As the group continued forward, the smile on Gu Sheng's face gradually disappeared.
In secret, he slightly closed his palm, and Spiritual Energy constantly moved in his palm.
After advancing another hundred meters, his steps came to an abrupt halt.
Seeing him stop, Shi Lou casually asked, "Brother Sheng, are we resting here for the night?"
"No, we are here to kill."
Hearing him speak such murderous words in a cold tone, everyone was startled.
"Kill?"
"Yes, kill. I sense the presence of Real Person Ling Xiao. He must be here, injured. Since we've found him, we ought to strike while he's weak!"
While saying this, Gu Sheng flicked his wrist, and the Fire Spirit Dagger instantly fell into his palm.
"Huang Shan, follow me."
Understanding his intent, Huang Shan immediately came to his side, and the killing intent began to surge from him.
The others exchanged glances, quickly drew their weapons, and followed behind them.
Gu Sheng led the group forward step by step, finally stopping in front of a small cave.
He twitched his nose and, indeed, there was a faint scent of blood here.
It seemed that Real Person Ling Xiao had lingered here due to his severed fingers.
Gu Sheng flicked his fingertip, and a streak of Spiritual Energy flew from it.
In just a moment, the Spiritual Energy returned and landed once more in Gu Sheng's hand.
After sensing carefully, he lightly hooked his lips.
"Very good, only Real Person Ling Xiao is here, which is just perfect for us to strike."
Learning that only Real Person Ling Xiao was here, everyone's eyes brightened.
"Gu Sheng, what are we waiting for? Let's go in and kill him directly, right?"
Hearing Bai Yu's words, the smile at the corner of Gu Sheng's lips grew more sinister.
"Going in to kill him would be too merciful. A person like this should be tortured to death!"
After speaking, he took a step back.
Seeing his movement, the group instinctively followed and retreated.
As they were wondering what Gu Sheng intended to do, Gu Sheng suddenly took Hong Mei's hand, their hands intertwined, and with a twist of the wrists, Gu Sheng's Spiritual Power and Divine Power erupted first.
Sensing his aura, Hong Mei immediately understood and released her own.
Their auras entwined, and with a push of their joined hands, the intertwined aura burst forth powerfully!
After the aura flew out, Gu Sheng shook his wrist again, sending out a flame-like red Spiritual Energy that propelled the front aura violently against the rock wall!
With a booming sound, the entire mountain shook ceaselessly.
He had waited a long time for this moment; now that the opportunity had finally come, he was so excited that his hands trembled!
The group glanced at Huang Shan, then all stepped forward to clear the stones.
Their speed was fast; soon, Real Person Ling Xiao's true form was exposed.
Upon seeing Gu Sheng, his eyes were filled with hatred, but he no longer had the means to fight Gu Sheng.
Seeing Huang Shan step forward along with Gu Sheng, he forced a mocking smile.
"Huang Shan, you're a good dog indeed."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng's expression darkened, and he stomped on the severed finger.
"Huang Shan is my brother. How dare you insult him?! Soon he'll personally end your life!"
Real Person Ling Xiao trembled from the stomp but still fiercely glared at him.
"Gu Sheng, do you think that killing me will utterly destroy our Qingxia Sect? Dream on! Let me tell you, I've prepared quite a few surprises for you!"
With that, a sinister smile appeared on his face, and from somewhere, he pulled out a knife, thrusting it straight towards Gu Sheng's heart!
Seeing his action, Huang Shan's expression changed; he quickly stepped forward, chopping at the arm holding the weapon!
In an instant, Real Person Ling Xiao's arm fell to the ground, and the knife rolled to Huang Shan's feet.
Huang Shan glared at him viciously, hacking at the arm several times until it turned to mush!
Watching his arm being hacked into mush, Real Person Ling Xiao trembled completely.
