"Mu Xue, did your sister ever tell you what we should do if... if something unexpected happens?"
Gu Sheng cautiously asked, not wanting to frighten the little girl.
Mu Xue bit her lip and pulled out an ancient talisman from her bosom.
"Sister gave me the Ancient Great Shift Talisman and said that if she... if something happened to her, I should take it and leave with you. She has set up precautions outside."
Gu Sheng took the talisman and felt the immense power of space contained within it.
He recalled his agreement with Miao Muqing... After helping the Southern Emperor’s residual soul rekindle, he could leave.
Now that the Southern Emperor had awakened and was fighting with the ancestors of the Seventy-two Divine Sects, it was indeed not a situation he could intervene in.
"What about the others?"
Gu Sheng asked.
"Did your sister prepare a contingency plan for them?"
Mu Xue shook her head, tears welling up in her big eyes.
"Sister said... they are all prepared to die for the Southern Emperor Lineage. Only because I’m young did she..."
Gu Sheng remained silent.
He understood their choice; in the Cultivation World, some beliefs were more important than life.
But now, he must ensure Mu Xue’s safety.
"Let’s go."
Gu Sheng stood up, taking Mu Xue’s small hand.
"Prepare the Ancient Great Shift Talisman, I’ll take you out of here."
Mu Xue nodded and took out an ancient ring from the Storage Ring, handing it to Gu Sheng.
"This is the Southern Emperor’s Hidden Treasure. Sister said if she falls and you’re willing to protect me when leaving, give this to you."
Upon hearing the girl’s words, Gu Sheng’s pupils slightly contracted, then his lips curled into a knowing smile.
"So that’s how it is... Senior Sister Miao truly left no stone unturned."
He gently stroked his chin, his gaze landing on the Storage Ring in the girl’s hand.
The ancient ring glimmered faintly with a purple light in the dim light, a unique mark of the Southern Emperor Lineage.
The girl’s slender fingers tightened, clutching the Storage Ring in her palm.
"Mu Qing said the contents of this ring are enough to tempt any King Realm expert."
Gu Sheng laughed lightly, his eyes showing admiration.
"Was she worried I’d abandon you halfway?"
He shook his head.
"Alright, keep it with you for now, give it to me when you’re safe."
The girl’s tense expression slightly relaxed as she pulled out a silver-glowing ancient talisman from her bosom, its surface densely engraved with space runes.
"The Ancient Great Shift Talisman?"
A gleam flashed in Gu Sheng’s eyes.
"No wonder Senior Sister Miao dared let you come alone."
"This is one of the last three taken from the Southern Emperor’s hidden treasure by Sister Muqing."
The girl.
"It can ignore the Secret Realm’s restrictions and directly teleport to a preset location."
Gu Sheng nodded, saying no more.
The girl pressed the talisman to her palm, muttering under her breath.
As the spell was completed, the runes on the talisman lit up one by one, and the silver light flowed like water, quickly enveloping them both.
"Hold tight!"
