Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1692: Chapter 859: Desolate Valley

Seeing Situ Qingfeng so decisive, the members of the various Divine Sects no longer hesitated.

They evidently had their divisions of labor predetermined, with a King Realm elder leading, followed closely by several to over a dozen Sect Realm Martial Artists, stepping into the Light Gate in an orderly manner, in batches. Heavenly Fire Divine Sect, Glazed God Sect, Longevity Divine Sect... Teams of people quickly disappeared into the Light Gate.

Once the figure of the last Sect Realm Martial Artist vanished into the Light Gate, only the King Realm elders left to guard, along with some disciples responsible for assisting, remained onsite.

While the Light Gate oscillated gently, maintaining stability, the elderly voice of the Longevity Ancestor echoed once more from within the Longevity Divine Sect’s flying boat, this time carrying a hint of cold certainty and murderous intent, clearly reaching the ears of every King Realm elder present.

”Send word down, instruct all Divine Sect personnel lurking within a hundred miles around the Secret Realm, to immediately tighten the encirclement and blockade all possible escape routes!”

The Great Elder of Heavenly Fire Divine Sect, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but change his expression slightly, and asked hesitantly through the air.

”Ancestor, what is this...?”

The Longevity Ancestor’s voice carried a touch of mockery.

”That youngster just now, who shattered my mental suggestion, is no ordinary Body Cultivator! His soul’s characteristics and modus operandi are extremely similar to those described in Gu Sheng’s dossier! I am ninety percent sure that the so-called ’Protector’ beside Situ Qingfeng is actually Gu Sheng, disguised and infiltrated!”

He paused, his powerful Divine Sense like invisible tentacles, instantly locking onto Nangong Yuexia, who had quietly stood at the forefront of the Xiaguang City team!

”Elder Nangong,” the Longevity Ancestor’s voice bore a sense of pressure.

”Your Purple Mist Divine Sect’s collaboration with the Situ Family, are you aware of this matter?”

Nangong Yuexia seemed prepared, and though her face turned slightly pale facing the venerable’s pressure, she remained composed, bowed in salute, and answered respectfully yet unwaveringly.

”Reporting to Ancestor, Yuexia was commanded to cooperate with Young Master Situ to explore the Secret Realm, under the orders of Lord Shen of Xiaguang City. As for who Young Master Situ brought along and their true identity, Yuexia is unaware. My interactions with Young Master Situ are mostly at the behest of the City Lord Mansion, I’m simply following orders.”

She deftly shirked responsibility onto Shen Wuguang, keeping herself entirely free of blame.

The Longevity Ancestor’s Divine Sense lingered on her for a moment, as if judging the truthfulness of her words. Shen Wuguang, listening from the side, broke into a cold sweat but dared not interrupt.

A moment later, the Longevity Ancestor snorted coldly.

”Hmph, I’ll assume you wouldn’t dare deceive me. Believe you for now.”

He withdrew his Divine Sense from Nangong Yuexia, but the lethal intent blanketing the scene did not disperse.

”Order all factions to closely monitor the Secret Realm’s exit! Upon sighting Gu Sheng, kill without mercy!”

In a flash of light, a sensation of spatial distortion emerged, and in the next moment, Gu Sheng and Situ Qingfeng found themselves standing firmly on solid ground.

They looked around, discovering that the place they were now was entirely different from the desolate valley they had entered through.

Here, clouds and mist swirled, the dense nature’s spiritual energy billowed like tidal waves, with each breath, one felt their cultivation subtly growing. In the sky, multi-colored radiance flowed like auroras, soaring into the heavens, illuminating the entire Secret Realm in a splendid and mysterious manner, akin to being in an Ancient Immortal Realm.

”Is this inside the Golden Wing Ridge Secret Realm?”

Situ Qingfeng examined the surroundings curiously, soon noticing that besides the two of them, none of the other Martial Artists who had entered the Light Gate earlier were visible.

Gu Sheng too had long noticed, his eyes sweeping over the empty surroundings.

Situ Qingfeng explained.

”Gu, the teleportation mechanism of this Secret Realm entrance seems somewhat special. According to the information left by my mother, if one simultaneously enters the Light Gate with physical contact, there’s a high probability of being teleported to the same area.

But if entering in different batches, or without contact, they would be randomly teleported to various corners of the Secret Realm. It seems the others have been scattered.”

Gu Sheng nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.

He focused his thoughts and immediately perceived the presence of the Spirit Embryo Incarnation formed by Gu Ling’er. The invisible soul connection with the Incarnation was incredibly clear, and in his perception, the Incarnation was also within this Secret Realm, roughly a hundred miles away from his main body.

He immediately diverted a portion of his mind, switching to the Incarnation’s perspective.

Where the Incarnation stood seemed to be a sparsely populated Ancient Forest.

And accompanying the Incarnation in the teleportation wasn’t anyone else; it was the female advisor from Shen Wuguang’s mansion, who seemed to have an ambiguous relationship with ”Yun Qing” in the team!

At this moment, seeing no one around, the female advisor’s expression, previously somewhat subdued in public, suddenly became enchanting, her watery eyes directly fixed on Gu Sheng, brimming with alluring charm.

”Senior Brother...”

Her voice was soft, carrying a hint of seductive huskiness as she gracefully approached the Incarnation.

”Finally found the chance to be alone with you. Remember last time, in that small grove behind the City Lord Mansion’s mountain... You’re so bad.”

She extended slender jade fingers, seemingly to hook the Incarnation’s chin, her tone becoming increasingly revealing.

”In this Secret Realm, now it’s just the two of us, isn’t it divine providence? Why don’t we find a secluded spot to... reminisce a bit? Your junior sister misses you dearly...”

Gu Sheng, perceiving all this through the Incarnation, subtly furrowed his brow.

He controlled the Incarnation, remaining expressionless, not reacting to the female advisor’s seduction, merely looking at her with indifferent eyes.
