Shu Jianyue immediately put the land deed into her spatial storage and looked at Fu Jie, saying, "Very good, you can take your son back now."

"Although I haven't mentored him much, he did spend a few days under my supervision, and his actions haven't affected Shengshi. If Dean Gu has no objections, then this matter can be considered closed."

Gu Pingsheng's eyelids had been twitching ever since Fu Jie gave Shu Jianyue a land deed for the Four Seas Mountains. Now that he saw her pass the buck to him, he couldn't help but glare at her.

He looked at Fu Jie and smiled, "Then Patriarch Fu, please take Fu Heng back. Don't worry, we haven't spread what he did. No one else knows about it except for us."

So don't worry, it won't ruin his reputation.

Fu Jie was secretly furious. Why didn't you say so earlier? You made him lose such a big mountain range.

It should be noted that although the Fu family owned three or four mountain ranges, the others were quite small, with the Crimson Mist Mountain Range being the largest, but it is now gone.

No matter how angry he was, he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Shu Jianyue and Chong Jiu. He bowed to them, gritted his teeth, and left.

Gu Pingsheng sent a telepathic message to the Criminal Investigation Department, instructing them to release the person, and then stared intently at Shu Jianyue.

Shu Jianyue glanced at him and asked, "What are you doing, staring at me like that? Be careful he doesn't stab you." She then pointed to Chong Jiu next to her.

Chong Jiu glanced at her helplessly.

Gu Pingsheng rolled his eyes at her and pointed at Gou Yang, asking, "Is this the immortal who sent Fu Heng?"

Shu Jianyue nodded. "Hmm, what's wrong?"

"What else? How did you manage to get him like this? Aren't you afraid of trouble from higher-ups?" Gu Pingsheng was truly exasperated with this couple.

He's a holy being, after all. Even if he sent Fu Heng as a spy, there's no need to treat him like this, let alone be respectful.

"I'm not afraid..." Shu Jianyue then looked at Chong Jiu and asked, "What level of immortal can you defeat?"

"The Profound Immortal Realm, I suppose." This was the highest he could estimate based on his current cultivation level.

Shu Jianyue blinked. Perhaps it's best not to be too arrogant. If a powerful figure really comes along, it will be troublesome if we can't beat them.

"What should we do with him? Keep him in the tower?"

Chong Jiu glanced at Gu Pingsheng and said, "Let's keep it for now; it might come in handy."

Gu Pingsheng breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he wasn't killed, that was good. If things really came to that, he would still have a chance to argue... ptooey, to explain.

Gou Yang, the person involved, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Chong Jiu put Gou Yang away again and looked at Gu Pingsheng, asking, "Is there anything else?"

"No..." After Gu Pingsheng finished listening to the transmission from the Criminal Investigation Department, he looked at him and said, "Um, could you please untie the Immortal Binding Rope on Fu Heng?"

Even Fu Jie couldn't open it; this Immortal-Binding Rope is truly remarkable, it knows how to choose its master.

Chong Jiu slightly hooked his finger, and in the next instant, bundles of immortal ropes appeared in his hand.

Gu Pingsheng looked at the Immortal Binding Rope in his hand, his mouth moved, but he didn't say anything.

Just as she turned to look at Shu Jianyue, Danxia's voice came over, "Old man Gu, hurry, come to the Xu family's old residence in Hongcheng, there are good things and a good show to watch."

Gu Pingsheng's lips twitched. What day is it today? Why is there so much drama?

After thinking for a moment, she looked at Shu Jianyue and asked, "Danxia said there's a show to watch at the Xu family in Hongcheng, are you going?"

"The Xu family? The Xu family of Xu Chong?"

Gu Pingsheng nodded, "The only family that can hold a place in Hongcheng is the Xu family."

“Go ahead, I’m so bored, why don’t you go?” Shu Jianyue stood up and walked outside.

Yu Chuan immediately got up and followed.

Moxibustion will naturally be applied.

Just as Tiankong was about to follow, he felt his sleeve being tugged.

Looking down, he saw Wu Yan looking up at him. Even though Wu Yan's eyes were covered with ribbons, he could still feel that Wu Yan was looking at him.

Wu Yan said, "I want to go too."

"Okay, I'll take you there." Sky bent down and picked him up.

Gu Pingsheng shook his head; the crowd of spectators was quite large.

When they arrived, the Xu family's old house was already in an uproar, with a large crowd gathered both above and below.

Gu Pingsheng found Danxia and asked, "What happened?"

Danxia smiled and said, "The people in the Xu family's old house had an accident after taking the pills refined by Xu Chong, and there's a commotion right now."

"The pills refined by Xu Chong?" Gu Pingsheng looked at Dan Xia. This man was as cunning as a hornet's nest; he must have played a part in this.

"What's so interesting about this?"

Shu Jianyue nodded in agreement. No matter how much infighting there was inside, it couldn't be that serious. Why were so many people watching?

Suddenly, the sky stuffed Wu Yan into Yu Chuan's arms and then swept towards the ancestral pagoda of the Xu family's old residence.

"Hmm?" Upon seeing this, Shu Jianyue immediately followed.

As soon as she moves, Chong Jiu and Yu Zhong will naturally follow.

Gu Pingsheng followed suit, and then the onlookers surged towards the area.

Seeing this, Danxia's mouth twitched. She wondered if calling Gu Pingsheng would backfire on her.

As the sky descended upon the gate of the ancestral pagoda, about to enter, the pagoda keeper immediately blocked his way, shouting, "Who dares to trespass upon the Xu family's ancestral pagoda?"

The sky slapped down, sending the person crashing into the wall of the ancestral tower.

"Sky, what's wrong?" Shu Jianyue asked, pulling Sky back as she was about to go inside.

Sky glanced at the people following behind and transmitted his voice: "There's the aura of a divine beast inside this tower."

Shu Jianyue raised an eyebrow. "[Is it bad?] Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a hurry."

Sky shook its head. "I only sense that his aura is somewhat unstable; I don't know anything else."

Shu Jianyue nodded and looked at Chong Jiu, asking him if he had sensed it.

Chong Jiu nodded. He had sensed it when he arrived, but he hadn't thought to do anything about it.

[That divine beast's primordial spirit and true body have been trapped, and most of its divine power has been drained. If it continues to be drained for a few more years, it will likely be reduced to ashes.]

Upon hearing this, Tiankong immediately rushed forward, sensing the aura, and headed straight for the top of the tower.

Seeing that Yu Chuan was about to go in with Wu Yan in his arms, Shu Jianyue immediately said, "You take Wu Yan and wait outside with Dean Gu. If there are any problems, I'll tell you when Mother comes out."

Yu Chuan glanced at Gu Pingsheng and nodded in agreement.

Gu Pingsheng felt that the way Yu Chuan looked at him was because he thought he was in the way.

And that was indeed the case. Yu Chuan believed that if it weren't for Gu Pingsheng, he could have gone in with them to take a look.

Shu Jianyue ignored their little schemes and pulled Zhong Jiu into the tower.

She ran straight up without looking at what was inside the tower, but Chong Jiu did see it.

There were many skeletons along the walls on the third and fourth floors of the tower, some human and some mythical beasts.

Some of them are even close to being mythical beasts.

It seems the Xu family has done this kind of thing quite often. In the past, they extracted the spiritual power of spirit beasts and humans, but now they're directly absorbing divine power.
