"Where are the people from the Lu Family?"
"Back to the Holy Son, several senior brothers sent by the Lu Family have set up an ambush outside, waiting for Gu Sheng to appear."
A disciple said respectfully.
"Setting up an ambush?"
Shen Qingyun sneered, and suddenly struck out with a palm. The disciple who spoke immediately flew backwards and hit the mountain wall dozens of meters away.
"Holy Son, calm down!"
The other disciples were so frightened that they knelt down quickly.
"A bunch of idiots!"
Shen Qingyun was furious.
"Intercepting and killing Gu Sheng outside the secret realm? Do you think the enmity between me, Great Desolation Sacred Academy and Linlang Pavilion is not deep enough?!"
One of the confidants asked bravely.
"Then Holy Son, let's go next."
Shen Qingyun suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Go back to the Holy Court first. This broken arm requires Master's help to regenerate the broken limb."
There was a sinister look in his eyes.
"As for Gu Sheng. If he comes out alive, Lu Family will deal with him. If he dies in the secret realm, consider him lucky!"
"Yes!"
Everyone agreed in unison.
Shen Qingyun took one last look at the entrance to the secret realm where calm had returned, and the look of resentment in his eyes became even stronger.
He turned and left, his empty sleeves rustling in the wind like a flag of humiliation.
Imperial Sect Mountain Gate is shrouded in clouds and mist.
Ye Jianjia dressed in white clothes stained with blood, stumbled into the mountain gate, and the gatekeeper disciples were shocked when they saw this.
"Sister Ye! What are you doing?"
"Get out of the way!"
Ye Jianjia ignored the explanation and ran towards the sect leader's hall. The disciples along the way looked sideways and saw that her bun was messed up and the jade pendant around her waist was broken. She had obviously gone through a fierce battle.
"Sect Master!"
Ye Jianjia rushed into the hall, his voice hoarse.
Long Yundao was discussing sect affairs with several elders when he heard the sound and raised his head.
"Jianjia? Why are you the only one back? Where is Gu Sheng?"
Ye Jianjia fell to his knees with a plop, his voice trembling.
"This disciple is incompetent. Senior Brother Gu failed to come out of the secret realm."
"What?!"
Long Yundao stood up suddenly, and the case was shattered to pieces.
He flashed in front of Ye Jianjia and grabbed her wrist.
"Speak clearly!"
Ye Jianjia held back tears and recounted how she encountered Great Desolation Sacred Academy Inner Court's disciple Shen Qingyun in the secret realm, and how Gu Sheng fought against a powerful enemy alone to save her. Her voice choked up at the end.
"We waited at the exit for three days as agreed, but we never saw Senior Brother Gu."
Long Yundao let go of her hand, her face uncertain.
He turned his back, clenching his fists in his sleeves, veins popping out.
A pin drop could be heard in the main hall, and several elders looked at each other in shock. First Elder coughed lightly.
"Sect Master, Gu Sheng, this son has a deep blessing, maybe."
"Shut up!"
Long Yundao shouted loudly, the sound shook the roof tiles.
He turned around suddenly, his eyes seemed to be burning with fire.
"I'm going to the secret realm now."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped. The sunlight outside the hall shines through the window lattice and shines on his resolute face. The sound of the Imperial Sect flag flapping in the wind is clearly audible.
"No"
The flames in Long Yundao's eyes gradually extinguished.
"Imperial Sect just returned to the second-class sect because of my breakthrough Heavenly Martial Realm. Everything is waiting to be done."
Ye Jianjia looked up in disbelief.
"Sect Master?"
Long Yundao walked back to the main seat, every step seemed to be of great importance.
"Then Shen Qingyun is a disciple of the Great Desolation Sacred Academy Inner Court. With my strength as a newcomer to the Heavenly Martial Realm, it is difficult for me to stand a chance of winning. Besides..."
His voice was deep.
"It is still unclear whether Gu Sheng is alive or dead. Taking rash actions will only get you burned."
Ye Jianjia turned pale and swayed.
"Then Senior Brother Gu"
"I am not unwilling to save you!"
Long Yundao slapped his hand on the armrest, and the armrest made of dark iron broke.
"If it is confirmed that Gu Sheng is in danger, I will bring him back even if I risk my life! But now."
He looked at Ye Jianjia and his tone softened.
"First tell us in detail what happened in the secret realm."
Ye Jianjia endured his grief and told in detail how Shen Qingyun coveted the secret treasure and how Gu Sheng dealt with it.
Long Yundao After listening to the silence for a long time, he suddenly asked.
"You said there is a bet between Gu Sheng and Xuanxu Sect?"
Ye Jianjia wiped his tears.
"Yes, in March, Senior Brother Gu will have a battle with the Xuanxu Sect's chief disciple. It is related to the ownership of a spiritual mine in our sect."
"There's less than March left."
Long Yundao murmured to himself, with a complicated look in his eyes.
Ye Jianjia suddenly straightened his back.
"If Senior Brother Gu has not returned, my disciple is willing to fight on his behalf!"
Several elders changed their expressions upon hearing this. Second Elder said anxiously.
"Nonsense! That Chief Xuanxu Sect is already at the pinnacle of the Earth Martial Realm, you..."
"Disciples are not afraid!"
Ye Jianjia's eyes are burning.
"Senior Brother Gu is in danger to save me, how can I sit back and watch his reputation be damaged?"
Long Yundao stared at her for a moment and nodded slowly.
"Okay, go ahead and prepare. If you need any resources, just go to the Sutra Pavilion to get them."
Ye Jianjia kowtowed heavily.
"Thank you, Sect Master!"
When she stood up, there were no tears in her eyes, only determination.
After Ye Jianjia left, Long Yundao immediately said in a deep voice.
"First Elder, take two of your capable disciples and immediately go to stay near the secret village. Remember, just observe, don't scare the snake. Once you find any trace of Gu Sheng, call the police immediately!"
First Elder solemnly accepted the order.
"I understand.
Gu Sheng This son has the destiny of the sect. Even if I risk my life, I will wait for the support of the sect leader. "
Long Yundao rarely showed fatigue.
"Go. Remember, if you encounter someone like Great Desolation Sacred Academy, stay away."
First Elder hesitated to speak, but finally just bowed deeply and turned to leave.
At the same time, Great Desolation Sacred Academy deep.
In a Bronze Great Hall, Shen Qingyun was soaked in a pool of blood, his face distorted. The elixir in the pool was tumbling, emitting a pungent smell.
"Bear with it."
An old man in gray robe stood by the pool, the magic formula in his hand changing.
"The pain of this regeneration technique of severed limbs is comparable to that of Ling Chi."
Shen Qingyun Bite your gums until they bleed.
"Disciple, you can't bear it! Gu Sheng is that little beast!"
With a scream, the flesh and blood on the broken part of his right arm squirmed, and the bones were thick.
The gray-robed old man snorted coldly.
"Does a mere disciple of a second-class sect deserve to be so grudged by you?"
The hatred in Shen Qingyun's eyes almost turned into reality.
"He has a Linlang Pavilion background and a connection with the Central Continent Holy Land. Ah! Master and disciple are unwilling to give in!"
"Meditation!"
The old man shouted sharply and slapped Shen Qingyun Tianling Gai with his palm.
"Run 'Blood Hell Demonic Art' and use this pain to break through the bottleneck!"
Three days later, the Bronze Great Hall door opened.
Shen Qingyun stepped out, his right arm intact as before, and the aura around his body was stronger than before.
"Congratulations to Senior Brother Shen for breaking through to the fourth level of the Heavenly Martial Realm!"
Several disciples waiting outside quickly saluted.
Shen Qingyun The corner of his mouth raised slightly.
"Is there any news about Gu Sheng?"
A disciple said respectfully.
"The spies came to report that Gu Sheng has not left the secret place so far. Imperial Sect has sent people to investigate."
"Oh?"
Shen Qingyun's eyes flashed.
"Keep staring. By the way, check all the relationships Gu Sheng has outside."
Another day later, the disciple hurriedly came to report.
"Senior brother, I found out that Gu Sheng and Xuanxu Sect have a bet, and the Dingling Mine will be owned after the battle in three months!"
Shen Qingyun was wiping a bloody sword and paused when he heard this.
"Xuanxu Sect? Is that the second-class sect that always wanted to replace Imperial Sect?"
"Exactly! It is said that the master of the Xuanxu Sect has always been dissatisfied with the Imperial Sect returning to the second class."
Shen Qingyun laughed suddenly.
"God help me!"
He stood up.
"Get ready, I'm going to be a guest at the Xuanxu Sect!"
Half an hour later, in front of the Xuanxu Sect Mountain Gate.
The owner of the door, Zhao Wuji, led all the senior officials to line up to welcome Shen Qingyun. When he saw Shen Qingyun arriving, he quickly stepped forward to salute.
"I didn't know that Mr. Shen's visit was unexpected, but I didn't expect it from afar!"
Shen Qingyun waved his hand haughtily.
"Master Zhao, you are so polite. I am here this time because I have a business deal that I would like to discuss with your family."
Zhao Wuji's eyes flashed and he bent even lower.
"Master, please! I, Xuanxu Sect, have prepared the finest spiritual tea!"
The night was as dark as ink, but there were many strange phenomena in the sky above Xuanxu Sect.
Thirty rays of golden light soared into the sky, intertwining into a dazzling star pattern in mid-air. The disciples in the sect walked out of the room one after another, looking up at the sky, with shock written on their faces.
"Yellow Martial Realm peak collective breakthrough Black Tortoise Realm! How is this possible?"
An elder deacon's beard trembled, and the whisk in his hand almost fell to the ground.
What's even more amazing is yet to come.
On the martial arts field, more than a dozen Black Tortoise Realm low-level disciples were surrounded by spiritual energy, and their cultivation levels were rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The two true disciples in purple gold robes were the most dazzling. They sat cross-legged in the center of the Tai Chi pattern, their auras soaring from the Black Tortoise Realm seventh level to the peak!
"God bless me Xuanxu Sect!"
First Elder was so excited that he burst into tears, but he saw the door owner Zhao Wuji standing on the observatory with his hands behind his hands and a gloomy look on his face.
Neighboring sects lit up warning lights one after another, and several rays of divine consciousness swept across the Xuanxu Mountains. Purple Sun Sect Master directly sent a message to ask.
"Master Zhao, your sect has acquired a thousand-year spiritual vein?"
Zhao Wuji sneered, and when he waved his sleeves and robes, the mountain guarding formation was fully opened, blocking out all prying eyes.
He turned around and walked towards the forbidden area in the back mountain, where a dark shadow had been waiting for a long time.
"Master Shen is such a generous person."
Zhao Wuji stared at the figure in the shadow, his voice tight.
"Thirty Breakthrough Pill, twelve Xuanwu Shengling Powder, and two more. I'm afraid they are the legendary Earth Vein Condensing Pill, right?"
A chuckle came from the shadows, and Shen Qingyun stepped out on the moon dressed in white, with the jade pendant around his waist glowing with a faint blue light. "
Sect Leader Zhao has good eyesight. But."
With a flick of his fingertips, a restriction enveloped the surrounding area.
"These are just hors d'oeuvres."
Zhao Wuji's pupils shrank suddenly. These pills were enough to trigger a bloody battle among the sects outside, but the other party said it so lightly.
"What Shen wants is very simple."
Shen Qingyun played with the jade pendant.
"Three months later, Gu Sheng's head."
"Don't worry, sir!"
Zhao Wuji Kneel down on one knee and swear an oath to the sky.
"Even if Gu Sheng gets a great opportunity in the secret realm, he can't survive Black Tortoise Realm. I will personally take action and call him."
"You?"
Shen Qingyun interrupted suddenly, with sarcasm in his eyes.
"How many years has Master Zhao been stuck in the third level of the Earth Martial Realm? Twenty years? Thirty years?"
Zhao Wuji's face turned red, but he didn't dare to refute.
He was indeed trapped in the early stages of the Earth Martial Realm for twenty-eight years, which was a lifelong pain.
"Tomorrow there will be ten Great Desolation Sacred Academy Outer Court disciples 'voluntarily' joining Xuanxu Sect."
Shen Qingyun said something amazing.
"They are all in the early stages of the Earth Martial Realm."
"What?!"
Zhao Wuji looked up suddenly, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. Earth Martial Realm are all elders in small and medium-sized sects, but the other party can mobilize ten people at will? This Shen Qingyun has the power of the Great Desolation Sacred Academy.
Seemingly satisfied with the other party's reaction, Shen Qingyun leaned over and whispered.
"Remember, if you do this you still can't kill Gu Sheng"
His fingertips traced Zhao Wuji's throat.
"You know the consequences."
Zhao Wuji felt cold all over, but suddenly gritted his teeth and said.
"If nothing can be done, I will let that girl Ye Jianjia be buried! Although Quan Zi is my illegitimate son, my blood cannot be insulted!"
Shen Qingyun raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't expect that there would still be such grudges.
He turned and walked towards the darkness where the moonlight could not reach, his voice erratic.
"It's up to you. I just want Gu Sheng to die."
Only after the figure in white disappeared completely did Zhao Wuji dare to stand up.
He wiped away the cold sweat, his eyes flashing with viciousness.
"Gu Sheng. When you killed my Lin'er, did you ever think about today?"
Great Desolation City dungeon, Linlang Pavilion.
Miss Tantai was leaning on the soft couch, playing with a Nine Revolutions Elixir with her slender jade fingers. The elixir is crystal clear, with nine elixir patterns flowing on its surface, emitting heart-stopping fluctuations.
"Miss, I just got the news that Gu Sheng disappeared in the secret realm."
A female attendant reported respectfully.
"Imperial Sect said he has not left the secret realm yet."
Miss Tantai chuckled.
"A mere secret realm cannot trap him."
"But there are many dangers in the secret realm."
"That kid can even refine eighth-grade elixirs. What does a mere secret realm mean?"
Miss Tantai threw the elixir up and caught it.
"It's probably because I got some opportunity inside and practiced in seclusion."
The waitress hesitated.
"Do you want to inform the eldest lady?"
"Sister is dealing with important matters at the Central Continent, why bother her with such a trivial matter."
Miss Tantai waved his hand.
"Besides, the big Venerable Realm demon in the secret realm has long since died. There is only a trace of its soul left, so it cannot hurt Gu Sheng."
"Why are you so sure, Miss?"
Miss Tantai Tap your fingertips lightly between the eyebrows.
"I left a mental mark on him. If he dies, I will be able to sense it immediately."
The waitress looked shocked. What kind of status does my young lady have that she would be so interested in a young man from a small border town?
"Don't look like that."
Miss Tantai narrowed his eyes.
"That kid just dialed it casually and let me break through to Rank 8 spiritual power. This kind of person is either the reincarnation of a hidden old monster, or he has a shocking inheritance."
She sat up suddenly.
"By the way, go and send a message to Shen Qingyun."
"Miss, please give me your instructions."
"Tell him that Linlang Pavilion doesn't care about the fighting in the secret realm. But if he dares to bully others outside the secret realm."
Miss Tantai's eyes flashed coldly.
"I will kill Great Desolation Sacred Academy and teach his master a lesson!"
The female attendant was shocked and quickly responded. After she stepped back, Miss Tantai patted her palms lightly.
A black shadow appeared silently, its whole body shrouded in a black robe, and even its face could not be seen clearly.
"Shadow, go and guard the village where Gu Sheng is."
Miss Tantai's voice was unusually serious.
"When he leaves the secret realm, be sure to escort him to Great Desolation City intact. If someone intercepts him, don't ask for permission, just kill him!"
The black shadow nodded slightly, and his figure gradually faded away.
"Am I making too much of a fuss?"
Miss Tantai said to himself.
"I actually sent the shadow sent by my family to protect me to guard him."
She suddenly smiled slyly.
"But this is the only way to show sincerity! Maybe when the boy is moved, he will agree to accept me as his disciple?"
Thinking of the shocked expressions of the old stubborns in the family after learning to refine Nine Revolutions Elixir, Miss Tantai couldn't help laughing.
In the secret hall, time seemed to have frozen.
