“What is this? Who are you people?” Pan Luming stared wide eyed at the pile of limbs on the floor. His eyes filled with pain, recognizing Pan Yue’er and his family members’ bodies. He coughed strongly in shock.

“What is this? Can you not see?” Gu Lingzhi smiled coldly as she walked out from a dark corner of the room.

“It’s you?” Pan Luming jumped in fright. “Didn’t you die when you dropped into the Endless Sea Realm? How did you manage to come back up?”

As Pan Luo’s servant, Pan Luming had some understanding of the Endless Sea Realm. How could anyone survive it?

“I am sorry to disappoint you.” Rong Yuan walked forward and stood beside Gu Lingzhi. He laughed lightly, “We are back too.”

They could take their revenge now.

Pan Luming squinted to confirm that the two standing in front of him were Gu LIngzhi and Rong Yuan. His shock turned into joy.

“You are back! That is great! The Deity King was just asking where you guys are. I can't believe you sent yourselves to me. If that is the case, I can finally answer to the Deity King.”

Pan Luming clapped his hands happily and ordered guards to enter the room.

However, nothing happened after a few breaths of time. Gu Lingzhi kindly explained, “The men outside have been knocked out by us. You will not be able to call for them.”

Pan Luming jumped in fright, his guards were the top Martial Artists in the North Qiu Kingdom and each of them were Demigods. He had chosen such high level guards for fear that the Alliance would recklessly try to assassinate him. However, he had not imagined that his guards would be silently killed by Rong Yuan and Gu Lingzhi. This was something that even he could not do by himself. What was their cultivation rank?

It was only at this point that Pan Luming realized that he could not tell Gu Lingzhi and Rong Yuan’s cultivation rank.

This could only be explained by two reasons. One was that the pair did not have any spiritual energy and the second reason was that their cultivation rank had exceeded Pan Luming’s cultivation significantly. Pan Luming realized that he was faced with the second reason.

As soon as he thought of this, Pan Luming’s heart clenched and he stealthily attempted to start a Teleportation Spell. If anything went wrong, he would activate the spell to be teleported to a yard a few hundred meters away from the palace.

Pan Luming managed to relax once he was sure of his escape plan and he glared at Gu Lingzhi with hateful eyes.

So what if the two had a higher cultivation rank than him? No matter how strong Gu Lingzhi and Rong Yuan were, they could only be like Lord Fashen, who was only half a step to becoming a True God. Pan Luming had a Sacred Weapon and he was confident of standing his ground against the two!

With that thought, Pan Luming waved a small cauldron that Pan Luo had given him and he threw it towards Gu Lingzhi.

Rong Yuan was highly alert and before Gu Lingzhi reacted, he had already taken action.

The small cauldron was given to Pan Luming by Pan Luo, how could it be destroyed so easily by a single blow from Rong Yuan? The single blow from Rong Yuan stopped the cauldron in its tracks momentarily but it continued on its path towards Gu Lingzhi in the next instant. The closer it flew, the larger it became and it hovered above the two.

“Absorb!” A bright golden light shone from the cauldron and covered the two.

In an instant, a large sucking force pulled the pair off their feets and they flew uncontrollably towards the cauldron. Pan Luming roared with laughter, “Stay in there like good children!”

With the strong gravity force pulling her, Gu Lingzhi frowned slightly. As expected of a Sacred Weapon, it was strong.

However, Pan Luming was not the only one who possessed a Godly Spiritual Weapon.

Gu Lingzhi’s lips curled up into a smirk and wild winds blew around her, howling like a fierce hurricane. Surprise filled Pan Luming’s eyes. After numerous cycles of refining, the Fengwu Sword had become a Godly Spiritual Weapon as well. Gu Lingzhi pierced it at the cauldron.

At the same time, Rong Yuan pierced his Dragon Sword, which was also a Godly Spiritual Weapon, at the cauldron, emitting sounds similar to the ferocious roar of a dragon.

With two loud explosions, the cauldron jerked to a side violently and the gravity force from it decreased. This allowed the two to move with greater ease.

“How could this be? How can you affect the Qian Yuan Cauldron?” Pan Luming yelled angrily. The Qian Yuan Cauldron was his most beloved weapon given to him by Pan Luo. Those who were targeted by it would not be able to escape easily, not to mention affect its gravity force.

Rong Yuan immediately directed the Dragon Sword at Pan Luming as he felt the suction force decrease.

Regardless of how strong a weapon was, if the one controlling it died, it would become useless.

Squinting his eyes, Pan Luming tried to execute an attack on the Dragon Sword. However, Rong Yuan only raised his eyebrows as he aimed the Dragon Sword to pierce through Pan Luming’s elixir field.

Clang! Pan Luming’s sword was easily thrown aside by the Dragon Sword and its blade split into two. The Dragon Sword continued towards Pan Luming and he stared wide eyed as it pierced directly into his spiritual acupoints.

As the sword pierced through Pan Luming’s Elixir Field, Rong Yuan twisted it slightly and completely ruptured apart Pan Luming’s spiritual acupoints.

“You...you guys, the Deity King will not forgive you!”

“Oh? That is only if he knows.” Rong Yuan chuckled and suddenly exerted spiritual energy to destroy the remaining of Pan Luming’s spiritual acupoints before he retrieved his sword.

With his spiritual acupoints destroyed, Pan Luming was a cripple. He would no longer be able to cultivate.

Without spiritual energy to support it, the Qian Yuan Cauldron fell from the sky after a few moments. It became a small palm sized large cauldron in Gu Lingzhi’s hands.

Gu Lingzhi looked at the cauldron carefully and threw it into the Inheritance Space. Pan Luming was also thrown into the Inheritance Space.

“We should get the next highest ranked individual, the King of the North Qiu Kingdom next.” Gu Lingzhi instructed.

The North Qiu Kingdom’s Royal Family was treated like royalty and they did not need to report to the Empire’s main headquarters. As such, every time there were important matters, they would rely on their Communication Conches. Pan Yu was easily found in the palace.

Gu Lingzhi and Rong Yuan did not have to spend much effort to find Pan Yu in his room with a servant lady to entertain him.

Pan Yu was frightened out of his wits when he saw them enter his room. He was at a loss for words when he saw the two people who he thought were dead in front of him.

Rong Yuan placed a protective hand in front of Gu Lingzhi, blocking her from any unsightly sights. Without a word, Rong Yuan released the Qian Yuan Cauldron and Pan Yu obediently obeyed him.

Rong Yuan kicked him twice in disgust. He could not understand how such a greedy wastrel could be Pan Yue’s father.

They had captured the two highest ranked men in North Qiu Kingdom. However, based on the agreement with Pan Yue, the two did not injure Pan Yu. Pan Luming was not protected under the agreement unfortunately.

As such, when the pair returned to the Inheritance Space, they saw the Spirit Tribe members chasing Pan Luming around with a sword.

The swords did not carry any spiritual energy when they wounded Pan Luming and that would not kill him. However, he would run in fright every time he was injured by the sword. Blood pooled around him and dripped all over the area as he ran across it. Gu Lingzhi had to hold in her laughter, Pan Luming was like a skeleton the past few hundred years. But without his spiritual energy, he was so energetic and he ran for his life like a young man in his prime.

Based on the agreement, the Spirit Tribe members had not harmed Pan Yu. Gu Lingzhi’s body flashed and she reappeared in the palace of North Qiu Kingdom. After a look at her surroundings, she and Rong Yuan headed to the headquarters of the Empire.

“As the king of North Qiu Kingdom and the highest ranked leader of the Empire, we will stop all attacks on the Alliance. The Empire will be taken under the Alliance and everyone under the Empire must obey this law.” Under Rong Yuan’s stern watch, Pan Yu declared this, his heart turning cold.

He was not afraid of death and he was not selling out his country but he knew that they no longer stood a chance against the Alliance.

If even Pan Luming was taken down, there was no chance for them to win and they would only be sacrificing more lives if the war continued. Furthermore, he still had a son in the Alliance.

As per the agreement, Gu Lingzhi did not kill all of the Pan Family, and she left them with some resources and land in the North Qiu Kingdom. However, the Pan Family men could no longer become Martial Artists and they became the average person.

Pan Yue had not been happy with this arrangement initially. However, when he saw the huge crowd of Spirit Tribesmen, he agreed to the decision.

Compared to killing off the entire tribe, the Pan Family could minimally be allowed to live although they could not be Martial Artists. ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂

With Pan Luming and Pan Yu personally surrendering, the news of Gu Lingzhi’s reappearance spread like wildfire through the continent. Chaos ensued shortly in the Empire countries.

A few countries remained stubborn and insisted that Pan Yu’s decision only applied to the North Qiu Kingdom and not their individual countries. They refused to surrender.

After so many years of war, almost all the people of the Empire had the blood of the Alliance’s men on their hands. If they surrendered, who knew what the Alliance people would do to them? Besides, the Empire was still strong, how could they give up so easily?

Without the North Qiu Kingdom, they could enjoy more land.

With this thought, some kingdoms made their decision without any more hesitation. Their expression towards Rong Yuan and Gu Lingzhi hid their intentions.

So what if they escaped the Endless Sea Realm together? So what if they were both Demigods? They didn’t believe that with so many people ganged up together, they could not defeat Gu Lingzhi and Rong Yuan.

Ding Wei gave a knowing look at the people around him, instantly sending out a signal. In the next moment, the crowd spread out through the hall and surrounded Gu Lingzhi and Rong Yuan.

Five hundred years of war and cultivation had allowed Ding Wei to become a Demigod as well. With his outstanding abilities, he had been gifted land in the Empire for his war contributions. No one could accuse him of not protecting his own kingdom and he had a newfound status in the Empire.

With power in his hands, why would Ding Wei let it go so easily now? He swore to let Rong Yuan see that before Xia Kingdom’s land became the Empire’s, he would not stop attacking them.
