Chapter 1533: Chapter 789: Eerie Silence (Part 2)

Gu Sheng turned around, the iciness in his eyes had faded, reverting to his usual gentle demeanor.

"Xueli, did I scare you?"

Tantai Xueling bit her lip, tears welled up in her eyes.

"You...will you still kill people?"

Gu Sheng was silent for a moment, then spoke softly.

"Some people must pay the price."

Tantai Bingtang stepped forward, meeting Gu Sheng’s gaze.

"What grudge is there between Beichen Sect and Wanliu Sect?"

Gu Sheng looked into the distance, his voice somber.

"Twenty years ago, Wanliu Sect collaborated with the Seven Great Sects to bloodbath Beichen Sect, killing all three thousand people within, just to seize the ’Beichen Heavenly Scripture’. My parents died defending the sect, and I...am the only survivor."

Xie Qingxuan gasped.

"So today..."

"Today is just the beginning."

A cold light flashed in Gu Sheng’s eyes.

"The Seven Great Sects still remain, blood debts must be repaid in blood."

Tantai Bingtang’s expression turned complicated.

"Do you intend..."

"You don’t need to get involved."

Gu Sheng interrupted her.

"The path ahead, I’ll walk alone."

"No!"

Tantai Xueling suddenly lunged forward and hugged Gu Sheng’s arm.

"I’m not letting you go alone!"

Gu Sheng was stunned, looking down at the timid little girl.

Tantai Bingtang sighed.

"Xueli is right, we won’t leave you."

Xie Qingxuan stood with her arms crossed, a slight smile at her lips.

"I have nowhere else to go anyway, might as well tag along to see the spectacle."

Gu Sheng looked at the three’s determined eyes, feeling as if something touched his cold heart.

He gently nodded.

"Fine, but the path ahead will be dangerous."

They proceeded in silence to Linyin Pavilion; the sound of footsteps echoed across the bluestone, but no one spoke.

Gu Sheng walked ahead, his black robe billowing without wind, surrounded by a suffocating chill.

Tantai Bingtang followed three steps behind, her cold eyes occasionally glancing at Gu Sheng’s upright figure, with bewilderment in her gaze.

"What’s wrong with this guy..."

Tantai Bingtang questioned inwardly.

She had never seen Gu Sheng in such a state...not angry, not sad, but a eerily calmness that was like the dead silence before a storm.

Tantai Xueling couldn’t help but quicken her pace, tugging at her sister’s sleeve.

"Sis, Gu..."

"Silence."

Tantai Bingtang gently shook her head, signaling her sister with her eyes not to ask more.

She could sense that Gu Sheng was like a suppressed volcano, ready to erupt at any moment.

Passing through the main hall of Linyin Pavilion, they descended a spiral stone staircase.

The deeper they went, the colder and damper the air became, the luminous pearls on the walls casting a bleak glow.

Xie Qingxuan walked at the end, her hands tightly gripping her sleeves, knuckles white.

She felt like something terrifying was about to be revealed.

"We’re here."

Gu Sheng finally spoke, his voice hoarse and unlike his own.

Tantai Bingtang rushed forward, her hands making sealing gestures, channels of spiritual power shot into the surrounding walls.

Suddenly, complex array patterns lit up, enveloping the entire underground space.

"Can you tell us now?"

Tantai Xueling couldn’t help asking, unable to bear such a stifling atmosphere.

"What has happened?"

Gu Sheng didn’t immediately answer, but instead turned to look at Xie Qingxuan trembling in the corner.

In his gaze, there was...pity?

"Miss Xie."

Gu Sheng said softly.

"I have brought all the Xie Family people here."

Xie Qingxuan trembled, disbelief surfacing in her eyes.

"Gu, Young Master Gu...what do you mean?"

Gu Sheng raised his right hand, a dark light flickered from the storage ring.

The next moment, dozens of figures appeared out of nowhere in the center of the hall, neatly arranged, yet completely motionless.

"Father! Mother!"

Xie Qingxuan screamed, rushing toward the two corpses at the front.

When she saw the ghastly white faces of her relatives and the blood pattern on their foreheads, she was struck as if by lightning, collapsing to the floor.
