The backyard of Tianbao Pavilion.

A peaceful and serene atmosphere prevails here; this is a courtyard specially prepared for distinguished guests.

Fang Li and Murong Qingxue were sitting at a stone table in the courtyard, leisurely reminiscing about the past.

However, just as they were having a pleasant conversation...

Suddenly, the space inside the courtyard seemed to be stirred by some force, and ripples appeared.

As the ripples grew stronger, it felt as if the entire space was about to be torn apart.

Fang Li and Murong Qingxue watched this scene in astonishment. Under their gaze, the next second, Gu Xuan's figure appeared out of thin air like a ghost.

His appearance came without any warning, as if he had traveled from another world.

Fang Li and Murong Qingxue were startled by Gu Xuan's sudden appearance and quickly got up.

Fang Li exclaimed in delight, "Master!"

Murong Qingxue also respectfully greeted, "Senior!"

Gu Xuan waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to be so reserved, and then found a place to sit down.

Upon seeing this, Fang Li quickly stepped forward and poured Gu Xuan a cup of fragrant tea.

Gu Xuan smiled and looked at Murong Qingxue. With a wave of his hand, he placed the Qiankun Rings of Murong Fu and the others on the table and said, "The worries have been resolved. These are their Qiankun Rings."

Murong Qingxue looked at the Qiankun Ring on the table, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

She hadn't expected that Gu Xuan would deal with Murong Fu and the others so easily, and even bring back their Qiankun Rings.

Then, Gu Xuan took out a green bottle from his pocket, placed it on the table, and said, "In addition, this is Heavenly Marrow Liquid, which can repair the Primordial Treasure you purchased."

Murong Qingxue's gaze fell on the green bottle, and she felt a surge of excitement.

Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Marrow Liquid inside can actually repair the Primordial Treasure!

After putting the things down.

Gu Xuan then repeated Murong Fu's words verbatim.

After listening, Murong Qingxue remained silent for a moment.

Her gaze darted back and forth between the Qiankun Ring and the green bottle.

It was truly unexpected that Murong Fu had such a plan in mind when he wanted to bid for the Taiyin Divine Robe.

No wonder he was so willing to go to any lengths to obtain this treasure.

After a moment of silence.

Murong Qingxue slowly raised her head, looked at Gu Xuan, then clasped her hands together and bowed deeply to him: "Thank you for your help earlier, senior, for getting me out of that predicament."

"However, your killing of Murong Fu will likely provoke a strong retaliation from the Murong clan."

Murong Qingxue's voice revealed a hint of worry.

After all, the Murong clan was a first-rate family with some influence within the Yaoguang Dynasty.

They certainly won't let the person who killed Murong Fu off easily.

Moreover, among them was Murong Haotian, a prodigy with exceptional talent, not much inferior to himself.

Upon hearing Murong Qingxue's words, Gu Xuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

He seemed unconcerned about the Murong clan's revenge, casually remarking, "It's nothing. As far as I know, your Murong clan's ancestor was merely a powerhouse who had transcended the peak of the second realm."

Speaking of which...

Gu Xuan paused for a moment, then continued, "Such strength does not pose a significant threat to me."

"So you don't need to worry too much, I will naturally have a way to deal with it."

Murong Qingxue was startled by Gu Xuan's words.

She hadn't expected Gu Xuan to be so confident, showing no fear even when facing a powerful figure in the Transcendent Realm.

It should be known that the realm of transcendence is a state that many cultivators dream of.

Gu Xuan's disdain only fueled her curiosity and awe regarding his strength.

Gu Xuan did not pay attention to Murong Qingxue's reaction.

He had every reason to say that.

After all, he possessed the Pangu Chaos Body, which was an extremely powerful physique.

Given his current level of development of the Pangu Chaos Body, he would be able to put up a fight even against a Heavenly Realm expert.

In fact, the power of Pangu's primordial chaos is indeed beyond doubt.

It contains boundless power, capable of breaking through all laws of the world.

This is why the Hun Tian Clan was able to become the number one among the three thousand innate clans.

........

The next day.

Sunlight shone on the towering mountain peak outside Blackrock City, as if draping it in a golden veil.

Suddenly, three divine rainbows streaked across the sky like shooting stars, hurtling towards them—

In no time at all, the divine rainbow reached the summit of the mountain.

Then it fell from the sky.

With a flash of light, it transformed into two men and one woman.

These three people were Gu Xuan, Fang Li, and Murong Qingxue, who had left Blackstone City the day before.

As soon as they landed, Gu Xuan waved his hand.

An invisible beam of light spread out like ripples, instantly enveloping the entire summit of the mountain.

This is a top-tier defensive formation.

Its power is so great that it can withstand a full-force attack from a Heavenly Realm expert.

In an instant, the entire mountaintop seemed to be completely isolated from the outside world.

From the outside, the place appears deserted, as if no one had ever set foot on this mountain.

After doing all this.

Gu Xuan then turned his head to look at Murong Qingxue beside him, "Are you ready?"

Murong Qingxue nodded slightly, "Senior, I'm ready."

Before she could finish speaking, she flipped her little hand over.

A Taiyin Divine Robe, exuding an ancient aura and brimming with the power of rules, appeared in her palm.

Although the Taiyin Divine Robe was somewhat dim, it still exuded a powerful aura. It was the damaged Primordial Treasure that she had purchased at a great cost from the Tianbao Pavilion.
