Chapter 382: Chapter 215: Ruins of the Demon Suppression Sect

Feeling the powerful force of the sword aura behind him, Ding Xingbo turned pale in terror and hurriedly channeled all of his energy into the sword to try to fend it off.

Unfortunately, his level of defense was as fragile as paper before the sword aura. In an instant, Ding Xingbo was sent flying, his chest caving in by two inches.

Collapsed on the ground, Ding Xingbo’s breath was more a wheeze than anything else, barely clinging to life. Watching Gu Sheng slowly approach, Ding Xingbo’s eyes were filled with panic as he struggled with all his might to crawl away. Alas, the sword aura had already shattered his limbs, leaving him unable to move an inch no matter how hard he tried.

Gu Sheng walked up to Ding Xingbo, raised his sword, and brought it down, directly severing his head.

Gu Sheng picked up Ding Xingbo’s Snow Cutting sword and wiped the bloodstains off it with his sleeve.

"Heh, the sword this guy used is quite delicate. The craftsmanship looks decent enough. If I ever happen to run into Senior Sister Lin, I might gift it to her. This sword seems more suited for girls anyway."

Gu Sheng then began looting Ding Xingbo’s belongings. Very quickly, he found a palm-sized disk and several yellow talismans that Ding Xingbo had used earlier. Aside from these items, there were also some pills for recovery and healing injuries. Among them, only three were Yellow Level Low Grade; the rest were worthless.

Looking at the pills, Gu Sheng frowned and couldn’t help but kick Ding Xingbo’s corpse, cursing viciously, "You poor bastard!"

After venting his frustration, he threw away all the worthless pills, keeping only the three Yellow Level Low Grade ones.

With the help of Wen Mingyan, over the course of six months, Gu Sheng not only comprehended sword momentum but also transformed it into an even more powerful sword aura. Additionally, he had trained the Gale Nine Swords technique to entry-level proficiency. Such talent left the Holy Pill Sect elders awestruck, prompting the Sect Master to fully support cultivating Gu Sheng’s abilities.

Before the opening of the Scarlet Cloud Secret Realm, under Lu Junyi’s arrangements, the elders of Spirit Pill Peak worked together to refine a batch of pills for Gu Sheng. These included antidotes, recovery pills, healing pills, and even pills capable of temporarily boosting combat power with minimal side effects. Altogether, there were more than a hundred pills.

These pills were not only abundant in quantity but also surprisingly high in quality. The lowest grade was Yellow Level Low Grade, with most being Yellow Level Mid Grade. Lu Junyi and Lou Yu even personally crafted four Yellow Level Top-grade pills for Gu Sheng.

Because of this generosity, Gu Sheng couldn’t help but view Ding Xingbo as a poor bastard.

Ding Xingbo had it worse by dying; otherwise, if he’d heard Gu Sheng’s mocking words, he would have had to retort.

In truth, Ding Xingbo, as one of the top-ranking core disciples of the Thousand Poison Sect, already had a decent wealth. The reason Gu Sheng found him poor was simply that Gu Sheng himself was far too rich!

After storing the pills and Snow Cutting sword into his Qiankun Bag, Gu Sheng picked up the yellow talismans that Ding Xingbo had used earlier.

These talismans weren’t made of any material he could identify. The feel in his hand was like paper, yet the resilience and strength were extraordinary. Even with Gu Sheng’s strength, tearing them apart would require some effort.

The talismans bore enigmatic symbols that Gu Sheng studied for a long time but couldn’t comprehend. He only found them mysteriously profound.

"Heh, let’s see if this thing is actually useful!"

Gu Sheng grabbed the talisman, mimicking Ding Xingbo’s earlier posture, rubbing it in his hand. But after rubbing it for a long time, the talisman remained unchanged—no wrinkles, let alone transforming into yellow smoke.

"What’s going on here? Does it only respond to specific people?"

Gu Sheng was slightly startled but quickly dismissed the idea. He reasoned that the item couldn’t possibly be advanced enough to have a "face recognition" function. The reason it hadn’t activated was most likely that he was using the wrong method.

After recalling the details of Ding Xingbo’s talisman usage, a realization dawned on him: "Ah, so you have to inject energy into it!"

Identifying the issue, Gu Sheng immediately infused some Qi Blood Power into the talisman and rubbed it vigorously.

The talisman in his palm suddenly emitted a surge of scorching energy. With a muffled bang, dense yellow smoke rose from his hand.

As the yellow smoke dispersed, Gu Sheng swiftly activated his Shadow Concealment Skill and hid in a nearby spot.

He planned to wait here for other disciples of the Thousand Poison Sect.

Meanwhile, a hundred miles away, a disciple of the Thousand Poison Sect suddenly felt a burning sensation in his chest. He immediately retrieved a palm-sized disk from his robe. The disk now displayed a red dot and a blue dot.

At this moment, the red dot on the disk was flashing wildly, like an alarm light.

"Trouble already? What’s going on?"

The man stared at the disk with a furrowed brow. Though puzzled, he immediately began moving toward the red dot indicated on the disk.

The disks and talismans held by the Thousand Poison Sect disciples were gifts from the Skyfire War General. Activating a talisman would send a signal within a five-hundred-mile radius to those carrying the disks, providing a direction to track.

The Skyfire War General had tasked the Thousand Poison Sect disciples with searching for an item in the Scarlet Cloud Secret Realm. He had provided specific coordinates, but the location was perilous and impossible to accomplish solo. Hence, he had distributed these disks to ensure the core disciples could quickly rendezvous.

At the same time, in another direction, a hundred miles away from Ding Xingbo’s corpse, a voluptuous woman with a striking figure but a face covered in dark purple tattoos had just slain a Golden Bone Realm hyena. She was preparing to dissect it to search for a Beast Pill when she suddenly felt a burning sensation in her chest. She reached directly into her ample curves and retrieved a disk.
