Chapter 1220 - 634: The Misunderstanding Deepens

"Holy Mother!"

A female disciple came running in a panic.

"The Qiankun Venerate King is coming to the Holy Heaven Peak!"

"What?"

The Tianlan Saint Mother’s phoenix eyes narrowed.

"Didn’t the Taiyi Immortal King already search?"

Gongsun Yue stomped her foot anxiously.

"It must be the Second Elder’s trick! I just saw them having a secret meeting with the Qiankun Venerate King!"

The Tianlan Saint Mother immediately understood the intrigue.

"Yue’er, quickly go to the Water Spirit Pavilion and notify Gu Yu!"

"Yes!" Gongsun Yue was about to leave but was held back by her mother.

"Act carefully, don’t get discovered."

The Tianlan Saint Mother pulled out a jade talisman from her sleeve and handed it to her daughter.

"If you’re in danger, break it immediately!"

Meanwhile, on the mountain path of Holy Land Peak.

"Venerate King, that Gu Yu is in the Water Spirit Pavilion."

The Seventh Elder lowered his voice.

"Though that girl is young, she has already grown beautifully..."

The Qiankun Venerate King’s eyes showed a sinister gleam as he licked his lips.

"Good, I’ll meet her personally."

The Second Elder bowed obsequiously.

"With your intervention, victory is assured. It’s just..." he hesitated deliberately.

"If the Tianlan Saint Master discovers it was us..."

"Useless!"

The Qiankun Venerate King turned into a puff of green smoke and headed straight from the Holy Heaven Peak to the Holy Land Peak at a speed that almost tore through the void.

His target was clear—the Water Spirit Pavilion.

"Mother, what is he planning to do?"

Gongsun Yue’s slender fingers unknowingly tightened around her sleeves, a wave of unease engulfing her heart.

The Tianlan Saint Mother frowned deeply.

"Not good, he’s likely targeting Gu Sheng’s sister."

The Seventh Elder whispered to the Second Elder.

"Second Brother, should we follow?"

The Second Elder decided swiftly.

"Go! If we don’t go, it will reveal our guilt."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Second and Seventh Elders soared into the air, following the Qiankun Venerate King’s path towards the Holy Heaven Peak.

Their actions seemed covert, yet they couldn’t escape the sharp eyes of the Tianlan Saint Master.

"Mother, we must go take a look!" Gongsun Yue urged, her eyes full of anxiety.

The Tianlan Saint Mother hesitated briefly before making a decision quickly.

"Let’s go, we cannot let him misbehave."

Just as she took a step, the Tianlan Saint Master’s questioning gaze fell on her.

The Tianlan Saint Mother explained in a low voice.

"Gu Sheng’s sister is on the Holy Heaven Peak, I’ll go see what’s happening."

The Tianlan Saint Master’s gaze swept back and forth between the Qiankun Venerate King and the two elders, his eyes gradually turning cold.

"Be cautious. The Second Elder’s methods are not simple."

"Remember, you must endure."

The Tianlan Saint Mother nodded solemnly and then transformed into two streams of light with Gongsun Yue, heading straight for the Holy Heaven Peak.

"Second Brother, the Tianlan Saint Mother is following us,"

The Seventh Elder communicated, somewhat nervous.

The Second Elder sneered.

"What are you afraid of? She wouldn’t dare be presumptuous before the Qiankun Venerate King."

At the same time, the Taiyi Immortal King’s divine thought swept across the entire Holy Land, searching swiftly.

He had just left the Holy Heaven Peak and quickly searched the Holy Land Peak and the surrounding Spirit Mountains.

Detecting the movements of the Qiankun Venerate King and others, he sighed helplessly.

"An esteemed Immortal King, yet I’m tasked with hunting down a mere boy still wet behind the ears."

The Taiyi Immortal King felt indignant.

"This will be the shame of my life."

But thinking of the orders from the Supreme Immortal Sect Master, he could only suppress his discontent and continue the search for Gu Sheng.

The Qiankun Venerate King was the first to arrive at the Water Spirit Pavilion. Detecting the presence of the Tianlan Saint Mother and Gongsun Yue behind him, his eyes turned sinister.

"Hmm, they arrived quickly."

He snorted coldly, his speed suddenly increasing.

"Boom——"

The Tianlan Saint Mother looked directly at the Qiankun Venerate King.

"Why does the Venerate King suddenly visit the Holy Heaven Peak?"

Gongsun Yue took advantage of her mother’s distraction and quietly left the Water Spirit Pavilion, dashing towards the direction of the Taoist temple.

"Not good!"

The Second Elder keenly noticed Gongsun Yue’s actions and immediately communicated with the Qiankun Venerate King.

"That girl has gone towards the Taoist temple!"

Upon hearing this, the Qiankun Venerate King was furious, his aura erupting violently, pressing towards the Tianlan Saint Mother.

"Wretch! How dare you play tricks?"

He shouted in anger, about to rush to the Water Spirit Pavilion’s entrance.

The Tianlan Saint Mother stood her ground, her robes fluttering without wind, forming a barrier of powerful spiritual power around her.

"What does the Venerate King mean by this? I don’t understand."

"Don’t pretend to be ignorant!" The Qiankun Venerate King’s eyes exposed killing intent.

"Letting Gongsun Yue report to that little wretch, do you think I’m blind?"

The Tianlan Saint Mother’s expression remained unchanged, but a storm surged within her.

She glanced at the Second and Seventh Elders not far away.

"Second Elder, Seventh Elder, what is the meaning of this?"

The Second Elder maintained his composure, stepped forward, and said.

"Holy Mother, you are overthinking. We were simply concerned about the Venerate King acting alone."

"Is that so?"

The Tianlan Saint Mother sneered.

"Then why did you follow right after he moved, and how did you discover Yue’er’s whereabouts so quickly?"

The Seventh Elder’s face changed slightly, but the Second Elder remained calm.

"You are mistaken, Holy Mother. We..."

"Enough!"

The Qiankun Venerate King shouted violently, interrupting the Second Elder.

"I have no time for your nonsense! Tianlan Saint Mother, move aside immediately, or don’t blame me for bathing the Tianlan Holy Land in blood!"

The Tianlan Saint Mother’s pupils constricted as she weighed her options.

If she didn’t step aside, the Qiankun Venerate King was likely to summon the Taiyi Immortal King, which would have unimaginable consequences.

But if she did step aside, Gu Sheng’s sister would be in grave danger.

While she hesitated, the Tianlan Saint Master’s voice resonated in her mind.

"Step aside, don’t confront them head-on."

The Tianlan Saint Mother slowly withdrew her aura.

"Please proceed, Venerate King."

The Qiankun Venerate King glared at her viciously, bypassed the Water Spirit Pavilion, and dashed towards the direction of the Taoist temple.

The Second and Seventh Elders were about to follow but were stopped by the Tianlan Saint Mother.

"Is it your intention to disregard my authority, Elders?"
