"Divine Flame Qi Sword!"
With a low shout from Gu Sheng, the golden Divine Flame suddenly surged, transforming into the shape of a three-foot longsword, with mysterious runes flowing along its blade.
Compared to Jiang Feihong’s spectacular attack, Gu Sheng’s move appeared extremely reserved, yet it left everyone present feeling a sense of suffocation.
"This... this is the aura of the Sect Realm’s Great Perfection!"
An observing disciple cried out in shock.
In a flash, the crimson handprint and the golden Qi sword collided.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, just a dull "puff" as if a sharp blade pierced through leather.
Jiang Feihong’s pupils suddenly contracted as he watched helplessly as his full-powered handprint was effortlessly pierced by the golden Qi sword, shredded like hot knife through butter.
Even worse, the golden Qi sword, without losing momentum, shot directly towards his chest!
"Impossible!"
Waves of shock rose in Jiang Feihong’s heart.
"This palm strike could split mountains and rocks, how could it..."
The shadow of death loomed over him, and Jiang Feihong felt cold all over, too late even to think of dodging.
He despairingly closed his eyes, waiting for death to come.
"Buzz..."
Just as the golden Qi sword was about to pierce Jiang Feihong’s chest, a white silhouette suddenly appeared before him.
With just a gentle flick of his sleeve, Bai Yu made Gu Sheng’s Divine Flame Qi sword vanish into nothingness as if it had hit an invisible barrier.
"Brother Bai... Bai Yu!"
Jiang Feihong opened his eyes and, seeing that slender white figure, he instantly felt as if he had seen a savior.
Gu Sheng’s brow furrowed slightly, scrutinizing the man who had suddenly appeared.
This person was dressed in pure white robes, his face handsome, with a transcendent aura between his brows.
What caught Gu Sheng’s attention the most was the aura emanating from him, which surprisingly made him feel pressured.
"True Disciple..."
Gu Sheng said inwardly, his eyes filled with caution.
Bai Yu turned around and cast a casual glance at Jiang Feihong.
"Kneel, apologize."
Jiang Feihong’s face instantly turned deathly pale.
"Senior Brother, I..."
"I don’t want to say it a second time."
Bai Yu’s voice remained calm, yet carried undeniable authority.
Jiang Feihong clenched his fists tight, his nails digging deep into his palms.
He stared hard at the ground and finally knelt before Gu Sheng with a "thud."
"Gu... Gu Senior Brother, it was my fault to have disrespected you, please be generous and forgive me..."
Gu Sheng coldly watched on without a word.
Only then did Bai Yu turn to Gu Sheng, cupping his fists in salute.
"Junior Brother Gu, I am Bai Yu. I have long admired you. Today’s incident was due to my lax discipline. I hope you can spare him on my account."
Gu Sheng sized up Bai Yu and found his attitude sincere, without a hint of haughtiness, slightly easing his vigilance.
"Senior Brother Bai, you flatter me. Since you are intervening, I will naturally give you face."
Bai Yu smiled faintly.
"Thank you, Junior Brother Gu, for your tolerance."
He turned to the still kneeling Jiang Feihong.
"I have investigated the death of your brother Jiang Feiyun, and it has nothing to do with Junior Brother Gu. Go back and reflect in seclusion for three months, and do not step out of your quarters even once!"
Jiang Feihong’s head snapped up.
"Senior Brother, but my brother..."
"What? Are you questioning my judgment?"
Bai Yu’s eyes grew cold.
Jiang Feihong trembled all over and quickly lowered his head.
"I dare not, I obey."
Bai Yu no longer paid attention to Jiang Feihong, sweeping his gaze over the group of Law Enforcement Hall disciples.
That group instantly felt uncomfortable, each bowing their head, not daring to meet his eyes.
"You."
Bai Yu’s voice suddenly turned cold.
"Will you return to receive punishment on your own, or should I personally send you to the Law Enforcement Hall?"
The faces of the Law Enforcement Hall members changed dramatically, and their leader hurriedly said.
"Forgive us, Senior Brother Bai! We will go back at once to receive our punishment!"
Having said that, the group turned to leave in a hurry.
"Wait."
Bai Yu stopped them.
"Where is Shen Qingtan?"
The Law Enforcement Hall disciples exchanged glances and stammered.
"In... in the stone prison behind the mountain..."
A flash of cold light appeared in Bai Yu’s eyes.
"Release her immediately and apologize. If it happens again, you know the consequences."
"Yes, yes, yes, we’ll go right away!"
The Law Enforcement Hall members felt as if they were granted amnesty and hurriedly left.
Gu Sheng’s brow twitched slightly when he heard the name "Shen Qingtan."
He remembered this woman as a rare alchemy genius within the sect, fierce in character, never fawning for favor.
After unrelated people had left, Bai Yu turned to Gu Sheng again, his face once more bearing a gentle smile.
"Junior Brother Gu, in fact, I’ve long wanted to meet you. Your deeds in the Southern Border were even praised by the Sect Leader."
Gu Sheng remained neither humble nor arrogant.
"You’re too kind, Senior Brother Bai. I wonder why you seek me out today?"
Bai Yu looked around, lowered his voice, and said.
"This is not a good place to talk. I have a proposal for cooperation to discuss with Junior Brother Gu, may we speak in private?"
"Junior Brother Gu, please follow me."
Bai Yu, clad in snow-white robes, stood in front of the Transmission Array, gesturing for Gu Sheng to proceed.
His face was incomparably handsome yet held an imperceptible worry between his brows.
Gu Sheng turned to look at Gu Ningshuang and Qin Yurou, whispering.
"You two go ahead and get Qingtan. I’ll be there shortly."
Gu Ningshuang furrowed her brows slightly and whispered a secret transmission.
"Be careful, none of the True Disciples are simple. This Bai Yu seems gentle, but he is actually unfathomable."
Gu Sheng gave an almost imperceptible nod.
Bai Yu seemed to sense something, the corners of his mouth curling into a slight smile.
"Junior Sister Gu, no need to worry. I do have a favor to ask of Junior Brother Gu and will not harm him in the slightest."
Gu Ningshuang was taken aback, clearly not expecting Bai Yu to intercept her secret transmission.
She took a deep look at Bai Yu and then left with Qin Yurou.
