Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1212: Chapter 630: Fulfilling the Marriage Pact

The Tianlan Saint Master stared intently at the Seventh Elder, questioning, ”Seventh Elder, do you realize your actions this time nearly caused a catastrophe?”

The Seventh Elder bowed, head lowered, and said, ”Holy Master, I know my mistakes. But since things have come to this, I am willing to accept any punishment.”

The Tianlan Saint Master’s expression slightly softened.

The Tianlan Saint Master spoke coldly, ”Then execute Wang Zhu.”

Below, the Seventh Elder kneeled on one knee, and upon hearing the Holy Master say ”execute Wang Zhu,” his heart trembled as if struck by lightning.

The Seventh Elder, seasoned by years in the Holy Land, had developed a calm demeanor. He steadied himself, his face unruffled, and calmly replied, ”I follow the Holy Master’s command.”

The Tianlan Saint Master nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to the Great Elder, speaking in a deep voice, ”Great Elder, I leave this matter to you. Wang Zhu committed a grave error, unforgivable. Ensure this is handled cleanly and efficiently.”

The Great Elder clasped his hands respectfully and replied, ”Rest assured, Holy Master. I will make sure there are no mistakes.”

The Tianlan Saint Master thought of the Tianxuan Divine Girl and sighed softly, ”This matter has indeed put the Tianxuan Divine Girl at a disadvantage. Tomorrow, I will personally go to the Divine Maiden Palace to apologize to her.”

The Tianlan Saint Mother promptly stepped forward, gently supporting Gongsun Yue, speaking softly, ”Yue’er, don’t be afraid, come with mother.”

Gongsun Yue seemed lost, allowing her mother to support her.

The Tianlan Saint Master and Saint Mother led Gongsun Yue out of the Saint Master Hall. Along the way, the Saint Mother comforted her frightened daughter softly, ”Yue’er, don’t be afraid, everything is over. With father and mother here, you won’t be harmed.”

Gongsun Yue only nodded blankly, her eyes hollow, clearly not yet recovering from the recent upheaval.

A purple-gold stream of light streaked across the sky. The light moved swiftly, arriving above the Tianlan Sacred Land in the blink of an eye. It turned out to be the Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch receiving the Purple Spirit Realm Master’s voice transmission.

The originally beautiful face of the Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch was frosted with cold, and after listening to the transmission, her expression grew darker.

”The Azure Dragon Realm is truly oppressive!” the Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch said through clenched teeth.

Her emotions fluctuated violently, and the Sun True Fire surrounding her rippled wildly, as if ignited by fury. The disturbance of the Sun True Fire alarmed the people of the Tianlan Sacred Land, many raised their heads in fear towards the sky.

The Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch noticed her own loss of composure and strove to calm her feelings. Once the Sun True Fire gradually stabilized, a sense of helplessness welled up inside her. The Purple Spirit Realm Master informed her, through the transmission, that they were powerless against certain actions of the Azure Dragon Realm.

This left the Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch stifled. However, since the Purple Spirit Realm Master said so, there must be a reason. She could only suppress her rage and contemplate a countermeasure.

Meanwhile, on the Holy Land Peak, Gu Sheng was leisurely strolling with the Tianxuan Divine Girl. The scenery of the peak was pleasant, with a gentle breeze caressing the flowers and grasses, exuding refreshing fragrances.

The Tianxuan Divine Girl stepped lightly, stopping at intervals, turning to Gu Sheng, and softly asking, ”Gu Sheng, do you feel confident you can become as powerful as my father?”

Gu Sheng raised his head proudly, ”Senior, my goal is not to become like anyone else, but to become the strongest in this world! Everyone walks their own path. I wish not to imitate others but to forge my own way and carve out my dominion!”

The Tianxuan Divine Girl heard this, her eyes showing approval, clearly satisfied with Gu Sheng’s answer.

She continued walking a few steps, then paused, turning back, her gaze fixed on Gu Sheng, asking, ”Then do you... do you like me, or Gongsun Yue?”

The abruptness of the question left Gu Sheng stunned, standing there dazed, his mind blank. He hadn’t expected the Tianxuan Divine Girl to ask such a question, at a loss for an answer.

The Tianxuan Divine Girl was in no hurry, standing quietly, waiting patiently for Gu Sheng’s reply.

Just as Gu Sheng was gathering his thoughts and preparing to speak, a voice called out from not far away, ”Gu Sheng! Gu Sheng!”

Gu Sheng turned his head and saw Gu Yu hurrying towards them.

When Gu Yu reached them, she said softly, ”Gu Sheng, the Tianlan Saint Mother sent me to find you, expressing hope you can soon lift the curse on the Tianlan Sacred Land; this matter seems related to your Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate with Gongsun Yue.”

Gu Sheng instinctively turned to look at the Tianxuan Divine Girl, only to find she had left at some point. Aware of the urgency, he told Gu Yu, ”Let’s go, we’ll first meet the Tianlan Saint Mother at the Water Spirit Pavilion.”

Gu Sheng took his sister Gu Yu to the mysterious Water Spirit Pavilion.

Gu Sheng straightened his clothes and led Gu Yu inside the pavilion.

Upon entering, the Tianlan Saint Mother was seated on a mat within, a faint halo surrounding her, adding an air of mystery to her usual demeanor.

Gu Sheng hurriedly brought Gu Yu to the front, respectfully bowing, before stepping into the pavilion.

”Gu Sheng, now that you’ve come, is the Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate ready?” the Tianlan Saint Mother did not stand.

Gu Sheng hadn’t expected the Saint Mother to be so direct, hurriedly clasping his hands and saying, ”Saint Mother, this matter is significant; though I know a bit about the Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate, preparing it will take some time.”

The Tianlan Saint Mother nodded slightly, staring fixedly at Gu Sheng, saying, ”In that case, come to me when you’re ready, do not delay for long.”

She gently waved her hand, issuing an order for them to leave.

Though Gu Sheng was full of doubts, perplexed by the Saint Mother’s eagerness regarding the Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate, he dared not inquire further, instead bowing once more and leading Gu Yu out of the Water Spirit Pavilion.
