719: Yan Hongluo: A damn honest gentleman

"Is it strange?"

Gu Qing smiled, "Inheritance is of little use to me, and the essence of the Great Dao is the same."

He had already forged the Great Dao Undying Golden Body, and his Great Dao physique was perfect, flawless, and beyond the help of the Great Dao essence refined by that powerful being.

At most, it would be icing on the cake, just a slightly higher-grade cultivation resource.

"..."

Yan Hongluo felt like Gu Qing was showing off.

Inside, Yan Hongluo was both happy for Gu Qing and a little frustrated.

The inheritance that others went mad for was, in Gu Qing's eyes, not even worth mentioning.

"Actually, you don't have to go. Just stay by my side and live like a pig, and you'll receive great fortune."

"Hongluan and Yaoyao's rapid breakthrough to Divine Emperor Sixth-level is the most powerful proof. The greatness of a Celestial needs no further explanation."

Gu Qing suddenly caressed her stern cheek, his smile hinting at something as he spoke.

Yan Hongluo was startled, then angrily said, "Are you humiliating me?"

"Didn't you say it? Hongluo Demonic Emperor?" Gu Qing tugged at her cheek.

Indeed, Yan Hongluo's proud and disdainful expression had a unique feeling when touched.

"I did say it, but how could you take it seriously?"

"I am an honest gentleman..."

"Pah..."

Yan Hongluo spat, her finger already in her mouth, yet he still called himself an honest gentleman?

Gu Qing brought the person into the Boundless Space... "Hongluan, why are we leaving?"

Yaoyao didn't want to leave; she wanted to nestle in Gu Qing's arms like a little fox.

"Stupid Master, haven't you noticed that Sister Hongluo has been completely different ever since the little rascal brought her back?"

Hongluan poked her Master's smooth forehead, frustrated with her lack of understanding.

"How is she different?"

Yaoyao was stunned, her fluffy fox ears perked up, looking utterly adorable.

Yaoyao didn't think Yan Hongluo was any different.

After returning, she had been diligently cultivating, and as soon as she emerged from seclusion, she would seek out duels.

That was just like before, right?

"Forget it, I'll just say it directly!"

Hongluan slapped her forehead. She was crazy to expect her stupid Master to notice anything.

"Do you remember how Sister Hongluo looked envious when she asked us why our cultivation improved so quickly?"

"Isn't envy normal?" Yaoyao wondered.

They had refined the Celestial essence Gu Qing gave them, which led to immediate enlightenment, a surge in cultivation, and the ultimate sublimation of their physique, divine soul, and magical power.

It directly elevated their innate foundations by several levels.

With such great fortune, who wouldn't be envious?

"It's certainly normal, but she frequently emerged from seclusion and often spaced out, which is very abnormal."

"Sister Hongluo was clearly thinking of the little rascal, waiting for him to return, which is why she frequently emerged from seclusion, not wanting to miss the chance to see him."

Hongluan had a wise expression, and as she thought that the arrogant and peerless Queen Hongluo was finally like them, her beautiful eyes gleamed.

"Ah... so that's it."

Yaoyao's face flushed, and she subconsciously covered her face, wrapping herself in her nine fluffy fox tails.

Hongluan: "..."

Forget it, forget it!

It was useless to say anything.

Hongluan pulled her stupid Master towards the Heavenly Lightning Purgatory.

The old man guarding the Heavenly Lightning Purgatory, seeing the two, immediately became alert, his sleepy expression vanishing.

Stroking his white beard, he chuckled, "What brings you two little girls here?"

"Hongluan, Yaoyao, we greet Elder Xing."

The two bowed respectfully.

This seemingly unassuming old man was a Saint of the Ninth-level Perfection, named Xing Rong, who guarded the nine great purgatories of the Star God Sect.

He was also an old official who had followed the Starry Sacred Mother from the Eternal Universe to the Origin Continent, fighting countless battles in his lifetime, with boundless divine abilities.

Although they had Gu Qing as their backer, they were ultimately not Gu Qing, so when encountering powerful individuals, they naturally maintained sufficient respect.

After obtaining the token for the Heavenly Lightning Purgatory, the two appeared unhindered in the Heavenly Lightning Purgatory. The destructive lightning bolts in the sky seemed to have eyes, actively avoiding them.

"You..."

Fang Jixuan's eyes widened when he saw the two. However, when he saw Hongluan's cold gaze, he immediately felt as if his throat was choked, and the words on the tip of his tongue got stuck.

"You have such audacity, daring to deceive even us."

Hongluan's captivating beautiful eyes flickered with cold light, and adorned in a red dress, she resembled a peerless female demon.

"Master, Senior Sister, what do you mean?" Fang Jixuan's pupils constricted, and he asked, trying to maintain his composure.

"Are you still trying to play dumb when death is at your doorstep? Fine, after I search your soul and throw you into the Soul Refining Purgatory, we'll see how long you can remain stubborn."

Hongluan's voice was cold. With that, she stepped forward to search his soul.

Secretly, she recorded it with a recording stone.

"No, don't..."

Upon hearing that he would be soul-searched and thrown into the Soul Refining Purgatory.

Fang Jixuan nearly lost his soul from fright.

How terrifying the Soul Refining Purgatory was, everyone in the Star God Sect knew.

After all, it imprisoned countless disciples who had committed grave sins, as well as powerful beings who were enemies of the Star God Sect.

A wisp of true soul, burned for endless years, unable to live or die.

It was precisely because of the existence of the Soul Refining Purgatory that it deterred countless powerful enemies on the Origin Continent and prevented any betrayal from the disciples.

"Senior Sister, I'll tell you, I'll tell you. Please, Senior Sister, spare me."

Fang Jixuan was about to wet himself from fear.

He had no doubt whether Hongluan had the ability to throw him into the Soul Refining Purgatory.

Being extremely afraid of death, he would rather die than enter the Soul Refining Purgatory.

"I've figured it out. That great seal is a Ninth-Order Dao Artifact, and that damaged divine pagoda is a Seventh-Order Dao Artifact. As for the token, I couldn't tell, but I thought it was a treasure, so I wanted to trade for it and bring it back to my family for the Saint elders to appraise."

Fang Jixuan was, after all, a protagonist with a destiny. Although he was frightened, he wasn't so scared as to collapse.

He quickly came up with the most advantageous explanation for himself.

Fang Jixuan suspected that Hongluan hadn't actually recognized these three treasures; rather, his actions had aroused their suspicion, making them guess that these three items were treasures.

So he only mentioned the first two, to gain Hongluan's trust, as for the Dao Decree...

He would absolutely not mention it unless he was forced to.

Fang Jixuan clearly hadn't given up on the Dao Decree yet.

"You are from a Saint family?"

Hongluan paused, asking in surprise.

"No."

When talking about his family, Fang Jixuan's eyes involuntarily showed a hint of arrogance, "I am the direct descendant of the Dujuan Bird Fang Family."

"What?"

Hearing this, the two women's expressions changed drastically.

The Dujuan Bird Fang Family, this was a Master God family that dominated the Origin Continent.

"I am the only direct descendant of the Fang Family Head, Fang Jixuan."

Although Fang Jixuan resented his family for abandoning him ruthlessly, deep down, he had always been proud of having such a powerful family.

As long as he returned to the family, he would be the most noble Divine Son on the Origin Continent, and even Saints who transcended the mundane world would have to be respectful to him.

"I remember the Fang Family has a rule that disciples training outside, no matter how noble their identity, are not allowed to reveal their identity, right?"

"Once revealed, it is considered a failed training, and they are brought back to the family, henceforth removed from the core cultivation sequence."

Hongluan's beautiful eyes narrowed, sparkling with keenness. She had already believed Fang Jixuan's words.

After all, Fang Jixuan had provoked Gu Qing to personally act, so how could he be a simple character?

Her talk of soul-searching and then throwing him into the Soul Refining Purgatory was merely to scare Fang Jixuan.

However, Fang Jixuan truly wasn't honest.

Even now, he still wanted to conceal the Dao Decree, probably because he hadn't given up on it.

That's fine too. If Fang Jixuan didn't say anything, she would just pretend not to know.

"This..." Fang Jixuan's face twisted, filled with deep resentment.

He had been a good-for-nothing in the Star God Sect for so many years, suffering various bullying, always enduring humiliation.

Now that he had finally risen, and the Nine Dragons Seizing the Heir battle was about to begin, as long as he defeated his opponents, he could become the Fang Family's Divine Son and receive the family's full support.

Speaking of which, Fang Jixuan had his own calculations when he gave the newly refined Divine Beauty Dao Pill to the three of them.

Firstly, he wanted to obtain those three treasures. Secondly, he wanted to befriend the three and have the Star God Sect assist him in seizing the heir.

Indeed, the Fang Family's Nine Dragons Seizing the Heir allowed other forces to assist them.

It was imaginable that if everything went smoothly, allowing him to obtain the Dao Decree, receive the inheritance of a supreme powerful being, and with the Star God Sect's backing, he would surely shine brightly in the Nine Dragons Seizing the Heir and win the championship in one fell swoop.

But all of this was ruined by this vixen in front of him.

How could Fang Jixuan not hate her?

"Speak."

Hongluan said sharply, "Don't think you can scare me by bringing up the Fang Family. I, Hongluan, am not easily intimidated."

"Believe it or not, if I kill you, the Fang Family won't be able to do anything to me?"

"If you know what's good for you, confess your purpose for coming to the Star God Sect. Otherwise, you're definitely going into the Soul Refining Purgatory. I, Hongluan, said it, and no one can save you."

Fang Jixuan's expression changed erratically as he pondered how much truth and falsehood was in Hongluan's words.

He found it hard to believe that Hongluan didn't even fear the Dujuan Bird Fang Family.

After all, the Dujuan Bird Fang Family was not only powerful but also vengeful and extremely domineering in protecting its own.

The reason he revealed his identity was to use his family to intimidate Hongluan, leave the Heavenly Lightning Purgatory, and then scheme for the Dao Decree.

"Speak. At this point, there's nothing left to hide. Besides, she has the Sect Master's backing, so her support is not weak."

"Furthermore, if the Starry Sacred Mother hadn't returned, perhaps the family would have been wary of the Fang Family, but since the Starry Sacred Mother has returned, it's your Fang Family that should be wary."

Dan Lao sighed helplessly.

He could tell that the Fang Family had placed Fang Jixuan in the Star God Sect for fostering precisely because the Starry Sacred Mother was not in the sect.

Now that she had returned, everything was full of Variables.

Once things escalated, it was uncertain who would settle scores with whom.

"How is that possible?"

Fang Jixuan's defenses crumbled. Although his family had ruthlessly abandoned him, he had always taken pride in his family.

The Dujuan Bird Fang Family was a family of innate gods and demons. Their ancestor was a Master God of Triple Perfection, and there were countless Celestial and Saint ancestors in the clan.

Moreover, they controlled nine Dao Provinces and possessed an endless number of subordinate forces, including many Twelve-Star Dao Lineages.

Furthermore, the Fang Family also had good relations with many Master God forces, always maintaining marital alliances.

His mother was a Divine Maiden of a Master God Dao Lineage.

As powerful as the Fang Family was, he didn't believe the Star God Sect would dare to go to war with them.

"You brat, you wouldn't think that the Star God Sect's Three Thousand Dao Provinces were given to them by others, would you? You wouldn't think that the Starry Sacred Mother is truly a Sacred Mother, would you?"

Dan Lao seemed to have seen through Fang Jixuan's thoughts, scoffing disdainfully, and immediately poured cold water on him.

"Whether the Star God Sect will go to war with your Fang Family, I don't know, but I can guarantee that your Fang Family absolutely wouldn't dare to go to war with the Star God Sect. If you die in the Star God Sect, you will die in vain."
