After making up his mind, Gu Sheng headed directly south.

Dense forests, mountains, rivers, villages...

In order to hide his whereabouts, Gu Sheng tried to walk as much as possible to avoid being discovered by the Holy Lord of the Ji Family and other bigwigs of the Ji Family.

Dozens of days later, Gu Sheng arrived at a larger capital city in the Southern Region.

The capital city was bustling with people, many of whom were practicing.

"call……"

Gu Sheng let out a long sigh, "Let's just stay here first. If we run into the Ji family, we can use the same method we used to call on the cultivators to fight against Ji Hui to avoid their attacks."

Then, Gu Sheng came to an inn and planned to fill his stomach first.

When Gu Sheng stepped into the inn, a strong aroma of wine and meat hit his nose.

"I'm so greedy..."

Gu Sheng smacked his lips and looked around.

The inn was bustling with activity, with guests drinking and having fun or chatting in low voices, creating a prosperous scene.

"Boss, first give me a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts."

Gu Sheng shouted to the boss at the counter.

The boss was a middle-aged man. He responded with a smile on his face: "Okay, sir, please wait a moment."

Gu Sheng found a corner and sat down, sipping his wine while observing the surrounding environment.

He noticed that the inn was very busy and there was no trace of the Ji family.

"It seems that the Ji family did not notice my arrival."

Gu Sheng secretly rejoiced in his heart.

"Sir, here are the peanuts and Huadiao wine you ordered."

A waiter brought the food up.

"Two more pounds of beef, and a bowl of sauerkraut noodles."

After seeing that there was no danger, Gu Sheng continued to give instructions.

"Saucy... Saozi noodles?"

The waiter was slightly stunned.

"how?"

Gu Sheng looked up and asked.

The waiter smiled professionally and explained, "Sir, I'm sorry, we are from the south and we don't have any pasta. Why don't you try our rice dishes, which are also very flavorful?"

"Forehead……"

Gu Sheng looked stunned.

Then he suddenly realized that he had arrived in the south.

Gu Sheng nodded to show his understanding.

So he changed his words and said, "In that case, let's have two bowls of rice."

"Okay, two bowls of rice!"

The waiter responded, quickly noted down Gu Sheng's request, and turned to run to the kitchen.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Gu Sheng picked up the Huadiao wine in front of him and took a sip.

The richness and aroma of the wine left in the mouth.

He looked through the window of the tavern at the bustling streets outside, and his heart was filled with emotion.

Ever since he escaped from Xiaoyao Gate and failed to cross the void, it felt like a dream.

Everything here was completely different from everything he was familiar with.

Both the local customs and cultural practices seemed unfamiliar to him.

Gu Sheng knew that he needed to adapt to the local customs.

Only by adapting to the environment here can we survive better.

His gaze returned to the tavern, and as he watched the diners around him chatting and laughing, his mood gradually relaxed.

Soon, the waiter brought up two pounds of beef and two bowls of rice.

Gu Sheng looked at the steaming rice and his appetite increased.

He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef, and started eating it with peanuts and rice.

The delicious beef, the crispy peanuts and the soft and glutinous rice greatly satisfied Gu Sheng's taste buds.

While eating, he was thinking about what to do next.

In this vast Eastern Wilderness, where to go?
Just as Gu Sheng was lost in thought, several people sitting nearby began to talk.

"Have you noticed? The various sects seem to be much more nervous these days."

"Isn't it? It's all because of that...what's that guy's name? Yes, Gu Sheng! Call him Gu Sheng."

"Yes, I heard about it too. This guy is really a real man. Not only did he challenge the Ji family alone, but he also defeated two Ji family elders. He is really not an ordinary person..."

"Tsk! He will suffer the consequences. The whole Eastern Wasteland is looking for him. This is no small matter!"

Listening to these people's discussions, Gu Sheng was secretly surprised.

He didn't expect that his news would spread so quickly.

Calculating the distance, it is at least tens of thousands of miles.

The only explanation for the news being able to reach here so quickly is that there are already members of the Ji family here!

"call……"

Gu Sheng let out a long sigh and quickened his eating speed.

It would be such a loss if the Ji family found out before I could even fill my stomach.

"Boom blah blah..."

Suddenly, the sound of a gong was heard.

"Gu Sheng was arrested! Gu Sheng was arrested!"

"Come and watch the fun! Gu Sheng has been captured by the Ji family! He will be executed immediately!"

There were shouts from the street.

The diners were stunned when they heard this.

"What? Gu Sheng was arrested? Arrested by the Ji family? And he's going to be executed?"

One of the diners stood up suddenly, with a hollow look in his eyes.

After being stunned for two seconds, the diner rushed out.

"Hey! Why are you in such a hurry?"

cried his companion.

"Gu Sheng is my idol, I want to go see him off!"

The diner who rushed out said without looking back.

"Uh... this kid..."

His companions were speechless and followed him out.

Gu Sheng looked around and found that all the diners who had been there had gone to watch the fun, leaving him alone.

But at this moment Gu Sheng was really speechless. Is there another self?
"Waiter! Check out the bill!"

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, he flew away.

Just like that, I followed the crowd, passed through the bustling streets, and came to the bottom of a high platform.

The platform was already surrounded by a crowd of people, their eyes were focused on the platform, and they were talking about it.

"Is this Gu Sheng?"

"I haven't seen him, but I've heard of him before. He's a real man!"

"Well, I admire people like him too!"

The crowd standing next to Gu Sheng whispered.

When Gu Sheng heard this, he felt happy.

He didn't expect that he actually had some fame.

As he heard these words, he looked up and saw a person who looked almost exactly like him standing on the podium!
The man was wearing clothes similar to his own and even imitated the expression on his face perfectly.

"This……"

Gu Sheng was shocked. Is there really another me?
While he was wondering, a sea-blue figure flew onto the table like lightning.

Gu Sheng looked closely and saw that it was a man wearing a sea-blue cultivator's robe.

He held a steel knife that gleamed with cold light, and looked very imposing.

At first glance, Gu Sheng thought it was Ji Haoyue who came.

But after looking carefully, I realized that I didn't recognize this face.

"Shh!"

The cultivator in sea-blue clothes immediately put the knife on the fake Gu Sheng's neck with a look of contempt on his face.

"Gu Sheng! You have come to this day!"

The sea-blue cultivator said in a daze.

The fake Gu Sheng's face turned pale instantly, and he looked as if he had lost his soul. "Everyone, I am Ji Haiyue! The Holy Lord has ordered that if Gu Sheng is caught, he can be killed! Now that he has fallen into my hands, in order to restore the reputation of my Ji family, I will execute the Holy Lord's order in this capital city!"

Gu Sheng, who was standing in the audience, heard these words clearly.

Ji Haiyue...

Gu Sheng had heard Ji Ziyue mention this before. This was his cousin who was good at ice magic.

Compared with Ji Haoyue, his ability is still a little bit inferior.

I didn't expect to see him here.

However, he calls himself "the original master", which is enough to show that he is arrogant and proud, which corresponds to the ice magic he practices, which is cold and ruthless.

What puzzled Gu Sheng even more was why he did this?

Does he really think that the Gu Sheng on the stage is real?

Or did he do this on purpose?
Gu Sheng frowned slightly, deciding to wait and see what he was going to do.

"Say!"

Suddenly, Ji Haiyue roared.

The fake Gu Sheng immediately asked tremblingly: "Senior, say...what?"

"Humph!"

Ji Haiyue snorted coldly and continued to scold: "Tell me what kind of person you are!"

"I……"

The fake Gu Sheng was stunned, his whole body felt like a sieve, and he almost peed his pants with fright.

"I... I colluded with members of the demon clan and deliberately opposed the Ji family. I wanted to be a running dog of the demon clan. Before, I also teased my junior sister in Taixuan Sect and stole treasures from Taixuan Sect..."

The fake Gu Sheng made these shocking remarks on the stage.

When Gu Sheng heard this, his eyes widened.

It turned out that Ji Haiyuerang pretended to be Gu Shengzhao in order to discredit his own reputation.

"My darn thing!"

Gu was filled with rage and was ready to rush up and have a good talk with Ji Haiyue.

Suddenly, Gu Sheng took a deep breath and calmed down.

He realized that this might be a trap carefully set by Ji Haiyue and he couldn't act impulsively.

After all, Ji Haiyue had never seen him, so how could he know so much?
Besides, fake is fake!

Then, Gu Sheng continued to stare at the fake Gu Sheng on the stage, thinking about countermeasures in his mind.

"What else! Tell me quickly!"

Ji Haiyue scolded again.

"I, I have also placed explosives in the Fire Region, intending to destroy most of the Eastern Wasteland, and then rule the Southern Region together with the demon clan!"

The fake Gu Sheng's voice echoed on the podium, his words filled with malice.

"what?"

When the people in the audience heard this, they began to talk about it.

"Oh my god, Gu Sheng is so cruel and ruthless that he actually wants to destroy the East Desert!"

"How could he do this? He is simply an enemy of our Southern Region!"

"No matter how talented a person is, he cannot be allowed to live in this world!"

"Kill him! Kill him!"

The discussion came like a tide...

Gu Sheng's expression became more and more ugly, and his fists were clenched so tightly that they made a crackling sound.

If he allowed the fake Gu Sheng to continue smearing him like this, his reputation would be completely ruined.

"enough!"

Gu Sheng finally couldn't help it and his voice exploded like thunder.

Everyone present was stunned by the sound.

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, Gu Sheng's figure appeared on the platform like a flash of lightning.

At this moment, Gu Sheng's eyes were almost spitting fire as he stared at the fake Gu Sheng.

"Who are you? Why are you pretending to be me and defaming my reputation?"

Gu Sheng asked coldly.

"me……"

The fake Gu Sheng was so overwhelmed by Gu Sheng's aura that he was speechless for a moment.

"You fake guy, how dare you slander my reputation, Gu Sheng? Today I will let you have a taste of my power!"

As Gu Sheng spoke, a light flashed in his hand and the Fire Spirit Dagger instantly appeared in his hand.

"Wait a moment!"

Ji Haiyue suddenly stood in front of the fake Gu Sheng.

"Gu Sheng, you finally showed up."

Ji Haiyue sneered and said, "Your behavior has already caused public outrage, what else do you have to say?"

"Ji Haiyue, your method is too despicable. You actually use such a despicable method to deal with me."

Gu Sheng pointed the Fire Spirit Dagger at Ji Haiyue, wanting to stab him with one blow!
"Ha ha……"

Ji Haiyue smiled disdainfully: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. The means are not important, what is important is the result. Today, you, Gu Sheng, are destined to be ruined."

"call……"

Gu Sheng took a deep breath.

Now is not the time to argue with Ji Haiyue, I need to prove my innocence.

Even if I die, I can't leave a bad reputation!
"Everyone listen to me, this guy is fake. I, Gu Sheng, have never done anything to betray Donghuang, let alone collude with the demon clan."

Gu Sheng spoke loudly to the people in the audience.

Some of the people in the audience began to waver. After all, Gu Sheng was a hero in their hearts.

"Humph, empty words are not enough. What evidence do you have to prove your innocence?"

Ji Haiyue said provocatively.

"Evidence? I don't need evidence because I have never done those things. But you, Ji Haiyue, do you have any evidence to prove that I did those things?"

Gu Sheng asked back.

Ji Haiyue was speechless for a moment. She didn't expect Gu Sheng to be so calm.

Then, Ji Haiyue sneered: "Gu Sheng, let me ask you, the Peacock King is a powerful figure in the demon clan, why is he so good to you?"

"Being nice to me is a matter between us. It has nothing to do with you."

Gu Sheng looked disdainful.

"Good good!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Haiyue clapped her hands and said coldly, "'We', you use the word well. It seems that you and the demon race really have a secret that cannot be revealed!"

"No means no!"

Gu Sheng retorted.

"Then find a witness to prove that you didn't do it. Otherwise, how can people believe what you say?"

Ji Haiyue raised the corner of his mouth slightly, his face full of pride.

Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes and secretly gathered his divine power, preparing to kill Ji Haiyue to prevent him from talking nonsense.

Just as Gu Sheng was about to take action, a familiar voice suddenly sounded.

"I can prove it!"

Gu Sheng turned his head and saw Ji Ziyue flying towards him in a purple veil.

"Ji Ziyue, it's Ji Ziyue!"

"What happened to the Ji family? Why are there so many people here suddenly?"

"So beautiful, I wish you could be my wife..."

Ji Ziyue's appearance surprised everyone present, and also aroused the lust of some people.

She is a famous genius in the Ji family and also Ji Haiyue's cousin.

I just don't know why she suddenly appeared here.

"Zi Yue, what are you doing? Are you going to help outsiders deal with your brother?"

Ji Haiyue's face turned ugly.

He didn't expect that his sister would stand up and help Gu Sheng at this time.

Ji Ziyue glanced at her brother and seemed very indignant.

"Brother, Gu Sheng did not collude with the demon clan, and he did not do those things."

Ji Ziyue's eyes widened, anger evident in her tone.

"Get down! Now! Immediately! Immediately!"

Ji Haiyue's tone became sharper. (End of this chapter)
