Chapter 369 Escape

During his escape, Gu Sheng unexpectedly returned to Mr. Jiang's small restaurant.

The kind old man saw him coming back in such a mess, and did not ask any questions. He just quietly prepared a clean room and a sumptuous dinner for him.

Gu Sheng was very grateful for this kindness. He knew that at this critical moment, any help from anyone was precious.

He could not stay for long. After the night fell the next day, he quietly left the town and continued his escape.

Three days later, Gu Sheng finally escaped to a prosperous city in Yan State. There were many people, wide streets, many shops, and a lot of traffic. He felt that only the vast sea of ​​people could hide him and let him get rid of the shadow of pursuit temporarily.

Gu Sheng was exhausted from running on the road for these days. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he entered the city.

When he wanted to find some food to fill his stomach, he found that he was penniless, which made him smile bitterly. It was really a rainy night when the house was leaking!

It was already noon, and the streets were filled with the aroma of various delicacies, but Gu Sheng could only wander the streets with an empty stomach.

At this moment, a familiar and indifferent voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Hey, isn't this Gu Sheng? How did you fall to this point?"

Gu Sheng turned his head and saw a woman in gorgeous clothes staring at him coldly. The woman was beautiful and elegant. It was his ex-girlfriend Lin Qingyu. Now she has joined the respected Ziyang Cave Heaven and become a practitioner.

Seeing Gu Sheng's miserable appearance, Lin Qingyu's eyes flashed with disdain and arrogance.

She once had expectations for Gu Sheng, but now it seems that he has completely fallen into a beggar-like existence, which makes her feel extremely disappointed and contemptuous.

"Lin Qingyu..." Gu Sheng gritted his teeth and spat out these three words, his heart full of humiliation and anger, "Are you here to see my joke?"

"Humph, you are wrong." Lin Qingyu snorted coldly, "I just came to see how miserable you, a former genius, are now. It seems that you are really nothing after leaving me."

Gu Sheng was furious when he heard this. He clenched his fists and his aura surged, but then he calmed down. He knew that his current strength could not compete with Lin Qingyu at all, and he didn't want to lose his composure in front of this woman.

So he took a deep breath and said, "Are you great now? You are just a dog in Ziyang Dongtian!"

"You!" Lin Qingyu was angered by Gu Sheng's words. She stared at Gu Sheng with a sullen face for a while, then snorted coldly and turned away, "Humph! You don't know what's good for you! Just continue to beg on the street!" After that, she left without looking back, leaving Gu Sheng alone in a daze.

He looked at Lin Qingyu's departing back, his heart filled with bitterness and helplessness. He knew that he and this woman were completely over, and there was no possibility anymore.

At this moment, a strong breath suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping Gu Sheng in it, "Haha! Finally found you!" A arrogant voice sounded in the sky, "Gu Sheng, where do you want to escape this time?"

Gu Sheng looked up and saw a group of knights in Jiang family costumes flying in the sky. They stared at him aggressively, as if they wanted to eat him alive, and the leading knight was the Jiang family master who had chased him before!

At this moment, the pedestrians on the street were frightened by this sudden change and fled everywhere, but Gu Sheng stood there without moving. He knew that he had no way out and could only fight to the death to survive.

"You finally caught up..." Gu Sheng took a deep breath and said slowly, "In this case, let's end it!" After that, his momentum surged, ready to welcome the next life-and-death battle.

The Jiang family knights in the sky also drew their weapons and prepared for battle. For a moment, the whole street was filled with a solemn and tense atmosphere.

A fierce battle is about to break out!

Gu Sheng flashed and rushed towards the Jiang family knights.

His speed was extremely fast, like lightning, dazzling people.

His fist flashed with golden light, as if it contained endless power.

"Bang!"

Gu Sheng's fist hit a Jiang family knight hard. The knight was struck by lightning and flew out. He fell heavily to the ground and fell unconscious.

The other knights were shocked when they saw this. They didn't expect Gu Sheng's strength to be so strong.

"Nine Swords of Gale!"

Gu Sheng shouted in a low voice, and his figure flashed again. The Xuantian Sword in his hand turned into nine sword lights, attacking the remaining eight knights respectively.

Those knights couldn't see the trajectory of Gu Sheng's swordsmanship at all, and could only dodge by instinct.

Gu Sheng's swordsmanship was so strange and unpredictable that several knights were stabbed and fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.

"Shadow Hiding Skill!"

Gu Sheng's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, as if blending into the darkness.

The remaining knights looked around in panic, trying to find Gu Sheng's trace.

But they found that they had lost their target and could not lock Gu Sheng's position at all.

At this moment, Gu Sheng suddenly appeared from behind a knight and slapped him on the back of his head.

The knight fainted on the ground without even a groan.

Seeing this, the other knights drew their weapons and looked around vigilantly, fearing that Gu Sheng would suddenly attack from the darkness.

Gu Sheng did not continue to attack, but stood there, looking at them coldly.

"You are not my opponent, go back and tell Jiang Yifei and Jiang Caixuan that I, Gu Sheng, will come back! Let them clean their necks and wait for me!" After saying that, he turned and left, leaving a group of Jiang family knights looking at each other in bewilderment.

They knew that they had encountered a powerful opponent today, and this person also threatened to come back to trouble the Jiang family, which made them feel extremely panicked and uneasy.

At this moment, Gu Sheng had disappeared in the vast sea of ​​people and continued his escape.

"Swish--" A sound of breaking wind sounded, and Gu Sheng's figure shuttled through the jungle like a ghost. Behind him, the knights of the Jiang family chased him closely, but they could never touch the corner of his clothes.

Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with a trace of determination, and he knew that he could not keep fleeing like this. At this moment, a prosperous city came into view, and he moved his heart and decided to blend into the crowd to get rid of the pursuers.

Entering the city, the hustle and bustle instantly surrounded Gu Sheng. His shabby clothes were out of tune with the prosperity of the city, attracting the attention of passers-by. At this moment, a familiar voice came into his ears: "Gu Sheng, is that you?"

Gu Sheng turned around and saw that it was Lin Qingyu. A flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. Several young men and women who were traveling with her looked disdainful, and one of them even said rudely: "Where did the beggar come from? Don't block the road!"

"He is my neighbor." Lin Qingyu said, with a hint of complex emotions that were not easily detected in her voice.

"Oh? Your neighbor?" A man raised his eyebrows and looked up and down at Gu Sheng, "Looking at his poor appearance, you are also embarrassed to recognize him as a neighbor?"

Gu Sheng had a blank expression on his face, as if he had not heard these words. He knew that he was indeed down and out now, but he would never bow his head because of this.

"Okay, stop talking." Lin Qingyu interrupted the man, "Gu Sheng, you...how did you become like this?"

"Nothing, just encountered some troubles." Gu Sheng said lightly, he did not want to explain his experience too much.

"Oh, he looks so pitiful, let's give him some money, let him buy some decent clothes." Another man said, taking out a handful of copper coins from his arms and throwing them on the ground.

Gu Sheng looked at the copper coins on the ground, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and turned to leave.

"Stop! Who told you to leave?" The man who had spoken rudely before suddenly blocked Gu Sheng.

"Our Qingyu sister talked to you, and you just left like that? Don't you take our Ziyang Dongtian too seriously?"

Gu Sheng frowned, he didn't want to conflict with these people, but the other party obviously didn't intend to let him go.

At this moment, a strong breath suddenly burst out from Gu Sheng, shaking the surrounding air slightly.

"The secret realm of the wheel sea opens up the sea of ​​suffering!" Someone exclaimed.

The wheel of life under Gu Sheng's navel began to rotate slowly, and the shadows of mountains, rivers, lakes, flowers, birds and beasts emerged in it, and the golden waves were rolling endlessly, and the breath was mighty.

His body seemed to be enveloped by golden light, and the aura of an ancient holy body spread.

Everyone looked at this scene in astonishment. They did not expect that this seemingly down-and-out boy actually had such a powerful cultivation.

Gu Sheng ignored their surprise and turned and strode away.

He knew that he could not stay here for long, otherwise it would only cause more trouble.

"Brother, he..." Lin Qingyu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a man beside him.

"Let him go! Not everyone can mess with our Ziyang Dongtian!" The man snorted coldly.

Although they were shocked by Gu Sheng's cultivation and vision in their hearts, they still maintained arrogance and disdain on the surface.

Gu Sheng's figure gradually disappeared in the crowd, and his appearance also caused a lot of commotion in Ziyang Dongtian.

Lin Qingyu looked at Gu Sheng's departing back, and a trace of complex emotions flashed in her eyes.

She knew that this former neighbor was no longer the unknown boy.

His appearance might bring a storm to this world.

At the same time, in another corner of the city, the knights of the Jiang family were searching for Gu Sheng's traces.

They didn't know that the target they were chasing had quietly left the city and fled to a farther place.

After flying for a few days, Gu Sheng approached a barrier - came to Ziyang Cave Heaven.

Gu Sheng stood in front of the mountain gate of Ziyang Cave Heaven, his heart surging. This was not only because he finally found a refuge to avoid the pursuit of the Jiang family, but also because he was about to step into a brand new, unknown world of cultivation.

"Boom boom -" The stone tablet in front of the mountain gate seemed to feel Gu Sheng's arrival, making a low roar, and purple air lingering, like a dream.

Gu Sheng's eyes were attracted by several young men who had been kneeling in front of the mountain gate for a long time. Their eyes were full of desire and unwillingness, as if they were telling the hardships on their own road to cultivation.

"Please, give us another chance!"

"We have worked so hard for so long, we really don't want to give up just like that!"

The young men's pleas came one after another, but the cultivator in charge of the assessment had no expression on his face, as if he was used to such scenes.

Gu Sheng's heart moved, he walked forward, bowed deeply, and said sincerely: "Seniors, the road of cultivation is difficult, why not give them a chance to let them prove their worth?"

The examiner frowned and was about to get angry, but was moved by the sincerity in Gu Sheng's eyes. He pondered for a moment and finally nodded: "Okay, since you said so, give them another chance."

The young men cheered, and Gu Sheng took the opportunity to mix in with the crowd who passed the test and stepped into the Ziyang Cave Heaven.

The spiritual energy here is so rich that it is suffocating. Every breath seems to be able to inhale the essence of the whole world. The purple air lingers between the mountains, as if the light of the scorching sun passes through the sky, dyeing the whole world with a layer of mysterious purple.

Gu Sheng strolled in the cave, feeling the mystery and extraordinary here. He came to a quiet bamboo forest, and the breath here made him feel particularly comfortable.

"This is it." Gu Sheng said in his heart, sat cross-legged, and began to try to refine the mysterious "source".

This "source" contains a huge amount of life essence, as if it is a small life universe. Gu Sheng carefully smelted it, fearing that he would accidentally cause some unpredictable consequences.

As time went by, Gu Sheng felt that his cultivation was steadily improving. On the night of the sixth day, something strange happened!

"Boom boom -" The golden bitter sea suddenly surged, making a terrifying sound. Gu Sheng was startled and quickly suppressed the movement of the bitter sea.

But it was too late. A middle-aged man appeared in front of Gu Sheng out of thin air. He had a keen sense of perception and unfathomable strength. He was the second master of Ziyang Cave Heaven!

"Boy, what were you refining just now?" the middle-aged man asked coldly.

Gu Sheng's heart tightened, but he knew that he could not reveal any flaws. He took a deep breath and said calmly: "Junior is just practicing, not refining anything."

A trace of doubt flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, but he did not delve into it. He was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "If you have the 'source' in your hand, I am willing to exchange it with endless wealth."

Gu Sheng's heart moved, but he still shook his head firmly: "Junior does not have the 'source' and cannot be exchanged."

The middle-aged man looked at Gu Sheng deeply and turned away. Gu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had escaped for the time being.

The next morning, several young monks broke into the bamboo forest. They looked at Gu Sheng with surprise and curiosity in their eyes.

"Why are you here?"

"Do you have the 'source' in your hand?"

The young monks asked in a flurry, as if they wanted to see through Gu Sheng. Gu Sheng kept smiling and answered their questions one by one, but he never revealed any information about the "source".

Half an hour later, Lin Qingyu also came to the bamboo forest. She looked at Gu Sheng, with a complicated light in her eyes. (End of this chapter)
