Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Great Fire (Two-in-One Chapter)

Du Jiangbo stared at the pitch-black pill in Gu Sheng’s hand, an inexplicable fear surging in his chest.

His throat involuntarily bobbed as he swallowed hard.

Once he swallowed this pill, it would mean that from this moment on, this man before him could manipulate him however he pleased, a blade constantly hanging over his head!

He had doubted whether the pill was fake, but in this situation, he didn’t dare to gamble at all.

The origin of this ruthless man was unknown, and his martial skills were incredibly strong.

He had absolutely no room to resist.

If he didn’t take the pill, he would meet his death here and now; but if he took it, there might still be a chance to escape from Canghe County and eventually search for a way to neutralize it.

The choice was self-evident.

"I’ll take it!"

Weighing the pros and cons, Du Jiangbo decided almost in an instant. To make Gu Sheng believe him, he was willing to pay any price; only this way could he keep his life.

In truth, his grudge with Han Lu was already irreconcilable, and he had no intention whatsoever of betraying Gu Sheng.

His reasoning was simple.

As long as someone was secretly targeting Han Lu, it would definitely cause Han Lu some trouble.

As long as Han Lu suffered, Du Jiangbo would feel satisfied!

Without hesitation, Du Jiangbo grabbed the pill from Gu Sheng’s hand and swallowed it in one gulp.

Whether it was an illusion or not, he felt the pill squirming faintly in his stomach, as though a living creature had emerged!

He was horrified.

From this moment, he dared not harbor the slightest doubt about the pill’s power.

Gu Sheng chuckled inwardly. The pill was, of course, fake.

It was nothing more than a crude pellet encasing the corpse of an insect, but Gu Sheng knew Du Jiangbo wouldn’t dare take the risk. Thus, his plan was essentially complete.

Gu Sheng spoke in a low voice:

"As long as you follow my instructions, rest assured, I have no time to waste hunting you down. Over the next few days, I need to hear news of you surfacing in White Stone Town. Understand?"

Du Jiangbo hurriedly nodded and replied:

"Understood!"

Gu Sheng nodded with satisfaction and proceeded to search the bodies of the two Black Sand Gang members, finding a few taels of silver.

Du Jiangbo saw Gu Sheng glance at him and couldn’t help but smirk bitterly:

"In my current condition, the Black Sand Gang wouldn’t give me a single coin. Back when the Li family’s manor was sacked, most of the fortune was taken by the Black Sand Gang. What remains is an empty shell..."

"But I know where there’s money!"

"Where?"

"That wench Li Yu!"

"I once saw her with my own eyes hiding gold in a secret compartment in the attic. I can help you find it, and she should have other valuable jewelry as well. The only issue is... there are also two martial artists from the Black Sand Gang over there..."
