The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 645 The Venerable Dharma King, the Mystery of Azure Sky (Seeking monthly votes~)

Waterfall curtain cave, mountain spring cold pool.

"Your Highness, the sect has replied."

Li Xiangjun walked in from outside the stone curtain cave with a soft, gentle voice and a respectful posture.

Inside the stone chamber, the woman in the black dress stood silently, like a beautiful painting rendered in ink wash.

The woman's figure was graceful, her ink-black hair cascading down, exuding an ethereal and otherworldly aura. All her features were hidden beneath a black veil, revealing only a pair of eyes as bright as stars.

Qu Feiyan, the contemporary prodigy of the Tianluo Sect and the Holy Maiden of Tianluo.

The Holy Maiden of Tianluo did not speak, but slightly raised her eyes and looked at Li Xiangjun.

The unrest in Long'an attracted the attention of the Northern Border Pacification Division, which dispatched a special envoy to join forces with the local forces of Canglong Prefecture to focus on cracking down on evil forces.

Especially the culprits who instigated the unrest.

Within a few months, the headquarters of the Evil Extreme Path was destroyed, the leader of the Evil Extreme Path was seriously injured, the deputy leader of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect fell, and the Ascending Dragon Path, the Heavenly Lotus Sect, and other forces all suffered heavy losses.

Even her Tianluo Sect was significantly affected.

The Northern Garrison's reaction far exceeded expectations. The dynasty's mechanisms, the system's operation, and the efficiency of its decision-making were beyond prior anticipation.

Centipede insect, dead but not stiff!
Moreover, this ancient and vast dynasty! Although it is old, it is clear that it is far from the time of its demise.

The capital city, a towering pillar, is home to numerous imperial agencies, scattered like stars, all strategizing and planning with the world at their fingertips, aiming to continue the eight-thousand-year-old fortune of the Great Qian Dynasty!
After this incident, those old guys in the sect should calm down a bit.

The central government is out of the question, but even the territories of its subordinate states are not so easy to provoke.

Although the central control has declined, it is clear that it has not declined to that extent.

Those old fogies in the cult made a mistake in testing us.

She was also deeply affected by this incident and faced a focused crackdown.

Fortunately, she managed to escape in time and did not linger. In addition, her skillful maneuvering prevented any major problems from arising.

"Your Highness."

Li Xiangjun respectfully approached and handed over the letter with both hands.

The Holy Maiden of Heavenly Net lowered her eyes slightly, and her skirt slipped down, revealing a section of her wrist that was as white as jade.

She was about to reach out to catch it when she suddenly felt a sharp pain that made her furrow her brows.

"Your Highness?"

Li Xiangjun immediately noticed Tianluo Saintess's unusual behavior and her face showed worry and concern.

Has His Highness's injury not healed yet?

Impossible, it's been so long!
but.
Li Xiangjun's beautiful face was filled with worry.

"fine."

The Holy Maiden of Tianluo lowered her clear eyes and, with a voice as cold as a spring, accepted the letter from Li Xiangjun.

Although Li Xiangjun was worried, she dared not ask any questions. She simply stood by his side, watching as His Highness finished reading the letter.

"Send them a letter, telling them not to bother with labor, and that they will return to the sect once I emerge from seclusion!"

The Holy Maiden of Heavenly Net had a calm gaze, revealing no emotion.

"Yes, Your Highness," Li Xiangjun replied respectfully.

Inside the stone chamber of the curtain cave, there is a mountain spring with a cold pool, clear and cold, and bottomless.

The Holy Maiden of Heavenly Net stood to the side, watching the clear pool ripple, remaining silent.

Prior to this, urgent messages had come from within the church urging her to return to the Holy Church as soon as possible.

However, at that time, she was focused on the Demon Lord's secret treasure and had no intention of returning to the cult. After obtaining the Demon Lord's secret treasure, she needed to spend time digesting what she had gained and transforming it into her foundation.

It was impossible for her to return there immediately. She stayed there temporarily, citing the need to recuperate from her injuries.

After staying there for several months, the church could no longer wait and another letter arrived.

She frankly stated that the turmoil in Long'an had a terrible impact, and that her recent revelation had attracted the attention of the Northern Border Garrison, causing concern within the sect. They hoped she would return as soon as possible, and if there were any obstacles, the sect could send the Dharma King to accompany and escort her.

Although this matter shows concern, the fact that it has been mentioned twice in succession, with such urgency, suggests that the matter is probably not so simple.

In particular, the mention of the Dharma King accompanying and escorting her in this reply carries a subtle sense of coercion. If she does not return on her own, then the Dharma King of the sect will be dispatched to invite her back.

It was ostensibly to accompany and escort them, but in reality, it was a troublesome favor to ask.

She hadn't gone back before, and naturally, she wouldn't now. The Demon Lord's secret treasures hadn't been fully digested yet; although some of the corresponding treasures and artifacts had been refined, a large portion remained unrefined.

Furthermore, the Thousand Illusions Technique has not yet been mastered, and the Purple Extreme Secret Manual has not yet been truly converted to other skills.

My study of the Great Luo Heart Method is only at the most basic level.

The accumulation and transformation of knowledge may be rapid, but the foundation is rich and the hidden secrets are astonishing, requiring time to refine.

This harvest is so astonishing that even a small portion of it would be enough to make the Dharma King of the sect extremely envious.

In addition, there is that one from the Heavenly Net Palace.

She couldn't possibly go back until she had fully digested what she had learned and transformed it into a foundation.

The Demon Lord's secret treasure is of utmost importance and cannot be lost.

If we're accidentally exposed, who knows what those old fogies in the sect are up to!

As the current Holy Maiden of the Tianluo Sect, these old guys might not be willing to shamelessly seize all her gains, but if they were truly exposed, giving up a large portion of her wealth would probably be unavoidable.

To ensure that nothing goes wrong, she will not go back until her foundation has been completely transformed.

At the very least, the matter should be delayed for some time, and the return to church should be postponed.

As for the fact that His Holiness the Dharma King personally invited him?
A strange light flickered in the eyes of the Heavenly Luo Saintess, as dreamlike as a galaxy and as dazzling as stars.

"Why are these old fogies in the sect in such a hurry? What exactly are they trying to achieve?"

The letter briefly mentioned the reason for the matter, stating that she needed to return as soon as possible so that they could discuss something with her. This matter had a significant impact, and her opinion needed to be sought.

"Discuss?" The Heavenly Net Saintess's eyes were cold and clear, her indifference gone: "In all these years, what has truly been discussed?"

As she felt the pain that came from time to time, the eyes of the Heavenly Luo Saintess gradually calmed down, becoming as radiant as a starry river.

The excruciating pain caught her completely off guard.

Silently, without warning.

These feelings are far more intense than ordinary injuries. They are not only physical, but also psychological.

What would happen if this situation occurred during a battle?
The Holy Maiden of Heavenly Net's eyes suddenly widened, clear and sharp, like a deep, cold pool.

"Chen Ping'an!"

hum~
A pale blue light swirled, and the aura gradually dimmed until it completely dissipated.

Chen Pingan slowly opened his eyes.

Name: Chen Ping'an
Realm: Late stage of Jade Balance - Breakthrough to the third stage (Spiritual Pattern Condensation)
武学：青阳血炼法未入门（1330/1920）颠鸾倒凤·阴阳枢入门（0/8640）、太虚御风步入门（480/2160）七杀天罡拳小成（65/3840）、霸刀大成（0/3200）、七绝神功圆满、万魔铸身诀圆满
"The progress is excellent!"

Chen Ping'an smiled slightly and slowly got up from the bed.

Through spiritual perception, I realized that the sun was already setting and evening was approaching.

Stepping out of the villa, I found maids already waiting for me. Judging from their appearance, I wondered how long they had been waiting.

"Uncle."

Upon seeing Chen Ping'an emerge, the two maids bowed respectfully.

"Hmm." Chen Ping'an nodded slightly. "What time is it?"

"Reporting to the young master, it's just past Shen Shi (3-5 PM), it's already You Shi (5-7 PM)," replied one of the two maids, who was petite and pretty.

"Okay." Chen Ping'an replied without saying anything more and immediately walked outside.

The two maids dared not ask any questions and immediately followed closely behind him.

Chen Ping'an ignored him and continued walking forward.

Last night's battle caused quite a stir, and the Gu family must have heard about it. Furthermore, the death of Li Wusheng, a top-tier figure in the state, is no small matter.

A fierce battle raged late at night, resulting in the death of a major figure. Combining these two events, Canglong Prefecture City is likely to be engulfed in considerable turmoil.

Logically, as a senior candidate for the position of Commander of the Canglong Prefecture's Garrison, he should have returned to the Garrison after learning of this matter. However, considering his personality, if he had detailed information about such an event, he might go back. But if he didn't receive any information, he probably wouldn't go.

If he really went, that would seem rather unusual. Some observant people would probably start to have doubts.

Since he happened to be at the Gu family's house, Chen Ping'an took the opportunity to find out what was going on today.

As the leading family in Canglong Prefecture, the Gu family has extensive connections and powerful influence, and is always the most well-informed about such matters.

Based on what the Gu family says, you can basically make a fairly accurate judgment.

Of course, while it's important to gather information, the overall process should be spontaneous and not seem too deliberate.

Based on the typical character of Chen Ping'an, the rough-and-tumble swordsman, this is his normal understanding after learning about last night's fierce battle.

By the time Chen Ping'an left the Gu family home, it was already late at night.

The Gu family was unusually busy today. Chen Ping'an went to the Hall of Elders but didn't see many elders. He didn't even see Elder Lan, whom he usually saw often.

The few elders present seemed to have quite a few things to attend to. They chatted for only a short while before departing.

The only person who actually had a detailed discussion with Chen Ping'an was Elder Heng.

However, Chen Ping'an did achieve his goal for this trip through him. He learned a lot of information, which was basically the same as his own experience, with no major discrepancies, only the perspective changed from that of a participant to that of an observer.

It is likely that a mysterious powerful figure launched a night raid on Canglong Prefecture City and clashed with the Grand Elder of the Canglong Prefecture Town Guard.

As he spoke, a hint of surprise flickered across Elder Heng's face.

Clearly, he had not expected that such a thing would happen in Canglong Prefecture City, the central city of a prefecture.
Someone actually dared to launch a night raid on Canglong Prefecture City!
Most importantly, it looks like it was a success!

Even when the Grand Master of the Garrison Command took action, he was unable to capture the other party.

All factions were in a state of panic, and rumors were rampant throughout the city.

"What a turbulent time! What a turbulent time!" Old Heng sighed repeatedly, his expression utterly bewildered.

According to his understanding, the mysterious expert who made a move last night did not seem to have reached the level of a Grandmaster. This reality was far more astonishing to him than the arrival of a pseudo-celestial being.

To fight fiercely in the night sky at the level of a Grandmaster and escape unscathed—such skill is rare even among Grandmasters of this caliber throughout the entire dynasty.
"Perhaps, after this battle, the Grandmaster Ranking, which has been dormant for more than three years, will be updated!" Elder Heng sighed, a hint of melancholy in his expression.

The Grandmaster Ranking: Seventy-two Grandmasters of the Wind and Cloud.

They stirred up a storm in the land, each one renowned and powerful. Such influence and methods inspired countless grandmasters to emulate them.

As everyone knows, the Grandmaster possesses a clear and discerning mind and astonishing martial arts skills, making him a master of martial arts.

However, there are differences even among grandmasters.

Those who can rival pseudo-celestial beings are absolute powerhouses, even on the list of legendary masters!
Such powerful individuals are so rare that they rival even martial arts celestials! In fact, they are even rarer.
More than anything!

From Elder Heng, Chen Ping'an also learned some information about Elder Qingfan. Although it wasn't much, it was still a very useful supplement for Chen Ping'an.

Master Heng lived for many years, more than six decades, during which he experienced many worldly affairs and learned many secrets and stories.

The Grand Master of the Imperial Sacrifices, Leng Ding Qing Fan, of the Canglong Prefecture Zhenfu Division, has been in existence for over six hundred years.

Even when Heng was young, his opponent was already a renowned martial arts grandmaster.

Among grandmasters, he is considered to have an amazing talent.

When he first broke through to the next realm and became a Grandmaster, he defeated a top-tier Grandmaster. According to old rumors, the battle was extremely dangerous. If Qing Fan hadn't held back, that top-tier Grandmaster, who had been famous for many years, would probably have died on the spot.

With such achievements despite being a newcomer, his reputation and status are no less than those of a Grandmaster.

After that, he made great strides and progressed rapidly, eventually reaching the late stage of the Jade Balance Realm.

After traveling for over a hundred years, when he returned, he had become a pseudo-celestial being in martial arts!

Whether someone is a pseudo-celestial being or not is all talk behind their back. If they were face to face, everyone would inevitably address them as Celestial Martial Lord or Venerable Qingfan. As he spoke, Elder Heng's face was full of awe.

Even a pseudo-celestial being is an unattainable existence for a grandmaster.

The fact that a pseudo-celestial being can live for eight hundred years is enough to make countless grandmasters envious.

Not to mention, techniques such as moving like a streak of light and flying through the air.

The gap between a Grandmaster and a Pseudo-Celestial Being is like a chasm, impossible to cross. This is a gap between major realms, incomparable to any minor realm or small step.

On this basis, when Elder Heng suddenly heard that someone had crossed borders to fight, stood on equal footing, and even repelled the opponent, his shock was beyond words.

Chen Ping'an naturally echoed Heng Lao's amazement with a few words.

Frankly speaking, the spectacle is astonishing. To fight against celestial beings with such ferocity and power is a rare feat in the world.

So much so.

Elder Heng was quite touched by Chen Ping'an's agreement and did not find anything amiss.

"Ping An, with your steady progress, amass wealth and build a solid foundation, you may one day reach such a level!"

Chen Ping'an readily echoed Heng Lao's encouragement.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the two parted ways.

After this detailed discussion, Chen Ping'an also understood.

The Gu family was unaware of the specific reasons for last night's attack. Or rather, Elder Heng was unclear about it. Their intelligence was limited; they only knew of the night raid, but not the cause or what happened in between.

However, Elder Heng also vaguely mentioned that the cause of this matter might be related to Li Wusheng. According to subsequent analysis, the outbreak of the fierce battle seems to have started at the Li family mansion.

When this matter was mentioned, Elder Heng couldn't help but glance at Chen Ping'an a few more times.

If he remembered correctly, Chen Ping'an and Li Wusheng didn't seem to get along very well. Previously, when Elder Lan attended Chen Ping'an's younger sister's coming-of-age ceremony, he specifically mentioned Li Wusheng's provocative visit afterward.

She also intended to use her family background to influence and pressure Li Wusheng.

This incident occurred while the matter was still being planned.

I wonder what Li Wusheng's situation is like?
As the beginning of the fierce battle, the Li family mansion must have suffered considerable damage.

This incident can be seen as a way of venting Chen Ping'an's anger.

Henglao's thoughts were shifting as he pondered these matters.

However, he had limited information and was unaware that Li Wusheng was dead. Furthermore, due to the vast difference in strength, he didn't even consider the possibility of Chen Ping'an's involvement.

"Ping An, after this incident, it seems Li Wusheng won't be able to torment you for a while!" Elder Heng said.

Chen Ping'an nodded slightly.

It seems that the news of Li Wusheng's death has not yet truly spread. Even a powerful figure like Elder Heng is unaware of it.

After leaving the Gu family, Chen Ping'an went straight back to his own courtyard.

Come to think of it, he didn't see Gu Qingcheng this time.

I don't know if she's in seclusion or simply doesn't want to see him.

At this thought, Chen Ping'an couldn't help but recall the scene under the moonlight last night.

Fireworks were dazzling, the moonlight was hazy, and a beautiful woman with dark hair and a moon-colored dress stood quietly by the lake.

It's good that Gu Qingcheng didn't lose her temper or get angry with him on the spot.

Still thinking about meeting them?
"Really."

Chen Pingan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Last night, I was really like I was bewitched; I just kissed him without thinking.

For some inexplicable reason, Chen Ping'an still can't figure out what he was thinking back then.

Logically speaking, given his character, this shouldn't be the case!

Or perhaps she was truly bewitched, lost in the gentleness beneath Gu Qingcheng's aloof demeanor, and thus strayed from her heart.

Chen Ping'an focused his mind, stopped thinking about it, and closed his eyes again.

hum~
A bluish light appeared, and true essence circulated.

"Have you checked it out?"

Liang Xiaoxian looked at Kuang Lanke not far away, a barely perceptible hint of surprise in her eyes.

Who would have thought that their trip to Canglong to win over Chen Ping'an, the savage swordsman, would end up like this?

A mysterious powerhouse at the Grandmaster level launched a night raid on Canglong Prefecture City and clashed with a pseudo-celestial being from the Canglong Prefecture Garrison.

In the end, they actually managed to escape unscathed?
This tactic.
Even though Liang Xiaoxian was very knowledgeable, she couldn't help but be amazed by the other party's abilities.

Even on the list of Grandmasters of the Wind and Cloud, there are fewer than twenty people who can rival the pseudo-Celestials! Even if there are some reclusive powerhouses who are not on the list and whose achievements are not outstanding, their number is definitely not very large.

Even if we exclude all members of the royal bloodline and military elites who are not included in any lists, this number is still extremely rare.

Given the vastness of a dynasty, let alone a single province, even spanning more than ten provinces, one might not encounter such a person in many situations.

It's already difficult to even encounter one, let alone a full-blown fight.

Leng Ding Qingfan, the Grand Elder of the Canglong Prefecture's Garrison Command, was based in the Bicang Prince's Mansion and possessed extensive intelligence. During her visit to Canglong, she had conducted some basic research on him. Although he wasn't skilled in direct combat, in terms of overall combat prowess and difficulty in dealing with him, he was definitely not weak among pseudo-celestial beings.

The fact that the opponent was able to break free from Leng Ding Qingfan's entanglement and even defeat him head-on with a single blow, causing Leng Ding Qingfan to dare not pursue further, shows that his strength is simply terrifying!
Among these powerful individuals, those capable of direct combat are extremely rare, even among the top twenty on the Wind and Cloud Ranking.

"Miss Liang, we've roughly figured it out, but there are still some details that we don't understand yet due to limited information." Kuang Lan Ke, dressed in a long robe, had a slightly solemn expression.

"That's right. The source of yesterday's battle should be Li Wusheng from the Canglong Prefecture Garrison."

"The Absolute Sound Palm, Li Wusheng?" Liang Xiaoxian asked in surprise, "What does it have to do with him?"

"The initial commotion came from Li Wusheng's residence. Leng Ding Qingfan's streaks of light burst forth, speeding all the way from the Canglong Prefecture's Zhenfu Division to provide support. The entire process was purposeful, without any pauses or delays! Only after that did the night chase and the fierce battle in the dead of night occur!" Kuang Lanke recounted what he knew.

"You mean," Liang Xiaoxian's gaze sharpened, her expression thoughtful, "what about Li Wusheng?"

"I don't know, he hasn't shown up yet." Kuang Lanke's expression was somewhat solemn.

"What was the reaction of the Garrison Command?"

"It seems like an emergency review meeting was held, and I'm not sure what happened after that. Time was limited, and our main foundation isn't here, so..."

Liang Xiaoxian didn't speak; she had already vaguely grasped the underlying pattern.

"Do you think Li Wusheng could do it?" The old man with the split earth seemed to understand as well.

Kuanglanke shook his head and remained silent.

After a brief silence, Liang Xiaoxian's voice rang out.

"If I remember correctly, this Li Wusheng has a grudge against Chen Ping'an."

"Hmm?" Kuang Lanke looked at Liang Xiaoxian in surprise: "Miss Liang, do you mean this matter is related to Mang Dao?"

"Mm." Liang Xiaoxian nodded.

"Impossible!" The old man with the split earth grinned and clearly objected: "Mang Dao comes from humble beginnings, with no foundation or background. Even if he has made connections with the Gu family, it's only for a short time. The Gu family wouldn't take such a big risk for him. Besides, where did he get the connections to that mysterious expert?"

Liang Xiaoxian remained silent, knowing that Liedi Sou's analysis was correct. However, based on her intuition, she felt that this matter was subtly connected to Chen Ping'an, the ruthless swordsman.

Especially after she learned of the hidden strength of the ruthless swordsman Chen Ping'an.

A martial arts grandmaster who is not yet twenty-six!
"Miss Liang, you don't think that Mang Dao did this on his own, do you?" Seeing that Liang Xiaoxian didn't speak, Liedi Sou added directly.

However, before he could finish speaking, he laughed: "Although Chen Ping'an, the 'Wild Blade,' possesses great talent, he has also concealed some of his strength. But this mysterious expert is capable of defeating Leng Ding Qing Fan head-on. The difference between the two cannot be described in just a few words!"

The Earth-Splitter laughed loudly.

Kuanglan Ke, who was standing to the side, nodded slightly in agreement.

Indeed, no matter how much one fantasizes, it's impossible for that mysterious powerful figure from last night to be connected to Chen Ping'an, the Brute.

Leaving aside the question of whether he could hide well in front of a pseudo-celestial being, the mere mention of strength eliminates that possibility.

Last night, they could see the fierce battle in the night sky from below. The shock, the momentum, and the aftershocks were beyond description in just a word or two.

They stood below, not daring to approach at all. Faced with such a powerful figure, even the two of them, Kuanglan Liedi, working together, had no confidence whatsoever.

They have been famous for many years and have now reached the level of Grandmasters. When they join forces, they are strong enough to overpower the Grandmasters at the bottom of the rankings.

That is why they are so keenly aware of the difference between grandmasters.

Ordinary, powerful, top-tier, unparalleled, legendary.
Each level is distinct and has a huge gap between them, with countless small steps between each level.

Even if Mang Dao held back, it couldn't possibly have reached this level.

Liang Xiaoxian did not refute this, because she thought so too.

The old man's words lessened her suspicions somewhat.

Yes, no matter how well Chen Ping'an, the ruthless swordsman, hides himself, he could never hide so deeply.

Besides, he's only a few years old!

If one could truly achieve such accomplishments, why would there be any need to hide them? If they were to reveal them, not only would their Bicang County Prince's Mansion be able to recruit them, but even a behemoth like the Snow God Palace within the dynasty's borders would likely make an exception and accept them as a Holy Son.

She was on equal footing with Xuan Yue Li, who was renowned throughout the four realms of the dynasty and stood proudly at the pinnacle of prodigies.

The Snow God Palace, with its unfathomable depths, possesses countless resources and spiritual treasures.

With such a smooth path, why would Chen Ping'an, the valiant swordsman, need to hide and improve on his own?
Thinking of this, Liang Xiaoxian's suspicions lessened somewhat.

Even if that faint intuition remained, it was at most enough to connect the matter to the fact that it was somewhat related to the Mangdao.

The idea of ​​personally taking action, a deeply hidden notion, was completely dispelled.

He's concealed his Grandmaster level, isn't that enough?! Could it be that this brute really has three heads and six arms, and started cultivating from the womb?!

With this thought in mind, Liang Xiaoxian lowered her gaze slightly, her skirt fluttering, and stood up from the stone bench.

"Yes, what the old man said makes sense."

This matter is temporarily concluded. We will observe the situation and wait for my adoptive father's reply, after which we will settle this matter and return to Bicang.

"Hehe." The old man with dark skin and sparse hair on his forehead stared intently at Liang Xiaoxian's rounded legs under her skirt: "I'll leave it to Miss Liang to decide."

Kuanglan Ke, standing to the side, didn't say much, but just watched the two of them with great interest.

The raging waves shattered the earth, and after hundreds of years of friendship, Tian became a first-class guest elder of the Bicang County Prince's Mansion. The two of them working together might be equivalent to a special-class guest elder.

The nighttime attack and fierce battle in the sky were widely known. Coupled with the building collapse and casualties, the news spread throughout Canglong Prefecture within a single day, causing a public outcry.

Rumors spread like wildfire, with various interpretations emerging.

Some say that the Azure Dragon's order is unstable, and the dead of night is proof of that.

Some say that last night's events were retaliation by the Tianluo Sect, and that even more intense actions are to come.

In addition, there are numerous other pronouncements and opinions.

The rumors caused widespread panic and fear.

Above the Grandmaster level lies the lifeblood of all forces. Such crucial information would naturally not be ignored. All factions are investigating the events of last night.

However, apart from a very few forces with deep foundations and extensive intelligence sources, the vast majority of forces simply made a futile effort.

Those forces that managed to gather information mostly only had a superficial understanding; they knew that a powerful figure had attacked, but they were unaware of the details.

Regarding this matter, the Canglong Prefecture Garrison Command fell into an unspeakable silence.

Amidst the silence of the Canglong Prefecture's Zhenfu Division, some perceptive forces sensed an impending storm.

During this phase, a new wave of public opinion has emerged, which has mitigated the impact of the incident.

Gu Qingcheng, the pride of the Gu family, celebrated her promotion with a top-tier divine weapon, a gesture that was both astonishing and admirable.

On the night of the celebration, Mang Dao stayed overnight at the Gu family's house, seemingly sharing a passionate embrace and sleeping together!
