388: Go and invite the Holy Lord of Yao Chi quickly!

Gu Liangyuan helped Zhang Huanzhen up: “Grandmaster, you really…”

Before Gu Liangyuan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Huanzhen: “What Grandmaster, just call me Old Zhang.”

Tian Chanzi’s face darkened at the words.

I’m Little Tian, and you’re Old Zhang?

You’re a Half-step Loose Immortal, where do you get such nerve!

“Cough, cough.”

Gu Liangyuan lightly coughed twice: “Old Zhang, Old Tian.”

The two nodded in response.

Thus, their addresses were settled.

“Old Zhang, about your son that I mentioned to you before…”

Zhang Huanzhen bowed: “I will follow whatever the Cult Master arranges, I have no objections.”

Gu Liangyuan nodded with satisfaction: “Alright, this matter is entrusted to you. When you reach Great Zhou, the Jun Family will help you.”

Zhang Huanzhen already knew about the relationship between Gu Liangyuan and the Jun Family, but he didn’t expect the Jun Family to support Gu Liangyuan so much.

Although the Immortal Court didn’t care who was in power, only that they could work for them.

However, the Zhou Emperor had managed Great Zhou for many years; once discovered, the Jun Family would find it difficult to escape.

But from another perspective, wasn’t this also the Jun Family’s recognition of Gu Liangyuan?

Thinking of the background Gu Liangyuan had just mentioned, Zhang Huanzhen felt that the Jun Family truly had good foresight.

All sorts of thoughts flashed by, and Zhang Huanzhen replied: “With the Jun Family’s support, my confidence has increased by several points.”

Gu Liangyuan nodded.

After thinking for a moment, he added: “After the matter is concluded, Zhang Tianci certainly won’t be able to be the Zhou Emperor, but I can grant him an Immortal position.”

Zhang Huanzhen was overjoyed and once again expressed his loyalty.

Zhang Huanzhen was a decisive person. After speaking, he immediately headed towards Great Zhou.

Watching Zhang Huanzhen leave, Gu Liangyuan looked at Tian Chanzi again: “Speak, what is it?”

Gu Liangyuan knew that Tian Chanzi would not easily emerge from seclusion unless there was a reason.

As soon as he arrived, Tian Chanzi emerged from seclusion right after, so there must be a reason.

Tian Chanzi said: “It’s nothing major, it’s just that a few days ago, someone from Ancient Mo came to find me, wanting me to join Ancient Mo.”

“Seeing that I didn’t agree, he offered me benefits, promising me an Immortal Court official position, allowing me to Ascend and leave Tai Shang.”

Gu Liangyuan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he listened to Tian Chanzi’s description.

To deal with Tai Shang, the Mo Emperor truly wasn’t idle for a moment.

Didn’t I just slap you a few times? Is it really necessary to hold such a grudge?

Where is your imperial demeanor?

Where is your magnanimity?

Of course, if this happened to me, consider what I said unsaid.

“Alright, I understand this matter.”

“How did he get in touch with you?”

Tian Chanzi answered truthfully: “He used Puppet Arts to control a Disciple to enter the Enlightenment Tower.”

“Hmm, you should rest well. I’ll handle these matters.”

“Hmm.” Tian Chanzi nodded, his figure slowly disappearing.

Gu Liangyuan knew that even if Tian Chanzi’s loyalty was only twenty or thirty percent, let alone almost full, Tian Chanzi would not listen to Ancient Mo.

After all, the reason he didn’t Ascend was to avoid his enemies in the Immortal Realm.

Making him Ascend would be taking his life, wouldn’t it?

However, the Mo Emperor’s actions made him very displeased.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Liangyuan took a step and arrived at Wuji Peak.

Inside the main hall of Wuji Peak, Lü Qingmei sat at the head seat.

The Elder below was reporting the latest situation: “Reporting to the Sect Master, 98% of the forces in the Eastern Continent have now joined the Dao Alliance.”

“The remaining ones are all small forces. It’s only a matter of time before these forces either perish or join the Dao Alliance as time progresses.”

Lü Qingmei nodded: “You’ve done well in this matter.”

“After all, we didn’t rise step by step. This step is very big and rushed, so it’s normal not to be perfect. Just let them be.”

The other Elders also nodded, expressing deep agreement.

Another Elder reported: “The matter of the divine positions that the Cult Master mentioned before has had minimal effect.”

“The main reason is that during the Fu Long Court, several major battles were earth-shattering. For Cultivators, it was nothing, but for the common people, it was practically the end of the world.”

“Therefore, the common people’s impression of Cultivators is more of fear and panic. To make them accept the concept of gods, it will probably take some time of peaceful days.”

Lü Qingmei frowned slightly, let out a soft “Hmm,” and didn’t say much more.

Another Elder reported: “The first batch of Disciples selected by the various Sects are already on their way to the Tai Shang Sect.”

“Originally, they were somewhat reluctant, but upon hearing that the Cult Master had personally transformed the Supreme Sacred Ground, they had no more complaints.”

“These Disciples who come for further study will certainly hold high positions when they return. Although the more Disciples who come for further study, the more stable the position of our Tai Shang Sect and Supreme Jade Pool.”

“I imagine that in just a few generations, they will only recognize Tai Shang and Supreme Jade Pool, and not their Sects.”

Finally, this Elder sincerely sighed: “This move of the Cult Master is truly venomous, killing without drawing blood.”

Gu Liangyuan, who had just entered, happened to hear all of this.

Slander!

This is slander!

I, Gu Liangyuan, opened the Holy Land Legacy to these Sect Disciples, and the Cultivation resources are treated equally.

How can this be called killing without drawing blood? This is clearly moving them with love!

Lü Qingmei spoke at this moment: “Elder Wang, how can you think of the Cult Master that way? He is clearly demonstrating great, selfless love. In the future, do not speak such words that are detrimental to unity.”

Elder Wang quickly reacted and repeatedly agreed.

“Sit down.”

“Elder Zhou, how are the matters I assigned to you progressing?”

Elder Zhou stood up: “Reporting to the Sect Master, after you assigned the tasks last time, I immediately convened all the Elders for questioning.”

“Regarding the matter of becoming an official in Great Abyss, those Elders with stronger talent who felt they still had room for improvement were not very interested.”

“However, some of those Elders who knew they could not advance further did sign up.”

“A portion of them had an indifferent attitude; since it was difficult to Breakthrough anyway, it didn’t matter where they went.”

“For them, going to manage a shop and becoming an official was no different.”

“There was also a portion of people who were unwilling to admit defeat and wanted to see if they could advance further by relying on the Luck of Great Abyss.”

“However, Great Abyss is vast, and these people alone are not enough.”

Lü Qingmei listened quietly, then analyzed: “The Cult Master once said that everyone in the world scrambles for profit. The reason these people are unwilling to go is because they feel that once they arrive, they will only be minor officials, and the Luck they can enjoy will be limited.”

“Furthermore, after becoming an official, there are many restrictions, and the effort and reward do not match, which is why they are unwilling to go.”

“Later, you should set an example. Find a universally recognized good-for-nothing and support him all the way to above a third-rank Immortal Official.”

“At that time, with the third-rank Luck, his cultivation will greatly increase, which will certainly ignite passion in others and draw them to Great Abyss.”

Everyone suddenly understood: “Sect Master is brilliant!”

Lü Qingmei smiled lightly and accepted it calmly.

Just as she was about to say something more, she suddenly felt herself being embraced from behind by someone.

However, when her Divine Sense swept, she found no one.

Her expression changed for a moment, but upon sensing the familiar aura, she relaxed.

“Alright, that’s all for today. If there’s anything else, we’ll discuss it tomorrow.”

Although everyone was puzzled as to why the discussion ended so abruptly without being finished, since Lü Qingmei had spoken, no one asked further, and they all bade farewell and left.

After everyone had left, Lü Qingmei let out a soft hmph, then naturally leaned into Gu Liangyuan’s embrace, speaking with a mix of feigned anger and coquetry: “You’ve been back for so long and didn’t even come to find me. I think that Lin Furen (Lady Lin) must have sucked all your Yang Qi dry.”

As she spoke, Lü Qingmei’s hand began to wander mischievously.

Bang!

The main door slammed shut, and the grand formation activated.

“Sucked dry? I’ll show you whether it’s sucked dry or not!”

…

Seven days later, Lü Qingmei stumbled out of the main hall, her face filled with terror, and urgently spoke to the Disciple standing by the door: “Quickly go to the Supreme Jade Pool and invite Sacred Lord of Yaochi Yang Qiong!”

“Quick!”

As soon as Lü Qingmei finished speaking, Gu Liangyuan’s voice came: “Still trying to call for reinforcements?”

“Where do you think you’re running to!”
