Chapter 983: Chapter 515: Purple Mist Peak Token_2 "Everyone is right, the sunken wood indeed cannot be lost, but there are many opponents, and their strength is unknown, we can’t rashly proceed." As he said this, he turned his wrist, and a faint red light emerged on his hand. Everyone looked closely and saw that Gu Sheng was holding a fiery red flower! For a moment, everyone was speechless with shock. After a while, someone stammered, "Gu Sheng, did you not only bring back the sunken wood but also this fiery red flower?" "Yes, during the battle with the Qingxia Sect, everyone was wounded. Their methods were despicable, and the injuries couldn’t be healed by divine power. The fiery red flower is needed for complete recovery, so I went to Yin God Mountain." With that, he distributed the fiery red flowers among the people, giving a few extra to those from the Soul Refining Cave. "Your wounds are the deepest, use a few more, it will help you recover faster." Looking at the fiery red flower in their hands, several people were moved to tears. "Brother Sheng, thank you..." "We’re family, no need for thanks, take it quickly, they are about to make a move." Hearing this, everyone quickly consumed the fiery red flower to restore themselves on the spot. Before everyone had fully recovered, the other side had already taken action against the sunken wood. Seeing them lifting the wood, Gu Sheng’s expression changed. "Shi Lou, you and the others stay here and guard everyone, I will go ahead first." After saying that, he leaped forward without waiting for Shi Lou’s response. Gu Sheng’s sudden appearance startled those people, and they hurriedly gathered into a circle, tightly surrounding the sunken wood in the middle. "Who are you? Why are you here?!" Hearing this, Gu Sheng let out a cold laugh. "You appear on my territory under the cover of night, trying to steal my wood, and I haven’t even questioned you, yet you act like the owner!" Saying this, he stepped forward, increasing his aura, pressing the opponents back step by step. "Who exactly are you people? How did you know the sunken wood was in my possession?" "Who we are is none of your concern! Our goal is this sunken wood! Do you think you can stop us alone? Let me tell you, if you know what’s good for you, get out of my way now. I might spare your life, but if not, I’ll kill you now and offer you to this sunken wood!" The man in the green robe suddenly released divine power, taking a bold step towards Gu Sheng, clearly challenging him. Gu Sheng remained still, merely looking at him coldly. "Arrogance in my territory, if you wish to sacrifice lives for the sunken wood, use your own then!" As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Sheng raised his hand, and the Fire Spirit Dagger landed in his palm. Before the opponents could react, the Fire Spirit Dagger in Gu Sheng’s hand was already fiercely thrust out! In the darkness of the night, the flames gleamed, and Gu Sheng was surrounded by a red aura, looking incredibly imposing! In an instant, the opponents were in disarray, struggling to resist while still eyeing the sunken wood. Seeing their persistent greed, Gu Sheng raised his hand and summoned the small tripod. He held both magical treasures, infused them with divine power, and charged at them again. Feeling Gu Sheng’s aggressive advance, the opponents were forced to retreat. Gu Sheng pushed forward, driving them away from the sunken wood, while positioning himself protectively in front of it. Seeing the opponents’ embarrassed state, Gu Sheng’s lips curled into a mocking smile. "With your strength, you dare crave the sunken wood? Overestimating yourselves!" After speaking, Gu Sheng swiftly turned and struck again. The red light sped forward, forcing the opponents to dodge repeatedly. Just as the power of Gu Sheng’s strike dissipated, they suddenly gathered in one place, extending their right hands together. In an instant, a beam of light shot up into the sky, rushing towards Gu Sheng! "I let you take a few moves, and you think your divine power is overwhelming? Now, we will take your life!" Hearing this, the sneer on Gu Sheng’s face deepened. Forced into cooperation, yet still boastful in such a situation, there is no cure for this! Just as Gu Sheng was preparing to confront, Er Gou’s voice suddenly came from afar. "Brother Sheng, don’t worry, we’re here!" Gu Sheng dodged their attack, turned to look, and saw Er Gou and Shi Lou leading the group towards him. Seeing their figures, Gu Sheng’s smile widened. "Since you’re here, kill them all." His offhanded command was taken as an order, and as both sides clashed, everyone unleashed their strongest divine power, resolved not to rest until the enemy’s lives were taken. Er Gou and Shi Lou led the battle, both showing a relentless fighting spirit, pushing forward with far more intensity than usual! Seeing the situation, Gu Sheng knew that they were destined to win this battle. Not bothering with the fight ahead, he turned and headed towards the sunken wood. Arriving next to the wood, he waved his hand, storing all the sunken wood back into the storage ring. With people now targeting the sunken wood, it was clear that the news had leaked. Keeping the sunken wood here was no longer safe; it was better to carry it with him. Just after Gu Sheng collected the sunken wood, the opponents’ expressions changed. "You despicable! Hand over the sunken wood immediately!" Hearing this, Gu Sheng sneered repeatedly. With more than half of their numbers dead or injured, and the rest unable to escape, they still covet the sunken wood, showing their immense greed. Looking at Er Gou, Gu Sheng gave him a meaningful glance. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶 Er Gou understood immediately and circled around behind the opponent. Gu Sheng didn’t move or reply; the opponent seemed especially enraged, charging directly at him from the crowd. Just as he was about to approach Gu Sheng, Er Gou suddenly leaped out from the shadows, delivering a long-prepared strike that brutally broke the man’s legs! With a thud, the man fell in front of Gu Sheng. Looking at the man on the ground, Gu Sheng reached towards his waist. Sure enough, a token hung there. With a strong pull, the token fell into his palm. Seeing his token taken, the man shouted in shock. Hearing his cries, his teammates recklessly rushed towards Gu Sheng! Seeing the situation, Shi Lou quickly led the others to block them, delivering successive attacks, destroying most of their divine power, leaving them trapped. Gu Sheng picked up the token and examined it, frowning slightly upon touching the words engraved on it. "Purple Mist Peak?" As these words were spoken, the opponents’ expressions quickly changed. "We’re not from Purple Mist Peak! This is a stolen token!" Hearing this, Gu Sheng almost laughed. To protect their sect, they would say anything. "By your words, the people of Purple Mist Peak must be quite incompetent, even losing their personal tokens. Such a sect might perish without any external conflict." After Gu Sheng spoke, the man’s face turned pale and purple, struggling to recover for a long time. Seeing his condition, Gu Sheng walked up slowly and stepped on his right hand. Instantly, the man screamed in pain, cold sweat pouring from his forehead. Gu Sheng used the token to catch one drop of sweat, which was immediately absorbed, confirming him as the token’s owner, a member of Purple Mist Peak! "Speak, how did you at Purple Mist Peak find out about the sunken wood’s location?" "I told you, we’re not from Purple Mist Peak!" Seeing him still stubborn, Gu Sheng pressed harder with his foot. Under the severe pain, the man fainted. Seeing him so weak, Gu Sheng smirked and turned to Er Gou, "Wake him up." Just as Er Gou was about to act, Huang Shan stepped forward. "Brother Sheng, we didn’t learn much in the Soul Refining Cave, but we did learn some good methods of torture, let me handle this." With a smirk, Gu Sheng nodded. "Alright, let me see what you’ve learned." Huang Shan strode forward and dragged the man to an open area. He waved his hand, and a dozen silver needles fell into his palm. Seeing this, Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow and flicked a finger to give him a little help.
