Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 53: I Follow the Light's Guide to Save Your Life

Chen Qing's group was at least at the seventh level of Qi Refining, so they traveled at an extremely fast speed.

When they were ten miles away from Sword Abyss, the surroundings were already covered with snakeskins.

Every few steps, a snakeskin would appear.

Xiang Baiyu picked up a snakeskin and rubbed it for a while, "This snakeskin has been shed for more than a month. It seems that the Gu worm has been awake for more than a month."

When they were three miles away from Sword Abyss, there was a huge canyon entrance in front of them.

Before Xiang Baiyu and the others got close, a Wutong Mountain disciple wearing a red Daoist robe walked out of the valley. "What are you people from Taiping doing here?"

Xiang Baiyu chuckled and pointed at Chen Qing's position.

Just as she was about to speak, she found that there was someone else at Chen Qing's position!

She looked around her group, but couldn't find Chen Qing's figure.

Where did that guy go?

She turned her head and swaggered, "We're here to search for Gu worms under the order of Extreme Light Sect."

After a while, a Wutong Mountain disciple wearing a white robe strode out and waved his hand, "You all go back. I'll talk to her."

This person looked no more than thirty years old, and his cultivation was already at the ninth level of Qi Refining. He had a white face and a heroic appearance.

His surname was Huang Shengluan, and he was the leader of the younger generation of Wutong Mountain.

Huang Shengluan frowned and asked, "I haven't given you any news yet, have I?"

"Why are you here now? What if Lotus Flower Cave is alerted? Won't it ruin our plan?"

Xiang Baiyu took two steps forward and wrapped the scarf around her waist, "I don't want to either. Unfortunately, all of us from Taiping Sect are captives of Extreme Light Sect. We can only listen to him."

Huang Shengluan's brows furrowed. She was clearly dissatisfied. "Even the Aurora Sect is involved?"

Xiang Baiyu nodded, "Yes, we have more than fifty people, but none of us is a match for him. We've all become captives."

Huang Shengluan said, "Based on what you said, isn't this person comparable to an ascetic cultivator who has been cultivating for thirty years?"

Xiang Baiyu laughed and said, "Thirty years of spring breeze and morning dew, the Daoist scripture in it, how can it be easily divulged to an outsider?"

Huang Shengluan glanced at Bai Yu's team and became even more vigilant. "Where is he now?"

Xiang Baiyu shrugged. "How would I know?"

Huang Shengluan said helplessly, "Alright, since you've come from afar, why don't you rest in the valley first?"

Xiang Baiyu immediately led the others forward. "Okay, thank you very much."

After taking three steps, Huang Shengluan said again, "Forget it, it's better if you don't get too close to me. It's not good to be exposed."

"As an ambush, it should be better. You guys should enter the valley from another place."

Xiang Baiyu didn't care. He turned around and left with his men.

Huang Shengluan looked at the departing figures of Xiang Baiyu and the others, and his eyes became increasingly gloomy.

After Xiang Baiyu and his men settled down in another valley in Sword Abyss, Chen Qing jumped down from the cliff and landed on the ground with a few steps.

"You sold me out so straightforwardly."

Xiang Baiyu said, "I didn't want to, but that Huang Shengluan invited us into the valley. He clearly wants to ambush us, so I had to use your name to scare him."

"When he invited me into the valley just now, if I hesitated for a moment, I'm afraid he would've attacked instantly."

"Then you won't be able to see such a caring beauty like me again."

Chen Qing didn't want to be entangled with this woman who was already acting like a fool. He flew a few steps and jumped up the cliff. "You settle down here first. I'll go scout around."

After entering the Jianghu, he met these bastards, and none of them were honest.

Standing on the top of a cliff, Chen Qing looked around. The terrain of Sword Abyss looked more and more like a huge sword mark left by someone.

The Sword Abyss was at the center, bottomless.

The surrounding valleys that led to the Sword Abyss were the crevices created by this giant sword mark.

Sometimes, they would turn into fog to cover their tracks.

Chen Qing scouted around and roughly figured out the locations of Lotus Flower Cave, Wutong Mountain, and Carefree Mountain.

Plus, the Taiping Order had just arrived, so it was rather peaceful at the moment.

Nobody wanted to be the first to suffer losses when the spiritual gu appeared.

He rubbed his chin. He wanted to hide here and wait for the right time, but Xiang Baiyu had sold him out.

Since he was already exposed, he might as well expose himself more thoroughly.

Nobody could live in peace!

He muttered for a while and adjusted his voice to make it sound older and hoarser. Then, he leaped toward the camp of Wutong Mountain.

Arriving outside the valleys of Wutong Mountain, Chen Qing kicked a head-sized rock toward the camp of Wutong Mountain.

Huang Shengluan had a sword hanging from his waist and an old man with him. Seeing the bronze grimace on Chen Qing's face, he said with a smile, "I've heard about you from Xiang Baiyu. What brings you here?"

Chen Qing lowered his voice and pretended to be hoarse and old. He said with a smile, "You and I both know the current situation. There's no need to talk about these unimportant things."

"After the spiritual gu appears, you and I will work together to kill the people of Carefree Mountain and Lotus Flower Cave. Then, I'll kill the people of Taiping Order with you."

Huang Shengluan asked, "What do you want?"

Chen Qing said, "The spiritual gu belongs to me. I don't want anything else."

Huang Shengluan yelled angrily, "Don't you think you're going too far?"

Chen Qing laughed. "The sword is in my hand. Since when do you have the right to decide?"

"Saving your lives is already the biggest concession I can make!"

Huang Shengluan said angrily, "Do you mean that without you, we can't even save our own lives?"

Chen Qing turned around and prepared to leave. "Since we can't reach an agreement, I'll go find the people of Lotus Flower Cave."

He had only taken two steps when Huang Shengluan's voice came from behind him. "Okay, let's do it!"

"When will you make your move?"

Chen Qing didn't even turn his head. "When the time is right."

After Chen Qing left, Huang Shengluan asked the old man next to him, "Uncle-Master, do you think what this Extreme Light Order villain said is true?"

The old man said, "It should be true."

"His asking price is too ruthless. If he was feigning civility, he definitely wouldn't ask for such an unreasonable price."

Huang Shengluan said, "Alright, then we'll kill him after we've killed all of the Lotus Flower Cave, Carefree Mountain, and Taiping Order. We'll let him be arrogant for a while longer!"

Moments later, outside the Lotus Flower Cave's encampment, Chen Qing flew up and kicked away a piece of driftwood. Soon, a woman came out with four Lotus Flower Cave disciples to check on the situation.

This woman was dressed in an extremely charming manner. It was a cold day, but she didn't seem to mind the cold at all.

"Extreme Light Sect?"

"Are you the one who captured the Taiping Cult?"

Chen Qing fearlessly walked three steps in front of the woman. "Lotus Fairy, you're quite charming."

The Lotus Fairy said, "What can I do for you to come here so late at night?"

Chen Qing smiled. "You don't have long to live."

"I followed the guidance of the light and came here to save your life."

As for the gathering between Extreme Light Religion and Extreme Light Religion, let me explain it here. For those who can see this, I can only say that everyone can accept it.

The gathering where the protagonist is currently at is only the lowest level of the Extreme Light Order.

As for the Extreme Light Order's ability to transfer spirit stones and Gu worms, Gu worms are a type of Dao. Spirit stones can be seen as pure energy and can be transferred and traded.

Other materials can't be transferred.

In addition, the Extreme Light Order is currently extremely divided and has many factions.

Because I can't spoil too much, I can only hint at it for now.

The predecessor of the Extreme Light Order was very exaggerated. It was the product of division after division.

The predecessor of the Extreme Light Order was not destroyed, but the product of division.

It was similar to the division of three sects.

As for why the Extreme Light Religion became an evil cult, there was a little bit of history that was negated in it.
