Chapter 905: Chapter 476: Qingxia Mountain Range (2) Shi Lou is tall and muscular. Shi Shanlin, on the other hand, is thin with sharp eyes, both are outstanding figures in the village. After leaving the village dozens of miles behind, Gu Sheng and his companions were suddenly blocked by a group of cultivators. These cultivators were dressed in uniform attire, obviously members of a certain sect. "Stop! This road is closed!" One cultivator shouted loudly. Gu Sheng stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying, "I am a mountain folk from Stone Village, just passing through, with no ill intentions." "Passing through?" That cultivator sneered, "This is Qingyun Sect’s territory; without permission, you may not trespass." Shi Lou and Shi Shanlin gripped their weapons tightly, their faces filled with anger. Gu Sheng remained calm because he knew that forcing the way through now was unwise. After all, he wasn’t familiar with the situation of this Qingyun Sect. However, based on his Divine Sense probing, these cultivators were at most in the Divine Bridge Realm. Compared to his Dao Palace Realm, the difference was astronomical. This should be the reason they were so brazenly intercepting them. A calf, after all, has never seen a tiger! "We truly are just passing through, with no other purpose." Gu Sheng explained again. "Hmph, regardless of your purpose, today you must stay!" The leader of the cultivators stepped out from the crowd, eyes revealing a hint of greed. Gu Sheng’s heart sank, momentarily speechless. Just now they weren’t allowed past, and now they say to stay? Could this really be a road robbery? Gu Sheng then turned to Shi Lou and Shi Shanlin and asked, "Have you two heard of this Qingyun Sect?" Both shook their heads simultaneously, "No, we’ve only heard of Qingxia Sect, as for Qingyun Sect, this is the first time." Gu Sheng nodded thoughtfully, "I see, it seems to be a new sect." Upon realizing this, Gu Sheng chuckled faintly, "Brothers of Qingyun Sect, we’re all newcomers here, no need to make it difficult for us, moreover..." Gu Sheng had yet to finish speaking when the leading cultivator stepped forward and coldly reprimanded, "Newcomers? Hmph! We are but a branch of Qingxia Sect! Let me tell you, provoking us means provoking the Qingxia Sect!" "Uh..." Gu Sheng was speechless. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺 Unexpectedly, there was another Qingxia Sect. Next, Gu Sheng turned again and asked, "Have you heard of Qingxia Sect?" Shi Lou nodded, "Yes, Qingxia Sect is massive and has many experts, we... we might not be able to afford to offend them." "Right, Brother Sheng, why don’t we run?" Shi Shanlin also said somewhat sheepishly. Gu Sheng was unconcerned, chuckling lightly, "Alright, got it." After speaking, Gu Sheng turned to look at the commanding cultivator. "Hey! Brother, do you know who’s backing me?" The leader raised an eyebrow, clearly curious about Gu Sheng’s question, "Oh? Who’s backing you?" Gu Sheng straightened up and deliberately said, "Chen Da Huzi." "Haha..." The leader bust out laughing on hearing the name, "So it’s one of our own, just water flooding the Dragon King’s Temple, the family doesn’t recognize family." Gu Sheng felt a stir inside, yet maintained a composed exterior, "One of our own? What do you mean by that?" The leader laughed and said, "Seems you don’t know, Chen Da Huzi and our branch of Qingxia Sect have a bit of rapport, we are all under Qingxia Sect." "Oh, so that’s how it is." Gu Sheng finally understood, it turns out that Chen Da Huzi and Qingyun Sect are branches under Qingxia Sect. Moreover, Chen Da Huzi even has some rapport with the leader of Qingyun Sect. No wonder Chen Da Huzi is so audacious, he has backing! "So that’s how it is, it indeed was a misunderstanding." Gu Sheng cupped his hands and said with a smile, "It seems it was indeed a misunderstanding, we have urgent matters with Boss Chen, can you let us know his exact location?" The leader nodded, "Certainly, Chen Da Huzi is on the east side of Qingxia Mountain, you follow this path and you’ll see his camp." "Thank you, brother." Gu Sheng thanked him. "You’re welcome, since we’re all one family, if you need help in the future, feel free to ask." The leader waved his hand. Gu Sheng nodded, then continued ahead with Shi Lou and Shi Shanlin. They were somewhat surprised, not expecting the situation to turn around like this. Originally thought to be a tough fight, it turned out to be easily resolved thanks to Chen Da Huzi. "Brother Sheng, seems Chen Da Huzi’s name is quite useful." Shi Lou remarked with a smile. Gu Sheng nodded, "Indeed, but we must remain vigilant, Qingxia Sect is powerful, we must tread cautiously." Shi Shanlin also nodded in agreement, "Exactly, better to be careful." Then, the trio began heading towards Qingxia Mountain. Not long after, they arrived at the foot of Qingxia Mountain. Qingxia Mountain stretches for dozens of miles, making it impossible to locate Chen Da Huzi’s whereabouts. Consequently, Gu Sheng stirred his Divine Power, trying to sense any Energy Fluctuation in Qingxia Mountain. After sensing, Gu Sheng found that there was a strong energy fluctuation at the mountain top, likely the Qingxia Sect’s lair, while another weaker energy fluctuation was at the mountain foot, probably Chen Da Huzi’s territory. "This way." Gu Sheng led the two towards that direction. They navigated through the dense forest, the surrounding trees were tall with lush foliage, sunlight scattered daintily through the gaps. After walking for about an hour, they arrived at a secluded valley. The valley had a few simple wooden huts, smoke curling up, obviously inhabited. "Looks like this is the place." Gu Sheng said softly. Shi Lou and Shi Shanlin nodded, trying to discern the situation inside. Suddenly, dog barks emerged from the valley. "Woof woof woof..." Immediately, several hunting dogs rushed out. Gu Sheng’s eyes sharpened, realizing they might have been discovered. The barking echoed through the valley, breaking the original tranquility. "Be careful!" Gu Sheng cautioned in a low voice, while secretly stirring Divine Power to handle the incoming hunt dogs. Shi Lou and Shi Shanlin instantly tensed up, they gripped their weapons tightly, ready for battle. The speed of those hunting dogs was extremely fast, rushing straight towards the trio. Gu Sheng didn’t hesitate, his body moved swiftly like lightning towards the dogs. His palm, imbued with mighty Divine Power, thrust directly at the dogs’ vital areas. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" A few muffled sounds, each dog was struck by Gu Sheng. "Whimper whimper whimper..." Those hunting dogs were directly forced back, whined a few times, and collapsed silently on the ground. At the same time, Chen Da Huzi rushed out of the huts with over ten followers. Their speed was fast as well, apparently alarmed by the hunting dogs’ barks. Shi Lou and Shi Shanlin immediately recognized Chen Da Huzi. Their eyes boiled with anger, directly questioning, "Chen Da Huzi, how is Er Gou?" Seeing Shi Lou and Shi Shanlin, Chen Da Huzi first froze, then burst into laughter, "So it’s the riffraff from Stone Village daring to come here." Gu Sheng’s eyes chilled, "Chen Da Huzi, we didn’t come here for jokes, where’s our friend Er Gou?" "Your friend? That boy is in my hands now, if you wish for him to live, you better obediently follow my commands." Chen Da Huzi put away the smile, a grim look flashing in his eyes. Shi Lou furiously clenched his fist and shouted, "You harm Er Gou a single hair, I will make you regret it." "Exactly! Dare to touch Er Gou and Stone Village won’t let you off!" Shi Shanlin added resentfully. "Tch!" Chen Da Huzi looked at them dismissively, seemingly not even considering them a threat. "Just you two? Better wash up and go to bed!" Chen Da Huzi sneered. At this point, Gu Sheng stepped forward, "Chen Da Huzi, what is it that you want?"
