Chapter 1191: Chapter 619: Hard Not to Be Tempted (Part 2)

He flew back in a rage, glaring fiercely at Daoist Xiushan, clearly prepared to fight to the death with him. If he didn’t regain his footing today, the reputation he had built up in Tianlan Sacred Land over the years would vanish into thin air.​

Daoist Xiushan wore a nonchalant expression, not taking the Second Elder’s fury seriously at all.

The Great Elder, seeing the situation was not good, hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade the Second Elder: "Second Elder, that’s enough. The Holy Master and the Holy Mother are about to return. If this escalates, it will be hard for both of us to handle."

The Second Elder looked at the Great Elder, bewildered and uncertain. Following the Great Elder’s gaze, he saw the body of Shou Xiangwen lying nearby and understood the deeper meaning behind the Great Elder’s words.

The Great Elder might already know some of the truth. If he continued to entangle himself further, he might really end up in a place of no return.​

After a fierce struggle in his mind, the Second Elder looked at Daoist Xiushan and said coldly, "I’ll let today’s matter slide for now. Remember, I’ll find an opportunity to spar with you another day."

He bent down to pick up Shou Xiangwen’s body, turned, and left with the Seventh Elder.

As they were leaving, the Seventh Elder couldn’t help but look back at Daoist Xiushan, his eyes filled with both dread and curiosity.​

Seeing the Second Elder and the others leave, Daoist Xiushan then dropped down beside Gu Sheng. After carefully checking Gu Sheng’s condition and finding he was unharmed, the taut expression on his face eased slightly.

He looked at Gu Sheng and asked, "Boy, what exactly happened? Tell me in detail."

Gu Sheng briefly recounted the course of events.

Daoist Xiushan’s face grew even darker, and he angrily accused, "That Second Elder, laying such a despicable trap against you."​

The Great Elder stood by, lost in thought.

After a moment, he spoke, "This matter is of great importance. I need to discuss it with the Holy Master before deciding."

Daoist Xiushan snorted coldly, "Discuss? The Second Elder has committed such an atrocity, he should be severely punished, what’s there to discuss?"

The Great Elder shook his head helplessly, "Xiushan, the Second Elder holds a significant position in the Holy Land, and some matters are not for you and me to decide."

Although Daoist Xiushan was unhappy, he knew that what the Great Elder said was true, so he could only suppress his anger. ​

Seeing everyone’s emotions ease somewhat, the Great Elder said, "I’ll go on ahead to prepare for the Holy Master and the Holy Mother’s return." He turned into a stream of light and disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Daoist Xiushan watched in the direction the Great Elder left and said, "Boy, I have to go to the Heavenly Hall to check on some things, you wait here for me to return."

Gu Sheng nodded and said, "Rest assured, Senior Xiushan, the Second Elder has concerns, and I believe he won’t dare to act recklessly again."

Daoist Xiushan responded with a hum and then used his movement technique, flying toward the Heavenly Hall’s direction.​

After Daoist Xiushan left, Gu Sheng recalled his mistress, and went with his sister, Gu Yu, to find her.

They arrived at the place where the mistress was cultivating and found her meditating deeply within an Array. Since the Array isolated external sounds, the mistress was unaware of anything happening outside.

Gu Sheng raised his hand and broke the Array, finally waking his mistress from her cultivation.​

Seeing Gu Sheng and Gu Yu, the mistress asked, "Why are you here? What happened?"

Gu Sheng stepped forward and recounted everything that had happened.​

The mistress’ face turned very serious, she sighed and said, "It seems Tianshan Residence is no longer safe."

Gu Sheng looked at the mistress and asked, "Mistress, do you think the Holy Master will punish the Second Elder?"

Gu Yu choked back tears and said, "Brother, you must be careful."

The mistress also had red eyes, exhorting, "Child, be careful in all things."​

Gu Sheng and Daoist Xiushan embarked on the journey to the Divine Wind Thunder Mountain.

Along the way, Gu Sheng was filled with curiosity about the Tianxuan Divine Girl’s search for a fiancé and couldn’t help but ask, "Uncle Xiushan, I heard that the Tianxuan Divine Girl is looking for a fiancé, what is the reason behind this? Why are so many people claiming to be her fiancé?"

Daoist Xiushan explained, "This so-called Tianxuan Divine Girl actually has only one fiancé. However, the benefits of becoming her fiancé are so great that people dare to impersonate him. In the face of great temptation, many people are not even afraid of death."​

Gu Sheng was full of doubt and pressed further, "What benefits are there that make so many people flock to it?"

Daoist Xiushan’s eyes showed yearning as he said, "If someone becomes the fiancé of the Tianxuan Divine Girl, it is astounding. Not only could he have free rein in the Xinghong Spirit Domain, but he would also have the chance to enter the legendary Upper Realm and become the son-in-law of the Purple Spirit Realm Master.

This is truly like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, it’s hard not to be tempted."

Gu Sheng clicked his tongue, thinking Daoist Xiushan’s words had much truth, even feeling a bit envious of that Goddess’s fiancé.​

Daoist Xiushan, recalling something, teased with a smile, "Gu Sheng, your master left you quite a few marriage proposals before, but in my opinion, no amount of marriage proposals can compare to the position of the Tianxuan Divine Girl’s fiancé."

Gu Sheng flushed with embarrassment, scratched his head, and said shyly, "Uncle, my master... he doesn’t have that capability."

Daoist Xiushan laughed heartily and teased a few more times, then the two continued toward the direction of the Divine Wind Thunder Mountain.​

As they got closer to the Divine Wind Thunder Mountain, Gu Sheng gradually sensed a destructive force of lightning, a power capable of reducing everything in the world to dust.

Daoist Xiushan, seeing Gu Sheng’s expression, began to introduce, "This Divine Wind Thunder Mountain is one of the best training sacred lands for Body Refiners in the Xinghong Spirit Domain. The nature’s spiritual energy is abundant here, and cultivating in this place can not only strengthen your physical body but also potentially enhance your cultivation."​
