The Corpse Gu tribe harbors the deepest hatred for the Great Feng and is also the tribe most willing to form an alliance with Yunzhou.
Since the Corpse Gu tribe has not yet made a move, Luan Yu and the others, who originally planned to take action, have not acted rashly.
Li Chang'an used the Prajna Seal to smash Ge Wenxuan's primordial spirit directly out of his body.
A phantom figure of Ge Wenxuan floated above Ge Wenxuan's physical body, imprisoned by a phantom pagoda that suddenly appeared.
"Who goes there? Let me go!"
"My master will not let you go!"
"My leaders, save me! Save me!"
Ge Wenxuan's primordial spirit wailed in extreme pain, as if it were being cruelly tortured.
The illusory pagoda gradually shrank, and countless sharp beams of light pierced through Ge Wenxuan's soul.
The sorcerer's cultivation also lies in the primordial spirit. Although the primordial spirit of a fifth-grade sorcerer is far inferior to that of Li Chang'an, it is still stronger than that of the Gu clan leaders present.
These Gu clan leaders couldn't help but shift their feet and retreat in unison.
"This is a primordial spirit technique... a second-grade Daoist method?"
"Indeed, this is not the ability of martial artists or sorcerers; it must be the Daoist sect..."
"Second-rank Taoist... Hiss!"
Granny Tian Gu smiled without saying a word, showing no intention of rescuing Ge Wenxuan.
As Ge Wenxuan's soul gradually faded, he saw a tall figure descend from the sky and land in front of him in his final moments.
The man looked young, and Ge Wenxuan had seen his portrait before, so he recognized him at a glance.
"Li Chang'an!"
"Great Fengtian King Li Chang'an, you actually... came in person!"
Upon hearing Li Chang'an's name, Granny Tian Gu was moved, while Clan Chief Long Tu and Clan Chief Chun Yan looked solemn.
The other tribal leaders remained unmoved, and even seemed somewhat bewildered.
It wasn't that Li Chang'an wasn't famous enough, but rather that their information was too limited.
The Heart Gu Tribe has the best information network, but even they haven't had any news for the past year or so.
Chief Luan Yu of the Love Gu tribe suddenly pursed her full red lips and swallowed exaggeratedly, seemingly tempted.
The person in front of me looks so young, yet he's already at the peak of the second rank.
It's a pity he's a Taoist cultivator; if he were a martial artist, that would be... amazing!
With a thought, Li Chang'an caused the Taiyu Tower to tighten rapidly, crushing Ge Wenxuan's soul.
Ge Wenxuan's physical body flew up and landed in the hands of the walking corpse.
Then, Li Chang'an's majestic gaze swept around, and the several extraordinary third-rank leaders involuntarily retreated again.
"Gentlemen, submit to the Great Feng, or you will face certain death."
Li Chang'an's voice was devoid of emotion, clearly showing that he did not take the leaders in front of him seriously.
"The Great Heavenly King, is that it? Your tone is far too arrogant!" said You Shi, who was possessing a walking corpse, in a dry voice.
"Yes, young prince, everything can be discussed and negotiated. How can you kill a conversation with just one sentence?" the flirtatious Luan Yu said with a hint of resentment.
The other leaders remained silent, watching to see how Li Chang'an would react.
Granny Tian Gu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the Great Feng is now strong and powerful, and has no fear of Yunzhou."
"But Yunzhou has been preparing for more than 20 years. If a war really breaks out, the losses on both sides will be considerable. Hasn't Qingzhou already suffered some losses?"
"Having more friends means having more options. The flying beast army and the warriors of the Gu clan are still very helpful to Da Feng."
"Oh? Granny Tiangu means she wants to form an alliance with Da Feng?!" the walking corpse said frantically.
"Yes, I have already made my decision." Granny Tiangu smiled kindly, as if she had already made up her mind long ago.
After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Li Chang'an, "Your Majesty the Heavenly King."
"The Gu clan comes from a remote and impoverished area and has never seen much of the world, so please don't take offense."
During the Battle of Shanhai Pass, the Great Feng had a grudge against the Gu Clan, so it was understandable that they were hostile towards the Great Feng.
"I'm thinking, at this time tomorrow, I'll ask the Heavenly King to give these clan leaders some pointers, so they'll know the current strength of the Great Feng Dynasty."
The information about Granny Tiangu did not come from inquiries, but from the power of Tiangu itself.
Even if they join forces with the Buddhist Kingdom, the chances of defeating the Great Feng in this Yunzhou rebellion are slim.
Therefore, Granny Tian Gu has decided to pledge allegiance to the Great Feng.
However, the leaders of other tribes inevitably harbored resentment.
Granny Tian Gu's intention was actually to teach them a lesson by having Li Chang'an do it.
If we don't say that, and the two sides really start fighting, it would be easy for Li Chang'an to kill several clan leaders.
The patriarchs of the Gu clan had no idea just how strong a peak second-grade cultivator who practiced three different systems simultaneously was.
"I'll come back to learn from you again at this time tomorrow." The zombie's shrill voice rang out as it leaped away from the Heavenly Gu Tribe.
"Your Majesty, I eagerly anticipate our duel~~~" Luan Yu said with boundless flirtatiousness.
Li Chang'an didn't even glance at her. Having lived several lifetimes, Li Chang'an still had no interest in buses.
The more Li Chang'an acted this way, the more Luan Yu craved it.
"This woman is really troublesome, but I can give Xu Qi'an and Miao Youfang to her... If all else fails, I can sacrifice the Holy Son..." Li Chang'an pondered.
After the leaders left, Granny Tian Gu and Long Tu stayed behind, smiling and inviting Li Chang'an for tea.
"It is said that the Heavenly Gu has the power to glimpse the future, and now I have witnessed it firsthand."
Li Chang'an's implication was that Granny Tian Gu was pragmatic and could see the future clearly.
Granny Tian Gu said, "There are many limitations to prying into the future; it cannot be done anytime, anywhere."
Otherwise, the old man wouldn't have lost the Battle of Shanhai Pass.
Well, it's also possible that the Superintendent of Heaven blocked the secrets of heaven, preventing him from seeing the outcome of the war.
This trick works on wizards as well.
Granny Tian Gu said meaningfully, "Everyone says that Wei Yuan is a rare military genius, and that's true."
But that supervisor from the Central Plains, he's probably done even more behind the scenes."
"Does the Heavenly King know why the other leaders agreed to form an alliance with Yunzhou?"
"Twenty-one years ago, in the Battle of Shanhai Pass, the Gu Clan lost. All the tribes were dissatisfied, and so many people died."
This anger has been suppressed for twenty years; it was bound to erupt sooner or later.
“That’s understandable, but what your Gu clan cares about most is sealing the Gu God,” Li Chang’an said.
Granny Tian Gu nodded. "That's right. So the most important condition in Ge Wenxuan's request is to allow the Gu clan to gather their fortune and repair the Confucian Sage's seal."
If Xu Pingfeng's uprising succeeds, he must bear the consequences, help establish a kingdom in the southern border region, and cede two prefectures.
Using the skills of a first-rank sorcerer, he gathered fortune for the Gu clan and repaired the Confucian sage sculpture.
Then the Gu God will continue to slumber.
Li Chang'an said, "Grandma should know that we also have a way to strengthen the seal of the Gu God."
Granny Tian Gu pondered for a moment, "Let me first tell you about the Battle of Shanhai Pass back then."
The Buddhist sect mainly dealt with the southern demons who dreamed of restoring their kingdoms, as well as the northern barbarian demons.
The Great Feng was dealing with the Witch God Cult, which had a grudge against Emperor Gaozu, and my Gu Clan.
Of the seven tribes, You Shi of the Corpse Bone Tribe hates Da Feng the most because his father died under Wei Yuan's Seven-Day Killing Formation.
Secondly, there was the Love Gu tribe, whose women were abducted by the Great Feng army.
Their cultivation was stripped, and they were sent to various brothels and entertainment districts.
The Poison Gu Tribe inflicted heavy casualties on the Da Feng army, and in a fit of rage, Wei Yuan personally led 30,000 cavalry on a thousand-mile raid.
They wiped out all the warriors of the Poison Gu tribe, captured five thousand Poison Gu clan members, and then massacred them all.
To this day, the Poison Gu Tribe still has the smallest population among the seven tribes.
However, it was precisely because the chieftain, elders, and elites of the Poison Gu tribe were almost all killed or wounded that Ba Ji was able to stand out and become the leader.
He himself did not harbor much hatred towards the Great Feng, and the Poison Gu Tribe relied on the abundant poisonous herbs and substances in the southern border regions, and had no ambition for the Central Plains territory.
He could be considered a neutral party, but his attitude did not determine the attitude of his people.
The Poison Gu Clan still harbors hatred towards the Great Feng.
The Heart Gu, Dark Gu, and Power Gu don't necessarily harbor deep hatred for Da Feng, but they certainly don't have any goodwill towards him.
As for my Heavenly Gu Clan, hatred cannot shake their wisdom.
However, the Gu God has always been a problem that our department takes seriously. Whoever can seal the Gu God will gain our support.
Li Chang'an nodded. Xiao Wei was really ruthless back then, cutting his way from East Street to West Street without even blinking.
