Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1778 - 902: Venerable Pressure! Arrogant Scion Kneeling in Fear
Previously on Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World...
The originally noisy crowd around seemed to have their throats caught, and instantly quieted down! All the Martial Artists who felt this pressure turned pale, looking at the girl in the bright red outfit with stunning looks in shock and disbelief, their eyes filled with reverence and awe!
The sneer and smugness on the face of the young master with the broken leg instantly froze, replaced by extreme fear and paleness! His legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground if not for the crutch he leaned on! The Guard Captain beside him, with a Cultivation at the Peak of the Sect Realm, felt his scalp tingle, and cold sweat soaked his back instantly!
"Ven...Venerable?!"
The Guard Captain’s voice trembled as he suddenly pulled his young master, deeply bowing toward Tantai Xuefei, almost crying and begging for mercy.
"Senior, please calm your anger! Please calm your anger! My young master... he is young and ignorant, speaking without thinking, he never intended to offend! I beg the senior with broad leniency not to be bothered by us ants! Please!"
The young master with the broken leg also finally returned from his intense fear, his teeth chattering, speaking incoherently in panic.
"Mis...misunderstanding! It’s all a misunderstanding! Senior, spare my life! As a junior who offended without eyes, I deserve to die! I deserve to die!"
Tantai Xuefei let out a cold snort, as if a heavy hammer struck the hearts of the young master and his guards, causing their Qi-Blood to surge, almost making them lose control on the spot.
She looked at them coldly, like looking at a few annoying flies, then her figure flashed, retreating behind Gu Sheng, retracting the majestic aura of a Venerable as if nothing had happened just now.
As Tantai Xuefei retracted the suffocating aura of a Venerable, the frozen atmosphere in the scene slightly alleviated.
However, everyone’s gaze involuntarily focused on Gu Sheng, who remained calm and seemed unaffected.
To make such a young genius from the Venerable Realm willingly stand behind him, who could this person be?
A soft murmur of fear and reverence rose from the crowd.
"Hiss... That girl in red is actually a Venerable! My heavens!"
"She seems to be following that young man in blue as the leader..."
"That broken-legged Liu Laosan has hit a hard wall this time! He used to rely on his family’s slight influence to provoke a few passing Human Kings and got taught a harsh lesson. He never imagined this time it would be even more outrageous, directly offending a Venerable!"
"Serves him right! Acting arrogant all day, bullying the weak and fearing the strong! This time he hit a truly hard wall!"
Although these murmurs were suppressed extremely low, how could they escape the ears of the Cultivators present? The young master referred to as "Liu Laosan" listened, his face alternately flushing and paling, his chest heaving violently, obviously extremely angry, but under the terrifying lingering fear of Tantai Xuefei’s aura, he dared not even utter a grunt, only gritting his teeth.
Gu Sheng’s gaze swept indifferently across Liu Laosan.
Even this seemingly casual glance made Liu Laosan feel as if plunged into an icy cave! He felt as if countless invisible sharp blades pierced through him, from flesh to soul, inside and out were seen thoroughly, every secret and fear laid bare!
"Thud!"
He could no longer hold himself up, his crutch slipped from his hands, and he collapsed like mud to the ground, gasping for breath, his body uncontrollably trembling, looking at Gu Sheng with endless fear, as if looking at a Demon God from the Nine Nether!
Gu Sheng, however, no longer paid him any attention, as if casually brushing away a speck of dust.
He turned to Tantai Xuefei, speaking in an ordinary tone.
"Let’s find a place to settle in. Xueli should come here to join us, and then we’ll make specific plans."
Tantai Xuefei nodded, the frost on her face dissolved instantly, replaced by a bright smile.
"No problem! In Wanxiang City, there’s the Martial Artist Market run by the Tantai Family, called the ’Ten Thousand Treasures Hall’, we’ll go there, it’s guaranteed to be quiet and comfortable."
The group did not stay, leaving directly under the complex gazes of countless eyes.
Until their figures disappeared at the street corner, Liu Laosan, limp on the ground, was only then trying to stand up with his guard’s assistance, trembling, looking in the direction Gu Sheng and others left, his eyes filled with malice and sinister intent, but more so, an unremovable fear.
...
Under the guidance of Tantai Xuefei, the group arrived in front of a majestic hall located in the core area of Wanxiang City. The hall stood tall, with a plaque on which the gilded characters of "Ten Thousand Treasures Hall" were written in flowing script. The entrance was guarded by vigilant sentinels, and those entering and leaving were either rich or noble, evidently denoting high status.
As they stepped into the hall, a woman dressed in elegant white attire with a capable and efficient demeanor immediately approached them, her gaze sweeping over the group before eventually landing on Tantai Xuefei, her eyes flashing with a hint of surprise and excitement, she quickly bowed, her voice filled with respect.
"This servant greets Miss Xuefei! Congratulations on the full recovery of your injuries and advancing to a higher level!"
Obviously, she had already received the news from Fallen Moon City, knowing that Tantai Xuefei not only recovered but also broke through to the Venerable Realm.
Hearing this, Tantai Xuefei frowned slightly, seemingly not quite fond of the congratulations.
She involuntarily recalled her recovery process and that unexpectedly profound "Spiritual Unity", subconsciously glancing at the side of Gu Sheng, she thought to herself.
