Lan Yu gave Gu Linglong a tour of the Pan Gu Sect.
On the second day, she thought of Yu Ling and went to visit the girl.
She asked Li Jun about Yu Lingâs place and headed to the new recruitâs residential area.
Since Yu Ling knew Gu Linglong, Li Jun had arranged for the girl to stay in probably the best place in the area. She was the only one among the new recruits to enjoy the perks.
However, when Gu Linglong arrived at the place, she saw a group of people in front of Yu Lingâs door. The group of men seemed to be threatening the girl to surrender her place. Gu Linglong was infuriated by the scene.
âWho gave you the audacity to start a scene here?â Gu Linglong bellowed.
The group turned around and noticed Gu Linglong was just a common Embodier. The leader grunted and sneered, âYouâre just an Embodier. Who gave you the confidence to talk back to us?â
âYeah!â
Yu Ling quickly went over to Gu Linglong. âSister Linglong!â
âItâs okay. Iâm here.â Gu Linglong consoled the girl.
The leader of the group grunted coldly and said, âMy honorable teacher is the executive elder of the Pan Gu Sect. I like this place, so from today onward, this place belongs to me. You people must leave!â
âExecutive elder? I wonder what his name is?â Gu Linglong asked.
âYou two Embodiers are not worthy of knowing his name.â The man with the jaded fan scoffed.
âOh? What about me?â A frosty voice came from outside.
A woman with silver hair walked into the yard.
âElder Lan Yu!â
âWhat? Whatâs Elder Lan Yu doing here?â
The group of terrified men immediately bowed at Lan Yu.
Lan Yu looked at the leader of the group coldly and said, âAm I worthy of knowing your honorable teacherâs name?â âElder Lan Yu, my honorable teacher is Master Daoist Yu.â
âMaster Daoist Yuâ¦â
Lan Yu pondered for a moment. The name did ring a bell. âThe Grand Dao cultivator who joined the Pan Gu Sect a while back?â
âYes.â
âHmph. It seems like he has quite the disciple.â Lan Yu grunted and bellowed, âScram!â
âY-Yes!â
The group scuttled away immediately.
Gu Linglong frowned as she watched the group of bullies scuttle away. âAre the disciples of the Pan Gu Sect such bullies?â âThe Pan Gu Sect has been expanding rapidly in the past decade, and many people have joined us. Itâs difficult for us to control their personalities,â Lan Yu said as she shook her head.
âIf Kuangren came out from cultivation and saw the Pan Gu Sect infected by vermin, what would he think?â Gu Linglong asked.
âI-Itâs not that serious, I think.â
âLan Yu, we cannot be careless about this matter. You have to know huge damage is from a moment of negligence. The development of the Pan Gu Sect cannot be hindered because of those people.â
âSister Linglong, what are you going to do?â
âI understand.â
Yu Ling was stunned when she heard the conversation.
She had no idea what was going on. Elder Lan Yu seemed to obey every word that Gu Linglong said. Who exactly was Gu Linglong?
Yu Ling was baffled.
âLingâer, are you okay?â
âSister Linglong, who are you?â Yu Ling asked curiously.
Gu Linglong chuckled and said, âLet me officially introduce myself. Iâm Gu Linglong, the wife of the Pan Gu Sect Leader.â
Pan Gu Sect Leaderâs wife?
Yu Ling gasped in shock. She had a hard time believing the words that came out of Gu Linglongâs mouth.
The Pan Gu Sect Leader was the legendary man who killed four Monarchs! Hence, the fact that Gu Linglong was her wife was astonishing!
Yu Ling was stunned, and the words of the fortune teller rang in her mind.
Gu Linglong was the so-called benefactor of her life! âSister Linglong! You lied to me for so long!â
âLingâer, I didnât want to lie to you, but if I told you I was the wife of the Pan Gu Sect Leader, would you have believed me?â Gu Linglong asked with a smile.
Yu Ling pondered and shook her head awkwardly. âProbably not.â
To her, any elder of the Pan Gu Sect was a towering figure, and the Sect Leader was nothing short of a legend.
Who would have thought that the lady she called sister was the legendâs wife?
Yu Ling immediately put her playful attitude away and looked serious when she learned about Gu Linglongâs true identity. Suddenly, she felt an invisible barrier between her and Gu Linglong.
Gu Linglong saw through the girlâs mind and patted her head.
âRight? And, no matter who I am or what I become, I will always be your Sister Linglong.â
Yu Ling felt relieved, but she needed time to get used to Gu Linglongâs drastic change of identity.
A month later, a group of people gathered at the meeting hall of the Pan Gu Sect.
They were all the executive elders of the Pan Gu Sect.
Other than the original cultivators from the Pan Gu Universe, many Grand Dao cultivators had joined the sect in the past century.
âWhatâs going on? Why did Elder Lan Yu gather us all here?â
âYeah. Whatâs going on?â
âI have no idea.â
Then, two feminine figures stepped into the hall.
It was Gu Linglong and Lan Yu.
The elders were curious when they saw Gu Linglong, wondering why a mere Embodier would appear in the meeting hall.
Could she be Lan Yuâs new servant? Gu Linglong then headed to the main seat of the table, which was Chu Kuangrenâs seat, and sat on the main seat before everyoneâs probing gaze. The entire room was silenced as they were all stunned.
âHow audacious!â
An elder got up and bellowed, âWhere did this ignorant girl come from? Why are you sitting in that seat?â
Gu Linglong, however, was not concerned. She said, âI believe no one is more fitting than me to sit in this seat.â
Her words caused the elders to clamor.
âHow dare a mere Embodier speak so loudly?â
âWho is she?â
âSilence!â Lan Yu shouted, silencing and frightening everyone else. âSheâs the Sect Leaderâs wife, and she represents the Sect Leader!â
âWhat?â The cultivators from the Pan Gu Universe already knew who Gu Linglong was, but the new cultivators were astonished.
The Sect Leaderâs wife? They had never heard of the Sect Leader having a wife.
However, since it was Lan Yu who announced Gu Linglongâs identity, they had no choice but to believe it.
âIâve summoned everyone here for one thing, which is to stop the development of the Pan Gu Sect immediately,â Gu Linglong said.
âWhat?â
âMadam, are you trying to hinder the Pan Gu Sectâs development?â
âYeah, did you get the permission from the Sect Leader?â
Everyone clamored. Li Jun, Nuwa, and the others pondered her words carefully.
Gu Linglong continued, âThe number of Pan Gu Sectâs cultivators has grown ten times in the past century, but they are a mix of good and bad. Some are terrible with a poor attitude. If they continue to be part of the sect, it will only tarnish the sectâs reputation. âMaster Daoist Yu, your disciple is a bully in the sect, and it has caused many problems for the other disciples.
âSix Art Heavenly Ruler, you used the Pan Gu Sectâs reputation to force the weaponsmith of Myriad Art City to forge your weapons. Do you know thatâll hurt the relationship between us and the weaponsmiths? If conflict happens, will you take responsibility?â âAnd Hundred-Eyed Yokai Daoist, should I tell everyone how many Great Dao Sources you have secretly kept?
âAnd theseâ¦â
Gu Linglong tossed several jade talismans to Li Jun and the others.
They recorded all the downsides of the rapid expansion of the Pan Gu Sect in the past century.
Everyone reacted grimly to what Gu Linglong said, especially the few whom Gu Linglong called out. They looked flustered.
