In the council hall, Gu Sheng was listening as Liu Daimei reported some information to him.
His mobilization of troops into three provinces and his proclamation to the entire world had stirred things up so violently that all the remaining Reincarnators now felt endangered. Those who remained had either abandoned their missions and fled in advance or were unwilling to give up their operations and had joined forces to resist him.
"Qingshan, you're here!"
While Liu Daimei was speaking, Teng Qingshan entered from the side hall. Gu Sheng greeted him, then whispered a few words to Liu Daimei, who promptly withdrew.
"Cousin, why did you call for me?"
Teng Qingshan sat down opposite Gu Sheng. Gu Sheng guarded the central stronghold while Teng Qingshan busied himself with everything outside. The Xingyi Sect had only been established for a short time, and with only the two of them as Void Realm experts, they did not even have many trustworthy Innate experts. There were many matters they could only handle personally.
"Qingshan, I called you here mainly for two matters!"
After a moment of silence, Gu Sheng said, "The matter of the Gui Yuan Sect has dragged on for so long that it should finally have a result. Jiangning Prefecture lies in the heart of Yangzhou, so we absolutely can't... let things continue like this. Let them move south! Give them Nanxing, Xuyang, and Chu County!"
Teng Qingshan hesitated instead. "Cousin, this... won't that be inappropriate? Three prefectures are nothing much, but if we don't occupy even one of these three southern prefectures, then between Yangzhou and Yan Province, wouldn't there be..."
Nanxing, Xuyang, and Chu County were all located in southern Yangzhou. The three prefectures formed a vast stretch of territory, bordering Yu Province in the west and the South Sea
