Yuxiao Peak's temple headquarters.
Gu Yu was handling affairs. Since he had become Vice Peak Master, the day-to-day work had been handed over to Bai Haizhou, who was in charge. But matters such as deploying Nascent Soul Tribulation Realm experts, constructing resource cities, and moving high-grade supplies still required Gu Yu's attention.
