Empty Mirage Pearl

To prevent those leaving the state from receiving the news and fleeing, it has never taken much time, both in Gu Jinlai.

Xin Tianqi was put in charge of the capture, while he himself led four thousand demon god guards to attack Lizhou.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhanxian, Liu Jingtao, Fang Linghai, Leng Ningshuang, Youquan Ancestor, Wuyou Ancestor, and Primordial Spirit True Lord, along with Gu Xiliu and Gu Yunxin, each piloted hundreds of warships, leading teams of thousands of elite troops and even cultivators, heading straight for the nine islands.

Three hundred miles of sea is an insurmountable barrier for ordinary people, but for Gu Jinlai, who once again piloted eight Xuan Bird fighter jets in a state of True Spirit possession, it was only a minute or two.

Through airborne radar scanning, the locations of those who Spirit Refining and Spirit Transformation were quickly identified Gu Jinlai.

However, none of these people exhibited any divine thought at the Primordial Spirit level.

In addition, fierce battles are taking place in Lizhou at this time, and the targets of the attacks are none other than the other major forces in Lizhou.

This scene surprised both Gu Jinlai.

At that moment, energy fluctuations belonging to the Primordial Spirit True Lord level emerged.

Soon, Lei Jie's divine thought transmission reached his ears, "Lord Gu, I apologize for disturbing you, but please allow me to speak."

"Thunder interception?"

He glanced in the direction from which the divine sense fluctuations came Gu Jinlai: "What else do you have to say?"

"I never intended to be an enemy of the Lord of Guzhou. It's just that the circumstances at the time left me with few choices. If I didn't align myself with the major powers, their first priority would have been to unite with the overseas islands, drive me, the Lord of Guzhou, out of the state, and force me to join the coalition. I had no choice."

Lei Jie's divine sense surged, and he quickly said, "I suppose Lord Gu also knows that although our Lizhou Lord's Mansion is a member of the allied forces, not only have I not shown my face, but we have also only sent out one or two Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators. This is enough to show that I have no intention of being an enemy of Lord Gu. In addition, I have found out the forces to which the group that attacked Gu Chifeng in Jiangzhou belong. The Lizhou Lord's Mansion is willing to be Lord Gu's vanguard and bring them to justice, and hand them over to Lord Gu for disposal."

Gu Jinlai, no one's expression has changed much upon hearing this.

Lei Jie's approach is simply to bet on both sides.

But...

"You've found out who the attacker was?"

"Yes, it was the Ouyang family, Ding family, Storm Gate, Tianhai Gang from Lizhou, as well as the four major islands of Black Shark Island, Panlong Island, Floating Cloud Island, and Azure Wave Island from the twelve overseas islands, totaling eight forces. The Nascent Primordial Spirit True Lord who made the move were the island lords of Black Shark Island and Azure Wave Island."

Lei Jie had no intention of using this information to bargain with Gu Jinlai; he reported it immediately.

He immediately added, "We have already taken down Storm Gate. If the Ancient Lord is willing, he can personally execute them now to deter all the petty villains."

"Oh."

Controlling the Xuan Bird fighter jet from Gu Jinlai, it quickly arrived over Lizhou.

After some observation...

As expected, a major battle is taking place between the state governor's mansion and local forces.

Originally, the state lord's mansion did not have the ability to fight against several major forces at the same time, but the naval battle just now directly wiped out the main forces of the three major Aristocratic Clan and two major gangs, leaving only some experts...

Although their overall strength was still superior to that of the state lord's mansion, the lack of a leader made them panic and unable to unite as one to resist the state lord's offensive.

As the Gu Jinlai warplanes arrived over Lizhou, Lei Jie took the initiative to appear and bowed to the Xuan Bird warplane, which was in a state of being possessed by True Spirit.

Gu Jinlai looked at the governor of Lizhou, pondered for a moment, and said, "Although I know your true thoughts, since you have shown sincerity, I don't mind making an exception for Lizhou. My men will land in Lizhou in three hours to wipe out the three great Aristocratic Clan and two major gangs. Be prepared to welcome them."

Lei Jie, who had been looking tense, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew he had made the right bet.

"I will obey the command of the ancient state lord."

"Um."

Gu Jinlai responded and controlled the Xuan Bird fighter jet to fly over the Three Great Families and two major gangs.

Any red light that appears in his field of vision will be mercilessly attacked by the electromagnetic railgun.

Since most of the Red Name are core figures at the Core Forming, Spirit Refining, or even Spirit Transformation Realm.

With his pinpoint strikes from above, the high-ranking members of the three major Aristocratic Clan and two major gangs were killed one after another, making the advance of the City Lord Mansion incredibly smooth.

When the four first-class warships controlled by the Jiangzhou Navy reappeared in the port, the battle within the territory of Lizhou had been mostly quelled, with only some cleanup and looting work remaining.

Despite knowing full well that the three powerful Aristocratic Clan and two major gangs must have offered numerous benefits, Lei Jieming still ordered his subordinates to withdraw quickly, demonstrating that he had no interest in these gains.

On the warship.

They disembarked Gu Jinlai the warship, surrounded by the personal guards of the ancient stream and other demon gods.

At the port, Lei Jie and a group of core members of the state government waited respectfully.

Upon seeing Gu Jinlai disembark, he immediately stepped forward and bowed. "Welcome Gu Zhou to Li Zhou. With the arrival of the Gu Zhou lord, you will surely be able to easily end the chaos in Li Zhou and restore the rules and regulations of this overseas state. At the same time, you will also be able to free the twenty million people of Li Zhou from the harassment of the overseas islands."

"Lord Leizhou is quite eloquent."

Gu Jinlai have looked upon this supreme True Lord.

Lei Jie, on the other hand, was extremely humble. "What I said comes from the bottom of my heart. In fact, I have been waiting for the arrival of the Lord of Guzhou ever since I first heard his name. I have always wanted to resolve the chaos in Lizhou, but unfortunately, I am not capable enough. In the end, I can only barely ensure that I do not collude with the three great Aristocratic Clan and the two major gangs."

After saying that, he immediately added, "A few months ago, after the Lord of Guzhou asked me to investigate the culprit behind the Jiangzhou incident, I immediately had my nephew conduct a thorough investigation in secret. It was because of this that we were able to take advantage of the faction leaders' departure to severely damage them and even directly crush the Storm Gate."

Gu Jinlai, people have nodded slightly.

He gave Lei Jie a break precisely because of this.

"Ancient Red Peak".

Gu Jinlai.

Soon, Gu Chifeng, who had been demoted, walked out with a solemn expression.

"Go, pay with your blood."

The direct path Gu Jinlai.

Gu Chifeng bowed and quickly led squads of demon guards who disembarked from the warships toward the cities of Lizhou.

Due to its small population, the state has only nine cities in total.

There are six major powers, each with one port, and three more that are public-interest port cities.

Or, to put it another way, it is a city jointly governed and managed by Lizhou and the twelve islands of the East China Sea.

Because Gu Jinlai had already controlled the Xuan Bird fighter jets to rush to various parts of Lizhou, he would kill off the Spirit Transformation and Spirit Refining realm experts one by one from the other five major forces besides the State Lord's Mansion...

Of course, some who managed to conceal their presence and slip through the net were inevitable, but his Xuan Bird fighter jet had not yet been retrieved.

As soon as they show themselves, they will be met with a fatal blow from the Xuan Bird fighter jets descending from the sky.

In addition, the State Lord's Mansion had already fought a battle with the five major forces, and Gu Chifeng led a full four thousand Demon God Guards, which was more than enough to wipe out the remnants of these five major forces.

"Lord Gu, this way please..."

Lei Jie respectfully led the way, bringing him to the state lord's mansion.

He showed absolutely no airs of being a top-tier Nascent Primordial Spirit True Lord from beginning to end.

This has never been surprising, either in Gu Jinlai.

After the conflict in Yulong City, Xin Tianqi dispatched many people to investigate the forces in Lizhou and even the Twelve Islands of the East Sea. Among them, the Primordial Spirit True Lord of these forces were the most important to investigate.

Based on these investigations, Lei Jie's character became widely known.

Describing him as someone who is greedy for life and afraid of death might be a bit harsh, but it's not far off.

At least he always takes a cautious approach and considers things from multiple perspectives, no matter what he does.

This is also why he, as the official governor of the state, was able to blend in with the three great Aristocratic Clan, the two major gangs, and the twelve islands in the harsh environment of Lizhou.

Like his two predecessors, one of whom was also Primordial Spirit True Lord, both of them mysteriously disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace of their remains.

This kind of person is not much different from the three great Aristocratic Clan and two major gangs.

They fear power but do not cherish virtue.

He was just a little "smarter" than the others.

As long as Lingxiao City maintains its dominance, this Primordial Spirit True Lord will always maintain his stance and act obediently.

Lei Jie clearly understood Gu Jinlai's personality, so he didn't make a big fuss about arranging banquets, songs and dances, and directly led him to the inner hall of the state lord's mansion.

"The overseas regions are relatively poor in resources compared to the inland areas, but they can also occasionally produce some amazing treasures. It seems that Heaven knows that the Lord of Guzhou is about to come and save our Lizhou. Half a year ago, when I went out, I happened to find a treasure. Lord of Guzhou, please take a look."

Lei Jie enthusiastically opened a jade box.

Inside was a precious pearl that emitted a faint, flowing light.

This precious pearl was small, only one centimeter in diameter, but it was covered with special Dao patterns. After carefully sensing it for a moment...

They actually sensed a spatial fluctuation within those Dao patterns.

"This is..."

As if realizing something, Gu Jinlai's pupils contracted. "The Void Mirage Pearl!?"

"It is indeed the Mirage Pearl."

Although Lei Jie was heartbroken, his face was full of smiles.

Gu Jinlai strode forward, took out the precious pearl, and examined it carefully.

After a long while, he finally came to the conclusion. "It really is such a treasure."

A mirage bead.

It is a special material left behind by a primordial divine beast called "Shen" after its death.

Any creature that can be called a "divine beast" must possess supernatural abilities and powers that far exceed ordinary people's imagination.

The materials left behind by this innate divine beast called "Shen"...

It possesses a natural spatial mystique.

It is said that the main material of the Heaven and Earth Universe Diagram is the Mirage Pearl.

It gives rise to heaven and earth within, forming its own universe.

"This is the main material for refining the legendary treasure—the Qiankun Ring."

This Gu Jinlai.

The Qiankun Ring and Qiankun Bag are standard equipment for cultivators.

But there's nothing we can do; this is a low-level Xianxia world, and the value of the Qiankun Ring is no less than that of a Dao artifact.

"Only a very few top-tier Heavenly Monarchs, or even Creators, can refine this material, and in the Qian Heaven Realm, only the Ancient State Lord is capable of doing so."

Lei Jie smiled humbly, "That's why I said this treasure was created entirely in response to your arrival, Lord Gu."
