Beast Deity Mountain was where the Royal Beast Sect was located.
The legend of the Profound Sky Continent had the existence of a beast deity, but many descriptions of the beast deity were not very reliable, making people feel that there had never been a so-called beast deity at all.
After all, legends were just legends, people were more willing to believe in the existence of beast kings than beast deities.
It was said that there were a total of seven beast kings in the Profound Sky Continent, and each beast king was extremely powerful, they could compete with several Sky Piercing Realm powerhouses.
The seven beast kings had almost never appeared in public, so few people knew what the seven beast kings looked like or where they were.
However, according to rumors, there was a beast king on the Beast Deity Mountain where the Royal Beast Sect was located, and it was a beast king controlled by the Royal Beast Sect.
Whether there was such a thing, even the deacon of Royal Beast Sect did not know, let alone ordinary disciples.
There might be a very small number of elders who knew the situation, but every time someone asked about it, those elders would deny it, saying that this was a falsehood spread by the world.
A corner of the Royal Beast Sect.
Gongsun Zhi was under house arrest.
In name, she was married to the Royal Beast Sect, but she could feel that it was not the same thing. The Royal Beast Sect's people should want to use her to do something.
When she left the Everlasting Sword Sect before, she didn't think so much at all, but now she regretted it very much.
Since she had practiced the Myriad Wood Spirit Art, it was reasonable to say that she couldn't die, but who could say this kind of thing accurately?
If she was willing to cooperate with the people of the Royal Beast Sect, she would be temporarily safe.
If she was unwilling to cooperate, she was afraid that the Royal Beast Sect had methods that could make her life worse than death.
More importantly, the Royal Beast Sect and the Everlasting Sword Sect had never dealt with each other.
No one knew what the Royal Beast Sect people wanted to do with her. If they did things that threatened the life and death of the Everlasting Sword Sect, she would be heavily blamed for sure.
Let alone what fate was waiting for her, the one she felt sorriest for was Mo Xiu.
Clearly, Mo Xiu let her stay in the Everlasting Sword Sect and guard the scripture pavilion with her juniors.
However, because of a word from the Gongsun Family, she ignored Mo Xiu's instructions and left with the people of the Gongsun Family in a hurry, and returned to the Gongsun Family of Asking Star City.
Since her mother was critically ill, she had to go home and see her. After all, no matter how boring the family was, blood was ultimately thicker than water, and some emotions couldn't be thrown away.
But she didn't expect that all this was a trap, to deceive her back to Gongsun Manor.
Defrauding her back was fine, but they actually let her marry to someone from the Royal Beast Sect. This was no different from selling her.
The moment she learned the truth, her little heart shattered instantly, and the little affection left in her heart for the Gongsun Family also vanished like smoke.
At that time, there was only raging anger in her heart, and she secretly vowed to break away from the Gongsun Family. But now, she had calmed down.
She wouldn't care about the Gongsun Family anymore. There was no need to deliberately say that she wanted to break away from them, and she wouldn't think about revenge either.
From now on, she would directly completely ignore the Gongsun Family.
How Gongsun Li and the whole Gongsun Family planned, she could somewhat foresee some, but she felt that the Gongsun Family was about to perish.
She knew that Mo Xiu was not that easy to talk to, nor was he afraid of threats. If he knew the disgusting deeds done by the Gongsun Family, he would definitely raze the Gongsun Family.
If Gongsun Family was destroyed by Mo Xiu, she would not be very happy, nor would she hate Mo Xiu, nor would she turn against Mo Xiu.
She felt that even if she learned the exact news from Mo Xiu, she would not react excessively and would only respond indifferently.
Now, she was more concerned about her situation.
Royal Beast Sect was a dragon lair. Even if Mo Xiu knew that she was here, he might not come to rescue her at all.
Besides, she was a disobedient apprentice. Did Mo Xiu need to spend so much effort to rescue a disciple like her?
"Master, your disciple is wrong..."
She squatted in a corner with her head in her arms, her body trembling slightly, and there was a faint weeping sound.
...
Near the Beast Deity Mountain.
Mo Xiu seemed to feel something and glanced in the direction where the Beast Deity Mountain was.
Now that the souls of the main members of the Gongsun Family had been collected by him into the Shadow Soul Orb, he had also learned the true ins and outs of this incident through checking their souls.
The people of the Gongsun Family spoke so high-sounding, but in fact, it was not the same thing at all. It was much crueler than the description the Gongsun Family said.
The Royal Beast Sect people indeed took the initiative to come to the Gongsun Family, but those people never mentioned that they wanted to marry Gongsun Zhi.
They only learned that Gongsun Zhi was a genius and asked about Gongsun Zhi's whereabouts.
After knowing that Gongsun Zhi had been sent to the Everlasting Sword Sect and had worshipped the elder of the Everlasting Sword Sect as her teacher, the people of the Royal Beast Sect did not continue to entangle.
However, Gongsun Li was thinking about getting on the big ship of the Royal Beast Sect, and he was disappointed with the Everlasting Sword Sect, so he offered to marry Gongsun Zhi to the Royal Beast Sect's person.
What came after that was deceiving Gongsun Zhi back to Gongsun Manor.
Actually, Gongsun Zhi was sold to the Royal Beast Sect in exchange for power and protection.
With this as a condition, the Gongsun Family became an ally of the Royal Beast Sect and was protected by the Royal Beast Sect from then on.
As Gongsun Zhi's father, Gongsun Li had the right to decide on Gongsun Zhi's marriage.
Moreover, even if Gongsun Zhi was married to a member of the Royal Beast Sect, Gongsun Zhi was still a disciple of the Everlasting Sword Sect.
As for what Gongsun Zhi would encounter after going to the Royal Beast Sect, Gongsun Li didn't care at all. In his opinion, Gongsun Zhi was already a disobedient daughter.
He must care about her if she was obedient. After all, this daughter was a genius, and she was likely to help the Gongsun Family regain its glory in the future. But since she revealed such disobedient behavior, then the future of the Gongsun Family might not that bright.
Rather than waiting for the unknown future, it was better to sell Gongsun Zhi now in exchange for the protection of the Royal Beast Sect, so that the Gongsun Family had the basis for rapid development, and maybe there was a chance to rise again.
The people of the Royal Beast Sect knew the thoughts of the people of the Gongsun Family, so they somewhat despised this Gongsun Family, but Gongsun Zhi was of great use to them, and protecting such a small family was not very useful to them.
After learning the truth, Mo Xiu despised the Gongsun Family even more, and felt that destroying the Gongsun Family was the right decision.
This kind of scum, if it was not extinguished, wouldn't they hinder Gongsun Zhi's future?
Gongsun Zhi felt that he would not come to the Royal Beast Sect to save her. In fact, she thought too much.
Mo Xiu didn't think Gongsun Zhi had done anything wrong in this matter. Gongsun Zhi was also his eldest disciple, so of course, he had to save her.
However, he originally planned to destroy the Beast Deity Mountain and kill the entire Royal Beast Sect, but based on the current situation, the Royal Beast Sect seemed to have done nothing wrong.
Since it didn't do anything wrong, it was not worth his murder. After all, the people of the Royal Beast Sect were nothing to him.
If the ants got in the way, he had to step on them to death, but if the ants didn't get in the way, trampling a few ants to death for no reason would not make people feel happy from the heart.
Therefore, he temporarily changed the goal of this action from destroying the Royal Beast Sect to rescuing Gongsun Zhi.
As long as she was rescued, it was not necessary to destroy the Royal Beast Sect unless the people of the Royal Beast Sect took the initiative to seek death.
On the Beast Deity Mountain where the Royal Beast Sect was located, a large protection array was naturally arranged.
From Mo Xiu's perspective, the level of this array was not low, at least in the Profound Sky Continent, it could be called a top-level array.
However, although the protection array had not been activated, there were many deacons and disciples patrolling nearby.
In addition, there were powerful spirit beasts and monster beasts all over the mountain.
Whether spirit beasts or monster beasts, their instincts were very keen, and ordinary concealment methods couldn't escape their perception.
However, what Mo Xiu used was not a general concealment method, but the Supreme Virtual Art.
As long as he didn't take the initiative to expose himself, the spirit beasts and monster beasts with sharp intuition would not even feel his steps.
Mo Xiu did not act immediately, but extended his Divine Consciousness and searched in the Royal Beast Sect. In just a moment, he found Gongsun Zhi's location.
With this, he hid his figure, sneaked into the Royal Beast Sect quietly, and soon came outside the room where Gongsun Zhi was imprisoned.
There were many seals around the room, but it was not a problem for Mo Xiu.
With a wave of his hand, all seals were destroyed, and then he opened the door and walked in.
Gongsun Zhi was sobbing softly. Hearing the sound of opening the door, she quickly raised her head and saw Mo Xiu's figure appear.
"Master... Master!"
Gongsun Zhi was stunned for a moment and was about to rush into Mo Xiu's arms.
It was just that she realized something very quickly, so her footsteps paused, and knelt down and said guiltily, "Master, this disciple is guilty!"
"Get up."
Mo Xiu said lightly, an invisible force fell on Gongsun Zhi and directly pulled Gongsun Zhi up.
Seeing that the tears on Gongsun Zhi's face were dry, he asked again, "Did the people of the Royal Beast Sect treat you well?"
"It's okay, it's just that a bowl of blood is taken from me every day," Gongsun Zhi replied.
Mo Xiu frowned slightly when he heard this.
