Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Eleven Innate Grandmasters

Tianyang Sword Sect, as an Immortal Sect of Qingyun State, was unknowingly monitored by countless eyes in the shadows.

Every slight movement could be detected by forces from all directions.

"Gu Yutian has exited seclusion!"

In the Governor Mansion, Taishi Yi looked at the intelligence in his hands, a smile appearing on his face.

Gu Yutian.

That was the name of the Tianyang Sect Master.

These three characters alone were enough to suppress Qingyun State, solidifying the unshakable status of the Tianyang Sword Sect as an Immortal Sect.

Across the Nine States.

There were quite a few Immortal Sects.

And Gu Yutian''s strength was also sufficient to rank among the very peak.

Ever since Gu Yang occupied Guangyang Prefecture and proclaimed himself as Guangyang Prince, he had already become a threat to the Governor Mansion.

After all.

In Taishi Yi''s view, the chances of Gu Yang contending for supremacy over the world were slim to none, even if he had the backing of a Great Grandmaster.

The struggle for supremacy.

Was never something that Martial Artists could intervene in.

Only the support of an Immortal Sect could hope to have a hand in the affairs of the world.

But the Gu Family Manor, standing behind Gu Yang, represented a Martial Artist force in the true sense of the term, naturally not holding an advantage, especially since that Great Grandmaster had now been exposed—whether he could even survive was in question.

Therefore.

In the eyes of Taishi Yi, Gu Yang had little chance of victory.

And since it was a force doomed to fail, he naturally would not submit to that Guangyang Prince.

Consequently.

If Gu Yang led his army to invade Taishan County, threatening the Governor Mansion, it would be tantamount to indirectly weakening the power of the Governor Mansion.

Such an outcome did not align with Taishi Yi''s interests.

However, at the same time.

Gu Yang had a Great Grandmaster behind him, and the Governor Mansion was not in a position to shake them.

Therefore.

Now that the Tianyang Sword Sect had made a move, with the Tianyang Sect Master himself taking action, the problems that Taishan County faced naturally dissipated.

——

"Tianyang Sword Sect!"

"Gu Yutian—"

Inside Guangyang Prefecture City, Gu Yang, now dignified as Guangyang Prince, looked at the intelligence in his hands, frowning deeply.

This outcome.

Was within his expectations.

But now that he had truly learned about the Tianyang Sword Sect''s actions, Gu Yang couldn''t help but feel a sense of urgency.

To put it bluntly.

Since taking over Guangyang Prefecture, Gu Yang had been secretly amassing power while also securing a backup plan for himself and the Gu Family Manor.

Next.

Gu Yang then asked, "How many Innate Masters do we currently have in the Hidden Guard?"

It was a bit helpless to say.

Although he controlled the Hidden Guard, Gu Yang himself wasn''t very clear on how many powerful figures were within it.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, including those of us who are commanders, there are a total of eleven Innate Masters in the Hidden Guard!"

"Eleven Masters!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yang, despite having already overestimated the strength of the Hidden Guard, couldn''t help but take a sharp breath.

Clearly.

No one expected the Hidden Guard to have eleven Innate Masters.

The reason for this was because Gu Qingfeng, not long ago, handed the remaining eight Master-level Direct Ascension Pills to Gu Yi.

Eight Master Direct Ascension Pills.

Naturally, they directly created eight Innate Masters.

After the shock had passed.

Gu Yang took a deep breath to calm the emotional turbulence in his heart.

"Since the Hidden Guard has such strength, they will replace me in patrolling Guangyang Prefecture. During this time, any in Guangyang Prefecture who seek to create chaos, suppress them all, don''t show any mercy.

I want to see exactly what forces dare to extend their hands into my Guangyang Prefecture!"

"Also, command the various sects and clans throughout Guangyang Prefecture to maintain stability within their own regions. If there is any disobedience, punish them without mercy!"

Upon learning there were eleven Innate Masters in the Hidden Guard, Gu Yang started to act more decisively.

What a joke.

Such a force was already extremely powerful.

Although the current strength of the Hidden Guard was still insufficient to resolve the problem of the Tianyang Sword Sect.

Still.

If they couldn''t handle the Tianyang Sword Sect, could they not handle other forces?

Initially, in the vast Guangyang Prefecture, there wasn''t a single Innate Master in charge.

Such level of powerhouses, not to mention in Guangyang Prefecture, even looking across the entire Qingyun State, belonged to high-end fighters, capable of founding sects and dominating territories.

With the Tianyang Sword Sect now attacking, and Guangyang Prefecture having just fallen not long ago, Gu Yang didn''t need to think to know that there would definitely be some who wished to take advantage of the situation to create chaos.

However.

With the cooperation of the Hidden Guard and the sects from various regions, should anyone truly seek to create chaos, they wouldn''t be able to cause much of a disturbance.

As for whether the various forces in Guangyang Prefecture were willing to obey, Gu Yang had no doubts whatsoever.

It was simple.

Those who didn''t obey had already been annihilated.

All the sects that could remain now were those who bowed their heads in submission to him.
