171: Chapter 169: Qiongsang Sects Gather Together

Everyone's expression froze. Going to visit those Old Ancestors? This was an extremely risky endeavor. The three people sent before were all experts of the Dao Integration Realm, yet they were still killed and devoured by the Corpse Dao Old Ancestor.

Now, even if the Realm Master were to go, they would still be extremely worried.

"Realm Master, given the current state of the Old Ancestors, it's better to leave them alone for a while. Approaching them proactively might not be a good thing!" a Worship reminded.

The Realm Master's expression was calm, and his words were gentle: "It's fine. The Old Ancestors have just Awakened and are indeed ignorant, but the Lord will forgive them and awaken them."

Afterward, the Realm Master disregarded everyone's dissuasion, stepped out, and headed to the marked location of the Corpse Dao Old Ancestors.

At the Qiankun Dao Sect, after Yang Huang finished his conversation with Gu Shengge, he issued a summons to the entire Qiongsang Domain, inviting all forces in the Qiongsang Domain to jointly resist the potential calamity of the Corpse Dao that could arrive at any time.

After the summons was issued, quite a few forces responded. The Qiankun Dao Sect's reputation was indeed resounding enough now.

Of course, more likely, they had all heard about what happened in the Mingchuan State and the Dayu Imperial Dynasty. An Imperial Dynasty with hundreds of thousands of years of Legacy, occupying three states, could be easily annihilated, so they naturally felt their own precarious situation.

As various Sect forces arrived, Gu Shengge treated them with extreme indifference, not even bothering to meet them.

When the Heavenly Demon Domain invaded Qiankun Dual States, how difficult was the Qiankun Dao Sect's survival? Yet, who came to help? Some even fanned the flames behind the scenes.

Yang Huang told him to let bygones be bygones and not to mention past events for now, so he simply spent his days Dual Cultivating on Qingxuan Peak, not bothering to go out.

As more and more Sects and Dynasties arrived, those who still harbored resentment about Gu Shengge and Tantai Qingxuan's annihilation of the Heavenly Demon Domain also began to take action. Every day, people wanted to come to Qingxuan Peak to pay their respects to Gu Shengge and Tantai Qingxuan.

Tantai Qingxuan knew that Gu Shengge didn't want to see them. With a thought, the myriad Daos converged, and heavy snow fell on Qingxuan Peak, directly forming Dao pattern Restrictions. Apart from the people of the Qiankun Dao Sect, no one could enter. Only then did they finally get some peace.

However, the people from those Sects and Dynasties clearly wouldn't give up so easily. Taking advantage of the waiting period for other Sects, they constantly requested Mu Qianyang to arrange visits with Gu Shengge and Tantai Qingxuan.

Mu Qianyang was actually holding back some anger in his heart. These people stood by and did nothing when the Qiankun Dao Sect was in trouble, so what did they mean now? They wanted to seek the protection of the Qiankun Dao Sect, wanting Gu Shengge and Tantai Qingxuan to act?

He sneered inwardly. They wanted protection without giving anything in return. How was that possible!

Mu Qianyang directly rejected their requests, telling them to wait patiently for the meeting to begin.

The more they were blocked, the more curious they became, even secretly peeking at Qingxuan Peak.

At first, they only spied from the heavy snow, but their Cultivation was simply unable to penetrate the snow curtain within, unable to see the deepest parts, only the falling snowflakes.

Some Sects, unable to see the situation on Qingxuan Peak clearly, even took a risk, sending a Nascent Soul Realm Elder to personally ascend Qingxuan Peak, wanting to investigate.

The person went at night, and as soon as he stepped onto Qingxuan Peak, he was frozen, his life force sealed, and he had already perished.

After four Nascent Soul Realm Elders successively perished, they finally quieted down a bit, no longer daring to probe Qingxuan Peak.

On Qingxuan Peak, within the snow curtain, Gu Shengge chuckled disdainfully: "These fools, are they that curious? Do they so urgently want to know our Cultivation level? Even willing to sacrifice their lives for it."

Tantai Qingxuan was cold and indifferent to everything except Gu Shengge. Seeing Gu Shengge unhappy, a hint of displeasure flashed across her face: "These people caused you so much trouble. Letting them die so quickly, isn't that too easy for them?"

Gu Shengge was a little surprised. He rubbed her head and said with a smile: "Let it go! It's not a big deal anyway. They probably won't dare to investigate again in the future."

Only then did Tantai Qingxuan's expression soften. Otherwise, Gu Shengge was genuinely afraid that Tantai Qingxuan would torture someone to death, which would be too cruel and have a bad influence.

As the two conversed, Tantai Qingxuan frowned slightly, narrowing her eyes, seemingly seeing something that made her unhappy through the layers of snow curtain.

Gu Shengge followed her gaze and saw the young woman at the foot of the mountain; it was the Saintess of Jietian Sect, Jun Mengqing.

"The little fox is here to see you. Should we let her up?"

Gu Shengge nodded: "Let her come up! The Qiankun Dao Sect still owes her a favor from last time, so it's good to meet her."

"Rebellious Disciple, is it really not you who wants to see her?"

"It's really not." Gu Shengge's expression was calm, without the slightest sign of lying.

Below the snow curtain, Jun Mengqing seemed to hear their conversation, and her heart felt a pang of bitterness. Her benefactor was still as heartless and distant as ever!

She stepped into the snow curtain, and the many Cultivators behind her only felt that she was crazy. After all, in the past few days, quite a few Nascent Soul Cultivators had died on that first step.

As they secretly grumbled in their hearts, they were astonished to find that Jun Mengqing simply walked in and disappeared into the snow curtain.

Clearly, this woman was different; she could enter.

Behind, Xi Yao, the Saintess of Butian Sect, had a somewhat gritting-her-teeth expression.

She knew that with Jun Mengqing's relationship with Gu Shengge, she could definitely get in, but she certainly could not.

As Jun Mengqing's long-time rival, at this moment, many eyes had already fallen on her, as if to say, Jun Mengqing has gone up, as her rival, how can you still be here?

Xi Yao faced the gazes of the crowd, annoyed in her heart, cursing Jun Mengqing, but on the surface, she appeared calm and composed: "Ascending Qingxuan Peak is not a glorious matter. Why are you all so persistent? Isn't your purpose here to discuss with the Qiankun Dao Sect and jointly resist the calamity of the Corpse Dao?"

Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they withdrew their gazes. On the surface, this was indeed the case; it was the pretext for the various Sect forces.

But in reality, it was not. Their main intention was to seek protection, to seek the protection of Gu Shengge and Tantai Qingxuan.

The matter of the master and disciple suppressing the Heavenly Demon Domain and sweeping away all the major forces in the Heavenly Demon Domain was still vivid in their minds! Such power, for them now, meant a great savior.

If the Qiankun Dao Sect still made a move this time, perhaps the Corpse Dao calamity wouldn't be a big problem either, right?

Of course, the premise was that they were truly as miraculous as the legends said.

They still had doubts about the two's strength and did not fully trust them, which was why they kept sending people to investigate.

However, it seemed impossible to investigate thoroughly on their own now. It was better to see if they could indirectly inquire about it from others!

On Qingxuan Peak, Jun Mengqing had already arrived at the palace at the peak, where she saw Gu Shengge and Tantai Qingxuan boiling tea by the stove.
