The gathering of a large number of cultivators, coupled with the transportation of massive amounts of resources, created the magnificent scene of Gusu. Its economy soared, making it one of the most dazzling pearls on the map of China and Asia.
But that's precisely why this incident is so significant.
The large number of cultivators gathered there were all trapped in the sub-plane, where they were clearly being besieged by a massive number of evil creatures, while the main world was unable to provide any support to the cultivators...
Even the cultivators on the other side of the Heavenly Rift couldn't retreat...
Whether it's to rescue the tens of thousands of cultivators on the other side, to rescue Su Zhu... or to wipe out the rare gathering of high-level evil creatures on the other side, Su Han has no reason to miss this feast.
Su Han gently drew a circle in the air in front of him with his palm, and sparks gradually fell from the circle before he stepped into it.
...
The Sacred Land of Daoist Practice.
This is a continuous, antique-style architectural complex in the Jiangnan region. Pavilions, terraces, and flowing water exude a garden-like atmosphere.
However, at this moment, this continuous stretch of ancient buildings trembled, with brilliant light swirling and rising around them, and the ancient array was reviving.
"Investigate thoroughly. My Gusu Array Diagram is intact, so why did the Heavenly Rift go berserk?" Murong Xuncheng's voice was low and his face was expressionless.
He did not unleash his divine power, but simply sitting there quietly naturally exerted immense pressure on the many cultivators present.
After a brief pause, Murong Xuncheng continued, "Elders and Holy Sons of the Holy Land, please stay."
The numerous holy site deacons suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. As if fleeing a disaster, they rushed out of the room in a hurried but orderly fashion, transforming into rainbows and departing.
The elders and senior members of the remaining Yandao Holy Land all lowered their heads, not daring to say a word.
At the very front, an old man with white hair and beard that almost reached the ground stared intently at Xie Huaiming, the seemingly young Holy Son of the Yandao Holy Land.
Xie Huaiming lowered his eyes, his face blank, as if he had no idea what had happened.
The old man, whose beard almost touched the ground, glared at the Holy Son Xie Huaiming. The old man was Xu Weiguo, one of the Supreme Elders of the Yandao Holy Land, a great master at the peak of the Five Elements Realm. Xie Huaiming, the Holy Son of the Holy Land, was practically raised by him.
The Supreme Elder Xu Weiguo was subtly gesturing to Xie Huaiming, urging him to quickly quell Murong Xuncheng's anger. However, Xie Huaiming remained as bewildered as ever, seemingly wondering what Xu Weiguo was trying to say.
"Wei Kingdom, any new news?" Murong Xuncheng let out a long breath, his expression showing some fatigue. "Among this group of people who are training and developing the sub-plane, there are two Holy Lords... and nearly ten thousand cultivators."
"Tell me, what method can be used to bring back these core elites and top cultivators of Huaya in the shortest possible time?"
Xu Weiguo's lips twitched. He had guessed that Murong Xuncheng was furious and would definitely take it out on someone. He had wanted Xie Huaiming to go forward so that he could be the punching bag.
Who would have thought that this little brat, worthy of being his own son, was incredibly shrewd. He just stood there looking completely bewildered. He wasn't stupid at all; he was far too clever.
“There’s no way to avoid it.” Xu Weiguo sighed solemnly, seeing that there was no way to avoid it. “Since the completion of the array diagrams of the major cities thirty years ago, although there have been instances of celestial rifts leaking over the years… it has been less than ten times…”
"And a large-scale rampage like today's is the first case in the entire Huaya region since the establishment of a complete array system... We have absolutely no experience in dealing with this kind of situation."
"You mean the array is outdated and can't suppress the celestial rift anymore, and we can't solve the problem anytime soon?"
Murong Xuncheng stared intently at Xu Weiguo, his voice hoarse. He didn't exhale, but his aura made Xu Weiguo feel suffocated. "You should understand the significance of this matter?"
"I know." Xu Weiguo nodded gravely. He knew that every minute of delay could mean the death of cultivators in the occupied area, but he was truly powerless to do anything about it.
Murong Xuncheng fell silent. At this moment, he was thinking about the updated array diagram in Jinling.
Is it a coincidence, or did the person at Huaya headquarters and the newly promoted God King of Jinling sense something was wrong and make arrangements in advance?
"What a coincidence." Murong Xuncheng sighed silently, his heart filled with bitterness. He still didn't know how to resolve today's matter... but after resolving it, he would probably need to make a trip to Jinling.
He had to do everything in his power to secure the second array transformation after Jinling, which would be in Gusu... However, despite having this idea in his mind, Murong Xuncheng had no confidence at all.
Su Zhu is still trapped in the rift in the sky. If he isn't rescued... will he go to Jinling?
He seriously doubted whether he could even walk out standing up...
"Who goes there?" Xie Huaiming sensed something, and his body suddenly erupted with dazzling divine power. Four different colored lights rose up, representing the power of the Five Elements. The four colors signified that he had achieved a very high level of mastery in the Five Elements realm and was about to reach the peak of that realm.
"Hmm? Looks like I've come at the wrong time," Su Han said calmly.
Murong Xuncheng froze. He recognized the voice, and after a brief silence, turned around to stare at Su Han, who had emerged from mid-air.
Although he appeared calm, the emotions in his eyes were so complex that they defied description—a mixture of shock, astonishment, joy, and panic.
"Why are you here? By the way... you really should have come," after a brief silence, Murong Xuncheng brought up the important matter, "I'm sorry, the responsibility for the problems that happened to Miss Su Zhu lies entirely with me."
In fact, Murong Xuncheng knew in his heart that Li Hongxue bore the greatest responsibility for Su Zhu's accident.
However, in the current situation, it is meaningless to assign blame... After all, Li Hongxue is one of the two Holy Lords who fell into the sub-plane.
Xie Huaiming froze. He glanced at the excessively young man before him, realizing something. He was shaken, and silently concealed all the radiance emanating from his body. As for the elders and venerables of the sacred land surrounding them, they dared not utter a word.

Chapter 253 Just because he is the God King Su, that's enough (Fourth update)
After all, the elders present were all well-informed and experienced, and they had guessed what was going on.
But they also knew that if the person in front of them really was from Jinling, then the problem would be truly serious... after all, his sister was still trapped in the Heavenly Rift...
In a fit of rage, he demolished the entire Yandao Holy Land... As long as no one was injured, no one would blame him afterward; in fact, they would have to go to great lengths to appease him.
"I didn't mean to blame you," Su Han said calmly. "I just want to ask, do you know the coordinates of that sub-plane?"
