Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1212 - 630: Fulfilling the Marriage Pact

The Tianlan Saint Master fixed a piercing gaze on the Seventh Elder, demanding, "Seventh Elder, are you aware your actions this time almost triggered a disaster?"

With his head bowed low, the Seventh Elder prostrated himself and replied, "Holy Master, I know my mistakes. But since things have reached this point, I am ready to face any punishment."

A hint of softening appeared on the Tianlan Saint Master’s face.

In a frosty tone, the Tianlan Saint Master declared, "Then carry out Wang Zhu’s execution."

Kneeling on one knee below, the Seventh Elder felt his heart jolt like thunder upon hearing the Holy Master order "execute Wang Zhu."

Having tempered by long years in the Holy Land, the Seventh Elder kept his composure steady. His features remained composed as he responded evenly, "I obey the Holy Master’s command."

The Tianlan Saint Master gave a faint nod, then shifted his eyes to the Great Elder and commanded gravely, "Great Elder, handle this affair. Wang Zhu’s offense is severe and beyond forgiveness. See to it that everything is done thoroughly and without flaws."

With hands cupped in respect, the Great Elder answered, "Holy Master, have no worries. I’ll ensure nothing goes awry."

Recalling the Tianxuan Divine Girl, the Tianlan Saint Master let out a quiet sigh, "This incident has truly wronged the Tianxuan Divine Girl. Tomorrow, I’ll visit the Divine Maiden Palace myself to offer my apologies."

Stepping forward at once, the Tianlan Saint Mother gently helped Gongsun Yue up, murmuring tenderly, "Yue’er, don’t fear, come with Mother."

Gongsun Yue appeared dazed, letting her mother guide her along.

Guiding Gongsun Yue from the Saint Master Hall, the Tianlan Saint Master and Saint Mother walked ahead. En route, the Saint Mother soothed her shaken daughter with gentle words, "Yue’er, no need to fear, it’s all finished now. With Father and Mother protecting you, no harm will come."

Gongsun Yue merely nodded in a trance, her gaze vacant, evidently still reeling from the shock.

A streak of purple-gold radiance flashed through the heavens. hurtling at tremendous speed to hover over the Tianlan Sacred Land in mere moments. It was the Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch, responding to the Purple Spirit Realm Master’s voice transmission.

Cold frost covered the Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch’s once lovely features, her face darkening further as she absorbed the message.

"The Azure Dragon Realm is utterly tyrannical!" spat the Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch through gritted teeth.

Her fury surged wildly, causing the enveloping Sun True Fire to churn chaotically like flames fanned by rage. This outburst of Sun True Fire startled the Tianlan Sacred Land’s inhabitants, who looked up in alarm at the skies.

Realizing her lapse, the Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch forced her emotions under control. As the Sun True Fire settled once more, a wave of powerlessness washed over her. The Purple Spirit Realm Master had conveyed their inability to counter the Azure Dragon Realm’s moves.

Feeling choked with frustration, the Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch held back her anger nonetheless. Trusting the Purple Spirit Realm Master’s words had purpose, she pondered her next steps.

Atop the Holy Land Peak in the meantime, Gu Sheng wandered casually alongside the Tianxuan Divine Girl. The summit’s vista was delightful, a soft wind brushing blooms and blades, releasing invigorating scents.

With light steps, the Tianxuan Divine Girl paused now and then, glancing at Gu Sheng and inquiring softly, "Gu Sheng, are you certain you can grow as mighty as my father?"

Gu Sheng lifted his chin with pride, declaring, "Senior, I aim not to match anyone, but to claim supremacy over this world! Each treads their unique path. Rather than copy others, I’ll blaze my trail and seize my own realm!"

Approval gleamed in the Tianxuan Divine Girl’s eyes at his words, evidently pleased by Gu Sheng’s response.

After a few more paces, she halted again, turning to lock eyes with Gu Sheng, and probed, "Then... do you like me, or Gongsun Yue?"

Caught off guard by the sudden query, Gu Sheng froze in place, his thoughts scattering, utterly unprepared for the Tianxuan Divine Girl’s direct question and struggling for words.

Unhurried, the Tianxuan Divine Girl stood silently, awaiting Gu Sheng’s answer with patience.

As Gu Sheng mustered his wits to respond, a shout rang out nearby, "Gu Sheng! Gu Sheng!"

Turning around, Gu Sheng spotted Gu Yu rushing over toward them.

Upon arriving before them, Gu Yu spoke in a soft voice, "Gu Sheng, the Tianlan Saint Mother dispatched me to seek you out. She hopes you can swiftly dispel the curse plaguing the Tianlan Sacred Land; it appears linked to your Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate with Gongsun Yue."

Gu Sheng turned his head on instinct toward the Tianxuan Divine Girl, discovering she had vanished unnoticed. Feeling the matter's urgency, he instructed Gu Yu, "Let’s go, we’ll first meet the Tianlan Saint Mother at the Water Spirit Pavilion."

Gu Sheng escorted his sister Gu Yu toward the enigmatic Water Spirit Pavilion.

Gu Sheng adjusted his robes neatly before guiding Gu Yu into the pavilion.

Once inside, the Tianlan Saint Mother sat upon a mat, a subtle glow encircling her and heightening the enigmatic aura around her typical poise.

Gu Sheng swiftly led Gu Yu forward, offering a respectful bow, then proceeded into the pavilion.

"Gu Sheng, since you’ve arrived, is the Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate prepared?" The Tianlan Saint Mother remained seated without rising.

Startled by the Saint Mother’s bluntness, Gu Sheng quickly cupped his hands and responded, "Saint Mother, this affair carries great weight; although I possess some understanding of the Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate, assembling it demands time."

The Tianlan Saint Mother gave a faint nod, her gaze locked intently on Gu Sheng as she declared, "Very well, seek me once it’s ready—do not procrastinate overly."

With a gentle flick of her hand, she signaled their dismissal.

Brimming with uncertainties and baffled by the Saint Mother’s intense focus on the Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate, Gu Sheng held back his questions. Instead, he bowed once more and guided Gu Yu away from the Water Spirit Pavilion.
