Since Nie Li had already escaped, what was there to worry about?

The Demon Alliance and Heavenly Path Alliance split into dozens of groups, all rushing outward while fighting and retreating.
After a headcount, the Heavenly Path Alliance and Demon Alliance had lost over five thousand, while their own side had suffered more than six thousand casualties.
Three Divine Pools were gone, and yet they had lost more people than the Heavenly Path Alliance and Demon Alliance combined. Gu Heng was utterly depressed.
Gu Heng watched the Heavenly Path Alliance and Demon Alliance vanish into the distant horizon, a flash of fury in his eyes. "If this were a simple blood feud, the family elders might stay out of it. But destroying people's Divine Pools — I refuse to believe the elders will sit idle! Gu Bei, let's see if you can keep that position of First Heir!"

"Impeach me?" Gu Bei was taken aback.
"It seems to be because the Heavenly Path Alliance and Demon Alliance destroyed three of their Divine Pools!" Gu Teng reported.
Gu Bei frowned. Destroying Divine Pools — that had never happened before. It was indeed a bit excessive. But what about Gu Heng poisoning his sister? That was the truly cruel and vicious act. This was simply reaping what one had sown!
