78: The Holy Lord was threatened? The Great Emperor of Heavenly Light

"Husband, let's go."

Ying Lanfeng came to Gu Jixiao's side.

Gu Jixiao stood up and pulled Ying Lanfeng into his arms, with Shen Qingyu on the other side.

This scene caused all the Elders present to freeze on the spot.

The Grand Elder was the first to find it unbearable, shouting angrily, "Damn it, how dare he have another woman when he already has our Holy Lord!"

"Holy Lord, this person is not worth you going to such lengths. Come back!"

"That's right, Holy Lord, come back!"

Hearing the Elders' words, Ying Lanfeng's expression became anxious. Looking at Gu Jixiao again, his face had already turned somewhat gloomy.

So she gritted her teeth and spoke.

"There is no need for you to say more about this Holy Lord's choice. Just do your duty."

"Husband, let's go!"

After saying that, Ying Lanfeng hurriedly pulled Gu Jixiao away.

The Elders present all showed expressions of confusion; after all, in their eyes, their Holy Lord was such a favored daughter of heaven that she was more than a match for anyone.

This kid was something else; having their Holy Lord and still having another woman was simply rubbing the face of their Tianguang Holy Land into the dirt.

However, an Elder soon reacted, his expression changing as he looked at the Grand Elder and said in a worried tone.

"Grand Elder, do you think the Holy Lord might have been threatened by him?"

"Otherwise, why would the Holy Lord abdicate for no reason?"

An Elder who had a Dao Companion also realized and said.

"Yes, I saw that the Holy Lord's gaze toward that kid didn't have any love at all, only fear!"

Hearing the Elders' words, the Grand Elder and the Second Elder also came to their senses, their expressions turning ugly.

But they thought deeper than those Elders.

What kind of power was their Tianguang Holy Land? It was a power with a Peak Great Emperor presiding over it!

Where in the Heavenly Saint Continent was there a power that could threaten their Tianguang Holy Land?

If someone could threaten the Holy Lord, it would likely be a power even stronger than their Tianguang Holy Land.

"Could it be the Thunder Holy Land? Or the Violet Flame Holy Land?"

The Second Elder's expression was grave as he communicated with the Grand Elder via voice transmission.

Although their Tianguang Holy Land was one of the three major powers of the Heavenly Saint Continent, it was quite a bit weaker compared to the Thunder Holy Land and the Violet Flame Holy Land.

Therefore, if that kid was from one of those two Great Holy Lands, everything would make sense.

"Damn it."

The Grand Elder's expression was grim.

If those two Great Holy Lands really threatened the Holy Lord, there was nothing they could do. They could only hope their Old Ancestor would be firm and protect the Holy Lord.

Even if the Holy Lord wanted to abdicate, she had to petition the Old Ancestor. Only after receiving the permission of the Tianguang Great Emperor could she step down.

Otherwise, it would be treated as betraying the Holy Land.

There would be only one outcome: being hunted by the Holy Land until death.

Outside the Holy Hall.

Ying Lanfeng said to Gu Jixiao in a weak tone, "Husband, um, if I want to abdicate, I still have to go and inform the Old Ancestor."

"So, could you give me some time to go and tell the Old Ancestor alone?"

Ying Lanfeng was truly afraid that Gu Jixiao would follow her, as she knew the Old Ancestor's temperament.

If he knew that Gu Jixiao had threatened her, he would definitely not be able to resist taking action.

And if that happened, all the effort she had put in would be in vain.

Although she had spent little time with Gu Jixiao, she could see that he responded to gentleness rather than force.

Therefore, as long as she acted a bit more vulnerable, Gu Jixiao would likely agree.

What she didn't expect was that Gu Jixiao's target from the very beginning was her Tianguang Holy Land.

As for Ying Lanfeng, Gu Jixiao only took an interest in her person.

"Eh, how can that be? After all, the Old Ancestors have taken care of you. As your husband, I naturally must go and thank them properly."

After speaking, Gu Jixiao ignored Shen Qingyu and rushed toward the most powerful presence he sensed within the Tianguang Holy Land.

Seeing this, Ying Lanfeng looked anxious and hurriedly chased after him.

"Wait for me!"

Above the Tianguang Holy Land, there sat a tiny island—well, tiny only compared to the other islands of the Tianguang Holy Land.

In reality, it was still extremely massive.

Soon, Gu Jixiao arrived before that island.

Ying Lanfeng also caught up at this time and hurriedly spoke.

"Husband, wait a moment. This island is the Old Ancestor's place of secluded cultivation. If you enter without prior notice, you will be attacked by the Restrictions on the island."

Ying Lanfeng feared that Gu Jixiao would be attacked by the Restrictions and then use that as an excuse to wage war against her Tianguang Holy Land.

But before Gu Jixiao could speak, a voice came from within the island.

"I wonder which Fellow Daoist has come from afar. Please come in for a chat."

As the voice fell, the Restrictions within the island opened.

Seeing this, Gu Jixiao stepped forward, with Gu Fang and Shen Qingyu following by his side.

Ying Lanfeng also hurriedly followed.

The moment they entered the island, a thick wave of Spiritual Qi rushed toward them.

Gu Jixiao had originally thought the concentration of Spiritual Qi within the Tianguang Holy Land was high, but he didn't expect it to double here.

Cultivating on this island was equivalent to cultivating while piled inside a heap of Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Many Heaven And Earth Treasures were also planted on the island; of those Gu Jixiao saw, none were of a grade lower than the Mystic Grade.

Of course, these things did not attract Gu Jixiao.

What truly attracted Gu Jixiao were the nine massive golden coffins situated at the center of the island.

Strange symbols were also carved on the ground; with just one glance, Gu Jixiao could tell they were Runes.

Those nine coffins impressively formed a Twelve-Grade Spiritual Array.

"Interesting, is this actually a Life Locking Grand Array?"

Gu Jixiao saw that the operating principle of this grand array was to shroud the secrets of heaven to achieve the effect of extending life.

It could at most double the lifespan of a Great Emperor.

Hearing Gu Jixiao's words, the voice of a kindly old man came from within the largest golden coffin located in the Life Locking Grand Array.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to see through it, little friend."

To the side, Ying Lanfeng hurriedly cupped her hands toward the golden coffin.

"Junior Ying Lanfeng greets the Old Ancestor."

"Alright, you step aside first. Other Fellow Daoist, I wonder who you are? There doesn't seem to be a figure like you in the Heavenly Saint Continent."

The one inside the golden coffin was indeed the current Tianguang Great Emperor.

After speaking to Gu Fang, he spoke pointedly.

"Also, isn't the other Fellow Daoist tired of hiding?"

As the Tianguang Great Emperor's voice fell, a figure slowly emerged from the Void Realm.

"To actually be able to discover my presence, you are indeed powerful."

Discovered by the Tianguang Great Emperor, Gu Yuan showed surprise, but then thinking that the other party was also a Peak Great Emperor, he felt relieved.

Looking at Ying Lanfeng again, her heart was currently filled with shock.

Sure enough, she had guessed correctly.
