After speaking, the Lord of the Heavenly Abyss Sect directly threw out a storage ring.

The consciousness of the Lord of the Embracing Moon Palace probed into it and was slightly surprised...

There were many good things in the storage ring, and there were also a large number of spirit stones.

"Besides, my Heavenly Abyss Sect is willing to give up the spiritual vein located on Qiong Star Island and hand it over to the Embracing Moon Palace for mining."

The spiritual vein on Qiong Star Island!

It is the foundation of the Heavenly Abyss Sect.

They actually want to give it up?

The words of the Lord of the Heavenly Abyss Sect stunned everyone in the Embracing Moon Palace, including the Lord of the Embracing Moon Palace.

The Heavenly Abyss Sect, which has been at odds with the Embracing Moon Palace for many years, suddenly took the initiative to soften and turn hostility into friendship with the Embracing Moon Palace? And they are giving up so many benefits.

Is the Lord of the Heavenly Abyss Sect out of his mind?

Or is there some conspiracy behind this?

Softening first, and then... after the Embracing Moon Palace lets down its guard...

The people of the Embracing Moon Palace couldn't understand why the Lord of the Heavenly Abyss Sect did this.

On the other hand, the Lord of the Embracing Moon Palace carefully observed the Lord of the Heavenly Abyss Sect and then accepted the storage ring.

"Good, I agree."

"From today onwards, all the grievances between my Embracing Moon Palace and the Heavenly Abyss Sect are settled. Three days later, I will send someone to take over the spiritual vein on Qiong Star Island."

The Lord of the Heavenly Abyss Sect breathed a sigh of relief.

"In that case, I will take my leave. After I return, I will immediately order the people of the Heavenly Abyss Sect to withdraw from Qiong Star Island."

After saying that, the Lord of the Heavenly Abyss Sect left.

The other two half-kings did not leave.

They looked at each other and threw out two storage rings.

"Lord of the Embracing Moon Palace, this is a little gift from the two of us. I hope you accept it..."

The Lord of the Embracing Moon Palace took the storage rings, and the things inside were not much worse than what the Lord of the Heavenly Abyss Sect had given.

If the sudden show of weakness by the Lord of the Heavenly Abyss Sect, wanting to turn enemies into friends with the Embracing Moon Palace, could still be traced, the sudden gifts from these two half-kings were somewhat inexplicable and confusing.

Many people present knew these two half-kings. They were the leaders of the two major forces in Fu Hai, but they had little contact with the Embracing Moon Palace in their daily lives, and they could even be said to be strangers to each other. Why did they suddenly show goodwill?

"Hahaha, it's all good, it's all good..."

The Lord of the Embracing Moon Palace accepted without hesitation. If you dare to give, I dare to accept.

Seeing this, the two powerful half-kings also breathed a sigh of relief.

They didn't have much enmity with the Embracing Moon Palace in the past, but after joining the Lord of the Heavenly Abyss Sect's "extermination plan," things were different...

If this matter were to be exposed in the future, the Heavenly Abyss Sect would be fine, but they would be in trouble.

So, they showed goodwill to the Embracing Moon Palace first, giving a big gift, just in case the "extermination plan" was exposed in the future, they would have a way out...

They came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

"Palace Master, this matter is too unusual, I'm afraid there is a conspiracy!"

An elder frowned slightly as he looked in the direction the Lord of the Heavenly Abyss Sect and the others had left.

"Unusual? No, not at all." The Lord of the Embracing Moon Palace chuckled.

"Fourth Elder, you're overthinking it. There... is no conspiracy at all."

"Ah?" The Fourth Elder was stunned.

"The Palace Master is right, there is indeed no conspiracy in this." The Grand Elder of the Embracing Moon Palace also spoke up, stroking his beard and smiling.

"Do you all remember the King Realm powerhouse who appeared on Lan Yue Island a few days ago?"

With one sentence from the Grand Elder, everyone present suddenly understood.

"I see, so it's the residual prestige of that King Realm senior..."

The Fourth Elder's face showed a look of realization.

"That's right!" The Lord of the Embracing Moon Palace nodded.

"So this is the deterrent power of a King Realm powerhouse? This old elder has truly witnessed it."

That King Realm powerhouse only appeared in the Embracing Moon Palace, but it made the Heavenly Abyss Sect, which had been at odds with the Embracing Moon Palace for many years, take the initiative to soften and seek reconciliation.

King Realm!

Everyone's hearts were filled with excitement and longing.

...

Just as the Embracing Moon Palace gained the submission of the Fu Hai Three Sects and its prestige soared, a major event occurred in the Hanqin Empire.

The Heavenly King of the Jiang Family, who returned from the Jade Sovereign Secret Realm, closed his doors again.

When he emerged, a grand and boundless phenomenon was set off, shaking the land for thousands of miles.

He had finally broken through the crucial threshold of the First Layer and stepped into... the Divine King realm!

The last First Layer of the three realms of the King's Path, the Divine King realm.

In the Hanqin Empire.

This level of strength is truly the pinnacle, the only apex.

Even the strongest ancestor of the Hanqin Empire's Sovereign Clan is only at this level.

Therefore.

With the Jiang Family's Heavenly King stepping into the Divine King realm, the Jiang Family has truly gained the qualification to stand on equal footing with the Hanqin Empire's Sovereign Clan.

For a while.

The entire Hanqin Empire was boiling with excitement.

Especially those family forces located in the eastern part of Hanqin, adjacent to the Jiang Family.

Messengers were sent one after another, carrying generous gifts, to the gates of the Jiang Family to congratulate the ancestral achievement of becoming a Divine King.

Even the Sovereign Chamber of the Hanqin Empire sent messengers in the same manner.

This made the Jiang Family even more proud and delighted.

Even the Gu Family in the distant Rive Hedge City was affected to some extent.

In recent years, the Gu Family had always been very low-key.

But even so, the Gu Family in Rive Hedge City had already shown signs of becoming the number one family.

However, compared to the Jiang Family, this first family was far inferior in reputation and influence, limited only to the cultivators in Rive Hedge City.

The Gu Family had some industries and manpower outside of Jianglin.

They had some friction and conflicts with the local powers.

But now.

With the emergence of a Divine King from the Jiang Family.

The leaders of those powers all arranged for their subordinates to be more restrained and dared not provoke any conflicts with the Gu Family.

"Although the Gu Family and the Jiang Family are not particularly close, over the years, there have been no messengers from the Jiang Family visiting. But the relatives of a Divine King family are still the relatives of a Divine King family!"

"Who knows when that Divine King family will think of helping the Gu Family regain its position?"

They didn't dare to gamble.

Nor did they want to.

They could only make concessions to the Gu Family.

But this concession of theirs.

When it reached the Gu Family, it made the Gu Family feel both amused and exasperated.

The Jiang Family? The Divine King family?

What does that matter!?

The rise of the Gu Family relied on their young master, Gu Changqing! It was never because of the Jiang Family.

But they didn't need to go over and explain anything to those people.

Gu Changqing didn't care either.

Since returning from the Jade Sovereign Secret Realm, Gu Changqing had once again entered seclusion, preparing to digest the gains from his trip to the Jade Sovereign Secret Realm.

And it was at this moment.

The Gu Family unexpectedly received a group of guests.

"Esteemed guests who have come from afar, the Gu Family is remiss in not welcoming you properly!"

In front of the main gate of the Gu Family in Rive Hedge City.

Gu Yuan, accompanied by a group of Gu Family elders, slightly cupped his hands and said to the visitors.

But his tone was cold and far from as warm as his words suggested.

Because these so-called esteemed guests were none other than the Jiang Family's patriarch, Jiang Cloud Mountain, and a group of high-ranking members of the Jiang Family.

Jiang Baiwei was also following behind.

Hearing Gu Yuan's indifferent words.

The high-ranking members of the Jiang Family, especially Jiang Baiwei, showed displeasure on their faces.

Now that the Jiang Family's ancestor had reached the Divine King realm, the entire Jiang Family's reputation had soared in the Hanqin Empire.

Even the Sovereign Chamber of the Hanqin Empire showed utmost respect to the Jiang Family.

In their eyes.

The Jiang Family's patriarch, accompanied by the high-ranking members, should at least be warmly welcomed by the Gu Family, with the entire clan coming out to greet them in a respectful manner.

But now, this cold reception made it difficult for the high-ranking members of the Jiang Family to bear.

They could only endure this anger temporarily, due to the instructions given by their patriarch before he arrived.

The reason for the Jiang Family's visit was simple!

To confirm whether the ranking of the Heavenly Demon Stele in the Jade Sovereign Secret Realm at that time was true or false!

After the Jiang Family's position was completely consolidated with the emergence of the Divine King, they urgently came to the Gu Family to verify whether Jiang Lianxin was the abandoned daughter of the Jiang Family that they knew.

Before the verification results came out.

The Gu Family had to endure this cold attitude.

If the verification results showed that Jiang Lianxin was indeed the second-ranked genius on the Heavenly Demon Stele, then everything would be fine.

They would have helped the Jiang Family cultivate a new genius.

They could give some rewards to the Gu Family and forgive them for their disrespect. That would be acceptable.

But if not, they would slowly deal with the Gu Family and make them realize that the Gu Family was no longer even qualified to be a vassal of the Jiang Family!

Thinking of this, Jiang Cloud Mountain coughed and stopped the elders behind him, then put on a smile and said, "Father-in-law, there's no need to be so polite. Our two families are in-laws, so why talk about welcoming from afar? By the way..."

As he spoke, he pretended to be puzzled and looked behind Gu Yuan, saying, "Why don't I see my talented son-in-law and my beloved daughter? To be honest, I've missed my little girl these years!"

Listening to Jiang Cloud Mountain's hypocritical words, not to mention the Gu Family elders, even Gu Yuan, who was the patriarch and had experienced many things, was about to lose his composure and wanted to scold the shameless old thief.

It hadn't been the wedding day yet, and he hadn't visited in two years, yet he claimed to have missed Jiang Lianxin so much. His shamelessness knew no bounds.

Fortunately, at that moment.

Two childish voices came from behind them, breaking the awkwardness. "Grandpa! Grandpa! When will Dad come out of seclusion?"

These two childish voices naturally belonged to Gu Yunxi and Gu Qingchen.

The cold attitude of the Gu Family had already made the high-ranking members of the Jiang Family, especially Jiang Baiwei, extremely dissatisfied.

Seeing that two little brats came out to disrupt the situation.

The high-ranking members of the Jiang Family were about to lose their temper. A King Realm expert was about to step forward and scold them, but before he could speak, he saw the faces of the two little ones and his pupils suddenly contracted!
