Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1200 624: Safety and Danger

In the hall, the Second Elder strode back and forth anxiously before halting abruptly and proclaiming loudly, "The only solution now is to hand over Gu Sheng to the Supreme Immortal Sect to express our apology. Perhaps this might invoke their great mercy to spare our Tianlan Sacred Land."

The Seventh Elder chimed in agreement, "Indeed, Gu Sheng may have potential, but compared to the survival of our Tianlan Sacred Land, it's not worth mentioning."

By the window in a side hall, Gu Sheng gazed at that fearsome aura, a bitter smile of resignation forming on his lips.

Nothing more than a cultivator blessed with a few lucky breaks, he was nonetheless prized highly by many factions, hurled into the storm's center, and made the decisive factor in Tianlan Sacred Land's destiny. But was this truly his desire?

As the arguments raged on without end, Tianxuan Divine Girl's icy voice echoed through the hall, "Gu Sheng, where is your master?"

With desolation in his tone, Gu Sheng responded, "My master has already passed away."

Tianxuan Divine Girl stated, "In past years, your master and I had some connection, and he left behind a marriage certificate."

All had believed Gu Sheng was not Tianxuan Divine Girl's fiancé, yet this sudden revelation promised a potential shift in the entire crisis.

Shaking with urgency, Daoist Xiushan pressed, "Gu Sheng, quickly! Check the marriage certificate; it might be the lifeline for our Tianlan Sacred Land!"

Gu Sheng steadied the storm within him and pulled a large box from his Void Ring.

All crowded around with keen curiosity.

Gently, Gu Sheng lifted the lid of the box, revealing four to fifty marriage certificates arranged neatly inside, some papers faded and yellowed, others crisp and new, each pulsing with its own distinct aura.

Gongsun Yue stared at the box overflowing with marriage certificates, anxiety rising over how it might impact her connection with Gu Sheng.

Sensing Gongsun Yue's distress, Tianlan Saint Mother reassured her, "Yue, don't worry. Regardless of how these marriage certificates in the box turn out, your marriage certificate with Gu Sheng must be signed, for it's the only way to resolve this disaster for our Tianlan Sacred Land."

Gu Sheng meticulously combed through the stack of marriage certificates, hunting for Tianxuan Divine Girl's. Every one he lifted underwent close scrutiny of its handwriting and runes.

Tianxuan Divine Girl Luo Xi remained silent nearby, her intentions impossible to read.

The Second Elder muttered under his breath, "With so many marriage certificates, Tianxuan Divine Girl must be extremely dissatisfied with Gu Sheng's behavior. Even if the marriage certificate is found, I doubt it; Gu Sheng is likely to be divorced on the spot."

Daoist Xiushan shot a venomous glare at the Second Elder and hissed sharply, "Shut your crow's mouth. Our only hope is that Gu Sheng truly is Tianxuan Divine Girl's fiancé; otherwise, we all will not survive."

Bixuan, positioned beside Tianxuan Divine Girl Luo Xi, could barely hold back her inquisitiveness. She turned a bit and whispered softly to Tianxuan Divine Girl, "Divine Lady, do you think Gu Sheng can find the Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate with you? What do you think of him?"

Tianxuan Divine Girl Luo Xi lifted her gaze faintly, her eyes gliding calmly over the absorbed Gu Sheng, her voice detached, "This person barely meets some of my requirements." Her frosty demeanor shrouded any hint of her real sentiments.

A subtle smile played on Bixuan's lips as she extolled, "Divine Lady, you might not know, but this Gu Sheng shone brightly on the Holy Road. He passed barriers and gained powerful inheritance.

In my opinion, in this Xinghong Spirit Domain, he is a rare talent." She glanced toward Tianxuan Divine Girl, as if waiting for her reply.

Tianxuan Divine Girl responded with a faint "Mm," offering nothing further. Her gaze lingered steadily on Gu Sheng, seemingly immersed in thoughts far beyond the moment.

Gu Sheng devoted his full attention to locating the marriage certificate, his fingers swiftly turning through them, inspecting every detail without missing a thing.

He examined them one by one, but none carried the name "Luo Xi." His brows knit tighter, sweat dotted his brow, and with a resigned shake of his head, disappointment and despair evident, he murmured softly, "No, I didn't find Luo Xi's marriage certificate."

Daoist Xiushan and Daoist Tianji, brimming with hope at first, saw their faces darken at Gu Sheng's declaration and hurriedly bent closer.

Daoist Xiushan demanded frantically, "Are you sure? Truly didn't find it?"

Gu Sheng nodded once more in resignation, delivering the crushing confirmation to the group.

In an instant, the hall burst into uproar; the hopes everyone clung to were utterly crushed, overtaken by profound despair.

A surge of confusion also flooded Gu Sheng's heart; he had believed himself to be Tianxuan Divine Girl's fiancé, yet this outcome snuffed out his dreams.

Bixuan felt the same shock; she was utterly convinced Gu Sheng would locate the marriage certificate, certain of the fated connection between Gu Sheng and Tianxuan Divine Girl, viewing the discovery as inevitable.

Yet reality dashed her hopes, and she whispered to herself, "How could this happen? I originally thought..."

Tianxuan Divine Girl Luo Xi harbored a silent disappointment in her heart as well.

She had eagerly hoped Gu Sheng was her fiancé; if true, she would gladly and fully honor the marriage contract. His arrival had once ignited a vision of perfect resolution in this turbulent world.

But now, those dreams popped like bubbles; her exceptional insight made it hard to find another man in the Xinghong Spirit Domain who could truly captivate her.

Realizing Gu Sheng was not Tianxuan Divine Girl's fiancé, the Second Elder and Seventh Elder shared a knowing look, malice flickering in their eyes.

The Second Elder spoke first, his tone piercing and pressing, "Since Gu Sheng is not the Divine Girl's fiancé, keeping him here invites disaster. In my opinion, we should seize him and deliver him to the Supreme Immortal Sect; it might just appease their wrath."
