Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 384: Chapter 216: Four Symbols Demon Suppression Array

With Gu Sheng having the Shadow Concealment Skill and Zhuge Crossbow, as long as he doesn’t get arrogant to the point of challenging all the core disciples of the Thousand Poison Sect alone, he should be quite safe.

Watching the two leave, Gu Sheng hurriedly followed behind them.

Lan Liu and Yu Taijie didn’t walk far before they took out a magic scroll, unfurled it, and Lan Liu placed a Spirit Stone on it.

The scroll was rather peculiar. As soon as the Spirit Stone landed on it, it instantly transformed into a stream of spiritual energy and was completely absorbed by the scroll.

After absorbing the Spirit Stone, the scroll emitted a strong golden light, and gradually images and texts began to appear above the scroll.

It was the first time Gu Sheng had seen such a magical thing, and he couldn’t help but stretch his neck to have a look.

The images on the golden scroll quickly became clear, resembling a map, with even detailed annotations in text. However, the text was somewhat different from what Gu Sheng recognized; he could only make out a rough idea.

The people of the Thousand Poison Sect had obviously studied the contents of the scroll meticulously. After looking at it for a while, Lan Liu and Yu Taijie confirmed their position, then put away the scroll and hastened on their way.

Lan Liu and Yu Taijie’s speed was decent, but after Gu Sheng’s body was transformed by the Mixed Element Body Refining Skill, his speed was significantly enhanced, allowing him to follow their pace with ease.

Due to the matter with Ding Xingbo, Lan Liu, and Yu Taijie ignored other matters, even if they encountered disciples of the Holy Pill Sect, they didn’t engage.

There was also a distinction between day and night in the Chi Du Secret Realm. After three days of traveling at full speed, they stopped at a vast lake.

The lake was immense. Standing at the shore and looking into the distance, only the boundless water surface and dense fog could be seen, the opposite shore was invisible.

After arriving here, the two once again took out the previous scroll.

This time, without absorbing a Spirit Stone, the scroll was already emitting a dazzling golden light.

”This is the place! Let’s wait for Brother Kang and the others to arrive.”

After Lan Liu put away the golden scroll, they took out a talisman, rubbed it, and a few minutes later the disk in their hands began to vibrate slightly, showing several red dots on it.

”Looks like Brother Kang and the others are almost here!”

Lan Liu breathed a sigh of relief seeing the red dots on the disk. Although this place was rather secluded, it was still impossible to guarantee that no one else would discover it. If top disciples from other sects found it, the two of them would not be able to hold them off.

Two hours later, core disciples of the Thousand Poison Sect arrived one after another, and three hours later, a familiar figure appeared in the distance.

”Brother Kang is here!”

The people of the Thousand Poison Sect became visibly excited upon seeing Kang Tai.

Gu Sheng’s gaze also landed on him.

Kang Tai’s figure was thin and his face shadowy, always wearing a cold smile, giving off a sinister feeling.

”This guy seems even stronger than during the auction!”

At the auction, Kang Tai was beside the elders of the Thousand Poison Sect, and Gu Sheng had seen him. At the time, he had already noticed Kang Tai, but back then, Kang Tai’s aura wasn’t as deep as it was now.

Back then, Kang Tai felt only slightly stronger than the likes of Lu Yun, but still had a gap between Lu Shu and Lin Tianhao. However, now Kang Tai felt on par with Lu Shu and Lin Tianhao.

”Why does this guy’s aura feel so much more bizarre than before? It even makes me uneasy.”

Gu Sheng felt that Kang Tai’s aura was very strange, a kind of baseless loathing as if it was engraved in his genes.

Unable to come up with a reason, Gu Sheng decided to stop thinking and quietly watched from the sidelines to see what the Thousand Poison Sect would do next.

”Brother Kang!”

”Brother Kang!”

...

Kang Tai was the strongest below the Marrow Refining Realm in the Thousand Poison Sect. All the disciples who came to the Chi Du Secret Realm looked up to him, and upon his arrival, they all stood up to greet him.

Kang Tai’s gaze swept over these people, and his brows furrowed: ”Where is Ding Xingbo? Why hasn’t he arrived after so many days?”

Lan Liu hurriedly approached Kang Tai and whispered: ”Brother Kang, Ding Xingbo was killed!”

Kang Tai’s face immediately showed a trace of anger upon hearing this, his eyes filled with doubt: ”Killed? Who did it? These people are getting more and more audacious, daring to even kill our core disciples!”

Lan Liu shook his head: ”We don’t know exactly who killed him. Yu Taijie and I received his messaging transmission and arrived to find he was already slain! We carefully checked the place where they fought, and there was a strong sword pressure remaining there, and looking at the signs of the scene and the wounds on Ding Xingbo’s body, he was almost crushed to death.”

Kang Tai’s eyebrows formed an eight-shaped character, and his expression became extremely serious: ”Aren’t we on good terms with the Governor Mansion? What was Lu Shu thinking to kill Ding Xingbo?”

It was a common misconception for Kang Tai to have, and Lan Liu and the others almost mistook it at the time, too.

Lan Liu shook his head and continued: ”Brother Kang, there is no enmity between the Governor Mansion and us, plus Ding Xingbo wasn’t stupid enough to have a conflict with Lu Shu.”

Kang Tai’s brows knitted even tighter: ”Not her? Then who else could it be? A sword cultivator capable of crushing Ding Xingbo... apart from him, there doesn’t seem to be anyone else! Could it be that a Sword Dao genius emerged from some other small faction? It shouldn’t be; if there were one, the two sects and the three sects would have pulled them into their sect long ago.”

”Brother Kang, we suspect the person who killed him is Gu Sheng from the Holy Pill Sect!”

”Gu Sheng?” Kang Tai was full of doubt, his mind recalling Gu Sheng’s likeness, and he quickly dismissed this conclusion. ”It couldn’t be him. I’ve seen Gu Sheng, he’s only at the Silver Bone Realm, and besides, as far as I know, Gu Sheng hadn’t been using a sword until six months ago when he started training under Wen Mingyan. To comprehend sword pressure in such a short time would be pure fantasy!”
