“Brother Jiang, you can’t do this!” The Wood Commander dash over, shouting as he saw his backer about to abandon him.

Only then did Jiang Li remember that there was indeed a commander surnamed Wood in the Imperial Palace.

“The Imperial Palace only has five members in the Body Integration Realm. If I’m gone, it would only be four members left!”

“Thank you for teaching me that five minus one is four.” Jiang Li expressed his sincerity.

The Imperial Palace is a neutral organization. Once you join the Imperial Palace, you have to sever ties with your original power.

Conversely, if a member of the Imperial Palace joins another power, they will automatically lose their status as a member of the Imperial Palace.

However, there are always exceptions. For instance, if Jiang Li announced he was going to marry into the Gu tribe, everyone wouldn’t see it as Jiang Li leaving the Imperial Palace to join the Gu Tribe, they would see it as the Gu Tribe joining the Imperial Palace.

“I’ve made contributions for the Imperial Palace! I’ve shed blood for the Imperial Palace! Brother Jiang, you must save me!”

The Wood Commander was not lying.

Despite the unreliable performance of the several Body Integration Realm Commanders of the Imperial Palace, they were all veterans who had served the previous Human Emperor, risked their lives to resist the attacks of the Heavenly Demon, and nearly lost their lives.

“How could I marry a woman I’ve never met?” Wood Commander vowed to heaven. From now on, he would never mingle with low-level practitioners again.

“The way you say it makes our Clan Leader sound ugly!” The High Priest used his Divine Sense to construct the image of the Gu tribe’s Clan Leader, a woman with a ravishing face and voluptuous body, wearing the lazy smile often seen on mature women.

Sorry, I take back my vows. Wood Commander hurriedly retracts his words.

Alright, we never met, we never met. Everything is fate, as cultivators, we should follow the will of heaven. Wood Commander clenched his teeth and agreed to the marriage.

“According to the High Priest, the Clan Leader and the chosen girls did not appear in the Gu Immortal Secret Realm, how did they contract the Love Gu?”

The High Priest explained: “The Human Emperor is unaware, the Love Gu is difficult to cultivate, even for our Gu tribe it is a rarity. Therefore, the rules of the Gu tribe stipulate that the most outstanding woman of the same generation can cultivate the Love Gu, to bind a lover.”

“There was no problem with this initially, after all, there hadn’t been anyone who could break through the last barrier of the Gu Immortal Secret Realm and receive the final reward for many years.”

“Who would’ve thought that this time, two of them would emerge. Qin Luan, our young friend, was the first one to pass the test and received the Love Gu which binds him to the girl. Wood Commander was the second one to pass the test, and got the Love Gu that binds him to the Clan Leader.”

“So, are there any more Love Gus if someone else breaks through the last barrier?”

The High Priest affirmed: ‘Yes, the most outstanding woman of our previous generation is still here.”

“Where is the Clan Leader?” Jiang Li used his Divine Sense but didn’t find any female who matched the image provided by the High Priest in the Gu tribe.

“She left the tribe.”

“What?”

“She said that it was time for the Gu Tribe to come out of seclusion and that it was necessary to explore the outside world. Following these words, she left the Gu tribe, and no one knows her whereabouts. It has been half a year.”

“Oh, I’m familiar with that, your Clan Leader has the same style as our Hall Master. He never stays in the Imperial Palace.” Words slipped out of Wood Commander’s mouth, and a chill ran down his spine.

He suddenly remembered that the “Hall Master” he was just talking about was right here.

“Bro, Bro Jiang, I didn’t mean it that way.” Wood Commander stuttered.

“Don’t be scared, I’m not upset.” Jiang Li grinned and patted Wood Commander’s shoulder. “I just want to see how a Body Integration Realm member would explode if a marriage doesn’t take place within ten days.”

Wood Commander suddenly realized what was going on; whether it is a wedding or severing the Love Gu, firstly, it’s required for the person to exist.

Now that the Clan Leader has disappeared, isn’t he doomed?

Wood Commander was not calm anymore. The hearts of the Gu tribe people were too big, they weren’t even planning on looking for their missing Clan Leader.

Aren’t you guys taking any measures when we can at least contact the Human Emperor using the Remote Communication Talisman?

“Haha, don’t worry.” Seeing Wood Commander’s injured state, the High Priest laughed. “Before our Clan Leader left, she left behind a Life Gu and Tracking Gu. The Life Gu guarantees that the Clan Leader is alive, and the Tracking Gu allows us at any time to find the location of our Clan Leader.”

Wood Commander was still not at ease. He didn’t have much understanding of magical insects, and couldn’t be convinced by only based on the words of the High Priest.

“Come, I will take you guys to the Clan Leader’s bamboo loft.”

The Gu Tribe’s houses consisted of two-storey bamboo lofts. The loft is elevated to prevent ground moisture, and the bottom part is typically not for dwelling; it’s reserved for livestock rearing. The living quarters are upstairs.

On reaching the second floor of the bamboo loft, the High Priest introduced: “Please look, this is the Life Gu, it’s still alive, which means our Clan Leader is safe.”

“And this is the Tracking Gu; it’s also alive. You can find the Clan Leader anytime you want.”

The High Priest proudly showed off the magical insects.

While he was speaking, both the magical insects died simultaneously.

The High Priest and Wood Commander nearly had their eyes pop out in shock.

“Is the Clan Leader dead?!”

“Am I going to die?!”

Both blurted out words, although different, they both inferred the answers from the situation at hand.

Jiang Li blinked, wondering why the insects had died so suddenly.

At that moment, Commander Liu was calling Jiang Li, and Jiang Li answered the Remote Communication Talisman.

“Hall Master, you asked me earlier how much gift money you should give when you attend a subordinate’s wedding. Given that very few commanders of our Imperial Palace get married, the most recent ones were the two commanders Ma Zhuo, but that was also hundreds of years ago. Further considering the issue of inflation, the variances in customs across nine states, I did the math, and you probably need..

“Oh, no need, there’s been a change in circumstances. Let’s prepare a banquet for the whole palace. Also get a tombstone ready, use good material, do not skimp on the Spirit Stones, it’s for Wood Commander. Engrave this epitaph: ‘In life, he was heavier than Mount Tai; in death, he was lighter than a feather.’ ”

“Also, although the Gu tribe has nothing to do with the Imperial Palace, and Wood Commander did not get married to the Gu tribe’s Clan Leader, they did share an engaged couple’s affinity. If the Gu tribe comes out of seclusion in the future, we should take care of them in remembrance of Wood Commander’s spirit in heaven.”

Commander Liu looked at Wood Commander, who was still alive and standing next to him, noted Jiang Li’s words, and ended the communication.

“Alright, stop gaping. Things aren’t as serious as you think.” Jiang Li laughed. He had just been joking with Commander Liu earlier.

Given Commander Liu’s wisdom, he could certainly tell that he was joking and wouldn’t really prepare those things.

“If the Clan Leader of the Gu tribe were truly dead, wouldn’t Wood Commander have exploded immediately instead of being unscathed till now?”

Even if Jiang Li didn’t understand magical insects, he understood the logic of an Immortal.

An Immortal would surely cultivate a Love Gu to relate to the host’s life, otherwise, if someone isn’t happy about being forcefully married off by the Immortal, wouldn’t they just kill the woman involved?

If the Clan Leader dies, the Love Gu within her would also die.

If the Love Gu on one side dies, it would activate a curse on the other side that would make the host explode.

Since Wood Commander is still alive, the Clan Leader must not have died.

Both the High Priest and Wood Commander were too worried to figure this out for a moment. Jiang Li, who was just an outsider, had figured it out as soon as he saw the two insects die.

The High Priest, being a member of the Gu tribe, also figured it out.

“The Clan Leader should still be alive, but she must have been struck by the

Restriction Gu or severing insect-type techniques, hence the two insects died.”

Typically, magical insects wouldn’t experience this kind of situation. These two insects are special as their lives completely depend on their master. If the master does not provide energy, they would die instantly..
