Central Continent Holy Land, it is a behemoth that truly overlooks the entire continent, and every move affects the situation.
It is unusual for them to suddenly turn their attention to Eastern Wasteland, which has relatively poor resources.
"As for the Holy Court," Miss Tantai's voice had a hint of coldness.
"Due to full preparations to deal with the Central Continent Holy Land incident, the energy of the top management has been restrained, and they may not have time to deal with the Xiao Beixuan rebellion and genocide in the short term.
Although the imaging crystal brought back by Xia Furong has been submitted, the Holy Academy is temporarily unable to provide more assistance in the pursuit of Xiao Beixuan. You need to deal with this person on your own."
Gu Sheng's eyes darkened.
Xiao Beixuan is burdened with the Human King Realm's cultivation and Styx heritage, which is a serious problem for him. Now that the Holy Academy has been stymied by the Central Continent's incident, it undoubtedly gives Xiao Beixuan more time to breathe and make plans.
This is by no means good news.
"Also," Miss Tantai's shadow seemed to become more solid, and his tone also took on a hint of solemnity.
"About Nether River Venerable Zhao Wuming. My sister has used family power to find out the exact place where he was sealed. Holy Court Academy Head has also learned about this and will go to investigate with my sister in the near future.
If the seal can be found and strengthened, it may be possible to delay his escape and cut off the biggest support behind Xiao Beixuan."
Nether River Venerable's sealed place! Gu Sheng was shocked.
The weight of this news is heavier than Heavenly Profound Sacred Land's Yunzhou.
If this source can be solved, the harm of Xiao Beixuan will be greatly reduced.
However, even the Holy Court Academy Head has to personally take action, so the sealed place must be extremely dangerous.
"You need to be aware of all the above things." Miss Tantai's shadow began to become blurry, and his voice became ethereal.
"Eastern Wasteland will be in chaos, powerful enemies are around, Gu Sheng, take care of yourself."
As the words fell, the shadow shattered, turning into little streams of light and dispersing in the air, leaving only the cold jade medal lying quietly in Gu Sheng's palm.
Gu Sheng held the jade plaque and unconsciously rubbed its smooth surface with his fingertips.
Central Continent Heavenly Profound Sacred Land's unusual movements, the Holy Court's lack of time to care, Nether River Venerable's exploration of the sealed land...
One after another, they all indicate that under the calm surface, the turbulent undercurrent is about to explode.
Eastern Wasteland, things are really going to change.
He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and focused his eyes on the jade token in his hand again.
I had not noticed it when I was projecting it, but when I looked closely at it, I discovered that the surface of this seemingly simple ice crystal jade tablet was actually densely etched with countless tiny lines that were difficult to discern with the naked eye.
These lines are not decoration, but constitute hundreds of complicated and mysterious micro formations, which are nested and connected with each other to form an extremely precise whole.
"What a clever trick!"
Gu Sheng had wonder in his eyes.
With his current attainments in formations, he could only barely identify a few of the basic spatial stabilization formations and mental power transmission circuits, while the more profound ones were like seeing flowers in the fog.
To be able to integrate so many high-level formations on a small jade tablet, and to perfectly carry the power of "Myriad Miles Projection Crystal" for ultra-long-distance conversations, the mental power of the person who refined this thing must have reached at least the level of Eighth-Rank Artifact Refining Grandmaster!
Tantai Family's background is indeed unfathomable.
Putting away the jade plaque solemnly, Gu Sheng suppressed these complicated messages for the time being.
The top priority is the upcoming trip to southern Xinjiang.
Golden Winged Great Peng remains secret realm is dangerous and unknown, and southern Xinjiang is even famous for its poisonous miasma.
Xia Furong is seriously injured and has not recovered. If you travel together, you must be prepared.
He walked to the alchemy furnace, waved his hand, and dozens of medicinal materials flew out of the storage ring and floated in the air.
Several of the main herbs exude a spicy and pungent smell, and they are exactly Spiritual Plant, which is specially designed to suppress miasma poisonous poisonous insects.
Gu Sheng sat down cross-legged, holding True Essence in his palms, the red pill furnace buzzed, the furnace lid opened, and blazing flames rose up.
His fingers flew like a butterfly through a flower, and he accurately dropped each medicinal ingredient into the furnace.
He is highly concentrated mentally and meticulously controls the temperature of the furnace fire and the rhythm of the smelting of medicinal materials.
The medicinal aroma in the alchemy room is permeated, sometimes spicy, sometimes cool, and the various medicinal properties are slowly blended under the tempering of the fire.
Time passes quietly in the focused refining.
When the fire in the furnace gradually died down and the furnace lid was opened, three longan-sized, green pills with golden elixir patterns on their surface flew out and fell into the jade bottle that Gu Sheng had prepared.
The elixir exudes a cool breath, and has a faint feeling of dispelling filth.
"Azure Phosphorus Golden Pattern Pill."
Gu Sheng looked at the elixir in the jade bottle and nodded slightly.
This elixir is miraculous in resisting common poisonous miasma and low-level poisonous insects in southern Xinjiang, and is enough to protect Xia Furong's basic safety in a place filled with miasma.
Put away the elixir, Gu Sheng adjust your breath for a moment, wait until the body True Essence returns to stability, then stand up and push open the thick stone door of the alchemy room.
As soon as I reached the stairs leading to the ground, I heard a slightly awkward conversation.
"Ahem, two fellow Daoists, Situ Qingfeng, I am really a friend of Gu Xiaoyou! You see, it was you Third Pavilion Master who personally brought me in and arranged for me to go to the room. I just wanted to go down to find him, and I had no other intentions!"
Situ Qingfeng's voice was a bit helpless. He was stopped at the top of the stairs by two guards wearing Tantai Family's unique ice pattern costumes.
The auras of these two guards were solemn, and they were both at the middle level of the Heavenly Martial Realm. Their faces were expressionless, and they only stretched out one hand. An invisible wall of air blocked Situ Qingfeng's way.
"The Pavilion Master has an order. The alchemy room is an important place and no one is allowed to enter without permission. Please go back to your room and wait."
The voice of the guard on the left was cold and emotionless.
Situ Qingfeng was about to say something else, when he saw Gu Sheng coming up from the corner of his eye. He immediately felt like a savior and shouted quickly.
"Gu Xiaoyou! You figured it out!"
When the two Tantai Family guards saw Gu Sheng, they immediately stopped their hands and bowed to salute.
"Third Pavilion Master!"
Gu Sheng nodded slightly. "It doesn't matter, Senior Situ is my guest."
He glanced at Situ Qingfeng. Although the latter's complexion was much better than when he first came out of the secret realm, his breath was still a little weak, and it was obvious that his injuries were far from healed.
Situ Qingfeng received permission and rushed to Gu Sheng's side, patting his chest with a look of lingering fear.
"Gu Xiaoyou, your Linlang Pavilion rules are really strong. These two fellow Daoists are quite powerful."
He then came closer, lowered his voice, and with a narrow smile, lightly touched Gu Sheng with his elbow.
"But having said that, Gu Xiaoyou, you are really... secretive!
The two pearls of the Tantai Family, tsk tsk, Grand Pavilion Mistress has entrusted you with important responsibilities, even letting you take care of the family secrets, and that Second Young Lady seems to also... Hehe, I admire your methods! When are you going to teach you two moves?"
His words were filled with obvious ridicule and tacit understanding between men. Although his voice was low, the people present had strong cultivation skills, so they could naturally hear it clearly.
Gu Sheng frowned slightly and was about to speak.
Changes occur suddenly!
Situ Qingfeng The moment before he finished speaking, a powerful, cold and invisible force descended from the void without any warning!
This power is not aimed at Gu Sheng, but is shrouded in Situ Qingfeng with great precision!
"Uh-huh!"
The narrow smile on Situ Qingfeng's face instantly solidified, replaced by extreme horror and pain!
He felt as if an iceberg of ten thousand years had crashed down. The terrifying pressure not only acted on his body, but also directly crushed his soul!
He didn't even have time to think of resistance before his whole body felt as if he had been hit hard by an invisible giant hand.
There was a loud "bang" and it hit the hard floor hard!
His internal organs seemed to be displaced, his energy and blood surged, and a mouthful of blood surged up into his throat and he swallowed it forcefully.
He struggled to raise his head, but found that the cold force was like a shackle, pressing him to the ground, unable to move, and even breathing became extremely difficult.
A cold, majestic voice, as if coming from the depths of the Netherworld, echoed in the stairwell without any emotion, and was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.
"Daughters of the Tantai family are not allowed to be disrespectful. I will give you a light punishment for your first offense. If you dare to speak rudely again, you will be punished without mercy!"
The sound was like a cold wave passing through, causing the temperature of the entire space to suddenly drop a few points.
The two Tantai Family guards stood with their heads down, not daring to express their dignity.
Situ Qingfeng was lying on the ground, his face pressed against the cold floor. Huge waves surged in his heart, leaving only endless shock and fear.
At that moment, he really felt the cold breath of death!
The cultivation level of the person who took action was definitely far beyond his imagination! Human King? Or even higher?
Only then did he realize what a terrible taboo his frivolous jokes had touched!
Tantai Family's defense of those two ladies is beyond the reach of any blasphemy!
Gu Sheng looked at Situ Qingfeng lying on the ground in a miserable state, with calm eyes.
He naturally knew that this was the action of the Tantai Family's secret guardian force, and it was also an unabashed warning to Situ Qingfeng.
He did not plead for mercy, but there are some rules that must be remembered.
The cold warning sound receded like the tide, and the terrifying power pressing on Situ Qingfeng also disappeared.
Situ Qingfeng coughed violently several times and struggled to get up from the ground. His face was as pale as paper. The eyes he looked at Gu Sheng were full of lingering fear and deep fear, and he no longer dared to make any fun of him.
He faced the void and raised his hands with difficulty, his voice dry.
"Senior... senior taught me a lesson! Junior... junior made a mistake and will never dare to do it again!"
There was silence in the air, no response.
The guardian in the dark seems to have never appeared.
At 13:32 on November 17, 2025, Beijing time in the East Eighth District, in front of the Linlang Pavilion in the busiest area of Great Desolation City, the originally bustling crowd seemed to be frozen by an invisible cold current. A terrifying pressure suddenly fell, the air was stagnant, and those with weaker cultivation even felt it was difficult to breathe.
Situ Qingfeng, the strong Venerable Realm who is regarded as a leader among the younger generation, is being suppressed to the ground in an extremely embarrassed manner.
He was facing down, his body pressed against the cold and smooth floor tiles. The Zhang Ping face that had always been somewhat arrogant was now full of horror and disbelief.
He struggled desperately, the veins on his neck popped out, but he couldn't even raise his head. It was as if an invisible big foot stepped on his spine, grinding all his dignity and strength into dust.
The people around him were silent, and their eyes were full of awe and fear. To be able to suppress a venerable person so easily, the strength of the person who came here was simply unfathomable.
At this moment, a Dao Body shadow came from far to near.
His speed didn't seem to be very fast, but just in a daze, the figure had penetrated the crowd and instantly arrived in front of Situ Qingfeng and Gu Sheng standing aside.
The visitor looked quite slovenly, his hair was as fluffy and tangled as tangled grass, as if it had not been carefully taken care of for many years, the clothes on his body were also old and worn, and even the shoes on his feet had holes in them, exposing some of his toes.
However, this seemingly downcast and beggar-like figure exudes a terrifying aura that makes the soul tremble.
That qi machine is invisible and insubstantial, but it is real. It is like ten thousand years of ice, causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply. It also makes those monks with keen senses, especially Venerable Realm strong men like Situ Qingfeng, feel an uncontrollable chill from the bottom of their hearts.
Gu Sheng frowned slightly, took a step forward, and stood between Situ Qingfeng and the sloppy figure.
His tone was calm, but with an unquestionable strength.
"Brother Wuyou, I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you so angry? This brother Situ is my friend. For my sake, let's just let this matter go. How about that?"
This sloppy guy is none other than Xia Wuyou.
Upon hearing Gu Sheng's words, Xia Wuyou's seemingly turbid eyes flashed with an imperceptible glint. He squeezed out a respectful smile on his face, bowed slightly to Gu Sheng, and his tone became polite.
"Since he is a friend of Brother Gu, it is naturally a misunderstanding. Xia is reckless."
The moment his voice fell, the invisible pressure that enveloped Situ Qingfeng receded like a tide and dissipated without a trace.
Situ Qingfeng felt a lightness on his body, and the power that almost crushed him disappeared instantly.
He took a sharp breath and climbed up from the ground with some staggering. The spiritual power in his body circulated for several weeks before he could barely suppress the surging blood.
The way he looked at Gu Sheng had completely changed. At first, he might have had some thoughts of talking about equality, but now he was full of deep fear and unspeakable speculation.
What kind of identity is this Gu Sheng? Even a terrifying existence like Xia Wuyou, whose mere energy left him powerless to resist, was so polite to him, even... respectful?
Situ Qingfeng is not a fool. He silently retreated to a position half a step behind Gu Sheng, keeping his posture extremely low and saying no more.
Xia Wuyou patted the non-existent dust on the shabby clothes and grinned at Gu Sheng, showing a mouth full of white teeth, which was in sharp contrast to his sloppy appearance.
"Brother Gu, it was the Bing Tang Pavilion Master who asked me to come back. The Pavilion Master sensed that Great Desolation City might have a sudden change in the near future, and was worried about it. She ordered me to come back and stay for a while to prevent any unexpected events. Oh, by the way, before I left, Second Young Lady specifically told me that during my stay at Great Desolation City, all actions will be at your disposal, Brother Gu."
When he mentioned "Second Young Lady", there was obvious awe in his tone.
Gu Sheng looked calm when he heard this, as if he had expected it.
He waved his hand gently, his tone casual.
"Thank you, Bing Tang, Pavilion Master and Second Young Lady are worried.
I don't have anything to help you with at the moment, so Brother Wuyou, just go your own way. If you need anything, I will look for you."
Xia Wuyou nodded, did not insist, just said.
