390: Tongtianxiang

Inside the Gu Mo Imperial Palace, the Mo Emperor sat at the head of the table, radiating an aura of power without needing to express anger.

He was like a completely different person compared to when Gu Liangyuan had slapped him earlier.

Below the main hall, the entire court of civil and military officials had been replaced.

Although Gu Liangyuan's massacre had killed many civil and military officials, the Mo Emperor had also taken the opportunity to promote a large number of his own trusted subordinates.

Unlike before, when his decrees were difficult to implement, the current Ancient Mo could truly be said to be his absolute domain!

Civil and military officials submitted their reports one after another, all of them good news.

Although the Mo Emperor showed no change in expression, his heart was filled with immense excitement.

After the court was reorganized, he immediately implemented new laws.

Now, the benefits of the new laws were becoming apparent.

Although Ancient Mo suffered significant losses in the battle of Fu Long Court.

But at this moment, the Mo Emperor had unprecedented confidence, feeling that it wouldn't take long to make up for these losses!

Eastern Continent, I will return sooner or later!

I wonder when those two Immortals will deal with Gu Liangyuan…

As the Mo Emperor was thinking this, he suddenly received a sound transmission from the Yao Sisters inviting him for a meeting.

The Mo Emperor instantly became excited!

Could it be that the matter was settled!

Gu Liangyuan is dead, Qianqiu is captured!

Good, good, good!

Before, I was hesitant because the Eastern Continent's forces were complex and difficult to deal with.

Now, the Eastern Continent is already unified.

With Gu Liangyuan dead, he only needed to find a way to help someone become the Alliance Leader, and he would be able to unify the Eastern Continent!

“Hahahaha.”

Overjoyed, the Mo Emperor even burst out laughing.

The civil and military officials below looked at him, bewildered.

The Mo Emperor had never been so undignified before, but the humiliation Gu Liangyuan had inflicted upon him had almost become his Heart Demon.

He believed his great revenge was achieved, which was why he was so undignified.

Facing the gazes of the civil and military officials below, the Mo Emperor's smile remained undiminished:

“Today's court session ends here.”

With that, he flicked his sleeve and left the main hall to seek out the Yao Sisters.

If it had been in the past, when noble families held power, the Mo Emperor leaving court midway would certainly have been heavily criticized by censors.

Now, however, no one dared to raise an objection, and they all bowed in unison:

“Respectfully seeing off Your Majesty.”

Soon, the Mo Emperor met the Yao Sisters.

After bowing and greeting them, he eagerly asked:

“Two Immortals, have you succeeded?”

Yao Qin slowly shook her head.

Upon seeing this, the Mo Emperor's heart instantly sank.

Could Gu Liangyuan truly possess such immense power!

Even with Heavenly Immortals descending and personally taking action, they couldn't do anything to Gu Liangyuan!?

The scene of Gu Liangyuan humiliating him that day reappeared in his mind, and a surge of hatred welled up in his chest!

Amidst great joy and sorrow, his spirit trembled, and a Heart Demon subtly began to grow.

But at this moment, Yao Hua's expression shifted slightly.

She waved her hand, and a stream of Immortal Qi entered the Mo Emperor's body.

The parasite also entered the Mo Emperor's body along with this Immortal Qi.

However, the Mo Emperor was completely unaware of all this; with a sweep of the Immortal Qi, his mind calmed down.

He bowed:

“Thank you for your assistance, Immortal.”

…

At the same time, within the Forget-Love Hall, an echo suddenly resounded in Gu Liangyuan's mind:

What are these two Immortals doing? With such cultivation, they can't even deal with Gu Liangyuan!

I wonder what methods Gu Liangyuan possesses that even Immortals are wary of.

Should I ask them the reason for their failure?

But asking such questions, would it anger the two Immortals?

If they get angry, that's one thing, but behind them is the Immortal Court.

If the East Queen Mother gets angry, although she won't abandon Ancient Mo, it would be easy for her to replace the Mo Emperor.

But if I don't ask, I'll be unsure…

Should I ask or not…

Listening to this passage, Gu Liangyuan realized that the parasite in his stomach had been placed inside the Mo Emperor's body.

Good, good, good. From now on, the enemy is in the open, and I am in the shadows. Mo Emperor, you are no longer to be feared!

Inside the Gu Mo Imperial Palace, the Mo Emperor ultimately couldn't hold back. After organizing his words, he cautiously asked the Yao Sisters:

“Two Immortals, I wonder what methods this Gu Liangyuan possesses that make him so difficult for even you?”

Thinking of Gu Liangyuan's plan, Yao Qin said:

“Gu Liangyuan has a True Immortal projection in his possession. Not to mention whether we sisters can stop it, even if we could, we would have to use power beyond the limits of the human realm, and then be forcibly squeezed out of this realm by the will of heaven.”

“At that time, the Queen Mother's mission would not be completed.”

“So, our purpose in coming here this time is to borrow the Kirin Ruler in your possession.”

“The will of heaven targets people, not inanimate objects; the Kirin Ruler will not be squeezed out by the will of heaven.”

“As long as your Kirin Ruler exhausts Gu Liangyuan's trump card, we can easily kill him.”

Upon hearing this, the Mo Emperor was extremely unwilling.

The Kirin Ruler is the strongest trump card bestowed upon my ancestor by the Immortal Emperor, a supreme treasure for saving lives.

Before, there was no other way, so I thought of using this ruler to slay Gu Liangyuan.

But now that you two have arrived, you should be the ones to find a way to solve it!

If I use the ruler at this time, won't I become the scapegoat?

Moreover, if this ruler fails to kill Gu Liangyuan, then I will have no further reliance and can only be at Gu Liangyuan's mercy.

Thinking this in his heart, the Mo Emperor said aloud:

“I can lend this ruler…”

Before he could finish speaking, Yao Qin immediately reached out to take it, but the Mo Emperor skillfully dodged her hand:

“Immortal, please wait a moment, I haven't finished speaking.”

Facing Yao Qin's unfriendly gaze, the Mo Emperor continued:

“Two Immortals, you may not know this, but this Gu Liangyuan is skilled at hiding. I am certain that he has more than just this one trump card.”

“Even if the Immortal uses this ruler, I'm afraid it will be of no avail.”

Seeing the Mo Emperor dodge, a look of disappointment flashed in Yao Qin's eyes.

This was the strategy Gu Liangyuan had told them before they left: if they could trick the Mo Emperor into giving up his ruler, they would directly kill him.

If not, they would find a way to have the Queen Mother send someone else with powerful Magic Treasures to the Lower Realm.

At that time, they would trick him into entering the Underworld ruins, seize his treasure and kill him, or take him for their own use.

Anyway, they couldn't hide it from the Queen Mother, so it was better to proactively ask for help.

If the Queen Mother sent someone, they would be passive, not knowing when this person would descend or how much trouble they would cause, only able to be led by the nose.

But by proactively asking, they would hold the initiative and could plan better.

Yao Qin stared at the Mo Emperor for a long time, until the Mo Emperor's heart was uneasy, and his mind connected to the ruler.

He thought that if Yao Qin were to make a move, he would rather activate the ruler to save his life than hand it over.

Suddenly, Yao Qin sighed softly:

“Very well, very well.”

“Since you are unwilling to hand over the ruler, then burn the Tongtian Incense. I will personally explain the situation to the Queen Mother and ask her to send more help.”

Tongtian Incense was the Mo Emperor's means of communicating with the Immortal Court.

However, this incense was rare; the Immortal Emperor had only bestowed three sticks.

One was used when the Ancient Ink Dynasty was first established, and now only two remained. It was not to be used lightly, unless it was a matter of life and death or a major event occurred.

Although Tongtian Incense was also incredibly precious, compared to the ruler, the Mo Emperor felt this condition was more acceptable.

Therefore, he immediately nodded and agreed.
