They respectfully followed Gu Sheng’s orders, daring not to move even as they were about to reach their limits, but the pain they endured was unimaginable to others.
Seeing them like this, the people of Kunming Mountain were sweating for them.
Gu Sheng sensed this and felt somewhat shaken inside.
He looked up at the door, and after sensing the aura inside, he gritted his teeth, flicked his fingertips, and several strands of aura flew out and landed directly on Shi Lou and the others.
With Gu Sheng’s aura blessing them, Shi Lou and the others suddenly felt a lightness come over them, and the discomfort dissipated by more than half, even the sweat on their foreheads stopped.
Like this, they endured until nightfall.
As the surroundings returned to silence, the veins on Lan Yao’s forehead were throbbing.
"Gu Sheng..."
Hearing the tone of his voice, Gu Sheng worried he would say something unpleasant, so he quickly raised his hand to stop him.
"We’ve waited this long; we can’t throw away our efforts now."
Lan Yao’s anger was already at his throat, but hearing Gu Sheng say this, he forcibly held it in.
So they waited for another full night.
When the sky brightened again, the people of Kunming Mountain were shocked.
They couldn’t believe that Gu Sheng and the others could stand under Wang Chunshi’s aura suppression for two whole days and nights!
In all honesty, if it were them, regardless of whether they were strong or weak, they couldn’t bear the pressure from an authority like this! But Gu Sheng and the others endured it as if it were effortless!
For a moment, everyone looked at them with a hint of admiration.
Just as everyone was whispering among themselves, the door in front of Gu Sheng suddenly opened.
Hearing the sound, Gu Sheng quickly raised his head.
No one was visible inside, but the aura was heavy.
"Come in."
A deep voice rang out, and Gu Sheng let out a long sigh of relief.
As he lifted his leg to walk inside, a weak voice suddenly came from behind him.
Turning his head, he saw Shi Lou and the others swaying unsteadily, only standing up with the support of Divine Power.
Their strength had been exhausted over the two days and nights, and after maintaining a standing position for so long, their bodies couldn’t withstand the sudden movement.
Seeing how they were holding on, Gu Sheng once again released Spiritual Power to support everyone.
"How are you?"
He asked in a low voice, and everyone immediately replied, "We’re fine, much better."
Gu Sheng observed their faces and confirmed that they were indeed better, only then did he lead everyone into the room.
After stepping through a barrier, Gu Sheng and the others finally saw Wang Chunshi’s true appearance.
"Greetings, Mr. Wang."
As everyone saluted, Wang Chunshi finally turned his head.
"Were you sent by Wushuang Taoist?"
Hearing him get straight to the point, Gu Sheng didn’t beat around the bush either.
"Yes, Wushuang Taoist sent us to greet Mr. Wang."
"What’s her purpose of sending you? We haven’t met for years, I don’t believe she kindly sent people to visit me."
Upon hearing this, everyone finally understood where his reputation for being difficult came from.
"Mr. Wang, Wushuang Taoist sent us to Kunming Mountain to look for High-level Xuan Iron."
"Ha, I knew she didn’t have good intentions sending people here out of the blue. Does she think our Kunming Mountain is her backyard, that she can come and take whatever she wants?"
Just as Gu Sheng was contemplating how to diffuse the situation, the person who had joined forces with him that day hurried in.
"Master, it was these people who helped us drive away the evil sect that day, please show mercy."
Seeing him speak up for him, Gu Sheng was genuinely surprised.
At this moment, Wang Chunshi let out a cold laugh.
"I’ve provided you with so many top resources, yet you can’t even drive away a few evil sects and need others’ help. And you still have the nerve to ask for a favor?"
Hearing these words, the person hurriedly knelt down.
"It is indeed my incompetence, but they truly helped us, or things could have..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Chunshi waved his hand, sending a rush of aura that struck him, knocking him several meters back.
"Enough! Such incompetence and you still dare to argue. You’re penalized to reflect at the back mountain for a month!"
"I accept the punishment, but as for them..."
"Get out!"
As soon as Wang Chunshi’s imposing manner was unleashed, his disciples were utterly subdued, not daring to utter another word, only giving Gu Sheng a glance.
When their eyes met, Gu Sheng understood the unsaid words within his gaze and conveyed his thanks with a look.
Sighing, the person didn’t dare to say more and quickly left.
After he left, as Gu Sheng and the others prepared to bid farewell, Wang Chunshi suddenly said, "Since you helped Kunming Mountain, I can’t be accused of being ungrateful. I’ll allow you three days in Kunming Mountain, but don’t think for a second you can take anything from Kunming Mountain! If I find out otherwise, I’ll pursue you all the way to Wushuang Taoist to reclaim it! Don’t force me to tear down our facade!"
After saying this, he swung his sleeves sharply and turned to leave.
It was obvious that he didn’t want Gu Sheng and the others to stay, but because his disciple spoke up, he didn’t want to leave any room for criticism, so he reluctantly agreed.
Gu Sheng understood but also breathed a sigh of relief.
