Not far ahead, Gu Sheng sensed Wang Chunshi’s presence.
Knowing he intentionally revealed his presence, Gu Sheng walked straight towards that direction.
As expected, his door was wide open, with faint shadows inside.
Leading everyone forward, Gu Sheng respectfully saluted.
"Senior Wang, we have something to report."
This time, Wang Chunshi did not stand on ceremony and responded from inside.
Everyone entered, with Gu Sheng always walking at the front.
Seeing him, Wang Chushi lazily lifted his eyelids.
"It’s so late. Do you need something from me?"
Seeing him acting as if he was asking knowingly, Gu Sheng nodded.
"I want to report some matters to Senior Wang."
"Speak then."
Seeing him maintaining his posture, Bai Yu and Lan Yao secretly rolled their eyes.
Gu Sheng didn’t mind, and directly took out the scattered corpse.
"Senior Wang, this is the demon beast we captured on Kunming Mountain. The aura on this demon beast overlaps with yours, so I think it’s better to hand it over to you for disposal."
As he spoke, Gu Sheng handed the demon beast’s corpse forward.
Seeing the demon beast’s corpse, Wang Chunshi’s eyes lit up.
"Is it the only one with this aura?"
"Yes, we searched carefully. All the aura was released by it. The others are just ordinary beasts, only this demon beast, because it consumed so many people, has a mixed and strong aura, which likely caused the illusion for you."
Looking at the demon beast’s corpse, Wang Chunshi gritted his teeth hard.
"I didn’t expect it to wreak havoc on my Kunming Mountain for so long. Now it truly received its comeuppance!"
"Indeed, its aura has grown very complex. If not disposed of, it might disguise as your aura and claim more victims."
"It’s all because my men are incompetent, failing to notice it initially until things spiraled out of control."
At this point, Wang Chunshi suddenly cut himself off, as if he realized he exposed his own weakness, quickly halting the conversation.
"Since you’ve dealt with this demon beast, I don’t need to worry too much about it. You’re fortunate to be able to help on my Kunming Mountain, so leave this thing here."
Hearing such unabashed remarks, everyone was dumbfounded, even Gu Sheng couldn’t help but frown.
"Senior Wang, we risked our lives against this demon beast not for the so-called honor from your mouth. We came for high-level Xuan Iron, putting our lives on the line for our goal, and now you’re brushing us off with just a few words, which isn’t very friendly."
This statement rendered Wang Chunshi speechless.
After all, he comes from a renowned sect and is now the sect leader, holding some status in the Martial World. If he admits to nurturing demon beasts, wouldn’t that imply he’s part of an evil sect?
Seeing him not respond, Gu Sheng respectfully performed a fist-in-palm salute.
"Senior Wang, it’s late. We’ve reported what we needed, so we won’t disturb your rest any longer. We’ll take our leave."
After speaking, Gu Sheng gave him no chance to speak, turned around with his group, and left.
Just outside, Gu Sheng found many people gathering.
Seeing them come out, everyone’s eyes turned to them.
Gu Sheng ignored them and continued walking towards the sect’s exit.
Seeing their direction, these people were puzzled, and someone couldn’t help but step forward to ask, "Gu Sheng, where are you heading? It’s so late, why not sleep?"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng chuckled lightly.
"Did you forget? Senior Wang doesn’t allow us to stay in your sect, so we can only rest by the mountain side."
"Ah? Wasn’t that before? Can’t you stay now?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng just smiled without answering, but everyone understood his message, and turned to look at Wang Chunshi’s room.
