Seeing this, Gu Sheng became anxious.

The old man was thin and if he was taken away, he would die in their hands.

Therefore, no matter what, we cannot just watch the old man being taken away.

"Stop it all!"

Gu Sheng stepped forward and said.

When other mountain villagers nearby saw Gu Sheng stepping forward, they stepped forward and helped him.

But Gu Sheng just turned his head and glanced at them, and said lightly: "If these people treat the old man like this, then they are even more like grass to us. Moreover, if they can do this to him today, they can do this to us tomorrow!"

"This……"

The other mountain people in the wooden shed suddenly fell silent.

They knew that what Gu Sheng said was correct, but facing the bandit leader's many men and two cultivators, no one dared to stand up.

"Your boy?"

When the bandit leader heard what Gu Sheng said, he couldn't help laughing: "I never thought that the guy who was so sick yesterday could stand up today."

"Humph! Let him go!"

Gu Sheng snorted coldly.

Then, the bandit leader waved to his men and walked directly towards Gu Sheng.

"It seems like it was a good idea to keep you here. Come! This guy is probably a cultivator as well. Check him out!"

"Yes!"

The two cultivators immediately walked towards Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng knew that his divine power had been sealed by Saint Yaoguang, and he had used all of his divine power to recover from his injuries. Not to mention the two cultivators at the Ququ Divine Bridge realm, even those at the Mingquan realm might not be able to sense it.

"Come!"

Gu Sheng said as he spread out his arms.

The two cultivators stepped forward, slightly exerting their divine power, trying to sense whether there was any cultivator's aura on Gu Sheng.

Their divine power flowed through Gu Sheng's body, but they did not find anything abnormal.

"How about it?"

The bandit leader asked with a frown.

"Boss, there is no divine power in his body. He is not a cultivator."

One of the cultivators answered.

"call……"

Gu Sheng let out a sigh of relief and felt secretly relieved.

The method used by Saint Yaoguang to seal his divine power was extremely sophisticated and not something that ordinary people could detect.

In addition, he had used all of his divine power to recover from his injuries, so there was indeed no trace of divine power fluctuation in his body now.

"Hmph, you're lucky."

Seeing this, the bandit leader said nothing more.

Gu Sheng took the opportunity to intercede for the old man: "Leader, this old man is just an ordinary mountain dweller. He has no intention of offending you. Please show mercy and let him go."

The bandit leader glanced at Gu Sheng, then at the old man.

"Okay, since you're asking for mercy, I'll let him go, but..."

"But what?"

Gu Sheng asked hurriedly.

"But I want him to destroy his own cultivation and not have any divine power in him!"

The bandit leader said coldly.

"Forehead……"

Gu Sheng was speechless.

He knew that with divine power in his body, he could naturally ensure that his body functions better.

But if you give up your own cultivation, you will most likely die soon.

"Chief, why?"

Gu Sheng looked puzzled.

"The reason is very simple. It is to avoid those cultivators who cross the void and reach the Northern Territory!"

The bandit leader did not hide anything and spoke directly.

"What! Crossing the void!"

Gu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and hurried forward to ask: "What do you mean by crossing the void to the Northern Territory? Do you have the ability to open the gate?"

"Me? I don't, but I know the passage!"

The bandit leader continued.

"Where is the passage? How do I enter it?"

Gu Sheng continued to ask.

The bandit leader saw Gu Shengna's eager eyes and immediately became confused: "Why? Why are you so concerned about this matter? Do you have any little thoughts?"

Gu Sheng immediately realized that he had been a little rude.

If you act too eager, something will definitely be discovered.

So you have to keep a low profile now.

Maybe it is possible to reach the Northern Region through this opportunity. Then, wouldn't he be able to escape the pursuit of the Ji family in the Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness?
Thinking of this, Gu Sheng smiled and said, "No, I don't have any small thoughts. I will obey the leader's command in everything."

Hearing this, the bandit leader waved his hand, signaling his men to let the old man go.

After the old man was released, he immediately ran to Gu Sheng, his eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you, benefactor, thank you, benefactor."

Gu Sheng smiled slightly: "You're welcome, it's just a piece of cake."

The bandit leader looked at Gu Sheng, then at the old man, "Hurry up!"

Gu Sheng nodded and said to the old man: "Old man, your cultivation..."

"I know I know……"

After saying this, the old man suddenly summoned up his supernatural power.

Actually, there is not much divine power.

After all, he is old, and even if he does, he can only maintain some of his body functions.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a faint light shone from the old man.

After a few breaths, the light gradually dissipated into the air.

"call……"

The old man let out a long sigh, and his mental state became much worse.

"How is it? Is this okay?"

The old man raised his head with some difficulty and looked at the two cultivators next to the bandit leader.

"Well, that's it!"

One of the cultivators nodded and said.

"Anyone else have divine powers?"

The bandit leader continued to ask.

"Boss, it's gone!"

Another cultivator replied.

"Okay! Get ready to go tomorrow!"

After saying that, the bandit leader took the two cultivators away.

After everyone left, Gu Sheng quickly surrounded the old man and asked, "Old man, how are you?"

"It's okay... It's okay... I just didn't expect to be discovered this time. I can't sneak into the Northern Territory..."

The old man's voice sounded a little vicissitudes of life, and he seemed very lost.

"Sneak into the Northern Territory? What do you mean?"

Gu Sheng asked even more puzzled.

The old man sighed and said to Gu Sheng: "I am a cultivator, but my cultivation is not high enough to cross the void. I came here to sneak into the Northern Territory, but I didn't expect to be discovered."

Gu Sheng asked doubtfully, "How do you plan to reach the Northern Territory if you are not discovered?"

The old man looked around and made sure that there was no one else. Then he whispered, "This is the northernmost part of the Southern Region. To reach the Northern Region, we need to enter a mysterious underground passage. Through that passage, we can enter the Dark River. From the Dark River, we can reach the Northern Region."

"Since there is such a passage, why don't you go through it openly instead of sneaking through it?"

Gu Sheng asked even more puzzled.

"Ha ha……"

The old man smiled bitterly and explained, "The entrance to the dark river is guarded by the cultivators of Yaoguang Holy Land. Ordinary people cannot approach it at all."

"what?"

When Gu Sheng heard this, he was stunned.

The cultivators of Yaoguang Holy Land are guarding it. If they happen to encounter the subordinates of Saint Yaoguang, wouldn’t it be disastrous?

Fortunately, among the subordinates of Yaoguang Holy Land, only the cultivators in Nü'e Pavilion have seen more of them.

I don’t know the others at all.

"What? Do you have a grudge against Yaoguang Holy Land?" the old man asked with a smile.

"No...no..."

Gu Sheng said hesitantly.

"Then why did you take such a big risk to go to the Northern Territory?"

Gu Sheng leaned forward and continued to ask.

"I am hiding from my enemies."

The old man said.

"where are they?"

Gu Sheng looked at the other mountain dwellers here, "Why were they arrested and brought to the Northern Territory?"

"It is to mine the mineral resources in the northern region."

The old man sighed softly and said.

Hearing the word "mineral source", Gu Sheng suddenly remembered that he had heard Ji Ziyue say before that there was a rare mineral in the Northern Territory called "Xuan Jing Shi", which was very beneficial for cultivation.

If cultivators with low cultivation base want to obtain resources, they can only risk traveling to the Northern Territory.

But how could it be so easy to cross the Northern Territory?

Besides, if it were really that simple, those cultivators with low cultivation would not even have the chance!

"So that's how it is. The bandit leader brought us to the Northern Territory just to work as laborers."

Gu Sheng nodded and expressed his understanding.

In this world, the competition for cultivation resources is an eternal theme.

"You have a pretty smart brain, kid."

The old man said with a smile.

"Hehe...it's okay."

Gu Sheng scratched his head and suddenly remembered the boxes he had moved during the day.

He felt as if there was some important cargo inside, so he continued to ask, "What was in the box we got during the day? Treasure?"

"cut!"

The old man rolled his eyes at Gu Sheng and said, "What treasures are there? They are just tools for digging for minerals."

"No way? Those boxes seem to have special runes on them. They are just tools. Why do they have to be so mysterious?"

Gu Sheng maintained his curiosity.

The old man smiled slightly, seeming a little proud of Gu Sheng's question.

"Little guy, you are quite observant. Those runes can enhance the box's defenses and prevent it from being damaged by the outside world during transportation."

Gu Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He didn't expect that these seemingly ordinary boxes actually contained such secrets.

"Stop talking, and take a rest!"

From outside the wooden shed came the roar of the bandit guarding the door.

"Hurry up and take a rest. You'll be busy tomorrow."

The old man patted Gu Sheng's shoulder gently, then found an open space and lay down.

Gu Sheng also found a place at random, put his hands behind his head, and lay down half-way to think about the old man's words.

Northern Territory, Dark River, Tools, Black Crystal Stone...

As he was thinking, Gu Sheng fell asleep unknowingly.

The next day, Gu Sheng woke up early.

After a night of recovery, Gu Sheng's legs felt much better.

"Everyone, come out! Prepare your things!"

There was a scolding sound from outside.

Then, Gu Sheng went out with the mountain people.

Suddenly, a strong smell of sheep came towards me.

"Forehead……"

Gu Sheng covered his nose speechlessly.

He found that there were a large number of sheepskins displayed outside.

The sheepskins had obviously been collected in a hurry, some of them had rotted and gave off a disgusting smell.

The two cultivators and several bandits from last night stepped forward and shouted, "Everyone come and get a sheepskin!"

The mountain people lined up and began to receive their gifts step by step.

Suddenly, one of the cultivators said coldly: "Listen carefully, these sheepskins are for you to make sheepskin rafts. If you can't make them well, you will die in the dark river!"

"Forehead……"

When everyone heard this, a look of worry appeared on their faces.

Everyone knows the dangers of the dark river.

It was dark in there, and there was no food.

Without a suitable raft, it is almost impossible to make it through alive.

Gu Sheng followed the old man and received a sheepskin.

Although he had never made a sheepskin raft, the old man knew it, so Gu Sheng carefully observed the old man's movements and then started to do it himself.

Gu Sheng peeled off the sheepskin completely and then soaked it in water to make it softer.

Next, he tied the sheepskin tightly at the head and tail to form an air bag.

Gu Sheng's movements were very skillful, and in a short while, a sheepskin raft was completed.

He inflated the sheepskin raft to ensure it would float on the water.

"Bang bang bang!"

Gu Sheng gently tapped the sheepskin raft he had made, with a look of pride on his face.

The old man was surprised to see that Gu Sheng had made the sheepskin raft so quickly.

“Young man, have you ever done this before?”

"No, this is my first time trying it."

Gu Sheng shook his head and said with a smile.

“Then you really have talent.”

The old man praised.

Gu Sheng smiled slightly: "Thank you for the compliment, old man."

When other mountain people saw the speed and quality with which Gu Sheng made the sheepskin rafts, they all came to him for advice.

Gu Sheng did not hide his knowledge and patiently guided them.

After a period of hard work, everyone had made the sheepskin raft.

Some rafts may not look perfect, but at least they can keep you alive in the dark river.

The two cultivators and several bandits checked the sheepskin rafts and confirmed that there were no major problems. Then they nodded and said, "Okay, let's set off now."

Everyone carried their own sheepskin rafts and followed the two cultivators, heading forward.

About half a day later, everyone arrived at the entrance of a cave.

Gu Sheng looked carefully and saw that the bandit leader was already waiting here with some of his men.

In addition, Gu Sheng also noticed that there were actually more than a dozen cultivators from the Yaoguang Holy Land standing at the entrance of the cave.

"What! It's her!"

Gu Sheng was suddenly shocked.

Among the dozen or so cultivators, one of them was Yao Qing, the personal maid of Saint Yaoguang!

Although Gu Sheng was not familiar with Yao Qing, they had met before.

If Yao Qing finds out, it will be really bad!
Gu Sheng looked back and saw dozens of bandits following him.

Now I have lost all my powers, I can neither fight nor escape, I am so anxious!

"Hey! What are you standing there for? Move forward!"

Just when Gu Sheng was getting anxious, one of the bandits who was looking after the team scolded coldly.

Gu Sheng had no choice but to walk forward with his neck tilted, his legs limped, and his mouth crooked.

"Everyone prepare your rafts, don't fall behind!"

"Get in line! You! That's you! Go faster!"

The other bandits also followed suit.

In this way, Gu Sheng came to the cultivators of Yaoguang Holy Land.

Gu Sheng pretended to be a limping mountain dweller and moved with his neck tilted.

I didn't dare look anywhere else, for fear of being discovered.

"One step... two steps..."

Gu Sheng looked at the entrance and felt secretly relieved.

At this moment, Yao Qing's voice suddenly rang out: "You! Stop!" (End of this chapter)
