358: Meet Wang Dalong

“Tell me, why did the East Queen Mother send you here?”

With their lives in Gu Liangyuan’s hands, the two women, though feeling somewhat apologetic to the Queen Mother, dared not conceal anything. They recounted how the Queen Mother had sent them to the Lower Realm and how she intended to capture Qianqiu and bring her back.

Gu Liangyuan’s eyes narrowed as he listened.

It was Liu Ruyan again!

Although this time, Liu Ruyan had once again performed consistently, bringing him two Heavenly Immortal Realm maids.

However, her scheme against Qianqiu had touched Gu Liangyuan’s reverse scale.

Gu Liangyuan made up his mind: if he had the chance to go to the Immortal Realm, the first person he would kill would be Liu Ruyan!

After thinking for a moment, Gu Liangyuan asked again:

“Given the East Queen Mother’s nature, how long do you think it will be before she sends more people if you two don’t return?”

The two women thought for a moment, then said in unison:

“Two years.”

After nodding, Gu Liangyuan flicked his sleeve and left:

“Follow me.”

The two women were originally Immortal maids, and now their Master had merely changed from the East Queen Mother to Gu Liangyuan.

They quickly adapted to their roles, with Gu Liangyuan and Qianqiu walking ahead and them following behind.

Qianqiu, who had been silent beside them, listened to the conversation between Gu Liangyuan and the two women, her heart filled with uncontainable shock and admiration for her Master.

This was the first time she had heard news about the Immortal Realm.

Immortals descended to the Lower Realm, yet her Master effortlessly subdued them.

Master was indeed still that unfathomable Master.

Qianqiu had thought she had seen through her Master, but now she realized she had only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg.

Immediately, she couldn't help but feel fortunate.

Fortunate that she and Song Xianer had teamed up to set up such a scheme.

Otherwise, as Master grew more powerful, she would have absolutely no chance of reversing their positions.

It’s not too late, everything is still not too late.

Just as Gu Liangyuan was about to speed up with Qianqiu to quickly reach the Immortal Tomb, he suddenly detected a battle eight hundred li ahead.

Gu Liangyuan initially didn't want to get involved, but then he suddenly detected a somewhat familiar Aura.

Closing his eyes to recall, Gu Liangyuan finally remembered why it felt familiar.

This person was none other than Wang Dalong, the Pavilion Master who had gifted him a Magic Treasure when he bought a Puppet at the Gathering Treasure Pavilion back then!

“To control the Gathering Treasure Pavilion, this person might be an entry point.”

Gu Liangyuan also recalled his Tianguan Blessing, feeling that this reward was truly extraordinary.

He had been thinking of taking over the Gathering Treasure Pavilion, and he encountered the right person just by walking.

When luck strikes, it’s unstoppable.

Thinking this, Gu Liangyuan’s figure flickered, and he arrived at the battle location.

Wang Dalong’s cultivation had improved slightly since before, reaching the Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.

He was being attacked by three Soul Transformation Realm cultivators. Although Wang Dalong had an endless array of Magic Treasures, there was still a gap in cultivation levels.

The three formed a triangular formation, gradually closing in on Wang Dalong, intending to trap him alive.

At this moment, Wang Dalong was already severely injured and his Spiritual Qi was depleted.

One of the Soul Transformation cultivators spoke:

“Wang Dalong, don’t blame us. It’s because you know too much…”

Before he could finish, he looked behind Wang Dalong and his pupils suddenly constricted:

“Gu…” Before he could finish his sentence, he, along with the other two Soul Transformation cultivators, directly turned into ashes.

At this moment, Wang Dalong had his eyes tightly shut, already quietly awaiting death.

Hearing the man’s voice abruptly stop, he slowly opened his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw the scene of the three men turning into ashes.

He abruptly turned his head and saw Gu Liangyuan’s figure.

Wang Dalong immediately understood that Gu Liangyuan had saved him.

With a thud, Wang Dalong knelt down, tears streaming from his eyes amidst his great sorrow and joy:

“Thank you, Alliance Leader, for saving my life! From now on, my life, Wang Dalong’s life, is yours!”

“If you tell me to go east, I will never go west.

If you tell me to catch a dog, I will never chase a chicken.

If you say four, five, six, I will never say five, six, seven.

If you tell me to hit a deaf person, I will never kick a blind person.”

Wang Dalong, having been a branch pavilion Master for so many years, was certainly not foolish.

He knew that there was no such thing as unprovoked kindness in this world. He didn’t think that Gu Liangyuan would save him based solely on the previous act of gifting a treasure.

After much thought, Gu Liangyuan’s only interest was him as a person.

He was useful to Gu Liangyuan!

That’s why he instantly pledged his loyalty.

Gu Liangyuan looked at the seventy loyalty points above Wang Dalong’s head, flicked his sleeve, and a gentle wave of Law power swept over Wang Dalong, instantly healing his injuries and replenishing the dry Spiritual Qi in his Dantian:

“You are a smart person; you know why I saved you.”

“Three hundred li to the east from here, there’s a patrol led by the Grand Elder of Law Enforcement. You can return to Forget-Love Peak with them. I’ll have something to ask you later.”

Wang Dalong took the jade pendant with both hands and performed a kneeling bow:

“I will obey the Alliance Leader’s words.”

After the bow, he looked up, only to find that Gu Liangyuan’s figure was no longer there.

Wang Dalong tightly gripped the jade pendant given by Gu Liangyuan and looked distantly in a certain direction:

“Zhou Wu Zheng! Just you wait, I will avenge my wife’s death today sooner or later!”

After uttering that harsh remark, Wang Dalong headed straight in the direction Gu Liangyuan had indicated.

Feeling the flowing clouds constantly passing by him, Wang Dalong recalled how terrified he had been of Gu Liangyuan that day.

After Gu Liangyuan left, he had even spoken a lot of ill of Gu Liangyuan.

Yet, he never expected to be saved by Gu Liangyuan today.

It was destiny!

Wang Dalong reminisced about his past business career and suddenly realized that the Spirit Treasure he had given to Gu Liangyuan that day was the most correct investment he had ever made in his life!

Gu Liangyuan was unaware of Wang Dalong’s thoughts.

At this moment, Gu Liangyuan had already brought Qianqiu and the others to the entrance of the Immortal Tomb.

The appearance of this Immortal Tomb was different from what Gu Liangyuan had imagined; it lacked the majestic Aura he envisioned, being merely a small grave mound in a field.

A stone tablet stood upon the grave mound, inscribed with: “Peng Immortal Tomb”

This place was also Peng Immortal City.

The Yao Sisters behind Gu Liangyuan curiously watched Gu Liangyuan’s back.

At this moment, their hearts were anxious. Although they had pledged allegiance to Gu Liangyuan as their Master, they knew little about him.

They only knew from Mo Emperor’s mouth that Gu Liangyuan was a bloodthirsty and cruel person.

Having grown up in the imperial harem, they deeply understood the principle of ‘accompanying a ruler is like accompanying a tiger’.

They feared that any carelessness might displease Gu Liangyuan and lead to their punishment.

After all, they had been maids for too long. Although their loyalty was not yet absolute, they still subconsciously performed their duties.

They were curious why Gu Liangyuan would stop at what appeared to be an ordinary grave mound.

At this moment, a golden light flashed in Gu Liangyuan’s eyes, allowing him to see through the tomb.

He discovered that the grave mound was merely a disguise; the key lay in the tablet.

Within this tablet, another space existed!

“Let’s go!”

Gu Liangyuan said, pulling Qianqiu towards the tombstone.

As Gu Liangyuan activated his Space Law, a teleportation array suddenly appeared on the tombstone.

The Yao Sisters exchanged glances, both seeing the surprise in each other’s eyes.

As Heavenly Immortals, they hadn't detected any abnormalities.

Yet, Gu Liangyuan had seen through it at a glance. He was indeed a peerless Prodigy who had comprehended five Daos.

From the current situation, the stronger Gu Liangyuan became, the more beneficial it would be for them.

They closely followed Gu Liangyuan into the teleportation array, and their loyalty increased by another two points.
