Chapter 414 Devouring the Crimson Flame Ghost Realm
At this point, the Crimson Flame Ghost Realm was essentially just finishing up. Its three Nascent Soul experts were all dead, and the essence of Heaven's Dao had been used to create the last Nascent Soul expert, the red-clothed female ghost. It was all used up and could no longer create another Nascent Soul expert.
Now, it's time to let the cultivators from the Heavenly Realm and the Cangzhu River Dragon Palace enter the fray. Everyone will kill them, occupy the world, and slowly divide up its core.
"Zhang Sanfeng, Abbess Miejue, you two stay here and don't do anything for now. I'll go back and discuss the follow-up invasion with the Empress. Of course, if anyone is courting death, just kill them without giving them any face."
The two nodded. Having witnessed Gu Yuchuan's strength, they were even less inclined to rebel or resist; all they could do was obediently listen to him.
Gu Yuchuan returned directly to the Heaven Sword Realm. A week later, he finally saw Zhou Zhiruo. After not seeing her for a while, Zhou Zhiruo's pregnancy was even more obvious, and it was clear that she would be giving birth soon.
The couple were overjoyed to see each other, their eyes even filled with affection. However, Zhou Zhiruo kept looking behind her, and Gu Yuchuan knew what she meant.
"Zhiruo, don't worry. Since I said I would protect Abbess Miejue, I won't let anything happen to her. She is very safe. However, she is stationed in the Crimson Flame Ghost Realm with Zhang Sanfeng. All the Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the Ghost Realm are dead, and the essence of the Heavenly Dao is gone. They no longer have the ability to resist."
Zhou Zhiruo's pupils lit up immediately: "My husband is truly a peerless hero. To have such strength on someone else's turf, I really admire him. If it were me, it certainly wouldn't have been so smooth."
Gu Yuchuan took his hand, his eyes gentle: "Madam is too kind. I know your abilities. If it were you, the result would have been the same. Alright, let's go inside. It's a windy spot here, be careful not to catch a cold."
Zhou Zhiruo was a Nascent Soul cultivator, so how could she be exposed to the wind? However, she still really liked Gu Yuchuan's care for her, and her eyes became even more affectionate.
After returning to the room, Gu Yuchuan helped him sit down. Zhou Zhiruo thought for a while and then spoke.
"My lord, what should we do now? I don't know anything about the situation in the Crimson Flame Ghost Realm. I'm sure you'll have to take the lead in everything."
Gu Yuchuan understood this principle: "Alright, you should first muster your troops and prepare a lineup of cultivators. You don't need too many, but each one should be very powerful and preferably loyal. This process can greatly improve one's luck, which is very beneficial to cultivators."
Zhou Zhiruo nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to my husband. I'll go prepare now."
But Gu Yuchuan stopped her, clearly indicating that he still had something to say.
"Wait a moment, prepare a large teleportation coordinate for me. I'm going back to the Dragon Palace to bring some of my subordinates over and improve their strength."
Zhou Zhiruo nodded: "I had forgotten about this. I'll prepare now."
As the ruler of the world, setting up a large coordinate system was easy for her. Soon, she prepared a jade plate and gave it to Gu Yuchuan.
“Husband, this jade plate can only be used once. It’s not that I don’t want to give it to you for a long time, but it’s just that I need to go into seclusion to refine it properly. Things are so urgent now, I really don’t have time. Just make do with this for now.”
Gu Yuchuan took it: "It's alright, one-time use is enough for now. You can start preparing, I'll go too."
After saying that, he activated his teleportation array and returned to the Azure Cloud Realm, where Zhou Zhiruo began to prepare to assemble her core team.
Back at the Dragon Palace, everyone was overjoyed. Gu Yuchuan had returned in just one month. However, he didn't say anything to anyone but instead summoned Pei Yu directly.
"Go, muster your troops. Take my token and select a hundred-man squad from all the cultivators in the Dragon Palace who are capable of fighting, including the soldiers below. Remember, they must be the very core of the core, with absolute loyalty. A tremendous reward awaits you."
Pei Yu knelt down to receive the imperial decree and immediately began preparations. In less than two hours, the small team appeared before him. Unexpectedly, Consort Mo Nan'an and Consort Ningzhi were also in the team.
That makes sense. Both of them are Golden Core cultivators, so their combat power is naturally formidable. As for loyalty, as members of a class that enjoys power, they are naturally more willing to uphold the dynasty's rule, so their loyalty is not an issue.
Gu Yuchuan surveyed the hundred-person team. The weakest among them was a Foundation Establishment demon general. It seemed that the fourth-tier spiritual vein had brought tremendous benefits to the lesser demons below. Those with even a little talent, or those who weren't complete idiots, could at least become Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Gu Yuchuan tightened his face: "This time, I will take you to a small world that I have conquered. You will have to cooperate with the Empress's subordinates to kill all the remaining evil forces in this world. In the end, this world will be integrated into the Dragon Palace. If all goes well, after this, our Dragon Palace will be able to become an independent small world. At that time, you will all be meritorious."
Everyone shouted. Although they didn't quite understand what Gu Yuchuan meant or how amazing it was, they knew that this matter was very important, and everyone was very excited.
Gu Yuchuan raised his hand, and everyone fell silent: "Everyone, as long as you do this well, you will not only be rewarded when you return, but you will also be favored by the world's fortune. Your future cultivation will be much smoother. I won't say anything more. Just get ready to set off."
With a wave of his hand, he activated the jade disc in his hand, which was the large teleportation array. He stepped out first, and opposite him was the large open space in front of the palace, where Zhou Zhiruo was waiting.
Soon, all the demons arrived. Some of them still retained some of their demonic characteristics, which left some of the martial arts practitioners on the periphery somewhat bewildered.
Gu Yuchuan looked at them: "I am the Dragon God, a dragon, and my subordinates are naturally aquatic beings."
This statement makes a lot of sense, and everyone has gradually accepted it. After all, there are no demons in the Heavenly Realm, and they have no enmity with the demons. They have naturally incorporated the demons into Gu Yuchuan's character, making them their allies, so it is easy to accept.
The Imperial Concubine immediately bowed deeply to Zhou Zhiruo, as did the Consort De behind her, as they both recognized Zhou Zhiruo.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects. May Your Majesty live a long and healthy life."
The aquatic creatures behind them immediately knelt down to pay their respects, and Zhou Zhiruo, showing great courtesy, personally helped the Imperial Concubine up.
"Please rise quickly, sister. I am not in the Dragon Palace, so the responsibility of managing the harem rests on your shoulders. Thank you for helping me manage the harem. When I return from the Ghost Realm, I will prepare a great gift for you."
