Chapter 75 Gu Liuli Conquers the People of the Blood Fiend Palace
Gu Liuli, accompanied by the temporary palace master Lu Yifan and Xiao Jingchuan, quietly arrived at the abandoned manor on the outskirts of the capital. As soon as they approached, a fierce argument broke out.
"Lu Yifan is simply outrageous! How can he let a woman become the Palace Master of our Blood Fiend Palace? Isn't he treating the future of our Blood Fiend Palace like a joke?" a guard roared angrily.
“That’s right. The Blood Fiend Palace has always respected the strong. What ability does a woman from out of town have to lead us?” another voice chimed in.
Gu Liuli frowned, exchanged glances with Xiao Jingchuan and Lu Yifan, and the three of them cautiously approached the source of the sound.
It turns out that the Blood Fiend Palace was divided into two factions due to Lu Yifan's decision to appoint Gu Liuli as Palace Master. One side, led by Lu Yifan's confidants, trusted his judgment and believed that Gu Liuli was capable of leading the Blood Fiend Palace to new heights; while the other side, led by the Deputy Palace Master in charge, resolutely opposed Gu Liuli's succession as Palace Master.
Just then, a system notification sounded in Gu Liuli's mind: "Host, mission triggered - quell the current conflict within the Blood Fiend Palace and consolidate your position within the Blood Fiend Palace. Completing the mission will reward you with a mysterious skill enhancement gift pack."
Gu Liuli took a deep breath, quickly calculating in her mind. She knew this was an excellent opportunity to both resolve the Blood Fiend Palace's doubts about her and further explore clues about her origins.
Suddenly, she charged into the crowd, gun provided by the system in hand. The crowd was startled by this unexpected action and fell silent instantly, all eyes turning to Gu Liuli.
"Have you all had enough of arguing!" Gu Liuli shouted, her voice echoing throughout the manor.
The deputy palace master in charge looked at Gu Liuli with disdain and sneered, "How dare you, a mere woman, run wild in the Blood Fiend Palace? Lu Yifan, is this the kind of unruly people you brought?"
Before Lu Yifan could speak, Gu Liuli raised her hand to stop him, her gaze fixed intently on the Deputy Palace Master in charge, and said, "I, Gu Liuli, am not here today to argue with you. You keep saying I didn't..."
"You think you're qualified to be the Palace Master? Then I'd like to see what your so-called qualifications are! Are you trying to sow discord behind the scenes and undermine the unity of the Blood Fiend Palace?"
The deputy palace master's face darkened, and he angrily said, "Hmph, stop trying to argue! The rules of the Blood Fiend Palace are not for you to change at will. You, an outsider, should not even think about taking the position of palace master!"
Gu Liuli sneered, "Since that's the case, then let's see who's the better fighter. If I can defeat you, then you'll all have to listen to me."
The deputy palace master in charge was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Gu Liuli to dare to issue a challenge. He was secretly delighted, feeling that this was a good opportunity to completely drive Gu Liuli out of the Blood Fiend Palace.
"Fine, since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish!" The deputy palace master said, drawing his sword from his waist and flashing towards Gu Liuli.
Gu Liuli remained calm and dodged the fierce attack with a sidestep. At the same time, she swiftly raised her gun, aiming it at the Vice Palace Master in charge. The Vice Palace Master, seeing this, was startled and quickly changed his stance.
He changed tactics, trying to dodge. But Gu Liuli's marksmanship was divine; with a "bang," the bullet grazed his arm, leaving a bloody gash.
Upon seeing this, everyone gasped in astonishment. They hadn't expected Gu Liuli to possess such formidable weapons and skills.
"Is there anyone else who disagrees?" Gu Liuli asked loudly, her gaze sweeping over everyone present.
Some of the guards who had initially supported the deputy palace master began to waver. They looked at the gun in Gu Liuli's hand, their hearts filled with fear.
"Hmph, don't think you're so great just because you have a strange weapon. There are so many of us, are we afraid of you?" one of the guards shouted boldly, and then led several other guards who were just as hypocritical to charge towards Gu Liuli.
Gu Liuli's eyes turned cold, and she pulled the trigger without hesitation. Bullets rained down, and the guards, unable to dodge in time, fell to the ground, all wounded.
"Look at this, this is what happens when you oppose me!" Gu Liuli said loudly, her voice full of authority.
Those who supported Lu Yifan cheered upon seeing this. "Miss Gu is amazing!" "Miss Gu is the true master of our Blood Fiend Palace!"
Lu Yifan looked at Gu Liuli with admiration in his eyes: "I knew Miss Gu was no ordinary person. From now on, Gu Liuli is the Palace Master of our Blood Fiend Palace. Anyone who dares to object again will face my wrath!"
The deputy palace master in charge was shocked and furious as he watched the heavy casualties on his side. But he knew that the situation was hopeless, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "Fine, you win! But don't think you can control the Blood Fiend Palace like this."
Gu Liuli looked at him and said coldly, "Deputy Palace Master in charge, I advise you to behave yourself, otherwise, the next bullet won't just graze you."
Although the deputy palace master in charge was unwilling, he could only swallow his anger for the time being.
At this moment, Xiao Jingchuan stepped forward and whispered to Gu Liuli, "Liuli, are you alright? That was too dangerous."
Gu Liuli smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. This is a good opportunity to resolve the Blood Fiend Palace issue, and I can't miss it."
After this battle, Gu Liuli's prestige in the Blood Fiend Palace greatly increased. Those who had previously opposed her were now afraid of her and dared not act rashly again.
Gu Liuli knew that this was just the beginning. Next, she would need to use the power of the Blood Fiend Palace to further uncover the mystery of her origins, while also dealing with various crises that might arise within the Blood Fiend Palace.
In the days that followed, Gu Liuli began to reorganize the Blood Fiend Palace. Together with Lu Yifan, she formulated a series of new palace rules and strengthened the management and training of the Blood Fiend Palace members.
In the secret chamber of the Blood Fiend Palace, Gu Liuli pondered over the objects related to her origins that she had collected from various sources. At that moment, a system notification rang out in her mind: "Host, the Appraisal System has successfully accumulated enough energy to upgrade the 'Original Background Insight' and 'Interpersonal Assistance' functions. During the upgrade, some functions will be temporarily restricted. Please wait patiently."
As a soft and mysterious light spread through Gu Liuli's consciousness, the system entered upgrade mode. Gu Liuli could feel countless tiny gears rapidly turning and re-grinding within the system, undergoing a complex yet orderly reconstruction.
Before long, the light faded, and the system upgrade was complete.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, the 'Background Insight' function has been upgraded. Now, this function can not only conduct more in-depth analysis of items related to one's background, but also directly trace their historical context."
It is accurate to the specific time, location, and detailed information about the people involved.
Furthermore, the insights gained about characters are no longer limited to superficial connections, but can delve deeper into the hidden emotional ties and causal relationships between them and the host's past. Additionally, in interpersonal relationships, the system can sense the loyalty of others!
Gu Liuli was overjoyed. With loyalty points, she could focus entirely on building her own power. She thought that since she had such a powerful backer as the system, plus the wealth in her space, she could open a restaurant with delicious food and drinks.
