Chapter 1425: Chapter 735: Take Action (Part 2)

"I heard you want to form an alliance with me?"

The voice of the Heaven-Burning Saintess was icy and bone-chilling.

The Heaven-Reaching Saint Son opened his mouth with difficulty, but only spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Remember, if you dare to make a move on me again..."

The Heaven-Burning Saintess leaned down and whispered in his ear.

"Kill without mercy."

After speaking, she straightened up and looked around. Everywhere her gaze fell, everyone bowed their heads.

"Also, pass the word out."

Her voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone’s ears.

"No matter who it is, if they dare to propose marriage to Heaven-Burning Holy Land, I will personally hunt them down to the end!"

As her words fell, she transformed into a streak of firelight and soared into the sky, disappearing in an instant.

At dusk, Wanling Palace was bathed in a golden-red afterglow.

Gu Sheng sat cross-legged in the Quiet Room of his residence, surrounded by a faintly blue True Qi.

Suddenly, he frowned slightly, sensing someone had touched the restriction outside the courtyard.

"Is Young Master Gu here?"

A clear female voice came from outside the courtyard.

"The Sect Master has sent me to invite you to a banquet, a welcoming feast is set at Wanling Square to brush the dust off for you."

Gu Sheng slowly collected his energy and opened his eyes.

He stood up, tidied his robes, and pushed the door open.

Outside stood a female disciple dressed in the attire of Wanling Palace, who appeared to be in her early twenties, and her cultivation was around the Fourth Level of the Earth Martial Realm. Seeing him come out, she hurriedly saluted.

"Thank you, Senior Sister, for passing the message. I will go immediately."

Gu Sheng nodded slightly.

The female disciple respectfully stepped aside, waiting until Gu Sheng walked out the courtyard before following half a step behind him to lead the way.

Gu Sheng had only walked a few steps when he suddenly stopped, spoke without turning his head.

"Miss Xiao, since you’re here, why hide?"

After a moment of silence, a graceful figure flashed out from behind a fake mountain by the road.

Xiao Mengdie had changed into a light purple long dress today, with a silver ribbon tied around her waist, making her skin look like snow.

She wore an expression of surprise on her face, then her expression turned serious.

"Young Master Gu, you’re truly exceptional, to have actually detected my Concealing Technique."

Xiao Mengdie took a few steps forward and spoke in a lowered voice.

"I specifically waited here to tell you something important."

Gu Sheng gestured for the leading female disciple to wait and walked aside with Xiao Mengdie.

"What matter makes Miss Xiao so cautious?"

"I just received news from an informant placed by the Great Elder."

Xiao Mengdie’s eyes revealed worry.

"Zhao Qianhuan might make a move on you tonight. He previously had Zhao Lingqian test you, to figure out your strengths and find an opportunity to eliminate you."

Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow slightly.

"I am not acquainted with the Great Elder, why does he target me? Could it be because of that marriage agreement?"

Xiao Mengdie bit her lower lip.

"The exact reason is still unclear, but I’ve already informed my father to be more prepared. In any case, you must be careful tonight and it’s best not to act alone."

Gu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.

"Thank you, Miss Xiao, for the warning. In that case, how about we go to the banquet together?"

"I was thinking the same."

Xiao Mengdie breathed a sigh of relief, a faint smile reappearing on her face.

The two walked side by side and soon arrived at the square in front of the main hall of Wanling Palace.

At this moment, the square was festively decorated, with hundreds of redwood tables and chairs neatly arranged, each table adorned with exquisite Spirit Fruits and wine.

The most eye-catching were the eighteen large lanterns hanging mid-air, each made from Demon Beast Demon Cores, emitting a soft and bright light.

"What a grand gesture."

Gu Sheng admired softly.

Xiao Mengdie smiled subtly.

"My father always values etiquette, especially when welcoming such a distinguished guest like you."

As they spoke, a figure appeared before them.

Xiao Xuanze had changed into a dark gold robe today, a jade belt around his waist, looking both majestic and profound.

His gaze swept over Gu Sheng and Xiao Mengdie, a slight smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"Nephew Gu has arrived right on time."

Xiao Xuanze’s voice was deep.
