Within the Holy Domain, the Spiritual Energy is rich and the scenery is picturesque.
Pavilions and towers are hidden among the clouds and Spirit Plants, Immortal Cranes and spiritual birds flutter about, presenting an atmosphere of the Immortal family.
However, Gu Sheng had no mind to appreciate it; his steps were steady, but his Divine Sense was like an invisible spider web, silently covering the surroundings.
Just as he stepped out not far, a familiar figure came face to face with him.
Qin Yurou was still in a simple and elegant long dress, her demeanor gentle, but there was an unmistakable worry between her brows.
Seeing Gu Sheng, her eyes showed surprise, and she quickly stepped forward.
"Senior Brother Gu!"
Qin Yurou’s voice was filled with urgency.
"You’ve returned! Great! I was just about to look for you!"
"Junior Sister Qin, what has happened to make you so anxious?"
Gu Sheng stopped his steps.
Qin Yurou cautiously scanned the surroundings, lowered her voice, and said.
"Senior Brother Gu, did you know? Xiao Beixuan... that lunatic! Somehow, he learned that you ruined his Thousand Souls Hall’s plan, and he’s placed a bounty of a million High-grade Spirit Stones in the black market, set on taking your life!
Now, quite a few desperados and Evil Cultivators have set their sights on you! You must be careful!"
A million High-grade Spirit Stones!
This sum is enough to make even those at the King Realm go mad!
Indeed, Xiao Beixuan bears grudges deeply, and what’s more... he’s extravagantly wealthy!
"I understand."
Gu Sheng’s eyes turned slightly cold, and he nodded.
Qin Yurou hesitated slightly, her face showing even more concern.
"And... Senior Brother Shen... has exited seclusion."
"Oh?"
Gu Sheng’s eyes flickered.
"How is he?"
"He... he’s had a breakthrough! Successfully reached the Sect Realm!"
Qin Yurou’s tone was complicated, with both joy and deep worry.
"Moreover, after exiting seclusion, his aura... is very strange. Much stronger than before, significantly so! The elders all say that with his current strength, he has great hope of breaking into the top ten of the True Inheritance List!
But... he’s changed completely! Become so cold, so unfamiliar... barely speaking to us, locking himself in the depths of the Mystic Sect all day. I... I’m very worried about him."
Indeed! Shen Qingyun’s breakthrough is definitely not normal! That so-called "opportunity" is likely the handiwork of Venerable Ming River!
He’s already been targeted!
"I understand."
Gu Sheng’s voice remained calm.
"Thank you, Junior Sister, for informing me. I have matters to attend to, I’ll be leaving first."
Qin Yurou watched the departing figure of Gu Sheng, opened her mouth, but finally turned it into a sigh.
She knew that the matters between Gu Sheng and Shen Qingyun were far beyond her ability to intervene.
Passing through a few serene corridors, bypassing a garden of Spirit Plants filled with Spiritual Energy, Gu Sheng arrived at a secluded courtyard.
A quaint wooden plaque hung on the gate, inscribed with the words "Luomei Small Residence".
The courtyard wall was not high, revealing a few old plum trees with gnarled branches inside. Although it was not the flowering season, it exuded a unique chilly charm.
The courtyard gate was ajar.
Gu Sheng pushed it open and entered.
The courtyard was elegant and tidy, with bluestone paving and several bamboo lodges hidden behind the plum trees.
Elder Bai Yu was standing under an old plum tree, her back to the gate, seemingly lost in thought.
She was still in a simple white long dress, her demeanor as cold as snow.
Upon hearing footsteps, Bai Yu slowly turned around.
Her gaze fell on Gu Sheng, with an almost undetectable fluctuation in her cold eyes.
"You’ve come."
Her voice was like the clash of jade stones, crisp and distant.
"Elder Bai."
Gu Sheng nodded slightly, to the point.
"I have rescued your sister Bai Zhi."
Bai Yu’s cold eyes suddenly lit up, like the sudden appearance of a Cold Star!
She stepped forward, her aura somewhat unstable.
"Zhi’er?! Where is she? How is she?"
