Chapter 894: Crossing the Luo Shen Basin (Please Subscribe)_1

When these disciples of the Gui Xuan Sect saw that the Jiao Dragon was thoroughly dead, they all cheered excitedly...

"We... we did it! We of the Gui Xuan Sect have slain the Jiao Dragon!! Those guys who just ran away were saying we'd be killed, what a joke!"

"Exactly, our Gui Xuan Sect is much stronger than other sects, just a mere Jiao Dragon. Even if a true dragon came, it would have to kneel!"

"Cough cough... don't get too carried away. If it really were a monster beast from the Dragon Clan, you'd probably be reduced to ashes with a single breath!"

"Isn't it a bit heartless to burst our bubble like that? After all, we have slain a degenerate form of a dragon, the Jiao Dragon!"

Meanwhile, the elders of the Gui Xuan Sect had a more relaxed expression on their grave faces...

One of the elders sighed, "We've finally slain it. This Jiao Dragon was indeed terrifyingly strong! Far beyond our imagination!"

Another elder nodded in agreement, "Yes! If we hadn't found its weakest spot in the eyes, and if that man hadn't attacked from inside the Jiao Dragon's body, it would have probably taken us a lot more effort to kill it!"

"However, now that the man has slain the Jiao Dragon, why hasn't he emerged?"

"Isn't it obvious? He's definitely after the demon core. It's such a pity we have to hand over the treasure that we fought so hard to obtain to someone else! Just thinking about it irks me..."

In these words, a hint of dissatisfaction was subtly revealed...

The elder narrowed his eyes but said nothing, still gazing at the huge Jiao Dragon before him...

Suddenly, a "pfft" sound of flesh being torn apart rang out, and a bloody hole was forcibly torn through the belly of the Jiao Dragon's corpse, from which a figure emerged...

It was Xu Sheng, unharmed!

He walked over to the elders of the Gui Xuan Sect, his face expressionless...

The elder then spoke indifferently, "It seems, young friend, that you have successfully obtained the demon core of this Jiao Dragon..."

Xu Sheng glanced at him with his dark eyes, "Demon core? I've destroyed that thing!"

Upon hearing this, the elder furrowed his brows and stared intently at Xu Sheng, "What, you say you destroyed it?"

To destroy such a precious demon core seemed utterly implausible!

The faces of the other Gui Xuan Sect elders darkened instantly. So, this fellow, not content with taking the demon core...

Was now saying he destroyed it—could he be looking to get paid a second time?

Such insatiable greed!!

For a moment, the looks thrown towards Xu Sheng were unfriendly...

Xu Sheng, sensing something, flashed a look of calm and spoke, "Hmm... that demon core was several times larger than I am, and it could not be forcibly removed, so I destroyed it."

With a touch of chill in his tone, the elder said, "Is that so... Well, now that the Jiao Dragon is dead, our mission from the Gui Xuan Sect is complete. We shall take our leave!"

Afterward, he turned and addressed the disciples and elders, "All members of the Gui Xuan Sect, heed my order. The Jiao Dragon has been eliminated, we shall now immediately return to the sect!"

Although the Jiao Dragon's corpse was very precious, it was several tens of meters in size and wouldn't fit in their Storage Cosmos Bags!

After these words, the Gui Xuan Sect elders and disciples began stepping forward, intending to leave...

Xu Sheng pursed his lips and then suddenly spoke out, "Wait! You all..."

Hearing his challenge, the faces of the elder and other elders turned cold...

One of the elders barked, "What now, you want a second payment? Quite the human appearance you have, but inside, your greed knows no bounds!"

"We've already given you the most precious part of the Jiao Dragon, its demon core. What more do you want?"

"Could it be that you think the Gui Xuan Sect is easy to bully?"

The elder then watched Xu Sheng with an icy gaze as if ready to attack at any wrong word!

Faced with the suddenly unleashed fatal triple strikes, Xu Sheng couldn't help but purse his thin lips...

After casting them a glance, he spoke, "I just want to inquire, you are also planning to leave the Luo Shen Basin, aren't you?"

With these words, the atmosphere around them instantly froze...

The faces of the elders from the Gui Xuan Sect also stiffened...

This guy, he wasn't asking for a reward but for directions, and the look on his face did not seem like a lie at all!

With this in mind, they all started to cough behind their hands...

"Cough cough... Indeed, we also need to pass through the Luo Shen Basin!"

"Yes, yes! Since the Grand Elder has already treated you as a distinguished guest of our Gui Xuan Sect, why don't we journey together

"That's right, that's right, the Luo Shen Basin may not be very dangerous, but it is vast and prone to producing strange phenomena, making it easy to lose one's sense of direction. We too had to make several turns before arriving here!"

Even the elder's face showed some embarrassment as he forced himself to speak calmly, "If young friend does not mind, please join us in crossing the Luo Shen Basin!"

Xu Sheng smiled faintly and said softly, "Then I will trouble you all!"

Immediately after, he joined the group from the Gui Xuan Sect and began to fly with his sword above the Luo Shen Basin...

...

The Grand Elder of the Gui Xuan Sect, that elder, turned his head to look at Xu Sheng and inquired, "Young friend, I presume your cultivation level has reached above the seventh layer of the True Immortal Realm, hasn't it? May I ask you to enlighten me?"

He was always curious about Xu Sheng's cultivation level, for anyone who remained unscathed under a Jiao Dragon's attack was no ordinary individual!

Moreover, through their interactions along the way, he had also come to understand the latter's character, surmising that the demon core was indeed probably destroyed by him!

The other elders also showed curious faces and said, "Yes! We are unable to see through your cultivation level, the only explanation being that your cultivation far surpasses ours!"

"Indeed! Young friend, quickly tell us, at what level is your youthful cultivation?"

"I think it must be above the level of the True Immortal Realm!"

Xu Sheng lightly said, "You elders flatter me, but really, my cultivation level is merely within the True Immortal Realm..."

Seeing him say this, the elders did not press further, thinking it was understandable that he did not wish to reveal his true cultivation level...

The elder stroked his frosty white beard, pondering, "Is that so, the True Immortal Realm? Then young friend, do you have any plans after crossing the Luo Shen Basin?"

If they could recruit Xu Sheng into the Gui Xuan Sect, it would strengthen their sect considerably!

Especially with his mysterious cultivation level, it was something they were eager to unravel layer by layer...

Xu Sheng nodded, "I do, my goal is to head to Central State!"

The elder furrowed his brow, "Central State? That place is overflowing with powerhouses, I'm afraid with your cultivation, it might be..."

Xu Sheng's cultivation level was considered strong in this area, but upon reaching Central State, he would find that the land was replete with individuals at the Scattered Immortal Realm, above the True Immortal Realm!

Xu Sheng glanced at the elder's withered face and said softly, "I know, but there are very important matters waiting for me there..."

The elder's hope of recruiting him dissipated in an instant, and he said with emotion, "Is that so? Then I too wish you good luck here..."

Their intersection was nothing more than that of passersby...
