Gu Immortal, Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu

"Not only that, some of the peak Gu Masters previously promoted by the Gu Master Alliance have married women and given birth to children. However, these children were taken away by the government, and rumors spread that they were intended to prove that these children did not have the qualifications of Gu Masters."

Everyone was originally exchanging information, but after sharing this incident, Ye Qingshuang's face changed drastically.

"The Empress wants to deceive the world? This plan..." Ye Qingshuang was shocked.

Compared to the idle cargo and faked death of Gu Master, the scam woven by the Gu Master Alliance is the most sinister and vicious.

Under the surface, the Gu Master Alliance seems to aim to maintain the noble status of Gu Masters, so that even if the resources for cultivation are scarce, they can still enjoy extremely high social status and hidden power.

They easily gain the favor of women. With just a flick of their fingers, countless women are willing to pay any price to have a night of pleasure in order to have good offspring.

However, once their lies are exposed, these Gu Masters will undoubtedly be labeled as liars. At that time, they will become rats crossing the street, and everyone will shout and beat them.

If someone could skillfully direct this hatred, the Yan royal family could hide behind the scenes and transfer the people's anger and dissatisfaction to the Gu Master.

At that time, the royal family can even come forward again to play the role of the protector of the common people, deprive the Gu Master Alliance of its glory, and suppress all forces in order to maintain its appearance of justice and righteousness.

After Ye Qingshuang saw through all this, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

"So this is the world in the eyes of the empress!"

Ye Qingshuang seemed to have penetrated the fog in an instant and saw the Tower of Babel standing forever under the light.

“Cousin, what’s wrong with you? The King of Qin wants to cooperate with the Gu Master Alliance to hold a Gu Master Conference in Kyoto. Are you willing to participate?” The young disciples of Huoyun Valley were quite dissatisfied with the excessive openness of the women of Yan State.

In comparison, they are more interested in competition, and this trip also wants to take advantage of Ye Qingshuang's momentum to gain some experience.

"The Gu Master Conference? I'm not interested in it. If you're interested in going, you can take my token. It should have some prestige in Kyoto." Ye Qingshuang shook his head, then hurriedly got up and left. His hasty steps revealed his inner anxiety.

The disciples looked at each other, thinking that Ye Qingshuang was angry that they were not making progress.

After all, as a disciple of an outside force, one should not be greedy for worldly affairs, but the generous rewards of the Gu Master Conference are also an opportunity that cannot be missed.

The same conversation also took place in the Prince of Qin's Mansion, but unlike Ye Qingshuang's anxiety, the Prince of Qin seemed unusually calm.

“King Qin, the Gu Master Alliance is ready to disband. Once the rumors are dispelled, they will scatter throughout the imperial city like fine sand, and no one will be able to track us.” Several aides smiled, their eyes full of complacency.

"If you don't want others to know, then you better not do it. This king doesn't care about the so-called revenge, but I feel sorry for those women who were deceived."

"If you can't become a Gu Master, you will ultimately just be a pawn in the hands of others."

"They only gave up their chastity to get rid of the shackles of fate. They are kind people, but they have been innocently implicated because of us. It is really regrettable."

The staff laughed softly when they heard this: "The King of Qin thinks people are too kind. There is no such thing as getting rewards without paying anything in this world. We can only blame them for dreaming something they shouldn't have. Even if they are not used by us, they will be used by others."

"That's right. We use them to expose the false nobility of Gu Masters and return power to the people..."

"Everything is voluntary, why should the King of Qin worry about it?"

The staff members tried to comfort him. In their view, human nature and emotions were nothing more than cheap chips. In an absolutely rational chess game, using every possible means was the greatest respect for the opponent.

"Pass the order down. In this king's territory, Gu Masters are strictly prohibited from purchasing houses and land. They are prohibited from obtaining high-quality cultivation resources. If they want to marry into a wealthy family, they must pay a tax that satisfies the local government. If anyone dares to cause trouble, they will be suppressed and their cultivation will be abolished."

When the King of Qin said this, the faces of his staff changed, but they immediately accepted the order seriously, feeling a little uneasy.

It seems that some of their strategies caused dissatisfaction among the King of Qin.

Otherwise, the King of Qin would not have to risk the wrath of the world, express his support for the common people, and deliberately suppress the sorcerers who wanted to cheat people.

"King Qin, there is new news from the grassland. The Snow Mountain Alliance intends to engage in trade with the Merchant Alliance. Miss Shang also asked us through Jinyuan Pavilion about the progress of contacting the Nalan family."

Song Zhilan's sister, Song Chunxiao, has retreated to a secondary position in power.

Her status in the Qin Palace was no longer what it used to be, and she even lost the opportunity to discuss state affairs with her staff.

"The Nalan family is waiting for the Empress to make a statement, so there is no point in us being anxious. As for the caravans you sent, just let them support the merchants. I'm afraid the future of the Merchant Alliance will be difficult to achieve."

When King Qin saw Song Chunxiao, his originally calm mood gradually turned into anxiety.

After the dissolution of the Gu Master Alliance, the number of available people in the Qin Palace decreased, and even fewer people could appear in public, which made the Qin Wang think of the Blood Demon Cult behind Song Chunxiao.

The Blood Demon Cult, which could have played a role at this time, was severely damaged by Song Chunxiao's actions. Thinking of this, King Qin felt as if he had suffered a loss and couldn't help feeling a headache.

"I understand. I'll reply right away." Song Chunxiao felt the King of Qin's indifference but still forced a smile.

She has no way to retreat. After Song Zhilan returns, she will definitely break with her, and the forces she supports will also distance themselves from her because of her loyalty to King Qin.

Now, the only one Song Chunxiao can rely on is the King of Qin. If he makes a mistake, all of them will go wrong. Without external help, he will probably be trapped in the abyss of the King of Qin's mansion forever.

"Alas... How could this king not have realized that the Savage Grassland actually had the potential to change the world? My sister is one step ahead of me."

The King of Qin gazed at the beautiful woman's lonely back and couldn't help but sigh, feeling the pressure increasing day by day.

From the moment he revealed his true intentions, he began to lose troops both openly and covertly, and gradually felt overwhelmed.

He even felt a little regretful for letting his staff play evil schemes, which forced the Gu Master Alliance that he had worked so hard to build to disintegrate.

……

Inside the imperial palace, in the Feisheng Pavilion.

The Queen Nine Phoenix knelt on a cushion, the terrifying energy fluctuations emanating from her phoenix crown soaring into the sky.

In the surrounding void, the golden chains seemed to be real, like young dragons, pulling her, as if wanting to go to the other side together and pursue transcendence.

She was wearing a scarlet phoenix gown. Her slender back trembled slightly, causing the pearl hairpins in her black hair to sway. Drops of sweat flowed down her jade-like face like clear spring water.

She is suffering from unspeakable pain. Since ancient times, no one has been able to shoulder the weight of a country's destiny. Even if she is a genius among geniuses, she cannot change the final fate.

"Your Majesty, give up. The destiny of a country should not be driven by others." The old eunuch was extremely anxious, like an ant on a hot pan.

If he had not been unable to contend with the empress, he would have exercised his authority as a master and severely taught this disobedient disciple a lesson.

"Even if I cannot advance, I still want to take a peek into the future and find a chance to change my fate!"

The empress turned a deaf ear to him. A golden flame ignited in her phoenix eyes. The power of her soul left her body. Several golden dragon chains surrounded her for protection. In an instant, she rushed out of the Ascension Pavilion and disappeared into the clear sky...
