Chapter 3397: Whoever Dares to Disobey, Directly Suppress Them

The great formation enveloping the Cold Water Holy Land rumbled non-stop, and plum blossoms appeared from within the formation.

Gu Hanyu's eyes showed surprise, "Hanjing has awakened her Cold Plum bloodline."

Little Mei pretended to be mature, with an elderly manner, "Naturally awakening the Cold Plum bloodline, it seems the candidate for the next Holy Lord has appeared."

Gu Hanyu said, "Plum Ancestor, you mean Jing'er?"

Little Mei immediately corrected her, "Master's Wife, don't call me Plum Ancestor. I'm Little Mei, not the Plum Ancestor."

"Master's Wife should know, there's an unwritten rule in the Holy Land. If someone can awaken the Cold Plum bloodline at the fourth level of Dao Venerable, they qualify to become the next Holy Lord."

"Now Master's Wife is about to step down, and Jing'er has just awakened her Cold Plum bloodline. Isn't this perfect?"

Gu Hanyu frowned. From her expression, she clearly didn't know about what Little Mei was saying.

Gu Hanyu muttered to herself, "There's such a rule in the Holy Land? How come I don't know about it?"

Little Mei said, "Maybe those elders didn't tell you. But it's understandable. Historically, very few people could awaken the Cold Plum bloodline at the fourth level of Dao Venerable. Master's Wife didn't awaken it then either, right?"

Indeed, Gu Hanyu hadn't awakened the Cold Plum bloodline at the fourth level of Dao Venerable. In fact, in the recent hundreds of thousands of years, no one had awakened the Cold Plum bloodline at the fourth level of Dao Venerable.

Basically, those who could awaken the Cold Plum bloodline all did so after becoming elders, in the Nine Extremes Glacier.

Lin Moyu could hear that the Gu family valued their Cold Plum bloodline highly.

In fact, those with the Cold Plum bloodline cultivated faster and their spells were more powerful.

Gu Hanyu didn't doubt Little Mei's words. After all, Little Mei's previous life was as the Plum Ancestor, so she would naturally know more than herself.

Gu Hanyu was already thinking about whether it was appropriate for Gu Hanjing to be the new Holy Lord.

Lin Moyu saw through Gu Hanyu's thoughts and said softly with a smile, "If Jing'er becomes the Holy Lord, she might be more suitable than you."

Gu Hanyu looked over, "Why do you say that?"

Lin Moyu said, "You're strong but lack gentleness. Think about it, after you became Holy Lord, things stabilized a lot at first, but in the recent thousands of years, hasn't chaos gradually increased?"

"I've looked at your Holy Land's history. When you first became Holy Lord, it was just after the conflict with the Question Dao Sect ended."

"In that great war, the Cold Water Holy Land won by luck, but suffered great damage itself. At that time, some small forces within the Holy Land showed signs of restlessness."

"At that time, you used harsh methods, decisive in killing, suppressing several forces, making those fellows not dare to have different thoughts. At that time, your approach wasn't wrong."

"But later you always maintained these harsh, decisive methods, which was a bit too much and didn't benefit the Holy Land much."

Lin Moyu spoke very gently, as if telling a story, stating a fact.

Listening to Lin Moyu's words, Gu Hanyu thought back on what had happened in the recent thousands of years, and it did seem to be so.

Her methods were too harsh. In the recent thousands of years, there had been more and more unrest within the Holy Land's sphere of influence.

Gu Hanyu said softly, "I know harsh methods aren't good, but sometimes, quick and decisive action is most effective. History tells me that being indecisive is even worse."

Lin Moyu chuckled, "Who told you to be indecisive? The correct approach should be to win over some, strike down others, let enemies fight enemies, while you as the ruler should observe from above."

"There's a game called cockfighting. When two roosters are fighting, have you ever seen the owner get involved personally?"

Gu Hanyu had to admit that Lin Moyu's words made sense.

She suddenly stretched, revealing her long white neck, and let out a very alluring sigh, "Anyway, I'm about to stop being Holy Lord. How the next Holy Lord does things, I don't care anymore."

At this moment, Gu Hanyu seemed to shed the halo of Holy Lord, revealing a bit of a young woman's demeanor.

Lin Moyu said, "Yes, you've achieved your goals and are retiring. After that, let the flood come."

Gu Hanyu glared at Lin Moyu, "Talking nonsense. Whether I'm Holy Lord or not, I'm still a member of the Gu family."

Lin Moyu smiled without responding. Jokes should stop at the right point and not go too far.

Some auras rapidly approached. Elder Cang and Ice Ancestor arrived together.

Gu Hanjing's awakening of the Cold Plum bloodline had caused the formation to resonate, alerting the two.

The appearance of the Cold Plum bloodline was a big event, so they immediately rushed over.

Seeing the owner of the Cold Plum bloodline, both were uncertain and surprised.

Ice Ancestor asked Gu Hanyu, "Holy Lord, is Hanjing better?"

Gu Hanyu nodded, "She's already better. Not only better, but she's also turned misfortune into blessing, greatly advancing her cultivation and awakening the Cold Plum bloodline."

Ice Ancestor couldn't believe it. She had also looked at Gu Hanjing's problem and had no solution. She couldn't help but ask, "How did Hanjing get better?"

Gu Cang interjected, "Do you need to ask? It must have been young friend Lin who acted. Besides young friend Lin, who else could have such great ability?"

Gu Cang had already praised Lin Moyu to the skies. In his view, no matter what Lin Moyu did, it wasn't surprising.

Gu Hanyu also added, "It was my husband who cured Jing'er. Ice Ancestor, Hanyu has something to ask. Now that Jing'er has awakened the Cold Plum bloodline, can she become the new Holy Lord?"

Ice Ancestor didn't even think, "Of course. There's a rule in the Holy Land. As long as one awakens the Cold Plum bloodline before becoming an elder, they qualify to become Holy Lord."

"It's perfect that you're about to step down. This position of Holy Lord, let's give it to Hanjing."

The position of Holy Lord that others dream of was so casual in Ice Ancestor's mouth, giving it to whoever she wanted.

It's understandable. After all, to these elders, who becomes Holy Lord doesn't actually matter that much. If there's really any big event, it's still these elders who take charge.

Of course, the Holy Lord is still the nominal leader. Gu Hanyu's thunderous methods from back then are still terrifyingly infamous among the people.

Gu Hanyu still had some doubts, "But Jing'er is only at the fourth level of Dao Venerable. I'm afraid she won't be able to keep those fellows in check."

"Those fellows" included people both inside and outside the Holy Land. The fourth level of Dao Venerable was indeed a bit low.

But Ice Ancestor didn't care at all, "Rules are rules. After Hanjing becomes Holy Lord, this ancestor will sit in support beside her. Whoever dares to disobey, directly suppress them."

Ice Ancestor was like Gu Hanyu, decisive in killing. Whoever disobeyed would be directly killed, maybe not even given a chance to explain.

Gu Cang said, "You old woman, can you stop talking about killing all the time? Can't we sit down and talk things out properly?"

Ice Ancestor snorted coldly, "What's there to talk about? What's the point of keeping people who don't obey?"

Gu Hanyu said, "Ice Ancestor, Hanyu has some thoughts. Your approach isn't wrong, but sometimes it's not very appropriate. My husband is right, different times require different methods. If Jing'er really takes the position of Holy Lord, you should listen to Jing'er on some matters."

Ice Ancestor looked at Gu Hanyu, pondered for a few seconds, "She's the Holy Lord, naturally the Holy Land's affairs are for her to manage. The elders are only responsible for taking action, not managing other things."

Although still very strong, this was actually a compromise.

Gu Hanyu bowed to Ice Ancestor, "Hanyu thanks Ice Ancestor."

The formation's vibrations became more and more intense. Countless plum blossoms suddenly exploded, then an even larger plum blossom formed, rotating non-stop in the sky.

Such unusual activity attracted the attention of everyone in the Cold Water Holy Land. Even some who were in closed cultivation were awakened.
