Many schemers and ambitious people began appearing in various places.
But Zhuge Liang was still around, and neither the North Dipper Celestial Venerable nor the others had left yet, so these people did not dare show themselves recklessly.
But as the North Dipper Celestial Venerable and the others left this world one after another,
they showed themselves and tried to rise up.
Yet Guan Yu led the army and wiped them out outright.
Guan Yu's strength, dominance, and ruthlessness made everyone realize that even without Ding Ling, and without the North Dipper Celestial Venerable and the others, the Nine Provinces Divine Sect was still not a force that ordinary factions could casually manipulate or bully.
The Demon Gate and the others successively lowered their banners and drums.
They chose to continue lying low.
But Zhuge Liang would not give them the chance.
Ziwei Celestial Venerable had taught him Zi Wei Astrology, allowing him to calculate and predict the future. With his skill at plotting, he accurately calculated the locations of the Demon Gate and the other rebels. Guan Yu, Xiang Yu, and the others then stormed their doors, and not a single one of these rebels escaped alive.
Only after investigating did Zhuge Liang learn the truth.
It turned out that these Demon Gates were factions formed over many years through the alliance between the Demon Cult of the Lower Realm and the remnants of this world's Demon Cult.
It was fortunate that they had been wiped out in time.
If the Demon Gate had been allowed to continue developing, its ability to achieve rapid results through its cultivation techniques would likely have raised a tiger to cause trouble.
Zhuge Liang continued calculating.
After wiping out several small groups of rebels in succession,
the Three Realms gradually settled into peace.
