..."

"Miss, you’ve got the wrong person."

Gu Sheng interrupted in a low voice, showing half of the Qingluan Jade Talisman from his sleeve.

Qin Yurou understood, casually picking up a box of rouge and throwing two Spirit Stones to the vendor.

"Wrap it up."

Then, seemingly unintentionally, she walked along the alleyway.

Gu Sheng kept his distance following her, realizing this girl changed her walking pace at every intersection, clearly trying to shake off any tail.

After winding through several turns, the two arrived at a courtyard covered in vines.

As they pushed open the weathered wooden door, a strong stench rushed at them.

The courtyard housed various Exotic Beasts, including scaled rabbits, three-tailed foxes, and even a small snow-white dragon crouched in the corner.

"Sorry for the smell,"

Qin Yurou locked the courtyard door and suddenly turned, staring intently at Gu Sheng.

"But how did you manage it? Even the Golden-eyed Beast couldn’t see through your Disguise Skill. I could smell it was you from three streets away."

Gu Sheng removed his mask, revealing his true appearance.

"Beast Taming School’s talent?"

"It’s the smell."

The girl proudly wrinkled her nose.

"You carry a special medicinal fragrance, mixed with... hmm, the scent of thunder."

She suddenly lowered her voice.

"Sister Qingtan said you used Thunder Skill when you killed that Evil Cultivator."

Gu Sheng’s gaze sharpened.

It seems Shen Qingtan considered this girl a true confidant.

"Let’s talk business."

He scanned the surroundings.

"Is it safe here?"

Qin Yurou whistled, and the White Dragon immediately spread its wings, circling in the air above the courtyard forming a semi-transparent barrier.

"It’s safe now. This morning, six Earth Martial Realm from the Law Enforcement Hall came holding the deputy’s Token..."

Apparently, at dawn, Shen Qingtan was tending Spirit Plants in the herb garden when she was surrounded by ominous enforcers who broke in.

The cold-faced man leading showed a Blood-colored Jade Scroll, claiming it recorded evidence of her "harming a fellow disciple."

"Jiang Feihong? The top disciple of the Inner Courtyard?"

Gu Sheng’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, his fingertips unintentionally tapping the stone table, producing a crisp sound.

Qin Yurou nodded, her long hair lightly swaying in the breeze.

"Three days ago, he inspected the battlefield, and upon returning, accused Qingtan of colluding with outsiders to kill his brother."

She bit her lip.

"That day when you struck, you did leave an aura not belonging to the Holy Academy."

Gu Sheng’s eyes showed regret.

When he defeated those Evil Cultivators, he indeed hadn’t deliberately concealed his energy.

Who could have thought this unintended action would implicate Shen Qingtan?

"What’s the Law Enforcement Hall’s current stance?"

He asked gravely.

"Jiang Feihong has significant influence in the Inner Courtyard, the Law Enforcement Hall is temporarily detaining Qingtan for investigation."

Qin Yurou’s eyes showed worry.

"But if they can’t find evidence to prove her innocence..."

The words were unfinished, but the meaning was clear.

Gu Sheng’s eyes flashed coldly, then he restrained it.

He has always disliked owing favors, especially since this situation arose because of him.

"I need detailed intel on Jiang Feihong."

Gu Sheng said straightforwardly.

"Cultivation level, Martial Arts, interpersonal relationships, the more detailed, the better."

Qin Yurou’s eyes lit up.

"I’ll start gathering it right away. Little White will deliver it to you."

She paused.

"Young Master Gu, are you planning to..."

"Since it’s my reason Shen was wronged, naturally, I must clear her name."

Gu Sheng’s tone was calm yet assertive.

Qin Yurou shot him a deep look, softly speaking.

"Thank you."

"No need."

Gu Sheng waved his hand, then asked.

"What’s the strength level of the True Disciples of the Great Wilderness Holy Academy?"

Qin Yurou was slightly startled, immediately realizing he was evaluating his opponent’s strength tier.

"True Disciples are at least Sect Realm cultivation. The top ten on the True Inheritance List are all at King Realm, and Chu, the top, has reached mid-King Realm."

Gu Sheng’s pupils narrowed.

He originally thought that although the Great Wilderness Holy Academy was strong, with his current strength he should be able to manage.

Now it seems he underestimated the foundation of this academy with thousands of years of heritage.

"Are there any Venerables stationed here?"

He continued asking.

"There are a few, but their exact strength..."

Qin Yurou shook her head.

"Even Qingtan doesn’t know."
