139: Three hundred and eight chairs

Killing people while replenishing magic power—isn't that just a power bank!

Especially in group battles, the effect of this Nine Kill Sword is simply Heaven-Defying.

It's just that when I used the Nine Kill Sword before, I didn't discover this function, and I don't know if the function gradually increased as the Restriction was broken, or if it had to be triggered by holding it in hand while killing. I'll have to study it carefully later.

He looked around again, and after confirming that there was no one else, Gu Liangyuan took out the supreme card that Zhao Chi had given him.

With the caster dead, the tracking method on the card completely disappeared.

Gu Liangyuan put the card away with satisfaction, then put away the sword array, and walked out.

Below, Song Xianer had also finished destroying the bodies and handed the storage ring to Gu Liangyuan.

With this matter concluded, Gu Liangyuan summoned the auspicious cloud again, carrying Song Xianer and speeding towards Forget-Love Peak.

Not long after Gu Liangyuan left, the Void Realm where he had fought twisted for a while, and a man dressed in an official uniform walked out.

The man looked around and, seeing traces of a fight but no corpses, frowned slightly.

With a wave of his large sleeve, a light screen suddenly appeared in the Void Realm.

What was playing inside was exactly the scene of Zhao Chi and the other two hiding in the clouds.

Immediately after, Gu Liangyuan appeared.

However, in the light screen, Gu Liangyuan and Song Xianer's appearances were not clear.

It was just the moment Gu Liangyuan appeared that the light screen seemed unable to bear some kind of energy and suddenly shattered.

Looking at the shattered light screen, the man sneered:

"You think I can't guess who you are just because the heavenly secrets are Chaos?"

"Cleverness overreaches itself!"

"Anyone who can survive and counter-kill Zhao Chi and the other two must not be an unknown person in the Central Continent."

"This place is not far from the Supreme Sacred Ground, so it's highly likely to be someone from the Supreme Sacred Ground."

"Within the Supreme Sacred Ground, the only one who habitually carries a Spirit Treasure that blocks heavenly secrets, besides Li Buzheng of Tianji Peak…"

Speaking of this, the man's voice paused, then he said with certainty: "It's only you, Gu Liangyuan!"

After speaking, the man shook his head regretfully:

"If I gave you a few decades, perhaps you really could have become a force to be reckoned with."

"What a pity, what a pity, you just had to be born in the Supreme Sacred Ground."

With that, the man took a step and his figure disappeared into the Void Realm.

Half an hour after that person left, not far away, a wisp of flowing cloud slipped from the cloud cluster and transformed into Gu Liangyuan's appearance.

Gu Liangyuan stroked his chin, looking at the place where the person had disappeared earlier, a thoughtful expression in his eyes:

"It seems I guessed correctly; Ancient Ink Dynasty is indeed behind everything."

"It's understandable that he is wary of the Supreme Sacred Ground, after all, they have the trump card of the nine jade drum sounds."

"But his cultivation is clearly so high, and he doesn't know my trump cards, so why didn't he directly attack me?"

As he thought, the System panel of that person just now appeared in his mind:

Name: Che Hongzhou

Identity: Third Enshrined of Ancient Ink Dynasty

Cultivation: Mahayana Late Stage

Spiritual Root: Wood

Law: Space Law

Comprehension Ability: One in a hundred thousand li

Luck: Coexists with the Nation (Bound with the Luck of Ancient Ink Dynasty)

Cultivation Technique: Eight Revolutions Void Gazer Cultivation Technique…

Divine Ability: Void Realm Great Hand Seal…

Summary: The Third Enshrined of Ancient Ink Dynasty, a capable assistant under Mo Emperor, specializing in handling some unsavory matters for Mo Emperor.

Gu Liangyuan's heart, which had just calmed down from his Soul Transformation, once again felt an urgent sense of insufficient cultivation.

He needed to quickly have his Disciples form their Cores.

With five Disciples forming their Cores, he would directly break through five realms and reach Soul Transformation Seventh Heaven.

If he worked harder, Void Refining would be just around the corner.

Also, he needed to obtain the faction return function as soon as possible.

Only by being strong enough himself could he calmly deal with all kinds of unforeseen circumstances.

With this in mind, Gu Liangyuan no longer hesitated, taking a step and chasing after Song Xianer.

Not long after, Gu Liangyuan caught up with Song Xianer, who was riding the flowing clouds.

Song Xianer didn't ask much about Gu Liangyuan's sudden disappearance, and so, the two returned to Forget-Love Peak.

As soon as they arrived at the mountain gate of Forget-Love Peak, they saw Song Rentou waiting anxiously.

Seeing Gu Liangyuan from afar, Song Rentou quickly went up to him:

"Oh my Junior Martial Uncle, you're finally back."

"The sect masters in the main hall are all more influential than the last, and they specifically asked to see you. Even the Sect Master is a bit intimidated and can't keep them company."

Gu Liangyuan wondered:

"I admit I'm a bit more talented, a bit better-looking, a bit stronger in combat, a bit more super-human in Comprehension Ability, and a bit better at teaching Disciples, but it shouldn't be such a big deal, should it?"

Song Rentou pulled Gu Liangyuan and ran up: "You old man, stop with the 'a bit'. You'll know when we get up there."

And so, Gu Liangyuan was pulled by Song Rentou to the front of Forget-Love Hall.

As soon as he reached the hall entrance, Gu Liangyuan looked inside and subconsciously activated his investigation technique.

There were over two hundred people openly in the hall, and another hundred hidden in the shadows.

Aside from the younger Disciples, no one present had a cultivation lower than the Nascent Soul Realm; the lowest were all at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

The highest cultivation openly displayed even reached the Body Integration Middle Stage.

And those hidden in the shadows had even higher cultivations, one after another, with the highest having reached the Tribulation Transcendence Realm!

And there was more than one Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivator!

If these people had ill intentions, even using a Mahayana experience card, Gu Liangyuan wouldn't be confident of escaping unscathed.

Goodness gracious, what's going on?

While Gu Liangyuan was sizing up the crowd, the crowd was also sizing up Gu Liangyuan.

Looking at his temperament and appearance, they all secretly praised his good looks.

At first glance, his demeanor exuded the air of a renowned teacher!

At this moment, Lü Qingmei, in the middle of the crowd, let out a sigh of relief and quickly came to Gu Liangyuan's side, glaring at him with what she thought was a fierce look, and transmitted her voice to him:

"Haven't I been transmitting messages to you for a day or two? Why did you just arrive?"

However, Lü Qingmei's expression, in Gu Liangyuan's eyes, seemed rather cordial.

In the past, when Lü Qingmei spoke to him, she always maintained a business-like demeanor.

Although it was understandable for Lü Qingmei to act this way as the Sect Master, it made her seem less approachable.

Gu Liangyuan transmitted his reply:

"You only said there were distinguished guests, but you didn't say what kind of distinguished guests, so how would I know it would be this kind of scene?"

Lü Qingmei rolled her eyes at Gu Liangyuan, stopped transmitting her voice, and instead turned her head, put on a smiling Face, and introduced him to the crowd:

"This is our Forget-Love Peak Master, Gu Liangyuan."

Everyone also smiled and exchanged some polite words.

While the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Gu Liangyuan looked at the Juniors these people brought and roughly guessed their intentions.

However, it was a pity that among the hundred or so Family Juniors present, although some met the standard for infatuation value, not a single one met the conditions for a Personal Disciple.

But these people's Aptitude wasn't bad; in fact, it was even better than the Aptitude of his carefully selected Inner Sect Disciples.

This was also reasonable, as they were children of prominent Families, whose parents had extraordinary Aptitude, and they had been nurtured with Heaven And Earth Treasure from a young age.

Even if some had poor Aptitude, the elders in their clan had the strength and capital to change their Heaven-Defying fate.

Having guessed the purpose of these people's visit, Gu Liangyuan no longer bothered with excessive pleasantries and walked directly to the main seat, sitting down calmly.

He then instructed Song Rentou, who was beside him:

"Old Song, go prepare three hundred and eight chairs and let the guests sit down to talk."

Listening to Gu Liangyuan's words, everyone present looked around, with confusion in their eyes.

There were only about two hundred people in total, so what did it mean to prepare three hundred chairs?

And why such a specific number?
