At last, commotion began to rise.
“Silence!”Wang Luo Jing’s authoritative reprimand resounded, her voice, though not loud, swept across the entire scene like a wave.
In these recent decades, the name of Quasi Sacred Maiden Jing had increasingly grown prominent among the Sacred Gu Clan, now even more widely celebrated by countless civilians, naturally wielding her formidable authority.
Instantly, the scene fell quiet, even those with ulterior motives and intending to stir up trouble temporarily ceased their agitation, fearing being exposed and dragged out.
“Since Daqian and the Wang family have aided our Sacred Gu Clan, it has not even been forty years,” Wang Luo Jing spoke with a commanding demeanor, her voice reaching out in all directions, “the lives of our people in the Sacred Gu Clan have undergone earth-shattering changes. Our total population has grown from barely ten million to eighteen million, most of the increase being among the youth and children.”
“Which family’s elders, now need to ‘bury insects’ to save food? Who among our homes still go hungry or cold? The disputes between clans have also lessened. Everyone, ask yourselves, how much has life changed compared to the past?”
“Some say Daqian is of a different kind, harboring evil intentions towards the Sacred Gu Clan. However, investigations and research by the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty have long since proven that all nations and tribes on this earth, whether advanced or primitive, are descendants of the Divine Martial, and there are no other races.”
“Our people of the Sacred Gu Clan, the Daqian People, even those from South Qin, West Jin, or those from the Immortal Dynasty, share no differences in physical makeup. The blood flowing in our veins is the same — it is the blood of the Divine Martial Dynasty.”
Wang Luo Jing’s words also gained the recognition of many, especially among the young people in the crowd. Accustomed to their current lives, how could they possibly wish to return to the past?
Moreover, having witnessed the prosperity and strength of Daqian, their awe towards Daqian made them unwilling to go to war with it.
“Saintess Jing, Saintess Jing!”
Wang Luo Jing’s followers began to chant slogans, supporting Saintess Jing’s succession.
Elder Chan then jumped in, “Why not enrich and develop together, moving towards a bright future together? If anyone harbors ill intentions, wanting to destroy the Sacred Gu Clan’s fortune, they are my enemy, Elder Chan’s enemy!”
“And they would also be my enemy, Elder Qi.”
One by one, Gu Elders stood out to declare their stance.
The two factions seemed to reach a deadlock. For a time, many who were neutral did not know how to choose.
Almost simultaneously.
Dozens of li outside the Gu God Tribe, within a dense forest.
A three-hundred-strong team hidden in the forest. Their breaths were subdued and sustained, merging seamlessly with the forest. This elite team’s armor and weapons, though standard issue, had all reached the level of Medium Grade Magical Weapons.
Array Flags fluttered in the wind, stirring waves of invisible energy, gradually enveloping the forest in a mist, isolating it from God Sense and other probing methods.
They were the renowned Marshal’s Bodyguard Regiment.
This Bodyguard Regiment was highly revered, with the minimum entry requirement being the early stages of the Heavenly Human Realm, with as many as three Realm Cultivators from the Purple Abode Realm, and several core members in the Mid-Late stages of the Heavenly Human Realm.
Thus, even though they numbered only three hundred, they constituted a tremendously formidable force.
Not only were they tasked with safeguarding the safety of the Grand Marshal, preventing enemy decapitation tactics but also responsible for spearheading assaults during critical moments.
They were different from typical Profound Martial cultivators. Born from the Military System, not only were their loyalties reliable, but they also excelled in military array combat. Their collective combat capabilities far surpassed those of cultivators from Prominent Families.
In the outer realm battlefield, the name of Daqian Marshal’s Personal Guard Brigade was exceedingly renowned; it had once served as a siege force, successfully trapping and killing several Demon cultivators from the Divine Powers Realm, establishing a significant reputation.
In front of this troop.
Marshal Xiao Limo stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his silhouette amidst the chilling winds carried a tinge of melancholy.
A distance away.
Prince De Xin and Luo Yuqing were negotiating with a member of the Barbarian Gu Clan, his skin covered in tattoos.
“Wabak, when you ambushed the Wang family and fled back here, you voluntarily offered to infiltrate back into the Barbarian Gu Clan to accumulate power, planning to collaborate with me from inside and outside, that much is correct. But why didn’t you send me any news about the drastic changes occurring within the Barbarian Gu Clan?” Prince De Xin’s face soured slightly, “Could it be that you have betrayed me?”
“Your Highness, all my actions within the Sacred Gu Clan were extremely cautious, primarily focusing on remaining hidden and gradually accumulating power; I obviously couldn’t act recklessly,” Wabak retorted with some annoyance, “I also did not expect that you, Your Highness, would lose control over such obvious intelligence.”
“Now, I’m beginning to doubt whether Your Highness is still capable of controlling the situation. Don’t get my hard-won allies killed in the process. Back then, it was also your faulty intelligence that severely underestimated the Wang family’s strength, leading to my failed ambush and nearly getting me killed by the Wang family!”
Facing Wabak’s accusations and anger, Prince De Xin couldn’t help feeling his face burn with embarrassment as he fiercely glared at Luo Yuqing. Dawn and Luo Yuqing, they were indeed becoming more and more unreliable.
“Your Highness,” Luo Yuqing also spoke discontentedly, “I am a person of the Immortal Dynasty, and I gave up everything to assist Kang Commandery Prince. Frankly speaking, the failure of the Emperor’s son’s struggle for power hardly had anything to do with what Dawn needed to be responsible for.”
“Now we are as despised as rats crossing the street, making it extremely difficult to gather intelligence. If you think Yuqing isn’t up to it, how about dismissing me? I can go back to the Immortal Dynasty right now.”
She had a strong implication, “If you think I’m incompetent, then handle it yourself.”
A wave of anger surged in Prince De Xin’s heart.
It truly was “a dragon in shallow waters is bullied by shrimp”. In the past, who would dare not listen to him? Yet now, even Wabak and Luo Yuqing dared to speak to him like this. However, at the moment, what power could he muster?
He had no choice but to soothe Wabak and Luo Yuqing, his voice becoming much softer, “I understand that our situation is quite tricky right now, but after this ordeal, we will turn the tide. I only have one question, Wabak, can you and the power you have accumulated control the gates of the Gu God Tribe and stabilize the internal situation?”
“I can. After all, my influence from back then remains, and some of my old brothers also disapprove of Saintess Dai’s style,” Wabak solemnly responded, “Especially Elder Ga, he has been waiting for my return.”
“Good, as long as you can control the gates and the situation, we can win this time,” Prince De Xin said excitedly, “Emperor Zi’an only has two Divine Powers Realm Guards beside him, plus a group of young fellows; they are no match for our military forces.”
“Wabak, Yuqing, don’t be anxious. After our success, you will definitely get what you want.”
Prince De Xin spoke with utter certainty, yet internally, he noted, you two hedging at the critical moment, I will remember this.
“Thank you, Your Highness,” Wabak and Luo Yuqing bowed together.
For a moment, a fiery zeal shone in Prince De Xin’s eyes.
The moment had arrived; the game was set to decide the outcome, everyone!
