After a moment of silence, Gu Yuan woke Qiu Yue and asked:

"What is your relationship with Qiu Zhi?"

Qiu Yue's eyes showed sadness, with a hint of fear, as she cautiously glanced at Gu Yuan before lowering her head to reply, "To answer senior brother... no, to answer the young master, Qiu Zhi is my cousin."

"Don't worry, I will avenge her..."

Gu Yuan said seriously.

Qiu Yue looked at Gu Yuan's serious and composed expression and did not doubt his words at all.

"In the future, if you have any trouble, just come to me."

Gu Yuan continued.

Qiu Yue's delicate body trembled slightly, and she bowed to express her gratitude, "Qiu Yue thanks Young Master Gu."

She naturally understood the meaning of Gu Yuan's words.

Clearly, Gu Yuan was protecting her in consideration of Qiu Zhi.

With Gu Yuan's promise, she could gain many conveniences, and it was even possible for her to move from being a servant disciple to an outer disciple.

Qiu Yue naturally felt grateful to him in her heart.

After all, Qiu Zhi was merely killed by that Unseen Yin Demon, which wasn't much related to Gu Yuan.

For someone else, they might not even glance at her, but Gu Yuan intervened several times to protect her life, and now he agreed to help her with future troubles.

Gu Yuan's actions could already be described as benevolent and righteous.

"Just call me senior brother like before; it sounds comfortable to me."

Gu Yuan waved his hand.

"By the way, you've been startled; go down and rest first. I'll call you if anything happens."

"Yes, senior brother."

Qiu Yue bowed and retreated.

"What a troublesome time..."

After Qiu Yue left, Gu Yuan sighed softly.

Now, with the imminent opening of the Red Dragon Immortal Palace, it would undoubtedly cause a stir, attracting many forces to gather in Shengyang Prefecture.

Also, the Primordial Nether Sect was eyeing the territory of the Medicine King Mountain, Star River Sword Sect, and Gu God Sect in the Three States, ready to make a move...

Furthermore, this sudden incident made Gu Yuan feel troubled.

Because he knew very well that it would not be easy to investigate the matter just now.

The Unseen Yin Demon, after Gu Yuan detected a trace, decisively chose to sever ties and burn its origin to eliminate the hidden danger, not leaving Gu Yuan with any clues.

This shows that the person behind it is ruthless and decisive, certainly a difficult character to deal with.

And this assassination attempt is likely just the beginning.

More schemes will follow one after another.

He Ling True Master was responsible for leading many disciples of Medicine King Mountain to explore the Red Dragon Immortal Palace. Once it opens, they would surely set off.

Additionally, they must be wary of the Primordial Nether Sect.

Therefore, by then, they may not have time to care for Gu Yuan and may have little energy to investigate this matter.

Today's incident, and the troubles that follow, will ultimately have to be dealt with and resolved by Gu Yuan himself.

...

Days later, news of Gu Yuan's ambush and assassination had spread.

This led to many people looking at Gu Yuan with strange expressions.

There was surprise, shock, admiration, and even schadenfreude, among other reactions.

Gu Yuan himself remained calm without any unusual reaction, but secretly, he was constantly on guard, although he knew the mastermind behind the scenes wouldn't make a move shortly.

On this day, Gu Yuan was sitting cross-legged on the summit of a low mountain, inhaling the Water Spirit Qi of heaven and earth.

Suddenly, he sensed something and looked towards the distance.

At this time, Gu Yuan was on a floating dragon boat, which hovered in mid-air, providing an excellent view of the surrounding scenery.

In the distant Yunmeng Mountain Range, clouds and mist swirled.

In the depths of the mountain range, the great peaks loomed, one after another.

And in one of those locations, a huge beam of light shot straight into the sky!

This beam of light was crimson, radiant and resplendent, miles wide, imposing and boundless, like a pillar supporting heaven and earth!

Even from a distance, Gu Yuan could still feel a vast and scorching divine power pervading the world.

Gu Yuan, with his spirit blending into the world, deeply felt it.

At the moment this beam appeared, he felt the primordial qi of the world change, stopping and no longer under his control, instead being controlled by some profound and mysterious power.

Even Gu Yuan's mind felt heavy, as if a terrible pressure enveloped hundreds of miles around.

In the beam of light, a palace, brilliant and colorful, floated, emitting countless rays of light.

The last time he saw this scene, Gu Yuan only felt the spiritual light was too intense and dazzling, irritating his eyes to the point of dryness and tears.

And now, Gu Yuan had gained the ability to gaze directly upon it.

Roar—!!!

Accompanied by a high-pitched, magnificent dragon roar.

At this moment, all of Shengyang Prefecture, even Qinzhou, and areas beyond, countless mortals and cultivators looked up to the sky, witnessing this stunning scene!

And above the palace, boundless seas of clouds gathered, with thunderstorms rolling, countless bolts of lightning flashing.

The giant beam quickly dissolved, the light converged, transforming into nine entirely crimson True Dragons, full of majesty and holiness, who soared and roamed among the clouds!

Each True Dragon, its scales, horns, claws, and whiskers were incredibly realistic, as if forged from Divine Gold, emitting dazzling divine light and a formidable aura!

Finally, the nine True Dragons gathered together, transforming into a grand array around the palace, with countless Restriction Spiritual Lights emerging from it.

Gu Yuan sighed softly, his expression one of amazement, envy, and fear.

The Red Dragon Immortal Palace had finally been revealed!

Gu Yuan had some understanding of the Red Dragon Immortal Palace.

This palace was a cave mansion of Red Dragon Daoist, a Dragon Gate Realm Yang Spirit master, containing countless Spirit Elixirs, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and various opportunities.

Of course, this is the understanding of many in the Cultivation Realm.

However, to be precise, the current Immortal Palace was just one of Red Dragon Daoist's five palaces, and this was a side palace, not the main hall.

And the reason the Red Dragon Immortal Palace was opening was also set by its master, Red Dragon Daoist.

Among this... perhaps some calculations or schemes of Red Dragon Daoist are hidden.

But for ordinary cultivators, it is a rare chance.

As long as they are respectful, speak well, and follow the rules, they won't face difficulties, and may even gain some benefits.

Of course, these messages were revealed by Peach Blossom Fairy Qin Hongxiao.

Now, Gu Yuan personally witnessed the scene of the Immortal Palace's opening, and at this moment, he felt somewhat bewildered.

Just one of the five palaces, and its emergence is already such a grand spectacle. The master of this Red Dragon Immortal Palace, Red Dragon Daoist, is he really just a Dragon Gate Realm Yang Spirit master?
