Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1220 - 634: The Misunderstanding Deepens

"Holy Mother!"

Panicking wildly, a female disciple dashed inside.

"The Qiankun Venerate King is heading to the Holy Heaven Peak!"

"What?"

The phoenix eyes of the Tianlan Saint Mother narrowed sharply.

"Hasn’t the Taiyi Immortal King already conducted the search?"

Anxiously, Gongsun Yue stomped her foot.

"It has to be the Second Elder’s scheme! I caught them in a secret meeting with the Qiankun Venerate King just now!"

The Tianlan Saint Mother grasped the scheme instantly.

"Yue’er, hurry to the Water Spirit Pavilion and alert Gu Yu!"

"Yes!" Gongsun Yue turned to depart but her mother stopped her.

"Be cautious in your actions, avoid detection."

From her sleeve, the Tianlan Saint Mother drew a jade talisman and passed it to her daughter.

"Should danger arise, shatter it right away!"

At that moment, along the mountain path of Holy Land Peak.

"Venerate King, Gu Yu is located in the Water Spirit Pavilion."

His voice lowered by the Seventh Elder.

"Although young, that girl has developed into a stunning beauty..."

A wicked glint flashed in the Qiankun Venerate King’s eyes as he licked his lips greedily.

"Excellent, I shall pay her a personal visit."

Obsequiously, the Second Elder bowed low.

"Your personal involvement guarantees success. However..." he paused on purpose.

"Should the Tianlan Saint Master uncover our role..."

"Useless fool!"

Transforming into a wisp of green mist, the Qiankun Venerate King shot forward from the Holy Heaven Peak toward the Holy Land Peak, his velocity nearly ripping the void apart.

The Water Spirit Pavilion stood as his unmistakable goal.

"Mother, what scheme does he have in mind?"

Unknowingly, Gongsun Yue’s delicate fingers clenched her sleeves tightly, dread surging through her heart.

Deep lines creased the brow of the Tianlan Saint Mother.

"Trouble—he’s probably after Gu Sheng’s sister."

To the Second Elder, the Seventh Elder murmured.

"Second Brother, do we tail him?"

Swiftly, the Second Elder resolved.

"Follow! Staying back would expose our involvement."

No sooner had his words ended than the Second and Seventh Elders launched skyward, trailing the Qiankun Venerate King’s trail to the Holy Heaven Peak.

Cloaked in secrecy their moves appeared, but the Tianlan Saint Master’s piercing gaze caught them all.

"Mother, we have to check it out!" Gongsun Yue pleaded, anxiety blazing in her eyes.

After a momentary pause, the Tianlan Saint Mother chose decisively.

"We go—stop him from causing havoc."

The instant she moved, the Tianlan Saint Master’s probing stare landed upon her.

In hushed tones, the Tianlan Saint Mother clarified.

"Gu Sheng’s sister is at Holy Heaven Peak; I’ll investigate the situation."

Back and forth swept the Tianlan Saint Master’s gaze over the Qiankun Venerate King and the pair of elders, chill hardening his eyes.

"Stay vigilant. The Second Elder’s tactics are cunning."

"Endure no matter what."

Solemnly nodding, the Tianlan Saint Mother merged with Gongsun Yue into twin rays of light, streaking directly to Holy Heaven Peak.

"Second Brother, the Tianlan Saint Mother tails us,"

Nervously transmitted the Seventh Elder.

A sneer curled the Second Elder’s lips.

"Fear not. She won’t dare act boldly in front of the Qiankun Venerate King."

Simultaneously, divine sense from the Taiyi Immortal King scanned the whole Holy Land in a rapid sweep.

Fresh from Holy Heaven Peak, he had promptly combed Holy Land Peak and nearby Spirit Mountains.

Sensing the motions of the Qiankun Venerate King and his companions, a helpless sigh escaped him.

"A mighty Immortal King like me, reduced to chasing a greenhorn lad."

Indignation burned within the Taiyi Immortal King.

"This marks the greatest humiliation of my existence."

Yet, recalling the Supreme Immortal Sect Master’s command, he stifled his resentment and pressed on hunting Gu Sheng.

First to reach Water Spirit Pavilion was the Qiankun Venerate King. Noticing the Tianlan Saint Mother and Gongsun Yue pursuing, malice darkened his gaze.

"Hmph, they move fast."

Coldly he snorted, surging his pace abruptly.

"Boom——"

Straight into the Qiankun Venerate King’s eyes stared the Tianlan Saint Mother.

"What brings the Venerate King abruptly to Holy Heaven Peak?"

Seizing her mother’s divided attention, Gongsun Yue slipped silently from Water Spirit Pavilion, sprinting toward the Taoist temple.

"Not good!"

Gongsun Yue’s maneuver was sharply spotted by the Second Elder, who urgently messaged the Qiankun Venerate King.

"That girl fled toward the Taoist temple!"

Upon those words, fury ignited in the Qiankun Venerate King, his overwhelming aura exploding outward and bearing down fiercely on the Tianlan Saint Mother.

"You wretch! How dare you resort to such tricks?"

Roaring in rage, he surged forward, ready to storm the entrance of the Water Spirit Pavilion.

Unyielding, the Tianlan Saint Mother stood firm, her robes billowing mysteriously as a shield of formidable spiritual power enveloped her completely.

"What is the Venerate King implying? I truly don’t comprehend."

"Cease your feigned ignorance!" Murderous intent blazed in the Qiankun Venerate King’s eyes.

"Allowing Gongsun Yue to alert that brat—do you believe me so blind?"

Though her face betrayed no emotion, a tempest raged deep inside the Tianlan Saint Mother.

Her gaze shifted toward the Second and Seventh Elders standing nearby.

"Second Elder, Seventh Elder, what do you intend by this?"

Composed as ever, the Second Elder advanced and declared.

"Holy Mother, you’re reading too much into it. We only worried about the Venerate King proceeding without support."

"Really?"

The Tianlan Saint Mother let out a mocking sneer.

"Then explain why you trailed him immediately and located Yue’er’s position so swiftly?"

The Seventh Elder’s expression flickered briefly, yet the Second Elder held steady.

"You’ve misunderstood, Holy Mother. We..."

"Enough!"

With a thunderous bellow, the Qiankun Venerate King cut off the Second Elder.

"I won’t tolerate your prattle! Tianlan Saint Mother, step aside at once, or I’ll paint the Tianlan Holy Land red with blood!"

Her pupils narrowed sharply as the Tianlan Saint Mother pondered her dilemma.

Refusing to yield could provoke the Qiankun Venerate King into calling the Taiyi Immortal King, unleashing catastrophic results.

However, giving way would doom Gu Sheng’s sister to dire peril.

In her moment of indecision, the Tianlan Saint Master’s voice echoed within her mind.

"Make way, avoid clashing directly."

Slowly, the Tianlan Saint Mother pulled back her aura.

"Venerate King, please go ahead."

A savage glare pierced from the Qiankun Venerate King as he veered past the Water Spirit Pavilion and raced toward the Taoist temple.

The Second and Seventh Elders started to pursue, only to be blocked by the Tianlan Saint Mother.

"Elders, do you plan to defy my command?"
