75: Incarnation of the Heavenly Dao

Through the layers of cloud barriers, Xi Nian seemed to see a pair of giant eyes.

Those were a pair of cold and indifferent eyes, exuding an ancient aura, as if searching for something.

"Ugh..."

Xi Nian suddenly clutched her head and let out a painful cry.

Hmm!?

Seeing this, Gu Yuan and Yun Qingci quickly supported her.

"Xi Nian, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Gu Yuan asked with some nervousness, while Yun Qingci also looked at Xi Nian with concern.

"I... I'm fine... I just felt that within that Lightning Tribulation, there seems to be some kind of existence. It's coming for me. Gu Yuan, Qing Ci, you two leave quickly. That existence is definitely not something we can contend with."

Xi Nian's brow furrowed tightly, and a hint of panic appeared on her pretty face.

She had originally thought that this time she would only have to face the Sect's punishment.

If that were the case, she would simply resign from her position as Saintess and then leave the Sect with Gu Yuan.

But Xi Nian never expected that the current situation seemed to have exceeded her expectations.

The existence within that Lightning Tribulation was definitely not something they could contend with.

She couldn't let Qing Ci and Gu Yuan be dragged down because of her.

Hearing her words, before Gu Yuan could speak, Yun Qingci slapped the table and said:

"Xi Nian, what kind of talk is that? Since I, Yun Qingci, decided to accompany you here, there's no such thing as running away."

Yun Qingci's pretty face was full of seriousness as she said earnestly:

"A Disciple of the Liyue Sword Sect, no matter what powerful enemy they encounter, will always draw their sword upon meeting them. The sword in my hand absolutely does not allow me to run away!"

Little Noodle truly lived up to being one of the Disciples of the Liyue Sword Sect.

Her way of doing things was exactly the same as Luoying's.

Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the lightning in the sky ahead that seemed to contain endless heavenly might, and gave a light laugh.

"Xi Nian, have you forgotten what I told you? I came here this time specifically to resolve this matter for you. Trust me, no matter what we encounter, I'm here."

Xi Nian looked at Yun Qingci and Gu Yuan, bit her lip, and gave a soft "mm".

If she really encountered some irresistible existence, even if she died, she would never allow anything to happen to Qing Ci and Gu Yuan.

Xi Nian silently made up her mind.

"Eldest Senior Sister... You, how could you really come back? Leave quickly, the Sect is very wrong right now!"

"Yes, Eldest Senior Sister, you, you should quickly leave with this Young Sect Master Gu, otherwise..."

"Are you Gu Yuan? Hmph, you better not let Eldest Senior Sister down!"

After the three of them got off the aircraft, a group of Xi Nian's Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters swarmed up outside the gates of the Taiyi Dao Sect.

Their faces were full of concern for Xi Nian, and their words urged her to leave quickly.

Xi Nian shook her head gently; if she left now, these Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters would surely suffer as a result.

She was about to say something when she saw the Sect Master approach her.

"Xi Nian, you... you still came back. Alas, it's truly... an ill-fated relationship."

Sect Master Zhao Su looked at Xi Nian with pity, then glanced at Gu Yuan beside her, and finally let out a heavy sigh.

"What 'ill-fated relationship'? Sect Master Zhao Su, Xi Nian and Gu Yuan are mutually in love. You're not going to try to break up the happy couple, are you?"

Yun Qingci said from the side, hugging her longsword.

Although Gu Yuan and Xi Nian often showed off their affection and disgusted her when they were together.

In Little Noodle's heart, she had actually already accepted the fact that these two were a couple.

Hearing the Sect Master of the Taiyi Dao Sect say such a thing now, Little Noodle's temper flared up.

Hearing Little Noodle stand up for him, Gu Yuan rubbed her small head with some amusement before looking at Sect Master Zhao Su.

"Sect Master Zhao Su, I am the Personal Disciple of Empress Qiongyue and the Young Sect Master of the Jade Moon Sect, Gu Yuan. I have long heard of your great name, and seeing you today, it is indeed well-deserved."

Although he had brought Xi Nian and Little Noodle here today to crash the party.

But, as the saying goes, courtesy before force.

Moreover, the person in front of him was Xi Nian's Sect Master, so he had to at least go through the motions.

"Jade Moon Sect... Heh... Even Empress Qiongyue might not be able to stop the Emissary..."

Zhao Su murmured in a low voice, then gave a bitter smile.

However, just as she was about to speak, Gu Yuan waved his hand at her and looked into the distance.

"Sect Master Zhao Su, let the person behind you come out and talk. Heh, I want to see exactly what kind of person can make the Taiyi Dao Sect so deathly silent with fear."

There was not a hint of fear in Gu Yuan's voice, only calmness.

Oh?

Xia Gehuang, hidden in a corner, couldn't help but nod with some satisfaction upon seeing this scene.

Not bad, this is the person I took a fancy to.

Only... Little Fellow, are you truly fearless because you have something to rely on, or are you... just bluffing?

Xia Gehuang smiled silently and continued to watch the scene before her.

As Gu Yuan's voice fell, a voice filled with anger rang out from the horizon:

"How dare an ant be so arrogant! I sentence you to death!"

A figure clad in golden armor appeared on the horizon, and then a spear containing infinite lightning power instantly shot towards Gu Yuan.

This scene happened so quickly that no one could react at all.

"Gu Yuan!"

Yun Qingci and Xi Nian cried out at the same time.

As the smoke cleared, Gu Yuan was seen standing where he was, completely unharmed.

The spear that had just been manifested from lightning was actually suspended in front of Gu Yuan.

As Gu Yuan reached out a finger and lightly touched it, the lightning spear instantly disintegrated, collapsed, and dissipated.

What!?

Zhao Su looked at the scene before her in disbelief.

This... how is this possible!

How could there be a Cultivator in this world who could block a strike from that Emissary?

Even though it was just a casual attack from the Emissary.

But... the status was different; the energy contained within was simply beyond what the Cultivators of this world could imagine.

But... this Young Sect Master of the Jade Moon Sect had actually blocked it so easily.

Just who... is he!?

The figure in the golden armor was also somewhat stunned to see this scene.

In those eyes that were always indifferent, a look of confusion appeared for the first time.

"Who... are you? Heavenly Dao power, you cannot possibly block it..."

His voice was filled with confusion; as a heavenly dao incarnation walking in the human world, He had never encountered such a situation.

Gu Yuan only gave a light laugh after hearing His words.

You know nothing of the System's power!

Yes, just now, Gu Yuan had directly activated the invincible state provided by the System.

The System's invincible state would trigger automatically when Gu Yuan was executing a Rescue Mission.

At other times, Gu Yuan could also trigger it, but there would be a time limit.

For example, right now, the duration of Gu Yuan's invincible state was only one hour.

But... that was more than enough.
