Chapter 2310 A strong man breaks his wrist
Qingzong.

The main ancestral hall.

Jiang Mo came to report.

"Master, the unrest in Qingcheng has been quelled, but I have one thing to report to you."

"explain."

Shen Changqing's expression remained unchanged.

Jiang Mo said: "Qingcheng is in turmoil. I have seen a ninth-level Divine Master fall into darkness and become a puppet. This matter is not simple, so I came to report it!"

"The ninth-level Divine Master has fallen into darkness and turned into a puppet!"

Shen Changqing didn't say anything, but Duan Jing and other sect elders' faces changed.

They knew very well what this change meant.

Shen Changqing's expression was calm: "The power of darkness has skyrocketed, and it is normal for the ninth-level God Lord to fall into a puppet. If the situation continues to deteriorate, even the God Lord will not be able to escape!"

The sudden surge in dark power is bound to greatly increase the strength of the dark camp.

this matter.

No one can change it.

The reason is simple.

As the power of darkness surges, more and more cultivators will fall into darkness. If their own cultivation is insufficient and their will is weak, their minds will collapse and they will become puppets who only know how to kill.

in contrast.

If you have accepted the dark power long ago and become a believer of the Lord of Darkness, you will not be troubled by such problems.

and so.

There are only two paths before the Netherworld Monk.

Either you surrender to the Dark Lord first and avoid becoming a puppet in the future, or you continue to resist until one day you can no longer resist and become a puppet of killing or a believer of darkness.

In general.

The longer you delay, the more disadvantageous it will be.

After all, no one can guarantee when the next dark force will surge again.

and so.

This time, the changes in dark forces are destined to greatly increase the strength of the dark camp.

In Shen Changqing's opinion, the Netherworld camp probably doesn't have many ways to deal with it.

Although the chaotic situation may not be a bad thing for themselves, it would not be good news if the Netherworld camp was defeated too quickly.

But things have come to this point, and Shen Changqing is no longer able to intervene.

for the rest of the time.

Shen Changqing was in seclusion in the sect, concentrating all his energy on comprehending the rules of the great Dao, hoping to break through to the third level of great power as soon as possible.

Also.

A group of powerful men from the Qing Sect, led by Duan Jing, directly led the disciples of the Qing Sect to various places to assist the subordinate forces in suppressing the dark turmoil.

Of course.

Suppressing the dark unrest is not free.

After all, although Qingzong is protecting these forces, it does not mean that it will help them suppress the dark turmoil for free. Each force has to pay a certain price for this.

However, compared to being able to suppress the dark turmoil and stabilize the situation, paying a small price is completely worth it for these forces.

But even though the Qing Sect acted quickly, many forces were destroyed in the dark turmoil, and the peace of the vast ancient wilderness was completely broken.

……

Gu family.

Now there is still a lot of work to be done.

The power of darkness surged, and there was also considerable chaos within the Gu family. Almost half of the family members were corrupted by the power of darkness and turned into puppets who only knew how to kill.

In order to suppress these dark puppets and the dark believers hiding in the dark, the Gu family paid a huge price. Many strong people died. Even the head of the Gu family, Gu He, was seriously injured and died.

Before Gu He's death, Gu Qingyang happened to return to the Gu family to help the family suppress the dark turmoil, so Gu He entrusted him to become the next head of the Gu family before his death.

In this regard.

No one in the Gu family had any objection.

After all, not to mention that Gu Qingyang is the young master of the Gu family and is qualified to become the next head of the Gu family, the fact that he has reached the third level of Divine Lord at such a young age shows that his talent is unrivaled among his contemporaries.

With both status and strength, it was natural for Gu Qingyang to become the head of the Gu family.

now.

In the lobby of Gu's family.

Gu Qingyang sat in the main seat, and below him were a group of Gu family senior executives.

"Qingyang is still young and this is his first time taking on such an important task. He still needs a lot of help from the elders!"

"You are too polite, Patriarch!"

"It is our duty to serve the family—"

All the senior members of the Gu family responded hurriedly.

Although they are much older than Gu Qingyang, their cultivation is not necessarily stronger than Gu Qingyang, so they naturally would not do anything to take advantage of their age.

not to mention.

Gu Qingyang is already at the third level of Divine Lord at such a young age, so it is almost certain that he will become a Divine Sovereign in the future.

This one is here.

The Gu family has the hope of becoming an ancient family.

Now that Gu Qingyang has taken over as the head of the family, the family morale has been boosted to a great extent. Otherwise, the follow-up impact brought about by this dark turmoil alone may cause the Gu family to be doomed.

Looking at the awe-filled expressions of the crowd, Gu Qingyang did not continue to say any polite words.

“The Gu family has a lot of work to do. Many middle and senior executives have passed away, leaving the family empty. So next, I would like to trouble you to hand over all the vacancies and candidate lists to me, and then I will make the final decision.

In addition, although the dark turmoil has subsided, there may still be dark believers lurking in the family, so it is necessary to intensify the investigation within the family.

If we find any dark believers, we will kill them on the spot, and we will not show any mercy!"

As soon as these words came out.

There was also murderous intent in Gu Qingyang's eyes.

He was also sad about Gu He's death, but he controlled it very well and didn't show it openly.

Even if those dark believers were once close friends and relatives, once they surrender to the Lord of Darkness, they will no longer be the same as before.

and so.

Gu Qingyang will not show mercy to these dark believers.

Many senior members of the Gu family also nodded and accepted the order.

"We will obey the orders of the Patriarch!"

“The Gu family is just a microcosm of the current dark turmoil. The situation in Ancient Wasteland and beyond will only be worse. If the Gu family wants to protect itself in this turmoil, it must improve its strength as much as possible.

Many unnecessary businesses of the family were sold off if possible, and some things that were not needed for cultivation were also exchanged for cultivation resources or Netherworld Spirit Stones. "

Gu Qingyang's words made many Gu family cultivators change their expressions slightly.

An elder from the Gu family hesitated and said, "It's not easy to run a family business. If we sell it all off, it will be detrimental to the family's development in the long run."

After these words were spoken, many senior members of the Gu family nodded.

In their view, abandoning the family business is no different from killing the goose that lays the eggs.

It was because Gu Qingyang's current status was extraordinary that they spoke to him so politely. If someone else had made such a suggestion, they would have been criticized to pieces.

Gu Qingyang said: "The situation is different now. The Gu family's businesses are too dispersed. If the situation was stable in the past, having many businesses would have been an advantage.

But now, having too many industries is not a good thing, especially since the family has just experienced a dark turmoil and many of its strong men have suffered heavy losses. If it wants to disperse its strength to take care of these industries, it will be difficult to take care of both ends.

In addition, the current situation in Ancient Wilderness is unstable, so even if the Gu family has the support of the Qing Sect, it may not be truly safe.

Therefore, rather than keeping most of the industry in hand and making it useless, it is better to sell it all so as to reduce the family's strength and ensure the family's development.

Special measures are needed for special times. If we use peacetime measures to deal with the current catastrophe, there will always be some flaws!"

Gu Qingyang's words made the Gu family's top leaders who had originally opposed it look stunned, and then they willingly submitted.

"The master has a far-sighted vision, and we admire him!"

They originally thought that Gu Qingyang was young and would be lacking in handling family affairs, but now it seems that their worries were completely unnecessary.

Gu Qingyang's vision in handling these matters is quite unique, and he can see at a glance the problems that the Gu family is facing now.

There are few fools among those who can serve as senior executives of the Gu family.

Gu Qingyang made it so clear, so they naturally knew the pros and cons.

indeed.

The biggest problem of the Gu family is that their businesses are too dispersed.

Normally this problem is not too serious, but at a time like this the seriousness of this problem will be infinitely magnified.

Abandon the property.

It is equivalent to cutting off one's own arm.

For the Gu family right now, this is the best approach.

As Gu Qingyang's order was passed down, the Gu family executed it quickly.

Just as Gu Qingyang said, the situation in the entire ancient wilderness is now in chaos. Many forces have also realized this problem and are scrambling to abandon many industries just in exchange for truly useful resources.

Unfortunately.

When there are more forces selling off an industry, the price in the market will be pushed down again and again, and eventually it will be only 50% of its usual value.

The Gu family was not greatly affected because they were the first to sell off their properties.

After seeing the situation in Guhuang, the people of the Gu family admired Gu Qingyang even more.

If it weren't for this person's decisive actions, who went against all odds and sold off many of the Gu family's assets, it would not be so easy for the Gu family to sell them off now.

but.

There was a happy atmosphere in the Gu family, but Gu Qingyang was not as relaxed as others.

As an inner sect disciple of the Qing Sect, Gu Qingyang became increasingly aware of how serious the current situation was. After all, the Gu family was a small family, and whether it could survive the catastrophe was always a question.

"Unfortunately, my current strength is still too weak to change too many things. I can only take it one step at a time!"

Gu Qingyang sighed secretly and stopped thinking about these things.

Next.

Gu Qingyang dealt with the Gu family affairs again, and then asked the senior elders to help handle family affairs, while he returned to Qingzong to report.

After all, although Gu Qingyang is the head of the Gu family, he always has another identity.

This identity.

He is a disciple of Qing Sect.

Return to Qingzong.

The first thing Gu Qingyang did was to meet Shen Changqing, and then told him everything that had happened in the Gu family during this period, as well as some of his own decisions.

After hearing what Gu Qingyang said, Shen Changqing seemed to have reacquainted himself with the registered disciple in front of him, and there was a hint of approval in his eyes.

"I underestimated you a little bit. I didn't expect that you handled these things so well."
