Nobody could figure out how Gu Qing had found the whereabouts of the Immortal Taiping, nor could they know why Gu Qing had suddenly attacked him. Even Ping Yongjia, who operated the Sword Formation of Slaying Fairies, didn't have a clue.
To say nothing of the formidable Immortal Taiping himself, he had the Dark Phoenix and the Great Grandmaster of the Mysterious Dark Sect, the two powerful demons, to help him.
It was still a risky endeavor and almost impossible to win even though Gu Qing had the Great Formation of the royal palace and the Sword Formation of Slaying Fairies in his control and the secret aid of the Young Zen Master.
If Jing Jiu hadn't woken up in time and demonstrated his prowess as a fairy man in the Heavenly Arrival State, Gu Qing would have died in the old plum garden.
What he did was not fitting for someone who had always been prudent.
Hearing what the Royal Dowager Hu said, Gu Qing merely let loose a forced grin, saying nothing.
