Qin Lang, Gu Qingxun, and the other three returned to Penglai Island without a hitch.
Putting aside Gu Qingxun's two followers for now, because they weren't the focus of attention, all the cultivators on Penglai Island knew that Gu Qingxun had killed thousands of Immortal-Slaying Golden Guards. This news was earth-shattering, because no one knew what would happen next. Would Penglai Island be destroyed?
But one thing was for sure — Gu Qingxun had established immeasurable prestige in the hearts of the disciples of Penglai Island. As long as Gu Qingxun didn't die, she would easily surpass any Sacred Disciple and be qualified to become the suzerain of Penglai Island!
It wasn't because of Gu Qingxun's cultivation level or strength, but because she had done something that all the suzerains of Penglai Island hadn't done or dared to do — she had taught the Sea People's Tribe a hard lesson and broken their legend! She had profaned the pride of the Sea People's Tribe!
A person who had done something that others couldn't do naturally deserved respect. There was no doubt about this.
However, the first person to jump out and question this was Gu Qingxun's master, Daoist Qing Song. At this time, Daoist Qing Song said loudly, "Gu Qingxun! I didn't expect you to cause such a great disaster! The Master only asked you to go to the relic of Mount Yuanzhang to investigate the situation. Who knew that you would become enemies with the Sea People's Tribe and kill so many Immortal-Slaying Golden Guards? How can the Sea People let this go? You've brought an unimaginable disaster to Penglai Island! You're simply a jinx! "
Daoist Qing Song appeared to be distressed and looked like he was going to condemn her, which was exactly the same as what Qin Lang was thinking. As a result, Gu Qingxun didn't feel angry at all at this moment, because she completely believed in Qin Lang's point of view. She knew that Daoist Qing Song was only putting on an act at this moment. He was trying to force her to die and was trying his best to kill her.
Although Qin Lang and Gu Qingxun didn't know what kind of deal Taoist Qing Song had made with someone to sacrifice Gu Qingxun's life to achieve the condition, they were completely sure of Taoist Qing Song's evil intention. Therefore, Gu Qingxun didn't plead guilty at this time. Instead, he argued back, "Master, no, Suzerain, you think I'm a jinx. Don't you think I've made Mount Penglai proud?"
"Long face? A catastrophe is coming. What kind of face are you giving to Penglai Island? " Daoist Qing Song snorted coldly. If it weren't for the others present, he would probably have personally suppressed Gu Qingxun and Qin Lang.
Of course, in Daoist Qing Song's eyes, Qin Lang was only a loyal follower of Gu Qingxun. However, because he was very loyal, he had to be eliminated.
"Suzerain, that depends on what you think. To be able to provoke the dignity of the Oceanmen without fear of retaliation, what about Endless? Isn't this something to be proud of for the cultivators of the sea? "
"In the Deity Assembly of the Three Mountains Seizing the Champion, I won the championship and obtained the Earth's Root of Mount Yuanzhang. Isn't this something to be proud of?"
"In the face of thousands of Immortal-Slaying Golden Guards, the four of us can't fight them! Kill them! Isn't shocking the world something to be proud of? "
"Also, I didn't yield to Sect Master Penglai's condemnation. This is also something to be proud of!" Gu Qingxun said all of this in one breath. Every sentence was inspiring and made people's blood boil.
The most important thing was that Gu Qingxun said that he had killed over a thousand Immortal-Slaying Golden Guards. This indeed made the cultivators of Penglai Island feel proud and elated. It should be known that because of the existence of the Immortal-Slaying Golden Guards, many cultivators from Penglai Island, Fangzhang Island, and Yingzhou Island had died at their hands. Otherwise, where did the two words "Immortal-Slaying" come from? However, because of their fear of the sea people's powerful influence, and because of the fights between cultivators, life and death often happened. Therefore, the three immortal mountains acted as if these things had never happened. However, the cultivators and disciples of these sects knew what was going on. They had long hated the sea people to the bone, but they didn't dare to voice their anger. Now that Gu Qingxun had done what they wanted to do but didn't dare to do, the cultivators of Penglai Island supported Gu Qingxun from the bottom of their hearts.
In contrast, Daoist Qing Song, the sect master, was more or less vexed. At least as a sect master, Daoist Qing Song had always appeared steady and courteous, but he lacked a domineering appearance. He walked the path of refinement and had always been relatively weak when facing the sea people. As the sect master of Penglai Island, Daoist Qing Song could be considered to have led Penglai Island in a better direction. However, most of the time, what the public wanted wasn't just a steady improvement. After getting tired of being plain, perhaps many people wanted something spectacular? Through Gu Qingxun, many cultivators of Penglai Island saw what a true spectacular was.
Unfortunately, Daoist Qing Song obviously wanted to suppress such a spectacular and kill Gu Qingxun. Therefore, he said coldly, "Gu Qingxun! It's fine that you caused trouble, but how dare you mislead the public with your lies! Have you forgotten how the Mystic Sacred Palace was destroyed? Do you want to bring disaster to Penglai Island? "
"How was the Mystic Sacred Palace destroyed? It was because they weren't strong enough. They were too weak! "
Although the Mystic Sacred Palace was Gu Qingxun's sore point, she faced it directly and showed no intention of backing down. "Daoist Qing Song, as the sect master of Penglai Island and my master, what did you do when I was fighting the Immortal-Slaying Golden Guards? You should know that I, Gu Qingxun, didn't go to the Yuanzhang Mountain relic this time for my personal gains or losses. It was for the sect's mission, which was also the mission you gave me! Therefore, I didn't fight the Immortal-Slaying Golden Guards for myself, but for the prestige of Penglai Island! Unfortunately, when I was fighting, you didn't support me. After I won, as the Sect Leader of Penglai Immortal Mountain, you didn't feel any pride for me and didn't give me any praise. Instead, you blamed me for bringing disaster to Penglai Immortal Mountain! Let me ask you, didn't I make a great contribution to Penglai Island when I retrieved the Earth's Root from Yuanzhang Mountain? Even if I'm in trouble now, why don't you think about making up for it and saving me? Instead, you want to kill me. What is this? Are you trying to get rid of me after I've outlived my usefulness? Are you planning to kill me to appease the anger of the sea people because I'm no longer of any use to you? "
