Jing Yan’s war with the Gai Family appeared to have little to do with Saint Master Shen Chong on the surface.
But any astute observer knew that Shen Chong’s support was behind Jing Yan. Why was Jing Yan able to beco the Hall Master of the Holy Hall so quickly? Why had the other Hall Masters joined Jing Yan’s war with the Gai Family in a personal capacity?
The sharp-minded could see the critical issue at stake.
Indeed, if Jing Yan were to defeat the Gai Family, it would be of great advantage to Saint Master Shen Chong, further strengthening his control over the Heavenly Origin Continent. Conversely, if Jing Yan failed, the blow to Shen Chong would be equally significant. Then, it was likely that the Seven Great Families would no longer hold him, the Holy Master, in high regard. The Seven Great Families might take the opportunity to expand their power and draw more family forces to their side. At the very least, the Gai Family would definitely seize the chance to seek greater power and benefits!
Concerned about the outco of this battle, the appearance of Axe Demon Gu Wutian inevitably made Shen Chong anxious.
Could Jing Yan possibly be a match for Axe Demon Gu Wutian? To what extent had his combat power increased during these thousand years given the Axe Demon’s frenzy?
"Holy Master! Although Axe Demon Gu Wutian is strong, he may not necessarily be Jing Yan’s opponent," Chang Huan said, furrowing his brows.
"Gu Wutian’s cultivation thod is quite special; he doesn’t cultivate Primordial Energy but purely focuses on Body Refinent. His combat power is extrely formidable," Shen Chong shook his head.
Suddenly, the Communication Crystal Stone in the room moved slightly—a ssage had arrived.
Shen Chong imdiately activated his Primordial Energy.
"Gu Wutian has been killed, the Gai Family is now in dire straits!" Shen Chong voiced the content of the ssage directly.
The eyes of the two people in the room lit up.
"Hall Master Jing Yan’s combat power is indeed terrifying! Even the Axe Demon has been killed!" Chang Huan laughed.
"Yes! Jing Yan actually managed to kill Axe Demon Gu Wutian, this is really..." Shen Chong also let out a sigh of relief.
While their joy had yet to subside, another ssage followed.
"Gu Luoshui?"
"Gu Luoshui? The Gai Family’s Creator, Gu Luoshui?"
"How is that possible? Gu Luoshui was a Saint Realm Martial Artist from before the Human God War, how could she possibly appear on the Heavenly Origin Continent?"
After receiving the news about Gu Luoshui, both Chang Huan and Shen Chong’s expressions turned grave instantly.
"Holy Master..." Chang Huan looked anxious.
"We need to prepare ourselves, this ssage is likely accurate. Gu Luoshui is a Saint Realm Martial Artist; Jing Yan can’t possibly be a match for her, the Glory Alliance is dood!" Shen Chong said solemnly.
"Holy Master, would Gu Luoshui dare cause trouble in the Holy City?" Chang Huan understood what Shen Chong ant by saying they needed to prepare.
"It’s better to be safe than sorry! Gu Luoshui has suddenly appeared on the Heavenly Origin Continent. I think she might have always been here but concealed in a place isolated from the outside world. Now that she has shown herself, she won’t be able to stick around for too long. If she chooses to cause destruction on the Continent within this ti fra, the consequences would be unbearable for us," Shen Chong said with a heavy tone.
"Then how shall we respond?" Chang Huan asked.
"Chang Huan, you’ll have to make a personal visit, to et Gu Luoshui and see her stance. If she has any demands of us, as long as they’re not too excessive, we should be able to comply," Shen Chong said.
"And what about Hall Master Jing Yan?" Chang Huan asked again.
"Chang Huan, we’ve just received news that Gu Luoshui has appeared. However, actually, Gu Luoshui must have appeared several hours ago. By now, Jing Yan might already be dead. I don’t wish for Jing Yan to have co to harm, but there’s nothing we can do. With the support of the Holy Palace, I might be able to contend with Gu Luoshui. However, as the Holy Palace cannot be moved, I would be helpless if she does not co to the Holy City," Chang Huan shook his head and sighed.
Chang Huan’s expression also carried a tinge of sorrow. But as Shen Chong said, they were utterly unable to help Jing Yan. Even if the Holy Palace could be moved, it would still take them over ten days to reach Flowing Light City from the Holy City at full speed.
Chang Huan quickly regained his composure and said, "I’ll go to Flowing Light City to et Gu Luoshui right away!"
Chang Huan spoke and then turned to leave.
After Chang Huan left, only Shen Chong remained in the room of the Great Hall.
Through a Communication Crystal Stone, Shen Chong sent out a ssage.
"Guardian! The Saint Realm Martial Artist Gu Luoshui, who appeared before the battle between the Human Gods, has been spotted in the Heavenly Origin Continent!" The content of the ssage was just that.
At the sa ti!
This was a colossal palace suspended in the skies, hidden among the clouds. The entire palace was a dark crimson color.
From a great distance, one could feel the terrifying pressure emanating from that suspended dark crimson palace.
That was the pressure of the Law, and Martial Artists below the Saint Realm who ca here could not approach this terrifyingly large palace.
This palace was called the Sky Sacred Hall.
At this mont, within the Sky Sacred Hall, a tall figure’s eyebrows lightly furrowed. His eyes focused as he looked out into the distance, towards the location of the Heavenly Origin Continent.
"The Heavenly Origin Continent, there’s the fluctuation of a Saint Realm Martial Artist’s presence?"
"Could it be that a new Saint Realm Martial Artist has erged on that continent? Or is it possible that a hidden Saint Realm Martial Artist has reappeared in the Heavenly Origin Continent!"
The tall figure, clad in a dark gold robe, quietly mused to himself.
"It’s likely the Saint Realm Martial Artist who appeared before the battle with the Human Gods! Concealing yourself until now, you’ve shown great restraint!"
"However, now that you’ve revealed yourself... you must leave the Heavenly Origin Continent!"
The brilliance in the dark gold-robed figure’s eyes flickered slightly.
He was the master of the Sky Sacred Hall.
In this world, he was known as the Guardian.
The cessation of the battle with the Human Gods, the signing of the ceasefire agreent, it was all under his direct initiative.
"Hmm? Saint Master Shen Chong from the Heavenly Origin Continent has sent a ssage?" The Guardian took out a Communication Crystal Stone.
"Gu Luoshui?"
"So Gu Luoshui really didn’t die. She’s concealed herself well, not showing her face for thousands of years. What could have made her reveal herself now?" The Guardian’s thoughts shifted quickly.
Gu Luoshui had been in concealnt for thousands of years, obviously not wanting to leave the Heavenly Origin Continent. Her sudden appearance now surely had a reason.
"Never mind, I might as well make the trip personally! This Gu Luoshui, she can’t be allowed to stay on the Heavenly Origin Continent for too long." The Guardian gently shook his head.
Imdiately, he sent a ssage to Shen Chong using the Communication Crystal Stone.
At the sa ti, Shen Chong received the ssage from the Guardian.
"Saint Master Shen Chong, please convey a ssage to Gu Luoshui for . I will soon enter the Heavenly Origin Continent to find her, and tell her not to wander around."
This was the ssage Shen Chong received from the Guardian.
Upon seeing the ssage, Shen Chong breathed a sigh of relief.
With the Guardian himself coming to the Heavenly Origin Continent, Gu Luoshui wouldn’t be able to stir up too much trouble. All that was needed was to wait for the Guardian to arrive, and Gu Luoshui would surely have to leave the Heavenly Origin Continent. Although Gu Luoshui was a Saint Realm Martial Artist, she had no power to resist in the presence of the Guardian.
