Gu Sheng frowned slightly; he knew he was being drawn into a massive vortex. But when he thought of the allure of the Divine Medicine and the opportunities it might bring him, he took a deep breath and nodded, "I am willing to give it a try."

At that moment, the Jiang family elder suddenly turned his gaze toward Mo Buwen. "Mo Buwen, you will go up the mountain too."

Mo Buwen's face changed; he had no desire to be cannon fodder. He quickly shook his head and said, "Elder, my strength is meager, and I fear I cannot handle such a heavy responsibility."

"Hmph! Do you think you have a choice?" The Jiang family elder snorted coldly as a powerful aura swept toward him.

Mo Buwen's heart tightened. He realized he couldn't refuse and had no choice but to reluctantly agree. Just as the group was preparing to set out, Mo Buwen suddenly turned and ran, trying to escape from this dangerous place.

"Trying to flee? Not so easy!" The Jiang family elder sneered and waved his palm, releasing a streak of Divine Power that immediately caught Mo Buwen.

The scene sent a wave of dread through everyone present and further strengthened Gu Sheng's resolve to grow stronger. He stared firmly at the Jiang family elder and said, "I can help you pick the Divine Medicine, but I have one condition."

"Oh? What condition?" The Jiang family elder raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat surprised at Gu Sheng.

"Before I pick the Divine Medicine, I want to kill Jiang Feng first!" Gu Sheng said coldly.

As soon as he spoke, the crowd erupted in astonishment. No one expected Gu Sheng to make such a demand—especially Jiang Feng himself, whose face changed dramatically as he glared at Gu Sheng. "You dare!"

"Hmph! Why wouldn't I dare?" Gu Sheng sneered, "You've hunted me down many times and even now want me dead. How could I let you off?"

"You—!" Jiang Feng was trembling with rage but couldn't refute him. He had indeed pursued Gu Sheng multiple times, but he never expected this seemingly ordinary youth to make such a demand now.

"Fine! I agree!" The Jiang family elder unexpectedly spoke up. "As long as you help us pick the Divine Medicine, I'll let you kill Jiang Feng!"

His words stunned everyone. The Jiang family elder was willing to sacrifice a member of his own family for the Divine Medicine? This was unthinkable! But even more shocking developments were yet to come.

Gu Sheng's figure flickered and instantly appeared in front of Jiang Feng, delivering a fierce slap.

"Smack!" The crisp sound of the slap echoed as Jiang Feng staggered backward, a glaring red handprint appearing on his face.

Everyone was dumbfounded. They hadn't expected Gu Sheng to really strike Jiang Feng, a cultivator in the Divine Bridge Realm! This was sheer madness!

Even crazier events followed.

Gu Sheng grabbed Jiang Feng's neck and lifted him off the ground. "Jiang family elder, does your promise still stand?"

"Of course," the Jiang family elder's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. "As long as you help us pick the Divine Medicine, this useless fool is yours to deal with!"

"Good!" Gu Sheng sneered, releasing his grip and throwing Jiang Feng to the ground. "Remember your words!"

With that, he turned toward the Holy Mountain, leaving the group staring at each other in bewilderment, unsure of what to do next.

They knew today's events had spiraled out of their control. This seemingly ordinary youth actually possessed such extraordinary power and resolve!

They began to doubt their previous judgments. Who exactly was this youth, and why did he possess such formidable strength and courage? They grew increasingly curious about what would happen next…

Step by step, Gu Sheng ascended the Holy Mountain, his heart filled with unwavering determination. He knew this operation was both an opportunity and a challenge, but he believed he could succeed!

"Gu Sheng! Don't push things too far!" Jiang Feng roared, struggling to rise to his feet. "Do you think you can really defeat me?"

"Defeat you?" Gu Sheng sneered as he turned to face Jiang Feng. "You're wrong! I won't just defeat you—I'm going to kill you!"

With that, his figure flickered as he charged at Jiang Feng again, and the two instantly clashed in fierce combat...

The battle was shockingly intense, with both parties unleashing their full force without holding back. Every strike was filled with killing intent and resolve!

Despite the ferocity of the combat, Gu Sheng remained calm and focused. He knew what he wanted and exactly how to achieve it!

During a critical clash, Gu Sheng finally seized upon Jiang Feng's flaw and delivered a punch that sent Jiang Feng flying!

Jiang Feng crashed heavily to the ground, coughing up a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with terror and disbelief. He couldn't believe he had lost to this seemingly ordinary youth!

"You…who the hell are you?" Jiang Feng gasped.

"Who am I?" Gu Sheng sneered. "I'm the ant you once despised and the prey you relentlessly hunted. But now, let me tell you—I am Gu Sheng!"

This unexpected turn of events shocked everyone present. The gaze with which they looked at Gu Sheng was now filled with awe and fear. They finally realized that this youth was no longer someone they could bully or insult at will.

"Alright, it's time to fulfill your promise." Gu Sheng coldly stared at the Jiang family elder. His gaze was steady and piercing as though slicing through all deceit and lies.

The Jiang family elder took a deep breath and nodded. "Fine. We will honor our agreement."

He then gestured to the others, signaling them to follow him and leave the area.
