Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1348 - 698: Silent

He didn’t want to implicate this stranger who had just helped them.

"Where did this stray dog come from, daring to meddle in the affairs of Young Master?"

The leading young man in a purple robe turned around, his face full of arrogance.

He seemed to be in his early twenties, with handsome but sinister features. The jade pendant at his waist had the word "Luoyun" inscribed on it, clearly indicating his extraordinary status.

Gu Sheng ignored the purple-robed youth’s rant, his gaze fell on Mu Xi’s red and swollen cheeks, his brow furrowing slightly.

"What’s going on?"

"Senior, leave quickly!"

Mu Feng’s voice was hoarse.

"They are..."

"Shut up!"

The purple-robed young man kicked Mu Feng’s knee, the sound of bone cracking was clearly audible.

Mu Feng groaned and fell to the ground, but still used his body to protect his sister.

The purple-robed youth looked downward at Mu Feng from a height, sneering.

"I am Young Master Qin, the son of Luoyun City’s City Lord. You bumpkin collided with Young Master on the street and didn’t apologize, and now you bring a clueless helper?"

Mu Xi cried out and rushed to her brother’s side.

"You obviously deliberately ran into my brother, and robbed our..."

"Slap!"

Young Master Qin backhanded another slap, knocking Mu Xi to the ground.

"Even a lowly girl dares to interject?"

Mu Feng’s eyes were filled with rage, struggling to get up, but was pinned down by two strong men.

Young Master Qin contemptuously chuckled, squatting down to pat Mu Feng’s face.

"Want to save your sister? That’s fine. I’ll give you a chance—tear off her clothes with your own hands, and I’ll let you leave."

There was dead silence in the corridor, only Mu Xi’s suppressed sobbing.

The subordinates behind Young Master Qin let out obscene laughter, some even whistled.

Gu Sheng watched coldly, evaluating Mu Feng’s strength in his mind.

This young man appeared downcast, but the way his spiritual power circulated within was quite peculiar, as he had reached the Early Stage of the Earth Palace Realm.

It was known that a loose cultivator without the support of sect resources reaching the Earth Palace Realm at this age meant his talent was definitely not poor.

"Amazing talent... at all costs..."

Gu Sheng murmured to himself, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"Mu Feng... interesting."

He turned, his robe fluttering without wind, a strand of black hair slipping from his tied hair, hanging beside his angular cheek.

The spiritual power fluctuations coming from the other end of the corridor caught his attention.

"Earth Palace Realm Late Stage?"

Gu Sheng furrowed his brow slightly.

"This aura... unstable and hollow, as if piled up with elixir pills."

He walked forward slowly, his footsteps barely audible. Turning the corner, the scene before him stopped him in his tracks.

Mu Feng was kneeling on one knee, blood seeping from the corners of his mouth, his right hand tightly gripping a blue longsword, the blade already showing dense cracks.

In front of him, a brocade-clad youth stood with his hands behind his back, a disdainful smile on his face.

"With such skill, you call yourself a genius?"

The brocade-clad youth—Young Master Qin sneered.

"Your tribe’s judgment is really terrible."

Mu Feng gritted his teeth and raised his head, eyes burning with unyielding flame.

"Young Master Qin, I have no grudge against you, why keep pushing me?"

"Why?"

Young Master Qin exaggeratedly spread his arms.

"Because I don’t like you, is that reason good enough?"

The followers behind him let out harsh laughs. One stepped forward, pointing at Mu Feng.

"Young Master Qin is the Young Master of Luoyun City, a country bumpkin like you doesn’t deserve to stay at Immortal Pavilion with Young Master Qin."

Mu Feng’s sword-holding hand shook slightly, not from fear, but from anger.

He could feel his spiritual power almost exhausted, while the opponent was still leisurely.

"Brother!"

A crisp female voice came from the other end of the corridor.

Mu Xi hurried forward but stopped abruptly when she saw Young Master Qin and the others, her face turning pale instantly.

"Oh, isn’t this Mu Feng’s sister?"

Young Master Qin’s eyes brightened.

"Perfect timing, a warm reunion of siblings."

Mu Xi’s gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Gu Sheng standing in the shadows.

Her eyes brightened as if grasping a lifeline.

"Senior Gu!"

Mu Xi hurried to Gu Sheng’s side, her voice choked with sobs.

"Please save my brother!"

Gu Sheng did not immediately respond, just calmly looked at the situation in the field.

Young Master Qin then noticed there was another person in the shadows, squinted his eyes and assessed.

"Who is this idle person?"

Young Master Qin snorted coldly.

"If you are sensible, get lost and don’t meddle."

Gu Sheng finally moved, stepping out of the shadow slowly.

"Meddling?"

Gu Sheng chuckled faintly.

"I am merely passing by."

Mu Xi was so anxious that tears were about to fall.

"Senior Gu, my brother he..."

Gu Sheng raised his hand to stop her, his gaze fell on Mu Feng.

"You are Mu Feng?"

Mu Feng reluctantly stood up, looking at Gu Sheng vigilantly.

"It is indeed me, elder."

"Your talent is remarkable."

Gu Sheng nodded.

"But sadly, your cultivation technique is too inferior."

Young Master Qin was infuriated by this sudden assessment.

"Who are you? Daring to comment here!"

He abruptly raised his hand, a scarlet spiritual power shot towards Gu Sheng like a venomous snake.

The spiritual power contained the pressure of the Earth Palace Realm Late Stage, causing the lanterns on both sides of the corridor to sway incessantly.

"Careful!"

Mu Feng instinctively shouted.

Gu Sheng didn’t even lift an eyelid, casually extending his right hand, five fingers spread open.

The spiritual power that could shatter a giant rock suddenly froze three inches from his palm, then dissipated silently.

"What?"

Young Master Qin widened his eyes, looking at this scene incredulously.

Gu Sheng then lifted his gaze towards Young Master Qin, his eyes cold.

"You dare to be presumptuous in front of me with cultivation stacked up by elixir pills?"

Before the sound of his voice fell, Gu Sheng’s figure had disappeared from where he stood.

Young Master Qin only felt a blur before his eyes, followed by an intense pain on his cheek.

The whole of him was lifted by a tremendous force, heavily striking a pillar in the corridor.
