120: Chapter 118: Gu Shengge mocks herself, the Saintess of Jietian comes

Chapter 118: Gu Shengge's Self-Mockery, Jietian Saintess Visits

Gu Shengge's face showed a hint of awkwardness; what he had done at Lingxiao Sword Sect was not exactly a good deed, as he had killed their Disciple yet still made them feel grateful.

To be honest, Gu Shengge felt that he was not much different from Tang San in Douluo II at that time.

Tang San in Douluo II trained Huo Yuhao, tormenting him in various ways, yet Huo Yuhao was still grateful and considered himself a dog.

He had killed Lin Tian at Lingxiao Sword Sect, and the Sword Sect Old Ancestor and the Sword Revered Master still thanked him for leaving a wisp of his Soul Light and even gave him Spirit Treasures.

It was truly embarrassing. Even with Gu Shengge’s thick skin, he felt like he was being hypocritical.

However, if Gu Shengge were to deal with Lin Tian's matter again, he would still kill him and still ensure that Lingxiao Sword Sect had no complaints.

As the Dao Son of Qiankun Taoist Sect, Gu Shengge represented the Dao Sect's face when he was outside.

If the Dao Son was humiliated, it also meant that the Dao Sect's face was damaged. If Lin Tian was not killed, it would be difficult to guarantee that he would not cause trouble again in the future, or even backstab the Dao Sect.

As an ally of the Dao Sect, the Sword Sect could not be allowed to resent the Dao Sect, so they had to be given a big stick first, and then a sweet date.

This was the most basic way of taming people.

Whether it was called hypocrisy or false kindness, Gu Shengge did not care. What he cared about was him, and the face and survival of the Dao Sect!

As the Dao Son of the Dao Sect, he naturally had to plan for the Dao Sect!

"Uncle Mu, I encountered many demonic cultivators causing chaos in Qian Heavenly Province. Although the Dao Sect Disciples suppressed them, the effect was not significant, and many Disciples even sacrificed themselves. Moreover, there were also hidden hands from other Sects in Qiongsang involved. You know all of this, right?"

Gu Shengge informed Emperor Yang of what he had seen and heard on the road. Emperor Yang nodded, his face showing sorrow.

"Yes, I know all of this…"

The extinguished soul lamps in the Hall of Life Souls were all telling him that Dao Sect Disciples were sacrificing themselves to eliminate demons at all times. Every time he saw a soul lamp extinguish, he felt heartbroken and regretted his incompetence.

As the Sect Master, he could not protect the lives and deaths of his Disciples.

Emperor Yang felt so useless, just like back then, he could only watch Le Yao die powerlessly.

Noticing that the Sect Master was in a low mood, Gu Shengge felt the same way.

So many Disciples perished. Their parents sent them to Qiankun Taoist Sect, but the Dao Sect failed to protect them. How heartbroken would their relatives be if they knew!

Gu Shengge: "Sect Master, you know about the joint ambush by Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace and Cang Hall, right?"

Emperor Yang nodded again: "Cang Hall has been secretly investigating the Legacy of the Great Power all these years. They suspect that you obtained the Legacy of the Great Power, which is why you rose so quickly."

"Some time ago, a Vice Hall Revered Master from Cang Hall came to our Sect, demanding to know about the Legacy. Although I repeatedly stated that the Dao Sect had not obtained any Legacy, he did not believe it, unless you went to Cang Hall to allow them to search your soul and investigate thoroughly, then they would believe it."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shengge immediately felt humiliated. His Heavy Pupils revealed anger, and he said sharply:

"A mere Cang Hall, with only three to five Soul Transformation cultivators and a half-crippled Void Refining cultivator, dares to be so arrogant, asking this Lord to let them search his soul to prove it? They are courting death!"

Emperor Yang told him to calm down and not to get angry, as anger harms the body.

"Even if Cang Hall and Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace join forces, it is not a major crisis for the Dao Sect."

"What about Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace? What about Cang Hall? Together, they are only one and a half Void Refining cultivators. The Old Ancestor is already at the second Realm of Void Refining, stronger than the Xuanhuang Old Ancestor, and your Revered Master is also about to Breakthrough to Void Refining. At that time, our Dao Sect will have two Void Refining powerhouses, and they will not be a threat."

"My Revered Master is about to Breakthrough to Void Refining!"

Hearing this news, Gu Shengge was greatly surprised. Tantai Qingxuan had been in seclusion for so long. He originally thought she was still cultivating, but he didn't expect her to be already advancing towards Void Refining.

Emperor Yang: "The Old Ancestor said it himself. At most, in two months, Junior Sister Tantai will be able to Breakthrough to Void Refining. At that time, it will be the time for us to settle scores with Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace and Cang Hall!"

"Two more months? That's too long."

Gu Shengge was not very satisfied when he heard this. In two months, how many more Dao Sect Disciples would sacrifice themselves!

Emperor Yang knew what he was thinking, but there was nothing he could do. This time, the enemy was too well prepared.

On the surface, the Tianmo Domain invaded Qiankun Double States, and secretly, the five major Sects were playing dirty.

Even his attempts to contact other Sects for assistance during this period were rejected for various reasons.

This was a carefully prepared conspiracy, intended to take down Qiankun Taoist Sect in one fell swoop.

Gu Shengge: "Uncle Mu, what about Xuantian Tower? If the Dao Sect asks them for help, they won't refuse, will they?"

Emperor Yang shook his head: "Xuantian Tower also refused. Senior Cang Ming's poison has acted up again, and he is currently in seclusion. The Nascent Divinity Celestial Being of Xuantian Tower needs to protect Senior Cang Ming, so they can only send resources to aid us."

Gu Shengge's Heavy Pupils narrowed. He had not expected the mastermind to be so meticulous, even calculating the time when Senior Cang Ming's strange poison would act up.

"What a colossal net!"

Emperor Yang sighed. Currently, except for the Old Ancestor who had not moved and a few Elders who were still in the Sect, the Dao Sect could be said to have sent out all its forces, yet it was still struggling.

To break the deadlock, they could only wait for Tantai Qingxuan to Breakthrough to Void Refining.

Gu Shengge also fell silent, contemplating how to break the deadlock in the shortest possible time.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, the Holy Maiden of Jietian requests an audience!"

Suddenly, an Elder appeared outside the hall, reporting in a hurried voice.

Emperor Yang and Gu Shengge turned their heads simultaneously, their faces showing surprise. The Jietian Saintess, what did she mean by coming at this time?

Emperor Yang: "Please invite her in quickly."

Soon, a graceful and enchanting figure walked into the Sect Leader Hall, followed by two powerful figures, both clearly Soul Transformation powerhouses, and their Realms were not low.

"This humble one, Jun Mengqing, greets Sect Master Qiankun, and Senior Benefactor~"

Jun Mengqing, dressed in a pink and white ruqun, was enchanting and charming. She smiled and bowed to Emperor Yang, but her eyes looked at Gu Shengge, her foxy eyes blinking slightly, full of spring and allure, and a hint of longing.

Emperor Yang nodded. It was his first time seeing the Holy Maiden of Jietian. He praised her:

"I have long heard that the Saintess is exceptionally beautiful and possesses the talent of a Heavenly Fox. Seeing you today, it is indeed true. May I ask what brings the Saintess here today?"

Gu Shengge also looked at Jun Mengqing and showed a slight smile, saying warmly: "Mengqing, why are you here? I apologize, the Dao Sect has been in chaos recently, so I cannot entertain you well. Please forgive me."

Before their true intentions were revealed, he and Jun Mengqing still had to keep up appearances.

Jun Mengqing smiled: "Senior Mu, you flatter me. Senior Benefactor, you are too kind. This humble one has come precisely for the chaos in Qiankun."

"Oh, Saintess, please speak." Emperor Yang became interested. Could it be that Jietian Sect was going to help Qiankun Taoist Sect?

Gu Shengge, however, became wary.

No good deed goes unpunished.

What kind of trick was this foxy woman playing now?

Jun Mengqing: "I wonder if Senior Mu has noticed that no Sect is willing to aid Qiankun Taoist Sect, and even the Sects that have always been on good terms are unable to help due to various reasons."

"The Saintess knows?"

Emperor Yang's expression became serious. He also wanted to know why.

Jun Mengqing: "To be frank, the mastermind behind the targeting of Qiankun Taoist Sect is none other than the Nine Realms Alliance of Zhongtian Region."

"Nine Realms Alliance!"

"Nine Realms Alliance?"
