239: Hey, where is Di Tian?
With each word Gu Liangyuan spoke, Jiang Wubing's Face grew paler, and his eyes filled with more despair.
However, after Gu Liangyuan finished speaking, he suddenly laughed.
Gu Liangyuan asked, "Why are you laughing?"
Jiang Wubing replied, "I'm laughing because I'm alive."
"Are you so certain I won't kill you?"
"Certain. You are a proud person at heart; you wouldn't say so much to a useless person."
"Since you're saying these things to me, although I don't know why, I can be sure that I am still useful to you."
Gu Liangyuan suddenly grinned, and without any hesitation, the Nine Kill Sword instantly appeared and shot straight towards Jiang Wubing.
Jiang Wubing subconsciously clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
But after waiting for a moment, he didn't feel any pain.
Looking up, he saw the Nine Kill Sword suspended right at his glabella.
Gu Liangyuan reached out, and the Nine Kill Sword vanished into thin air.
Looking at Jiang Wubing, who was sweating on his forehead, Gu Liangyuan said:
"Look at how scared you are. I really thought you were so calm in the Face of life and death."
"Old Wang, take him back to Forget-Love Peak."
After giving this order, Gu Liangyuan no longer paid attention to Jiang Wubing, but instead spoke to a Void Realm in the distance:
"Since you're already here, why don't you come in? Do I have to invite each of you personally?"
As Gu Liangyuan's voice fell, over a hundred people appeared out of thin air.
These people were none other than the Family members of the Inner Sect Disciples of Forget-Love Peak.
The Xiao Family Clan Chief smiled and said:
"Aren't we just thinking it would be more impressive to make a grand entrance?"
"Since you, Cult Master Gu Liang, have spoken, then let's all go in together."
"Please."
"Please."
"Southern Domain Xiao Family, one low-grade spirit treasure!"
"Eastern Continent Zhao Family, one fifth-grade Divine Pill!"
"Zhou Dynasty Sun Family, one hundred vermillion fruit saplings."
"Eastern Continent Wang Family, fifty wind spirit dog pups."
"Eastern Continent Zhao Family..."
As Gu Liangyuan led these people in, Elder Sha was also loudly announcing the congratulatory gifts. To Gu Liangyuan, these things were nothing.
But for the Loose Cultivators outside the gate, just listening made their breathing quicken.
Any one of these items, if taken out, could benefit them immensely.
Leaving aside other things, even the lowest Intermediate-grade vermillion fruit saplings among these items could support a small Cultivation Family.
The vermillion fruit is gone once eaten, but the vermillion fruit tree can continuously provide vermillion fruits.
Moreover, as a spiritual plant, as long as it's not picked, the fruit will continuously accumulate Spiritual Qi, and its medicinal properties will increase with age.
"People can't be compared. We Loose Cultivators fight to the death for a single vermillion fruit, while they directly receive a hundred saplings. With the support of such resources, Holy Land Disciples are already a step ahead of us in their Innate abilities."
"Who says no."
"Alright, you two, stop sighing. If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for not having the talent to join a Holy Land."
"I don't like what you're saying. What's wrong with Loose Cultivators? Loose Cultivators aren't without talented Cultivators; they just don't like the rules and regulations of the Holy Land."
"We Loose Cultivators have also produced many powerful individuals."
"You're still focusing on those spiritual items. Don't you see who came today? Hidden Families that rarely appear, and people from Central Continent and Southern Domain. Gu Liangyuan's Face is truly immense."
"If you hit Ancient Mo, you'd also have such a great Face."
"Bah, you mean Mo Emperor wants to kill Gu Liangyuan."
"How so?"
"Just spouting nonsense!"
"Hmph, I think you're Mo Emperor preaching the Dao."
"What do you mean?"
"Nonsense."
"Who are you calling a eunuch!"
"I'm calling you!"
"I##***..."
Amidst the clamor, all the Family members entered.
Later, the top Sects of Eastern Continent also arrived.
Lü Qingmei and Yang Qiong personally came out to receive them one by one.
Although the Jun Family and the Great Zhou Imperial Family did not come in person, they sent people to deliver congratulatory gifts.
Due Holy Master also came, but Mo Emperor did not appear, only sending two Elders.
This surprised Lü Qingmei.
The merger of Supreme and Jade Pool affected not Ancient Mo the most, but Due and Taiyi.
Especially Taiyi, which had a bad relationship with Supreme, was most affected.
According to Lü Qingmei's understanding of Mo Emperor, Mo Emperor should be furious at this time.
In fact, she had already prepared for an early war with Taiyi.
But looking at Mo Emperor's current demeanor, he seemed completely unconcerned.
She couldn't understand it anymore.
After waiting for a moment and seeing no more guests, Lü Qingmei no longer thought much about it and returned to Forget-Love Peak with Yang Qiong.
Inside the main hall of Forget-Love Peak, Gu Liangyuan sat in the principal seat.
With the Tai Xuan Sword at his waist and the Supreme whisk in his hand, he exuded the aura of an immortal while not lacking in sharp Killing Intent.
Yang Qiong and Lü Qingmei sat on either side of Gu Liangyuan.
Below, the banquet almost filled the entire Forget-Love Hall.
Disciples from both the Supreme and Jade Pool Sects moved back and forth among the tables.
Either refilling wine or adding dishes.
However, the people below remained motionless, quietly waiting for Gu Liangyuan to speak from above.
Gu Liangyuan surveyed his surroundings, taking in everyone's information.
Six thousand Sects, two thousand Factions, eight hundred Gates, the nine great Hidden Families of Eastern Continent, the Eight Divine Sects, and two Holy Lands, all gathered.
Among them, there were also many spies from various Sects and Factions. Gu Liangyuan kept the information of these spies in mind but did not expose them.
He needed these spies to spread the news of this grand assembly.
When he saw Ji Xuan, who was hiding his identity in a corner, he remained calm.
Seven days ago, two Ji Family members, carrying a master-apprentice gift heavier than the Zhuge Family's treasury, wanted to become Disciples of Yang Qiong and Lü Qingmei.
Yang Qiong and Lü Qingmei couldn't make up their minds and came to ask him.
Gu Liangyuan knew that this was a message of goodwill from the Ji Family. Thinking that there was no previous enmity with the Ji Family, and adhering to the principle of taking what's offered, Gu Liangyuan ordered the master-apprentice gift to be placed in the treasury.
As for that pair of Ji Family members, he treated them as a pair of mascots and kept them in the Holy Land.
Today, seeing the Ji Family Clan Chief bringing Ancient Mo's people with ill intentions, Gu Liangyuan understood the Ji Family Clan Chief's meaning.
This old fellow wanted to play both sides.
However, Gu Liangyuan was not repulsed by this.
As long as he displayed power that crushed Mo Emperor, the Ji Family would naturally be at his disposal.
His gaze swept over Ji Xuan and then searched through the crowd. When he didn't see Mo Emperor's figure on the Taiyi Holy Land side, his brows furrowed slightly.
He had already planned it out. There would inevitably be dissenting voices at this Immortal Gathering, and he would have to make an example of someone.
And Mo Emperor was the example he had in mind.
The past grievances should also be settled.
But now, the monkeys had arrived, but the chicken hadn't.
Gu Liangyuan's gaze then turned to Due Holy Master. Since Mo Emperor hadn't come, Due Holy Master's status was almost sufficient.
If not, it would be him later.
Due Holy Master, sitting in the front, suddenly shivered, feeling a chill from the depths of his heart.
He looked up and met Gu Liangyuan's gaze.
This made Due Holy Master's heart tighten, and he quickly lowered his head.
Due Holy Land had always avoided being a trailblazer. In Due Holy Master's plan, Mo Emperor would definitely be furious about the merger of Supreme and Jade Pool.
At that time, Mo Emperor would take the lead, and he would assist from behind, opposing it.
There had been similar situations in the past, and he had always done it this way.
But he never expected that Mo Emperor wouldn't come.
This completely threw him off.
