275: Anti-Yuan Alliance? Just a death list!
Just like that, with various forces fanning the flames, for a baseless rumor, various forces verbally attacked Gu Liangyuan, and the countries surrounding the Great Abyss unanimously pointed their spears at the Great Abyss.
Meanwhile, Da Chen, under Tai Yi's command, expanded wildly under the leadership of numerous Family Disciples.
In just half a month, it had conquered six small surrounding countries.
Although there was constant verbal criticism, these people were honest with their actions; not a single one dared to cause trouble at the Supreme Sacred Ground.
As more Sects joined the Dao Alliance, Gu Liangyuan also learned about the movements on Qingshan Sect's side.
Through the deduction of the Law of Karma, Gu Liangyuan, though unable to pinpoint the exact mastermind, roughly guessed the full story.
“Good, good, good, so this is how you want to play!”
“You say I'm ruthless and cruel, right?”
“I’ll show you just how cruel I can be!”
Seeing Lü Qingmei and Yang Qiong cast worried glances, Gu Liangyuan waved his hand, said it was nothing, and then, with a flash of his figure, arrived at Golden Core Peak.
On Golden Core Peak, Master Wan Yan had dozens of Medicinal Pills laid out before him:
Forget-Worry Pill, Kai Mai Pill, Fuhu Pill, Huaying Pill...
These Medicinal Pills were all developed by Master Wan Yan himself, and at a glance, each one looked extraordinary.
Even Gu Liangyuan, using his Innate Divine Eyes, couldn't detect any flaws without a careful look.
Yet, in front of these Medicinal Pills were dozens of monkey corpses.
Clearly, these Medicinal Pills had been consumed by the spirit monkeys, and they had all died.
Master Wan Yan at this moment looked very disheartened, muttering:
“It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be.”
“As a Rank Four Alchemist, must I only refine Medicinal Pills according to the Pill Formulas of my predecessors?”
“How can I not even develop a Rank One Pill Formula?”
Master Wan Yan felt deeply struck.
Gu Liangyuan, in the air, looked at these Medicinal Pills, his eyes lighting up.
These were Supreme Sharp Weapons for defrauding and harming lives, he thought, and took them.
As Master Wan Yan was pondering, he suddenly saw all the Medicinal Pills before him disappear.
Looking up, he saw Gu Liangyuan.
Master Wan Yan listlessly saluted:
“Junior Martial Uncle, you've arrived.”
Gu Liangyuan stepped forward and patted Master Wan Yan's shoulder:
“Everyone has their own strengths; you don't need to force it.”
“Even these Medicinal Pills are very effective for the Supreme Sacred Ground.”
Master Wan Yan blinked at Gu Liangyuan:
“Really?”
Gu Liangyuan nodded: “Really. You should quickly prepare a batch during this time; I have a use for them.”
Master Wan Yan, having received approval, felt much better.
“Junior Martial Uncle, what can I do for you?”
Gu Liangyuan followed Master Wan Yan's words and stated his true purpose for this visit:
“How much explosive Medicinal Pill stock does our Supreme Sacred Ground have now?”
Master Wan Yan blurted out: “There isn't much explosive Medicinal Pill for anything below the Core Formation Realm...”
Seeing Gu Liangyuan frown, he quickly explained:
“Even discarded Pill Furnaces cost money, so mass producing these is not very cost-effective.”
“Since Junior Sister Bai Qing took over the finances, our Tai Shang Sect's income has increased more than tenfold.”
“With this resource boost, Golden Core Peak has a million explosive Medicinal Pills for the Core Formation Realm, fifty to sixty thousand for the Nascent Soul Realm, but fewer for the Soul Transformation level, with less than ten thousand in storage.”
“However, through my continuous efforts during this period, I personally created two hundred explosive Medicinal Pills comparable to a full-force attack from a Lianxu Peak cultivator.”
“It's just that the cost is a bit high, and it didn't seem worth it, so I stopped refining them.”
Gu Liangyuan nodded in satisfaction: “These are enough. Within two days, have Zhang Heng take all of them to the Great Abyss.”
Zhang Heng, Master Wan Yan's third personal Disciple.
He had no special talents, but his loyalty was one hundred percent.
Listening to Gu Liangyuan's words, Master Wan Yan was a little surprised:
“Junior Martial Uncle, aren't these meant to be used when preparing for war with Chen Country? How come...”
Although Master Wan Yan didn't finish his sentence, Gu Liangyuan knew what he wanted to say.
Gu Liangyuan didn't explain directly but looked towards the Great Abyss.
As if informing, yet also speaking to himself:
“Some people just seek death; I can't stop them, can I?”
As he spoke, a faint Evil Qi flickered around him, causing Master Wan Yan to feel a subtle palpitation.
Master Wan Yan nodded: “I understand. I'll go arrange it now.”
Bidding farewell to Master Wan Yan, Gu Liangyuan's figure flashed again, arriving at Tianji Peak, where he met Tianji Peak Master Li Buzheng.
At this moment, Li Buzheng was seated on a high platform, dressed in a Daoist robe, holding a horsetail whisk, looking like an immortal.
Hundreds of Disciples below were sitting neatly, listening to Li Buzheng preach the Dao.
“The Dao of Heavenly Secrets is divided into three stages: number, principle, and phenomenon.”
“The so-called number refers to the various numerology techniques you study, such as Liuyao, Meihua, and Taiyi Shenshu.”
“Deducing the future through numerology, this is the initial stage.”
“Further on is principle, through the Supreme principles of heaven and earth...”
After explaining, Li Buzheng flicked the horsetail whisk in his hand:
“Alright, today's sermon ends here.”
“Finally, what I want to tell you is that the process of our cultivation is also the process of cultivating our hearts.”
“Ancestral Master once said, 'By not contending, no one in the world can contend with him.' ”
“Therefore, we should usually strive not to contend, not to snatch, not to be angry, not to be sad...”
As he was speaking, Gu Liangyuan arrived.
Li Buzheng stopped his sermon and stood up, saying: “Greetings, Junior Martial Uncle.”
All the Disciples also rose in unison: “Greetings, Senior Grand-Uncle.”
Gu Liangyuan waved his hand, and a gentle Law power helped everyone up:
“No need for formalities.”
Li Buzheng spoke: “Junior Martial Uncle, what brings you here?”
Gu Liangyuan: “I want all the Disciples and Elders of your peak to mobilize. Within three days, give me the membership list of the Anti-Yuanyuan Alliance.”
“Anti-Yuanyuan Alliance?”
Li Buzheng murmured, indicating his confusion.
So Gu Liangyuan told him the whole story.
After listening, Li Buzheng was so angry that his beard bristled and his eyes widened:
“Good, good, good! These small Sects dare to provoke my Supreme Sacred Ground; they're truly turning against the natural order!”
“Junior Martial Uncle, don't worry, I can find out everything within a day.”
“If we go to war with them, Junior Martial Uncle, you must not leave me out.”
As Gu Liangyuan nodded, he slowly disappeared.
Li Buzheng's anger had not subsided, and he looked down to see all the Disciples looking at him expectantly.
Someone asked: “Peak Master, didn't you say that one should not contend?”
“This...” Li Buzheng stroked his beard, his eyes darting around.
“Ahem.”
Suddenly remembering something, Li Buzheng lightly coughed twice, flicked his horsetail whisk, and his figure gradually disappeared.
Only a sentence echoed between heaven and earth:
“Contention is non-contention, and non-contention is contention. It seems you still haven't understood my profound meaning, alas!”
“Whoever can comprehend this sentence, I will take as my personal Disciple.”
Echo: “Personal Disciple.”
“Disciple.”
“-ciple...”
Li Buzheng disappeared, leaving behind a group of thoughtful Disciples.
Inside the Tianji Hall, Li Buzheng smiled proudly:
“I don't even know what it means myself; it would be a ghost if you could comprehend it.”
After speaking, Li Buzheng remembered the matter of the Anti-Yuanyuan Alliance, his expression changed, and he gnashed his teeth:
“Anti-Yuanyuan Alliance, you insist on opposing my Supreme Sacred Ground, do you? Good, good, good!”
