201: The truth is revealed
Ditian was moved. As for Vehicle Lord's instructions...
The Zhuge Family forced me to go, so this can't be blamed on me, right?
If it were normal, Ditian would have thought more deeply, and even if he couldn't guess Zhuge Huaizhi's scheme, he would certainly have noticed something amiss.
But at this moment, his mind was completely immersed in the idea of killing Gu Liangyuan, subconsciously preventing himself from thinking deeply.
Or rather, he wanted to kill Gu Liangyuan at all costs, and Zhuge Huaizhi's arrival just gave him the opportunity to act.
Ditian immediately made a decision:
"Alright, I'll go with Fellow Daoist!"
Zhuge Huaizhi was overjoyed: "With the help of Taiyi Holy Land, my chances of capturing Gu Liangyuan are even greater."
"Fellow Daoist, don't worry, this time Fellow Daoist only needs to show up and voice support; other matters will be handled by our Zhuge Family."
"However, just in case, Fellow Daoist had best bring a few Dao Protectors to ensure safety."
Listening to Zhuge Huaizhi's words, Ditian sighed with emotion.
Who said the Cultivation World was only about fighting and killing? There are still many good people!
Ditian spoke to Zhuge Huaizhi: "Fellow Daoist speaks wisely. Please wait a moment, I'll be right back."
Before long, Ditian returned, bringing a few old monsters with him. Together with Zhuge Huaizhi, they headed straight for the Supreme Sacred Ground.
On a barren mountain not far from the Supreme Sacred Ground, Che Hongzhou stood on the summit, gazing in the direction of the Supreme Sacred Ground:
"This shouldn't be. With the speed of Zhuge Huaizhi and his group, they should have arrived three days ago. Why haven't they appeared until now?"
Just as he was muttering to himself, he suddenly saw a black cloud drifting from afar.
Looking up, his gaze penetrated the black cloud and landed on Zhuge Huaizhi and the others.
"Finally they're here... Wait!"
"Is that... Ditian!?"
Upon seeing this, Che Hongzhou's Face instantly turned ashen!
Mo Emperor's calculation was to make the Zhuge Family and the Supreme Sacred Ground confront each other.
Although the overall strength of the Zhuge Family was slightly weaker than the Supreme Sacred Ground, these large Families often intermarried.
As long as the Zhuge Family suffered a setback, it could be used to draw out the top aristocratic Family.
When the Family and the Supreme Sacred Ground faced off, constantly weakening each other's strength, Taiyi Holy Land could seize the opportunity to emerge and unify the Eastern Continent.
But with Ditian appearing at this time, the nature of the situation was completely different.
Yet, he couldn't step forward to stop them now. Everyone might know Mo Emperor's calculations, but as long as there was no evidence, no one could say anything openly.
As Mo Emperor's man, if he were to step forward now, wouldn't it be equivalent to handing a handle to these people?
"Useless fellow!"
Che Hongzhou cursed under his breath, took out a communication stone, and after transmitting the news to the Divine Capital, he vanished into the Void Realm, completely disappearing.
In the sky, Zhuge Huaizhi had his army wait in place, then descended from the clouds with Ditian and two great offerings.
Upon arriving at the mountain gate and stating their identities, the gate-guarding Disciple dared not delay and hurried off to Wuji Peak to report.
At this time, because Gu Liangyuan had not yet subdued Yaochi, to be on the safe side, Gu Liangyuan's identity as Cult Master was only known to a few core members within the Supreme Sacred Ground.
Ordinary Disciples still treated Lü Qingmei as the Sect Leader, as usual.
When Lü Qingmei learned that the Zhuge Family and Ditian had come together, she knew that their intentions were surely not good.
After a moment of contemplation, she ordered the Disciple: "Bring them to see me."
"Yes."
After the gate-guarding Disciple acknowledged the order and withdrew, Lü Qingmei immediately said to Chu Xingyue, her Personal Disciple, who was behind her:
"Go quickly and invite your Shishu Zu (Senior Grand-Uncle) Gu Liang to come."
Chu Xingyue accepted the order and headed straight for Forget-Love Peak.
At this time, within Forget-Love Peak, Gu Liangyuan and Yang Chang were seated opposite each other around an ancient square table.
On the table was the formation diagram of the True Martial Demon Subduing Grand Formation.
Yang Chang gently caressed the patterns on the formation diagram, his eyes revealing a look of obsession:
"Wonderful, truly wonderful."
"If it weren't for the limitations of our world, this formation diagram would definitely be able to exert even more powerful might."
Gu Liangyuan ignored Yang Chang's lament:
"I just want to know how many days it will take to set up this grand formation."
Listening to Gu Liangyuan's words, Yang Chang reluctantly shifted his gaze from the formation diagram.
"Such a complex grand formation, even with complete Materials, would take four or five months to complete."
Gu Liangyuan frowned:
"Can't it be completed within two months?"
Yang Chang looked troubled: "It could be rushed if we worked day and night, but I'm afraid those Elders and Disciples would be too tired."
As he spoke, Yang Chang rubbed his fingers.
How could Gu Liangyuan not understand Yang Chang's meaning? He laughed heartily:
"Spirit Stone is not a problem."
"Alright, that's all I needed to hear from Junior Martial Uncle."
"I'll go arrange it now."
With that, he slipped out of Forget-Love Hall and headed straight for Xuan Du Peak.
Looking at Yang Chang's gradually shrinking back, Gu Liangyuan suddenly felt a sense of pressure.
Before this, although he also managed Forget-Love Peak, Forget-Love Peak only had a few hundred people, and the Supreme Sacred Ground was above them, so he felt no pressure at all.
Even if there were financial difficulties in between, he had ways to get some Spirit Stone to cover it.
But now, he was about to control two Holy Lands, nearly a hundred thousand Disciples and Elders.
The daily needs and various aspects of these people were not small matters.
"It seems I'll have to visit the other six peaks when I have time, to find some specific talents. Only then can I save myself trouble and have time to do more things."
"I wonder how Qianqiu and the others are doing now?"
"And that Yaochi Sacred Ground, it's time to visit them as well."
"Passing through Ji Kingdom on the way to Yaochi, I'll just go see them."
As Gu Liangyuan was thinking this, a knock suddenly sounded.
"Enter!"
As Gu Liangyuan's voice fell, Song Rentou stepped into Forget-Love Hall:
"Junior Martial Uncle, Chu Xingyue from Wuji Peak just sent word that Sect Leader wants you to go to Wuji Peak, saying that someone from the Zhuge Family has arrived."
Gu Liangyuan's eyes narrowed slightly: "Finally they're here?"
"Alright, I understand."
Gu Liangyuan immediately left Forget-Love Hall, performed Zhou Tian Wu Xiang, combined with Instantaneous Movement, and headed straight for Limitless Hall.
Inside Limitless Hall, Zhuge Huaizhi spoke to Lü Qingmei:
"Sect Leader Lu, I presume you have a rough idea of the purpose of our visit."
As soon as Zhuge Huaizhi spoke, the fierce light in Lü Qingmei's eyes was completely undisguised!
The grand formation within Limitless Hall suddenly flickered, and several Mahayana Realm auras in the shadows appeared faintly.
Seeing this, Zhuge Huaizhi's expression remained unchanged:
"Sect Leader Lu, why be so nervous? If I wanted to be an enemy of the Supreme Sacred Ground, I would have acted directly, instead of entering the Supreme Sacred Ground alone as I am now."
Upon hearing this, Lü Qingmei's fierce gaze slightly receded:
"Then what is the meaning of your Zhuge Family?"
Zhuge Huaizhi glanced at Ditian without a change in expression, and Ditian immediately understood.
Completely unaware that he was being used as a pawn, he stood up and spoke to Lü Qingmei:
"Sect Leader Lu, you must be aware that Gu Liangyuan has humiliated me several times."
"But out of consideration for the Supreme Sacred Ground's Face, I endured again and again, yet what I got in return was not peace, but Gu Liangyuan's pushing his luck!"
"Now, Gu Liangyuan has even caused such a monstrous disaster!"
"This child may seem extraordinarily talented, but all he brings to the Supreme Sacred Ground is trouble!"
Lü Qingmei interrupted Ditian:
"I don't like beating around the bush. Just speak your mind."
"Good, Sect Leader Lu truly speaks directly."
"My request is very simple: hand over Gu Liangyuan!"
