Chapter 1169: Chapter 608: Smashed to Pieces (Part 2)
The blood of Kunpeng Taoist fell from the sky like a torrential rain, dyeing the land below red.
At this moment, the scene was plunged into a strange deathly silence. Everyone was so shocked by this scene that they couldn’t speak, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.
The Great Elder of Qinghe Holy Land was trembling with anger, his aged body shaking with fury.
An overwhelming pressure continuously erupted from within him, causing the entire sky to shake violently.
"Gu Sheng!"
The Tianlan Saint Mother snapped out of her shock. Seeing Gu Sheng still alive and having slain Kunpeng Taoist with one sword stroke, she was both astonished and delighted.
"Haha, well done, well done indeed!"
The Tianlan Saint Master couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Other Holy Masters and elders from various sacred lands also looked on with schadenfreude.
The people of Qinghe Holy Land had been too arrogant, boasting that Kunpeng Taoist, a once-in-a-millennium genius, would kill all the geniuses of the Six Great Holy Lands.
Seeing Kunpeng Taoist counter-killed, everyone felt a sense of cathartic relief, as if they had vented their anger.
"Gu Sheng?"
Tie Shan, standing on the side, heard the Saint Mother call Gu Sheng’s name, and his body shivered violently.
His curious gaze locked onto Gu Sheng. Who exactly was this young man named Gu Sheng to cause such a stir?
"Gu Sheng!"
The Qiankun Venerate King, who was exerting all his efforts to break a seal, became extremely agitated upon hearing Gu Sheng’s name, his breath fluctuating violently. His chest heaved, and spiritual power began to surge uncontrollably around him.
"What did he do to the Venerate King?"
Tie Shan had never seen Qiankun Venerate King so unsettled before.
What exactly did Gu Sheng do to Qiankun Venerate King on the Holy Road? By rights, with Qiankun Venerate King’s strength, he should be able to roam unchallenged on the Holy Road.
He couldn’t fathom what threat Gu Sheng posed to Qiankun Venerate King, let alone provoke him to such an extent.
"Yue’er, how did Gu Sheng defeat Kunpeng Taoist? Did he use any special means?"
The Saint Mother, full of curiosity, couldn’t help but transmit her voice to Gongsun Yue inquiring. Her eyes carried an investigative look, hoping to obtain an answer from her daughter.
"Mother, this matter is too complicated."
Gongsun Yue gently shook her head, showing a helpless expression. She did not elaborate much because she knew a major upheaval was about to erupt here. The storm sparked by Gu Sheng had only just begun.
The Saint Mother was about to ask further, perplexed by her daughter’s vague explanation, but was interrupted by the voice of the Refining Dragon Saint Master beside her.
"Qinghe Saint Master, didn’t you say earlier that this little guy named Kunpeng was very strong? How come he’s now dead at someone else’s hand?" The Refining Dragon Saint Master said mockingly.
"Hahahaha."
The Refining Dragon Saint Master’s taunt made other Holy Masters burst into laughter.
The face of the Qinghe Saint Master looked extremely unsightly, and his previous arrogance had vanished without a trace. He hung his head, unable to utter a word.
"Saint Master, actually..."
The Refining Dragon Saintess, seeing the Saint Master mocking Kunpeng Taoist, remembered that she had forgotten to mention the enmity between the Refining Dragon Holy Land and Tianlan Sacred Land. She hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Actually, what is it, just say it, don’t be afraid of offending Qinghe Holy Land."
The Refining Dragon Saint Master, thinking the Refining Dragon Saintess wanted to recount Kunpeng Taoist’s embarrassing deeds, urged carelessly. Kunpeng Taoist was already dead, and Qinghe Holy Land had already lost face, so there was nothing to fear.
"Actually, not only were the people of Qinghe Holy Land killed by Gu Sheng, but our Refining Dragon Holy Land people were also killed by him."
The Refining Dragon Saintess finally revealed this shocking news. Her voice was not loud, yet it silenced everyone among the noisy scene.
"What did you say?"
The Refining Dragon Saint Master widened his eyes. He could understand if Gu Sheng killed a Kunpeng Taoist, perhaps using some special fortune.
But how could it be that others from Qinghe Holy Land also died at Gu Sheng’s hands, and even their Refining Dragon Holy Land’s people were not spared.
"Not just us, but those from Cang Mang Holy Land, Heavenly Immortal Holy Land, White Tiger Holy Land, and Purple Mist Holy Land also died because of him."
The Refining Dragon Saintess continued bitterly.
"What did you say?" "All caused by him?"
At this point, other Holy Masters couldn’t sit still. They gazed with questioning eyes towards the disciples who had fled from their respective holy lands. Those disciples, with bitter and helpless expressions, could only nod, giving a definite answer.
Everyone’s minds went blank, unable to process the fact for a moment. If it was merely Kunpeng Taoist slain by Gu Sheng, it might still be understandable as some method used or taking advantage of the vulnerability through a sneak attack.
But if all those from the Six Great Holy Lands died because of Gu Sheng, then this was no simple matter.
"Were all the geniuses of these holy lands killed by him, could it be..."
Tie Shan thought of a possibility. Were the injuries on Qiankun Venerate King also caused by Gu Sheng? If so, how powerful would Gu Sheng have to be?
Tie Shan couldn’t help but take a deep breath, his gaze towards Gu Sheng beginning to change. Whether it was his cultivation or age, Gu Sheng was far below Qiankun Venerate King.
If it was truly as he speculated, then Gu Sheng’s talent and potential were simply immeasurable.
"Not only that, he also gained the inheritance of the Holy Road Master."
The following words from the Refining Dragon Saintess cut through the sky, landing heavily on everyone’s heart.
Upon hearing these words, everyone was initially overwhelmed by boundless shock, with uncontrollable greed arising from each heart.
Not to mention them, even Tie Shan from the Purple Spirit Realm staggered, vastly shaken.
"The inheritance of the Holy Road Master, you mean the legacy left by the one who created the Holy Road?"
Tie Shan couldn’t help but ask, seeking a definite answer. If the Holy Road Master’s inheritance was truly obtained by Gu Sheng, what would that signify?
"It is indeed that inheritance."
The Refining Dragon Saintess answered truthfully.
She deliberately revealed this matter in public, intending to make Gu Sheng the target of everyone’s ire.
Gu Sheng might be unrivaled on the Holy Road, but upon entering the outside world, no matter how formidable he was, he could only dominate among the younger generation. When encountering a true strongman, he would still be as fragile as an ant.
The firm response from the Refining Dragon Saintess intensified the tension to its peak.
The expressions of the Tianlan Saint Master and Saint Mother shifted from joy to shock, then quickly to alertness. Within a few short breaths, their emotions fluctuated several times, their bodies tense, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Gu Sheng had stirred up a tempest in the Xinghong Spirit Domain.
Alone, he carried out mass slaughter within the Six Great Holy Lands, killing numerous disciples.
Such actions enraged the high ranks of the Six Great Holy Lands, their rage fully intending to dismember him.
The Tianlan Sacred Land, being the weakest among the Seven Great Sacred Lands, could only do its best to handle the impending crisis fueled by the Six Great Holy Lands’ wrath.
Most importantly, Gu Sheng had unexpectedly obtained the inheritance of the Holy Road Master. This inheritance was sufficient to drive a Holy Master-level expert to pursue it at all costs.
The Tianlan Sacred Land still had time to devise a countermeasure, but due to the matter involving the Goddess of the Purple Spirit Realm, both the Saint Master and Saint Mother had to personally set off, hastening to the scene.
This action placed the Tianlan Sacred Land in an extremely passive state. Upon learning of this situation, the Six Great Sacred Lands swiftly allied, turning their focus on Tianlan Sacred Land.
Unprepared, the Tianlan Sacred Land was about to face the combined assault of the Six Great Holy Masters; any slight misstep could lead to an irreparable disaster.
"How should we respond?" The Saint Mother’s voice trembled, lacking confidence, anxiously looking to the Saint Master.
The Saint Master spoke in a deep voice, "What else can we do? You take them and retreat immediately while I stay behind to cover!"
Gu Sheng acquiring the Holy Road Master’s inheritance brought both an opportunity and a crisis.
If he could be safely escorted back to Tianlan Sacred Land, they were likely to birth a powerful figure approaching the strength of the Holy Road Master, ushering unprecedented growth, even eyeing the top spot in the Xinghong Spirit Domain.
The Saint Master’s decision was a gamble; winning meant the holy land’s rise, losing meant total devastation.
The Saint Master’s choice surprised the Saint Mother immensely. She widened her eyes at the Saint Master, but soon calmed down, weighing the pros and cons. Considering Gu Sheng’s enormous potential and her growing fondness for him, the Saint Mother nodded in agreement: "You must take care of yourself."
