And the Northern Territory is a great place to collect treasures.

Gu Sheng ventured alone to the ancient minefields of the Northern Territory, where the unearthed treasures were the most precious, and the gambling houses were also a good place to gather resources.

The ancient minefields are located in a desolate area of the Northern Territory. Although the environment here is harsh, the underground mineral deposits are incredibly rich, attracting countless adventurers and martial artists to try their luck.

Gu Sheng was among them. He had just spent some time recuperating at the Yaochi Holy Land and now needed a large number of spirit stones and heavenly materials and earthly treasures to train.

After a round of digging, Gu Sheng had a fruitful harvest, obtaining more than a thousand spirit stones. He was secretly delighted, planning to leave the mine, when suddenly a group of women dressed in flamboyant clothing blocked his path.

"Oh my, young master, you've had quite the haul," giggled the leader of the women. She had a graceful demeanor and charming features but a dangerous glint in her eyes.

Gu Sheng glanced at the group of women and found that each was stunningly beautiful with striking figures, but their auras were not to be underestimated. He was alarmed and thought to himself: This is likely not an ordinary band of thieves.

"Who are you people? What do you want?" Gu Sheng asked coldly.

"Hehe, we are from the Jade Maiden Gang. Seeing that you've done well, we thought we might borrow some spirit stones," the woman giggled.

Gu Sheng sneered, "Want spirit stones? Let's see if you have the ability to take them."

As soon as the words left his mouth, the group of women pounced like wolves. They wielded Jade Maiden Swords and moved with light and graceful fluidity, executing their swordsmanship with exquisite skill. Gu Sheng moved like the wind, unleashing the Gale Nine Swords as he fought with them.

The battle was intensely fierce, each side attacking and defending in quick succession, with sword lights flashing continuously. Gu Sheng noticed that although the women's swordsmanship was exquisite, their strength varied. Except for the three women at the first level of the Sea Floor Realm, the others had not reached the Sea Floor Realm.

He strategized in his mind, deciding to deal with the weaker enemies first. So, he summoned the Red Vine Demon Soul to target those who had not reached the Sea Floor Realm. The Red Vine Demon Soul weaved through the enemies like a nimble snake, and soon several of them were reduced to white bones by the corrosive attack.

The three women at the first level of the Sea Floor Realm were horrified by this, exclaiming, "What kind of demon art is this? It's so formidable!"

Gu Sheng sneered, "Now you understand its power? Unfortunately, it's too late!" His figure flashed as he swung his sword at one of the women. The woman was shocked, hastily raising her sword to block. But Gu Sheng's swordsmanship was so masterful that he killed her with a single strike.

The two remaining women were terrified and tried to escape but were blocked by Gu Sheng. After another fierce battle, Gu Sheng finally killed them one by one.

Just as he was about to leave, the sound of hoofbeats suddenly came from afar. Gu Sheng turned his head to see a team of cavalry rapidly approaching, led by someone holding a banner emblazoned with the words "Jade Maiden Gang."

"Not good, it's the reinforcements from the Jade Maiden Gang!" Gu Sheng thought to himself, realizing he was in trouble. He knew he couldn't handle more enemies in his current state, so he turned and ran.

"Stop! Don't run!" the Jade Maiden Gang's reinforcements shouted. They quickly gave chase, engaging Gu Sheng in a thrilling pursuit.

Gu Sheng used the Carefree Ascension Step, moving like the wind as he navigated through the minefields. He would sometimes hide in the tunnels, striking enemies with lethal blows from hidden corners. In response to his agile maneuvers, the Jade Maiden Gang's reinforcements fell one by one.

At this moment, a massive shadow descended from the sky, accompanied by a deafening bark. The Black Emperor majestically joined the fray.

"Kid, long time no see. Looks like you've gotten yourself into quite a mess," the Black Emperor joked upon landing, not forgetting to tease Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, knowing the Black Emperor's strength well. "Black Emperor, you're just in time. Help me deal with these women first."

The Black Emperor glanced at the battlefield, a cruel smile tugging at its lips. "These women look quite pretty, but daring to provoke you is like slapping me in the face! Watch me tear them to pieces!"

As soon as the words left its mouth, the Black Emperor charged at the Jade Maiden Gang's reinforcements like a black lightning bolt. Its target was the three female bandits at the second level of the Sea Floor Realm.

"Awooo——" the Black Emperor let out an earth-shattering roar, its massive claws flashing coldly as it struck at one of the female bandits. The bandit reacted quickly, trying to dodge the Black Emperor's attack, but its speed was faster, swatting her away with a single paw.

"Ah——" Her screams echoed through the air as she fell heavily to the ground, her fate unknown.

The other two female bandits at the second level of the Sea Floor Realm were terrified and jointly attacked the Black Emperor. However, the Black Emperor seemed to toy with them, easily evading their attacks and occasionally launching counterattacks. Under its claws and fangs, the two bandits quickly met their defeat.

The other members of the Jade Maiden Gang were thrown into a panic upon witnessing this scene. They knew they had encountered an unbeatable opponent today.

At that moment, another round of hoofbeats sounded from afar. Gu Sheng turned his head to see Wu Tianxiong, Kou Hai, Ying Tianxing, and Xing Lie arriving on horseback. Their arrival undoubtedly increased the odds of winning the battle.

"Haha, Brother Gu, we're here to lend you a hand!" Wu Tianxiong shouted loudly. All of them were Gu Sheng's friends and, upon hearing that Gu Sheng was under siege at the ancient minefields, they had hurried over to support him.
