439: Chapter 437: Jun Mengqing's Crisis, the So-Called Divine Messenger

The expressions of the three changed abruptly. They felt that Gu Shengge might be angry because they had urged everyone to go out and help, and was now about to attack them. Bitter smiles appeared on their faces.

If Gu Shengge were to attack them, they would have no way to resist and could only wait for death.

A moment later, their eyes widened in shock. The Spirit Devouring Insects on their bodies were actually being stripped away.

Not only did Gu Shengge not attack them, but he even took action to help them remove the infestation of Spirit Devouring Insects!

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Then came an incomparable sense of guilt. Just moments ago, they were judging the heart of a gentleman with the mind of a scoundrel. They truly deserved to die!

While they were consumed by guilt and unease, Gu Shengge had already led his people away, leaving only the three of them inside the White Tower.

Seeing this, the three hurriedly followed. The group began to fan out in the direction they had come from, splitting up to search for Jun Mengqing and her party.

Within the thick clouds and mist, two Cultivators from the Cangxuan Holy Land followed Jun Mengqing. They were weak and exhausted, and the faint halos emitted by their life-bound Spirit Treasures could no longer hold out for much longer.

Seeing this, Jun Mengqing said bitterly, "Those beings seem to have been tracking my movements. Some kind of mark must have been placed on me. Let's part ways here; you two should flee for your lives separately."

Jun Mengqing felt helpless. Along the way, those fellows in white robes had been hunting them. No matter how far she fled, they could find her very quickly. It was definitely not safe to be near her.

This was also why she had separated from the main group earlier, choosing to travel with only these two female Disciples she was close to. But now, her strength had weakened to the extreme. If they continued to follow her, it would likely be a dead end.

"Saintess, do not speak such nonsense. Since we decided to follow you, we shall stay with you through life and death. How can we run away just because of unknown hardships?"

They firmly refused and drew closer to Jun Mengqing, showing no intention of leaving.

Jun Mengqing was quite helpless. It had been like this since she first left; they had kept a close eye on her, and she had been forced to take them along.

"Jie jie jie..."

"None of you need to leave. Just come back with us, obediently become our Divine Maiden, and be sacrificed to the High God!"

From within the mist, more than ten Cultivators dressed in white robes passed through the clouds and appeared before Jun Mengqing and the others.

The white robes they wore flickered with a faint, white divine light, blocking all external intrusions and preventing any harm from reaching them.

The group stood in the mist, looking down at Jun Mengqing and the two female Cultivators from the Cangxuan Holy Land. They were calm and composed, as if everything was under their control.

Jun Mengqing's beautiful eyes were filled with endless rage: "Do you know that I am the Saintess of the Jietian Sect and the Young Emperor of Qingqiu? Does your Ten Thousand Star Pavilion truly have no fear?"

Such a status was considered among the most prominent in the Zhongtian Star Domain. Unless there was a blood feud, few Cultivators would dare to provoke her.

The female Cultivators from the Cangxuan Holy Land also warned: "Can your Ten Thousand Star Pavilion withstand the wrath of the Jietian Sect and Qingqiu?"

The dozen or so white-robed Cultivators paused for a moment upon hearing this, then burst into loud laughter.

"Hahaha! Is Her Excellency the Saintess threatening us?"

"Ten Thousand Star Pavilion? What does the Ten Thousand Star Pavilion have to do with us? If you want to destroy it, then destroy it!"

"We are now supreme Divine Envoys, gods stationed in the mortal world by the High God. Even if we kill you, Jun Mengqing, so what?"

As they spoke, their formation had already dispersed, sealing off all possible directions Jun Mengqing could use to escape.

Rage burned in Jun Mengqing's beautiful eyes, and she no longer suppressed her power. Rather than being humiliated and sacrificed by them, it was better to fight to the end!

"Sword, come!"

With a wave of Jun Mengqing's hand, thirteen spiritual swords fanned out, constructing the Seven Kills Sword Array. It surged with Killing Intent, cold and bone-chilling.

"If you want to capture us, you'll have to see if you have the strength!"

Seeing this, the white-robed Divine Envoys looked at each other, their expressions turning solemn.

The Sword Intent and Killing Intent contained within were extremely dense and terrifying. If they wanted to break the array, they likely wouldn't be able to resolve it quickly.

Suddenly, they all looked up at the sky simultaneously, as if receiving some kind of command. The white light on their bodies grew increasingly dazzling, and the divine radiance within spread out, linking them all together.

The divine light on their bodies gradually underwent Fusion, forming a massive barrier of divine light. It contained a thick power of Seal and was flowing with Great Dao Divine Runes—seemingly the Dao of Light, holy and scorching.

The moment the white light spread, the surrounding mist actually receded. The Spirit Devouring Insects were even more suppressed, not daring to show the slightest hint of their presence as they hid within.

Jun Mengqing's sword array hummed and vibrated, fully prepared.

Boom!

Amidst a series of violent explosions, beams of white light smashed into the central sword array from all directions. The fierce energy impact collided with the sharp sword glows, creating ripples of energy.

The scorching energy fluctuations kicked up a large amount of mist, forming a massive pillar of clouds in the sky. Due to the interference of Law energy and Sword Intent, it flickered with white divine radiance, shining across a great distance.

Gu Shengge and Cui Xuaner were searching at high speed. When they saw the pillar of mist and light erupting in the distance, a flicker of suspicion and surprise crossed their eyes.

"There's a disturbance over there; let's go take a look." Gu Shengge changed direction and immediately accelerated toward the scene.

Cui Xuaner followed quickly. In less than half an hour, they reached the vicinity of the light pillar and saw the scene there.

A dozen or so fellows in white robes seemed to be besieging someone. Scorching energy and dazzling white light covered the central area, making it impossible to see clearly.

Gu Shengge's Double Pupils activated. Under his divine gaze, the scene inside became crystal clear. It was indeed Jun Mengqing!

Her condition was not good. Her spiritual power was on the verge of depletion. Although her cultivation was being released at full strength, she lacked sufficient spiritual power to support it, preventing her from unleashing her strongest power.

"Bastards!" Gu Shengge flicked his sleeve, and a thick, majestic spiritual power erupted. Bolstered by his Hedao Realm Great Perfection cultivation, it kicked up a vast amount of mist, forming a violent gale tornado.

The dozen or so white-robed Cultivators felt the violent energy impact around them. Their expressions changed one after another as they quickly retreated, not daring to continue their attack on Jun Mengqing.

The moment they dispersed, the energy barrier sealing Jun Mengqing shattered. The resulting energy ripples scattered in all directions. Jun Mengqing and the two female Cultivators from the Cangxuan Holy Land caught in the middle were left dazed and disoriented, coughing up blood in a wretched state.

After this impact, they were even less able to maintain their life-bound Spirit Treasures. The evil mist and Qi began to invade again, and they were now powerless to resist.

Jun Mengqing's exhausted eyes swept toward the sky and suddenly brightened for an instant. She saw clearly—it was Gu Shengge!
