Chapter 1052 - 550: One Week Later, You Kill Him

When the ground was stained with blood, Gu Sheng finally put down the Fire Spirit Dagger.

Staring at the person in front of him, he stepped directly onto his broken Longsword.

"The orphan of King Luo, huh? Fine, I’ll spare your life today, but if you dare to mess with my people again, I’ll send you to meet King Yan!"

Hearing this, the man’s head knocked on the ground louder.

"Thank you, brother! Thank you, brother!"

Gu Sheng didn’t look at him again, only said coldly, "Get lost."

After he finished speaking, the man left in a pathetic state with his subordinates.

Just as he was about to step out the door, Lan Yao raised a hand to stop him.

"Why are you in such a rush to leave? You smashed up the inn, shouldn’t you pay? And these bodies, leaving them here to disgust someone?"

Hearing this, the man hurriedly took out Silver and handed it to the Shopkeeper, leaving with the remaining few, dragging the bodies away.

After counting the Silver he left, Lan Yao said, "Shopkeeper, this Silver is enough for you to refurbish the inn. You’ll have to handle the rest on your own."

Having witnessed their strength, how could the Shopkeeper dare to refuse?

Walking out from the back, he repeatedly bowed to the group.

"It’s my fault; I should not have let them stay here. I’m sorry to have troubled you, I’ll handle the rest myself and won’t bother you anymore."

Gu Sheng nodded and led the group away.

On the road, he looked at Shi Lou, frowning, he asked, "Why didn’t you call us if you were bullied?"

"Brother Sheng, I thought I could take them."

Shi Lou answered earnestly, leaving Gu Sheng quite helpless.

"With so many of us here, why show off your strength? What if something really happened?"

"If I really couldn’t handle it, I would have called you."

After he said that, Gu Sheng raised his hand to give him a slap.

"Next time, don’t wait until you can’t handle it. Call us right away, otherwise, it might be too late."

After taking a hit, Shi Lou rubbed his head dejectedly.

"I understand, Brother Sheng."

At this moment, Er Gou approached from the side.

"Shi Lou, I agree with Brother Sheng. If you had called us earlier, maybe we could have saved some of the food. Now it’s all gone, aren’t you hungry?"

Seeing him still thinking about food, Gu Sheng sighed helplessly.

"Did you all wait to eat for me?"

Rubbing his belly, Bai Yu said dejectedly, "We ate last night, but nothing today."

"Alright, let’s find a place to eat first."

As soon as Gu Sheng said that, everyone cheered.

They picked a famous restaurant in Shanshui Town, and finally indulged in a hearty meal.

After eating and drinking their fill, as Gu Sheng prepared to head to the meeting place, he looked up to see those people just walking in through the door!

Seeing the woman leading the group, Gu Sheng was momentarily stunned.

He clearly remembered that the plum blossom on her forehead was red, but now, it had turned black!

When their eyes met, the woman’s expression was indifferent, as if she didn’t recognize them.

Gu Sheng quickly withdrew his gaze and continued with his cleanup.

As they passed by him, Gu Sheng only felt his sleeve move slightly, and quickly raised his hand to grasp it.

After they left, he stood up as well.

"Let’s go, we have important tasks to attend to, let’s hurry."

Hearing his words, the others were puzzled.

The people had clearly arrived, so why did Gu Sheng still want to leave?

Although they didn’t understand, they obediently followed him out.

After rounding a small alley and finding a place to hide, Gu Sheng finally took out a piece of paper.

"The black and white ghosts have kidnapped the Wushuang Taoist, kill them."

Looking at the words on the paper, Gu Sheng frowned.

Wushuang Taoist? Who is that?

Bai Yu, without coming closer, anxiously asked, "Gu Sheng, what does it say?"

Hearing his question, Gu Sheng looked at him.

"Bai Yu, do you know who the Wushuang Taoist is?"

Hearing this, Bai Yu’s eyes widened.

"No way, you don’t know who the Wushuang Taoist is?"

"Should I?"

"Of course! The Wushuang Taoist stood alongside the previous elder of our White Cloud Sect. But over ten years ago, rumors in Jianghu said the Wushuang Taoist failed a breakthrough and thus retreated into seclusion, and the rumors gradually disappeared since then. Such a master, you really didn’t know?"

"No, I’ve never heard of it. Lan Yao, do you know?"

Hearing his question, Lan Yao nodded.

"I’ve heard of it before, knowing that this was a very powerful person. But as Bai Yu said, the rumors faded, and I never heard again."

Having gotten the responses from both, Gu Sheng roughly understood the situation.

After thinking for a moment, he asked Bai Yu again, "Which sect does the Wushuang Taoist belong to?"

"It’s said he has his own sect, but he never engaged in activities within Jianghu, only doing chivalrous deeds, helping the poor by robbing the rich, but no one has ever seen them, so I don’t really know."

Grasping the note, Gu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.

Bai Yu, somewhat puzzled, moved closer to ask, "Gu Sheng, why did you suddenly ask about the Wushuang Taoist? Weren’t we going to meet the people from the Mirror Gate? They’re already here, so why are we leaving?"

"We can’t openly contact them, because they’re also targeting the black and white ghosts."

"What? They’re also targeting the black and white ghosts? Aren’t they supposed to have joined forces with them?"

"That’s just their ploy. In reality, they might be people of the Wushuang Taoist."

After Gu Sheng finished, Bai Yu’s eyes widened.

"Wait a minute, let me catch my breath, review everything from the beginning, I’m a bit dizzy."

Gu Sheng gave him a helpless glance, continuing to ponder the matter.

After a while, he said, "Let’s go back to the inn."

"Brother Sheng, aren’t we going to that place to meet them?"
