The top warriors of other factions shouted loudly, their voices filled with fear. The terror of this great battle was such that they dared not linger for a moment and hurriedly fled to the distance.
The Sect Masters of various sects also looked panic-stricken at this moment.
With their own strength, they might barely be able to withstand the terrifying waves caused by the battle of the Seven Great Saint Masters, but they could only protect themselves and had no way to shield their many disciples.
Only then did they suddenly realize why some people were hastily taking their families far away after leaving the Holy Road World.
At the exit of the Holy Road, the land within a radius of thousands of miles fell into chaos.
Terrifying Immortal Energy swept across the Nine Provinces. Under the impact of this powerful force, the earth madly collapsed, with massive cracks splitting open continuously.
The Tianlan Saint Mother stood amidst the chaos, her expression grave as she quickly performed sealing gestures with her hands, releasing powerful spiritual power.
That spiritual power enveloped everyone around her. She had one thought: to take everyone and escape this extremely dangerous place while the battle of the Seven Great Saint Masters was still raging.
"Holy Mother, wait a moment."
Just as everyone was preparing to leave, Gu Sheng’s voice rang out.
This shout caused the Holy Mother’s actions to abruptly pause, and she was slightly taken aback.
Others around also turned their heads, looking at Gu Sheng with surprised gazes, full of confusion, not knowing why he wanted to stop at such a critical moment.
"The situation is urgent, whatever it is, say it quickly."
Gongsun Yue couldn’t help but urge impatiently. This was the opportunity her father risked his life to create for them, and every minute, every second was precious, not allowing the slightest waste.
"Perhaps we don’t need to run away."
Gu Sheng said calmly, with a tone so normal it left everyone astounded.
"What did you say?"
Gongsun Yue doubted if she had heard wrong, widening her eyes and couldn’t help asking again.
"I said, maybe we don’t need to escape."
Gu Sheng explained once again, patiently and unhurriedly.
"You’re not joking, are you?"
Gongsun Yue looked at Gu Sheng sceptically.
If anyone else had said such a thing at this critical moment, she would have ignored it as nonsense.
The situation was so dire that even her highly skilled father had to risk his life; what capability could Gu Sheng, a mere Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, possibly possess?
However, Gu Sheng’s outstanding performance in the Holy Road made her not dismiss his words entirely, though.
"Gu Sheng, this matter is serious, don’t treat it lightly."
The Holy Mother stepped forward, advising earnestly.
The time bought for them with great difficulty by the Saint Master was very precious, but fleeting. Missing this excellent opportunity would bring unimaginable disaster upon all of them.
"Rest assured, Holy Mother, I’m not one to speak irresponsibly."
Gu Sheng gave everyone a reassuring look.
"What are you all doing, if you’re not leaving quickly?"
The Tianlan Saint Master, fully focused on defending against the attacks of the Six Great Saint Masters, felt immense pressure.
He glanced back, only to find Gu Sheng and the others still standing there, showing no sign of leaving, and immediately became furious, couldn’t help but shout.
This was a chance for them to escape, obtained at the cost of his own life; how could they be so ungrateful!
"Saint Master, Gu Sheng says he has a plan."
The Holy Mother hurried forward to explain to the Saint Master.
"Do you know what you’re saying? He has a plan? Can he handle the Six Sacred Land Saint Masters?"
The Tianlan Saint Master’s anger rose again, shaking everyone to their core. Only then did the Holy Mother wake up from her stupor, realizing how absurd and ridiculous her earlier thought was.
How could a mere Nascent Soul Realm youngster possibly withstand the joint assault of Six Great Saint Masters?
Even if Gu Sheng received the Holy Road Master’s legacy in the Holy Road, that would still be absolutely impossible. Unless, the Holy Road Master was still alive, which clearly could never happen.
"Saint Master, I really do have a way."
Seeing the Saint Master did not believe him at all, Gu Sheng explained again in dismay.
"Shut up and leave quickly, don’t make me regret my good impression of you."
The Tianlan Saint Master spoke coldly, with a frosty expression.
"Saint Master... "
A figure crossed the void, appearing at the Holy Road’s exit, driving the Ninth Elder to fury.
"Gu Sheng, what are you doing?"
The Ninth Elder was really infuriated. The entire chaos stemmed from Gu Sheng.
Instead of being grateful, Gu Sheng was willfully choosing to stay, wasting the sacrifice of the Saint Master and the Holy Mother.
In his angry state, he even forgot to be astonished at Gu Sheng’s heaven-defying ability to cross the void.
"Gu Sheng!"
Gongsun Yue was both shocked and angry.
They had a chance to escape, which came at the cost of her dearest father and mother’s safety.
Gu Sheng was squandering this opportunity, obviously infuriating her.
"How long do you intend to stay here?"
Gu Sheng ignored their scolding, instead shouting towards the Holy Road’s exit.
Everyone present turned doubtful and confused, unaware of what he was trying to pull off.
Rumble! Only the world-shattering storm spurred by the Five Great Saint Masters’ siege of the Tianlan Saint Master continued brewing madly.
"What’s the rush? I’m assessing them for you."
A light, leisurely female voice drifted from the Holy Road’s exit.
Upon hearing this, all six Saint Masters’ bodies shuddered fiercely. The Tianlan Saint Master beamed with joy.
"It’s her!"
The Tianlan Saint Master muttered excitedly.
A figure appeared, that of an aloof woman shrouded in divine purple light, as if a goddess descended from the heavens. She was the Tianxuan Divine Girl from the Upper Realm, accompanied by Bixuan.
"It’s the Goddess from the Upper Realm!"
The cultivators who had fled afar suddenly stirred, whispering among themselves. "What does she mean, does she intend to help Gu Sheng?"
They were all filled with questions.
