In the Cangxuan Holy Land, Cui Xuan'er had an extremely wide social circle, knowing people from both the inner and outer sects, and even the core disciples.

After all, she was the daughter of the previous Holy Lord. Even if her talent wasn't outstanding, no one dared to underestimate her.

The key point is that some core disciples, upon hearing that the Holy Maiden Jun Mengqing of the Jietian Sect was here, could not suppress the restlessness in their hearts.

They tried every means to get Cui Xuan'er to act as a matchmaker so that they could get to know Jun Mengqing.

Cui Xuan'er knew Jun Mengqing's aloof nature and naturally wouldn't agree. However, she didn't expect that the disciples of the nine core peaks of Cangxuan would take the lead and the inner sect would respond, planning to hold a martial arts competition.

At least that's what their invitation to Gu Shenge said: it was an inner sect competition, and also a forum for discussing cultivation techniques. They wanted to make friends with Gu Shenge through martial arts and exchange cultivation experiences.

Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing were staying at Cui Xuan'er's Cangxuan Mausoleum, which was adjacent to the forbidden area of ​​the Cangxuan Holy Land and was the core area of ​​the Cangxuan Holy Land.

When Cui Xuan'er saw the invitations sent by the sect cultivators, her face turned extremely gloomy.

"Damn it, what does that mean?"

"These bastards, they even use martial arts to make friends, I don't even want to expose them!"

"Young Master Gu, Meng Qing, you don't need to pay them any attention."

"If they dare to act recklessly, I'll teach them a lesson they won't forget!"

Cui Xuan'er was furious; she felt that the core disciples of the Nine Peaks had made her lose face.

Jun Mengqing sat cross-legged to one side, flipping through the cultivation notes of the Cangxuan Holy Land, and snorted coldly: "That's true. We've already explained it so clearly to them, but they still come to bother us. They really deserve a beating."

Cui Xuan'er's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "Meng Qing, don't worry, leave this to me, you can rest assured!"

A fierce glint flashed in her eyes; she probably already had a plan to deal with those guys.

"Wait a moment."

Gu Shenge interrupted her.

Cui Xuan'er asked in confusion, "Young Master Gu, what's wrong?"

"Since they are so insistent, wouldn't it be impolite of us to keep making excuses? Why don't we just meet them?"

Since Gu Shenge had said so, Cui Xuan'er had no reason to refuse.

"That works too. Those guys have been incredibly arrogant lately, so you can go and teach them a lesson!"

Cui Xuan'er was very clear about Gu Shenge's cultivation level. Gu Shenge didn't take the Dao Integration Realm seriously when he was already at the Void Refining Realm. Now that he had entered the Dao Integration Realm, there was no need to exaggerate. It was no exaggeration to say that he could treat those two Dao Integration Realm Nine Peak Cores like dogs.

The banquet was held on the third day. Although it was a banquet set up by someone who wanted to get to know Jun Mengqing, it was quite grand.

During the day, Gu Shenge also went to the Cangxuan Holy Land Martial Arts Arena to watch the competition of the Cangxuan inner disciples. The weakest Nascent Soul cultivator and the strongest Deity Transformation cultivator were all quite strong and had excellent talents, which were completely incomparable to the current Qiongsang Domain. This made Gu Shenge quite emotional.

In the short term, Qiankun Dao Sect still cannot compete with these established forces in terms of resources and foundation; Qiankun Dao Sect is still too weak.

The fact that all nine core peaks of Cangxuan sent Dao Integration Elders to oversee the event made Gu Shenge even more envious. To have Dao Integration Elders overseeing an inner sect competition is incredibly extravagant!
The Nine Peaks Core Group had already transcended the inner sect's boundaries; they were the organizers and referees of this inner sect competition. Seven cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Void Refinement Realm and two at the Dao Integration Realm, dressed in solemn and dignified dark red steward robes, maintained stability in the competition venue. During the competition, their gazes repeatedly fell upon Gu Shenge and Jun Mengqing, scrutinizing and probing them.

Gu Shenge ignored it, while Jun Mengqing deliberately moved closer to Gu Shenge, almost touching her.

Since Gu Shenge intended to communicate with those cultivators, Jun Mengqing planned to use their help to eliminate those sycophants.

Since their friendship had progressed to this point, there was no question of taking advantage of each other, so Gu Shenge did not refuse.

As night fell, the main event began. After a day of competition, the disciples would exchange ideas and discuss their teachings.

Outside the battlefield arena in the central area, disciples strolled among the pavilions and waterside terraces, some playing, some discussing philosophy, creating a rather relaxed atmosphere.

Directly opposite the arena, on a six-story tower, nine core disciples of the Nine Peaks, dressed in steward robes, sat upright, their faces somewhat gloomy.

The banquet had been going on for a long time, but Gu Shenge and Jun Mengqing had not yet arrived, which made them feel very humiliated!
Guided by Cui Xuan'er, Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing arrived in mid-air.

Seeing their dark faces, Cui Xuan'er instantly became furious: "Who are you all trying to sullen out like that?!"

The leader was a Dao Integration Realm cultivator with a handsome face, but a conspicuous scar on his left cheek, resembling a centipede.

Logically, a cultivator at this level should be fully capable of healing all wounds except for those related to Dao injuries, but he did not.

He narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Senior Sister Cui, it has been three hours since the competition ended. We have been waiting for so long, do you all have no sense of time?"

Cui Xuan'er slammed her hand on the table: "Stop being sarcastic! You sent out the invitations, so they can come whenever they want! Can't you guys communicate with each other? Can't you give lectures to the inner disciples? I don't know what your purpose is! Stop being so high-minded and making a fool of yourself!"

After being scolded by Cui Xuan'er, the group's faces turned red, but they couldn't find a reason to refute her.

Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing exchanged a smile. Cui Xuan'er was a really good girl. When they were on her turf, she always took the lead and protected them. It was really comforting.

Gu Shenge stepped forward, found an empty seat, and sat down, her gaze sweeping over the nine people one by one.

"Gentlemen, do you wish to engage in friendly sparring or to discuss the Dao?"

These words startled Cui Xuan'er and Jun Mengqing. Were they about to fight right away?
The core disciples of the Nine Peaks also paused, their eyes flashing with cold light. They did have the idea of ​​fighting Gu Shenge, but wasn't it a bit too arrogant for Gu Shenge to come up and ask questions?
They were stunned for a moment before they realized what was happening and became furious.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, even if you possess the talent to perceive things, isn't this behavior a bit too arrogant?" the scarred youth said coldly.

Gu Shenge scoffed, "No way. You dared to bare your teeth at me with a black face. Is my response arrogant?"

The core disciples of the Nine Peaks were completely enraged. The two cultivators next to Gu Shenge stood up abruptly and glared at Gu Shenge.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, you are so arrogant, do you dare to fight us at the same level?"

They were all at the Refining Void Realm, and had not yet entered the Dao Integration Realm.

Gu Shenge smiled and glanced at them, then looked at the others: "No need for that. You can all come at me together. I will fight you all with my Void Refinement Realm cultivation."

The expressions on everyone's faces instantly became incredibly complex, a mixture of humiliation and anger. Gu Shenge was clearly not treating them as opponents of equal caliber!
Especially those two cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm, their gazes were so deep they seemed to drip water. (End of Chapter)
