Chapter 340: Chapter 248: Astonishing Reward
“What is it?”
Gu Yang looked at the person before him and asked indifferently.
Gu Yi bowed and said, “Reporting to Your Majesty, the Hidden Guard has already gathered news about Prince Yun!”
“Speak!”
Gu Yang’s expression changed suddenly, and he asked urgently.
It had been several years since Gu Xiu left the Nine States, and two years ago, Gu Qingfeng had asked the court to look for Gu Xiu’s whereabouts.
At first, Gu Yang did not care too much, rely thinking that Gu Xiu had left ho for a while and that Gu Qingfeng missed him.
However, as the Hidden Guard delved deeper without any trace of Gu Xiu, Gu Yang realized things were not so simple.
After all, these past years, the Divine Martial Dynasty seed to be peacefully isolated, without any intention to ddle with the Ancient Desolate World, but secretly, the Divine Martial Dynasty had already sent many people deep into the Eastern Domain to establish an intelligence network.
To investigate one person’s whereabouts and find not even a trace was impossible.
Now that there was news about Gu Xiu, Gu Yang certainly could not be indifferent.
Gu Yi said, “Years ago, Prince Yun once appeared in Emperor Extre Mountain in the Southern Domain, which was the forr site of the Emperor Extre Sacred Land. After the decline of the Emperor Extre Sacred Land, it was annihilated by nurous forces.
Not long after Prince Yun’s appearance on Emperor Extre Mountain, he was besieged by other cultivators, suspected of possessing the legacy of Emperor Extre Great Saint.”
“Two years ago, a great battle erupted outside Heavenly Star City. Prince Yun was encircled by several Daoist Palace Realm experts, and later it was said that the remnant soul of the Emperor Extre Great Saint manifested, using Prince Yun’s body to escape.”
“Not long after, Prince Yun entered an Ancient Transfer Array and then vanished without a trace!”
As Gu Yi’s words fell, a terrifying killing intent enveloped the entire Imperial Study Room; Gu Yang’s face was authoritative and his expression icy, with a chilling intention to kill in his eyes.
“Is it clear which forces took action against Prince Yun?”
“Countless forces have acted against Prince Yun, but the leaders were from the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land, the Zhou Family of the Southern Domain, and the Wang Family of the Southern Domain, among others.
Here is all the intelligence on these forces, for Your Majesty’s perusal!”
Gu Yi presented all the well-organized intelligence reports before Gu Yang.
The latter examined them for a long ti, his face growing increasingly detached.
“The Ancient Desolate Sacred Land… Zhou Family of the Southern Domain!”
“Humph, do they really think they can bully the people of the Divine Martial Dynasty!”
Among the hundreds of forces involved in the encirclent of Gu Yang, there were certainly major forces with Dao Palace Realm experts in residence, such as the Zhou Family and the Wang Family, which both belonged to the Saint Families.
And more notably,
Unlike the Shangguan Family, which only produced a single Saint,
Both the Zhou Family and the Wang Family had seen several Saints erge over the years.
As for the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land,
It was an ancient force that had existed for a full six hundred thousand years.
A hundred thousand years ago,
The Ancient Desolate Sacred Land produced an invincible Saint King who swept across the Southern Domain, and its prestige reached its peak.
But after the Saint King’s demise, the strength of the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land plumted.
Nevertheless,
A starving cal is still larger than a horse.
The profound heritage of the today’s Ancient Desolate Sacred Land was not to be underestimated.
After all, it has only been a re hundred thousand years since the Saint King passed away, and its heritage had not been wholly exhausted. Furthermore, over the subsequent hundred thousand years, the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land had continuously produced several Saints.
Ten thousand years ago,
The Ancient Desolate Sacred Land also had a top-notch existence who stepped into the half-step Great Saint Realm.
If that half-step Great Saint could have attained the Great Saint Realm, he would have restored the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land to its forr glory. Alas, he failed to break through in the end.
…
“The Ancient Desolate Sacred Land!”
“This force is indeed not to be underestimated—”
Gu Yang’s expression was solemn. Compared to the depth of the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land, the current Divine Martial Dynasty was far behind.
The difference between the two lay in the accumulation of ti.
With a history of six hundred thousand years, the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land produced many powerful beings, each contributing to the heritage of the Holy Land.
Over the long passage of ti, the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land had naturally beco exceedingly formidable.
In truth,
There were many such existences like the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land throughout the Ancient Desolate World.
So forces had even existed for over a million years, with unfathomably deep roots, nearly immovable.
Furthermore—
What most concerned Gu Yang was the remnant soul of the Emperor Extre Great Saint.
He did not know whether Gu Xiu had been possessed; if indeed he had, the consequences would be severe.
Originally,
Gu Yang wanted to inform Gu Qingfeng imdiately, but considering the latter was presently in seclusion, evidently attempting to break through to a higher realm, he suppressed the urge.
More importantly, now that Gu Xiu’s whereabouts were unknown, telling him would change nothing.
“Command the Hidden Guard to search fully for Prince Yun’s whereabouts; any news must be reported to imdiately. Moreover, my father is in seclusion; make sure the Hidden Guard does not disturb him!”
Gu Yang ordered in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Gu Yi naturally bowed and accepted the order.
Subsequently,
Gu Yang announced his own seclusion. As for matters in court, unless there was an ergency, they would be temporarily handled by the various ministers. If there were truly a difficult decision, he would then co forward to resolve it.
—
The vast Divine Martial Dynasty now seed to have returned to calm.
The monarch in seclusion,
The court operating in an orderly fashion.
The Heavenly Patrol Guard patrolled the Nine States, with any cultivator violating the laws of the court being directly suppressed.
Worth ntioning was that
The current commander of the Heavenly Patrol Guard, a prodigy from Nanyue Mountain, broke through the Great Grandmaster Realm’s barrier in just a few years with the help of the court’s resources and advanced to beco a Divine Transformation cultivator.
