The Woman in the Red Dress
In the Exquisite World, due to the Incomplete Heavenly Dao and the resulting deficiencies in the comprehension of its Dao Resonance, the strength of Cultivator is a level weaker than that in the Heavenly Ladder.
At this moment, Gu Yuanqing in the Ancient Realm could easily defeat Celestial Person who had not yet survived the Heavenly Tribulation. He would need to fight against someone who had experienced the first Heavenly First Tribulation of Heavenly Change to know for sure, and he would have to be careful when facing someone who Two Tribulations of Heavenly Change.
Judging from their auras, the three Celestial Person who appeared earlier should be beings from the same level as those who had First Tribulation of Heavenly Change. Gu Yuanqing was not afraid of them.
The Red-Robed Woman was at the Two Tribulations of Heavenly Change Realm, which Gu Yuanqing found difficult to defeat, so he was naturally somewhat wary.
The woman in the red dress glanced at Gu Yuanqing and said lazily, "Tell me, how does your Sanyang Sect intend to resolve this matter? I'd love to hear it."
Chen Baotian's expression froze. If it were an ordinary Elder of the Illusionary Spirit Sect, he might not have been so wary. But this woman in front of him was different. Don't be fooled by her drunken and lazy appearance. She was unpredictable and could start a fight at the slightest provocation, without caring about the potential conflict Sect.
He said in a deep voice, "Elder Shang, this isn't about what I want, but rather what kind of explanation this Daoist Friend intends to give. The people of my Sanyang Sect aren't people who can be killed so easily."
The woman in the red dress sat casually on the Immortal Crane's back, took another sip of wine, and said, "I won't interfere in your feud with him, but you can't take him away. I don't think I need to explain why."
Chen Baotian's face darkened. "Elder Shang, this is a bit too domineering."
"Domineering?" The woman in the red dress glanced sideways at Chen Baotian.
Chen Baotian's heart skipped a beat. He took a deep breath and looked at Gu Yuanqing: "Fellow Daoist Friend, I have already made myself clear. The choice is yours. You do not wish to be an enemy of my Sanyang Sect, do you?"
The woman in the red dress said calmly, "Young friend, do not worry. If you become Guest Elder of my Illusionary Spirit Sect, you will be a friend of my Illusionary Spirit Sect. Anyone who wants to make things difficult for you will have to think twice."
Seeing the two sides locked in a tense standoff, Gu Yuanqing chuckled and said, "I have no desire to get involved in the Sect rivalries; I simply wish to cultivate by the Boundless River."
Chen Baotian said with a forced smile, "Daoist Friend, you should think this through carefully. It is said that it is better to resolve enmity than to create it. Now I am giving you a chance to resolve your grievances. Even if you become Guest Elder of the Illusionary Spirit Sect, you will only be Guest Elder. They can protect you for a while, but they will not protect you forever. As for the grudge between you and my disciple, even if I kill you, the Illusionary Spirit Sect cannot say anything."
Moreover, no matter how good your fishing skills are, they are just icing on the cake in the Illusionary Spirit Sect. However, in the Sanyang Sect, the treatment you receive is far superior to that in the Illusionary Spirit Sect. You should weigh the pros and cons carefully.
As for the rest, Daoist Friend, there's no need to worry; the Sect will handle it."
The woman in the red dress said, "Chen Baotian, do you have a death wish?"
Chen Baotian's heart skipped a beat, as if he sensed murderous intent. He forced a smile and said, "Elder Shang, what are you saying? I had no intention of provoking your Sect; I was just stating the facts. Surely the Illusionary Spirit Sect should be reasonable?"
The woman in the red dress snorted coldly and remained silent.
Yi Yunbo muttered under his breath, "Uncle-Master seems to have drunk a little less today. Why is he being so reasonable?"
Qiu Ziqing lowered his voice and said, "Shut up!"
The woman in the red dress glanced at them with an unfriendly look.
Qiu Ziqing forced a smile and said, "Junior Sister Shang, it's been a long time."
Yi Yunbo felt a chill run down his spine and hid behind his Master's figure.
The woman in the red dress stared for a moment before expressionlessly looking away.
Gu Yuanqing watched this unfold, a playful smile inexplicably creeping onto his face. This Illusionary Spirit Sect seemed quite interesting, much better than the Sanyang Sect.
Chen Baotian of the Sanyang Sect frowned upon seeing this smile, his face darkening. "Does Daoist Friend find my words amusing?"
Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "It is quite funny. Everyone knows the cause and effect of what happened that day. The Three Sanyang Sect Sect in the Exquisite World, acts in such a way that it turns black into white. Now we have personally experienced it. No wonder so many Cultivator in the Exquisite World hate the Sanyang Sect to the extreme, but dare not speak out against it."
Zhuang Tianlai angrily retorted, "You surnamed Gu, what nonsense are you spouting? How dare you slander my Three Sanyang Sect Sanyang Sect and tarnish its reputation? Can you bear the consequences?"
Chen Baotian's tone turned icy. "Daoist Friend Gu, watch your words. You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
Gu Yuanqing chuckled, "What, you dare to do it, but you're afraid I'll say anything?"
The atmosphere at the scene immediately turned chilling, with murderous intent lingering.
Yi Yunbo grew anxious and transmitted his voice, "Daoist Friend, please stop talking. If the Sanyang Sect takes action because of this, even my Illusionary Spirit Sect cannot interfere."
Qiu Ziqing frowned slightly, feeling that this Cultivator surnamed Gu was speaking somewhat recklessly.
You can talk about a particular person in the Sanyang Sect, but you absolutely cannot talk about the Sect. Some things can be said in private, but it's not good to bring them up in public, unless you're planning to completely ruin things.
The woman in the red dress in mid-air looked at Gu Yuanqing with a slightly surprised and curious gaze.
Chen Baotian suddenly looked up and said, "Fellow Daoist Friend of the Illusionary Spirit Sect, you must have heard this person's slanderous words against our Sect. It's not that I, Chen, am unwilling to give you face, but this person dared to speak ill of our sect. As Sanyang Sect Elder, if I don't do something today, I would be unworthy of this position!"
Gu Yuanqing scoffed, "If you want to make a move, then do it. Why bother with so many excuses!"
Upon hearing these words, before Chen Baotian could react, another Celestial Person from the Sanyang Sect, several miles away, couldn't hold back any longer. He coldly shouted in a hoarse voice, "You're courting death!"
As he spoke, he stepped forward, raised his Sword-Finger, and slashed down in mid-air, his eyes shining brightly at the same time.
Gu Yuanqing felt an invisible Qi enveloping him, and the interplay of Yin-Yang and Yang energies seemed intent on destroying his personal domain.
He glanced behind him in surprise. This pupil Pupil Technique was indeed extraordinary, clearly showing some resemblance to the Yin-Yang Realm. If he hadn't already witnessed the strength of the Yin-Yang Realm and integrated it into his own domain, he might have had his domain broken by it when caught off guard.
Gu Yuanqing raised his hand, about to retaliate.
Suddenly, the Red-Robed Woman in mid-air tossed her Wine Gourd, which instantly grew to an immense size, unleashing a torrent of water that poured down from the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the world changed. The original dark brown mountains had disappeared, and the group seemed to have arrived in an ocean world.
The attack from the Sanyang Sect vanished without a trace!
Gu Yuanqing's gaze narrowed slightly, Void Piercing Heavenly Eye surveyed the surroundings. "Is it the Heavenly Human Realm, or an illusion?"
