Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1624: Chapter 825: Top Priority

Her pair of eyes suddenly became icily cold, like millennia-old ice!

A barely noticeable, yet extremely chilling and obscure aura slowly emanated from her!

She looked at Gu Sheng, her voice no longer pleasant but full of icy murderous intent.

”Gu Sheng... you’re courting death!”

Inside Luomei Small Residence, the atmosphere instantly fell to freezing point!

Xia Fuqu’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, the chilling and obscure aura was like a venomous snake’s tongue, firmly locking onto Gu Sheng!

Bai Yu was even more on high alert, her surroundings swirling with a cold moonlight, her jade hand already placed on the sword hilt at her waist!

Was Xia Fuqu, who ranked third on the True Inheritance List, actually a dark agent planted by the Nether River?

This news was too shocking!

Just at this tense moment, Xia Fuqu’s icy murderous intent quickly retreated, replaced by a kind of... complex and difficult-to-understand emotion, containing dread, scheming, and even... empathy?

She suddenly smiled, a smile like the first thaw of snow, yet carrying a disturbing eeriness.

”Junior Brother Gu, what keen perception, what sharp words. Fuqu... is impressed.”

She slowly withdrew that chilling aura, her gaze swept past the cautious Bai Yu, finally landing on Gu Sheng, her voice reverted to its previous ethereal and pleasant tone, yet bore an indescribable deeper meaning.

”However, you guessed half right, and half wrong. I do have old ties with Wuya Sect, and indeed... am not free to act. But monitoring Elder Bai Yu? Acting when the opportunity arises? Ha...”

She chuckled lightly, with a hint of self-mockery.

”My target was never her.”

She paused, her eyes becoming sharp, staring straight at Gu Sheng.

”My target is Xiao Beixuan! That madman, relying on the favor of the Nether River, acts recklessly and has long been the target of many! I have been lurking in the Holy Academy not just to serve the Nether River, but also to... seek a chance to get rid of him!”

Gu Sheng’s gaze slightly focused, not relaxing his vigilance because of her words.

”Kill Xiao Beixuan? Why?”

”Why?”

Xia Fuqu’s eyes carried bone-deep hatred.

”Because he deserves to die! He took away what should have been mine! And because he... blocks my path! The old ghost of the Nether River’s seat does not need two ’Young Masters’!”

Her words revealed strong ambition and murderous intent.

”Gu Sheng, you destroyed his plan in the Thousand Souls Hall, cut off his greatest reliance, and made him suffer a heavy loss and a sweeping disgrace! You and he are already in a death feud! And I, with him, are the same! The enemy of my enemy is my friend. How about joining forces, to together eliminate this villain?”

Join forces? Gu Sheng looked at the deeply calculative and elusive woman in front of him, his mind racing.

Xia Fuqu’s words were hard to discern between truth and falsehood.

Her hatred and ambition towards Xiao Beixuan might be true, but her purpose cannot simply be to eliminate Xiao Beixuan.

Behind her, there must be deeper schemes.

However, for now, she is indeed a force that can be utilized.

”Join forces?”

Gu Sheng’s voice was calm.

”Okay. But, how to join forces? Xiao Beixuan at present is like a startled bird, bound to hide deeply. How will you find him?”

”Find him?”

Xia Fuqu’s lips curled with a cold smile.

”Why bother to search? Though he has fled, he will undoubtedly not be resigned! He will certainly seek retaliation! And the target of retaliation, first and foremost, will be you, Gu Sheng! As well as... those wings of his have been clipped by us, they also need to be re-cultivated.

He cannot leave the vortex center of Great Wilderness City! And I happen to know the few hidden bases he has cultivated for years in Great Wilderness City, and also... the few dark lines he has inserted within the Holy Academy!”

Her eyes glowed with scheming brilliance.

”Give me a month. Within a month, I will act with full force to clip his wings in Great Wilderness City, remove his spies, force him to reveal himself! Leave him... with no way to escape!”

”A month?”

Gu Sheng shook his head slightly.

”Too slow. Moreover, forcing him to show himself, if he becomes desperate and reckless, even if we join forces we may not guarantee victory.”

”Then what do you mean?”

Xia Fuqu raised an eyebrow.

”Within a month, you only need to contain him, preventing him from striking at those around me.”

Gu Sheng’s eyes flashed with a cold light.

”As for killing him... I have my own method.”

”Method?”

Xia Fuqu and Bai Yu both showed looks of confusion.

”Great Wilderness Holy Academy, Life and Death Arena.”

Gu Sheng’s voice was cold and resolute.

”Xiao Beixuan, he will surely accept the challenge.”

”Life and Death Arena?!”

Xia Fuqu’s pupils shrank slightly, then suddenly realized, showing admiration and... dread.

”What a calculation! What audacity! You want to openly slay him in front of everyone’s eyes, on the Life and Death Arena! Leaving the old ghost behind Xiao Beixuan with nothing to say!

Moreover, he won’t be able to use those shady evil cultivation Divine Skills! Because once exposed, he is as good as severed from the Holy Academy and the East Desolation!”

She looked at Gu Sheng with complex eyes.

”Gu Sheng, you are indeed ruthless! Absolutely decisive! Forcing Xiao Beixuan onto the Life and Death Arena, he has no choice but to accept! And accepting, is a dead end!

Good! I agree with you! Within a month, I will make him exhausted and unable to attend to other matters! A month later, on the Life and Death Arena, I will wait to see his head roll!”

She agreed so readily, clearly also considering it the best way to eliminate Xiao Beixuan, leveraging Gu Sheng’s hand while keeping her own clean.

The intention to cooperate reached, Gu Sheng no longer paid attention to Xia Fuqu and turned to Bai Yu, who was standing aside with a complex expression.

”Elder Bai, regarding the Spirit Emperor Ye Qinglan...”

Bai Yu suppressed the stormy waves in her heart and spoke in a deep voice.

”The Spirit Emperor... indeed remains in Great Wilderness City to guard something. This matter is one of the Holy Academy’s highest secrets, the specific reasons, I cannot elaborate.”
