287: Chapter 284: Fishhook appears again, suspected to be a swordsman

Jun Mengqing looked at the wary Gu Shengge and chuckled, "Benefactor, I am leaving. However, I won't give up on pursuing you. This temporary departure is only to become a better version of myself, so that I will have the confidence to stand by your side when the time comes!"

Gu Shengge naturally supported this wholeheartedly. Jun Mengqing was the Intercepting Heaven Sect Holy Maiden and the Young Emperor of Qingqiu; both factions possessed incredibly powerful foundations. In comparison, staying by his side was indeed not ideal... "Fine, then I wish you a bright future! No matter what happens, and regardless of whether we can handle it, you must tell me. I will bear it with you!" Gu Shengge said.

Hearing this, Jun Mengqing's eyes filled with hope. "Alright, I'll find you if anything happens. If you dare to refuse then, you're dead!"

Jun Mengqing did not linger. Given the current situation, it was impossible for Gu Shengge to be with her, so staying here was pointless.

After Jun Mengqing left, Gu Shengge finally released Pei Yuhan. Compared to Jun Mengqing, Pei Yuhan no longer had a Sect to rely on.

Thus, Gu Shengge didn't mind becoming her support. The same went for Tantai Qingxuan; she was now a member of Qingxuan Peak.

As soon as Pei Yuhan emerged, she saw Jun Mengqing leaving quickly, disappearing from sight in moments. Her expression was complex.

She looked at Gu Shengge and asked in confusion, "Daoist Seed, has Jun Mengqing left?"

Gu Shengge nodded. "Yes, she has gone."

After several months of reflection, the flame that had ignited in Pei Yuhan's heart had been extinguished, and she had gradually rediscovered her former goals.

Right now, there was only one thing she wanted to accomplish: to rebuild the High Heaven Sword Sect, so that the displaced Disciples of the High Heaven Sword Sect would have a place to stay.

Of course, the prerequisite for all of this was having a sufficiently powerful cultivation and comprehension of the Sword Dao.

However, as it stood, the power she possessed was completely insufficient for this step. Therefore, it was best not to think about things like love and romance for now.

After a period of silence, Pei Yuhan stepped forward and cupped her hands toward Gu Shengge. "Daoist Seed, I know I was wrong. I hope to continue Cultivating by your side, and I ask for your guidance."

Gu Shengge waved his hand. "It's good that you've figured it out. In a person's life, one can make mistakes, but one must never choose the wrong goal. You must know what you want and what suits you."

Hearing this, Pei Yuhan said solemnly, "I understand, Daoist Seed. You look like you are about to go on a long journey?"

Gu Shengge summoned Jin Xi and nodded. "That's right. We're leaving now. Is that alright?"

Pei Yuhan did not hesitate. "Yes, it's fine! Wherever the Daoist Seed goes, Yuhan will follow."

Gu Shengge and Pei Yuhan mounted Jin Xi and soared into the clouds. The golden divine light and Dragon might caused the entire Qiankun Taoist Sect to tremble.

Sensing that Gu Shengge was leaving, Emperor Yang rushed out grumbling and said crossly, "You little brat, didn't I tell you to let me know before you left? Why are you just running off like this!"

Gu Shengge's voice drifted down from above. "Sect Master, haven't I already given you the message? Otherwise, how could you have sensed my departure so quickly?"

Emperor Yang's face turned terribly dark upon hearing this, and he snapped, "Fine, fine, fine, Gu Shengge! Wait until you get back and see if I don't break your legs!"

"Uncle Mu, let's talk about that when I return!"

Jin Xi continued to ascend, entering a spatial tunnel. His figure suddenly vanished, disappearing from sight.

Below, Emperor Yang watched him leave with his own eyes, feeling quite helpless.

In the Zhongtian Star Region, Gu Shengge now had a route chosen and traveled quickly with Pei Yuhan.

Within the spatial tunnel, Gu Shengge moved rapidly with Pei Yuhan while remaining alert to his surroundings. After all, on the spatial path leading to the Zhongtian Star Region, he had encountered attacks from that mysterious entity more than once.

Pei Yuhan was very confused to see him so guarded.

"Young Master, I have never seen you so vigilant. Do you have some terrifying enemy here?"

Facing Pei Yuhan's inquiry, Gu Shengge told her everything.

Pei Yuhan's face was full of alarm when she heard about that terrifying entity. "To think such a being exists. What is he fishing for? Fishing for people? It's a bit inconceivable."

Suddenly, Gu Shengge's Double Pupils flickered with divine light, and a golden energy barrier condensed around him.

Boom!

With a loud bang, a silver hook dropped straight down and slammed into the energy barrier Gu Shengge had formed. In the violent collision, an explosive sound rang out, making Pei Yuhan's body tremble with fright.

Pei Yuhan looked in shock at the Silver Fish Hook falling from the infinite firmament, her face turning slightly pale. Gu Shengge had only just mentioned it, and she hadn't expected it to appear so soon.

According to what Gu Shengge said, this thing was limitlessly terrifying and would likely be difficult to deal with.

The Silver Fish Hook seemed somewhat annoyed at failing to catch Gu Shengge. A patch of mist suddenly surged from it, attacking the energy barrier Gu Shengge had condensed.

The energy barrier shook violently, and the energy within began to flicker incessantly. Gu Shengge felt his power being devoured by that gray mist, reaching the point of near exhaustion in an instant.

Seeing this, Gu Shengge decisively utilized the Great Dao of Space, instantly creating tens of thousands of spatial barriers in front of him, isolating the Silver Fish Hook tens of millions of miles away.

At the same time, Gu Shengge quickly fled with Pei Yuhan, wanting to escape the spatial tunnel.

He truly lacked the confidence to fight that being; the best outcome was to avoid the battle.

After the Silver Fish Hook was separated, there was a brief pause. But in the next second, Chaos Divine Might also emerged from it, suddenly triggering a blue Energy Ghost Mask. Under the light of the Energy Ghost Mask, the spatial barriers ahead all shattered and collapsed. In an instant, very few of those energy barriers remained.

Fortunately, at this moment, Gu Shengge had found a relatively weak spatial wall. He shattered it with a punch and dove out with Pei Yuhan.

His expression was extremely poor, and his gaze was dark. "That old bastard, next time I see him, I'll definitely give him a piece of my mind!"

He was truly enraged by the entity. Attacking him repeatedly—did the being just take him for a pushover?

Pei Yuhan steadied herself, her expression also grave. "Young Master, I just sensed a supreme Sword Intent on that fishhook, like the vast waves of an ocean. My current Sword Dao comprehension is like a drop in the ocean before that aura, perhaps even less."

Gu Shengge's expression became even more serious. He hadn't expected that thing to carry a Sword Dao aura. If it was a Sword Dao powerhouse, then it would be trouble. These fellows could observe a sword for hundreds or thousands of years and were the most patient. Now that he was targeted, it would likely be hard to shake them off.
