Chapter 1531: Chapter 788: Reckless Fool (Part 2)

"That’s Qi Yinglong."

Xie Qingxuan followed the direction of her finger and saw a young man in a luxurious purple robe chatting with the guests.

His face was handsome, his demeanor elegant, giving no hint of being a villain who abducted young women.

"Sect Realm Peak..."

Xie Qingxuan sensed the powerful aura emanating from him and couldn’t help but clench her fists.

Qi Yinglong seemed to perceive something and suddenly looked toward the place where they were hiding.

Tantai Bingtang promptly pulled them down to crouch, holding their breath.

"Has he spotted us?"

Xie Qingxuan asked nervously.

Tantai Bingtang shook her head.

"It’s probably just instinct. The Thousand Illusions Mask can not only alter appearance but also conceal aura. As long as we don’t reveal ourselves, he won’t detect us."

Indeed, Qi Yinglong quickly withdrew his gaze and continued talking with the guests.

"Let’s go, we’ll blend in."

Tantai Xueling took out two identical masks from her bosom and put them on.

In the blink of an eye, she also transformed into another female disciple of the Wanliu Sect.

The three of them smoothly merged into the crowd, covering themselves with the masses.

Along the way, Xie Qingxuan’s heart beat like a drum, fearing someone would see through them.

But as the Tantai Sisters had said, the effects of the Thousand Illusions Mask were astounding, even familiar comrades greeted her respectfully with no suspicion.

"What exactly are you planning?"

Taking advantage of no one paying attention, Xie Qingxuan asked in a low voice.

Tantai Bingtang’s lips curved slightly.

"You’ll find out soon."

An hour later, an elder loudly announced.

"The auspicious time has arrived, please Young Sect Master proceed to the main hall!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yinglong saluted the guests and then ascended into the air, flying towards the sect’s main hall.

His figure drew a streak of purple across the sky, eliciting gasps of amazement.

"Let’s go too."

Tantai Xueling pulled Xie Qingxuan along with the crowd.

The plaza in front of the main hall was already filled with seated guests, representatives from various sects gathered together.

When Qi Yinglong descended from the sky, everyone stood up and saluted.

"Thank you all for attending my concubine ceremony."

Qi Yinglong stood on the high platform, beaming.

"Since today is such a beautiful day, why don’t we invite the bride out now?"

The audience erupted in cheers.

Qi Yinglong clapped his hands.

"Bring the bride up!"

At his command, two female disciples escorted a woman covered with a red veil, walking out slowly.

The woman staggered, seemingly unwilling.

Xie Qingxuan stared hard at the "bride"... That was not her! Who was impersonating her?

"Don’t worry."

Tantai Bingtang seemed to have read her thoughts, whispering.

"That’s one of ours."

At that moment, Xie Qingxuan noticed the "bride" wearing a familiar jade bracelet... It was her mother’s remnant! How did these people get it?

Greed glinted in Qi Yinglong’s eyes as he eagerly walked toward the "bride" and reached out to lift the veil.

"Young Sect Master, wait."

An elder hurriedly stopped him.

"According to tradition, we must first bow to the heavens."

Qi Yinglong frowned impatiently but pulled back his hand.

"Then let’s hurry."

The ceremonial procedures proceeded.

While everyone’s attention was focused on the high platform, Tantai Bingtang discreetly handed Xie Qingxuan a small bottle.

"What’s this?"

Xie Qingxuan asked quietly.

"Illusion Heart Powder; it induces hallucinations."

Tantai Bingtang explained.

"Listen for my signal, then scatter it on Qi Yinglong."

Xie Qingxuan tightened her grip on the bottle, her heart racing.

She had no idea what the sisters were planning, but at this point, she could only take it one step at a time.

Halfway through the ceremony, the guests began to present their gifts.

"As you wish."

With this indifferent response, a shadow descended gracefully from the dome of the hall, like a falling leaf, suspending three meters above everyone’s heads.

The person was dressed entirely in black, their face masked by a half silver mask, revealing only a pair of eyes as cold as knives.

"Presumptuous!"

Sect Master Qi shouted furiously, his Spiritual Power surged, and the ground of the hall was shockingly fractured with web-like cracks.

"Get down here!"

Gu Sheng remained motionless, looking down at the people of the Wanliu Sect with a mocking smile.

"Sect Master Qi, such impressive authority, but unfortunately..."

"Unfortunately what?"

Qi Yinglong asked harshly, a cold, gleaming longsword appearing in his hand.

"Unfortunately, after today, the Wanliu Sect will cease to exist."

Gu Sheng’s voice was terrifyingly calm, as if stating the most ordinary fact.

Tantai Xueling stood among the guests, her face pale.

She had never seen Gu Sheng like this... those usually gentle, smiling eyes were now icy and piercing, the killing intent emanating from him made her feel as if she was plunged into an ice cellar.

She instinctively took half a step back, bumping into her sister Tantai Bingtang’s shoulder.

"Sister... he..."

Tantai Xueling’s voice trembled.

Tantai Bingtang grabbed her sister’s hand, her brow furrowing.

"Don’t make a sound."

Xie Qingxuan stood beside the sisters, keenly aware that the aura emanating from Gu Sheng was entirely different from usual.

She quietly grasped the short sword in her sleeve, but found she couldn’t lock onto Gu Sheng’s Spiritual Power fluctuations... this could only mean his cultivation exceeded her perception range.

"Arrogant!"

Sect Master Qi laughed in extreme anger.

"Men, capture this audacious fool who doesn’t know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth!"

With his command, dozens of figures suddenly emerged from various points of the Wanliu Sect, each exuding powerful Spiritual Power fluctuations... they were all Sect Realm experts! They swiftly occupied various positions in the hall, surrounding Gu Sheng.

The guests cried out in surprise, retreating in panic.

No one expected the Wanliu Sect to hide so many masters, much less that someone would dare to challenge the entire sect single-handedly.

Faced with the encirclement of dozens of Sect Realm masters, Gu Sheng didn’t even lift an eyebrow.

He slowly raised his right hand, his thumb and middle finger gently rubbing together...
