Everyone trembled. It was so terrifying! How could they kill the leader of a force so easily?

That was the leader of the Blood Spirit Sect, yet he was killed with just one palm!

"The Blood Spirit Sect sent people to infiltrate me and kill me back then. I don't think there's any need to keep the Blood Spirit Sect around. Uncle Chi, the Chi clan has been developing for so many years and needs to expand. What do you think of the Blood Spirit Sect?"

"this……"

Chi Zhen was shocked. Did this mean that the Chi family was going to take over the Blood Spirit Sect?!

"The Blood Spirit Sect doesn't need to keep them anymore, so just accept them."

Gu Yuan looked at Shengxuzi, then nodded and said, "Senior Shengxuzi, what do you think? The things that the Blood Spirit Sect has done over the years should not have escaped your scrutiny. I believe you should agree, right?"

Looking at Gu Yuan who had locked his aura on him, Shengxuzi smiled bitterly.

Although he had already reached the peak of the ninth level of spiritual saint, he had no intention of resisting Gu Yuan, a sixth level spiritual saint.

There was no other reason. Just those dozen or so attributes and the spiritual energy that was more than ten times greater than his own were enough to make him retreat.

"If you think it's okay, then fine." Shengxuzi said.

"That's good." Gu Yuan nodded and said lightly.

Another three years passed.

In three years, the situation in the Central Region has undergone tremendous changes.

The first is that Gu Yuan, who came out of the secret realm, single-handedly killed the leader of the Blood Spirit Sect, Xue Hanzi, and became famous in one battle. It reminded people of what happened more than ten years ago. Looking back on this incident, it doesn’t seem strange anymore.

Gu Yuan's name became more and more famous in the Central Region. Of course, Gu Yuan could indeed be regarded as a man standing in the position of a god. After all, there were only a handful of people on this continent who dared to fight with him.

Even the leader of the Holy Sect, Shengxuzi, who is at the peak of the ninth level of spiritual saint, can't do it.

Relying on Gu Yuan, the Chi clan directly occupied the Blood Spirit Sect's sect site, developed rapidly, and became one of the new generation of dominant forces in the Central Region.

As for the Holy Sect, Chi Yuer and Gu Yuan remained in favor of their attitude back then, so the sect remained unchanged and was still officially the largest sect in the Central Region.

Ranked second is the Chi clan.

It's not just because Gu Yuan brought changes to them, but also because the daughter of the Chi clan, Chi Yuer, and the Yuansheng Gu Yuan are already married. The two are childhood sweethearts. In addition, with Gu Yuan's memory restored, the long-separated feelings are reunited, which can be said to be a natural result.

The famous Yuan Sheng became the son-in-law of the Chi clan, so the Chi clan rose in power and became the dominant force.

The Buddhist sect still remained in seclusion, and Gu Yuan had never dealt with them.

The fourth place was no longer the Mingjian Sect. After Cang Liunan was killed by Gu Yuan, it was divided up among many forces.

How time has changed in five years.

The Abyss Pawnshop has grown into a force spread across dozens of empires.

Ever since Gu Yuan left to let Lie Yuer develop in Fengyun Empire, the Abyss Pawnshop took root in another place, and finally merged with the Abyss Pawnshop headquartered in Beastmaster City, becoming a well-known pawnshop.

After five years of development, it has now grown into a towering tree.

Lie Yuer became the head manager of the Abyss Pawnshop. Due to the rapid development of the Abyss Pawnshop, Mu San took the initiative to step down. Facts also proved that Lie Yuer had excellent business talent, and she had already planned to let the Abyss Pawnshop move towards the Central Region.

With Gu Yuan there, Lie Yuer was not worried at all.

Because that man has become the one closest to the emperor.

Zhongyu, Chi clan.

The young man was hugging a beautiful woman. Beside them, a well-behaved girl as cute as a porcelain doll was squatting, counting the stars in the sky.

The woman snuggled in the man's arms, "Brother Gu Yuan, who do you think Xian'er looks like?"

“They all look alike.”

"Huh, you always say that."

"hey-hey."

"By the way, what does Brother Gu Yuan think of Little Eight?"

"It's okay, it helps me a lot."

"Then... do you want to take in Little Eight Sister?"

"Ah? What nonsense are you talking about?"

The young man pinched the beautiful woman's face and smiled silently.

"Hmph, don't tell me you don't want to. Since we both love each other, why not? Although I'm a little jealous, it doesn't matter. As long as Brother Gu Yuan has me in his heart, that's all that matters."

"Really?" the young man asked awkwardly.

"Humph! You still don't admit it."

…

It's over, and as the author, I feel relieved. Even though it was a flop and the ending wasn't perfect, it doesn't matter. I will try my best to write a better work next time.

Goodbye, see you again!
