Silvermoon City, the number one zither building on this street!
"This is the last Dragon Bone Zither. Master Yun Mo of the Silvermoon Villa personally made it. I won't introduce it since everyone knows its value. Let's start the auction now. The starting price is one hundred high-grade spirit stones!" An auctioneer shouted.
"I bid one hundred high-grade spirit stones!"
"I bid two hundred!"
"I bid two hundred and fifty!"
… … …
… … …
… …
"I bid eight hundred high-grade spirit stones!"
… … …
… … …
"Alright, congratulations to the buyer. Eight hundred high-grade spirit stones and the last Dragon Bone Zither belongs to you!" The auctioneer laughed.
The auction ended.
In a pavilion upstairs, Sima Changkong and Shangguan Hen sat together. They looked at the auction below.
"Thank you, Lord Sima, for your cooperation. I, the emperor, thank you!" Shangguan Hen said Solemnly.
Sima Changkong frowned and looked down. "I just did a little and didn't do anything. During this time, I have been auctioning these dragon bones. What does Gu Hai want to do?"
"The emperor has a purpose for sending a letter here!" Shangguan Hen shook his head and didn't explain.
Sima Changkong still frowned. "These dragon bone instruments belong to the dragons who guarded the Silvermoon Sea in the past. They are also the subordinates of the Lüyang Of Gojoseon. Using the dragon bones to make instruments is an insult to the dragons under the Lüyang Of Gojoseon. Is Gu Hai trying to anger the dragons? Gu Hai is playing with fire! Can he deal with such a risky move? Moreover, even if Gu Hai can hide, what about the Han Dynasty on the Nine-Five Island? How can they hide? "
"The emperor has his own plans!" Shangguan Hen shook his head and didn't explain.
Gengjin Sect headquarters, Hundred Thousand Mountains.
The Gengjin Sect was almost wiped out. There were only a few people who escaped and couldn't do much.
Under Huangfu Chaoge's guidance, the million-strong army immediately saw the scene of the Demon's Den. Some of the Gengjin Sect's disciples who had been subdued earlier confirmed everything.
"Kill them, these devils, kill them!"
"Gengjin Sect, why would my city pledge allegiance to this group of demons?"
"City Lord, my sister died a horrible death!"
…
…
…
The million-strong army was filled with righteous indignation. This horrifying scene had long overturned all recognition of the Gengjin Sect. The former sanctimonious Gengjin Sect Master was actually a demon that ate human brains.
"Pass down my order. Hunt down the remaining disciples of the Gengjin Sect. Regardless of whether they are alive or dead, they will be heavily rewarded. Secondly, spread the news of the evil deeds of this place to every city! Let the people around know about the Devil's actions! "A City Lord immediately shouted.
"From now on, my city has nothing to do with the Gengjin Sect!"
…
…
…
There was no need for Huangfu Chaoge to change the minds of these people.
"Mister Huangfu, the Gengjin Sect has been destroyed. If you have the ability, you should take the eighteen cities they controlled as soon as possible! Otherwise, there will be other forces coming soon! "Gu Hai looked at Huangfu Chaoge.
"That's true. I have to thank Mister Goode this time!" Huangfu Chaoge nodded.
"No need to thank me. They are the minions of Emperor Lü Yang. They all have to die! Your identity has been exposed, so it's best to return to the capital immediately! "Gu Hai said solemnly.
"You're not going back with me?" Huangfu Chaoge frowned and looked at Gu Hai.
"I said before that forcing Lüyang Of Gojoseon to establish a country is the first step. Destroying the Gengjin Sect is the second step. Following that is the third step. I can't stop for even a moment. This time, Ao Shun was scared away, so I have more confidence in the third step! Therefore, I have to make arrangements immediately! "
Huangfu Chaoge sighed slightly and nodded. "I will take half of the Spiritual Stones from the Gengjin Sect to transfer to the Godly Foothill Dynasty. You can keep the other half!"
Giving half of the eight hundred million Superior Grade Spirit Stones to Gu Hai? At this moment, no one could find fault with this.
The Han Dynasty and the Godly Foothill Dynasty worked together to destroy the Gengjin Sect. Gu Hai would provide the troops, and Huangfu Chaoge would provide the funds. Neither could be left out.
"In that case, many thanks!" Gu Hai nodded, not rejecting.
Whoosh!
Just at this moment, a beam of light shot over from the distance. A flying ship instantly arrived.
Everyone's expression changed, but they soon calmed down. The person who came was none other than Venerable Liu Nian.
"I went to Godly Foothill City, but you were not there. I knew you would be here," Venerable Liu Nian said with a sigh.
Venerable Liu Nian turned his head and looked at the one hundred thousand great peaks in ruins. Then, he took a deep breath and looked at Gu Hai and Huangfu Chaoge in shock.
"You are very capable. The Gengjin Sect was destroyed just like that?" Venerable Liu Nian exclaimed in shock.
"It was extremely dangerous!" Gu Hai shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Venerable, were you alone?" Huangfu Chaoge asked, feeling curious.
Venerable Liu Nian nodded and said, "Gu Hai, this is His Holiness's imperial edict for you. Accept it!"
Venerable Liu Nian took out an imperial edict and looked at Gu Hai.
However, at this moment, Gu Hai frowned slightly. Shaking his head, he said, "Many thanks, Venerable. I'd better not accept it."
"Huh? Gu Hai, His Holiness is conferring you the position of Elite Hall's new Hall Master, "Venerable Liu Nian said, feeling confused.
Gu Hai smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Back then, I did not join Elite Hall for the position of an official in the Da Qian Dynasty. Now, it is even more so. Elite Hall's Hall Master? Haha! Never mind. I have my own Han Dynasty. There is no need for me to become an official in the Da Qian Dynasty. Back then, I joined Elite Hall only to repay a favor. Back then, Wan Qing helped me reach the Innate Realm. I joined Elite Hall to thank her. Now that Wan Qing is no longer around, I no longer have any intention of joining Elite Hall. "
Venerable Liu Nian felt slightly stunned. Then, he sighed softly and said, "Mr. Goode, you are lucky to have met Wan Qing. Isn't Wan Qing lucky to have met you as well? However, it is best that you accept this imperial edict. "
"Huh?" Gu Hai frowned as he looked at Venerable Liu Nian.
"You should know about Elite Hall and the Divine Strategy Battalion from back then. They are not officially part of the Qian Heavenly Dynasty. Instead, they are part of the Foreign Affairs Department," Venerable Liu Nian explained.
"What's wrong with the Foreign Affairs Department?"
"The Foreign Affairs Department is not restricted by the imperial court. They can come and go as they please. They only need to handle some of His Holiness's special affairs. When they are outside, they can do their own things. For example, your establishment of a nation is not unheard of in the Foreign Affairs Department. That Shenji Battalion Commander, Li Shenji, might be a member of the Foreign Affairs Department, but he established his own sect. Did you know that?"
Venerable Liu Nian asked. "The Foreign Affairs Department is not restricted?" Gu Hai asked, feeling confused.
"That's right. In other words, it is just like how a 'guest elder' is just an external member. He is only responsible for His Holiness's missions. That is the case for Elite Hall Masters. Being Elite Hall Masters will not affect your Han Dynasty. On the contrary, sometimes, using Elite Hall Masters can help the Han Dynasty become stronger," Venerable Liu Nian explained.
Gu Hai frowned slightly. After some silence, he finally shook his head and said, "There's no need. I know that there are benefits. However, since I am establishing a nation, it is not good to always rely on external help. A nation needs to be strong and independent. "
Huangfu Chaoge looked at Gu Hai in shock. Huangfu Chaoge was also the ruler of a nation. Naturally, she knew how difficult it was to manage a nation. If it were her, she might not be able to resist this temptation. However, Gu Hai …
"Mr. Goode, I think you had best accept it. Hah!" Venerable Liu Nian sighed softly.
"Huh?"
"After all, this is Wan Qing and her daughter's business. If you do not manage Elite Hall, it will end up in the hands of others. Do you want others to manage Wan Qing and her daughter's Elite Hall?" Venerable Liu Nian advised.
"Huh?"
"Secondly, you promised Wan Qing that you would take care of her younger sister, Long Wanyu. You do not have Elite Hall status. You have difficulty even meeting her. How are you going to protect her? "
Gu Hai frowned and pondered this.
After a long silence, Gu Hai nodded and said, "Alright, then. I'll temporarily take over the position of Elite Hall Master."
Gu Hai received the imperial edict.
Venerable Liu Nian took out a purple authority token and said, "Wan Qing's Elite Hall Master authority token was destroyed. His Holiness gave her another one. This is the Elite Hall Master authority token. It is not the same as a Marquis."
Gu Hai gently received it.
Boom!
Suddenly, a golden energy appeared out of nowhere and enveloped Gu Hai.
"This is providence? What vast Providence? "Gu Hai's expression changed.
This amount of providence was actually more than half of the Providence that Xiao Chen obtained from the Gengmetal Sect.
The providence circulated in Gu Hai's body and immediately poured into the purple Elite Hall authority token. With the authority token by Xiao Chen's side, he could transfer this portion of Providence at any time.
"Originally, Wan Qing was prepared to bring you to the capital and hand the invitation letter to His Holiness for him to read. Then, His Holiness would seal it before bestowing you with Providence. However, this time, His Holiness personally issued an imperial edict to you, eliminating this process. This is the Providence of an Elite Hall Master. Every ten years, a batch is bestowed. This is the first batch," Venerable Liu Nian explained.
Gu Hai looked at the authority token. It had the words "Rank One" on the front and "Gu Hai" on the back. It was very similar to the Water Division Master authority token. It came with a small space, just ten times larger than the Water Division Master authority token. A large portion of Providence was hidden in this small space and could be transferred at any time.
Gu Hai nodded.
"By the way, Gu Hai, perhaps you should be more careful. Long Wanyu is not very friendly to you. She might think that you caused Wan Qing's death. You have to be careful," Venerable Liu Nian said with a bitter smile.
"Long Wanyu? Where is she now? "Gu Hai asked, feeling bewildered.
"Her? His Holiness did not allow her to come out, but she kept making a fuss. In the end, His Holiness had no choice but to send people to protect her. He only sent her to the Jinmu Of Silla's camp to be protected by the Jinmu Of Silla. She is rather safe now. After issuing the imperial edict, I will immediately return to take care of her, "Venerable Liu Nian said with a bitter smile.
"Venerable, I will have to trouble you to take care of Long Wanyu," Gu Hai said Solemnly.
"I will. By the way, where are Mu Chenfeng and those treemen?" Venerable Liu Nian asked, feeling puzzled.
"Mu Chenfeng? I sent her to do something. This time, whether we can kill Ao Shun or not will depend on Mu Chenfeng's results, "Gu Hai said seriously.
At the side, Huangfu Chaoge raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "The third step? Your third step is to kill Ao Shun? "
"Ao Shun is an expert of the Heavenly Palace!" Venerable Liu Nian's expression changed as well.
"I know. Alright, I have to take my leave as well. Speed is important in war; we cannot delay!" Gu Hai shook his head and said goodbye to everyone.
After exchanging a few more words, Huangfu Chaoge assigned three subordinates to Gu Hai. Then, Gu Hai steered the White Cloud flying ship, carrying four hundred million Superior Grade Spirit Stones and a large number of Gengmetal Sect secret manuals to the northeast.
