Chapter 162: Seeing Tantai Qingxuan Again, Her Grievance

However, suppressing the Dharma Corpses was not a simple matter; it required time to discuss the specific details and to gather various major forces to participate. As the leading Sect in the Qiongsang Region, Qiankun Dao Sect also needed to bear some responsibility.

Mu Qianyang comforted the old King of the Dayu Imperial Dynasty for a while, then sent him away to rest and recuperate, promising to notify him once a decision was made.

The old King of the Dayu Imperial Dynasty merely sought protection; as for restoring the ancestral temples and the nation, it was already impossible. Even if the Dharma Corpses were repelled and eradicated, the Dayu Imperial Dynasty would cease to exist.

After the people of the Dayu Imperial Dynasty settled down in the Qiankun Dao Sect, they marveled at the snow-covered mountain peak within the Sect. Amidst the cold aura, their hearts were also filled with sorrow and remembrance, both for their lost homeland and for Tantai Qingxuan's deep affection.

Different sorrowful emotions seemed to resonate here.

At the edge of the Qiongsang Region, a spatial rift opened, and Gu Shengge stepped out.

Finally, he had returned to the Qiongsang Region!

He immediately headed towards the Qiankun Dao Sect. In just a few days and nights, Gu Shengge arrived back at the Qiankun Dao Sect late at night. From afar, he saw a snow-capped mountain, strikingly conspicuous among the beautiful peaks of the Qiankun Dao Sect.

And if he wasn't mistaken, this should be Qingxuan Peak!

Gu Shengge, puzzled, quickly rushed towards Qingxuan Peak. With the Dao Child token, he arrived at Qingxuan Peak unimpeded.

As soon as he approached, he felt an boundless chill Attack, after all, it was the snow and ice left by a Void Refining realm expert, even Cultivators could not bear it.

After landing, Gu Shengge walked towards Tantai Qingxuan's palace, leaving two deep lines of footprints in the snow.

Gu Shengge wanted to call out to Tantai Qingxuan, but he hesitated, unsure of what to say or do. Was this the feeling of being nervous when nearing home?

After a brief hesitation, Gu Shengge resolutely arrived at the palace at the peak. Upon nearing, Gu Shengge clearly sensed Tantai Qingxuan's aura, believing that she, too, sensed his.

Gu Shengge walked to the outside of the palace, looking at the tightly closed palace doors. Just as he was about to open the door and enter, the person inside opened it first.

Gu Shengge came face to face with Tantai Qingxuan’s flawless, incomparably beautiful face, feeling a wave of beauty impact that made him gasp for breath.

Tantai Qingxuan's expression was emotionless, her gaze cold. If not for her hurried breathing, Gu Shengge would have truly thought she had no emotional fluctuations at all.

Tantai Qingxuan suddenly raised her hand, wrapped it around Gu Shengge's neck, and pressed her forehead against his.

"Where did you go? I couldn't find you at all..."

She said this calmly, but Gu Shengge sensed a hint of grievance within her words.

Her jade hand, wrapped around Gu Shengge, was still trembling slightly, filled with tension and unease. Such intense emotional fluctuations were unprecedented.

Gu Shengge raised his hand to embrace her slender waist, revealing her exaggerated figure's true allure.

"I'm sorry, Qingxuan."

The palace gate closed. Gu Shengge picked up Tantai Qingxuan, wanting to find a place to sit, but found that the entire palace was covered in a layer of ice...

"Revered Master, why is there no place to sit?"

Tantai Qingxuan's beautiful, cold expression cracked slightly, and she said with shame and anger, "You just got back and you're already thinking about those things. Can't you control yourself?"

Gu Shengge looked utterly confused: "Huh? Revered Master, I was talking about a seat! Look, it's all ice everywhere, where do we sit?"

For the first time, Tantai Qingxuan felt embarrassed. She turned her pretty face and buried it in Gu Shengge's embrace, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.

Gu Shengge inhaled the fragrant scent emanating from Tantai Qingxuan, a smile playing on his lips.

"Since Revered Master is so impatient, then let's not waste any more time."

The palace was filled with ice everywhere, like mirrors, reflecting a unique scenery. Extreme cold and scorching heat intertwined.

"Revered Master, open your eyes."

Tantai Qingxuan, enticed by Gu Shengge, opened her eyes. The scene reflected in the mirror made her already delicate and alluring face even redder and more tempting. The extreme cold in front of her and the intense heat behind her amplified her senses infinitely…

The next day, the two of them didn't get up until noon.

Gu Shengge's hand gently stroked Tantai Qingxuan's back. The weakened Tantai Qingxuan whispered, "Stop messing around. The Sect has been looking for you these past few days. You should go and tell Emperor Yang!"

Gu Shengge reluctantly got up. Tantai Qingxuan said helplessly, "Alright, arrange things, and then come back. What you said last night, this Revered Master... this Revered Master can try to..."

Gu Shengge's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Has this Revered Master ever lied to you?" Tantai Qingxuan rolled her eyes at him.

After washing up, Gu Shengge immediately went to the Sect Master's Hall. Emperor Yang was discussing with the Elders about dealing with the Dharma Corpses of the Dayu Imperial Dynasty.

During this time, they had sent many Cultivators to the Dayu Imperial Dynasty and gathered a lot of information. Those Dharma Corpses came from Mingchuan Province, their strength was unfathomable, possibly having reached Void Refining or even higher levels.

In fact, just from the fact that they destroyed a powerful Dynasty occupying three provinces in just a few months, one could glimpse the truth. But now that it was truly confirmed, the pressure on them surged.

As they were anxious and hesitant, Gu Shengge's figure appeared before them. Several Elders quickly rubbed their eyes, wondering if they were too anxious and thus experiencing hallucinations.

Emperor Yang, Mu Qianyang, also widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Little Gu, is it really you?"

In his eyes, a few tears welled up. He truly cared for Gu Shengge, and now seeing Gu Shengge safe, he was happier than anyone.

"Uncle Mu, it's me." Gu Shengge was also moved.

"You stinky brat! When did you come back! Why didn't you tell us earlier if you were alright!"

Gu Shengge didn't dare to say that he had returned last night, only saying that he had just returned.

Then he truthfully recounted how he had been injured and recuperated for a while. Only then did Mu Qianyang's emotions calm down.

"It's good that you're safe, it's good!"

"Oh, right, have you gone to see your Revered Master? Look at what a mess that perfectly good Qingxuan Peak has become."

Gu Shengge said with a hint of guilt, "Yes, I did. Revered Master already knows I'm back."

Gu Shengge then inquired why they looked so troubled and grim-faced.

Upon learning about the troubles in the Dayu Imperial Dynasty, Gu Shengge felt nothing in particular, though a face flashed across his mind—Su Beihuang, the Princess of the Sibei Royal Mansion in the Dayu Imperial Dynasty. That was his only connection to the Dayu Imperial Dynasty.

However, he was somewhat interested in the Dharma Corpses from Mingchuan Province. Perhaps it was related to that matter.
