Chapter 858 Meeting Gou Sheng Again
Early the next morning,
Lin Feng and his second senior sister quickly flew towards the Undead Marsh under the watchful eyes of many elders from the Formation Sect.
Along the way,
Second senior sister was drowsy and appeared very tired, which made Lin Feng very nervous.
If second senior sister fell asleep again, something unpredictable might happen, and at that time, he would have no choice but to completely seal her soul!
Sealing one’s soul is not a small matter, and unless absolutely necessary, he didn’t want to do this.
“Little junior brother, what’s our plan next?”
Second senior sister asked while yawning.
“To find Gou Sheng!”
Lin Feng replied.
“Gou Sheng? What do you mean?”
“A follower of sixth senior brother, named Gou Sheng. After you left with eldest senior brother, I happened to meet him. He seems trustworthy!”
Lin Feng explained the whole situation.
He also introduced the three great elders of Star Gate: Jiu You, Lu Li, and Chen Xiangu.
These people were the advance party.
When he learned that sixth senior brother had gone to the Undead Marsh, he had sent them ahead.
“The three great elders of Star Gate? Are they reliable?”
Second senior sister asked with furrowed brows.
“Reliability is relative. As long as I’m around, those three shouldn’t dare to cause trouble…”
Lin Feng said.
Soon after,
The two arrived near the Undead Marsh.
The Undead Marsh was one of the ancient catastrophe battlefields, stretching hundreds of thousands of miles, completely shrouded in strange death energy. There was no sign of life within, only persistent death energy, and occasionally eerie “gegeigei” laughter could be heard, making people shudder.
About a month ago,
The Undead Marsh underwent strange changes, with death energy boiling and spreading.
Some brave adventurers went in to investigate and brought back spirit stones, causing a huge commotion. Cultivators from all over the world were shocked and rushed to check it out.
According to common knowledge,
Spirit stones only form on the legendary immortal path and are extremely rare. Now that the Undead Marsh was producing spirit stones, it was extremely tempting for any cultivator!
Over time,
Cultivators from all over the world gathered at the edge of the Undead Marsh, forming a rather prosperous market.
At this moment,
Lin Feng and second senior sister were walking through the market.
Lin Feng looked around and found that the cultivators in the market weren’t particularly strong, mostly at the Chemistry Spirit, Refined Void, and Integration realms, with occasional Grand Achievement and Tribulation realm cultivators.
These great cultivators were aloof and imposing, drawing attention wherever they went.
“Brother Lin!”
At this time, a joyful voice came from nearby.
It was Gou Sheng, who had come after hearing the news!
After many days, Gou Sheng still had that dog-like appearance, wearing a worn-out Taoist robe, unable to hide his sleazy demeanor.
“Brother Lin! You’re finally here!”
Gou Sheng came forward and gave Lin Feng a hug, very excited and happy.
After all, not long ago,
He had heard rumors that Lin Feng had been surrounded and killed by many powerful cultivators. Seeing Lin Feng unharmed now, he couldn’t help but feel overjoyed!
“And this is?”
Gou Sheng looked at Jiang Yanxi.
“My second senior sister, also Feng Muchen’s second senior sister!”
Lin Feng smiled as he introduced.
Seeing Gou Sheng, he was also somewhat happy, as this was a very festive fellow!
“Greetings, second senior sister! Second senior sister is so beautiful… like a flower.”
Gou Sheng flattered with a fawning expression.
“Not really…”
Second senior sister felt somewhat embarrassed, her face turning red, seeming quite uncomfortable.
In the Abandoned Land, she was definitely a genuine fairy, the center of attention and the goddess in countless men’s hearts.
But in the Spirit Realm, due to her not being very powerful, people rarely paid attention to her…
“I, Gou Sheng, never lie. Second senior sister, your beauty is unmatched. In my opinion, you’re more beautiful than those holy maidens.”
Gou Sheng patted his chest and said very seriously.
“Alright! Let’s not talk about this anymore. You’ve been here for quite a few days, do you have any news about my sixth senior brother? And what about Jiu You and the other two? Why aren’t they here?”
Lin Feng asked.
Hearing this, Gou Sheng’s expression immediately became somewhat unpleasant. He didn’t answer directly, but said in a low voice:
“Brother Lin, this isn’t the place to talk. Please follow me first!”
“Alright!”
Lin Feng nodded.
Then, under Gou Sheng’s lead, the three of them quickly walked towards the front of the market.
Shortly after they left,
A skinny man in gray clothes emerged from a corner. He looked in the direction the three had gone, revealed a cold smile, took out a sound transmission talisman, and said:
“Tell the master, that dog Taoist has appeared!”
……
On the other side,
The three people wound their way through many buildings,
Finally arriving at the front of a rather secluded small courtyard.
The courtyard was dilapidated, very dark inside, as if no one had lived there for many years, very inconspicuous…
“You live here?”
Lin Feng frowned as he looked around at the surroundings that resembled a garbage dump.
Logically speaking,
For Late Tribulation cultivators like Jiu You and the others, even if they weren’t the strongest here, they shouldn’t have to live in such a broken place!
“It’s a long story!”
Gou Sheng sighed.
He carefully pushed open the broken courtyard gate, then led Lin Feng and second senior sister into a room on the western side of the courtyard.
The room was bright and clean, with three beds arranged inside.
The three great elders of Star Gate – Jiu You, Lu Li, and Chen Xiangu – were sitting on the beds, eyes slightly closed, meditating.
Visibly,
The three were in very poor condition,
Their auras were weak, complexions pale, and their clothes were stained with spots of dried black blood, suggesting they had been through fierce battles and suffered serious injuries.
When the three heard the door open, their expressions changed slightly, and they reflexively opened their eyes.
When they saw Lin Feng, they all let out long sighs of relief,
Then their haggard faces showed traces of joy, their eyes even turning slightly red as they struggled to get up from their beds to pay respects to Lin Feng.
“Alright! In your condition, just stay seated.”
Lin Feng gently waved his hand,
An invisible wind blew past, stopping the three who wanted to stand up.
“Thank you for your consideration, Lord Lin!”
The three said gratefully.
Regarding what had happened recently, they had already heard about it and knew how powerful the man before them was, so their expressions were very respectful.
Lin Feng sat down at the table with his second senior sister, first looking around before asking:
“What happened? You three are not weak, how did you end up in such a state?”
“Lord Lin doesn’t know, but for some reason, since we three arrived here, we’ve had nothing but bad luck, everything has gone wrong!”
Jiu You said with a bitter smile.
