A show of strength?
With Marquis Tian Ding's presence, things became much easier. The head of the Mu Clan, Mu Chen's father, instantly understood when he saw Marquis Tian Ding following behind Gu Xuan with trepidation.
The Mu Clan was only a small clan. When Gu Xuan first arrived, the Mu Clan did not have the right to welcome him. However, through Marquis Tianding's performance, he could confirm that this young man was the new ruler of Tongtian Royal City.
As for Mu Ling's father, he almost fainted from excitement when he heard that his woman was acquainted with Gu Xuan. As for the head of the Mu Clan, he could only accept it helplessly. With Gu Xuan's support, it was impossible for him to continue controlling the Mu Clan.
After settling the matters of the Mu Clan, Gu Xuan left Tianming City. Marquis Tianding sent Gu Xuan all the way out of Tianming City. After seeing Gu Xuan leave on his crane, he let out a long sigh of relief.
While rejoicing, he was also very envious of Gu Xuan. This was a real big shot. Every word and action of his made them speculate. A single word from him could determine the rise and fall of a clan. He would never be able to reach this level in his lifetime.
…
"Sun Ling."
Standing on the Cloud Splitting Crane, Gu Xuan shouted indifferently.
"Yes, sir!" Sun Ling quickly replied. He walked to Gu Xuan's side and bowed.
"My father and second grandfather should be breaking through to the Supremacy Realm in a few days. When we return to the palace, you can tell the second prince directly. They should be given a Marquis title."
Gu Xuan smiled. His father and second grandfather had always relied on him to break through to the Supremacy Realm for the clan to prosper. He did not expect that before he broke through, the two of them had already reached the Supremacy Realm.
Gu Xuan already had a King City and 13 County Cities. He didn't really care about the so-called fief. However, these County Cities were only under his control. Every County Cities had a Marquis that Gu Xuan couldn't appoint or remove. Even if someone angered him and Gu Xuan killed them, the Great Desolate Dynasty would still send a Paragon to be the Marquis.
After breaking through to the Supremacy Realm, they would naturally be given a County City. The two of them could enjoy being a Marquis.
"Yes! Although according to the rules, breaking through to the Venerable level requires an examination before being conferred a title, I believe that His Highness the Second Prince will still agree to Master's request. "
Sun Ling replied respectfully. His heart was filled with awe. Normally, pills used to break through to the Monarch level were forbidden pills. It would take a few months to forcefully break through. If one kept trying to break through, it would destroy one's foundation. In the future, one would only be a 1-star Monarch and would not be able to make any progress. They would be at the bottom of the Monarch level.
But Gu Xuan actually said that Gu Sen and the others would break through in a few days. A few days was almost the same time as breaking through to the Revered Realm. He had never heard of a pill with such an effect, even from the Second Prince.
After returning to the Tongtian Royal City, Sun Ling immediately steered the Cloud-piercing Crane towards the Holy City. Conferring titles was no small matter. Although the Second Prince would definitely agree to it, it would still take some time. After all, it was not easy to vacate two counties near the Zhenshan County City. By the time everything was over, it would take a few days.
Gu Xuan returned to the Blood God's Pool to cultivate. After absorbing for half a day, he would use the rest of the time to practice martial arts. Through the use of martial arts, he would assimilate and digest what he had absorbed.
Although there was a huge amount of resources to help, breaking through to the Venerable level was not that easy. Gu Xuan could only take it slowly.
Three days later, Gu Sen and Gu Tian Mo broke through to the Venerable level, causing a huge uproar in the Tongtian Royal City.
Seven days later, the Great Desolate Dynasty conferred titles. Gu Sen was conferred the title of Marquis of the Eastern Serene County City. Gu Tian Mo was conferred the title of Marquis of the Spirit Fall County City.
Although these two counties were not directly connected to the Tongtian Royal City, they were both close to the second level of the Tongtian Royal City. Moreover, they were connected to each other. It was the best choice. Although it was later than Gu Xuan had estimated, he was still quite satisfied.
After receiving the news, Gu Tian Mo and Gu Sen were overjoyed. They began to prepare for their fiefdoms. Becoming a Marquis was something that they did not even dare to think about before.
These two counties were also under the jurisdiction of the Tongtian Royal City. Therefore, Gu Xuan's territory had increased from thirteen counties to fifteen counties. Among all the Marquises, he was considered to be at the top.
… …
"Now, I have nothing to worry about." Gu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief on the main seat of the King's Mansion.
Today, Sun Ling had used the Cloud Piercing Crane to send the two of them to their respective fiefdoms. As long as the two of them settled down in their fiefdoms, their positions as Marquises would be considered complete.
During this trip, everything that needed to be dealt with had been completed. All that was left was to cultivate wholeheartedly.
"Master."
Sun Ling walked into Gu Xuan's room and respectfully bowed.
"Have the arrangements for you been completed? My father and second grandfather should have been conferred in their respective counties, right? "Gu Xuan glanced at Sun Ling and said with a smile.
A trace of hesitation appeared on Sun Ling's face. He lowered his head and finally said, "Master, the two old masters have returned to the King's Mansion."
"What?" Gu Xuan's face darkened. He stood up from his seat and frowned.
The conferment of the Great Desolate Dynasty required one to go to the fiefdom in order to be considered complete. For example, when Gu Xuan returned to the Tongtian Royal City, all the factions had to pay their respects and welcome the new ruler.
After that, the conferred person could move around freely. However, he had to stay in his fiefdom for a few days after the conferment to allow the various factions under his jurisdiction to adapt.
Gu Sen and Gu Tian Mo had just been conferred in the morning. Now that they had returned in the afternoon, it was obvious that something had happened.
Gu Xuan's face was a little ugly. He said faintly, "You were with them. Tell me what happened. Don't tell me that you don't know."
"This …"
Sun Ling gritted his teeth and lifted the shirt on his arm. On his tanned skin, there were two bloody words, "Sky Tyrant", carved out by a sword.
"It's the Sky Tyrant Lord's men. These two counties were originally reserved by the Sky Tyrant Lord's two subordinates. In order to take care of Master, the Second Prince took these two counties from the Sky Tyrant Lord, so …"
"So the Sky Tyrant Lord arranged for his subordinates to do this to put me in my place?" Gu Xuan sneered. There was a trace of coldness in his eyes.
