Chapter 167: Returning to Qiankun Dao Sect, Su Beihuang Seeks an Audience

Gu Shengsong left Mingchuan Prefecture and returned directly to the Qiankun Dao Sect. The matter of the Corpse Demons was of great importance. Mingchuan Prefecture and the Dayu Dynasty had already fallen one after another, and their methods of infection were impossible to guard against. It was imperative to inform the Sect as soon as possible and make the necessary preparations.

The faces of Emperor Yang Mu Qianyang and the Sect Elders also became extremely grim after learning about the current situation of the Dayu Dynasty. Before Gu Shengsong returned, they had sent people to investigate, but no news had come back, and now it seemed they must have met a terrible fate.

Their expressions were somber, and their gazes deep. The Dayu Dynasty bordered the Qiankun Dao Sect. If the enemy truly came, the Qiankun Twin Prefectures would likely suffer greatly.

However, at present, the Qiankun Dao Sect seemed to only have Gu Shengsong and Tantai Qingxuan capable of stopping all this.

Of course, they might not even have that ability. The one Gu Shengsong encountered possessed the combat power of the Dao Integration Realm, and there might be even stronger existences among them!

If they encountered such terrifying existences, how would they respond?

Emperor Yang decided to first spread the news throughout the Qiongsang Domain. If possible, it would be best to invite all Sects and Imperial Dynasties to resist together, as this was not just a matter for the Qiankun Dao Sect, but something that threatened the entire Qiongsang Domain!

Gu Shengsong did not comment on their idea. From the current perspective, this idea was not mature and certainly could not be implemented.

To truly fight the Corpse Demons, the various great Sects would probably have to drag out their Old Ancestors. Therefore, before their fundamental interests were touched, most people would likely choose to observe.

The current attitude of the Qiankun Dao Sect was actually similar. After all, the disaster had not yet spread to their homeland. Although preparations were being made, it was not very realistic to go out and actively suppress it.

Gu Shengsong returned to Qingxuan Peak and happened to run into Wu Xuanyi. She was there to pay respects to her Revered Master Tantai Qingxuan. After Ye Chen's incident, she hadn't properly met Gu Shengsong. Most of the time, she would secretly peek from the shadows, never expecting to run into him head-on today.

“Daoist Gu…” She forced a smile.

Gu Shengsong nodded slightly and walked past her as if he had met a stranger, which made her heart ache.

Gu Shengsong didn't care about that. He returned to the palace on the peak and found Tantai Qingxuan.

“Revered Master, the matter you promised last time was deliberately dragged out and put off by you. This time, your disciple will not let you off again!”

Tantai Qingxuan leaned back, her exaggerated figure undulating gracefully, making one's Bloodline surge.

Perhaps having just seen Wu Xuanyi, her face still carried a cold aloofness. Hearing Gu Shengsong's inappropriate words, her expression grew colder: “Rebellious Disciple, a girl has come to see you many times these past few days. Don't you want to explain?”

Gu Shengsong was utterly astonished: “Looking for me? Are you sure? What girl?”

Tantai Qingxuan snorted coldly: “Someone from the Dayu Dynasty. She seems to be an old acquaintance of yours! How about it? Remember now?”

Gu Shengsong shook his head: “I don't know, I don't recognize her, I haven't heard of her. Revered Master, how long has it been since we Cultivated? Let's Cultivate quickly!”

Tantai Qingxuan snorted, wrapping her clothes tighter, looking as if she wouldn't let Gu Shengsong take advantage of her in the slightest.

Gu Shengsong grinned and sat down by Tantai Qingxuan's bed: “Tsk tsk, Revered Master, I didn't expect you to actually get jealous!”

“Rebellious Disciple! Stop with that nonsense! Your Revered Master is waiting for your explanation!”

“Rebellious Disciple! If you keep touching me, your Revered Master will not be polite to you!”

“Revered Master, I will slowly tell you the explanation you want.”

Yin and Yang combining, the six Qi controlling each other, Primordial Spirits intertwining—the sensation brought by Dual Cultivation when both their Cultivation bases had greatly improved was completely different.

The next day, below Qingxuan Peak, Su Beihuang arrived here again.

She was also a survivor of the Dayu Dynasty, but she had been seriously injured some time ago and had been recuperating, so she hadn't had a chance to come out.

Later, her injuries recovered somewhat, and she wanted to meet Gu Shengsong, but after going to Qingxuan Peak several times, she was told he wasn't there.

She didn't believe it at first, as she had just heard that Gu Shengsong had returned a while ago. How could he not be there now?

She thought the people of Qingxuan Peak were being perfunctory, but when the Prince personally went to the Sect Master's main hall to ask, he learned that Gu Shengsong had gone to investigate the Dayu Imperial Dynasty half a month ago and indeed hadn't returned, with no fixed date for his return.

She stood at the foot of the mountain, gazing up at Qingxuan Peak, feeling that today's Qingxuan Peak was exceptionally cold, yet it seemed to be mixed with some kind of extremely rigid and Yang Qi, which was very strange.

A fierce wind arose on Qingxuan Peak, and Su Beihuang felt a chill all over. Bored, she picked up a dry branch and drew on the snow. Unconsciously, two lines of text appeared on the snow: “Snowflakes fluttering, north wind whistling…”

Her hand paused, feeling even colder, and what was she doing with this behavior? So strange… She watched from the foot of the mountain for a long time, then withdrew her gaze and quietly left.

The next day, she came to the foot of Qingxuan Peak again. This time, she walked up. She always felt that Qingxuan Peak was different now; in the extreme cold, there was also a masculine aura.

She strolled to the peak. In the distant small pavilion, two figures leaned against each other.

Her pupils constricted. She saw clearly that it was Gu Shengsong; he had actually returned!

“Daoist Gu!” She couldn't help but call out.

Gu Shengsong heard the movement, turned his gaze to her, and Tantai Qingxuan, who was leaning in his arms, whispered: “She's here again. You explain what's going on to her yourself. I'm going back first.”

Tantai Qingxuan got up, her lotus steps moving lightly on the snow, and in an instant, she had disappeared from sight.

Gu Shengsong glanced at Su Beihuang from a distance and said indifferently: “Come here!”

Only then did Su Beihuang walk over and stand in front of Gu Shengsong. Gu Shengsong poured her a cup of hot tea and pushed it towards her.

“Su Beihuang, is it? If I remember correctly, we only met a few times!”

Gu Shengsong looked directly into her eyes. A trace of pain flashed across her delicate but almost bloodless pale face.

“Yes, Daoist Gu…”

Gu Shengsong said playfully: “Then, after the Princess arrived at the Qiankun Dao Sect, she came to Qingxuan Peak multiple times to find me. What exactly is your purpose? You are causing my Revered Master much trouble, do you understand?”

Su Beihuang's face grew even paler, no longer bearing its former bright confidence. Her lips trembled slightly, and she couldn't utter a single word.

Gu Shengsong frowned slightly, and his gaze also turned cold: “Speak your business, or go back! I don't have that much time to waste with you here.”

Only then did Su Beihuang anxiously say: “Daoist Gu, I want you to avenge the Dayu Imperial Dynasty, and to avenge my father!”
