Chapter 135 Intervene
There are special shrines dedicated to the ascended deities during eclipses, with portraits of these deities displayed on them.
Every year, Gokwi would offer incense to them, and he could recognize the great beings in the portraits at a glance.
The old man in front of me, with his puffed-out beard, glaring eyes, and square face, was the first powerful being to ascend to immortality during the Eclipse.
Ge Kui looked surprised. "Old Master Liao, what are you doing here?"
He paused for a moment, then realized that he had most likely fallen asleep; otherwise, how could a powerful being who had ascended to heaven have descended to the mortal realm?
"I came here for only one thing—Qingqiu."
Gokui stared at him, "Qingqiu?"
“That’s right. You should immediately abandon your attack on Qingqiu.” Liao Liangzhe said calmly, “Eclipse Sun isn’t without its own territory, why are you trying to take theirs?”
"Qingqiu has abundant spiritual energy, and no demon race does not yearn for it."
Gokui approached silently, "What's wrong with expanding the territory for Eclipse? Why is Ancestor stopping me?"
Just as Liao Liangzhe was about to speak, sharp claws suddenly slashed towards his neck.
"..."
Ge Kui's hand passed through his neck, and his face turned cold. "Yun Fuzhao, what tricks are you still playing?"
Liao Liangzhe: "I am not Yun Fuzhao."
He was somewhat pleased; this kid was good, very vigilant. He truly deserved to be his most capable junior.
"If it weren't for Yun Fuzhao, why would he advise me to stop attacking Qingqiu?"
“You know very well that you can’t fight them alone. Yun Fuzhao is not as simple as you think, and you shouldn’t be her enemy.”
Gokui's expression was indifferent. "It's not that I want to be her enemy, it's that she wants to stand against me."
He gave her a choice.
Liao Liangzhe was exasperated. "If you don't agree, can't you think of other ways? Spirit stones, cultivation techniques... even seduction would work!"
Goque almost doubted his ears. He repeated expressionlessly, "Seduction?"
“Yes,” Liao Liangzhe said, “look at what Qi Huai did. You’re not bad looking either; your appearance is top-notch among the demons. Why not use this natural weapon?”
"..."
He is definitely not Liao Laozu.
Goque drew a conclusion in his mind.
Of all the great figures in Eclipse, the one he admired most was Liao Liangzhe, who was exceptionally gifted and intelligent. It could be said that half of Eclipse's current success was due to Liao Liangzhe.
Gokui thought that such a pioneering figure was mature, steady, dignified and solemn.
Instead of doing anything fancy.
Liao Liangzhe was furious when he saw that Liao Liangzhe hadn't taken his words to heart. "You still don't believe me?"
Without saying a word, Liao Liangzhe recounted the entire history of Shi Ri's rise to power in great detail.
He heard Goque's conclusion crumble little by little.
He described things in such detail that only those within the Eclipse organization knew about them.
"Hmph, now you believe me, right?"
Liao Liangzhe: "Listen to me, absolutely do not go against Yun Fuzhao. Of course, it would be best if you could become his partner."
After saying that, he didn't forget to take a jab at his rival, "I don't think Qi Huai is any better than you. If you befriend Yun Fuzhao, it won't be long before you can take his place. Work hard, kid."
Goque's filter shattered into pieces.
“Ancestor, there is another very important reason why I attacked Qingqiu.” Ge Kui decided to tell him the truth. “In recent years, the spiritual veins of the Eclipse have been constantly drying up. Our clan is short of spiritual energy for cultivation, and we haven’t had a talented person for a long time.”
Liao Liangzhe was taken aback, not expecting there to be such a reason behind it.
"Why is that? I specifically chose this place when I was selecting the eclipse site. The underground spiritual veins are enough for at least five hundred years."
"I don't know."
As the leader of the Eclipse Clan, Gokui's first concern was naturally his people. Without a supply of spiritual energy, their cultivation would stagnate.
Over time, the eclipse will become the target of public criticism.
For the sake of his race's development, he had no choice but to plunder the territories of others.
Gokui doesn't consider himself to have any morals, and in the demon realm, the strong are always respected.
"This is indeed a problem."
Liao Liangzhe thought for a moment and then said, "In short, don't act rashly for now. I'll figure out a way to deal with the spiritual vein."
"How is the Ancestor doing in the Upper Realm...?"
"I naturally have my own methods."
……
[Yun Family Team 2, Liao Liangzhe: That's how it is.]
Yun Fuzhao was surprised. "No wonder Eclipse Sun, with its vast territory, still covets Qingqiu."
[Yun Family Brigade 2 Liao Liangzhe: That's right, that's right. I knew our Xiao Kui wasn't a bad kid; he was forced into it.]
[Qi Teng, Yun Family Team 1: Something about that sounds a bit odd.]
Yun Fuzhao didn't think about it carefully. The spiritual veins were easy to solve. Their sect's spiritual veins were purchased from the system shop before.
She browsed the shop and saw a seventh-grade spiritual vein, priced at seven hundred points.
It's not expensive.
She has accumulated points here and there, and now she has basically achieved financial freedom.
However, it's fine if she doesn't buy it. After all, Gokui can't take down Qingqiu. If it goes on for too long, they might lose half of their tribesmen.
As if sensing Yun Fuzhao's hesitation, special effects immediately appeared on the screen.
Mu Liangzhe rewarded cultivation points.
Yun Fuzhao: [Buy it, I must buy it.]
System 001: [The Grade 7 Spirit Vein has been sent to your storage bag. Please check, streamer.]
Like the previous one, this spiritual vein can only be placed on the actual site.
Yun Fuzhao didn't know what Ge Kui's current situation was, but she always felt that going there would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den.
[Yun Family Brigade 2, Mu Liangzhe: Don't worry, Yun girl, I've already warned him that the entire Eclipse will treat you as an honored guest.]
Finally, he added, "If you'd like to visit the Eclipse, that's fine too. You haven't really explored the Eclipse during those days, and there are many interesting things you've already seen. I'll have Gokkui show you around then."
Some intelligent and powerful individuals have already realized that this old fellow clearly has his eye on Yun Fuzhao and wants her to marry his junior.
Qi Teng was the first to quit.
[Qi Teng, Yun Family Team 1: What's so fun about the eclipse? It's not even half as interesting as our Qingqiu. Yun Fuzhao, we're having a bonfire party in Qingqiu in a few days, it's really fun, don't miss it.]
[Yun Family Brigade 2 Liao Liangzhe: It's just a bonfire party, don't act like nobody's there. Yun girl, if you're going to the eclipse, let Ge Kui show you the celestial dog eating the sun.]
[Yun Family Team 1, Qi Teng: Liao Liangzhe, what do you mean? Are you eyeing my daughter-in-law?]
[Yun Family Brigade 2 Liao Liangzhe: Your daughter-in-law? Has Yun girl admitted it yet? Stop being so presumptuous.]
[Qi Teng, Yun Family Team 1: This doesn't need to be admitted; everyone knows it. Yun Fuzhao and my son have a great relationship. Don't let your Ge Kui interfere and become a mistress.]
[Yun Family Team 2 Liao Liangzhe: You don't know anything. The one who isn't loved is the mistress.]
Yun Fuzhao: "..."
No, what are you talking about?
She silently turned off the comments, and the world became quiet again.
Yun Fuzhao went back to find Qi Huai; he still needed to talk to him about the spiritual vein.
