198: Chapter 196: Slander me? Then shoot me to death!

"Retreat quickly!"

One of them shouted, and they swiftly fell back, but they were still a step too slow. A violent energy impact erupted, sending both of them flying. Half of one person's body was blasted away, and his Divine Soul was damaged.

The other person ran faster, but his Physical Body was also severely injured by the violent energy impact, and he kept vomiting blood.

Nie Ling had retreated when she noticed something was wrong. Now, she quickly went forward to treat the two.

The one who was vomiting blood stabilized after taking a Medicinal Pill, but the other person's body was already half shattered, making it difficult to save him.

Jun Mengqing looked helpless and took out a Medicinal Pill, telling her to give it to the person whose body was shattered.

After taking the Medicinal Pill, the person's injuries rapidly recovered. His shattered Physical Body healed at a visible speed, and in a short while, his Physical Body was restored, though he was much weaker.

Nie Ling said exasperatedly, "You really court death! It would have been much better to let the Saintess search that guy's Divine Soul. Now it's all ruined!"

The Disciple who was less injured said, "It's fine! There are still many such monsters, and our Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters are still fighting them!"

Nie Ling's gaze changed slightly, "Where?"

The two immediately led them there, though their bodies were a bit weak, and the city scenes they saw were probably still under the influence of the Law, so they often touched this and looked at that.

In a short while, they found four more people. They were surrounded by six-headed, four-armed monsters. Under the impact of the chilling evil Qi, they had already fallen into a disadvantage, and they were also injured, only resisting with great effort.

Jun Mengqing directly attacked, and a sharp divine light burst from her palm, repelling the six monsters.

However, her power was limited and did not severely injure these monsters, causing them to immediately change direction and charge towards Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing after being repelled.

Gu Shengge raised his hand, and lightning flashed. The next moment, several bolts of lightning struck down with a roar. Under the extremely potent and pure lightning energy, the charging monsters shattered with a boom, turning into black foul blood and perishing completely.

Those few people were all stunned by Gu Shengge's powerful methods, their faces full of shock.

"Alright, those who are injured should heal quickly. We still need to hurry later to save other Disciples, so don't delay here!"

Upon hearing this, everyone took out their respective healing Medicinal Pills and quickly recovered from their injuries.

In half a day, they had already rescued thirteen people, all of whom had some degree of injury.

Gu Shengge didn't bother with them, not because he was aloof, but because the way these people looked at him was a bit off, and they occasionally gave him wary glances, which made him very displeased.

Jun Mengqing, who had been by Gu Shengge's side, naturally also noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off, but those people only occasionally said ambiguous things, and it was unclear if they were specifically talking about Gu Shengge.

Of course, those words alone were enough for her to question everyone. Her eyes darkened, and she said in a deep voice,

"Everyone, Gu Shengge and I are Dao Companions. This is a fact. If you have any dissatisfaction or misunderstandings, you can directly tell us to our faces."

Her words were calm, trying to appear gentle.

However, the Disciples of the Jietian Sect still averted their gazes, not daring to speak out.

Gu Shengge stood coldly by the side. Under his Great Mind Art, their thoughts had long been known to him clearly.

But there was one thing he didn't understand: when did he bewitch Jun Mengqing? Why did everyone, like Nie Ling, think that he was the one who instigated Jun Mengqing not to be close to Lin Chen or even her fellow Disciples?

Regarding these things, Gu Shengge was too lazy to bother with them, and it was even less likely that he would explain.

Jun Mengqing looked at Gu Shengge with guilt, but found his expression normal, as if nothing had happened.

She felt even more guilty, her gaze turning slightly cold, and she said in a deep voice, "Since you all have so many opinions about me and my Dao Companion, then let us part ways here!"

When everyone heard that Jun Mengqing was leaving, they became anxious, as they feared they wouldn't be able to deal with those monsters without her.

Nie Ling quickly said, "Saintess, Saintess, please calm your anger. Everyone didn't mean it."

Jun Mengqing snorted coldly, "Didn't mean it? Then tell me, what exactly do you want to do!"

At this moment, a male Disciple shouted, "Saintess, isn't it true? You became distant from your fellow Disciples after having a Dao Companion, and you even shunned the Saint. Isn't this all instigated by Gu Shengge?"

As he said this, the Cultivators around him also chimed in.

"That's right! Saintess, everyone is speaking the truth, and it's useless for you to deny it!"

"Gu Shengge, as the Saintess's Dao Companion, you shouldn't only think about monopolizing the Saintess, but also consider the Saintess's importance to the Jietian Sect!"

The surrounding discussions grew increasingly chaotic and noisy, giving Gu Shengge a headache.

He slowly raised his eyes, staring at them with a cold gaze. An invisible pressure gradually emanated from his body, and he sneered, "Everyone, when did you see this Lord prevent your Saintess from participating in the affairs of the Jietian Sect? As for being distant from the Saint Lin Chen, that guy has feelings for Jun Mengqing; anyone who isn't blind can see that! Is she wrong to be distant from Lin Chen? Besides, this Lord didn't say anything at all!"

He slowly stepped forward, walking towards those Jietian Sect Disciples.

The male who spoke first said coldly, "But the Saint and the Saintess should be a pair. Why do you insist on breaking them up!"

"Who made that rule? You?" Gu Shengge walked up to him.

Fear arose in his heart, but when he looked back and saw so many fellow Disciples standing behind him, he suddenly felt emboldened again and said in a deep voice, "The previous generation's Saint and Saintess were!"

"What about the generation before that?" Gu Shengge asked.

This Jietian Sect Disciple's face showed a smug smile, "Of course, they were too!"

Gu Shengge continued, "Then what about the generation before that?"

The Disciple's expression froze, and he said with less confidence, "They... weren't together."

Gu Shengge raised his hand, and a large golden energy hand appeared, gripping his neck and lifting him from the ground.

"They weren't? Then you still dare to slander this Lord with an imaginary rule! Are you and Lin Chen very close? You're speaking up for him so much!"

No one expected Gu Shengge to suddenly attack. One by one, they eagerly wanted to stop Gu Shengge.

Upon hearing Gu Shengge mention Lin Chen, everyone looked confused, because this male Disciple was indeed one of Lin Chen's more trusted subordinates.

While they hesitated, the male Disciple's neck was already twisted by Gu Shengge, and his Divine Soul was crushed under the large energy hand, shattering with a boom, and he perished.

Everyone cried out in surprise. They had expected Gu Shengge to punish them, but they never imagined that he would actually kill someone directly!

And judging by his calm expression, it seemed as if he hadn't killed an Jietian Sect Disciple, but rather casually crushed an ant.
