109: The calculation behind Fulongting

However, the tenderness in Oriental Heng’s eyes gradually faded.

“You are a beautiful person, but why are you a thief?”

Qian Lin’s heart tightened upon hearing this.

“No…”

Before she could finish speaking, a cold glint flashed across the world, and Qian Lin and her father died.

After doing all this, Oriental Heng let out a light breath:

“Everyone knows Immortals are good, but only a beloved wife cannot be forgotten.

You speak of kindness every day while you live, but after you die, you follow another.”

After reciting the poem, Oriental Heng trembled, and something inexplicable seemed to be added to him.

Name: Oriental Heng

Love Value: 0

Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Second Level

Affiliation: Forget-Love Peak Personal Disciple

Spiritual Root: Wind-Lightning

Comprehension Ability: Once in Nine Hundred Years

Dao Heart: Literary Heart Sword Courage (Activated)

Sword Intent: Heartless Sword Intent Minor Achievement

Cultivation Technique: Forget Love Sutra (Incomplete)

…

Looking at Oriental Heng’s System panel, Gu Liangyuan understood that Oriental Heng had cut off his emotions in one go and comprehended Heartless Sword Intent.

After destroying the bodies and traces, Oriental Heng bowed deeply to Gu Liangyuan:

“Many thanks, Revered Master, for helping me cut off my emotions.”

Gu Liangyuan looked at this Disciple, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

He seemed more reliable than Jun Ao Zhi and Mo Chen.

So, as per custom, Gu Liangyuan bestowed the Heavenly Rank Magical Artifacts, which were standard for Personal Disciples, and a series of Magic Treasures, including the Supreme Forgetfulness Scripture.

With a few System prompts dinging, Gu Liangyuan received a return of a Heavenly Second-Grade Yi Wood Sword.

Considering Oriental Heng’s Literary Heart Sword Courage attribute, he pointed a finger, and a stream of light directly entered Oriental Heng’s Sea of Consciousness:

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for bestowing the «Complete Collection of Poetry and Song», triggering a five-thousand-fold return. Return reward: Poems that Make Ghosts Weep.”

Name: Poems that Make Ghosts Weep

Rank: Great Divine Power

Effect: Area-of-effect skill, kills people with poetic imagery

Gu Liangyuan secretly nodded, “Not bad, not bad.”

His Divine Ability in area-of-effect attacks was indeed a bit weak, and this just made up for it.

With this matter concluded, Gu Liangyuan brought Oriental Heng back to Forget-Love Peak.

After letting Oriental Heng and Qianqiu meet each other, and estimating that the Ten Thousand Sects Assembly was still a few days away, he plunged back into the Enlightenment Tower.

Naturally, Gu Liangyuan had no intention of letting Ditian go.

In fact, with a Pseudo-Immortal Strike in hand, Gu Liangyuan could eliminate him at any time.

The reason he didn’t act immediately was that Gu Liangyuan also vaguely guessed that there was someone behind Ditian!

It was still that saying: to cut the grass, one must remove the roots!

Currently, his own foundation was not enough. Killing Ditian was easy, but without Ditian, there would still be Sun Tian and Li Tian. As long as the force behind Ditian was not rooted out, he would not be able to kill them all.

Also, there was the Tianyi Old Man who was a guest at Supreme Sacred Ground. Gu Liangyuan planned to let him stew for a while.

Tianyi Old Man had calculations against him, and he also had demands of Tianyi Old Man.

Whoever lost their patience first would be at a disadvantage.

The reason he went into the Enlightenment Tower was that it was time to properly inventory the storage rings he had acquired these days.

While Gu Liangyuan was leisurely inventorying his gains in the Enlightenment Tower, the outside world had exploded!

“Jiang Yingyu, have you heard? Junior Martial Uncle Martial Uncle Gu Liang has done another big thing recently.”

“What big thing?”

“A few days ago, Forget-Love Peak’s Personal Disciple clashed with Taiyi Holy Land’s Personal Disciple over a woman. Not only did Junior Martial Uncle kill him, but to prevent his Disciple from making enemies in the future, he even annihilated his Family and his Legacy.”

“Finally, Ditian came out, but Junior Martial Uncle didn’t flinch at all. He killed an Elder right in front of Ditian, almost sparking a Holy Land war!”

“Ah, is he that protective of his Disciples?”

“You think the title of ‘Disciple-Protecting Maniac’ is for nothing?”

“Can’t afford to provoke, can’t afford to provoke. Forget-Love Peak’s Disciples are truly unprovokable.”

Jiang Yingyu turned to leave and then said to Tan Zhengzhi:

“Junior Brother Tan, have you heard?”

“Heard what?”

“Junior Martial Uncle killed Taiyi’s Elder in front of Ditian for a Disciple, almost causing a Holy Land war.”

“Hiss! Junior Martial Uncle is truly fierce.”

Tan Zhengzhi then passed it down:

“Junior Martial Uncle killed Ditian’s Elder for a Disciple, almost causing a Holy Land war.”

“Pass it down: Junior Martial Uncle killed Ditian’s old bird for a Disciple, almost causing a Holy Land war.”

…

By the time it reached the end, a piece of news, centered on Supreme Sacred Ground, spread wildly through the spoken accounts of the Ten Thousand Sects Disciples:

“Gu Liangyuan, due to a conflict between his Disciple and a Taiyi Disciple, in a fit of rage, stormed into Taiyi Holy Land’s residence and castrated all the Taiyi Elders, including Ditian.”

From then on, following the titles of “Exiled Immortal,” “Disciple-Protecting Maniac,” and “Peerless Prodigy,” Gu Liangyuan once again gained a new title in Eastern Continent: “Eunuch.”

This matter even spread to the Mortal world. For a long time, flower thieves would tremble in fear upon hearing the word “Eunuch.”

Mortals who didn't understand would simply assume there was such an Immortal, so those Mortal families with unmarried daughters would enshrine a “Eunuch” tablet at home for peace.

Within the Guest Peak of Supreme Sacred Ground.

Ditian listened to his subordinate reporting the rumors outside and immediately became furious.

Under the surge of his Aura, all items within a meter of him instantly turned to dust!

“Gu Liang, you little thief, you bully me too much!”

Looking at the Elders on both sides whose expressions were also not good, Ditian let out a long breath, suppressing the anger in his heart:

“Don’t you worry about this matter. The reason I retreated has my own considerations.”

“I promise you, Gu Liangyuan will die!”

“But none of you are allowed to act rashly, understand?”

Ditian’s prestige within Taiyi Holy Land was considerable. Although everyone had some murmurs in their hearts, no one spoke out against him.

“Alright, step back for now and prepare for the upcoming Ten Thousand Sects Assembly.”

“Yes.”

After the Elders retreated, Ditian’s figure flickered, leaving Supreme Sacred Ground and arriving at an unnamed barren mountain.

Not long after, the figure of an old man appeared out of thin air, but his body seemed to be shrouded in thick fog, making his face unclear:

“You’ve come.”

Upon seeing the newcomer, Ditian hastily bowed:

“Ditian greets Vehicle Lord.”

The person slightly raised his hand:

“Alright, let’s not bother with these formalities between us.”

“I know you must be unhappy, but for Mo Emperor’s plan, you must endure it.”

Seeing the unwillingness still on Ditian’s face, the old man comforted him again:

“You don’t need to wait too long either.”

“During the Fu Long Court, Mo Emperor will send Prodigies from Central Continent to help you.”

As he spoke, the old man looked into the distance, seemingly recalling something:

“When Tai Shang was besieged back then, the jade drum only sounded eight times, and it broke the crisis of annihilation.”

“As one of the oldest Legacies in the world, the previous Mo Emperor didn’t dare to gamble on the consequences of the jade drum sounding nine times, which is why he laid down the grand astrological lock to first restrict the development of Supreme Sacred Ground and then proceed slowly.”

“Now, the current Mo Emperor is ambitious and will not give Supreme Sacred Ground a chance to rise.”

“Fu Long Court… Hehe.”

“The Tai Shang Sect has always harbored ill intentions.”

“The rules of the Fu Long Court were established by them as a fallback.”

“As long as the time is ripe, the Tai Shang Sect can use the opportunity of the Fu Long Court to unify Eastern Continent and rebuild the Dynasty!”

“And then become the National Religion of the Dynasty, using the Dynasty’s Luck to soar to the heavens!”

“Unfortunately, Mo Emperor will not give them this opportunity.”

Looking at the thoughtful Ditian beside him, the old man said:

“Serve Mo Emperor well, and I promise you, Gu Liangyuan will die before the Fu Long Court ends!”

“Your Taiyi Holy Land might also be able to use this opportunity to unify Eastern Continent!”

Ditian imagined himself unifying Eastern Continent, his face showing excitement:

“Yes!”
