However,
such news did not cause much of a stir.
After all, the minor changes in the Gu Family Manor were trivial compared to the current affairs in the Martial World of the Nine States.
Back at the Gu Family Manor,
Gu Qingfeng once again entered seclusion.
----
Days and months passed.
Time flowed swiftly.
Three months later,
Gu Yang had officially unified the entire Qingyun State, becoming a top-tier lord, and the reputation of the Prince of Guangyang sent shockwaves across the world, drawing attention from all quarters.
However,
after occupying the entire Qingyun State, Gu Yang did not rush to wage war against the Central State but instead changed his previous offensive approach, focusing on the development of internal affairs.
Under such circumstances, Qingyun State, after more than a decade of war, finally regained a brief peace.
Likewise,
Gu Yang also issued an order, offering a reward for any Evil Spirits and anomalies discovered; whoever reported the trace of such entities, upon verification, would receive a certain reward.
These rewards could include silver or exceptional martial arts skills.
If one could eliminate the anomalies and subdue the Evil Spirits, the reward would be even more substantial.
Thus,
many martial artists in the Martial World were immensely delighted.
Since the rise of magicians and the decline of Martial Arts, many martial arts inheritances had been controlled by the top sects, and ordinary martial artists hardly had any opportunities for further advancement.
This issue was ultimately due to a lack of martial arts.
But now,
Gu Yang openly offered numerous martial arts as rewards, which gave these people a glimpse of hope.
Therefore,
for a time,
a wave of cleansing the anomalies and Evil Spirits erupted in Qingyun State.
Any disclosed movements of Evil Spirits or anomalies attracted a large number of martial artists.
Compared to merely reporting the trace of Evil Spirits and anomalies, the rewards for eliminating and subduing them were significantly richer.
So,
many, upon discovering traces of Evil Spirits or anomalies, first thought of relying on their own strength to subdue these entities.
Of course,
for ordinary martial artists, Evil Spirits cannot be slain and require gold as a vessel for suppression.
Previously, gold was controlled by many top powers and was not easily circulated, but since Gu Yang took over Qingyun State, restrictions on the circulation of gold had been lifted.
With this,
some martial artists could also obtain a portion of gold to use as vessels to subdue the Evil Spirits.
If they encountered powerful Evil Spirits that they couldn’t handle, they would only report them and wait for the powerful individuals from the Guangyang Army to arrive and take care of them.
The current Prince of Guangyang also had many strong supporters.
Not only was there a Martial Arts Grandmaster like the Sword Daoist stationed there, but there were also many Master-level experts maintaining order; even if powerful Evil Spirits appeared, they could hardly stir up much trouble.
In just a few months,
the number of Evil Spirits and anomalies in Qingyun State had sharply decreased by ninety percent.
With neither Evil Spirits and anomalies causing chaos nor the ravages of war, the people of Qingyun State finally had the chance to recuperate and rejuvenate.
Such practices
also led to a substantial increase in Gu Yang’s popularity among the populace.
...
"You have new offspring born!"
Inside the Gu Family Manor, Gu Qingfeng glanced at the refreshed text on the information panel, and a smile instantly appeared on his face.
"It seems that Yang’er’s two children have finally been born!"
Immediately,
Gu Qingfeng came out of seclusion.
This time,
he went directly to the Prefecture.
When Gu Qingfeng arrived at the Prince Mansion, he saw that it was festively decorated, and everyone’s faces brimmed with joyful smiles.
Upon Gu Qingfeng’s arrival, someone quickly reported to Gu Yang, who hurried over.
"Father!"
"I calculated the time of the child’s birth, and it seems I haven’t arrived too late!"
Gu Qingfeng replied with a casual smile, quickly fabricating a reason for his arrival.
Met with this,
Gu Yang did not harbor any doubts.
After all, a ten-month pregnancy was predictable, and it was normal for Gu Qingfeng to be able to determine the timing.
"Father! You’ve arrived just in time; the two children were just born, and I was hoping you would give them names!"
Gu Yang immediately had someone bring the two children over.
Gu Qingfeng looked at the two babies in their swaddling clothes, his expression softened somewhat, as they say, affection skips a generation; he inherently felt a sense of closeness to the two children before him.
Soon,
Gu Qingfeng checked them and discovered both were boys; he then gently channeled some of his True Qi into their bodies, his face revealed a smile once again.
"Both children have good genetic talents, much better than yours!"
Hearing Gu Qingfeng’s words, Gu Yang also showed a smile.
Although it was a praise for his sons, Gu Yang found it very joyful to hear.
Immediately after,
Gu Qingfeng pondered for a moment, then said, "The eldest shall be named Shengxing, and the younger Shengan!"
"Shengxing, Shengan... Thank you, father, for the names!"
Gu Yang repeated the names, nodding his head.
Prospering the country and bringing peace to the state!
Indeed, as Gu Yang had hoped.
Therefore,
the names of the two children were decided.
Afterward,
Gu Qingfeng looked at the two, then flicked his fingers, and a drop of fresh blood split into two, falling into the centers of their foreheads.
"This drop of blood contains a fraction of my power, enough to ensure they are invulnerable to all evil."
This was
not something Gu Qingfeng made up.
This content is taken from freёwebnovel.com.
At his level of cultivation, his blood was pure and yang; a single drop could keep all evil at bay, daring not to approach.
Initially, the Evil Slayer Blade could directly slay Evil Spirits because it contained a drop of Gu Qingfeng’s Essence Blood.
The same
was true for this drop of blood.
It was also a drop of Gu Qingfeng’s own Essence Blood.
