Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 405 - 231 Youbai Wants to Play Too!

Chapter 405 -231 Youbai Wants to Play Too!

[Northern Territory Imperial City]

During this period, the Emperor of the Northern Territory had contacted the Wu Jiang Saint multiple times.

“Strange…”

“It seemed that this Saint Heir previously had intentions against that Young Master Gu.”

“Why has there been no movement these past few days?”

The Emperor of the Northern Territory held the Communication Jade Token, frowning tightly, a sense of unease lurking in his heart.

A few days ago, the ninth Saint Heir had inquired about Young Master Gu’s movements.

He clearly had the intention to make a move.

Even the Emperor of the Northern Territory had expressed that as long as the Saint Heir required, the Imperial Family could dispatch one Ninth Grade and two Eighth Grades to assist!

“Could it be that he feels there’s no need for my Imperial Family’s help?”

“But if he were to take action, there should have been news by now.”

The Emperor of the Northern Territory shook his head, realizing that, for now, that young man was ultimately of low realm, and he hadn’t even gone to the Central State to be formally accepted into a sect.

How could he possibly be a match for that Saint Heir?

If the Saint Heir eliminated him, he could continue to securely hold the throne!

No one could shake his position, and without him, the Gu Family would naturally lose the support of the Sword Sect.

His goal to unify the empire could still be realized!

Now, unable to contact the Saint, he could only put away the Communication Jade Token and quietly wait for news.

Unfortunately…

He would never receive that news.

While he was dreaming of possibilities, the Wu Jiang Saint had already died outside Duanbei City.

As for the Gu Changge he feared, he was also already aboard Sage Zhao’s Flying Boat, having arrived before the gates of the Heavenly Cold Sect!

The Flying Boat was small but very impressive, radiating dozens or even hundreds of different Array fluctuations.

Defensive Arrays, Attack Arrays, and even Spirit Gathering Arrays – it had them all.

Sensing the arrival of the foreign Flying Boat from the Northern Territory, several Heavenly Gate Realm Elders from the Heavenly Cold Sect also appeared at the gate at once.

Even Wan Shan Taoist, who had ended his cultivation immediately, hurried to appear.

“Respects to the predecessors from the Sword Sect!”

Wan Shan Taoist had met those two Sages of the Sword Sect at a banquet held by the Gu Family.

Seeing them appear, he hurriedly bowed in respect.

“Respects to the predecessors!”

The other Elders followed suit, bowing respectfully.

Sage Realm experts, in the Northern Territory, were at the Ancestor level.

Just these two could likely flatten their Heavenly Cold Sect!

Wan Shan Taoist knew that the sect had a Sage Realm Saintess, but he didn’t know how many there were; at most, there were two, or possibly only the one he had seen before.

Extending respect to such experts of the Ninth Grade and above was never considered excessive.

“Why not pay respects to the Sword Sect’s Saint Heir?”

Jian Chen stood one on each side behind Gu Changge, like protectors.

Hearing them pay respects to themselves without showing any expression, he instead asked somewhat displeasedly.

“This…”

“Respects to Saint Gu!”

Wan Shan Taoist was startled, his expression a bit awkward. freёnovelkiss.com

This Gu Changge was indeed the Young Master Gu, and by all rights, he should be the one receiving respects. Moreover, Gu was also his disciple’s husband, who should also pay him respect…

But the power balance was crucial.

Despite feeling awkward, the identity of the Sword Sect’s Saint forced him to also bow to Gu Changge.

The Elders of the Heavenly Cold Sect, seeing this, followed suit and bowed: “Respects to the Saint.”

The Sixth Elder’s gaze towards Gu Changge was complex.

Originally, he had accompanied Liu Qingqing to the Gu Family, back when this young man had not even started his cultivation.

Judging his physique, even among mortals, he was considered frail and unlikely to live to a hundred.

But now, just two short years later.

The other party had transformed, achieving Sixth Grade Refinement Void Realm Perfection, a realm not considered low in the Northern Territory.

In the three great powers, the Sixth Grade Refinement Void Realm was considered a strong support, and outside these powers, many families’ strongest might only be in the Seventh or Eighth Grade!

By the Eighth Grade, there was almost no room for advancement.

Those in the Northern Territory reaching Ninth Grade were few and far between!

Thinking back to his initial disdain, thinking Gu unworthy of Liu Qingqing.

The Sixth Elder felt his face burning.

Utterly embarrassed.

If not for Liu Qingqing’s steadfast heart, he would have been a great sinner, even to the extent of becoming a sinner of the Heavenly Cold Sect!

“He has reached the Sixth Grade Refinement Void Realm…”

“How could there be such a genius in this world, Junior Sister Liu is truly fortunate.”

Among the many curious disciples of the Heavenly Cold Sect who gathered, Zhu Qin watched the figure protected by the two Sages with complex eyes.

“Esteemed predecessors need not be overly courteous.”

“Why do I not see my wife, is she in closed-door cultivation?”

Gu Changge, seeing this, smiled and returned the greeting with a bow, scanning the crowd and casually asking.

“Indeed in closed-door cultivation, it’s been some days.”

“But calculating the time, it should not be too long, probably just three to five days before she emerges.”

Wan Shan Taoist, seeing his modest reciprocation, eased his expression slightly and answered his question.

The disciples of the Heavenly Cold Sect, seeing this, couldn’t help but inwardly praise Young Master Gu’s humility.

Questioning themselves, if they were in his position, they might be extremely arrogant!

Having two Sage Realm Ancestors at his side as guardians, where in the Northern Territory couldn’t he walk with his head held high?

Not to mention the identity of the Sword Sect’s Saint…

Even so, he was still very polite and courteous to everyone, truly rare.

“The Young Master is indeed good-natured.”

Jian Chen, witnessing this scene, felt much more reassured about their future.

Among those considered prodigies, there were many with proud natures; even helping them might not be remembered and could instead be thought of as deserved.
