Chapter 410: Chapter 229: Haoyang Sect Pursues Gu Sheng curled his lips. "Anyway, you won’t see it anymore! Rest easy and go!" Gu Sheng pulled the lever again, and this time the arrow directly blasted Lu Shu’s head to pieces. "Hah! Finally done." Exhausted, Gu Sheng plopped down on the ground, pulled out a pill to restore his energy, and tossed it into his mouth. At this moment, Gu Sheng was nearly at his limit. Gu Sheng had underestimated Lu Shu’s methods. Without the inherent suppression of Jian Gang over sword momentum, Gu Sheng reckoned his own techniques would have been no match for Lu Shu. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂 Once sword momentum was suppressed, most of Lu Shu’s moves no longer posed much threat to Gu Sheng. Even so, if Gu Sheng hadn’t used the Demon Suppression Golden Scroll at the last moment, things could’ve gone terribly wrong. Lin Tianhao and Lu Shu had been rivals for years, so their techniques were likely neck and neck. Their standings in their sects were also equally extraordinary. If Lu Shu could pull out so many bizarre treasures, Lin Tianhao surely wouldn’t have any less. "Looks like if I do happen to run into Lin Tianhao, running away would be the safer option. After all, the suppression effect of Jian Gang wouldn’t be as pronounced against him." After resting for over twenty minutes and recovering most of his strength, Gu Sheng walked over to Lu Shu’s corpse. Without any qualms, he began rifling through Lu Shu’s belongings. Thanks to the storage pouch, Lu Shu didn’t carry much on her, save for a few mid-grade Yellow Level pills. "This close-fitting armor is pretty good—but..." "Ah, forget it! She’s dead anyway; no harm in taking a look." After hesitating briefly, Gu Sheng couldn’t bring himself to waste the well-made armor. He immediately stripped Lu Shu of her belongings and took off the armor. Gu Sheng wasn’t a pervert. If the armor on Lu Shu hadn’t been particularly high quality, he wouldn’t have stripped her at all. Once he had the armor in hand, Gu Sheng gathered some dried twigs and leaves to cover Lu Shu’s corpse. After igniting the pile, he packed up all valuable items and swiftly left the area. Both Lu Shu and Lin Tianhao had left tracking marks on him. Gu Sheng couldn’t be certain whether Lin Tianhao was nearby. In his current state, if Lin Tianhao suddenly showed up, he likely wouldn’t even have a chance to escape. To be safe, Gu Sheng started moving immediately. For the next three days, Gu Sheng did nothing but desperately rush forward. "Hah! This place is far enough from the Demon Suppression Sect ruins; it should be safe now." After running nonstop for three days, Gu Sheng stopped to rest on a large stone. During these three days, he had been sprinting in a single direction, covering several thousand miles. This Chiyun Secret Realm was indeed enormous. It was far larger than the Chiyun Region. With his current speed, he would’ve crossed the Chiyun Region in six days, but here in the Chiyun Secret Realm, he still hadn’t found its boundary. Along the way, Gu Sheng encountered several beasts with pure bloodlines from the demon lineage, but to save time, he utilized the Shadow Concealment Skill to avoid them. Leaning against the stone to recover, Gu Sheng used pills to rapidly replenish his strength. The Chiyun Secret Realm was fraught with dangers. Every moment, Gu Sheng had to ensure he stayed in peak condition. Two hours later, while resting with his eyes closed, Gu Sheng suddenly opened them and glanced into the distance. "Hmm?" Gu Sheng immediately jumped down from the stone and crouched, listening intently. Soon, urgent footsteps reached his ears. Judging by the sound, it was human footsteps—at least ten people! Gu Sheng quickly climbed up a tall tree and scanned the area. A familiar face appeared in his line of sight. "Damn! Is this guy some kind of hound? He really won’t stop chasing me!" About 700 to 800 meters away, Gu Sheng saw Lin Tianhao leading Haoyang Sect’s most elite members to intercept him. Gu Sheng roughly counted—there were eleven in total! Although these people’s auras didn’t match Lin Tianhao’s, they far surpassed ordinary Golden Bone Realm cultivators. Lin Tianhao alone was already an enormous headache, and now he’d brought an entire group. Gu Sheng had no intention of sticking around to deal with them. He jumped down from the tree and immediately activated his Wind Riding Boots to run away. Seeing Gu Sheng’s retreating figure, Lin Tianhao shouted, "Junior Brother Gu, you have a tracking technique unique to our sect on you. No matter where you go, I can find you. Why waste your strength? Our Haoyang Sect and your Holy Pill Sect have a decent relationship, so why not sit down and talk peacefully?" While Haoyang Sect and Holy Pill Sect indeed had a friendly rapport, such sentiments meant little when facing priceless treasures like the Demon Suppression Golden Scroll and the Vajra Demon Suppression Bell. Gu Sheng would never trust Lin Tianhao’s words so easily. "Senior Brother Lin, do you believe the words you’re saying? If you truly wanted to talk, why bring so many people? Do you think I’m an idiot?" "Would you stop if I came alone to talk?" Lin Tianhao wasn’t a Sword Cultivator, so Gu Sheng’s Jian Gang wouldn’t suppress him as strongly. Defeating him would be difficult, but if he were alone, Gu Sheng had decent confidence in escaping. Though the Wind Riding Boots allowed Gu Sheng to temporarily evade Lin Tianhao and his team, as long as the tracking mark remained on his body, he’d continually be pursued. The Chiyun Secret Realm had a limited activation period, and Gu Sheng didn’t want to waste the remaining time entirely on running. "If you want to talk, come alone!" Gu Sheng dropped the remark and immediately pushed the Wind Riding Boots to their limits, fleeing far into the distance. Hearing this, Lin Tianhao quickly issued a command to the Haoyang Sect members. "Stay here! I’ll go talk to him alone."
