Chapter 1021: The Competition in Front of the Imperial Palace Square
"Brother, during last year's leapfrog challenge, I felt that I was sure to enter the top ten of the leapfrog challenger. Unexpectedly, a group of demons came out halfway. Although the top ten were not selected in the end, everyone with a discerning eye knows that even if it is true,
Selected based on merit, they must be those from the demon clan."
"Erlong, you are right. Even if the leapfrog challenger was not selected last year, people would not have any objections because those demons have such strength, but this year is different. This happened at the beginning of the challenge.
It’s not certain whether it can continue.”
Liu Dalong and Liu Erlong came again this year. Last year, they did not leave. They chose the Ding family's quiet room for retreat. On the first day after leaving retreat, the two brothers wanted to go on stage to challenge, but who knew that they would encounter such a thing.
Millions of people retreated hundreds of miles away. They did not dare to get too close, otherwise the trace of aura that Gu Yue naturally revealed would make them shudder.
Those who were not very talented, even though they were so far apart, their divine bodies were still trembling, but they still did not leave. The grace of the Emperor of Heaven and the Quasi-Emperor was rare to see, and even if they died after just one look, they felt it was worth it.
"Brother, what is Emperor Gu Yue doing! Why do I look so weird?"
Many people thought Gu Yue's actions were very strange, but Liu Erlong spoke up about this question.
"Erlong, he is collecting the remnant soul of Ding Zhicheng. I estimate that Emperor Guyue wants to resurrect Ding Zhicheng. After all, he is also his nephew. He can ignore others, but Ding Zhicheng must control it."
"What? Brother, are you saying that he wants to resurrect Ding Zhicheng? In my impression, he must have the Pill of Life. However, Lone Moon Star only has one Shangguan Yaozu. Besides, it is unclear whether he has the Pill of Life in his hand.
Definitely."
"Whatever Emperor Gu Yue wants to do, he will definitely be able to do. Don't forget, he is a powerful Emperor of Heaven, so resurrecting a person shouldn't be a problem."
The cultivation levels of Ding Zhicheng and Gou Sheng were so different that with Gou Sheng's blow, almost all of their souls were scattered, and even if there were any residual souls left, there wouldn't be many.
Gu Yue was suspended in the air for nearly an hour. Finally, she retracted her left hand that was grabbing at the air, closed the lid of the jade bottle, and turned to look at Gou Runtian, who was ten thousand meters away.
"Gou Runtian, this bottle contains part of Ding Zhicheng's remnant soul. I will hand him over to you now. You immediately go to Tianyuan Star, find Shangguan Yaozu and ask for the Pill of Life, resurrect him as soon as possible, and then send him to the Emperor Star.
The Emperor is waiting for you in the Imperial Palace."
After Gu Yue finished speaking, she shook her hand, and the jade bottle in her hand flew towards Gou Runtian. He grabbed it in his hand and threw it into the storage ring.
Gu Yue ignored Gou Runtian, turned to look at Ding Mao, who looked aggrieved, and said in a deep voice: "Ding Mao, from now on, there will be no life-or-death duel in Ding Mao City's leapfrog challenge. If you don't listen to me,
The emperor's words will definitely lead to severe punishment."
Gu Yue had just finished speaking, but before Ding Mao could reply, the space where he was was distorted. In an instant, the figure disappeared, and Gu Yue was gone.
Gou Runtian squinted his eyes and looked at Ding Mao, who was tens of thousands of meters away. His teeth chattered loudly. After a moment, he turned around and flew behind him, quickly arriving at Gou Sheng's side.
"Gou Sheng, how do you feel now? Is there any discomfort in your divine body? If necessary, find a retreat first. It is not urgent to go to Tianyuan Star."
Although Gu Yue has already given him an order, the county magistrate is not as good as taking charge now. Gu Yue is not here and he can go whenever he wants. Although Ding Mao opposite is very anxious, he does not dare to say anything at this time.
"Dad, I have reached the early stage of the ninth level of the Emperor. There seems to be something foreign in my soul. It may be the restriction left by the emperor, which makes me feel very unfree."
"Let's go back to Goulan Star now and let those soldiers go back. We don't have to bring so many soldiers to Tianyuan Star."
This was Gou Runtian's deliberate excuse. Now that he and Ding Mao were at odds with each other, it was impossible for him to be so willing to resurrect Ding Mao's son.
Gu Yue appeared very timely. If he arrived at Dingmao City a little later, Ding Zhicheng's soul fragments would probably be blown away by the wind. If that happened, no matter how hard he tried, there would be no hope of resurrecting his nephew.
"What a good Gou Runtian. He knows clearly that the Ding family in Dingmao City is my relative, but he dares to kill them. He doesn't even take me seriously. If it weren't for the fact that he is a quasi-emperor, he will still be used in the future.
By then, I would have slapped him to death."
Gou Runtian raised his legs and stepped into the void. Thinking of this incident, his heart felt blocked. With his cultivation level, he could really slap Gou Runtian to death with one palm, but he couldn't do that. As the Lord of the Star Territory, he still had to endure it.
Thinking of this, he felt very angry.
The space on the throne of Guyue Imperial Palace fluctuated, and Guyue's figure suddenly appeared on the throne. He was originally here to discuss matters with his subordinates. After he suddenly disappeared, the subordinates in the hall were deeply surprised.
Over the past few days, Gu Yue had been feeling a little uneasy, always feeling that something was going to happen. After a quick calculation, he realized that something was going to happen to his sister's family.
Seeing him appear on the emperor's throne again, everyone looked over secretly and saw Gu Yue's gloomy face, obviously still angry.
"Emperor, if something happened, please don't keep it in your heart. There are so many people in the hall, and they can give you some advice."
Tian Ji is nothing now. Even the nominal deputy marshal was dismissed by Gu Yue, and he is still very angry in his heart.
It's just that he has no choice now. He is the agent of the Tian family. If the ancestor of the Tian family doesn't say anything, he can't resign and return to the family. Now he just works as a monk and beats the clock. It's not outdated now that he takes the initiative to express his concern for the emperor.
It's just a show.
Gu Yue reached out and patted the armrest of the throne, raised her eyes weakly, stared at Tian Ji standing below, and sighed softly.
"Tian Ji, it's rare that you still have the heart to ask. I suddenly remembered Fan Digang. Only after people leave can you understand the value of it. So be it! You don't have a specific position yet, so you can temporarily serve as the commander of the Emperor Star! Responsible for the command.
All the armies of the Emperor Star."
"Thank you, Emperor!"
Tian Ji hurriedly bowed and thanked, Gu Yue nodded, and then said: "Shan Renjie, from now on, you will serve as the deputy commander of the Emperor Star! Assist Tian Ji in managing the daily military affairs of the Emperor Star."
After Gou Runtian became the marshal, many of his cronies were moved to the imperial palace, while most of Fan Digang's former die-hard followers were pushed elsewhere.
After re-appointing Tian Ji and Shan Renjie to their posts, Gu Yue looked down at the many ministers standing below. Among these people were many of Fan Digang's confidants, and he had to find a way to replace them.
The people standing before His Highness were all scheming people, even Gou Runtian's best friends. The first time Gu Yue looked at them, she immediately understood that there was something wrong with their backers.
"Let's all disperse! Without my summons, there is no need to come here to discuss matters anymore. If you want to leave the Emperor Star for something, just remember to come back within a hundred years."
As soon as Gu Yue finished speaking, the divine body sitting on the throne suddenly faded and disappeared quickly. Seeing that there was no restraint, everyone in the Highness left the palace in a swarm.
"Who among these people is Gou Runtian's confidant? This emperor must screen them. Even the people I personally appoint may not be very reliable now."
Lone Yue sat cross-legged in her own quiet room, her spiritual consciousness passing through the barriers and instantly enveloped the entire Emperor Star.
In less than a day, nearly 30% of his thousands of subordinates left. The departure of these people was all under the close observation of Gu Yue.
"Oh! Gou Runtian's connections are pretty good! A thousand people left so quickly. It's obvious that they left in the direction of Gou Lanxing. It seems that they went to get information."
After confirming that these people were Gou Runtian's confidants, Gu Yue slowly closed her eyes. He decided to retreat as soon as possible. Now he was on the sixth level of the Emperor of Heaven. Both the Heavenly Sword and the Emperor's Sword were also at this level. As long as he broke through one more level,
At this level, he will have the upper hand in the game between the three of them. Even without Gou Runtian's assistance, he will not be afraid of the Heavenly Sword and the Emperor's Sword.
Gou Lanxing was very lively during this period, and big figures of the emperor's level kept coming. These people came with apprehension. After seeing Gou Runtian, they couldn't wait to ask questions.
"Although the commander-in-chief is a quasi-emperor, he is still a long way from being an emperor. Now that he has killed his nephew, it would be strange for you not to hold grudges."
"I am now hoping that the marshal will break through to the Emperor of Heaven as soon as possible. When that time comes, I will follow the marshal openly and openly. There is no need to be as sneaky as I am now."
"That's right! I don't want to follow Fan Digang's old path. When all my relatives die because of Gu Yue, it will be too late to regret it."
More than a thousand people were sitting in the Gou family's meeting hall, talking about major events in the Lone Moon Star Territory. Gou Runtian sat on the throne without saying a word, quietly listening to their discussion.
"Everyone, it is useless to say this now. After all, the Emperor is the Lord of the Star Territory. Without the Emperor, the Lone Moon Star Territory will no longer exist. At the moment, you should still try your best to assist the Emperor. Today, our enemies are the other two major
Star Territory must not engage in internal divisions anymore. I have nothing to do here. You should go back to the Emperor Star as soon as possible! Don’t make the Emperor suspicious."
When Gou Runtian said these words, he was still abiding by the agreement he had made with Gu Yue. Only by uniting with Gu Yue could he be sure to eliminate the Heavenly Sword Star Territory after he broke through to the Emperor of Heaven.
Gou Runtian thought very far, but all this was based on the premise that he would become the master of the Heavenly Sword Star Territory. At that time, he would not hesitate to fall out with Gu Yue.
"Dad, these friends of yours have also left. When will we go to Tianyuan Star? If Dad is not in a hurry, I will go into seclusion to repair the injuries left by the emperor."
Seeing that the main hall was empty, Gou Sheng immediately asked the question he was most concerned about. He wanted to retreat immediately, but he didn't want to embarrass his father.
