Even though Gu Yang now controlled the entire Qingyun State, he had only tasked Shi Zhen with assembling a Heavenly Gang Army composed entirely of the Blood Refining Realm, numbering thirty-six thousand strong.
This was the true elite of Qingyun State.
Or rather,
it was the elite of the elite.
With Shi Zhen leading them, a grandmaster adept with the essence of blood and qi, and combining their might with the Heavenly Gang Divine Evil Array, surrounding and annihilating a True Intent Master posed no problem.
That's right,
Shi Zhen had already ascended to the Grandmaster Realm.
Two years ago,
with a lavish investment of resources and the martial arts provided by Gu Yang, Shi Zhen had successfully shattered the barrier to Refining Organ and was ennobled as a master.
Moreover,
this was not just any Innate Grandmaster, but a grandmaster in the blood and qi path.
This was the first genuine Grandmaster Realm powerhouse that Gu Yang had cultivated.
