Meanwhile, the real Gu Sheng was swiftly darting through the mountain forest, carrying Xie Qingxuan in his arms.
Sweat beads glistened on his forehead, and the Nine Great Cave Heavens within him were operating frantically, leaving deep cracks in the ground with every step he took.
"Gu... Young Master Gu..."
Xie Qingxuan spoke weakly, her pale face full of guilt.
"Put me down... I’m only a burden to you..."
Gu Sheng furrowed his brows tightly, not answering, only holding the person in his arms more securely.
"Really..."
Xie Qingxuan struggled to lift her head, tears in her eyes.
"Your Split Body Technique can’t deceive those Sect Realm experts for long... If you let me go, you’ll have a chance..."
"Shut up!"
Gu Sheng hissed softly, yet his voice was unusually gentle.
"I, Gu Sheng, have never left things half done."
Xie Qingxuan’s eyes glistened with tears as she trembled, taking out a jade box from her bosom.
"This is... Spirit Flame Immortal Grass... If you get a chance to escape... please take it to the Xie Family..."
Gu Sheng kept moving, glancing at the exquisite jade box, a warm current flooding his heart like never before.
In this cultivation world where the strong prey on the weak, there’s actually someone willing to sacrifice for others...
"Foolish girl."
He sighed softly.
"Since I brought you out, I will definitely send you back safely."
Xie Qingxuan wanted to say something more, but her expression suddenly changed.
"They’re catching up!"
Gu Sheng’s Divine Sense swept over, indeed sensing several powerful auras rapidly approaching.
The two leading auras were especially terrifying; they were none other than the two Sect Realm elders of the Divine Blood Sect!
"Close your eyes."
Gu Sheng suddenly said.
"What?"
Xie Qingxuan was taken aback.
"Trust me, close your eyes."
Gu Sheng’s voice was steady, carrying an undeniable power.
Though puzzled, Xie Qingxuan obediently closed her eyes.
In the next moment, she felt the world spin, and when she opened her eyes, she found herself inside a vast and unfamiliar Bronze Hall.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine steps stretched upwards, ending at a gigantic bronze throne emanating an ancient and imposing aura.
The entire space was silent, with only her own breathing echoing.
"Where is this..."
Xie Qingxuan gazed around in shock.
"Wait here."
Gu Sheng’s shadow flickered past her.
"Once it’s safe, I’ll release you."
"Young Master Gu!"
Xie Qingxuan’s eyes turned red, reaching out to grasp the shadow about to vanish.
"You..."
The shadow had already disappeared, leaving her standing alone in the vast hall.
Outside, Gu Sheng’s figure suddenly blurred for a moment in everyone’s eyes, then became clear again.
At the front, Xue Wuya’s eyes were filled with doubt, but were quickly replaced by a ferocious look.
"Little brat, can’t run anymore, can you?"
Xue Wuya sneered coldly, striking out with a Handprint from afar.
