Chapter 857 - 452: Crashing Into the Seal

Elder Qingxia didn’t speak, just smiled and nodded, "It’s fine."

"Elder Qingxia, I just want to go into the Female Gallery to check on someone. Please forgive me."

Ji Hui requested Elder Qingxia.

"Someone? Male or female?"

Elder Qingxia asked.

"A male, named Gu Sheng, who was brought into the Female Gallery by the Shaking Light Saintess."

Ji Hui said, glancing at the Shaking Light Saintess.

Elder Qingxia’s gaze turned to the Shaking Light Saintess, deliberately using a cold tone to ask, "Yao Xi, is this true?"

The Shaking Light Saintess remained calm, gently shaking her head and said, "Elder, there’s absolutely no such thing. There’s no such person in the Female Gallery."

"Elder, it’s not true."

"Yeah, it doesn’t exist; Ji Hui is talking nonsense."

"There’s no such man; it’s all Ji Hui’s lies. Elder, don’t believe Ji Hui’s lies!"

Others in the Female Gallery agreed, claiming ignorance.

"Elder Qingxia, I received accurate information that Gu Sheng is hiding in the Female Gallery. If the truth isn’t found, it might be hard to convince others."

Ji Hui persisted, unwilling to give up.

Elder Qingxia frowned slightly, contemplating what action to take.

She knew Ji Hui’s temperament but also understood the rules of the Female Gallery.

"Ji Hui, the Female Gallery is a forbidden area of our Shaking Light Sacred Land and cannot be entered casually. Since the Shaking Light Saintess says no one is there, then there naturally isn’t. If you don’t believe it, you can leave first, and I’ll give you an answer after I’ve investigated."

Elder Qingxia said solemnly.

"This..."

Ji Hui saw Elder Qingxia’s firm attitude, knowing she couldn’t force her way in, she reluctantly backed down for the moment.

She nodded slightly and then said, "Since Elder Qingxia says so, then I will take my leave for now."

Having said that, she waved her hand to her subordinates.

"Elder, they...they are clearly lying!"

One of the Ji family ancestors stepped forward to say.

"Shut up!"

Ji Hui said coldly, then left with all her subordinates.

After Ji Hui left, Elder Qingxia’s face immediately became serious.

"Saintess, if there really is such a person in the Female Gallery, you must quickly send him away. You know the rules of the Female Gallery; they cannot be broken for one person."

Elder Qingxia said coldly.

"Uh..."

The Shaking Light Saintess hesitated for a second, then nodded understandingly, "Elder, don’t worry, I’ll go in and have a look."

Then, the Shaking Light Saintess went back into the Female Gallery and found Gu Sheng in the room.

At this moment, Gu Sheng was still seated, his Divine Power not fully restored.

"Oh! Trying to break through my seal?"

The Shaking Light Saintess said to Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng opened his eyes, filled with anger, "Quickly remove my seal!"

"Keep dreaming!"

The Shaking Light Saintess said with a playful smile, then pulled Gu Sheng out of the room.

"Where are you taking me?"

Gu Sheng asked reluctantly.

"Of course, to leave here. This Female Gallery is full of women; you’re not suited to be here."

The Shaking Light Saintess said as she pulled Gu Sheng along.

"No way, I haven’t even had a chance to enjoy myself yet."

Gu Sheng also said with a playful smile.

Just as Gu Sheng finished speaking, he saw Elder Qingxia standing at the entrance of the Female Gallery.

As soon as he saw Elder Qingxia’s appearance, he knew she was not an ordinary person.

"Elder, it’s him."

The Shaking Light Saintess approached with some timidity and said.

Elder Qingxia glanced at Gu Sheng, then nodded, "Yao Xi, this is the first and last time! This situation should not occur again."

"Yes."

The Shaking Light Saintess nodded.

Next, Elder Qingxia looked at Gu Sheng, her eyes coldly asking, "Are you Gu Sheng?"

Gu Sheng nodded, "Yes, Elder."

"In the future, do not come here again, or I won’t be kind to you!"

Elder Qingxia said coldly.

"Elder, it’s not my fault; she...Yao Xi insisted on bringing me here."

Gu Sheng said, directly shifting the blame to the Shaking Light Saintess.

"You..."

The Shaking Light Saintess looked speechless, not expecting Gu Sheng to be so ungrateful, directly outing her.

"Shut up!"

The Shaking Light Saintess said coldly.

"Hurry up and leave!"

Elder Qingxia waved her hand.

Then the Shaking Light Saintess Yao Xi led Gu Sheng outside.

But just as they walked not far from the Female Gallery, a figure suddenly emerged from the shadows, directly blocking their path.

Gu Sheng looked carefully and realized it was Ji Hui.

"Gu Sheng, let’s see where you run off to this time!"

Ji Hui’s eyes gleamed with a sense of triumph.

It turned out that Ji Hui hadn’t really left, but had been secretly observing, waiting for the opportunity.

She knew that if Gu Sheng was truly in the Female Gallery, he would eventually slip up.

The Shaking Light Saintess shielded Gu Sheng behind her and said to Ji Hui, "Ji Hui, don’t go too far. This is Shaking Light Sacred Land, not a place your Ji family can run wild."

Ji Hui ignored the Shaking Light Saintess’s warning; her focus was solely on Gu Sheng.

If she could capture Gu Sheng, she could exact her revenge!

"Shaking Light Saintess, I don’t want to be your enemy, but I must take Gu Sheng."

Ji Hui said coldly.

The standoff between the two sides made the atmosphere tense, and a conflict seemed inevitable.

"Ji Hui, why involve others in our grievances?"

Gu Sheng took a step forward, directly facing Ji Hui, "If you want a battle, I, Gu Sheng, will accompany you to the end."

"Hmph!"

Ji Hui snorted coldly, "Gu Sheng, our grievances naturally need to be settled clearly. Today, you can’t escape."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Ji family cultivators behind her stepped forward, surrounding Gu Sheng and the Shaking Light Saintess.

The Shaking Light Saintess’s eyes flashed with determination, "Ji Hui, do you really want to be enemies with my Shaking Light Sacred Land?"

"Shaking Light Saintess, if you step aside now, I promise not to harm you at all."

Ji Hui said with a cold smile.

"Don’t even think about it! Today, I will see what your Ji family is capable of."

Having said that, the Shaking Light Saintess unsheathed her longsword.

The sword light was like water, a chilling aura burst out from within her.

Seeing this, Ji Hui only smiled slightly.

At the same time, the Ji family cultivators behind her also brandished their magical treasures, ready for battle.

Just as the two sides were about to clash, an authoritative voice suddenly rang out, "Everyone, stop!"

With the voice’s command, a figure slowly approached, it was Elder Qingxia.

Upon seeing Elder Qingxia, Ji Hui smiled triumphantly, "Elder Qingxia, what do you think? The Shaking Light Saintess indeed lied, secretly hiding a man in the Female Gallery. If this gets out..."

"Ji Hui, what do you mean by this?"

Elder Qingxia asked coldly.

Ji Hui gave a cold chuckle, "Elder Qingxia, the Shaking Light Saintess’s actions have already violated the rules of the Female Gallery. If this gets out, it wouldn’t bode well for the reputation of the Shaking Light Sacred Land, would it?"

"Ji Hui, are you threatening me?"

Elder Qingxia’s eyes were filled with anger.

Ji Hui did not back down, "Not at all. I am only stating a fact I witnessed with my own eyes. Please don’t misunderstand."

Elder Qingxia’s face became very grim, knowing that Ji Hui was deliberately provoking her.

"Hmph..."

Elder Qingxia took a deep breath, suppressing her inner anger, "Ji Hui, if you continue to spew nonsense, don’t blame me for being unkind."

"Elder Qingxia, if you wish to take action, I, Ji Hui, will accompany you to the end."

Ji Hui seemed unafraid of Elder Qingxia’s threat, continuing to provoke.

As soon as she finished speaking, the Ji family cultivators behind Ji Hui stepped forward, revealing their weapons.

"Ji Hui, you brought this upon yourself."

Elder Qingxia said coldly.

Then, a sparkling and radiant longsword suddenly appeared in Elder Qingxia’s hand.

"Swish!"

She gently swung, and a powerful Sword Qi surged toward Ji Hui.

Ji Hui didn’t dare to be careless, quickly arousing her Divine Power to meet Elder Qingxia’s Sword Qi.

"Boom!"

Their powers intertwined, creating a massive air tremor.

The surrounding cultivators retreated in fear of being caught up in these two powerful forces.

When Ji Hui saw Elder Qingxia attack, a hint of fierceness flashed in her eyes.
