"This barrier is truly bizarre. Despite trying countless methods, I still can’t shatter it." Anxiety gripped Gu Sheng, yet his hands kept working without pause.
As Gu Sheng desperately pondered ways to crack the barrier, chaos erupted outside the Elder Hall.
"Who dares to trespass into the Elder Hall?" The guards bellowed in rage, soon accompanied by the clamor of combat. In an instant, before anyone could respond, a silhouette smashed open the hall doors and barreled inside.
It was Wang Zhu, his hair in wild disarray, garments ripped, his expression blending insanity with glee. He clutched a woman in his grip—Gu Yu. Terror filled Gu Yu as she thrashed wildly, but Wang Zhu’s iron hold kept her pinned.
"Wang Zhu, what is the meaning of this?" The Holy Master of Tianlan Sacred Land rose to his feet, his voice thundering with fury.
Ignoring the words completely, Wang Zhu strode straight into the hall, his eyes scanning the assembly before fixing on Gu Sheng.
"Gu Sheng, today marks your doom!"
Witnessing his sister captive in Wang Zhu’s clutches, Gu Sheng’s eyes blazed crimson as he roared, "Wang Zhu, release her! Harm her in the slightest, and I’ll ensure you have no grave to claim!" Without a second thought, he lunged toward Wang Zhu.
Gongsun Yue and the Tianlan Saint Mother sprang into action at once.
Gongsun Yue slashed with her longsword, unleashing a streak of Sword Qi at Wang Zhu.
The Tianlan Saint Mother pressed her palms together, murmuring incantations, as a soft glow wrapped around Gu Yu, seeking to pry her free from Wang Zhu’s grasp.
Wang Zhu was ready for it all. He nimbly evaded Gongsun Yue’s Sword Qi while surging Spiritual Power to repel the Tianlan Saint Mother’s radiance.
"Think you can rescue her so easily?"
A chilling sneer twisted Wang Zhu’s face as he squeezed harder, drawing a pained scream from Gu Yu.
"Wang Zhu, what do you truly seek?" Qiankun Venerate King demanded.
Even with his own resentment toward Gu Sheng, Wang Zhu’s bold move left Qiankun Venerate King puzzled.
Wang Zhu let out a wicked laugh, his features radiating venom.
"Qiankun Venerate King, Taiyi Immortal King, this Gu Sheng isn’t the Tianxuan Divine Girl’s fiancé at all! He’s tricked you from the start!"
Thrusting Gu Yu ahead, he declared, "Today, I’ll use her to crush Gu Sheng and expose his real face to you!"
Qiankun Venerate King and Taiyi Immortal King’s faces darkened at Wang Zhu’s revelation.
Qiankun Venerate King leaped up in agitation, yelling, "Wang Zhu, is this the truth? Deceive me, and you won’t slip away lightly!"
Taiyi Immortal King’s gaze turned piercing, brimming with doubt and murderous intent toward Gu Sheng.
"Gu Sheng, you’d better explain yourself properly, or this day seals your fate!"
Gu Sheng strained to reach Gu Yu, proclaiming loudly, "Esteemed seniors, ignore his lies! My betrothal to the Tianxuan Divine Girl is utterly genuine!"
Wang Zhu refused to let Gu Sheng speak further.
Seizing Gu Yu once more, he addressed Qiankun Venerate King, "Venerate King, handle Gu Sheng, and this girl is yours to do with as you please!"
Qiankun Venerate King wavered briefly before replying, "Very well! Wang Zhu, if your words hold true, I won’t let you go unrewarded!"
Glancing at Taiyi Immortal King, he urged, "Immortal King, let’s subdue this Gu Sheng side by side!"
Immortal power roiled around Taiyi Immortal King, poised to strike.
Despair clawed at Gu Sheng’s heart, but he refused to yield. Mastering his rage, he dashed at Wang Zhu once again. "Wang Zhu, release my sister!"
Daoist Xiushan, observing from nearby, could no longer stand by as Gu Sheng faced peril.
"Cease this outrage!" he bellowed, flicking his horsetail whisk to hurl potent Spiritual Power at Wang Zhu.
Wang Zhu’s lips curled in a cold smirk, unhurried. He agilely avoided Daoist Xiushan’s assault while intoning a spell on the move.
From his palm burst a dark gleam, clashing directly with Daoist Xiushan’s Spiritual Power.
"Bang!" The thunderous collision of forces exploded outward, splintering nearby tables and chairs.
The backlash hurled Daoist Xiushan back, blood spurting from his mouth as his complexion drained to ashen.
"Senior Xiushan!" Gu Sheng exclaimed, worry flooding his eyes.
With no moment to aid Daoist Xiushan, Taiyi Immortal King’s strike descended upon him.
Taiyi Immortal King condensed immortal power within his palms, forging it into a brilliant beam that hurtled at Gu Sheng.
Vast might pulsed within this beam, warping the air in its path with waves.
Gu Sheng felt the lethal threat and tried to evade, only to discover an unseen force locking his body in place.
Death seemed inevitable when a radiance flared behind him.
Somehow, the Tianxuan Divine Girl had appeared beside him, wielding a Divine Ship aglow with solar and lunar brilliance—the Sun and Moon Space-Time Divine Ship.
The Divine Ship rocked gently, a soft glow wrapping around Gu Sheng to block Taiyi Immortal King’s strike.
"Goddess, what do you intend?" Taiyi Immortal King demanded, his face shadowed in fury.
Tianxuan Divine Girl gazed at Taiyi Immortal King and replied, "Immortal King, Gu Sheng is my fiancé. How could I stand idle while you injure him?"
Taiyi Immortal King gave a cold snort. "Goddess, don’t let this brat fool you! He’s utterly unworthy of you!"
While the two clashed in words, Gu Sheng endured grievous wounds from Taiyi Immortal King’s assault.
Blood erupted from his mouth, his frame staggering unsteadily. Yet his eyes stayed locked on Wang Zhu and Gu Yu clutched in his arms.
"Wang Zhu, I must kill you!" Gu Sheng snarled through clenched teeth.
Wang Zhu flashed a smug grin and passed Gu Yu to Qiankun Venerate King. "Venerate King, I’ll leave this girl in your hands."
