First Elder's calm face turned angry, and shouted, "Seventh Elder, don't stop me! What happened today, Second Elder went too far!"

Just when the two sides were at war with each other, an old voice came from far away. "Second Elder, don't bully the younger ones with your elders. Bullying the younger ones is nothing!"

A sneer appeared on Second Elder's face. Not only did he not stop, but he once again accelerated his palm speed to suppress Gu Sheng. This is just the bluff of people who don't know whether to live or die.

Gu Sheng was suppressed to death and could not move at all. He could not even protect his sister Gu Yu behind him.

Gu Yu's face was full of fear, his eyes were red, and he shouted with a cry:

"Brother!"

Gu Sheng was running his inner thoughts like crazy, trying to break free from this terrifying suppression.

He exerted all his strength, and a magic weapon Primordial Samsara Bell flew out of his body, blooming with ancient light, trying to resist the big hand.

In the face of the terrifying strength of Second Elder, as soon as Primordial Samsara Bell appeared, it was hit hard into the ground by an invisible force, splashing up a cloud of dust, which had no effect.

Gu Sheng was filled with despair. When he looked inside his body, Taiji Primordial Heavenly Tome, which had been silent all this time, suddenly glowed with fairy light and had the momentum to wake up.

Gu Sheng remembers that there was a desperate situation before, and it was this book that saved his life.

There are three black mists shining with light in the Book of Heaven. The disappearance of one black mist helped him resolve the crisis last time. This is undoubtedly his only hope. Although once the Book of Heaven is used, its secrets are likely to be exposed, causing greater trouble, he has no choice.

Just when Gu Sheng was about to give it a try, there was a violent fluctuation in the void, and a Dao Body shadow tore open the void with its bare hands and descended here. The person who came was none other than Daoist Xiushan. He had an angry look on his face and shouted angrily, "Second Elder, don't be so presumptuous!"

Second Elder's face darkened, he looked at Daoist Xiushan and asked coldly, "Xiushan, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to offend me for the sake of a junior?"

Daoist Xiushan said in a deep voice, "Second Elder, the Holy Master has long promised to focus on cultivating this boy Gu Sheng. I will never see him die at your hands today."

Second Elder's heart became more murderous, his aura surged, and he shouted, "Okay, very good! If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude!"

He attacked Daoist Xiushan, and wherever he passed, the space was distorted by his momentum. This powerful momentum, even First Elder on the side did not dare to despise in the slightest.

Seeing Second Elder attacking, Daoist Xiushan felt even more angry. He stepped on the void and walked towards Second Elder step by step. Every time he took a step, a huge hole appeared in the void beneath his feet, and his own momentum also skyrocketed crazily.

One step, two steps... When Daoist Xiushan took eight steps, his aura of overwhelming popularity spread throughout the world, causing all the elders present to show incredulous expressions.

Second Elder's originally fierce offensive was also stagnant, and his breathing became rapid. From Daoist Xiushan, he could really smell the deadly danger.

Daoist Xiushan shouted in a low voice, "Step nine!"

Second Elder was originally trying his best to suppress Gu Sheng. Hearing this cry, he was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his originally calm face changed drastically. He subconsciously looked up at Daoist Xiushan, with panic in his eyes.

Daoist Xiushan took the ninth step. After this step, his body erupted with a shocking momentum. His originally ordinary clothes made a rustling sound, and the momentum covered half of the sky.

A dragon roar came from ancient times. The dragon roar contained endless majesty and power, shaking everyone's soul.

Daoist Xiushan clenched his right fist, and there was a mysterious aura lingering on his fist. Then he punched out, and the color of the world changed. The originally blue sky turned dim, the wind howled, and the sand and rocks flew.

Second Elder's palm that suppressed Gu Sheng exploded under this punch.

The aftermath of the explosion raged around with overwhelming force. Second Elder had no time to make any defense. He was blown away by the aftermath and flew thousands of meters away. He disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye and almost flew directly out of the Holy Land Peak.

Daoist Xiushan snorted coldly, facing the aftermath of the explosion, he did not dodge. The aura around him was flowing, and he was able to withstand this powerful force. He dodged sideways and firmly protected Gu Sheng behind him, ensuring that Gu Sheng would not be harmed.

First Elder and Seventh Elder, who were watching the battle, were also knocked back several steps by the impact of the aftermath.

First Elder's robe was dancing in the wind. After he stabilized his figure, he looked at Daoist Xiushan in shock, his eyes full of disbelief.

Seventh Elder's eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly. He was obviously shocked and speechless by the scene in front of him.

First Elder regained his composure, looked at Daoist Xiushan, and asked, "Xiushan, was it Azure Dragon Ten Steps Art that you just used?"

Seventh Elder also turned his attention to Daoist Xiushan, full of confusion because he had never heard of this martial art.

Daoist Xiushan said in a deep voice, "Yes, it is Azure Dragon Ten Steps Art."

First Elder explained, "This is Saint-grade martial skill that Xiushan obtained when he went out for training many years ago. Its cultivation is extremely difficult. It is said that few people have been able to cultivate it to great success since ancient times. I didn't expect that Xiushan you have cultivated to such a state."

Daoist Xiushan looked provocatively in the direction where Second Elder disappeared.

Second Elder's embarrassed figure appeared in everyone's sight again. His clothes were ragged, his hair was messy, and his breath was a little unstable, but his eyes were full of unwillingness.

He flew back menacingly and stared at Daoist Xiushan fiercely, obviously preparing to fight Daoist Xiushan to the death. If I don't regain my position today, the prestige I have accumulated over the years in Tianlan Holy Land will be gone.

Daoist Xiushan showed an indifferent expression on his face, not paying attention to Second Elder's anger at all.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, First Elder quickly stepped forward to dissuade Second Elder: "Second Elder, this is enough. The Holy Lord and the Holy Mother are about to return. If this matter gets serious, it will not end well for you and me."

Second Elder looked at First Elder in surprise. He followed First Elder's gaze and saw Shou Xiangwen's body beside him, and understood the deep meaning of First Elder's words.

First Elder may already know the truth of some things. If he continues to be entangled, he may really fall into a place of no return.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Second Elder looked at Daoist Xiushan and said coldly, "I will let you go for the time being. Remember, I will find an opportunity to discuss with you another day."

He leaned over to pick up Shou Xiangwen's body, turned around and left with Seventh Elder.

Before Seventh Elder left, he couldn't help but look back at Daoist Xiushan, with both fear and curiosity in his eyes.

Daoist Xiushan saw Second Elder and others leaving, and then he fell next to Gu Sheng. He carefully checked Gu Sheng's condition, and after finding that Gu Sheng was fine, his originally tense expression softened slightly.

He looked at Gu Sheng and asked, "Boy, what happened? Please tell me in detail."

Gu Sheng briefly told what happened.

Daoist Xiushan's face became more and more gloomy, and he accused angrily. "This Second Elder is so despicable, laying such a trap against you."

First Elder was lost in thought on the side.

After a moment, he said, "This matter is of great importance. I need to discuss it with the Holy Lord before making a decision."

Daoist Xiushan snorted coldly, "Discuss? Then Second Elder should be severely punished for committing such an evil act. What else is there to discuss?"

First Elder shook his head helplessly. "Xiushan, Second Elder's status in the Holy Land is very important. There are some things that are not decided by you and me."

Although Daoist Xiushan was dissatisfied, he also knew that what First Elder said was true, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart.

First Elder Seeing that everyone's mood had calmed down a little, he said, "I'll go ahead and prepare to welcome the return of the Holy Lord and the Virgin." He turned into a stream of light and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Daoist Xiushan looked at the direction First Elder was leaving and said, "Boy, I'm going to the Heavenly Hall to check some situations. You just wait here for me to come back."

Gu Sheng nodded and said, "Senior Xiushan, don't worry, Second Elder has concerns, I guess he won't dare to mess around again."

Daoist Xiushan hummed, then used his body skills to fly in the direction of the Heavenly Hall.

After Daoist Xiushan left, Gu Sheng thought of his wife, so he took his sister Gu Yu to find her.

They came to the place where Master's Wife was practicing and found that Master's Wife was concentrating on practicing in the formation. Since the formation blocked out sounds from the outside world, the master's wife had no idea what was happening outside.

Gu Sheng raised his hand to break the formation, and then the master wife woke up from her practice.

The master's wife saw Gu Sheng and Gu Yu and asked, "Why are you here? What happened?"

Gu Sheng stepped forward and told the master's wife everything that had happened before.

The master's wife's face became very solemn, she sighed and said, "It seems that this Tianshan Residence is no longer safe."

Gu Sheng looked at Master Wife and asked, "Master Wife, in your opinion, will the Holy Lord punish Second Elder?"

The master's wife said, "The Holy Lord will naturally punish him, but he will not take any serious action. Second Elder is powerful and has a deep foundation in the Holy Land. If he is really punished, Tianlan Holy Land will definitely be severely damaged."

Gu Sheng's heart sank, and he realized that this place was indeed not suitable for living for a long time.

Daoist Xiushan rushed out and disappeared into the sky in a moment, running in the direction of Tianshan Residence.

Gu Sheng and his sister Gu Yu were anxiously waiting for the news, and their mistress was also pacing back and forth in the courtyard.

Not long after, Daoist Xiushan's slightly tired figure appeared in the sky above Tianshan Residence, falling down.

Gu Sheng rushed forward and asked eagerly, "Uncle Xiushan, the Holy Lord... how did he judge Second Elder?"

Daoist Xiushan said in a deep voice, "The Holy Lord decided to extend Second Elder's confinement time from one year to ten years, and clearly stipulated that within these ten years, he shall not leave the confinement place for any reason."

Gu Sheng's face was full of unwillingness, and he said angrily, "What? Just extending the confinement time? My sister and I almost died at his hands. This punishment is too light!"

Gu Yu was also on the side with red eyes, biting his lip, with a look of grievance and anger on his face.

The mistress gently patted Gu Sheng on the shoulder and comforted her softly, "My child, the Holy Lord has his own considerations."

Daoist Xiushan looked at Gu Sheng and said earnestly, "Gu Sheng, you have to understand that Second Elder has a respected position among Tianlan Holy Land and has made great contributions to the Holy Land.

He is too important to Tianlan Holy Land. If it weren't for your incredible talent and being valued by the Holy Lord, as Second Elder, I'm afraid there wouldn't be any punishment at all. Ten years is enough time for you to grow up. "

Although Gu Sheng was still unwilling to give up, he also understood that what Daoist Xiushan said was true. He gritted his teeth and said, "I understand. This world is really about the jungle and the strong, and the winner is king. I must work hard to cultivate and no longer be bullied at will."

Daoist Xiushan looked straight, looked at Gu Sheng and said, "Gu Sheng, I come here this time for one more thing. The Holy Lord ordered me to take you to Divine Wind Thunder Mountain for training."

Gu Sheng He turned to look at his sister and his wife, his eyes full of reluctance, and waved goodbye. "Sister, my wife, don't worry, I will work hard to practice and come back safely."

Gu Yu held back tears and choked up. "Brother, you must be careful."

The master's wife also had red eyes and warned, "My child, be careful in everything."

Gu Sheng and Daoist Xiushan embarked on the road to Divine Wind Thunder Mountain.

Along the way, Gu Sheng was full of curiosity about Heavenly Profound Goddess looking for his fiancé, and couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Xiushan, I heard that Heavenly Profound Goddess is looking for his fiancé, what is the reason for this? Why do so many people claim to be her fiancé?"

Daoist Xiushan explained, "This so-called Heavenly Profound Goddess actually only has one fiancé. It's just that the benefits of becoming her fiancé are so great that people don't hesitate to take risks and pretend to be her. In the face of huge temptation, many people are not even afraid of death."

Gu Sheng's eyes were full of doubts and he asked, "What are the benefits of that that can make so many people flock to it?"

Daoist Xiushan's eyes showed longing and he said, "It would be incredible if I became Heavenly Profound Goddess's fiancé. Not only can you walk sideways in this Xinghong Spirit Domain, but you also have the opportunity to enter the legendary Upper Realm and become the son-in-law of the Lord of the Purple Spirit Realm.

This is simply like a real fish leaping over the dragon's gate. It would be difficult for anyone else not to be tempted. "

Gu Sheng was speechless, and felt that what Daoist Xiushan said was very reasonable, and even envied the goddess fiance.

Daoist Xiushan remembered something and joked with a smile, "Gu Sheng, your master also left you a lot of marriage letters before, but in my opinion, no matter how many marriage letters there are, they may not be as real as the identity of Heavenly Profound Goddess's fiancé."

Gu Sheng flushed with embarrassment, scratched his head, and said sheepishly, "Uncle, my master... he really doesn't have that ability."

Daoist Xiushan laughed, continued to joke a few words, and the two continued to move in the direction of Divine Wind Thunder Mountain.

As Divine Wind Thunder Mountain got closer and closer, Gu Sheng gradually felt a destructive power of thunder and lightning, which could turn everything in the world into powder.

Daoist Xiushan looked at Gu Sheng's expression and introduced, "This Divine Wind Thunder Mountain is one of the best training holy places for Xinghong Spirit Domain body trainers. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant here. If you practice here, you will not only strengthen your physical body, but your cultivation level will also most likely be improved."
