Chapter 847 450: After Shearing the Sheep, You Have to Eat the Mutton!
In the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed in chaos, and the entire Xuandao Alliance was a mess.
Everyone acted as if they'd swallowed gunpowder; sometimes they would start fighting just because the other person passed by without greeting them, even going for the kill.
The environment was awash with material desires, execution in chaos.
In response, Gu Shanhai referred to this as having a fish eating many times over.
Not only did he use "Miaoyuan Technique" for cultivation, but he could also devour the emotions it scattered, which, though a mere snack, added some small flavor.
Over the years, Gu Shanhai ran back and forth, strengthening himself and securing his position on the ancestral star while searching for traces of the "Blood Returning Technique," treating it as a form of relaxation.
To his surprise, he found quite a lot of information and intelligence, at least enough to confirm that the 139 concept power holders of the Xuandao Alliance were not the founders but successors who accepted the legacy.
Gu Shanhai also delved deeper into analyzing these real rulers, who seemed to be scrutinizing something from behind the scenes.
He conducted Soul Searches, discovering their memories were hugely problematic, as they themselves didn't know what they were scrutinizing, only understanding they must hide and then strengthen the Xuandao Alliance.
He suspected it was the concept inherited from legacy causing this influence, an influence so subtle that even they hadn't noticed.
As for who influenced them, Gu Shanhai suspected it was the creator of the "Blood Returning Technique."
The person has likely long since left the universe where the Xuandao Alliance resides, the reason unclear.
"Dao En Jue has problems," said a shadow.
"People are dead, there's no way to resolve this problem," followed another shadow.
Gu Shanhai watched the meeting, nodding involuntarily, seeing that these 139 people had some skill, taking nearly a year to finally find the problem.
When the Xuandao Alliance was in chaos, these behind-the-scenes individuals had already wanted to intervene but were unaware of the reason the situation had changed so drastically.
Even their subordinates had turned greedy, irritable, jealous, unreasonable, etc.
In short, constantly exuding various negative desires, causing them to face extremely tricky situations.
"What about the fellow who took out the Class A Skills Simulation Master back then? Let him resolve it," said a shadow, implying that since he dared to kill and silence people back then, he had the confidence and must be the one to resolve it.
They completely disregarded Gu Shanhai's life or death, and would have ignored it even if they knew, talent aside, anything obstructing their rule must be eliminated, even if it promised further progress for the Xuandao Alliance.
"Dead, in a massive explosion, the entire family wiped out," said another voice slowly.
With that, the atmosphere in the meeting room paused; if there were no issues here, none would believe it, clearly someone coveted the benefits and went for the kill, though who it was mattered little now.
"Then what to do, that Class A Skills Simulation Master truly deserved death, why didn't he complete the refinement of the cultivation technique before dying," another voice came, with an irritated tone.
Gu Shanhai quickly locked onto this person, badmouthing him, and even to his face; if he hadn't known, it would be nothing, but now knowing, he ensured this person would learn what it meant to have trouble come from careless speech.
He then used Five Elements Great Escape to instantly move to the person's true location.
Reaching out, he crushed the person, replacing them in the meeting room position, wanting to see if anyone would dare continue to badmouth him, and the moment one started, he would kill them.
"Heh, if someone hadn't doted on his great-great-great-grandson, this wouldn't have happened," said another in the meeting, with an eerie tone.
"You mean to imply I acted improperly?" The leading shadow's tone was calm yet carried a hint of arrogance.
Evidently, it was this person who suppressed these matters.
"Only one survivor, I thought I wiped them all out." Gu Shanhai pursed his lips, immediately sending the other off.
He previously thought he'd sent their entire family off, unexpectedly finding a senior still alive.
"No, no, how could I dare, it's just that this disaster was caused by your great-great-great-grandson, solving it isn't right for us," the person spoke, appearing cautious yet firm.
With this statement, the others also showed agreement; the initial cause, if not for the other's grandson wanting to use the genius researcher persona to gain power and deliberately persecuting others, they would have ended up with the "Dao En Jue" free from side effects and a true genius researcher.
Instead of having nothing and falling into such troubles.
Previously turning a blind eye was for the greater good; now the direction of the greater good had shifted, naturally they jumped back, since they hadn't done it, the double standards mattered little.
Five minutes flew by, leaving everyone puzzled at the lack of response, the previous arrogance with which he overlooked the world made it unlikely he would react with silence; surely he would rebuke without hesitation and assert that others shouldn't interfere with his actions.
After ten minutes passed, the ill feeling began to weigh on the crowd.
"Not good, could something have happened?" said one voice, slightly tense.
"With his strength, what could possibly go wrong, perhaps just disdain to reply to me," the previously eerie voice reappeared, but this time the speaker wasn't the original, it was Gu Shanhai.
