397: Chapter 395: Zhongtian Star Region, Cangxuan Holy Land

Meng Qianyu was humble to the extreme, nearly prostrating herself.

Gu Shengge looked down at her: "I won't take you in."

Jun Mengqing heard the commotion and had already run to Gu Shengge's side. She said to the startled Meng Qianyu, who looked up: "Hehe, there are plenty of people who want to be a slave or maid for the Young Master. You wouldn't even get a spot in line."

Meng Qianyu was displeased, but she didn't dare show it on her face. Instead, she stared stubbornly at Gu Shengge and asked blankly: "I want to know, why?"

Jun Mengqing let out a light laugh: "In the Shengfeng World, you should be considered a top-tier heaven-favored daughter. In your eyes, the top Prodigies under heaven should be just like you. That only means your vision is too narrow. The Zhongtian Star Domain is vast and boundless, and there are countless figures like you."

Cui Xuaner, who was nearby, also stepped forward and smiled: "Do you think you can defeat me?"

Meng Qianyu shook her head. She had sensed Cui Xuaner's cultivation and combat power before; she was no match.

Cui Xuaner smiled: "Then that's right. Among the younger generation of the Cangxuan Holy Land, I can't even break into the top fifty. I suggest that you travel around and find another Sect or power. Don't even think about competing with Mengqing for favor."

Jun Mengqing's pretty face was full of resentment as she said crossly: "What are you talking about! Young Master Gu hasn't even taken an interest in me!"

Facing her resentful eyes, Gu Shengge turned around. His double pupils opened and closed, and a golden spatial portal was constructed: "It's time for us to leave."

Jun Mengqing said helplessly: "Where to? The Shengfeng Great World has collapsed."

"Hey, don't be in such a hurry to leave! Why not come with us to the Cangxuan Holy Land for a visit?" Cui Xuaner invited warmly.

Jun Mengqing hadn't returned to the Zhongtian Star Domain for a long time, and her heart was moved upon hearing this.

Gu Shengge did not object and nodded: "Fine, I also want to see the Prodigies of the core region of the Zhongtian Star Domain."

Gu Shengge had his own plans. The more children, more fortune system had suffered a great loss this time and likely wouldn't let it go. He didn't want to bring the flames of war to the Qiongsang Domain, so the Zhongtian Star Domain was the best choice.

Moreover, the Zhongtian Star Domain has spanned through the ages with countless foundations. Perhaps it could bring some unique surprises.

Jun Mengqing, Cui Xuaner, and the Cultivators of the Cangxuan Holy Land stepped into the portal. Gu Shengge set the specific coordinates and teleported away.

Meng Qianyu did not follow them. She just sat there, looking at them with a complex expression.

In the depths of Gu Shengge's eyes, the power of fate was flowing. His fate line and Meng Qianyu's had completely diverged, and there was no possibility of meeting again in this life. The Karma was settled.

In the Zhongtian Star Domain, various major Sects were shaken.

Among these Sects, their Saintesses had previously married the Intercepting Heaven Sect Holy Son and even given birth to children.

But suddenly, those Saintesses, Divine Maidens, and their children all died abruptly some time ago.

They didn't even leave behind any blood or essence. Their cultivation, blood vitality, and everything else had vanished so suddenly.

This left them bewildered. After deductions by the great powers within their Sects, they finally learned part of the reason: their Saintesses and children had actually been sacrificed!

This made them furious. Under heaven, within the Nine Domains, who was so arrogant as to dare use their Saintesses and Divine Maidens as sacrifices?

They must be executed!

In their anger, they continued to deduce, but they could no longer investigate. The Heavenly Secrets were obscured, and they were unable to perform further deductions.

Fortunately, those Cultivators who returned from their trials in the Shengfeng World brought the truth. Those Saintesses, Divine Maidens, and their children had all been sacrificed by the same person—that person was Lin Chen!

For a time, public indignation was stirred. The leaders of the major Sects all went to the Jietian Sect. In the end, it was unknown what deal they reached with the Jietian Sect, but after returning to their respective Sects, there was no further follow-up.

The major Sects all kept silent about the fall of their Saintesses and Divine Maidens, and the Jietian Sect completely removed Lin Chen's name from the Sect.

When Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing arrived at the Zhongtian Star Domain, the World Barrier was pitch black, which was completely different from the prosperous and dazzling scene Gu Shengge had imagined.

From the perspective of the spatial barrier, the Zhongtian Star Domain looked more like a dull, massive rock, like an elderly person in their twilight years.

After Cui Xuaner and the others activated the Realm Guide, the World Barrier in front of them became faint and transparent, revealing parts of the mountains and rivers inside.

As the group entered, Gu Shengge immediately felt an aura different from other Realms. The Spiritual Qi and Dao here were denser and heavier, and the laws of heaven and earth were more complete.

Of course, for Gu Shengge, who already possessed a great world, there wouldn't be a significant change.

The others were even less affected, as they were all natives of the Zhongtian Star Domain.

Upon entering the Zhongtian Star Domain, the group returned to the Cangxuan Holy Land.

An Elder of the Cangxuan Holy Land personally came out to greet them.

This fellow Cui Xuaner was no simpleton; she had told Meng Qianyu she couldn't even rank in the top fifty of the Cangxuan Holy Land.

In reality, she was a direct descendant of the previous Sect Master of the Cangxuan Holy Land, and her talent was top-notch, though she indeed wasn't in the first tier.

However, her status in the Cangxuan Holy Land was indeed honorable.

Elder Kuxuan of the Cangxuan Holy Land stepped forward nervously, a look of wanting to cry but having no tears on his face: "Oh, my little ancestor, ninety percent of the Cultivators who went to the Shengfeng World died in battle. I was truly worried. If your Soul Lamps hadn't remained lit, I would have planned to wake up Old Man Cui."

The other Elders were also still shaken. The previous Sect Master had abdicated to enter seclusion and sleep. Once he woke up, even the current Sect Master would have to show him great respect. If his only direct Bloodline had truly perished outside, they wouldn't be able to bear the consequences even with ten heads!

Seeing how pitiful they looked, Cui Xuaner couldn't bear it either: "Elders, it was just a few small accidents. It's fine. Am I not back alive now?"

The group was brought to the Xuanmu Peak, and Elder Kuxuan couldn't wait to ask about the events in the Shengfeng World.

His scrutinizing gaze also fell on Jun Mengqing and Gu Shengge. He was a bit puzzled; he felt as though he had seen Jun Mengqing before but couldn't remember.

Cui Xuaner did not hide it: "Elder Kuxuan, this is the Jietian Sect Saintess, Jun Mengqing. She hasn't been in the Zhongtian Star Domain for many years, so you might not remember."

Then, she looked at Gu Shengge: "This is Mengqing's friend."

Kuxuan's expression changed slightly. He already had some understanding of the events in the Shengfeng World; it seemed to be an internal war within the Jietian Sect, a struggle between the Saint and the Saintess.

And in this struggle, the name Gu Shengge was the most widely known. It was he who fought a bloody battle with Lin Chen, causing the collapse of the Shengfeng World.

Cui Xuaner didn't say Gu Shengge's name, and Elder Kuxuan didn't ask. Gu Shengge's involvement was significant; their great battle had affected the Prodigies and descendants of many Sects. In a sense, those people died at Gu Shengge's hands.

In short, the current Gu Shengge was like a hot potato that the Cangxuan Holy Land was unwilling to associate with deeply.

However, they were also unwilling to make an enemy of such a Prodigy. As for the friendship between the Disciples, they could turn a blind eye, considering it as forming a good connection.
