This secret method can really activate the power of heaven and earth! But then he calmed down.

"Tantai Clan will offend the top holy land for me?"

"Of course not."

Shadow chuckled.

"So this is a deal between you and me."

Candles crackled.

Gu Sheng suddenly remembered the eyes that laughed at him when he first entered Great Desolation City.

Now he is Linlang Pavilion Third Pavilion Master!

"It won't take that long."

He folded his five fingers together, and the jade simplified into powder.

"I agreed."

Ying seemed to have expected this, as the vertical lines between his eyebrows suddenly cracked, and a drop of essence and blood floated out, turning into bloody seeds.

"This is the true secret of the secret method, Pavilion Master Gu, please keep it."

Gu Sheng took the seeds into the sea of consciousness without hesitation. In an instant, a violent torrent of information swept over——

"Infuriating retrograde meridians reverse the thirty-six fatal points."

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.

Where is cultivation in this? It's clearly a way to commit suicide!

A quarter of an hour later, Gu Sheng opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes shining with light.

"What a change of fate!"

There was no trace of Secret Chamber, only a few spots of wet blood on the ground proved that she had been there.

Gu Sheng suppressed the shock in his heart.

This secret method is crazy, but it works. It's just that you need to be fully prepared.

"Myriad Spirits Palace"

He muttered to himself, stood up and pushed the door open.

Three days later, in front of the Myriad Spirits Palace Mountain Gate.

Gu Sheng stopped and looked up. Nine sky-reaching jade pillars support the majestic mountain gate, and behind it, the ten thousand-foot-high peak reaches into the sky, and the golden palace and jade chamber can be faintly seen among the clouds and mist. From time to time, escaping light cuts through the sky, with an astonishing momentum.

"As expected of the Central Continent, the top force."

As soon as he took a step, three terrifying pressures suddenly descended!

"Trespassers, die!"

The old female voice sounded like thunder.

Gu Sheng felt the air around him solidify, and three old men in white robes stood in the sky. The old woman in the lead was holding a dragon-headed cane, with killing intent in her eyes.

Heavenly Martial Realm! And three!

Gu Sheng handed it over calmly.

"Down below."

"Shut up!"

The old woman's cane paused, and the void shook.

"Myriad Spirits Palace forbidden area, how can outsiders be allowed to set foot on it?"

Just when the tension was at stake, a crisp voice came from inside the mountain gate.

"Stop!"

The girl in white came stepping on the sword, her skirts flying. Seeing the face of the visitor clearly, the corners of Gu Sheng's mouth raised slightly - it was Xiao Mengdie.

"Gu Sheng? It's really you!"

Xiao Mengdie almost tripped when she landed, her pretty face turned red.

"Are you here to find me?"

Gu Sheng was about to answer when the old woman asked sharply.

"Saintess knows this person?"

"Of course!"

Xiao Mengdie hurriedly stood in front of Gu Sheng.

"Elder Li, this is Gu Sheng who saved me in the Demon Lord's secret realm! If he hadn't taken action, I would have..."

The old woman's expression suddenly changed, and she quickly signaled to the two people behind her to put away their pressure. After the three of them landed, she quickly stepped forward and apologized with her hands in hand.

"I have eyes but cannot see Mount Tai. I hope Pavilion Master Gu Haihan."

Gu Sheng waved his hand.

"It's okay. I'm here. I really have something important to ask of you."

Xiao Mengdie volunteered.

"I will take you to see Master!"

She turned to explain.

"Senior Gu, since I returned from the secret realm, I have been looking for opportunities to thank you.

That plant Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Grass."

"Easy to do."

Gu Sheng interrupted her, but his eyes glanced at the newly replaced jade pendant around the girl's waist - it was clearly engraved with a cloud pattern that only the core disciples of the Myriad Spirits Palace had.

The old woman said quickly when she saw this.

"I will send a message to the palace master right now."

She took out a Communication Jade Slip, hesitated for a moment and then added.

"It's just that the palace master has been in retreat recently."

The jade talisman is green in color, with complex cloud patterns engraved on the surface, glowing with luster in the sunlight.

As soon as the old woman's fingertips touched the jade talisman, she felt a familiar aura, and her expression suddenly changed.

"Black Tortoise Realm is at the seventh level, but the protective energy is comparable to the Earth Martial Realm at the early stage?"

The old woman's wrinkled fingers gently rubbed the jade talisman handed over by Gu Sheng.

"Wait a moment, little friend."

She took a deep look at Gu Sheng, then turned around and turned into a stream of light and flew into the mountain gate.

Xiao Mengdie blinked his big eyes and came closer, the silver bells jingling in his hair.

"Hey, what is that jade talisman? It looks familiar."

Gu Sheng stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the towering mountain gate of the Myriad Spirits Palace.

"I was entrusted by someone, just bring a token."

"Did my father give it to you?"

Xiao Mengdie asked relentlessly, grabbing Gu Sheng's sleeves with his little hands.

"No."

Gu Sheng pulled back his sleeves and spoke in a distant tone.

At this moment, a sound of breaking through the air came from the mountain gate.

The old woman left and came back again, with an even more respectful look on her face.

"Mr. Gu, the sect master invites you."

Gu Sheng nodded slightly and followed the old woman into the mountain gate.

Xiao Mengdie jumped up and followed behind.

"Master, please follow me and fly in the air."

The old woman waved her sleeves, and a gentle force lifted Gu Sheng.

The three people rose into the sky, and the whole picture of the Myriad Spirits Palace gradually appeared in front of Gu Sheng. The nine peaks are like sharp swords piercing the sky. Among the clouds and mist, you can see beautiful buildings and jade buildings, and spiritual birds and animals shuttle among them.

On the main peak in the center, a magnificent palace stands tall and majestic.

A flash of purple light disappeared in Gu Sheng's eyes, and "Purple Extreme Demonic Eyes" quietly circulated in the sea of consciousness.

He clearly sensed the six auras in the hall that were as deep as the sea, each one far exceeding Earth Martial Realm.

"Six Heavenly Martial Realm"

Gu Sheng was secretly shocked.

"There is another aura that is elusive and unpredictable. It should be the sect master who just broke through."

In front of the main hall, eighteen coiled dragon jade pillars tower into the clouds.

Gu Sheng As soon as he landed, a deep voice came from the hall.

"Come in."

The moment he stepped into the hall, six eyes fell on Gu Sheng.

Every glance was heavy. If he were an ordinary Black Tortoise Realm warrior, his legs would have become weak.

But Gu Sheng's complexion remained as usual, and the protective energy flowed spontaneously, dissolving the pressure invisible.

At the end of the hall, a middle-aged man wearing a purple and gold robe sat on the throne.

His face was resolute, and the aura around him vaguely resonated with the heaven and earth - he was Xiao Xuance, the master of the Myriad Spirits Palace.

"Junior Gu Sheng, I have met Sect Master Xiao."

Gu Sheng handed over the hand without being humble or arrogant.

Xiao Xuance had admiration in his eyes.

"What a good boy. He can be so calm in the face of our pressure. He is worthy of being Brother Gu's son."

Gu Sheng was startled when he heard this.

"Sect Master Xiao knows my father?"

"More than acquaintance."

Xiao Xuance laughs.

"Your father Qin Lie and I are sworn brothers. In terms of seniority, you should call me Uncle Xiao."

A complicated look flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes, and he saluted solemnly after a moment of silence.

"I've met Uncle Xiao."

Xiao Mengdie stared at the side.

"Dad, do you know each other?"

Xiao Xuance looked at her daughter dotingly.

"Die'er, Mr. Gu saved you in the secret realm?"

"Yeah, yeah!"

Xiao Mengdie nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"If it weren't for Brother Gu, my daughter would have been kidnapped by the bad guys from the Profound Yin Sect!"

Gu Sheng said lightly.

"It's just the right time. If it were anyone else, he wouldn't be able to save his life."

Xiao Xuance glanced at Gu Sheng meaningfully, and suddenly the conversation changed.

"Nephew Gu Xian, apart from delivering the tokens, does he have anything else to do here?"

Gu Sheng was about to answer, but Xiao Mengdie couldn't wait to interrupt.

"Dad, what is that jade talisman? It looks familiar to me!"

Several elders in the hall also showed curiosity.

Xiao Xuance stroked his long beard gently, and his eyes became distant.

"Twenty years ago, I made a marriage contract with Brother Gu and his wife."

Gu Sheng's pupils shrank, causing waves in his heart.

He had no idea that his parents would actually make a marriage contract for him, nor did he expect that the partner would be the eldest daughter of the Myriad Spirits Palace.

"Engagement?"

Xiao Mengdie's voice trembled slightly, his eyes suddenly opened wide, and his eyes wandered back and forth between his father Xiao Xuance and Gu Sheng.

Her slender fingers unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, and her knuckles turned white from the exertion.

Gu Sheng stood in the center of the hall, wearing a green shirt that was fluttering in the wind. Under his seemingly calm face, he was secretly observing the reactions of everyone in the hall.

He noticed the panic in Xiao Mengdie's eyes and her slightly biting lower lip.

"Father, this."

Xiao Mengdie hesitated to speak and looked at Xiao Xuance with complicated eyes.

Xiao Xuance stands with his hands behind his hands, his face majestic yet gentle.

He was wearing a dark robe with golden cloud patterns embroidered on the cuffs, and his every move showed the magnanimity of the master of a sect.

He did not directly respond to his daughter's question, but turned to Gu Sheng with a steady and powerful voice.

"Nephew Gu Xian, this matter is not urgent. After Meng Ling comes back and meets, we will discuss it further."

Gu Sheng nodded slightly, but several thoughts had already passed through his mind.

Xiao Xuance's attitude seems polite, but in fact it is ambiguous.

he thought to himself.

"Sect Master Xiao may not have the intention to go back on the agreement, but if Myriad Spirits Palace really wants to go back on it, it will be easy for me."

"This is inappropriate!"

A clear but somewhat arrogant voice suddenly broke the delicate atmosphere in the hall.

Gu Sheng looked around and saw a young man wearing a luxurious brocade robe walking out from behind the elders' table.

The young man is about in his early twenties, with a handsome face but a bit of sinisterness. The jade pendant around his waist jingles with his steps, and his whole body faintly exudes the aura of the Earth Martial Realm.

"Linggan! Don't be rude!"

First Elder Zhao Wuji shouted in a deep voice, but there was not much blame in his tone.

Xiao Xuance frowned slightly and glanced at First Elder.

"Elder Zhao, take care of your juniors."

Gu Sheng took in all this and thought to himself.

"It seems that this Myriad Spirits Palace is calm on the surface, but there is an undercurrent surging inside."

"Nephew Gu Xian has come all the way, why not stay at the Myriad Spirits Palace for a few days first."

Xiao Xuance turned to Gu Sheng, with a gentle smile on his face again.

"Mengdie, please take Nephew Gu to settle down at the Clear Bamboo Pavilion. I will hold a banquet at the Purple Cloud Hall tonight to welcome Nephew Gu."

After saying that, Xiao Xuance waved his sleeves and left the hall with a group of elders.

Gu Sheng noticed that First Elder gave him a meaningful look before leaving, while Zhao Lingqian stood there with undisguised hostility in his eyes.

"Mr. Gu, please come with me."

Xiao Mengdie's voice brought Gu Sheng's thoughts back to reality.

She had regained her composure, with a slight smile hanging on her lips, but Gu Sheng still captured the flash of loneliness in her eyes.

The two walked out of the hall side by side, and the sun shone on Xiao Mengdie's delicate side face, coating her with a soft golden edge.

Gu Sheng couldn't help but ask.

"Miss Xiao, I wonder if your sister is in the sect now?"

Xiao Mengdie's footsteps paused imperceptibly, and then he continued to move forward as if nothing had happened.

"Sister is a disciple of the Great Desolation Sacred Academy Inner Court. She rarely returns to the sect on weekdays. But my father should have sent someone to inform her, maybe."

She paused.

"Maybe you can see her tonight."

Gu Sheng noticed the subtle emotional change in Xiao Mengdie's tone when he mentioned his sister.

Just when he wanted to ask something more, a Dao Body figure suddenly stopped in front of the two of them.

"Junior Sister Mengdie, where are you going?"

Zhao Lingqian didn't know when he was standing in the middle of the road, with a frivolous smile on his face, but his eyes were coldly locked on Gu Sheng.

Xiao Mengdie frowned slightly.

"Senior Brother Zhao, is there something wrong?"

Zhao Lingqian did not answer Xiao Mengdie, but looked Gu Sheng up and down.

"I heard that you are here to fulfill your engagement?"

He took a step forward, and the aura around him suddenly became sharp.

"I advise you to be wise and leave Myriad Spirits Palace as soon as possible. Xiao Mengling is not something a country bumpkin like you can get involved in!"

Gu Sheng's face remained unchanged and he asked calmly.

"What if I don't?"

"Seeking death!"

A cold light flashed in Zhao Lingqian's eyes, Earth Martial Realm's momentum suddenly exploded, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

He smiled conspiratorially.

"Don't think that the sect master will support you. My grandfather is First Elder. The sect master will not quarrel with my grandfather for a small character like you!"

"Zhao Lingqian!"

Xiao Mengdie's voice suddenly turned cold as ice.

Before Gu Sheng could see her movements clearly, he saw a white shadow flash past. Xiao Mengdie had appeared in front of Zhao Lingqian. At some point, there was a cold dagger in his hand, and the tip of the knife was pressed against Zhao Lingqian's throat.

"Master Gu is my savior."

Xiao Mengdie's voice was soft but full of killing intent.

"If you speak rudely again, I won't mind meeting you life or death."

Zhao Lingqian's pupils shrank suddenly, and he could feel the cold blade cutting through the skin of his neck, and the warm blood flowing down his neck.

What shocked him even more was that the aura that Xiao Mengdie erupted at this moment was the fourth or even fifth level of cultivation of the Earth Martial Realm!

"When did you?"

Zhao Lingqian's voice trembled with horror.

Xiao Mengdie did not answer, but coldly retracted the dagger, and when he turned around, the peaceful smile returned to his face.

"Mr. Gu, let's go."

Gu Sheng was secretly shocked. He didn't expect that the seemingly weak Xiao Mengdie could have such strength.

He followed Xiao Mengdie's footsteps, but was keenly aware of Zhao Lingqian's murderous gaze behind him.

When passing by Zhao Lingqian, Gu Sheng clearly saw the other party mouthing a silent threat.

"You're dead."

Zhao Lingqian smiled ferociously, clasped his hands, and a translucent cover flew out from his palms, swelled in the wind, and in an instant turned into a huge light cover with a radius of a hundred feet, covering the entire villa.

Densely packed runes circulated on the light mask, blocking out all energy.

"Myriad Spirits Heaven Sealing Cover?"

Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, with surprise in his eyes.

"First Elder is quite willing to give it to you, even giving you these treasures."

"Hahaha, are you afraid now?"

Zhao Lingqian shook his head proudly.

"In this cover, even if I kill you, no one outside will know!"

Gu Sheng Hearing this, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Kill me? Zhao Lingqian, do you have the courage?"

Zhao Lingqian's face froze, and then he became angry with embarrassment.

"Killing you will be troublesome, but it's okay to cripple your limbs!"

He waved his hand sharply.

"Fuck me! Beat him until he kneels down and begs for mercy and takes the initiative to find Meng Ling to break off the engagement!"

More than a dozen Myriad Spirits Palace disciples responded to the call. The weakest of them had the late cultivation level of the Black Tortoise Realm, and the two strongest ones had already broken through to the Earth Martial Realm.
