Chapter 1398: Chapter 723: Delivering the Message

"Where are the Lu Family people?"

"Replying to the Saint Heir, the brothers sent by the Lu Family have already set up an ambush on the outskirts, just waiting for Gu Sheng to appear..."

A disciple replied respectfully.

"Ambush?"

Shen Qingyun sneered coldly and suddenly struck a palm, sending the speaking disciple flying, crashing heavily against the mountain wall dozens of meters away.

"Saint Heir, please calm your anger!"

The other disciples were frightened and hurriedly knelt down.

"A bunch of fools!"

Shen Qingyun was furious beyond measure.

"Ambushing Gu Sheng outside the Secret Realm? Do you think our Great Wilderness Holy Academy and the Linyin Pavilion don’t have enough enmity?!"

One of his trusted aides dared to ask.

"Then, Saint Heir, what should we do next..."

Shen Qingyun suppressed the fury in his heart.

"Return to the Holy Academy first. This injury to my arm requires the Sect Master’s intervention for Limb Regeneration."

His eyes were filled with malicious intent.

"As for Gu Sheng... If he comes out alive, the Lu Family will deal with him. If he dies in the Secret Realm, it would be his luck!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Shen Qingyun took one last look at the now calm entrance to the Secret Realm, his eyes filled with even more venomous hatred.

He turned around and left, his empty sleeve fluttering in the wind like a banner of humiliation.

At the Emperor Sect’s mountain gate, clouds and mist swirled.

Ye Jianjia stumbled in with her white attire stained with blood, shocking the gatekeeping disciples.

"Senior Sister Ye! What’s...?"

"Move aside!"

Ye Jianjia couldn’t spare time to explain and rushed towards the Sect Master’s hall. Disciples along the way turned to look, seeing her hairpins scattered and the Jade Pendant at her waist shattered, evidence of a fierce battle.

"Sect Master!"

Ye Jianjia burst into the hall, her voice hoarse.

Long Yundao was discussing sect affairs with several elders, and looked up upon hearing her voice.

"Jianjia? Why have you returned alone? Where’s Gu Sheng?"

Ye Jianjia fell to her knees with a thump, her voice trembling.

"Disciple was incompetent... Senior Brother Gu... did not make it out of the Secret Realm."

"What?!"

Long Yundao suddenly stood up, causing the table to shatter.

In a flash, he was in front of Ye Jianjia, grabbing her wrist.

"Explain clearly!"

Ye Jianjia held back her tears and recounted in detail how they encountered Shen Qingyun, a disciple of the Great Wilderness Holy Academy’s Inner Courtyard in the Secret Realm, and how Gu Sheng fought against strong enemies to save her. By the end, her voice choked with emotion.

"We waited at the exit for three days as agreed, but no sign of Senior Brother Gu ever appeared..."

Long Yundao loosened his grip and turned his back, his expression uncertain.

His tightly clenched fists were hidden beneath his sleeves, veins bulging.

The hall was silent enough to hear a pin drop, as several elders exchanged glances. The Great Elder coughed softly.

"Sect Master, Gu Sheng is a blessed individual, perhaps..."

"Silence!"

Long Yundao shouted fiercely, his voice shaking the tiles.

He abruptly turned back, eyes seemingly burning with fury.

"I will go to the Secret Realm right away..."

Before finishing his words, he suddenly paused. Sunlight streaming through the windows highlighted his resolute face. The sound of the Emperor Sect’s banner flapping in the wind was clearly audible.

"No..."
