Chapter 425 Helping Others Put Out Fires

Following the instructions of the three mountain men, Gu Sheng quickly came to the lake in question.

He summoned his divine power and used the cauldron forged in the sea of ​​suffering.

Following a spell, a large amount of lake water was sucked into the cauldron as if it was compressed.

Soon, Gu Sheng flew back and stood above the palm forest.

Gu Sheng stood above the palm forest and once again summoned his divine power.

The cauldron suddenly appeared, emitting a faint blue light.

"Crash!"

Gu Sheng poured his divine power into the cauldron and followed the spell.

Instantly, the lake water in the cauldron began to rotate, forming a small whirlpool.

"Go!"

Gu Shengsheng shouted and tilted the cauldron.

In an instant, the lake water was like a water dragon, pouring down from the sky and hitting the flames in the palm forest.

"Pfft!"

The collision of water and fire made a loud noise.

Water splashed and smoke filled the air.

Under Gu Sheng's control, the lake water accurately covered every fire spot.

In less than a cup of tea, the fire was quickly suppressed, and in the end only wisps of green smoke remained.

The three mountain people witnessed all this and were so shocked that they were speechless.

They had never seen such a magical force that could control such a large amount of water so easily.

"Thank you so much! We will never forget your great kindness!"

One of the mountain people said excitedly.

"My benefactor! Are you really a god? Please accept our worship."

After saying that, the three mountain men returned directly to Gu Sheng and kowtowed.

Gu Sheng saw that they all looked middle-aged and kowtowed to him, which was a little unreasonable.

He hurried forward and helped them up, "No, don't be like this, get up quickly."

After making the three of them rich, Gu Sheng asked, "Where are you from? How did you encounter a fire here?"

"We are mountain people nearby. We usually go to the mountains to cut firewood, and then send it to the capital not far away to exchange for some money to live."

Another mountain man replied.

As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the capital.

"Capital? Where?"

Gu Sheng asked.

"No, it's in that direction, about thirty miles away."

The mountain man standing in the middle pointed to the northeast and said.

"When we went up the mountain today, for some reason, the palm forest suddenly caught fire. We were in a hurry and were at a loss. Fortunately, we met you."

The third mountain man said, clasping his fists again.

Gu Sheng nodded to express his understanding.

The so-called people rely on mountains to eat mountains, and rely on water to eat water.

In their hearts, mountains are their food, clothing and parents.

If the fire is allowed to spread, they may have no source of income.

However, Gu Sheng also felt a little guilty in his heart. If he hadn't been in a hurry to kill Ji Ren, the fire would not have spread.

But now that I have extinguished the "unknown fire", it's a little better.

Therefore, Gu Sheng planned to give them a small compensation.

Then, Gu Sheng's eyes glanced at the firewood scattered on the ground.

"Uh-huh!"

With a wave of his hand, Gu Sheng used his divine power to pack the firewood neatly together for the convenience of the mountain people to carry.

"Take these firewood, sell them for money, and go back to rest early."

Gu Sheng said gently.

The three mountain people looked at Gu Sheng, their eyes filled with gratitude.

In their hearts, Gu Sheng not only saved their firewood, but also saved their lives.

"My benefactor, we cannot repay your kindness. Please accept this."

One of the mountain men took out a small wooden carving from his arms and handed it to Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng took the wood carving and saw a lifelike bird carved on it.

Although it looks very simple, it has a simple beauty.

"This is the sentiment of our mountain people. Please don't dislike it."

said the mountain man.

Gu Sheng smiled slightly and took the wood carving into his arms: "I will cherish it, thank you."

The three mountain people thanked him again, then picked up the firewood and left along the mountain road.

Gu Sheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he watched the three mountain people retreating away.

For these mountain people, firewood is not only a livelihood, but also the hope of their lives.

Being able to help them today can be considered a good deed.

Gu Sheng glanced at the ashes and turned around to leave.

"Huhuhu..."

Suddenly, a whirlwind blew up from the ashes.

This whirlwind is unusual and seems to be driven by a certain force.

When Gu Sheng saw this, his heart tightened.

Then, he stepped forward to check.

Gu Sheng discovered that the starting point of the whirlwind was exactly where Ji Ren was burned to death.

The whirlwind carried a burst of ashes and blew it far away in a certain direction.

Gu Sheng was secretly shocked.

He couldn't help but think that this might be Ji Hui's remaining mark in Ji Ren's body?

If this is the case, then Ji Hui may have noticed something.

Gu Sheng did not hesitate and immediately used his divine power to turn into a stream of light and fly towards the distance.

Soon, Gu Sheng disappeared.

Ji Hui's strength is unfathomable, so she must be fully prepared.

Gu Sheng was constantly observing the surrounding terrain while flying, looking for a suitable hiding place.

Finally, after flying hundreds of miles, Gu Sheng found a hidden cave.

This cave is located in a steep mountain peak.

This mountain peak is surrounded by dense woods and is difficult to spot.

Gu Sheng immediately entered the cave and used his divine power to hide the entrance of the cave.

After confirming that he was safe, Gu Sheng began to practice.

Time passed quietly during practice, and Gu Sheng's strength continued to improve.

He felt that the divine power of his golden lake was becoming more and more abundant, and at the same time, the cauldron in the sea of ​​suffering was also well tempered.

Just like that, there was no movement for several days.

Gu Sheng made a rough calculation and found that half a month had passed and it was time to get rid of Ji Hui's tracking.

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng tentatively walked out of the cave.

In the distance, Ji Hui was looking for traces of Gu Sheng.

Her face was gloomy, and her eyes flashed with angry fire.

He didn't expect that Gu Sheng could escape from Ji Ren's hands.

"Gu Sheng, no matter where you escape, I will find you!"

Ji Hui's voice echoed in the sky.

Gu Sheng walked out of the cave, and his breath spread with the mountain wind.

He did not notice that these breaths had been captured by Ji Hui's secret whistle.

These secret sentries immediately divided into two groups, one to inform Ji Hui, and the other to follow the direction of the breath.

Soon, these Ji family men found Gu Sheng.

At this time, Gu Sheng also felt an unusual fluctuation.

He looked up and saw several cultivators from the Ji family surrounding him.

"I'll go..."

Gu Sheng was shocked. He didn't expect the Ji family to discover him so quickly.

If I had known that the Ji family would find him so easily, I shouldn't have come out of the cave.

Then, Gu Sheng was ready to leave quickly.

"Gu Sheng, where can you escape!"

A Ji family cultivator shouted loudly.

Then they descended from the sky and arrived around Gu Sheng.

They quickly dispersed and formed a circle, surrounding Gu Sheng in the middle.

Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with coldness, knowing that he had no way to escape.

He took a deep breath, mobilized the divine power in his body, and prepared to fight.

"You Ji family members are really haunted!"

Gu Sheng said coldly.

"That's because you shouldn't mess with the Ji family!"

One of the servants said coldly.

After speaking, he summoned more than a dozen of his men to prepare to attack Gu Sheng.

"Brothers, it's time to perform meritorious service. Capture Gu Sheng alive and there will be a big reward!"

In an instant, those men rushed towards Gu Sheng like crazy.

"My darn thing!"

Gu Sheng's figure suddenly became blurry, shuttling through the surrounding circle like a phantom.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Gu Sheng's palms were swung out like lightning, and powerful power exploded instantly.

The cultivators of the Ji family are not weak, but Gu Sheng is not a vegetarian either.

In addition, Gu Sheng had absorbed the power of the earth and spring water before, as well as the ring that Ji Ziyue had given to him before.

These powers combined together make it easy to deal with it.

Soon, after a few moves, the Ji family's men were knocked away one by one by Gu Sheng like fragile pieces of paper.

Within a moment, all the Ji family members who were chasing them were killed by Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng stood there with some blood on his body.

"We can't let that old woman Ji Hui follow her again."

As Gu Sheng said, he took out the seal removal stone and removed all the marks here.

Then, Gu Sheng left quickly to avoid being caught up again by Ji Hui's men.

"Wow wow wow..."

When Gu Sheng was escaping, he suddenly heard the cry of a child in the jungle.

Gu Sheng, who was already running for his life, didn't want to meddle in such nosy matters.

But then I thought about it, if a child encounters a wild wolf or brown bear in the jungle, he will die alive.

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng stopped and looked for the source of the crying.

Suddenly, Gu Sheng saw a woman holding a stick and fighting against the wolves.

The cry was coming from the child on her back.

"brute!"

Gu Sheng roared loudly and flew forward.

He stood in front of the woman, "Don't be afraid!"

Then, Gu Sheng quickly summoned his divine power.

"boom!"

A powerful aura erupted instantly.

I saw his palm suddenly swung out, and a dazzling light flashed, directly hitting the leader of the wolf pack.

"Ouch!!!"

The alpha wolf let out a shrill howl and then fell to the ground.

With just one move, the alpha wolf was killed.

When the rest of the wolves saw the leader being killed, they howled in fear and fled in all directions.

"It's okay."

Gu Sheng turned around and said to the woman.

The woman looked at Gu Sheng, her eyes filled with gratitude.

The child on her back also stopped crying and looked at Gu Sheng curiously.

Suddenly, the wooden carved bird that the mountain people gave to Gu Sheng fell out of Gu Sheng's arms.

Gu Sheng picked up the wood carving and handed it to the little doll.

"This is for you, don't cry."

Gu Sheng said softly.

When the woman saw this, she was stunned.

She took the wood carving, looked at it carefully, and then said in surprise: "This... this is my husband's carving."

"ah?"

Gu Sheng was also surprised.

Then, he told the story of the wood carvings given to him by the mountain people after putting out the fire.

After listening to Gu Sheng's words, the woman knelt down and worshiped in front of Gu Sheng.

"My benefactor, you not only saved my child, but also our family. We will never forget your great kindness."

Gu Sheng quickly helped the woman up, "It doesn't have to be like this, I just did what I should do."

"My benefactor, if you don't mind, I would like to invite you to our home to express my gratitude."

The woman stood up and said gratefully.

Gu Sheng laughed miserably, "It's better to forget it. I was being chased and had to run for my life."

"What? Chase?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, not expecting Gu Sheng to encounter such trouble.

Then the woman said: "My dear benefactor, this is less than a hundred miles to the west. It is the capital city where my husband often sells firewood. There are countless cultivators in the capital city. It is better to go there to seek help."

"Oh? Are there many people in the capital?"

Gu Sheng asked in surprise.

"Yes, there are a lot of them. Usually the firewood my husband brings can be sold quickly. The supply exceeds the demand."

The woman nodded.

Gu Sheng thought to himself.

Suddenly, several powerful waves of divine power came.

Gu Sheng knew that Ji Hui might be chasing him with someone.

If they don't leave at this time, the mother and son will be harmed.

"Farewell!"

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, he flew up with a "whoosh" sound.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

As soon as Gu Sheng left, a group of people came to the mother and son.

"Was there a young man here just now?"

The visitor asked coldly.

This person was none other than Hua Yunfei, and he was accompanied by several famous figures from the Ji family.

Judging from their appearance and aura, they are all not ordinary people.

"Yes...yes."

The woman nodded.

"Where did he go? Tell us!"

A famous member of the Ji family stepped forward and asked coldly.

"That direction, he fled in that direction."

The woman said, pointing in the opposite direction where Gu Sheng escaped.

"Chase!"

As the famous man spoke, he immediately took Hua Yunfei and the others and flew after him.

"call……"

The woman secretly let out a sigh of relief: "My benefactor, I can only buy you more time in this way."

After saying that, she took her child and left quickly.

Although Hua Yunfei and the others pursued in the opposite direction to the direction in which Gu Sheng escaped, Ji Hui's spiritual consciousness was so powerful that she quickly detected Gu Sheng's real traces.

Her figure was like a stream of light, quickly leading people to catch up with Gu Sheng.

"Gu Sheng, you can't escape!"

Ji Hui's voice sounded like rolling thunder behind Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng stopped and turned to face Ji Hui.

At the same time, Hua Yunfei and other Ji family celebrities also rushed forward.

All of these people looked gloomy and looked like they were going to kill Gu Sheng.

"Gu Sheng, why did you kill Ji Ren and the Ji family's men?"

Ji Hui's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"They wanted to kill me, and I just had to defend myself."

Gu Sheng said coldly.

"Self-defense? Do you think I will believe your lies?"

Ji Hui sneered, and then continued: "If you abolish your cultivation and forget about the Great Void Technique, you can still have a chance of survival, otherwise..."

"Ha ha……"

Gu Sheng couldn't help laughing, "Old woman, do you think I will believe your lies? A chance of survival? Are you fooling me?"

"Hmph! It seems that you can only become a human sacrifice for the Great Void Technique!"

After speaking, Ji Hui waved her hand, and a powerful force came towards Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng's face darkened and he resisted with all his strength. (End of chapter)
