Chapter 1496: Chapter 771: The Situation Is Dire

"I am Nangong Yuexia."

Gu Sheng nodded, motioning for her to go on.

"The situation is bad."

Nangong Yuexia spoke very fast.

"It seems the Purple Mist Divine Sect’s Ancestor has sensed that the Sect Hierarch was replaced by Lord Xinglan. Many unfamiliar powerhouses have suddenly appeared at headquarters, their strength ranging from Sect Realm to King Realm, origins unknown."

Miao Muqing added.

"What’s more troublesome is that all the major Divine Sects of the Southern Border have been making strange moves recently, with their target aimed straight at the Purple Mist Divine Sect’s territory. I suspect... the Purple Mist Ancestor intends to trap us here completely."

A sharp light flashed in Gu Sheng’s eyes.

"Is there a back-up escape route?"

Miao Muqing drew an ancient-looking Jade Talisman from her sleeve. The talisman was covered with intricate patterns, faint spatial ripples emanating from it.

"An Ancient Great Shift Talisman, it can instantly teleport the people around the bearer ten thousand miles away. There is a Transmission Array at the destination, connecting to various places. As long as we act separately, the chances of escape are high."

She looked at Gu Sheng again.

"If you want to leave, I can arrange for someone to send you out of the city right now."

Miao Muqing’s tone was sincere.

"This upheaval is far more perilous than I imagined. Preserving yourself... is not an unreasonable choice."

Gu Sheng suddenly laughed, and that smile made Miao Muqing’s heart skip a beat.

"I don’t like owing favors."

Gu Sheng’s voice was very soft, yet every word was like iron.

"If what you say about your trump card is true, then this time is not completely devoid of vitality."

He walked to the window and gazed into the distance toward the Purple Mist Cave Heaven.

"With the Seventy-two Divine Sects all gathering in the Purple Mist Cave Heaven, while the situation is perilous, it also makes it easier for earth-shaking Heavenly Secrets to be born."

Miao Muqing’s pupils constricted slightly.

"You mean..."

"I’m staying."

Gu Sheng turned around, his black hair drifting though there was no wind.

"In the midst of chaos, the greatest Creation is often hidden."

The room fell utterly silent.

Nangong Yuexia and the two Death Soldiers stared at Gu Sheng in shock. They had never expected that in such a dangerous predicament, this young man would dare to face it head-on.

Miao Muqing stood at the window, moonlight streaming through the lattice and casting dappled shadows across her pale face.

Her slender fingers clenched tightly at her clothes, knuckles turning white from the force.

"Gu Sheng, if the Southern Emperor Lineage can weather this tribulation..."

Her voice trembled slightly, yet carried an unquestionable resolve.

"I, Miao Muqing, will personally offer you my apology."

Gu Sheng leaned back in his chair, his fingers lightly tapping the table, producing a rhythmic sound.

He raised his eyes to Miao Muqing, the corner of his mouth curling in a barely discernible smile.

"It’s too early to be saying that. Since we’ve chosen to live and die together, shouldn’t Miss Miao explain a few things?"

The candle flames flickered in the room, illuminating the grave expressions on both of their faces.

"What do you want to know?"

Miao Muqing turned to face Gu Sheng.

"Two questions."

Gu Sheng raised two fingers.

"First, why must the Southern Emperor Lineage enter the Purple Mist Cave Heaven? Second, your own situation."

Miao Muqing’s eyelashes trembled lightly, casting a shadow beneath her lids.

She was silent for a long time before finally speaking.

"Within the Creation Immortal Pool of the Purple Mist Cave Heaven... the Southern Emperor’s body is sealed."

Gu Sheng’s tapping fingers suddenly stopped, surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Back then, my mother was ambushed."
