Chapter 348: Chapter 252: The Depth of the Holy Land
In the City Lord Mansion.
Fu Shenjun and Gu Qingfeng took their seats respectively. The original manager of Taixu City, actually an elder of the Taixu Sacred Land, now merely sat at a lower position.
There was no helping it.
Fu Shenjun was a being of the Taoist Palace Realm Ninth Layer and also the Peak Master of the Ninth Peak, holding a revered status, second only to the Saint Master of the Taixu Sacred Land.
As for the other person,
although not from Taixu Sacred Land, he was a peerless powerhouse, suspected to be on par with Saints.
a mere ordinary elder of Taixu Sacred Land was naturally nothing significant.
“Mr. Gu’s reputation had reached me long before, but seeing you today, I know the rumors don’t lie!”
Fu Shenjun smiled slightly, his words quite polite towards Gu Qingfeng.
Before he saw Gu Qingfeng, he had some doubts about the strength of this Number One Powerhouse of the Nine States.
But after actually meeting Gu Qingfeng, Fu Shenjun understood the rumors were true.
In his eyes, Gu Qingfeng now seemed like an unfathomable abyss, as if his ordinary flesh concealed a terrifying power capable of destroying heaven and earth.
Fu Shenjun was certain.
If he were to fight with this man, he would undoubtedly be defeated.
Regarding this outcome,
it was both shocking and yet expected to Fu Shenjun.
After all, this was someone with the achievements of exploding Holy Weapons.
“Mr. Fu, you flatter me too much!”
Gu Qingfeng was polite in his response.
“Mr. Fu’s cultivation is profound, perhaps only a step away from the Half-Saint Realm. When the era of great contention arrives, there will surely be a place among the Saints for Mr. Fu!”
Gu Qingfeng did not lie about.
With his current eyesight, he could tell that the cultivation and energy of Fu Shenjun before him were significantly stronger than that of an ordinary Ninth Layer of the Taoist Palace Realm.
as Gu Qingfeng understood,
this person was not very old.
when the era of great contention arrived, it wouldn’t be a problem.
With his talent and foundation, there was a considerable hope for him to become a Saint in that era.
Gu Qingfeng’s words brought a few more smiles to Fu Shenjun’s face, “Such kind words from Mr. Gu, I shall take to heart. May I ask if Mr. Gu has come to Taixu City to meet Gu Xuan?”
“That is one of the reasons.”
Gu Qingfeng nodded slightly, but from his information panel, he could tell that Gu Xuan was currently not in Taixu Sacred Land.
At Gu Qingfeng’s words, Fu Shenjun’s expression turned regretful, “Gu Xuan and other Taixu Sacred Land disciples are currently training in a secret realm, and it will be difficult for them to return anytime soon.
If possible, Mr. Gu could accompany me to the Ninth Peak of Taixu Sacred Land and stay there while waiting for Gu Xuan’s return.”
Facing such a powerhouse, Fu Shenjun naturally hoped to draw him into Taixu Sacred Land.
Gu Qingfeng was a powerhouse of the Nine States, and his progeny had even established the Divine Martial Dynasty,
he couldn’t join another force.
Many talents from smaller forces often try by all means to join larger forces, which is a common thing.
trying to get Gu Qingfeng to join Taixu Sacred Land was an impossible matter.
After all, with his level of cultivation, there was no one in Taixu Sacred Land who was qualified to instruct him.
But if he could be made a Guest Elder or even an elder, that would also establish a connection.
However, facing Fu Shenjun’s invitation, Gu Qingfeng shook his head slightly, “I appreciate your kind intentions, Mr. Fu, but I have other matters to attend to on this trip and am afraid I cannot head to Taixu Sacred Land.”
Fu Shenjun’s expression changed slightly, “May I ask what matters Mr. Gu has? Although Taixu Sacred Land is not the most profound, it still has some foundation in the Eastern Domain.
If needed, Taixu Sacred Land can also lend a hand!”
“This is a matter of conflict between my Gu Family and the forces of the Southern Domain, it would be inappropriate to involve Taixu Sacred Land.”
Gu Qingfeng shook his head in rejection.
However, when he mentioned the forces of the Southern Domain, Fu Shenjun’s expression changed repeatedly.
The Ninth Peak’s Peak Master hadn’t expected the Gu Family to be involved with the Southern Domain forces.
Seemingly seeing the confusion on Fu Shenjun’s face, Gu Qingfeng didn’t hide anything and simply stated,
“My inept third son was surrounded and attacked by many forces in the Southern Domain, then stepped into an Ancient Transfer Array and his whereabouts became unknown,so as a father, I naturally cannot sit by and do nothing.”
“How courageous, which forces dared to lay hands on Mr. Gu’s son!”
Fu Shenjun’s expression turned stern, seeming to be quite angered by the issue.
Gu Qingfeng continued, “There were many forces that took action, with the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land as the enemy, which is why I am here to borrow the Transmission Array of Taixu City and make a trip to the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land!”
“Ancient Desolate Sacred Land!”
Upon hearing this name, Fu Shenjun’s expression became much more solemn.
“Does Mr. Gu plan to take action against the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land?”
“The foundation of the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land is profound; a Saint King Realm powerhouse emerged from there a hundred thousand years ago. Although that Saint King has surely perished, their foundation remains.
I do not mean to underestimate Mr. Gu, but the foundation of these ancient sacred lands is not as simple as it appears on the surface.
If Mr. Gu really intends to take action, please think thrice!”
Having learned that Gu Qingfeng intended to make a move against the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land, Fu Shenjun no longer showed his earlier anger. His expression serious, he voiced his opinion.
Gu Qingfeng asked, “Does Mr. Fu perhaps know something?”
Upon hearing this, Fu Shenjun pondered for a moment, then slowly began to speak.
“Well, since Gu Xuan is a True Disciple of my Ninth Peak and Mr. Gu is somewhat related to the Ninth Peak, there’s no need for me to hide certain secrets.”
