Zhuge Liang's Journey to Dominate the World: Starting from Another World

Kongming smiled slightly and met Gu Zhenzi's gaze. "I am not very capable, but I am willing to be the water that puts out the fire. I wonder if Elder Gu would be willing to move over?"

Then, Kongming presented the Jade Void Seal to Gu Zhenzi with both hands.

Gu Zhenzi remained silent for a long time before finally slowly reaching out to accept the Jade Void Seal.

Seeing this, Kongming knew that the matter was accomplished, and leisurely waved his feather fan.

Gu Zhenzi took the Jade Void Seal, and without even looking at it, handed it directly to Zhao Jingmo.

Zhao Jingmo was overjoyed and trembled as he carefully put it into his bosom.

"The matter of the Jade Void Seal must be kept secret by everyone present! Anyone who dares to divulge even a single word will be utterly destroyed!" Gu Zhenzi's sharp gaze swept over everyone present, his tone icy.

Everyone present felt a chill run down their spines, daring not to utter the slightest objection. Although the Jade Void Seal held little appeal for cultivators, they were all fully aware of its significance and the risks involved.

Finally, Gu Zhenzi's gaze lingered on Kongming.

"Elder Gu, please rest assured, since my master entrusted this item to me, he has never mentioned it to anyone," Kong Ming immediately said.

Gu Zhenzi nodded, assuming that Kongming wouldn't dare to spread the word that the Jade Void Seal was in his hands.

After discussing their plans, Kong Ming and Zhao Jingmo left the Thunder God Sect.

……

"You really don't plan to come back to Yuliang with me?" Kongming slung his feather fan over his back and stared at Su Yao with a complicated expression.

"Kongming, it was you who caused my father's death and the destruction of our sect. Do you think I would return to Yuliang with you?" Su Yao's voice was firm and resolute, her eyes filled with nothing but hatred for Kongming.

Kongming was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I know you hate me, but there are some things I have to do."

"Very well! It's rare to see someone as cunning as you so honest. If you don't kill me today, I won't let you off the hook in the future!" A resolute look flashed across Su Yao's beautiful face.

Back when they were at Qinglan Sect, Su Yao always felt guilty towards Kong Ming. Although the two didn't have much affection for each other, she had always helped Kong Ming intentionally or unintentionally, hoping that one day she could give Kong Ming his freedom.

But she never imagined that Kongming was far more complex than he appeared. He not only manipulated her but also orchestrated everything behind the scenes, leading to the destruction of her sect and her father's death. How could she face this with equanimity? How could she forgive him?

"I'll say it again: you are such a lovely person. It's just that our fate may have to be postponed for a while, but no matter what happens in the future, I will never harm you!"

Kongming gave Su Yao a deep look, then picked up Zhu Ganglie and mounted the flying spirit beast, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Ganglie didn't dare to ask any questions along the way, and soon the flying spirit beast landed at Wolong Manor...

After several months away, Wolong Manor had grown to a considerable size, with various rock buildings arranged in a well-organized manner and its defenses being watertight.

It goes without saying that this was the work of Li Guangling and Zhao Yun.

As soon as Kongming entered the manor, a dozen pretty maids came forward to greet him.

They were dressed in uniform, revealing clothing, and wore polite smiles, appearing well-trained.

"Master, you're finally back." A head maid stepped forward, performing a standard greeting, her voice full of allure.

Kongming shook his head, thinking to himself that Li Guangling was always causing trouble.

Last time, he sent over a handsome young boy and was angrily scolded by Kongming. This time, taking advantage of Kongming's absence, he sent over these beauties. I really don't know what's going on in this guy's head.

Actually, Li Guangling can't be blamed for this. Not long after Kongming arrived in Leizhou, Zhao Jingmo sent a letter and stationed troops outside Leiyin Mountain, which immediately relieved the pressure from Jinshan County.

However, he was not entirely at ease with Kongming and was afraid that he would be betrayed by him. So he spent his days clinging to Zhao Yun, wanting to contribute to the construction of Wolong Manor, hoping that Kongming would benefit from his kindness and be less likely to betray him.

Kongming waved his hand, signaling the maids to leave, only then noticing that Zhu Bajie's eyes were already glazed over, and drool was dripping all over the ground.

Kongming sensed something was wrong. These maids absolutely could not be allowed to stay. If given time, they would surely turn his once-prosperous Crouching Dragon Manor into Crouching Pig Manor. What kind of order would it be if these little piglets ran around everywhere...

Upon returning to the secret chamber, Kongming conjured a jade talisman in his hand with a thought; this was naturally the Jade Void Seal.

How could he easily give away such a treasure? As for the one in Zhao Jingmo's hand, it was just a one-to-one replica of the Jade Void Seal made by Kongming.

This thing is truly wondrous; unless one can uncover its secrets, it is no different from any other ordinary object.

So, Kongming decided to go all out and made more than ten replicas in one go. He also planned to find an opportunity to send one to Li Guangling's father-in-law. At that time, the founding tokens would be flying everywhere, which was exciting to think about.

As for the issue of leaks, Kongming doesn't need to worry about it at all; they understand the consequences better than anyone else...

After news of Kongming's return spread, within two days, Li Guangling, Ji Yizhi, Zhao Yun, Li Muling, and others rushed over from Yuliang City.

"Prime Minister, you're finally back! Otherwise, I would have gone all the way to Jinzhou to look for you..." Zhao Yun said anxiously as soon as they met, his face full of worry.

Kongming smiled slightly, indicating that Zhao Yun need not worry, then his gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Li Guangling.

He frowned slightly; he was indeed having a headache dealing with Li Guangling.

Seeing this, Li Guangling stepped forward, "Master Zhuge has devoted himself to serving me with utmost care, and I have no way to repay him. I wonder if these maids will be of any use this time..."

"Who the hell gave you permission to act on your own? My Wolong Manor is not a place where filth and corruption reside!" Kongming glared at Li Guangling, his voice tinged with displeasure.

Li Guangling was taken aback, then an embarrassed look appeared on his face. He hadn't expected that this sorcerer Zhuge wouldn't eat anything, which put him in a difficult position.

He was scolded for sending a boy last time, so this time he sent a maid instead. He thought that these maids would be enough to make up for his mistake last time and clear Zhuge Kongming's name. But Zhuge Kongming did not appreciate it.

"Xiao Wang just..." Li Guangling wanted to explain, but Kongming had already waved his hand to interrupt him.

Li Muling, standing to the side, had a glint in her eyes. When Li Guangling prepared maids for Zhuge Kongming, she had tried her best to stop him, because in her mind, Kongming had always been a refined and ambitious person, and definitely not someone who was lustful.

Instead, Li Guangling scolded him, saying things like, "Don't be fooled by Kongming's appearance. What man doesn't love beauty?"

“Master Zhuge, my brother meant well, but she mistakenly thought you were just an ordinary mortal!” Li Muling said softly, trying to exonerate Li Guangling.

"Look at you, if only you were half as sensible as Mu Ling!" Kong Ming said, waving his feather fan with a smug look on his face, sounding disappointed.

"Brother, these maids are so nice. It'll save us from having to go to brothels all the time, and getting..." Pigsy, seeing Kongming trying to chase the maids away, finally couldn't sit still any longer...
