Gu Sheng and the Tianxuan Divine Girlās engagement was one of Tianlan Sacred Landās greatest assets.
Now that this bond is broken, it means Purple Spirit Divine Mountain will no longer protect them, and Supreme Immortal Sectās revenge will be unstoppable!
Azure Dragon Immortal King looked at the panicked expressions of everyone and said indifferently.
"However, this king can shield Tianlan Sacred Land from Supreme Immortal Sectās revenge and agree to one condition of Gu Shengās."
He flicked his finger, and a blue scale floated slowly towards the Tianlan Saint Master.
"Give this to Gu Sheng. Crush it, and this king will appear to fulfill this promise."
Tianlan Saint Master received the scale with both hands, feeling a chill as he grasped it, faintly sensing the terrifying power contained within.
Quickly bowing in thanks.
"Thank you for your grace, Immortal King!"
Azure Dragon Immortal King spoke no more, turned to leave, when a timid voice suddenly sounded.
"Please... may I ask..."
Following the voice, everyone saw Gu Yu break free from Gongsun Yueās embrace, her little face pale yet stubbornly gazing up at the Azure Dragon Immortal King.
"Is there really no possibility between my brother and the Tianxuan Divine Girl?"
Azure Dragon Immortal King turned, his gaze landing on Gu Yu.
The girlās thin body trembled slightly under his gaze, yet she stubbornly remained standing.
"Unless your brother possesses cultivation equal to my fatherās."
Azure Dragon Immortal Kingās voice was cold.
"Otherwise, thereās not a chance."
"Tell him to give up. Persisting will only bring about ruin."
After speaking, the Devouring Sky Worm beneath him roared, three huge mouths simultaneously tearing open the void.
The Azure Dragon Immortal Kingās figure disappeared along with the space rift, leaving behind chaos and the shocked crowd.
Gu Yuās tears slid down silently.
Although young, she understood the weight in the Azure Dragon Immortal Kingās words. That lofty existence didnāt even deign to lie to deceive her.
Gongsun Yue collapsed onto the ground as well, the relief of survival mixed with the shock of the broken engagement leaving her mind blank.
"Someone!"
Tianlan Saint Master suddenly shouted harshly.
"Take Gongsun Yue away to confinement! Who gave you the courage to act on your own, almost causing your own and Gu Yuās death!"
A few Law Enforcement Disciples immediately stepped forward to support the thoroughly wounded Gongsun Yue.
"Father!
Gongsun Yue struggled to shout.
"I just wanted to save someone."
"Silence!"
Tianlan Saint Masterās anger was uncontrollable.
"Take her away! Without my orders, no one is allowed to release her!"
After Gongsun Yue was dragged away, Tianlan Saint Motherās cold gaze suddenly turned to the corner.
"Second Elder, Seventh Elder, where do you intend to go?"
The two elders preparing to sneak away froze. Second Elder forced himself to remain calm and turned around.
"Holy Mother, Iām just going to check the disciple casualties."
"Really?"
Tianlan Saint Mother approached step by step, with each step the temperature in the air dropped.
"Conspiring with external enemies, betraying the sacred land, what audacity you have!"
Cold sweat broke out on Seventh Elderās forehead.
"Holy Mother, Iām being wronged! I just..."
"Saint Master!"
Tianlan Saint Mother coldly interrupted.
"Clear the field!"
Tianlan Saint Master understood, waved his sleeve, and a terrifying Divine Thought swept across the sacred land.
After a series of muffled sounds, more than a dozen figures fell out of the void, already lifeless.
Yet many spies successfully escaped, carrying the dayās observations away from Tianlan Sacred Land.
Tianlan Saint Masterās face was dark as water.
"The news will soon spread."
He knew too well what this meantāGu Sheng being divorced by the Tianxuan Divine Girl, Tianlan Sacred Land losing its greatest support.
The Six Great Holy Lands would no longer fear them, and Gu Sheng himself would become the target of public criticism!
Tianlan Saint Master slowly withdrew his pressure, and everyone in the field simultaneously turned their gaze towards Tianlan Saint Mother.
Her eyes were filled with fury as she walked step by step towards Second Elder and Seventh Elder.
Second Elder, however, remained calm, cupped his hands, and said.
"What guidance does the Holy Mother have?"
"Guidance?"
Tianlan Saint Mother coldly laughed.
"Second Elder, you have such thick skin!"
She suddenly raised her hand, and a Spiritual Power Light Screen unfolded in the air, replaying the scene of Second Elder secretly sending a message to Qiankun Venerate King.
"You deliberately leaked Yueāer and Gu Yuās whereabouts, almost causing their death, and still dare to pretend ignorance?"
"Second Elder, what do you have to say?!"
Everyone in the field cast disgusted glances at Second Elder, and some even directly shouted curses.
"Holy Mother, see clearly!"
Seventh Elder knelt down with a trembling voice.
"I am not involved, itās all my second brother..."
"Shut up!"
Daoist Xiushan shouted angrily, pointing at Second Elder.
"Betraying comrades for self-preservation, Saint Master, please let me handle this scoundrel!"
Facing the accusations, Second Elder remained composed, instead looking up and laughing.
"Hahaha, what a charge thatās being imposed!"
"The so-called āevidenceā of the Holy Mother is merely a picture simulated by Spiritual Power fluctuations. May I ask, who saw me sending a message with their own eyes? Who heard me confess with their own ears?"
Tianlan Saint Mother was trembling slightly with anger from this sophistry.
"You!"
Second Elder pressed his advantage.
"Without concrete evidence, how can one be convicted? Where are the sacred landās rules? Where is the Saint Masterās dignity?"
Tianlan Saint Master raised his hand to stop the outraged Tianlan Saint Mother from acting.
"This matter still needs investigation. Before evidence is conclusive, rash judgments cannot be made."
Second Elder felt somewhat triumphant, cupped his hands, and said.
"Saint Master is wise. In that case, I shall take my leave first."
After speaking, he quickly left with Seventh Elder, heading straight to the Elder Hall.
"Why did you stop me?!"
After the crowd dispersed, Tianlan Saint Mother could no longer suppress her fury.
"That old fool is clearly..."
"I know."
Tianlan Saint Master sighed.
"But now is not the time to act against them."
He looked towards the direction of the Elder Hall, his gaze profound.
"Second Elder has operated here for many years, his forces deeply rooted. Seventh Elder may be timid and cowardly, but he has the backing of the Dan Ding Pavilion lineage. If we act against them now, chaos in the sacred land will ensue."
