Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1722 - 874: Feels Like I Forgot Something

...

Below the valley, due to Gu Sheng’s earlier shout, chaos ensued, and everyone became wary of each other. Many martial artists, especially disciples of the Purple Mist Divine Sect, attempted to use Inner Vision Sea of Consciousness. Although most lacked enough spiritual power to immediately detect the deeply hidden spiritual imprint, the fear of being manipulated by an invisible hand spread like a plague.

Nangong Yuexia stood at the forefront of the Purple Mist Divine Sect’s team, her expression fluctuating, and she looked towards Gu Sheng’s direction with complex eyes, then at the two figures in the sky confronting each other like gods and demons.

She was nearly convinced that the Longevity Ancestor indeed harbored plans against the Purple Mist Divine Sect!

Just then, a faint transmission reached her ears—it was Gu Sheng’s voice.

"Elder Nangong, the time has come! Quickly contact the upper echelons of the Purple Mist Divine Sect and expose the fact that the Longevity Ancestor secretly planted spiritual imprints on the disciples of the Purple Mist Divine Sect! Shen Wuguang is dead. If you manage to seize the initiative in this matter and uncover the Longevity Divine Sect’s plot, you can greatly stabilize your position within the sect, and perhaps advance further!"

Nangong Yuexia’s eyes gleamed upon hearing this; it was indeed a perfect opportunity! She immediately took out the customized Communication Treasure from the sect, attempting to relay the message.

However, the next moment, her expression turned sour—the light of the Communication Treasure flickered a few times, and then went completely dim, unable to establish contact with the outside world at all!

"The transmissions are being blocked..."

She anxiously looked towards Gu Sheng’s direction and informed him via transmission.

Gu Sheng, hidden among the crowd, furrowed his brows tightly. Even the communication was preemptively blocked? The Longevity Ancestor truly had planned this for a long time!

Perhaps he had long decided to target the Purple Mist Divine Sect, and searching for himself was merely a convenient excuse, a cover-up! The situation was more complicated than he anticipated.

"Mr. Gu, what should we do now?"

Nangong Yuexia’s transmission came again, carrying a hint of confusion and urgency. Having lost contact with the sect’s upper echelons, she was powerless to confront the Longevity Ancestor alone.

Gu Sheng pondered for a moment and replied via transmission.

"Given the circumstances, we can only take it step by step. If Situ and I manage to escape, we’ll try to help you contact the upper echelons of the Purple Mist Divine Sect later."

After a brief thought, he added.

"Keep calm."

After speaking, he quietly separated a strand of extremely pure Soul Power containing the tranquil aura of the Path of Fate from his own Sea of Consciousness and sent it into Nangong Yuexia’s Sea of Consciousness across the void.

Nangong Yuexia felt her Sea of Consciousness cool slightly, a refreshing stream passing through, dispersing much of the agitation and dizziness caused by the pressure and spiritual erosion. Her mind became clear.

"This strand of Soul Power can help you maintain clarity of mind and resist the invasion of the spiritual imprint. If, ultimately, you fail to notify the Purple Mist Divine Sect, pretend to be affected by the imprint, deceive the Longevity Ancestor temporarily, and protect yourself and the Primordial Energy of the Purple Mist Divine Sect. Meanwhile, find a way to secretly record evidence using a Memory Crystal Stone or similar magical treasures!"

Gu Sheng calmly guided her.

...

In the sky, the negotiation between the two ancestors seemed to be reaching its conclusion.

The Longevity Ancestor’s face was so sullen that moisture seemed about to drip from it; he was evidently extorted for great benefits by Qidiao Wu.

He glared fiercely at Qidiao Wu, but ultimately compromised, and the terrifying spiritual power pressure covering the entire scene receded like a tide.

As the pressure dissipated, Qidiao Wu immediately acted! He stretched out his hand, producing an invisible suction, precisely lifting Qidiao Yaoyao and Gu Sheng below like small chicks into his mana imprisonment.

"Ancestor, don’t forget Situ Qingfeng!"

Gu Sheng immediately transmitted to Qidiao Yaoyao via sub-gu.

Qidiao Yaoyao understood, hurriedly saying to Qidiao Wu.

"Grandfather, please take the son of Situ Ling with us too."

Qidiao Wu glanced indifferently at the pale-faced Situ Qingfeng below and remarked casually.

"Relax, that old Longevity geezer wouldn’t dare touch that kid. Situ Ling, the old madman, is a loose cultivator with no sect affiliation, acts without scruples, and his power is unfathomable. If they harm his only son, the Longevity Divine Sect will never find peace again; the old Longevity fool isn’t that stupid."

Indeed, shortly after he finished speaking, the Longevity Ancestor dismissed Situ Qingfeng similar to discarding rubbish. With a flick of his sleeve, a gentle force swept Situ Qingfeng up and hurled him towards Qidiao Wu. Qidiao Wu effortlessly caught him, confining him as well.

And just as Situ Qingfeng was thrown out!

"Buzz—!"

An even more condensed and immense spiritual power enveloped the entire valley, sealing it instantly! This time, it was not mere pressure but true spatial isolation and information blockade. Clearly, the Longevity Ancestor intended to prevent any happenings within the valley from leaking out!

Gu Sheng felt the complete spiritual power blockade and understood. The Longevity Ancestor had plotted for a long time; even though the Five Poison Ancestor unexpectedly disrupted his plan, he would certainly not give up easily, surely employing subsequent means to handle the Purple Mist Divine Sect’s affairs, possibly with more direct and forceful methods.

He hesitated no longer, immediately transmitting to the nearby Qidiao Yaoyao via sub-gu.

"Miss Qidiao, please protect me for a moment. I need to meditate immediately and attend to urgent matters."

Qidiao Yaoyao, though slightly puzzled, had already put her trust in Gu Sheng by this moment, nodded upon hearing his words, and with Situ Qingfeng, moved stealthily to surround Gu Sheng protectively.
