Chapter 339

Qingyun Sect, Tongtian Peak, Ancestral Shrine.

Dao Xuan Zhenren held incense in his hands, bowed to the spirit tablets of the ancestors, and said while offering the incense: "Ancestors above, your unworthy disciple has been fortunate enough to become the Sect Leader of the Qingyun Sect. Through painstaking efforts, Qingyun has finally returned to its peak. Now, Fenxiang Valley bows its head, Tianyin Temple has retreated from the world, and the Demon Sect is no longer a threat. The Qingyun Sect has finally ushered in an era of great prosperity..."

After the chanting ended, Dao Xuan Zhenren turned around and looked at Wan Jianyi behind him, the various Peak Masters of the Qingyun Sect, and Gu Qing, who was being supported by Lu Xueqi.

"Cough, cough..."

Gu Qing coughed twice, the corners of his mouth cracked.

This was not a pretense. The "Infatuation Curse" was a technique that completely sacrificed one's own blood and Qi. At this moment, a connection had been formed between his three souls and seven spirits and the Yin Jiuyou Palace, the place where spirits return. As the effect of the "Three-Day Death Pill" was about to fade, his soul showed signs of dissipating.

Not to mention the toxicity of the Three-Day Death Pill, just using the Infatuation Curse twice was enough to send Gu Qing to the Nine Nethers.

"Don't worry."

Before Lu Xueqi could speak, Gu Qing spoke first, his smile pale and miserable, saying: "I won't die like this."

Lu Xueqi's face was pale, her expression sorrowful. She didn't even dare to use strength while holding Gu Qing's hand, only nodding forcefully, tears welling up in her eyes. She channeled the Taiji Xuanqing Dao, the Great Brahma Prajna, and even the Immortal Embryo True Method from the Cihang Sword Manual into Gu Qing's body, only to feel that Gu Qing's body was like a sieve, unable to retain even a trace of True Essence.

This was no longer a matter of reversing life and death using the "Undying Seal Method."

"... Don't worry."

Gu Qing saw Lu Xueqi's worry and said again: "I can use the Blood-Devouring Bead to absorb the blood and Qi from my body and hold onto my soul."

Lu Xueqi nodded heavily.

Dao Xuan Zhenren walked up to Gu Qing, reached out and pressed his hand on Gu Qing's pulse. Sensing his True Essence, he sighed silently. Gu Qing's condition was already a miracle to be alive. If he were treated at a pharmacy in Heyang City, the doctors of the current age would all have to open a separate page for Gu Qing and name a terminal illness after him.

"Do you have any other wishes?"

Dao Xuan Zhenren looked at Gu Qing.

Wan Jianyi, the various Peak Masters of the Qingyun Sect, and the elders all sighed silently. Only by truly facing the Beast God could one know how much Gu Qing had contributed to the common people of the world, not to mention pacifying the Ghost King Sect, seizing the Fulong Cauldron, sweeping away Fenxiang Valley, and expanding the Qingyun Sect, etc...

Gu Qing's contributions to the Qingyun Sect and the common people of the world exceeded those of all previous ancestors.

"I..."

Gu Qing opened his mouth, his gaze falling on Lu Xueqi's stunning face, and he smiled miserably, saying: "Xueqi, immortality may be ethereal, but your future is still long. You will meet someone who loves you, and you will be a good mother..."

"Stop talking!"

Lu Xueqi broke down completely, burying her head in front of Gu Qing, weeping uncontrollably, and said angrily: "I will never marry anyone else!"

Gu Qing reached out and stroked Lu Xueqi's hair, then looked up at Wan Jianyi.

"Master..."

Gu Qing smiled miserably and said: "I'm afraid you won't be able to pass on the 'Slaying Ghosts and Gods' to me..."

Wan Jianyi scratched his hair and squatted in front of Gu Qing. What this rebellious disciple had done might have been somewhat unorthodox, but it was ultimately a good thing for the world. The "True Monarch of Resolving Calamities and Relieving Disasters" discussed by the Qingyun Sect and Tianyin Temple was no lie.

Because of Gu Qing, Cangsong had returned to the righteous path.

Wan Jianyi had also escaped from the Ancestral Shrine because of Gu Qing.

Although he had paid with a bit of his reputation...

"The profound meaning of 'Slaying Ghosts and Gods' is very simple. You are very intelligent; once I explain it to you, you will understand..."

Wan Jianyi was about to reveal the profound meaning of Slaying Ghosts and Gods.

"No..."

Gu Qing's aura was sluggish, his eyes weak, and he said miserably: "My regret is not Slaying Ghosts and Gods, but you, Master. Your talent and brilliance are rare in the world, and there are many people who like you. I hope you can let go of your stubbornness and find someone who loves you to live a stable life..."

This disciple had ruined his reputation, but it was only to give him a place to belong...

Wan Jianyi was about to shed tears.

"Master..."

Gu Qing said again: "What do you think of Master Shuiyue?"

In front of these many Peak Masters, Wan Jianyi looked up at Master Shuiyue beside him. Their eyes met; Master Shuiyue, over a hundred years old, still lowered her eyes and glanced sideways, blushing slightly.

"This..."

Wan Jianyi was caught off guard and found it difficult to answer. Shuiyue was certainly good, but...

"Then how about Zhu Que of the Demon Sect..."

Gu Qing said again: "We also need to win over the Demon Sect. If you marry Zhu Que, it will be considered an alliance with the Demon Sect."

Zhu Que?

Wan Jianyi thought of that mysterious woman. A hundred years ago, Zhu Que was bright and generous, and not long ago, when Wan Jianyi followed Gu Qing to Fox Mountain, he saw Zhu Que again. She was wearing a veil, her eyes resentful, just looking at him like that...

Wan Jianyi didn't know what to say.

"If it's an alliance, why not choose me?"

Outside the Ancestral Shrine, a delicate shout came. The various Peak Masters of the Qingyun Sect looked out and saw Bi Yao, dressed in emerald green and wearing the Acacia Bell, with a hint of thin anger on her face, looking angrily into the shrine. Beside her was Zhu Que, whom they had just been discussing.

Lu Xueqi moved slightly, blocking Gu Qing, her eyes like frost as she looked at Bi Yao.

Ten years ago, Gu Qing's identity was unusual. On the surface, he left Qingyun, but in private, he often met with Lu Xueqi at Xiaozhu Peak. Whenever there was a "scandal" outside, Gu Qing would return to Xiaozhu Peak to explain. Lu Xueqi knew exactly what kind of thoughts Bi Yao, who had been entangled with Gu Qing every time over these ten years, had.

"Do you also want to be locked in the Illusory Moon Cave?"

Lu Xueqi asked coldly.

This Ancestral Shrine was behind Qingyun, shrouded by the Zhuxian Sword Array, so one could not fly in by sword. The reason Bi Yao and Zhu Que could suddenly appear here was that the Qingyun Sect had granted them grace to go to the Illusory Moon Cave to visit the Ghost King.

This hero who wanted to dominate the world had already begun a new round of forbearance.

Bi Yao pursed her lips, took a deep breath, walked up quickly, bypassed Lu Xueqi's obstruction, looked straight at Gu Qing, and said: "You want the Qingyun Sect to flourish, and you also want the Holy Sect to follow your pace, but my Holy Sect has its own rules. Even if it has declined for thousands of years, there will always be a time for it to rise from the ashes. If you want us to submit sincerely, then marry me!"

Bi Yao's eyes were red as she looked at Gu Qing and said: "I will remain a widow for you!"

Good acting!

Gu Qing looked at Bi Yao in shock. Everything before him had been discussed between Gu Qing and Bi Yao.

Over these ten years, Gu Qing had traveled the world, occasionally flirting with Bi Yao, making her love and hate him, but the final step for the two of them required them to act together.

"Anyway, you won't live for many more days."

Bi Yao said tearfully: "You don't even have the strength to consummate the marriage... I don't care."

The various Peak Masters of the Qingyun Sect and Dao Xuan Zhenren all looked at the weeping Bi Yao, feeling that this Demon Sect enchantress was indeed daring in love and hate, being able to say such things openly in public.

Lu Xueqi's eyes were complex, containing murderous intent.

Bi Yao was dauntless.

"After you marry me, the grievances between Qingyun and the Holy Sect can be wiped out..."

Bi Yao squatted down, looking at Gu Qing in front of her. She wasn't sure if Gu Qing could live either. At this moment, she reached out, gently grabbed Gu Qing's hand, and said: "Just consider it for the sake of the common people of the world..."

Hearing this, Gu Qing looked sideways at Lu Xueqi.

"No!"

Lu Xueqi said decisively. Over these ten years, they had been together less and apart more, and she had been sensible enough. Gu Qing had already given everything for the common people of the world. Was this last title also to be taken away by someone else?

Gu Qing smiled and touched his forehead against Lu Xueqi's.

Bi Yao's eyes were gloomy as she looked at the couple in front of her, then suddenly said faintly: "The Three-Day Death Pill was made by Ghost Master, and the Infatuation Curse is a technique of the Holy Sect. Gu Qing, who is hopeless in your eyes, may still have hope in the eyes of our Holy Sect."

Once these words were spoken, the whole scene was horrified.

Lu Xueqi's eyes were bright as she stared at Bi Yao, while Bi Yao was dauntless, only reaching out to grab Gu Qing.

This time, Lu Xueqi compromised.

Because of Gu Qing's lifespan, this wedding was held in a hurry. The location of the wedding made the elders and disciples of the Qingyun Sect somewhat unable to hold back.

"Wedding at the Yuqing Hall of Tongtian Peak!"

"Shouldn't the bridal chamber be arranged in the Ancestral Shrine?"

"The Sect Leader is confused!"

There was a lot of resentment within the Qingyun Sect. Xiao Yicai and Qi Hao stood before the Rainbow Bridge, looking at each other silently.

"Was the Seven-Star Sword really given to Gu Qing?"

Qi Hao asked.

Xiao Yicai was silent. The Seven-Star Sword style was passed down by the Sect Leader, and Gu Qing had learned it. The Illusory Moon Cave was where the Sect Leader could enter, and Gu Qing had gone there. Now that Gu Qing was holding a wedding at the Yuqing Hall, what else could he say?

"I heard from Master that Gu Qing has already reached the Taiqing Realm."

Xiao Yicai said after a moment of silence.

"Forget I said anything."

Qi Hao became honest immediately. He was still struggling at the ninth layer of the Yuqing Realm, and facing a talent monster like Gu Qing, it was truly difficult to win even with all his might.

Dazhu Peak.

Tian Linger leaned in front of Tian Buyi and Su Ru, whispering: "Dad, Mom, I, I also want to marry Senior Brother Gu."

Tian Buyi's face darkened, and he said angrily: "Impossible!"

Su Ru was also helpless and said: "Linger, you should distinguish between admiration and love." When she said this, Su Ru and Tian Buyi looked at each other.

A hundred years ago, Su Ru admired Wan Jianyi, thinking that Wan Jianyi was a rare and wonderful man, while Tian Buyi at that time was short, fat, and clumsy, and would even embarrass himself in front of others. But somehow, he made Su Ru worry about him. After the trip to the wilderness, Wan Jianyi brought back the Moxue Sword for Su Ru, but Su Ru resolutely chose Tian Buyi.

In Su Ru's view, Tian Linger was the same as her now. As long as she calmed down and distinguished carefully, she would be fine.

After all, Gu Qing...

Su Ru recalled the battle in the Ten Thousand Mountains of the Southern Border. Young, Taiqing Realm, a fusion of Dao, Buddha, Demon, Ghost, and Witchcraft, fighting the Beast God for the sake of the common people of the world, and looking first-class... After Su Ru silently listed Gu Qing's advantages in her heart, she suddenly felt that if Gu Qing had been born a hundred years earlier, Tian Buyi probably wouldn't have had a chance.

After all, Gu Qing had a unique quality, which was being able to coax people into happiness in a few words. Even the cold Lu Xueqi was occasionally coaxed by Gu Qing into being shy and speechless.

Thinking of this, Su Ru looked at Tian Linger and felt that Tian Linger was serious.

"Linger, you want to marry Gu Qing, does Gu Qing know?"

Su Ru asked seriously.

Hearing Su Ru ask this, Tian Buyi was very surprised and looked at Tian Linger, only to see Tian Linger's eyes were slightly red, tears about to flow, and she said tearfully: "I said it, Senior Brother Gu sighed, then taught me many secrets. He told me to put my mind on cultivation and wait until my horizons were broadened... but he is about to die."

Tian Buyi sighed silently, feeling that Gu Qing really had no problem in this regard.

It was just that Tian Linger's heart was obsessed.

"Dad!"

Tian Linger looked up, looked at Tian Buyi seriously, and said: "I want to remain a widow for Senior Brother Gu!"

"Bastard!"

Tian Buyi couldn't take it anymore and reached out to slap Tian Linger.

Tian Linger held her neck high, looking like she was arguing with reason.

"Sigh..."

Tian Buyi felt it was a sin!

This Gu Qing had no problem, and Tian Linger had no problem. Where exactly did the problem arise?

Love had a problem!

Tian Buyi rubbed his face hard and said: "Lu Xueqi and Bi Yao are not easy to deal with. If you are not afraid of losing face, just run over there. Anyway, that kid won't live long..."

Either three days, or five days...

Let the daughter have no regrets.

But to Tian Buyi's surprise, after more than ten days, Gu Qing still hadn't died. Tian Buyi, who couldn't rest assured, went to Tongtian Peak and saw that a house had been specially opened in the back mountain. Gu Qing, Lu Xueqi, and Bi Yao lived there. Gu Qing's face was pale and his body was weak, Lu Xueqi accompanied him carefully, while his daughter, Tian Linger, was busy serving tea and water.

"Uncle Tian."

Gu Qing's voice was a bit weak, saying: "There is a Universe Lock inside the Fulong Cauldron, which helped me lock the Qi of my whole body. Not long ago, Tianyin Temple sent a Universe Reincarnation Disk, which helped me stabilize the soul in my body. This is how I barely extended my life, but my blood and Qi are declining, and I have less than a month to live."

A month and a half passed.

Tian Buyi came to Tongtian Peak again and saw Gu Qing sitting in front of the stove, shivering, while Tian Linger was carefully decocting medicine.

"My blood and Qi had already declined to the extreme, but the Blood-Devouring Bead is my blood-refined treasure, and it actually started to feed back blood and Qi."

Gu Qing said with some surprise: "With this power, I can hold on for another month or two."

Tian Buyi nodded.

After half a year like this, Tian Buyi found that Tian Linger had started not to return home at night. He came to Tongtian Peak again and saw that there was already a room for Tian Linger in Gu Qing's house, and he was shocked.

"Senior Sister Lu returned to Xiaozhu Peak, and Sister Bi Yao went to the Illusory Moon Cave to see Dad."

Tian Linger answered carefully: "As for Senior Brother Gu... he... went down the mountain to buy things."

"He's better? How did he get better?"

Tian Buyi asked hurriedly.

Tian Linger combed her hair silently, lowering her head shyly... If she had offered herself earlier, Senior Brother Gu might have been better long ago... Can't think like that, Senior Brother Gu also just realized the dual cultivation healing method...

Outside Heyang City.

Gu Qing had just landed when many people surrounded him.

"Zhou Yin, the assassin of the Longevity Hall, Fan Xiong, Cheng Wuya, and Duan Rushan of the Wandu Sect."

Gu Qing called out the names of these people one by one, looked up at the sky, and really had the feeling of being besieged by the Source God and others in his later years like the Heavenly Emperor Ye.

"Hard work pays off, we finally waited for you."

Fan Xiong laughed loudly. He was the eldest disciple of the Wandu Sect and also the current Sect Leader of the Wandu Sect. Looking at Gu Qing's thin face, Fan Xiong felt that his achievements would be made today.

"Sigh..."

Gu Qing shook his clothes, and a black and white Taiji diagram appeared, covering Zhou Yin, Fan Xiong, and others like cloth.

At this moment, the power of Dao was indescribable, and the cultivators trembled.

Gu Qing, who had used the Infatuation Curse twice and taken the Three-Day Death Pill, had won the resurrection match!
