Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 170

Chapter 170: Chapter 114: Furious Blood Three Styles! Burn the Boats!

The sky darkened into night.

Gu Sheng reached out and twisted Wang Chong’s neck with despair and fear in his eyes. A crisp crack echoed, and Wang Chong’s vitality dissipated bit by bit.

Gu Sheng stood up expressionlessly, skillfully pulling out the Corpse Dissolving Water.

Yellow smoke hissed and billowed upwards as Gu Sheng’s thoughts began to drift.

He gleaned far more information from interrogating Wang Chong than he had anticipated.

Originally, he assumed that Wang Chong, who hadn’t appeared in over two years, had probably hidden under a false identity somewhere or fled to a distant region. But unexpectedly, it turned out Zhao Honglie had captured him, and Wang Chong was now affiliated with Zhao Honglie.

He felt a sense of relief.

If he hadn’t encountered Wang Chong today, it wouldn’t have been long before Wang Chong leveraged the Black Sand Gang’s power for revenge.

This man’s nature was ruthless and overbearing—a glimpse of this could be seen in their old roadside encounter.

However, what shocked Gu Sheng most was Wang Chong’s purpose for lingering in the county today.

The Baihuo Cult!

"Ah, I see now. Back when the rebellion in Yun Province erupted, it was already intertwined with the Baihuo Cult. It’s no surprise Wang Chong has a way to make contact. But I hadn’t expected the cult’s influence to spread so widely, even extending its reach into Canghe County..."

"Midnight tonight? Should I disguise myself and go? Perhaps I can acquire some rare resources from them..."

The thought quietly surfaced in Gu Sheng’s mind.

He had already extracted the secret signal needed to make contact, as well as the time and location, during his interrogation of Wang Chong. Additionally, his mastery of high-tier Shapeshifting techniques allowed him to impersonate Wang Chong with sixty to seventy percent accuracy. If he wished, he could completely swap identities.

After all, the Baihuo Cult members were certainly unfamiliar with Wang Chong.

But Gu Sheng quickly dismissed the idea.

According to Wang Chong’s confession, the person coming to meet him might very well be a master in the Bone Refining Realm. Gu Sheng didn’t want to take the risk. Although the Baihuo Cult was indeed a good source for obtaining resources, his strength wasn’t sufficient to act recklessly yet. He decided to play it safe for the time being because running into unexpected trouble would be unfavorable.

Unless he had no other choice, he avoided utilizing the Baihuo Cult connection—for now, the cult seemed far too sinister.

As for tonight’s meeting, he decided to act as if it didn’t exist.

Thinking this way improved his mood significantly.

"Still... Zhao Honglie resorting to contacting the Baihuo Cult means that Liu Yuanhu’s pressure is indeed considerable. The Red Cloud Guard?..."

Gu Sheng muttered under his breath.

The larger world beyond Canghe County was beginning to unveil itself to him.

"Eight hundred Red Cloud Guards. Even the weakest among them are in the Blood Refining Realm, and they’re the elites within that realm. A single team of a hundred could easily sweep through Canghe County!"
