Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1205 - 626: No Harm Will Come

Qiankun Venerate King seized Gu Yu, a savage grin spreading across his face. "Gu Sheng, today marks your doom!"

Witnessing his sister captured by Qiankun Venerate King, Gu Sheng felt fury surging to its utmost in his heart.

Ignoring all caution, he charged once more at Wang Zhu despite his frail body, the effort forcing another gush of blood from his mouth.

Murderous light flashed in Taiyi Immortal King’s eyes as he swiftly formed hand seals, readying a devastating blow against Gu Sheng.

"Gu Sheng, time to die!"

Right before Taiyi Immortal King’s strike could land on Gu Sheng, the wooden box clutched in his arms trembled fiercely. With a sharp "crack," the box burst apart.

Dozens of marriage contracts drifted out from the fragments, swirling through the air.

All present froze in shock, halting their moves, gazes locked onto those floating marriage contracts.

A sudden breeze swept through, causing one marriage contract to flutter down, its page revealing the names "Gu Sheng" and "Luo Xi" in bold.

Luo Xi was none other than the Tianxuan Divine Girl’s true name.

Spotting his name alongside "Luo Xi" on the marriage contract, Gu Sheng shuddered with thrill, muttering in disbelief, "This... what’s happening?"

Instinctively, his hands stretched forward to seize that marriage contract.

Taiyi Immortal King halted his powerful assault the instant he glimpsed the marriage contract.

"Is this ’Luo Xi’ actually the Tianxuan Divine Girl’s real name? Then what does this marriage contract signify?"

A tangled mix of emotions crossed his face.

Upon seeing the marriage contract, Tianxuan Divine Girl’s body jolted.

Her eyes glued to the names on it, confusion flickered first, then as memories surfaced, her face drained of color.

Unbidden, the scene of her dying mother rose in her thoughts.

Her mother lay feebly on the bed, gripping her hand, whispering brokenly, "Xi’er... in your childhood... I arranged a marriage pact with a great figure... destiny may bring you together one day..."

Tianxuan Divine Girl’s lips quivered faintly; she had never imagined encountering this marriage contract under such circumstances today.

Taiyi Immortal King pulled back his strike, facing Qiankun Venerate King with a harsh demand, "Qiankun, is ’Luo Xi’ the Tianxuan Divine Girl’s name?"

Qiankun Venerate King’s expression shifted subtly at Taiyi Immortal King’s query, avoiding a straight reply, his look growing awkward.

To onlookers, his reaction screamed confirmation.

Gu Sheng exploited the momentary lull, refusing to let the chance slip.

With a light push from his foot, he dashed toward Wang Zhu.

Stunned by the sudden twist, Wang Zhu failed to react in time.

Gu Sheng materialized in front of him, swinging his arm to slam a fist straight into Wang Zhu’s chest.

Wang Zhu tried to evade, but it proved too late.

The heavy blow struck his chest solidly; he grunted in pain and stumbled back several steps.

Seizing the moment, Gu Sheng yanked his sister Gu Yu away from Wang Zhu.

Clutching Gu Yu protectively behind him, Gu Sheng’s eyes burned with wariness.

Enraged, Wang Zhu lunged to grab Gu Yu once more.

But as he stirred, radiant holy light poured from above, wrapping around him.

Tianlan Saint Mother had intervened, her holy light restraining Wang Zhu completely, rendering him immobile.

Wang Zhu could only glare as Gu Sheng escaped with Gu Yu, frustration boiling yet powerless.

Having steadied her emotions somewhat, Tianxuan Divine Girl fixed questioning eyes on Gu Sheng and spoke, "Why hold back this marriage contract until now? Without it emerging, you and I would have been in grave danger today."

Gu Sheng bowed his head at her words, clarifying, "My master bequeathed me this box with a seal inside. Only when it shattered moments ago did I uncover the marriage contract."

Though doubts lingered, Tianxuan Divine Girl accepted his words without pressing further.

She whirled toward Qiankun Venerate King and Taiyi Immortal King, authority blazing in her gaze, and demanded loudly, "With the marriage contract revealed, do you still question his identity?"

Embarrassment colored Taiyi Immortal King’s features; he cleared his throat and replied, "With the marriage contract shown, there’s no basis for doubt."

Even as he uttered this, irritation gnawed at him, the day’s events a utter fiasco—not only had he failed to seize Gu Sheng, but he’d stumbled badly too.

At Taiyi Immortal King’s statement, Tianxuan Divine Girl gave a faint nod and declared, "Very well then, Taiyi Immortal King, you may depart. Persist further, and I’ll inform my father to deal with this."

Although irritated by Tianxuan Divine Girl’s remarks, Taiyi Immortal King admitted his own error; if the issue reached her father, serious trouble would ensue.

He cast a look at Qiankun Venerate King and declared, "Qiankun, let’s leave; today’s affair is a failure."

Yet Qiankun Venerate King pretended not to hear Taiyi Immortal King at all, his killing intent surging as he stared murderously at Gu Sheng.

A prolonged howl escaped his lips, while his aura skyrocketed uncontrollably.

From the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm at the start, he shattered the barriers with force, advancing into the half-step Earth Palace Realm.

Still, his surging power refused to halt, climbing higher into the early Earth Palace Realm.

Taiyi Immortal King observed from nearby, his brows knitted in deep concern.

He feared the grudge between Tianlan Sacred Land and Qiankun Venerate King might provoke Tianlan Sacred Land to covertly undermine and destroy Qiankun Venerate King’s ambitious schemes.

"Venerate King, this Tianlan Sacred Land has always opposed us; they won’t let it slide easily, stay vigilant,"

Urgency filled Taiyi Immortal King’s voice as he sought to convince Qiankun Venerate King to exercise caution.

Qiankun Venerate King sneered disdainfully, "Hmph, Taiyi Immortal King, you’re too timid. If it weren’t for your earlier hesitation, would I have needed to intervene myself? Your fault ruined the scheme to torment Gu Sheng in utter despair."

Resentment churned within Taiyi Immortal King’s heart, yet he refrained from displaying it openly before Qiankun Venerate King, forcing down his bitterness.

As the Young Master of the Supreme Immortal Sect, Qiankun Venerate King commanded immense authority there, obliging even an Immortal King like Taiyi to proceed with utmost care.

Qiankun Venerate King swept his gaze across the area, eyes brimming with haughty assurance.

"As the Young Master of the Supreme Immortal Sect, they dare not meddle lightly."

With that, he shot a venomous glare at Tianlan Saint Mother, who had intercepted his strike back then, enabling Gu Sheng’s getaway—a grudge burned into his memory.

Taiyi Immortal King comprehended instantly.

Grasping Qiankun Venerate King’s intent, he acted without delay, murmuring incantations before bellowing, "Words and Laws Follow!"

Vast immortal energy exploded from his form, expanding everywhere to envelop the entirety of Tianlan Sacred Land.

Beneath this cloak of immortal power, every detail inside Tianlan Sacred Land stood revealed under Taiyi Immortal King’s scrutiny.

From the faintest magical artifact pulses to the subtlest signs of Array activity, nothing eluded his Divine Thought’s watch. Any irregularity would be pinpointed and obliterated in an instant.

In Tianlan Sacred Land, the Holy Master detected this colossal immortal pressure, his face paling dramatically.

Overpowered by Taiyi Immortal King’s dominance, he could only shudder uncontrollably, his mind too crushed for even a flicker of defiance.

The land’s other disciples were equally horrified by the immortal pressure, many tumbling powerless to the ground.

Beside Gu Sheng, Gu Yu stared at the spectacle ahead, her features draining of color in sheer terror.

Her fingers gripped Gu Sheng’s sleeve firmly, her body quaking as she whispered, "Brother, what should we do? They’re too powerful."

Gu Sheng softly stroked Gu Yu’s hand in reassurance, saying, "Yu’er, don’t be afraid, if the sky falls, I will hold it up for you, nothing will happen."

At Gu Sheng’s words, Qiankun Venerate King exploded into mocking guffaws. His laughter pulsed with tremendous force, booming outward.

Wherever the sound propagated, the Void across a hundred-meter span quaked fiercely.
