25: Arrived at Qingzhou and found the protagonist

The place where Su Qingyue resided was called Qing Continent.

This was a vast continent, billions of miles wide, where Holy Lands existed.

The so-called Holy Lands were orthodoxies founded by Saint Realm grand powerful experts, transcendent to the world, ruling over hundreds of millions of miles of mountains and rivers.

The sect Su Qingyue belonged to was Wangyue Holy Land; her father was the current Holy Lord, with Void Dao Realm cultivation.

In Qing Continent, the Void Dao Realm was already a heaven-reaching grand powerful expert, dominating the world.

As for those on a higher level, they were either in secluded cultivation or had gone to broader heavens to seek the Great Dao.

And the Saint Realm, in Qing Continent, had already become a legendary existence.

Even Venerable Realm experts had vanished, with only King Realm ancestors guarding the Holy Lands.

The flying ship was incredibly fast, leaping through space, and in just one month, it had traversed countless star rivers to Qing Continent.

During this month, Gu Qing had been cultivating, digesting his gains, and his realm had broken through to the sixth level of the Xuan Dan Realm.

He had also mastered the Little Thousand Swordplay, opening up three thousand acupoints.

Each acupoint contained a sword qi, exuding an unparalleled sharp edge.

“Senior Brother, you’ve broken through to the sixth level of Profound Pill.” Su Qingyue no longer knew what to say.

Breaking through three heavens in one month.

The key was, two months ago, Gu Qing was still at the first level of Profound Pill.

In other words, Gu Qing had broken through six levels in two months.

“You’re also doing well, third level of Xuan Dan Realm.”

Gu Qing smiled.

He was able to break through so quickly, in addition to his own talent and effort, also because of the benefits of being under a big tree.

After joining the Star God Temple, he never had to worry about resources.

“Ji Ning, could I ask you for a favor?” Gu Qing looked at Ji Ning and said.

“Just say what you need.” Ji Ning replied.

“I need a large number of demon beast corpses, the more the better, regardless of their level.”

Gu Qing felt that hunting demon beasts himself was too inefficient.

Ji Ning was the Protector assigned to the two of them by Zhi Meng, so he could also ask her for help if needed.

Since there was an available powerful expert by his side, Gu Qing wasn't foolish enough not to use her and instead toil away hunting demon beasts in the primeval forest himself.

At most, he would repay her if the opportunity arose in the future.

“Alright! But I need to protect your safety right now, so I can only go when I have time.” Ji Ning still spoke concisely.

In fact, she was eager for Gu Qing to ask her for help; once Gu Qing grew up, even a small leak from his fingers would be enough to benefit her for life.

“Okay.”

Gu Qing nodded, then turned to look at Su Qingyue.

“Let’s go, I’m quite curious about Junior Sister’s sect.”

Su Qingyue’s cheeks flushed, thinking Gu Qing was going to meet her father-in-law, and she quickly sent a message to her father... On the other side, upon receiving his daughter’s message, Su Wu’s spirits lifted, and he unhesitatingly gathered the entire sect, opening the mountain gate to grandly welcome his beloved daughter’s glorious return home, splendid in her attire.

“Why is the Saintess returning?”

An elder asked this question, causing Su Wu’s face to instantly darken.

The way he said it, it sounded as if his daughter had been sent back.

“Ah, no.”

“I mean, does the Saintess have any mission for her glorious return home?”

This elder, with a strong will to survive, hastily added.

“Naturally, she missed me, and also came here for some experience.”

Su Wu’s face showed a proud smile, then he spoke with a serious expression: “Accompanying her this time is Qingyue’s Senior Brother, the eldest disciple of a Saint Realm grand powerful expert. All of you pay attention, and absolutely do not offend this esteemed guest.”

“Saint Realm?”

“The Saintess became a disciple of a Saint Realm grand powerful expert?”

The elders and true disciples present all changed their expressions drastically, their shock evident.

Saints had already become legends in Qing Continent; if not for the existence of Saint Artifacts, they wouldn't even be sure that Saints existed in this world.

“That’s right!” Su Wu nodded, standing proudly.

To be honest, when he first received this news, he was also shocked for a long time.

If the person who came to pick up Su Qingyue hadn't been a Venerable Realm expert, he wouldn't have dared to believe it was true.

It was also fortunate that Su Qingyue hadn't mentioned that she was already a Saintess of the Star God Temple.

Otherwise, Su Wu would probably have been so excited as to announce it to the whole world.

“Holy Lord, please rest assured, whoever dares to offend the esteemed guest, I, Gao Jinsheng, will not let him off.”

“That’s right, all of you listen carefully, whoever offends the esteemed disciple of a Saint Realm grand powerful expert will be expelled from the sect at the lightest, and have their cultivation abolished and thrown into the Icy Hell at the heaviest.”

A middle-aged man with a stern and cold face swept his gaze over everyone present and spoke coldly.

These words made everyone somewhat doubt life, looking at him with surprise and uncertainty.

This person was righteous and unyielding, even daring to confront the Holy Lord, the Lord of the Law Enforcement Hall.

How could he be more fawning than them now?

It was truly a rare sight.

They never expected the seemingly honest elder to be such a person.

Though they thought this, they dared not refute; the Lord of the Enforcement Hall held deep awe in their hearts, and everyone hastily nodded in agreement.

“Heh, a bunch of sycophants, with such a character, this life will be nothing more than this.”

In the crowd, a handsome young man with a resolute expression despised them in his heart.

However, thinking that he would soon see the Su Qingyue he had been longing for, his expression couldn't help but become excited.

“Three years unseen, I wonder if Junior Sister still remembers me by the pond behind the mountain.”

“My talent has now recovered, I can fight alongside you, and I no longer need your protection.” Lin Yang thought.

“They’re here!”

Su Wu’s spirit vibrated, and he shouted loudly, the entire Wang Yue Sect instantly standing ready.

Only to see colorful clouds filling the sky, a propitious cloud approaching from afar.

Gu Qing, dressed in a black Star Daoist robe, stood tall, his appearance incomparably handsome, as if he were a banished immortal.

Beside him, Su Qingyue’s colorful ribbons fluttered, she was clear and ethereal, the two of them like a pair of immortal companions.

“Father.”

Su Qingyue’s face was filled with pleasant surprise; after three years of separation, she finally saw her father’s serious face again.

It was just that her father had a few more wrinkles than before she left.

“Mhm.” Su Wu hummed, looking at his daughter, though he had a thousand words in his heart, he didn’t know how to speak them.

“Greetings, Uncle.”

“Good, good, you must be Qingyue’s Senior Brother, please come in quickly.”

Su Wu looked at him like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

So handsome, and a disciple of a Saint Realm grand powerful expert, his talent must not be bad.

The key was, from Su Qingyue’s message, it was full of praise for Gu Qing; how could he not guess that Su Qingyue liked Gu Qing.

If she didn’t like him, Su Qingyue wouldn’t have brought him back.

“Uncle is too polite.”

Gu Qing glanced at the grandly awaiting crowd, his thoughts myriad.

These people were all powerful experts who dominated a region, capable of deciding countless lives with a single word.

Any inner disciple walking out would be an existence surrounded by stars.

Now, they had all become people trying to curry favor with him; after becoming a disciple, the big shot was actually himself.

[Detected Lin Yang harboring malice towards the host and attempting to plunder the host’s luck, triggering Super Thorns, Resist the plunder of Lin Yang's 1,000 Luck.]

Gu Qing instantly smiled.

Things were indeed as he expected, there was a protagonist by Su Qingyue’s side.

His gaze quickly swept around, and he soon locked onto the protagonist.

It was simply too easy to recognize the protagonist.

In this crowd where everyone was handsome and beautiful, the protagonist’s appearance was short and ordinary.

His demeanor was confident and indifferent, with an air of everyone else being drunk while he alone was sober, as if he looked down on everyone else as trash.

The protagonist was like a firefly in the dark night; Gu Qing found it hard not to notice him.

“Wait!”

“Holy Lord, this disciple has something to say.”

At this moment, Lin Yang’s calm and indifferent voice rang out in the field.
