Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1758: Rebuilding the Gu Family

Chapter 1758: Chapter 892: Rebuilding the Gu Family

“My father, Gu Lie, will rebuild the Gu family in Great Wilderness City.”

“In this place,” Gu Sheng’s gaze seemed to penetrate all barriers, falling upon every onlooker.

“No matter who occupies it in the future, they must erect a monument for the loyal souls of the Gu family, build a shrine, make seasonal offerings, and ensure the incense never ceases.”

He paused slightly, as a cold killing intent spread like a tangible substance.

“If anyone disobeys… they will bear the consequences themselves.”

As soon as his words fell, everyone who heard them felt a chill like an ice cone instantly piercing their spine! Many instinctively lowered their heads in horror, only to discover strands of hair, cut at the roots, had silently fallen around their feet!

Silently, the hair was severed!

This meant that if Gu Sheng wished, he could have cut not just hair but heads in complete stealth!

An indescribable fear instantly gripped everyone’s hearts! They finally realized with utmost clarity that the Gu family’s “foolish second young master,” whom they had mocked and underestimated in secret, had long transformed into a formidable entity they needed to look up to and even fear!

Gu Sheng said no more and didn’t look at the faces filled with panic.

He cast a deep glance over the scorched earth as if imprinting it into the depths of his soul, then turned abruptly, striding swiftly toward the outskirts of Wuyun City.

Gu Yuanyuan and Qidiao Yaoyao exchanged a glance, quickly following.

…

Outside Wuyun City, Fan Qingcheng stood silently, her silver dress gently swaying in the breeze. Seeing the three emerge, a trace of clear surprise appeared for the first time in her serene and ethereal eyes.

She looked at Gu Sheng, her voice carrying a hint of inquiry.

“Young Master Gu, quite the skill. To have evaded Saint Master Juque’s perception and quietly left behind a thread of Xiao Beixuan’s residual soul?”

Gu Sheng responded with a faint smile, without detailed explanation, simply saying ambiguously.

“Just a small soul manipulation trick, not worth mentioning. I’m afraid I’ve delayed Miss Fan’s time.”

He changed the topic, looking into the distance.

“With matters here concluded, we should proceed to Central Province promptly, lest time brings unpredictable change.”

Fan Qingcheng gave Gu Sheng a deep look, seeing his reluctance to speak further, she refrained from asking more, only nodding.

“Alright.”

All four immediately departed, rising into the air, transforming into four streams of light streaking across the distant sky.

They didn’t make a direct line to the Central Province border but traversed through various well-known cities in East Desolation such as Golden Crow City and Luoxing City, using the Transmission Array between these cities for transfer, thus minimizing potential encounters with spies and troubles.

Finally, at sunset, the group arrived at the last grand city at the junction of East Desolation and Central Province—Fallen Moon City.

Standing on the walls of this ancient majestic city, one could already glimpse the distant vast area filled with desolation and mystery—Endless Wilderness. Beyond this wilderness lay the true boundary of Central Province!

Continuously traversing multiple large Transmission Arrays, especially the last few Cross-domain Arrays, drained their cultivation greatly.

Gu Sheng managed well, Qidiao Yaoyao as a Half-step Sect Realm could also sustain, but Gu Yuanyuan, with her cultivation only at the First Level of Yellow Martial Realm, already looked pale and her aura noticeably wilting, evidently her Divine Soul and body both bore significant burden.

Gu Sheng glanced at the strenuously enduring Gu Yuanyuan beside him, then at the sky, and said to Fan Qingcheng.

“Miss Fan, this is the border. Today’s continuous passage through Transmission Arrays has been quite taxing, especially for Yuanyuan whose cultivation is still shallow, she might struggle with the toll of crossing the Endless Wilderness further. Would it be permissible to rest here for the night and depart at dawn?”

Fan Qingcheng swept her gaze over Gu Yuanyuan, naturally observing her state, nodding slightly, her voice remaining tranquil.

“Certainly. Let’s follow Young Master Gu’s suggestion and rest here for the night, departing tomorrow morning.”

As the four stepped out of the gradually dimming Teleportation Array, before they had a chance to scrutinize the scenery of this border fortress, several figures had already swiftly approached from the Array perimeter. Leading them was a middle-aged man with a shrewd face and the unique meticulousness and caution of a merchant, his cultivation at the peak of Sect Realm.

He hurried forward, respectfully saluting first, then clearing his throat, his voice carrying just the right amount of enthusiasm and humility.

“Could it be Young Master Gu and Fairy Ban in person? I am Su Rui, humbly the manager of Linyin Pavilion’s Fallen Moon City branch. Recently, I’ve received a secret directive via a special channel from the second young lady, aware of your passage through this place heading to Central Province.

The pavilion has prepared a tranquil and elegant residence for you all to rest and recover, relieving the fatigue of continuous travel. Please follow me.”

Gu Sheng’s gaze, as sharp as lightning, discreetly scanned Su Rui and the few guards following him.

These guards were not highly cultivated, the strongest merely Half-step Sect Realm, but their auras were restrained with no visible intensity, evidently carefully chosen to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

He nodded slightly, a subtle smile appearing on his face, his tone calm.

“Ah, Manager Su, much appreciated. Just now sensing a few approaching, their auras were excellently restrained; I mistook them for the city patrol’s squad, nearly causing a misunderstanding.”

Su Rui hurriedly smiled apologetically.

“Young Master Gu jests. It was our oversight that disturbed you. Please, this way.”
