234: The whole world was shocked!

After the decree was announced, Mo Emperor spoke about some follow-up matters for the Zhuge Family, then dismissed the court.

Ji Xuan returned to the Zhuge Family without a word after receiving the order.

Seeing Old Ancestor's silence, the Zhuge Family's descendants also remained quiet.

After a long time, Ji Xuan ordered:

"Call Ji Yue and Ji Changkong here. Take one-quarter of my Ji Family's wealth... No, one-third of the family's wealth as a master-apprentice gift, and let the siblings separately become Personal Disciples of Yang Qiong and Lü Qingmei."

"Also, remove their names from the family tree."

"Spread the word that they stole treasures and betrayed the Ji Family."

Huh?

Ji Xuan's order left everyone in the Ji Family a bit stunned.

Ji Xuan's eyes gleamed with wisdom:

"Times are different now. Gu Liangyuan has shown signs of prominence and has become a great threat to Ancient Mo."

"But his great threat to Ancient Mo is not our Ji Family's great threat!"

"In the struggle between the two, Ancient Mo might win, or Tai Shang might win, but our Ji Family will not lose."

"With Changkong and Yue'er, no matter who wins, our Ji Family's Bloodline will not be cut off!"

"Changkong and Yue'er's Aptitude is already not bad, plus this one-third of the family wealth, Gu Liangyuan will surely be tempted."

"Sacrificing wealth to preserve life, this deal is not a loss!"

Some clansmen suddenly understood, praising that Old Ancestor still saw things far ahead.

Upon receiving the order, the clansmen immediately took action.

The world is like a chess game; those within the game each have their own plans and schemes!

...

Gu Liangyuan and the others returned to Tai Shang Sect, and the True Martial Demon Subduing Grand Formation was activated for three consecutive days.

Seeing that Ancient Mo indeed made no military movements, everyone finally relaxed and deactivated the True Martial Demon Subduing Grand Formation.

After the meritorious rewards were distributed, the Disciples of Taiyi Holy Land and Supreme Jade Pool were immersed in joy.

Gu Liangyuan also kept his promise; the treasure vault remained untouched and was distributed in its entirety.

The Zhuge Family's treasure vault was indeed abundant; almost every Body Integration Cultivator who participated received a Spirit Treasure, mostly Medium Grade ones.

Those Undergoing Tribulation Cultivators also received life-extending Spirit Medicine and some spiritual items as they wished.

The Core Formation Disciples received at least nearly a thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

The highest earners received three Heavenly Rank Magical Artifacts.

One must know that the Ten Thousand Sects Assembly's reward was merely a Heavenly Rank Magical Artifact.

For a Magical Artifact that even Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators yearned for, a Core Formation Disciple directly possessing three was an astonishing fortune for him.

This was a treatment that even Personal Disciples of other peaks might not have, causing envy and jealousy among other Disciples.

It is worth mentioning that this great battle was a complete crush from beginning to end; let alone deaths, there were few seriously injured Disciples.

This caused the Elders and Disciples not only to lose their fear of war but also to look forward to the next one.

One by one, they clamored, wishing they could go and conquer the capital right now.

In addition, after this battle, a camaraderie developed between the Supreme Jade Pool and Tai Shang Sect Disciples, accelerating the speed of the two families' Fusion.

With this matter concluded, the lives of the Disciples and Elders returned to normal.

The Elders and Disciples of Xuan Du Peak continued to help Supreme Jade Pool establish the True Martial Demon Subduing Grand Formation, while Master Wan Yan and the people from Wuji Peak continued to research the warship, summarizing the shortcomings of this battle and improving them.

Lü Qingmei and Yang Qiong handled the matters of the Cult Leader Immortal Assembly. After Gu Liangyuan bestowed the Puppet upon his Disciple, he began to research his Natal Dao Soldier.

With Taiyi Holy Land and Supreme Jade Pool advancing side by side, everything seemed to be developing in a beautiful direction.

Within Tai Shang Sect, it was calm, but outside, a huge commotion had been stirred up!

How could such a big movement in Xi Dou Pass be hidden from those with intentions?

Within Taiyi Holy Land, Di Tian sat cross-legged, his body exuding the unique pressure of a Body Integration Cultivator.

Since he comprehended Gu Liangyuan's spirit, not only had his Heart-Nature improved, but his Cultivation also had a Breakthrough.

He had already stayed at Lianxu Peak for a long time, and now reaching Body Integration was a natural progression.

"Indeed, it wasn't my problem; it's that Gu Liangyuan cannot be judged by common sense!"

"Even Mo Emperor has repeatedly suffered setbacks at his hands, let alone me?"

"I just don't know why, after such a big event, Mo Emperor hasn't reacted?"

"Who cares, I need to be steady."

"If I don't move, then so be it; if I move, I'll shock the world!"

"I'm steady!"

Di Tian remained in seclusion, which made it hard for Liu Ruyan, who had been waiting outside for many days.

She had waited for so long, yet she hadn't seen Di Tian come out once.

This made her frown; the Di Tian in her impression was a reckless brute.

How could he have become so patient now?

Her gaze swept across, looking at Luo Mo in the distance, who had transformed into a centipede and was staring motionlessly at Taiyi Holy Land's main gate.

She didn't know how Di Tian had provoked this stubborn fellow, who just guarded the Taiyi Holy Land entrance, unmoving.

Never mind, she couldn't just guard Di Tian; the main target was still Song Xianer, so she would let him off for now.

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly felt something unusual in her Storage Pouch at her waist.

She slapped it, and a sound transmission stone appeared in her hand.

There was only one sentence in the sound transmission stone:

"Never lay hands on a Forget-Love Peak Disciple, remember, remember!"

Liu Ruyan frowned. Why did Purple Bamboo Holy Land suddenly send her such a strange message?

Her intuition told her there was something fishy about this.

Her figure flickered, and she arrived at a nearby Cultivator city.

As soon as she sat down in a restaurant, she got the information she wanted.

She heard a young man dressed as a Sect Disciple say to his companions:

"You all received the Sect's message, right?"

Someone nodded: "Received it. From now on, if we encounter Forget-Love Peak... no, if we encounter Disciples from Taiyi Holy Land and Supreme Jade Pool, we have to walk around them."

"Gu Liangyuan is too fierce. For one Disciple, he broke Bei Dou Pass. We thought it would end there, but he didn't stop, directly wiping out a Central Continent aristocratic family!"

"That was a Central Continent aristocratic family! The Zhuge Family's strength was inferior to Tai Shang Sect, but living within the Ancient Ink Dynasty gave them a natural advantage; ordinary Holy Land wouldn't dare to provoke them."

"Yet, Gu Liangyuan led his troops to break through Xi Dou Pass and destroyed the Zhuge Family near the capital."

"It's said that there wasn't even a wisp of a remnant soul at the scene; he's too brutal."

Another person nodded: "A doting Disciple maniac, well-deserved."

"Better to die than provoke Forget-Love Peak, or it won't just be your own business; even your Sect will suffer."

Everyone deeply agreed.

Someone at a nearby table, listening to their conversation, spoke up in rebuttal:

"Taiyi Holy Land and Supreme Jade Pool just merged. It's fine if he doesn't develop them properly, but instead, he caused such a big commotion. Does he really think the Ancient Ink Dynasty is easy to bully?"

"If you ask me, the two great Holy Lands will be ruined by him sooner or later."

Before this table could reply, a female fan of Gu Liangyuan at another table couldn't stand it anymore and immediately slapped the table, standing up:

"Who are you talking about?"

"Cult Master Gu Liang acts on his convictions; that's what a true man does. Unlike you, who can only hide in corners like rats, talking behind people's backs."

"Little girl, who are you calling a rat?"

"I'm talking about you!"

"Alright, alright, young people nowadays really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Which Sect's Disciple are you? State your name."

This female Cultivator cupped her hands towards the Tai Shang Sect direction:

"Supreme Jade Pool Disciple, Tao Yaoyao."

Saying that, the female Cultivator activated her Supreme Jade Pool Cultivation Technique.

With a clang, her Disciple's sword was unsheathed:

"What do you intend to do?"

Whoosh!

The moment the female Cultivator revealed her identity, the surrounding Cultivators scattered, moving away.

Some hugged beams, some hid in corners.

Fearing that they would be affected.

Just now, people were saying not to provoke Supreme Jade Pool and Tai Shang Sect, and now a Supreme Jade Pool Disciple appeared.

The male Cultivator who had just mocked Gu Liangyuan suddenly laughed uproariously:

"Supreme Jade Pool Disciple?"

"What's so special about a Supreme Jade Pool Disciple!"

Saying that, the male Cultivator slapped his Storage Pouch, and a Heavenly Rank Treasure Sword appeared in his hand.

The male Cultivator held the sword in both hands:

"I'm giving you this sword, do you dare not take it!"

"If you dare not take it, do you believe I'll kneel here right now!"
