As a Holy Disciple, Gu Qingxun was qualified to be the suzerain. That was to say, even if Gu Qingxun didn't become Daoist Qing Song's disciple, she wouldn't be degraded. However, after she became Daoist Qing Song's disciple, the other Holy Disciples of Penglai Island didn't dare to do anything to her. After all, Daoist Qing Song was behind Gu Qingxun, who was also the suzerain of Penglai Island. Who would dare to challenge the suzerain's dignity in public unless they had the strength to challenge the suzerain directly?
After becoming Daoist Qing Song's personal disciple, Gu Qingxun used some of the things she learned in the Mysterious Holy Palace on how to conduct herself. Not only did she build a closer relationship with many of her peers in Penglai Island, but she also made Daoist Qing Song happy. In front of Daoist Qing Song, she was an obedient and well-behaved disciple. Not only did she know how to please her master, but she could also complete many tasks given by her master. She had become Daoist Qing Song's right-hand man.
Of course, Daoist Qing Song didn't completely lose his vigilance against Gu Qingxun. However, now that Gu Qingxun was his disciple, Daoist Qing Song believed that he could completely control Gu Qingxun. Besides, he needed Gu Qingxun to do some important things because Gu Qingxun could always complete all kinds of tasks smoothly, which made him feel relieved. Daoist Qing Song couldn't help but think that when he got tired of the position of suzerain, it would be a good choice to push Gu Qingxun to the position of suzerain.
However, Daoist Qing Song didn't expect that Gu Qingxun's influence in Penglai Island had been growing. Every time Gu Qingxun went on a task, she would choose some trustworthy and worthy people from her peers who were accompanying her. Then, with Qin Lang's hints, she would firmly draw these peers to her side. However, she didn't show these things. She just let her followers continue to "lurk", waiting for the day when they could be put to use.
However, there were some things that even Qin Lang couldn't completely predict. One day, Daoist Qing Song suddenly gave Gu Qingxun a task. He asked her to take some people to explore the relic of Mount Yuanji again.
Ever since the Three Mountains Battle Deities and Immortals Gathering, the formation around the Yuanzhang Mountain relic had disappeared, and Gu Qingxun had taken away the Earth Root. The so-called Yuanzhang Mountain relic was no longer of much value. The remaining treasures and cultivation resources had long been divided among the cultivators of the Three Great Immortal Mountains and other forces. Therefore, Daoist Qing Song's request for Gu Qingxun to explore the Yuanzhang Mountain relic was actually meaningless. At least, Gu Qingxun thought it was just an ordinary mission.
However, Qin Lang didn't think so. After hearing the news, he said to Gu Qingxun, "Luckily, you told me about this mission. Otherwise, you wouldn't even know how you died!"
"It can't be that serious, right? It's just a very ordinary mission. "Gu Qingxun didn't see anything wrong with it.
"Just a normal mission? Then why did Daoist Qing Song want you to go? " Qin Lang snorted coldly. "The missions that Daoist Qing Song gives you have always been a bit difficult. Why would he need you to complete an ordinary mission?"
"Then why are you so sure that I'll be killed?" Gu Qingxun asked unhappily. She didn't think that Qin Lang could predict everything.
"The reason is simple. It's because Daoist Qing Song wants to kill you!" Qin Lang's tone was very certain.
"How … how is that possible? Master … "
"Master? When you first became his disciple, you might not have been that sincere. Therefore, don't expect Daoist Qing Song to really treat you as his direct disciple. He just thinks that you have value. Moreover, you've done a lot for him these days. Of course, he's very happy and values you. However, don't forget that the most important reason why he accepted you as his disciple was because of the cultivation technique you gave him. As for now, I don't know why or why he wants to kill you, but I'm sure that he really wants to kill you, "Qin Lang said.
Gu Qingxun was a bit unhappy. Daoist Qing Song had been treating her well these days. He gave her pointers on cultivation from time to time and only taught her some principles. He had indeed fulfilled his responsibility as a master, and Gu Qingxun even felt some fatherly love from him. She didn't expect that Daoist Qing Song would want to kill her in the blink of an eye. The difference was too great.
"When you were in the Mystic Saint Palace, didn't you see the heartless side of cultivators? Even father and son might not be able to work together, let alone a master and a disciple. I know you still don't believe it, but let's wait and see. This time, you should be more prepared. I'll go with you and see how Daoist Qing Song will deal with you. " Qin Lang said to Gu Qingxun. The sudden turn of events surprised Qin Lang. He wanted to know what Daoist Qing Song wanted to sacrifice Gu Qingxun. It should be known that Gu Qingxun was also very useful to Daoist Qing Song.
Since Qin Lang said to wait and see, Gu Qingxun didn't say much. However, she didn't dare to neglect Qin Lang's suggestion. She was well-prepared and even brought two trustworthy direct disciples to follow her to the Yuanzhang Mountain relic. Of course, Qin Lang went with them.
When Gu Qingxun and the others left Penglai Island, Daoist Qing Song gazed at Gu Qingxun's departing figure from Mount Penglai and sighed inwardly. "Qingxun, I have to let you down this time. Don't blame me for being heartless. It's just that the Immortal Dao is heartless."
Because they were familiar with the route, Gu Qingxun, Qin Lang, and the others easily found the location of the Yuanzhang Mountain relic. Now, the relic was still quietly standing upside down at the bottom of the sea. However, ever since the "formation restriction" disappeared, this place had become an endless place for cultivators to train and try their luck. It was a good place for cultivators to train themselves and test their luck. Forget the cultivators from the Three Great Immortal Mountains, there were also many cultivators from other forces who would come and go here. There were even some ocean monsters, ocean yaos and some ancient and powerful creatures.
Ever since the Earth's Root of Yuanzhang Mountain was taken away and the formation restriction disappeared, this place quickly became a true "relic." After being eroded by the seawater, the Yuanzhang Mountain now had a strong sense of vicissitudes of history — it was dilapidated everywhere. This was all thanks to the cultivators who came here to search for treasures. It seemed like they couldn't wait to turn the Yuanzhang Mountain relic over again.
However, Gu Qingxun still did not sense any danger. Although there were quite a number of cultivators coming and going, they were all smart people. Before seeing any treasures, no one would start a fight. After all, even if one were to risk their lives, one would need a good reason to do so.
"Master … Daoist Qing Song told me to come here and explore. What's there to explore? I don't think there's anything useful left here!" Gu Qingxun said to Qin Lang through his divine sense.
