Gu Sheng extracted the soul of Elder Fengxing, forcing him to reveal the secret technique of the Carefree Ascension Step.
Under the forceful probing of the Green Vine Spirit, he obtained the desired information, then mercilessly obliterated Elder Fengxing's soul.
After the battle ended, the disciples of the Thousand Poison Sect had already retreated, and Gu Sheng and his companions proceeded with their plan, heading toward the Chu Country's stronghold.
The territory of Chu Country was vast, stretching from Cangwu in the east to the Great Wilderness in the west, bordered by the Southern Sea in the south and Beiming in the north.
At this moment, towering needle-like trees stretched into the heavens, blotting out the sun. The forest was blanketed with snow, and biting winds howled through. Gu Sheng and his group ventured deep within, preparing to launch a surprise attack on Chu Country's stronghold.
