Chapter 153: Eleven Innate Grandmasters
Chapter 153: Eleven Innate Grandmasters
The Heavenly Sun Sword Sect, an immortal sect of the Azure Cloud Province, was under constant surveillance by countless eyes in the shadows.
Any slight movement would be noticed by various factions.
"Gu Yutian has emerged from seclusion!"
In the governor's mansion, Taishi Yi smiled as he read the intelligence in his hand.
Gu Yutian.
The name of the Heavenly Sun Sect's leader.
These three words were enough to suppress the entire Azure Cloud Province, solidifying the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect's unshakable position as an immortal sect.
In the world of the Nine Provinces, there were only a few immortal sects.
And Gu Yutian's strength was on par with the top tier of these sects.
Ever since Gu Yang occupied the Guangyang Prefecture and proclaimed himself the Guangyang King, he had become a threat to the governor's mansion.
After all, in Taishi Yi's view, Gu Yang's chances of unifying the world were slim, even with a grandmaster backing him.
The struggle for dominance was never something mere martial artists could influence.
Only with the support of an immortal sect was there any hope of ruling the world.
However, the Gu Family, which backed Gu Yang, was a true martial force, naturally at a disadvantage. Moreover, the exposure of that grandmaster meant that his survival was questionable.
Therefore, in Taishi Yi's eyes, Gu Yang had little chance of success.
Since this force was destined to fall, he would never submit to the Guangyang King.
Thus, if Gu Yang led his army to invade Mount Tai Prefecture and threaten the governor's mansion, it would indirectly weaken the governor's power.
This outcome did not align with Taishi Yi's interests.
But at the same time, with a grandmaster backing Gu Yang, the current governor's mansion could not shake him.
So, with the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect now taking action and Gu Yutian personally stepping in, the problems facing Mount Tai Prefecture would naturally disappear.

"Heavenly Sun Sword Sect!"
"Gu Yutian—"
In the capital of the Guangyang Prefecture, now the esteemed Guangyang King, Gu Yang read the intelligence in his hand, his brows furrowed.
This was an expected result.
But upon truly learning of the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect's movements, Gu Yang felt a sense of urgency.
It was inevitable.
The reputation of an immortal sect was too great.
Even with control over the entire Guangyang Prefecture, an army of eight hundred thousand, several innate grandmasters, and a grandmaster backing him, Gu Yang lacked confidence.
The higher he rose, the more he could see.
And the more he saw, the clearer the strength of the immortal sects became.
This sect's foundation was immeasurable, and Gu Yutian, as its leader, was one of the top-tier experts in the Nine Provinces.
Now, with Gu Yutian personally leading the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect's elite, their purpose was clear.
Gu Yi reported, "Our scouts have reported a blood-red anomaly above the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect a few days ago, followed by Gu Yutian emerging from seclusion."
"Gu Yutian and the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect's elite are now heading toward the Guangyang Prefecture."
"Based on the timeline, the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect will arrive within five days."
Pausing, Gu Yi continued, "Additionally, our spies have reported that many unfamiliar experts are appearing in various parts of the Azure Cloud Province."
"According to some rumors, many of these experts are from the other eight provinces, and their goal is likely our Guangyang Prefecture."
Gu Yang's expression turned cold. "With the news of Father being a grandmaster spreading, these immortal sects and noble families are likely restless. They will come if they want to."
"Furthermore, I should inform Father immediately. Given our current strength in the Guangyang Prefecture, even with tens of thousands of troops and the assistance of innate grandmasters from the secret service, we may not be able to eliminate a Formless Realm expert!"
There was no choice.
The power of the Transformation Realm is beyond ordinary comprehension.
At this level, one stands at the pinnacle of the world.
Transformation Realm!
Grandmaster!
To detain either of these, relying solely on a few innate grandmasters and hundreds of thousands of troops is nothing but a pipe dream.
Unless.
The opponent is determined to fight to the death, otherwise, such a powerful being, if they truly wish to leave, can only be stopped by someone of equal strength. No one else can hold them back.
In the entire Guangyang Prefecture, the only person Gu Yang believes has a real chance of stopping such a powerful being is his father, a grandmaster.
But—
With the eyes of all the world's powerful figures now focused on Guangyang Prefecture, Gu Yang is unsure if Gu Qingfeng can withstand such pressure.
Yet, given the current situation, they have no choice but to take the risk.
However.
Gu Yang is not entirely unprepared.
The worst-case scenario is that Gu Qingfeng is no match for Gu Yutian.
In that case.
They might have to abandon their base in Guangyang Prefecture and go into hiding, waiting for the right moment to rise again.
To put it bluntly.
Since occupying Guangyang Prefecture, Gu Yang has been secretly amassing strength and preparing a fallback plan for himself and the Gu Family Village.
Then.
Gu Yang asked, "How many innate grandmasters do we have in the Secret Guard?"
It was a bit frustrating.
While he controlled the Secret Guard, Gu Yang was not entirely clear about the number of powerful individuals within it.
"Your Majesty, including us leaders, there are currently eleven innate grandmasters in the Secret Guard!"
"Eleven grandmasters!"
Even though Gu Yang had tried to overestimate the Secret Guard's strength, he still couldn't help but gasp in shock.
Clearly.
No one had expected the Secret Guard to have eleven innate grandmasters.
This situation arose because Gu Qingfeng had recently given Gu Yi the remaining eight grandmaster-level promotion pills.
Eight grandmaster promotion pills.
They had directly created eight innate grandmasters.
After the shock subsided.
Gu Yang took a deep breath to calm his emotions.
"Since the Secret Guard has such power, they will patrol Guangyang Prefecture on my behalf. During this time, suppress any troublemakers within Guangyang Prefecture without any leniency. I want to see which forces dare to meddle in my Guangyang Prefecture!"
"Also, order the various sects and noble families in Guangyang Prefecture to maintain stability in their respective regions. Any who defy this will be severely punished!"
Upon learning that the Secret Guard had eleven innate grandmasters, Gu Yang felt confident enough to act decisively.
Joking aside.
Such a force was extremely powerful.
Although the Secret Guard's current strength couldn't solve the problem of the Heavenly Yang Sword Sect,
It could certainly deal with other forces.
Back when the vast Guangyang Prefecture had no innate grandmasters, such a level of strength was considered elite, not just in Guangyang Prefecture, but throughout the entire Qingyun Province. It was enough to establish a sect or govern a region.
Now, with the Heavenly Yang Sword Sect's attack and the recent acquisition of Guangyang Prefecture, Gu Yang knew without a doubt that there would be those who would try to take advantage of the chaos.
However.
With the cooperation of the Secret Guard and the local sects, he believed that any troublemakers would not be able to cause too much disruption.
As for whether the various forces in Guangyang Prefecture would obey, Gu Yang had no doubts.
It was simple.
Those who didn't listen were already eliminated.
Any sect that remained had already sworn allegiance to him.
