Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 392: Chapter 220: Breakthrough, Golden Bone Realm!

The Governor Mansion has teamed up with the Thousand Poison Sect, while the Haoyang Sect and Giant Sword Sect have formed an alliance. Among the six most prominent forces in the Red Cloud Prefecture region, only the Holy Pill Sect and Mad Saber Sect are still fighting alone.

Although the Holy Pill Sect is held on equal footing with the Haoyang Sect, many of their Core Disciples have been cunningly killed by the Thousand Poison Sect in the Red Cloud Secret Realm over the years. This has increasingly weakened the strength of those who can enter the Red Cloud Secret Realm on behalf of the Holy Pill Sect.

”Brother Yun, what should we do!?”

Chen Ke, upon seeing the alliance between the Thousand Poison Sect and the Governor Mansion, panicked internally. He squeezed his way to the side of a tall figure in front of the Holy Pill Sect disciples and asked in a deep voice. .

Yun Tianyi was the Holy Pill Sect’s strongest Core Disciple below the Marrow Refining Realm. However, even using all his abilities, he could at most compete with the likes of Lu Yun, far from being comparable to Lu Shu or Lin Tianhao.

As Yun Tianyi scanned the junior disciples behind him, his brows furrowed tightly. ”Where is Gu Sheng?”

Before entering the Red Cloud Secret Realm, Lu Junyi had repeatedly emphasized to Yun Tianyi that their mission this time wasn’t to gather Spirit Stones but to ensure Gu Sheng’s safety.

Now that most of those who entered the Red Cloud Secret Realm had reached the Demon Suppression Sect’s ruins, Yun Tianyi didn’t see Gu Sheng’s figure, which immediately made him tense.

Chen Ke shook his head. ”Haven’t seen him! That guy is naturally cautious; he might be hiding somewhere and hasn’t come yet.”

”Brother Yun, the Thousand Poison Sect and the Governor Mansion have already teamed up, and the Haoyang Sect is gathered with the Giant Sword Sect. With our strength, perhaps we should retreat now! Otherwise, when their contest ends, the Thousand Poison Sect, with their ways, might manipulate the Governor Mansion into wiping us out completely!”

Yun Tianyi frowned deeply upon hearing this, lost in thought.

After a moment, he shook his head and said, ”Our Holy Pill Sect is still one of the two sects in the region. If we retreat now, we’d risk becoming the laughingstock of the entire region in the future. While it’s unlikely for the Mad Saber Sect to join us, aren’t the four powerful families still observing? Let’s wait a while longer—if the situation becomes impossible, then we can retreat without delay!”

Following Yun Tianyi’s arrangement, the Holy Pill Sect’s disciples found a relatively tranquil spot to rest and recover.

Gu Sheng located Lin Miaomiao, Dai Wei, and Huang Miaoyin in the crowd, then lightly placed his hand on Lin Miaomiao’s shoulder.

Lin Miaomiao suddenly felt a heavy pressure on her shoulder. She instinctively wanted to resist, but then Gu Sheng’s voice came near her ear: ”Senior Sister Lin, don’t move—it’s me, Gu Sheng!”

Lin Miaomiao relaxed immediately upon hearing this. Still curious, she turned her head to glance around but didn’t see Gu Sheng’s figure, leaving her puzzled.

”Senior Sister, no need to wonder. This is one of my special Martial Arts techniques! Quickly, take Senior Sister Huang and Brother Dai out of here!”

Gu Sheng’s tone was resolute. Although Lin Miaomiao didn’t entirely understand, she chose to trust him. Casually, she tugged at Huang Miaoyin and Dai Wei’s sleeves, lowering her voice: ”Follow me!”

Lin Miaomiao stood up, taking advantage of the crowd to navigate through the exit back into the Red Cloud Secret Realm. Dai Wei and Huang Miaoyin, already familiar with Lin Miaomiao, hurriedly followed despite their confusion.

Although the three of them were Inner Sect Disciples, their presence wasn’t significant, so no one noticed their quiet departure.

Once outside the Demon Suppression Sect ruins, Huang Miaoyin couldn’t hold back her curiosity and asked, ”Senior Sister Lin, why did you suddenly call us out? Everyone is still inside, and leaving the main group at a time like this doesn’t seem like a good idea.”

Lin Miaomiao spread her hands: ”Don’t ask me. I don’t know either. It was Gu Sheng who asked us to leave.”

Dai Wei and Huang Miaoyin, now highly intrigued, scanned their surroundings in astonishment. ”Huh? Gu Sheng? Where is he? Why didn’t we see him?”

Gu Sheng released the Shadow Concealment Skill and appeared next to Lin Miaomiao. He smiled as he greeted Huang Miaoyin and Dai Wei: ”Hello, Senior Sister Huang, Brother Dai. Stop looking—I’m right here.”

The two, upon hearing the voice, turned their heads to see Gu Sheng, their eyes wide as bronze bells, their faces frozen in shock. ”Brother Gu, you... you know spells? How did you suddenly appear out of nowhere!? Do you know the legendary Invisibility Technique? Or perhaps the Earth Tunneling Skill?”

Dai Wei grew more and more excited, his eyes gleaming brightly as he nervously rubbed his hands together in front of his chest, looking at Gu Sheng with eager expectation: ”Brother Gu, can you teach me this Divine Skill?”

Gu Sheng couldn’t help but laugh at Dai Wei’s exaggerated expression and shook his head. ”Brother Dai, if you’re interested, I’ll teach you later.”

The Shadow Concealment Skill given to Gu Sheng by Qian Jin was a broken version, roughly equivalent to a top-tier Martial Art.

For Gu Sheng, it was no longer a big deal, so teaching it to Dai Wei posed no issue.

Upon hearing this, Huang Miaoyin quickly chimed in, ”Brother Gu! You can’t favor him—you have to teach me too!”

Gu Sheng smiled and nodded. ”Of course! While this Martial Art isn’t particularly advanced, it’s very practical. After we come out of the Red Cloud Secret Realm, I’ll write down the cultivation methods for you, the three of you, and Brother Mo to try learning.”

After witnessing the effect of Gu Sheng’s Shadow Concealment Skill, the three of them were filled with curiosity about this Martial Art.

Lin Miaomiao looked at Gu Sheng gently. ”Brother Gu, why did you ask us to come out? Earlier, Brother Yun was still asking about your whereabouts. You know, considering your unique status, if you were to show yourself, you might even help us recruit some of the four powerful families as allies for the Holy Pill Sect.”

Gu Sheng was naturally aware of the situation inside, but he currently didn’t entertain such notions. After all, the Holy Pill Sect’s disciples were too weak. Without someone on the level of Lu Shu or Lin Tianhao to hold authority, even forming alliances with other forces would be futile—they simply couldn’t compete with the Governor Mansion and Haoyang Sect.
