The Seventh Elder nodded repeatedly alongside, agreeing: "That’s right, not only must he be handed over, but to guard against any unforeseen issues, his meridians should be severed, and his cultivation abolished, leaving him unable to resist." Their words were filled with murderous intent and decisiveness toward Gu Sheng.
Daoist Xiushan’s eyes were wide with anger, stepping forward, he pointed at the Second Elder and the Seventh Elder and loudly rebuked: "You two are utterly ridiculous! Gu Sheng has been kind to our Tianlan Sacred Land, yet you speak such cowardly and ungrateful words.
With great enemies upon us, instead of thinking to defend against them, you only contemplate sacrificing our own people—is there even a shred of responsibility as elders of the Sacred Land left in you?"
While everyone argued incessantly, a mighty and unparalleled heavenly might descended upon the skies above Tianlan Sacred Land.
This majestic force contained an endless oppressive aura, freezing the air across all of Tianlan Sacred Land.
The Sect Protection Array of Tianlan Sacred Land rapidly activated under this heavenly power’s impact, emitting a dazzling radiance that enveloped the entire Sacred Land, attempting to resist this formidable external force.
Outside the Elder Hall, the sound of urgent footsteps echoed. Wang Feng’s father, Wang Zhu, charged in recklessly.
His eyes were red, face wild with despair, and as soon as he entered the hall, he screamed hysterically, "Tianlan Saint Master, it’s all because of Gu Sheng, he’s killed my son.
The wrath of the Supreme Immortal Sect is approaching; if we kill him and hand him over to the Supreme Immortal Sect, then we can protect Tianlan Sacred Land. Saint Master, you must avenge my son, kill Gu Sheng!"
Tianlan Saint Master’s face was somber, and he shouted: "Silence, all of you!" This command quelled the disputes within the hall.
His gaze was sharp as it swept over everyone, speaking in a deep voice: "With such formidable enemies at hand, we need to unite efforts to fend off the external foes. Anyone who dares speak nonsense and disrupt morale will not escape my wrath!"
The powerful aura was not only subduing the strong within the Elder Hall but also quieted the disciples throughout Tianlan Sacred Land, none daring to make any move.
Bixuan once again turned his gaze to the Tianxuan Divine Girl, asking with concern: "Divine Lady, what should we do about this situation?"
The Tianxuan Divine Girl sighed slightly, saying: "Gu Sheng has been kind to me, so I must help him this time. However, after this, his fate will be left to destiny. My father will not step forward for Gu Sheng, and I don’t have sufficient reasons to shield Tianlan Sacred Land from this disaster."
Gu Sheng stood in place, feeling the Immortal King aura pouring in from afar. This powerful oppressive sensation made his breathing difficult, nearly suffocating him.
Despair surged in his heart as he thought, "Must it truly be today that I meet my end here?" The power of the Immortal King before him was not something he could contend with.
The Tianxuan Divine Girl calmly stated: "On this occasion, I’ll represent Tianlan Sacred Land."
Gu Sheng looked at the Tianxuan Divine Girl; though willing to assist, it’s only this single time. Afterward, it would be a matter of life or death by fate, and everything would rely solely on himself.
The Tianlan Saint Master arrived swiftly with a group of elders, their faces full of gratitude, bowing deeply to the Tianxuan Divine Girl, thanking her profusely.
But when their gaze fell upon Gu Sheng, resentment was apparent. The Tianlan Saint Master thought inwardly that if it weren’t for this young man, how could Tianlan Sacred Land be facing such a catastrophic disaster?
He exchanged looks with the other elders, and they tacitly agreed that as long as they could weather this crisis, they would expel Gu Sheng from Tianlan Sacred Land entirely severing ties, to avoid further retribution from the Supreme Immortal Sect.
Daoist Xiushan walked over to Gu Sheng, speaking solemnly: "Gu Sheng, listen to my advice, leave Tianlan Sacred Land. Even with the Tianxuan Divine Girl stepping in, this situation is perilous in every aspect."
Gu Sheng shook his head and said: "I cannot leave. If I go, Tianlan Sacred Land will undoubtedly face even greater disasters because of me. How can I abandon the Sacred Land for my own safety?"
Daoist Xiushan sighed helplessly, knowing he couldn’t persuade Gu Sheng, he had to give up the thought of forcibly taking him away.
Daoist Tianji carried a sense of powerlessness on his face. The Supreme Immortal Sect’s strength far outmatched Tianlan Sacred Land’s.
Xinghong Spirit Domain had not seen an Immortal King of such terrifying presence for quite some time, yet the Supreme Immortal Sect dispatched an Immortal King so effortlessly for revenge for the Qiankun Venerate King, enough to illustrate the vast disparity in strength between the two sides.
Gu Sheng suppressed the fear in his heart. Resolute, he pondered that his sole hope rested on the Tianxuan Divine Girl.
