Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1203: Chapter 625: Courting Disaster (Part 2)

The Tianxuan Divine Girl showed no fear, staring back coldly and declaring, "Qiankun Venerate King, this is the Tianlan Sacred Land. Today, I absolutely won’t let you kill anyone here!"

Taiyi Immortal King said in a deep voice, "Tianxuan Divine Girl, I am here today only to kill one person on behalf of Qiankun Venerate King, it has nothing to do with you, so please do not interfere."

The Tianxuan Divine Girl raised her delicate eyebrows and resolutely stated, "Taiyi Immortal King, Tianlan Sacred Land has shown me a great favor. No one can act recklessly here, and killing is absolutely not permissible!"

Qiankun Venerate King laughed in anger, "Hahaha! Tianxuan Divine Girl, who do you think you are? Do you think you alone can stop me from killing my enemy? Let alone killing several people, even if I were to destroy this Tianlan Sacred Land, the Purple Spirit Realm Master wouldn’t step in for such a trivial matter!"

Tianxuan Divine Girl’s heart sank; she knew all too well that Qiankun Venerate King was likely telling the truth. The Purple Spirit Realm Master was often too busy to intervene in small matters like those concerning Tianlan Sacred Land, unless serious harm was inflicted by Taiyi Immortal King or Qiankun Venerate King.

The surrounding people gradually realized this too, and a wave of fear spread among them. Some, who were more timid, had already begun to secretly flee the Tianlan Sacred Land.

Bixuan stood beside Tianxuan Divine Girl, watching the situation gradually spiral out of control, feeling anxious and uneasy. She gently tugged at Tianxuan Divine Girl’s sleeve and whispered, "Tianxuan Divine Girl, what should we do? They... they are too powerful."

Tianxuan Divine Girl gave Bixuan a reassuring look and softly replied, "Don’t panic, I am already prepared."

Tianxuan Divine Girl loudly announced, "Everyone listen, Gu Sheng is my fiancé and the future son-in-law of the Purple Spirit Realm Master!" This announcement caused an uproar among the crowd. Everyone looked at Tianxuan Divine Girl and Gu Sheng in shock and disbelief.

Taiyi Immortal King and Qiankun Venerate King were also stunned, clearly not expecting Tianxuan Divine Girl to make such a declaration.

Qiankun Venerate King trembled with rage, he had always regarded Tianxuan Divine Girl as his possession, and believed she would inevitably become his Dao partner. But now, hearing that she was the fiancée of his greatest enemy, how could he accept it?

Upon hearing Tianxuan Divine Girl claim Gu Sheng as her fiancé, Qiankun Venerate King became flushed with agitation, veins bulging on his neck, resembling a wrathful beast ready to devour anyone.

His bloodshot eyes locked onto the Tianxuan Divine Girl, as if trying to catch any sign of deceit on her face.

Tianxuan Divine Girl remained calm and tranquil, even gently clasping Gu Sheng’s arm, a gesture intimate and natural, further agitating Qiankun Venerate King.

Among the crowd, gasps filled the air, with many gazing enviously at Gu Sheng. The Tianxuan Divine Girl held a prestigious status, unmatched in Purple Spirit Realm, possessing an unparalleled beauty and demeanor that no one in the Cultivation World could rival.

She called Gu Sheng, an ordinary cultivator from Xinghong Spirit Domain, her fiancé, which couldn’t help but cause both shock and jealousy.

Gu Sheng felt slightly embarrassed by the Tianxuan Divine Girl’s sudden move, his body stiffening slightly. But his focus quickly returned to the mystical chest he was attempting to unlock.

The chest radiated a mysterious aura, its seal complex and profound. His master must have placed such a powerful seal with significant purpose, maybe it held surprises concerning his destiny, or even the entire Xinghong Spirit Domain.

He quickly formed seals with his hands, streams of spiritual power continuously injected into the chest, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead unnoticed.

Qiankun Venerate King had an intelligent mind, soon he managed to suppress his fury and regain composure.

He spoke with a hint of mockery, "Tianxuan Divine Girl, you stand as the exalted goddess of Purple Spirit Realm while Gu Sheng is merely an ordinary cultivator from Xinghong Spirit Domain; the disparity between you two is vast, how could there be a marriage agreement? Such a claim is utterly ridiculous."

Tianxuan Divine Girl remained unperturbed, her beautiful eyes flowing gracefully. She softly explained, "Thirteen years ago, I went to practice at Xinghong Spirit Domain, and at that time, I was hunted by a young flood dragon, my life hanging by a thread, nearly facing death.

At the critical moment, it was Gu Sheng’s master who saved me. To repay this life-saving grace and to establish a good relationship between the two realms, my master arranged a marriage agreement with Gu Sheng. This matter stirred quite a sensation in the Purple Spirit Realm, I believe Qiankun Venerate King and Taiyi Immortal King are well aware of it."

Qiankun Venerate King and Taiyi Immortal King changed their expressions dramatically, sinking into silence.

Indeed, they had heard that thirteen years ago, Tianxuan Divine Girl encountered crisis during her lower realm practice, leading to the annihilation of the flood dragon clan by the enraged Purple Spirit Realm Master. If there really was such a marriage agreement, it could indeed make sense. The more Qiankun Venerate King thought, the more his expression darkened.

He felt agonized internally; the woman he loved the most had a marriage agreement with the person he hated most, it was the cruelest mockery by fate, leaving him almost suffocated with the emotional blow.

Taiyi Immortal King also faced a dilemma. He pondered that if Gu Sheng was truly as Tianxuan Divine Girl said, her fiancé, he would be the future son-in-law of the Purple Spirit Realm Master.

Although he held the high rank of Immortal King, if he rashly attacked Gu Sheng, it would undoubtedly anger the Purple Spirit Realm Master, and when the Purple Spirit Realm fully mobilizes, his own forces may have difficulty resisting. Thinking this, hesitation filled his eyes.

Taiyi Immortal King discreetly communicated to Qiankun Venerate King, his tone cautious, "Qiankun brother, there might be more to this matter, we should return first, understand the situation clearly before deciding, acting rashly may bring catastrophe."

Qiankun Venerate King, however, was blinded by fury, responding firmly, "No way! This Gu Sheng has thwarted my plans multiple times, today, even if he is truly the Purple Spirit Realm Master’s son-in-law, I will make him pay the price!"

Taiyi Immortal King felt increasingly troubled, with a pained expression he said, "Qiankun brother, if he truly is the future son-in-law of the Purple Spirit Realm Master, how could we dare act? Won’t that bring trouble upon ourselves?"

Bixuan had been carefully observing the reactions of Qiankun Venerate King and Taiyi Immortal King. Seeing their hesitance, she speculated in her heart that perhaps they wouldn’t dare act against Gu Sheng. Observing Tianxuan Divine Girl’s confident demeanor, she also surmised that they wouldn’t act recklessly.

Bixuan, having another view of Gu Sheng, thought that he seemed ordinary, yet he had such connections with Purple Spirit Realm’s goddess, proving he was not simple. Tianxuan Divine Girl looked at Gu Sheng with regret.

Gu Sheng, meanwhile, remained fully focused on breaking the chest’s seal, seemingly oblivious to the surrounding commotion.

The Second Elder and Seventh Elder were filled with unwillingness. They watched Gu Sheng under Tianxuan Divine Girl’s protection and seemed to be about to escape danger, which they couldn’t accept. The Second Elder strained his mind for a method to break the stalemate.

As if struck with an idea, he urgently asked the Seventh Elder, "Seventh brother, do you know where that kid Wang Zhu is?"

The Seventh Elder was slightly startled, then quickly realized, an insidious smile appeared on his face, "Don’t worry, second brother, I’ve had people positioned to watch him, he’s nearby."

The Second Elder also showed a strange smile, seemingly seeing hope to reverse the situation.

With the final flow of spiritual power injected, the light from the chest’s seal gradually dimmed, on the verge of completely disappearing. An unexpected event occurred!

"Gu Sheng has been acting too arrogantly lately, repeatedly sabotaging our affairs. If we don’t act now, he will certainly become a major threat in the future!" Qiankun Venerate King angrily fixed his gaze on Taiyi Immortal King.

Taiyi Immortal King snorted coldly, waved his sleeve, speaking calmly, "Venerate King, do not be hasty; it seems Gu Sheng might have mysterious forces supporting him. Acting rashly might provoke trouble."

The Holy Master of Tianlan Sacred Land and the elders sat on both sides, their expressions varied.

Gu Sheng focused entirely in the side hall, concentrating on the mystical chest before him. Though it appeared ordinary, it was indeed shrouded in layers of elusive seals and enchantment.

Gu Sheng’s hands rapidly formed seals, streams of spiritual power flowed from his palms, striving hard to breach the seals. He had expended a great deal of energy.
