And Gu Zongren... was the perfect scapegoat!
When the time came, Gu Zongren could deal with the Bounty Guild's endless bickering! Xu Luo did not want to kill him directly either. Having controlled the Divine Maiden Tower for so many years, Gu Zongren had too many loyal subordinates; they were all his people. If he died and Xue Chuqing took over the Divine Maiden Tower, she would undoubtedly have to expend a massive amount of effort to reorganize it.
Xu Luo cherished his woman. Since there was a ready-made enforcer available, why not use him? As for whether Gu Zongren would resist or rebel, Xu Luo was not worried in the slightest. By planting a wisp of Celestial Blue Fire inside his body, his life and death would be entirely out of his own control, unless he had a death wish!
However... how could someone with ambitions to conquer the world be willing to die so easily?
