Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 361 - 215: A Casual Promise of Engagement, Arriving at the Northern Territory Imperial City!_3

Chapter 361 -215: A Casual Promise of Engagement, Arriving at the Northern Territory Imperial City!_3

The gap here is just too vast…

And now, Husband has already reached the Perfection of the Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm. I fear it won’t be long before he even surpasses my father, the Emperor of the Northern Domain!

Thinking of this, she looked towards her husband, and her eyes almost began to sparkle with little stars.

However, she didn’t know that the current Gu Changge, although his realm was still at the Perfection of the Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm, freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

had undergone Tribulation twice and his true combat power was not even weaker than that of the Northern Domain Emperor.

Perhaps even stronger by a few notches!

Though the journey was long, if one in the Sage Realm were to drive the Flying Boat at full speed, it would only take a day to arrive.

Yet Gu Changge was not in a hurry, taking it as a chance to enjoy the scenery along the way.

“Daoist Fellow, why not ride the Flying Boat and save some effort.”

Suddenly, Sage Zhao looked up towards the clouds outside the Flying Boat and said with a cupped fist.

As his voice fell, he temporarily deactivated the Flying Boat’s Array.

A figure then silently appeared in front of the Flying Boat.

“Hehe… Since Daoist Fellow invites, I shall not hide any longer.”

Gu Haitang smiled slightly; he had just been outside the Gu Family Mansion, unwilling to reveal himself.

Being an Ancestor of the Gu Family, he had to keep some mystique in front of the younger generation, lest they think he was approachable and disturb him at the Back Mountain for no reason!

Of course, Changge was an exception.

Normally, he couldn’t easily leave the Back Mountain since he needed to guard against the two other major powers of the Northern Domain.

But now…

The situation had changed, as Gu Changge had become the Sword Sect’s Saint Son. Even the Northern Domain Royal Family wouldn’t dare to treat the Gu Family lightly.

Thus, he was free to leave the Back Mountain and move around whenever he wished.

…

The moment Gu Changge left the Gu Family, the Northern Domain Royal Family received the news.

The Emperor of the Northern Domain furrowed his brows.

What was he doing here?

Was he coming for him?

These days were the most torturous time for the Emperor of the Northern Domain.

From the moment he learned that Young Master Gu had become the Sword Sect’s Saint Son, he became somewhat desperate.

All his life’s efforts had been aimed at unifying the Northern Domain.

But now… that seems like an impossible dream.

To maintain the foundation of the current Royal Family would be the best outcome.

However, it was clear… that Gu Kid didn’t seem to give him that chance!

Now that he had willingly come to the Imperial City, who knew what he was planning!

If it really came down to it… to cede the dominion of two cities to the Gu Family.

Thinking this, he couldn’t help but rub his temples, his head throbbing painfully.

And the other members of the Northern Domain Royal Family harbored different thoughts.

[Eastern Palace]

Upon receiving the news, Crown Prince Wang Xing merely paused briefly.

Then he chuckled softly and murmured, “Didn’t expect to witness a good show at the end.”

“Father, how will you respond?”

“I’ve lived so long and never seen Father at a disadvantage; this time might be eye-opening.”

As the Crown Prince, he understood he had no chance with the throne.

Father clung to the thrill of holding absolute power, solely intent on ruling the Northern Domain, but he just wanted to practice cultivation in peace.

In a month’s time, he would head to the Central State’s Immortal Ascension Sect to join the Mountain Gate.

To become a personal disciple of an Immortal Ascension Sect Elder!

By then, he would gradually sever ties with the Northern Domain Royal Family, letting Father give the crown to whomever he wished!

“Father uses me as a pawn, but why can’t I use Father’s influence to send me out of the chessboard…”

Wang Xing looked up and sighed deeply, quietly waiting for his little sister and that Saint Son’s arrival.

..

Elsewhere, one person was as troubled as the Emperor of the Northern Domain.

It was the Second Prince, Wang Cheng!

“It’s all true…”

In Wang’s Mansion, Second Prince Wang Cheng looked despondent.

In the earlier days, during the visitations to the Gu Family from the Four Great Sacred Lands, he had already panicked.

Later, the news that Gu Changge had become the Sword Sect’s Saint Son reached him!

He was completely stunned.

Recalling the words Gu Changge had once said to him.

He was to appoint the heir to the Northern Domain throne…

At the time, he thought it was mere bravado, not daring to associate with him, viewing him as a madman.

But now it seemed…

He wasn’t crazy but genuinely confident!

The title of Sword Sect’s Saint Son alone was enough to influence all the forces in the Northern Domain to make decisions.

Annex the Royal Family?

That might provoke resistance from the Royals.

But he didn’t need to go through such trouble, as he only had to appoint the Little Sister as the Empress of the Northern Domain, and surely the Ancestors in the Imperial Mausoleum wouldn’t refuse.

“It seems… I refused a huge opportunity.”

Wang Cheng gave a wry smile; he had told him that as long as he was willing to assist the Little Sister, he might eventually ascend to the throne himself.

After all, he said his goal was Central State, not the Northern Domain.

Looking at it now, everything he said was true.

Now that he had become the Sword Sect’s Saint Son, why would he covet the barren land of the Northern Domain?

“Just not sure if it’s too late to pledge allegiance now…”

Even Wang Cheng could see that the trend had turned, and Father was powerless now.

At this moment, outside the Imperial Palace, many Princes and Generals were discussing how to welcome the Sword Sect’s Saint Son.

In their eyes, the Young Master of the Gu Family amounted to little, but a Sword Sect’s Saint Son… they couldn’t afford to provoke!

Some even proposed that the Northern Domain Emperor personally receive him.

“Ridiculous!”

“Utterly ridiculous!”

“Let me go to welcome a junior!?”

Listening to the suggestions of two Eighth-Grade Generals, the Emperor of the Northern Domain was almost about to explode in anger.

“But… besides him, there are also two Sword Sect Elders accompanying him.”

The Shadow Guard General unexpectedly didn’t follow the Emperor of the Northern Domain’s opinion.

“Though he is junior, his identity as the Sword Sect’s Saint Son is genuine.”

Another Elder, the Old Prince, suddenly spoke, unable to help but sigh and advise.

Their words also plunged the furious Northern Domain Emperor into contemplation.

Eventually, he just waved them off, dismissing them.

The next day.

A grand Flying Boat, unlike any ever seen in the Northern Domain, had already arrived at the Northern Territory Imperial City.

And ignoring any prohibitions, it headed straight for the Northern Domain Imperial Palace!
