276: Seven peaks moving together

After leaving Tianji Peak, Gu Liangyuan arrived at Wo Niu Peak.

Unlike the previous two peaks, Wo Niu Peak seemed peaceful.

Aside from a small number of Core Formation Disciples who were dispatched to Great Abyss, most Disciples were still living their lives as before, content and at ease.

Upon entering Wo Niu Hall, Gu Liangyuan met Zhao Cang, the Peak Master of Wo Niu Peak.

After Zhao Cang greeted him with a bow, Gu Liangyuan went straight to the point:

“How far along is the cultivation of those Spirit Beasts?”

Cultivating a large number of Spirit Beasts—this was an order Gu Liangyuan had given Zhao Cang since he took office.

The cultivation of Spirit Beasts was even more expensive than manufacturing explosion pills.

During this period, in addition to Bai Qing's continuous appropriations, Gu Liangyuan often used his private treasury to supplement the funds.

Upon hearing Gu Liangyuan’s inquiry, Zhao Cang almost blurted out:

“Eighty thousand Seventh-Rank Earth-Cracking Steeds, six thousand Sixth-Rank Black Tigers, and three thousand Sixth-Rank Iron-Winged Eagles.”

Gu Liangyuan nodded with satisfaction; Seventh-Rank Spirit Beasts were already comparable to Core Formation Cultivators.

If these Spirit Beasts were equipped to the Disciples, their strength would definitely increase by another level.

Thinking of the great battle that was about to unfold, Gu Liangyuan immediately ordered:

“You personally lead the Elders to Great Abyss and assist the Great Abyss soldiers in getting these Spirit Beasts to recognize their masters.”

Zhao Cang had concerns:

“Sixth-Rank Yao Beasts are already comparable to Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators, so having Sixth-Rank Yao Beasts enter the fray seems inappropriate.”

Gu Liangyuan retorted, “The rules of Fu Long Court only prohibit Cultivators above Core Formation from acting. Did it say anything about not allowing Yao Beasts above Core Formation to act?”

Zhao Cang shook his head: “That wasn’t mentioned, but no one has ever done that before.”

Gu Liangyuan chuckled: “That’s because they haven’t met me. If they had met me earlier, someone would have done it already.”

“The Dao of Beast Taming has existed since ancient times. It’s very reasonable for a Core Formation Realm Disciple to have a Sixth-Rank Yao Beast, isn’t it?”

Zhao Cang was unable to refute: “This… it seems quite reasonable.”

After thinking for a moment, Gu Liangyuan asked an additional question:

“Are you sure that Core Formation Realm Cultivators can only contract up to Sixth-Rank Yao Beasts?”

Zhao Cang nodded: “Not everyone’s Divine Soul strength is as strong as Junior Martial Uncle’s. Core Formation Realm Cultivators have insufficient Divine Soul strength, and forming a contract with a Sixth-Rank Yao Beast is already their limit. If they insist on contracting a Fifth-Rank Yao Beast, they will inevitably be devoured by the Yao Beast.”

Gu Liangyuan nodded slightly: “Then what are you worried about? Go and do it.”

“Yes.”

Leaving Wo Niu Peak, Gu Liangyuan then went to Bù Bài Peak and Xuan Du Peak, instructing Xuan Du Peak to send battle formations to Qianqiu and ordering three thousand Disciples from Bù Bài Peak to provide support.

Returning to Forget-Love Hall, Gu Liangyuan again ordered Lü Qingmei to send the crafted, uniformly styled Earth Rank long spears and eight hundred warships to Qianqiu.

As for Yaochi, Gu Liangyuan continued to implement his original strategy, focusing on defense.

Three days later, all arrangements were complete.

Inside Forget-Love Hall, Gu Liangyuan looked at the Anti-Yuanyuan Alliance list sent by Tianji Peak and let out a faint sneer.

With a wave of his hand, a huge golden light screen hung in the hall.

The Seven Peak Masters and Yang Qiong were all present, and behind them stood a group of Elders.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the light screen in front of them.

What was displayed on the light screen was the scene inside the Dayuan Imperial Palace.

As Gu Liangyuan flicked his finger, the Anti-Yuanyuan Alliance list was projected into the golden light screen.

The next moment, it appeared in Qianqiu’s hand.

Gu Liangyuan turned to the crowd and smiled:

“Everyone, the show is about to begin.”

With that, he sat down in the main seat and watched with everyone.

Smiles also appeared on everyone's faces. Ever since Gu Liangyuan took charge, the days of forbearance for Supreme Sacred Ground were gone forever.

Once upon a time, when facing the provocations of Taiyi Holy Land, they could only try their best to endure.

Now, even Mo Emperor could directly confront them.

Yet, despite constantly making enemies, Tai Shang Sect not only did not suffer a loss in strength but instead grew even stronger.

Most of them did not know the level of danger and calculations involved.

But they knew that all these changes were brought about by Gu Liangyuan.

Inside the Dayuan Imperial Palace, Qianqiu, having received the list, also had killing intent bursting forth from her eyes.

With a single glance, she memorized all these forces.

Looking at the eager Disciples, Qianqiu immediately spoke:

“Wang Fan, Zheng Jian!”

As soon as Qianqiu spoke, Wang Fan of Wo Niu Peak and Zheng Jian of Xuan Du Peak stepped forward in unison:

“Disciple is here!”

“Zheng Jian, you lead two hundred Core Formation Cultivators, eighty warships, and ten thousand elite soldiers to support your Junior Martial Uncle Ao Zhi.”

“Disciple accepts the order!”

“Wang Fan, you lead one hundred Core Formation Cultivators and ten thousand Earth-Cracking Cavalry, and go with Zheng Jian.”

“Disciple accepts the order!”

Finally, Qianqiu instructed again: “Tell your Junior Martial Uncle Ao Zhi not to have any reservations. Kill all the way east, and do not stop until you encounter Great Chu’s sword!”

“Anyone from the Anti-Yuanyuan Alliance, regardless of their identity or whether they surrender or not, shall be executed!”

The two nodded, accepted the order, and withdrew.

At the same time, Qianqiu gave Song Rentou, who was sent by Gu Liangyuan, a look, and Song Rentou immediately understood. He led several Elders and silently followed behind the two to guard them.

If anyone became desperate, they could directly intervene.

After giving her instructions, Qianqiu said:

“Mo Chen!”

Mo Chen stepped forward at the sound of his name.

“You lead two hundred Core Formation Cultivators, one hundred warships, ten thousand elite soldiers, and ten thousand cavalry to support Gou Dezhu.”

“Kill all the way north. There is a Zheng Kingdom in the north, which is a kingdom under our Dao Alliance, and Zheng Kingdom is currently also under siege by the Anti-Yuanyuan Alliance.”

“Zheng Kingdom sought assistance, saying they could only hold out for one more month at most.”

“I want you to reach Zheng Kingdom within one month and relieve their crisis.”

“At that time, merge forces with Zheng Kingdom, proceed eastward, and rendezvous with Junior Brother Ao Zhi.”

Mo Chen nodded: “I obey Senior Sister’s command!”

Then Qianqiu’s gaze turned to Song Xianer:

“Junior Sister Xian'er, you lead two hundred Core Formation Cultivators, three thousand Immortal Soul soldiers, one hundred warships, twenty thousand elite soldiers, and ten thousand cavalry to support Junior Brother Dongfang.”

“Kill all the way west. When you reach the border with Yaochi, turn south, gather the people of the Dao Alliance, and rendezvous with Junior Brother Ao Zhi.”

Song Xianer nodded and accepted the order.

As Qianqiu’s decrees were issued from the Imperial Palace, Great Abyss began to operate again.

Troops from all routes set out, drawing the attention of various factions.

Inside Forget-Love Hall, Tianyi Old Man stroked his beard slightly:

“Dividing the forces into three routes, as long as these three armies converge and gather in Chu Kingdom, Great Abyss will occupy half of the Eastern Continent and be able to contend with Chen Kingdom.”

“Cavalry and warships, one on land and one in the sky, can also deliver all-round strikes.”

“What’s commendable is that she didn’t let anger cloud her judgment, leaving Sixth-Rank Yao Beasts and more than half of the warships untouched.”

“If the situation changes, adjustments can be made at any time.”

“This girl’s plan is fine; the rest depends on whether these three armies can act as desired.”

Listening to Tianyi Old Man’s analysis, the others also nodded in agreement.

Just then, Bai Qing came to visit.

Seeing the situation in the hall, she bowed to Gu Liangyuan, then went forward one by one to greet the Peak Masters and Elders of each peak.

In response, the Peak Masters of each peak greeted her with smiles.

Bai Qing’s presence in Forget-Love Peak wasn’t particularly high, but throughout the entire Supreme Sacred Ground, among the nine direct Disciples of Forget-Love Peak, Bai Qing’s reputation was ironically the most prominent.

This was because ever since Bai Qing took over the finances, the monthly stipends of the entire Supreme Sacred Ground had doubled.

For the Peak Masters, this person before them was a god of wealth.

Especially Yang Qiong, who even started chatting with Bai Qing on the spot.

Afterwards, she occasionally looked at Gu Liangyuan, implying, “When can Bai Qing also manage Yaochi’s finances?”

Gu Liangyuan shook his head slightly; the time was not yet right.

Under Yang Qiong’s regretful gaze, Gu Liangyuan spoke, asking Bai Qing:

“Have you handled everything I entrusted to you?”
