Kunpeng Taoist was surprised by Gu Sheng's words. However, with his life at stake, he had no choice. He forced his frail body to move, step by step, towards the unconscious Murong Qingcheng.
His steps were unsteady, each one seeming to exhaust all his strength.
Gu Sheng stood by, as if it had nothing to do with him. He just silently watched Kunpeng Taoist struggle forward.
The disciples of Tianlan Sacred Land also stopped their pursuit actions, all neatly turning their gaze towards Murong Qingcheng.
For the Holy Daughter of Tianlan Sacred Land, they had mixed feelings. Many once had a good impression of her, but her actions within the Sacred Land were truly unforgivable.
"If Brother Xiao personally acts to kill her, it might cause a lot of trouble. Letting Kunpeng Taoist do it instead is not a bad idea."
Luo Jun said with a smile. Murong Qingcheng ended up like this, entirely due to her own fault.
The surrounding disciples nodded, all filled with righteous indignation, not a single one feeling any sympathy for Murong Qingcheng.
Only Gongsun Yue always thought of ending Murong Qingcheng herself.
As Kunpeng Taoist moved step by step towards Murong Qingcheng, the disciples of the other Sacred Lands were not idle either.
They seized this moment, cautiously sneaking towards the exit of the Immortal Temple. Qiankun Venerate King had already been defeated, and Kunpeng Taoist was forced into a desperate situation by Gu Sheng. They couldn't think of anything else but to flee quickly.
Kunpeng Taoist finally reached Murong Qingcheng's side. He extended a hand, lifting Murong Qingcheng off the ground. Muttering under his breath, he began to circulate his mental method, gathering his Spiritual Power, and injecting it into Murong Qingcheng in hopes of waking her.
Just when everyone thought everything would proceed as expected, a sudden change occurred.
The previously unconscious Murong Qingcheng suddenly opened her eyes. Her right hand, at some unknown point, gripped a small, fiery red dagger exuding a faint Mystic Fire. She stabbed the dagger fiercely into Kunpeng Taoist's stomach.
Kunpeng Taoist let out a cry of pain, his anger bursting. Without thinking, he punched Murong Qingcheng's face.
The punch was incredibly powerful, disfiguring Murong Qingcheng's previously stunning face, causing it to swell terribly.
Yet Kunpeng Taoist's fury didn't subside. He rained down more punches, venting all his anger on Murong Qingcheng.
Murong Qingcheng was beaten to the point of barely breathing, her life hanging by a thread, but even so, a smile still hung at the corner of her mouth.
With one hand covering his bleeding stomach, Kunpeng Taoist grabbed Murong Qingcheng's arm with the other, forcefully tossing her towards Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng, watching this farce from the side, was satisfied seeing Murong Qingcheng and Kunpeng Taoist both hurt each other.
But his eyelid twitched, an inexplicable unease rising in his heart.
Instinctively, he looked towards where Kunpeng Taoist was, but his view was blocked by the flying Murong Qingcheng.
He hurriedly released his consciousness, trying to sense the surroundings. Quickly, he detected a chaotic ancient aura violently stirring in Kunpeng Taoist's area.
Before everyone could react, a cry of alarm came from another place.
Gu Sheng turned his head quickly, his eyes filled with killing intent. Kunpeng Taoist had somehow appeared in another area, and Luo Jun, Zhan Yongchang, and Shou Chengyun had already fallen to the ground, their bodies uncontrollably convulsing.
They had all been ambushed by Kunpeng Taoist's Soul Power, their Sea of Consciousness severely damaged. Kunpeng Taoist still tightly grasped Gongsun Yue.
"Let her go!"
Gu Sheng was both shocked and angry. He never imagined Kunpeng Taoist still had such means, able to suddenly explode with such incredible speed.
"Heh, did you really think I'd be so stupid as to believe you would spare me?"
Kunpeng Taoist sneered.
He had already discerned from Gu Sheng's actions against Murong Qingcheng that Gu Sheng was by no means kind-hearted but a vengeful and ruthless character. Only by grabbing Gongsun Yue could he have leverage for negotiation with Gu Sheng and a chance of escape.
"Let me go, or I'll break her neck!"
