223: Are Gu Liangyuan’s disciples also so cruel?

After doing all this, Lin Furen summoned the elders of the clan and gave them some instructions.

Just as they were about to depart, Ying Jiu returned with the Twelve Shadow Guards:

"Reporting to Madam, Yue Hong left the Immortal Sound Pavilion a day ago and has been missing ever since."

Little Red's disappearance, combined with what Song Rentou said, immediately caused Lin Furen's expression to change:

"Oh no, my son is in danger!"

Lin Furen immediately cast aside all other concerns, raised her hand, and conjured a flying boat as large as a giant whale.

After everyone boarded the flying boat, it flashed, tearing through the Void Realm, and headed straight for the Eastern Continent.

Within the Imperial Palace of Yuan Country, Eastern Continent.

Qianqiu, clad in a Dragon Robe, sat at the head of the table.

The aura of an emperor swirled around her, and with every movement, there was a faint hint of wind and thunder!

Having cultivated the Emperor's Scripture, she was no longer the timid girl she once was, now possessing the demeanor of an empress.

Below, Jun Ao Zhi, Mo Chen, Oriental Heng, and Song Xianer sat on either side.

Everyone else seemed to be pondering something, only Song Xianer frequently looked at Qianqiu, her sense of crisis exploding.

At this moment, Qianqiu, ever since the establishment of Great Abyss, had seen her cultivation soar.

In just one month, she had broken through two realms, reaching Core Formation Stage Three, one level higher than Song Xianer.

With her knowledge, Song Xianer naturally recognized that Qianqiu had learned the method of 운 garden (Yun Ting) and was blessed by the Luck of Yuan Country.

In fact, after Qianqiu reached Core Formation Stage Three, her cultivation speed slowed down.

But Song Xianer also knew that this was because Yuan Country's strength was not yet great, so its Luck could not push Qianqiu further.

As Yuan Country's national power grew stronger, Qianqiu's cultivation speed would also become faster and faster.

Now, only a year and a half remained until the Fu Long Court, and after the Fu Long Court, once Yuan Country was unified, wouldn't Qianqiu always suppress her?

This wasn't the most important thing; the most important thing was that as Yuan Country's strength became formidable, Revered Master would also pay more attention to Yuan Country, leading to more and more interactions between Qianqiu and Revered Master.

Song Xianer vaguely saw a scene: Gu Liangyuan sitting on the Dragon Throne, Qianqiu reclining in Gu Liangyuan's arms, her arms wrapped around Gu Liangyuan's neck, showing extreme intimacy.

And she, however, stood below, watching all of this with envy.

Gu Liangyuan suddenly spoke:

"Xian'er, why don't you call her Senior Mother?"

Song Xianer shivered violently, snapping back to reality.

No, I will never allow this to happen!

I must be the one to win the first prize!

Song Xianer thought long and hard, realizing she could only suppress Qianqiu from two aspects.

One was the improvement of her strength, and the other was her assistance to Gu Liangyuan.

In Song Xianer's heart, a direction gradually formed.

Qianqiu, from above, spoke at this moment:

"Now that Great Abyss has just been established, everything is waiting to be done. The matters of spreading the Dao and training soldiers will be entrusted to all my Junior Sisters and Junior Brothers."

The few nodded, Mo Chen spoke with a fervent expression:

"Revered Master has already made arrangements for this, Senior Sister can rest assured."

"This is not only for Great Abyss and Luck, but also to verify my Dao. Although time is tight, I have confidence."

Oriental Heng also stated:

"Revered Master has already pointed out my cultivation path,

How can I let him down?

I have already found three thousand great Confucian scholars.

Tomorrow, I will have those children read books together."

After saying that, Oriental Heng added:

"I cultivate Sword Qi with literary Qi, unmatched above the Nine Heavens."

Listening to Oriental Heng's words, the five disciples in the great hall were filled with heroic spirit.

Just at this moment, a harsh, aged voice suddenly came from the sky:

"Yue Hong, where are you running to!"

As the voice fell, the pressure of a Great Vehicle expert appeared faintly in the air.

The five exited the great hall and looked up, only to see a Great Vehicle elder in the sky chasing a woman in red.

Jun Ao Zhi saw the woman's face and his pupils immediately contracted:

"Little Red!"

The other four simultaneously turned to look at Jun Ao Zhi.

They were all familiar with the matter between Jun Ao Zhi and Little Red.

Upon hearing Jun Ao Zhi call Little Red's name, Song Xianer was the first to react, flicking her finger, and the Forget-Love Pill in her hand shot into Jun Ao Zhi's mouth.

"Little Red... ugh... cough cough cough..."

Jun Ao Zhi let out another affectionate call, but halfway through, he felt a bitter taste in his throat as the Forget-Love Pill was swallowed.

As the Forget-Love Pill entered his stomach, Jun Ao Zhi's mind cleared a bit.

But as the elder approached Little Red, Jun Ao Zhi's heart gradually became filled with Little Red again.

Little Red, who was fleeing above, seemed to have sensed Jun Ao Zhi's call, frantically descending from the clouds and arriving beside everyone.

Without a word, she hid behind Jun Ao Zhi:

"Young Master Jun, save me."

Listening to that long-unheard voice, Jun Ao Zhi felt his heart melt.

All thoughts of 'four not to spare, two not to save' were completely thrown to the back of his mind, and he completely forgot the disparity in strength between himself and the other party.

As for why Little Red was being pursued by a Great Vehicle expert, or why she was fleeing here, Jun Ao Zhi didn't ask, he just firmly protected Yue Hong behind him:

"Little Red, don't be afraid, this Young Master is here."

"Young Master~" Little Red called out sweetly.

Listening to Little Red's call, Jun Ao Zhi's protective instincts were immediately fully engaged.

Looking at the Great Ascension Realm Expert who had descended, he advanced instead of retreating:

"Senior, I am Jun Ao Zhi, the direct descendant of the Jun Family. If Little Red has offended Senior in any way, I will bear all responsibility for her."

In a cave thousands of miles away, Zhuge Deng and the other retainers had a mirror suspended before them.

The scene inside the mirror was precisely the one inside the Dayuan Imperial Palace.

Jun Ao Zhi's actions were seen by them in every detail.

When Jun Ao Zhi spoke those words, a smile appeared on Zhuge Deng's face.

Stable!

This is stable!

Both the Great Ascension Realm Expert and Yue Hong were, naturally, arranged by him.

In the mirror, the Great Ascension Realm Expert's expression was initially fierce, but when he heard Jun Ao Zhi mention that he was a direct descendant of the Jun Family, his eyes became uncertain and surprised.

A retainer behind him spoke: "Old Sun's acting is quite good."

Zhuge Deng nodded in agreement: "Indeed, not bad."

The Great Ascension Realm Expert seemed to be wary of the Jun Family direct descendant's identity, which was why he spoke to Jun Ao Zhi:

"It's fine to tell you. She swallowed my Profound Nether Pill. I want to refine her in a Pill Furnace while the medicinal effect hasn't worn off, to extract the medicinal effect again."

Profound Nether Pill, a first-grade Medicinal Pill, rarely seen in the world.

Upon hearing this, Jun Ao Zhi carefully checked his Storage Pouch and found that his belongings were nowhere near the value of the Profound Nether Pill.

Only when he saw the familiar Purple Bell did his eyes light up.

He flipped his hand and handed the Immortal Artifact Purple Bell to the Mahayana expert:

"This Immortal Artifact should be enough for your Profound Nether Pill, right?"

Looking at the Immortal Artifact in Jun Ao Zhi's hand, the Great Ascension Realm elder's eyes went straight.

Truly worthy of being the head of the four prodigal sons of the Central Continent.

For a woman, he gives away an Immortal Artifact without hesitation.

He naturally wanted this Immortal Artifact, but he also knew that if he took this Immortal Artifact and thus ruined Zhuge Deng's plan, not only would the Zhuge Family not let him go, but the Jun Family would not let him go either.

An Immortal Artifact is not as important as one's life.

He reluctantly shifted his gaze from the Purple Bell and, following Zhuge Deng's instructions, spoke:

"I don't want anything else, I just want the Profound Nether Pill."

Jun Ao Zhi was in a difficult situation at this point, and just as he was about to say something softer, he suddenly felt movement behind him.

He turned his head to look, only to see Qianqiu, Song Xianer, Mo Chen, and Oriental Heng simultaneously attacking Little Red.

Their attacks were deadly moves!

Qianqiu directly unleashed a Void Refining strike bestowed by Gu Liangyuan, Song Xianer took out a Soul Transformation Puppet, Mo Chen used his strongest attack, and Oriental Heng's Azure Dragon in his sword blocked Jun Ao Zhi!

They all realized that Jun Ao Zhi's confusion was entirely due to the woman in front of him!

If this woman died, this situation could be broken!
