Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 759: The whole nation mourns
However, there was no need for Ye Huang to explain, as Gu Xu had already guessed her intention.
She is using her "secret" authority to try to hide Gu Xu outside the rules in the face of the backlash of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and avoid this fatal threat.
"You... stop it now..." Gu Xu said weakly. Every word seemed to be squeezed out of his throat with difficulty, as if saying these few words had exhausted his last bit of strength.
He didn't want the Night Emperor to be involved in his confrontation with the backlash of the Great Dao.
Even he, who was only one step away from the ninth realm, could hardly withstand this terrifying force, let alone the Night Emperor who currently only possessed three powers.
But Ye Huang completely ignored him.
She seemed to be suddenly possessed by a demon, and desperately wanted to use her power to confront the Dao of Heaven and Earth head-on.
"Think about it...our children..." Gu Xu said again.
Hearing the words "our children", Ye Huang was finally stunned for a moment and stopped.
She was a little dazed at the moment.
She was obviously with him for the sake of her children, for the benefit of the tribe, and to continue her bloodline.
But today, when he was dying, she almost forgot about the baby in her belly, and only his face, as pale as paper, was in her mind.
At the same time, Zhao Yan, Shangguan Jin and Xiao Wanjun also arrived at the palace one after another.
They gathered around Gu Xu's bed, looking anxious and nervous, their eyes fixed on him without leaving his body.
Behind them, Jiang Zhaoyue also followed quietly.
Because her relationship with Gu Xu as "pretending to be a Taoist couple" was still hidden in the dark and not known to everyone, she hesitated in front of the door for a moment.
However, when she found that everyone's eyes were fixed on Gu Xu and no one noticed her at all, she felt relieved, quickly stepped over the threshold, and gently squeezed to the side of the bed.
When her eyes fell on Gu Xu's face, which was bleeding, covered with black lines, and looked like broken porcelain, she couldn't help but scream in a low voice. She covered her eyes with both hands in panic, as if she couldn't accept the scene in front of her.
After a moment, she slowly lowered her hands, her eyes full of disbelief and a bit of concern that she herself was not even aware of.
At this time, Jiang Zhaoyue noticed that her sister, who always loved cleanliness and paid great attention to her image, actually wiped the blood from the corner of Gu Xu's mouth with her own hands.
What shocked her even more was that her sister's belly was slightly bulging!
"My sister is pregnant?" She widened her eyes, feeling confused and uncertain. "When did it happen?"
Relying on the blood connection between her and her sister, and the dragon clan's keen perception of the aura of the Tao, she almost instantly confirmed that the child's father was Gu Xu.
All along, the elder sister has deliberately concealed the relationship between herself and Gu Xu by using the power of "secret" so that Jiang Zhaoyue would not be aware of it.
But today, Ye Huang's entire attention was on Gu Xu, and he was so careless that he forgot to use the "secret" authority to cover up his slightly bulging belly, nor did he notice Jiang Zhaoyue appearing at the foot of the bed.
She took out a crystal clear pill from her sleeve. It shone with golden and green light like colored glass, and ancient dragon patterns were faintly flowing on the surface, as if there was an invisible dragon breath surrounding it.
"This is the 'Canglong Huitian Pill', which is unique to the dragon clan of the Lingxiao Realm," she said as she fed the pill to Gu Xu's mouth, "As long as you still have a breath left, just one pill can turn the tide of life or death." Gu Xu tilted his head slightly, clenched his teeth, and refused to take the pill with a firm attitude.
He knew that this "Canglong Huitian Pill" was originally made for the dragon race, and its effect would be greatly reduced if used on humans.
Besides, he was now targeted by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and no elixir would help. Rather than wasting such a precious thing, it would be better to leave it to Ye Huang or the child to save his life at a critical moment.
Ye Huang forced the pill into his mouth, obviously on impulse, with a desperate attempt mentality.
At this time, Han Shunxi, the eunuch in charge of the seal, hurried to the bedroom, bowed and whispered: "Your Majesty, ladies, hundreds of people have gathered outside the gate of Changchun Garden. They are holding various precious medicinal herbs in their hands, saying that they want to save your Majesty's life. No matter how we try to persuade them, they are determined not to leave."
Before Han Shunxi finished speaking, Gu Xu frowned slightly, not knowing whether it was because of the pain in his body or because of what he reported.
"Who are they? What medicinal herbs did they bring?" Shangguan Jin glanced at Gu Xu's expression and asked for him.
Han Shunxi answered cautiously: "The leader is an octogenarian who claims to be a herbal farmer who has been collecting herbs for generations. He brought a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum that has been treasured for generations.
"There were two others. One of them was carrying a ginseng with roots as thick as a dragon. It was said to have been picked from the top of a cliff. The other was holding a snowy mountain plum fruit. It was said to be a rare treasure in the snowy region that could dispel all kinds of poisons and prolong one's lifespan...
"These people knelt at the gate of Changchun Garden and refused to stand up. They said that Your Majesty was a monarch respected by all people and had saved people from danger. He was their benefactor. Now that Your Majesty was seriously injured, they had no way to repay him. They were only willing to do their best to offer this humble gift.

"They also said that if Your Majesty did not accept these herbs, they would kneel there until the end of time."
After listening to Han Shunxi's report, a complicated look flashed in Gu Xu's eyes.
He raised one hand slightly, and said in a weak but clear voice: "These herbs...cannot be collected."
Han Shunxi's face suddenly became anxious when he heard this, and he couldn't help but persuade him: "Your Majesty! The Great Wilderness can be without anyone, but it can't be without you! These things are treasures in the world, maybe they can really save your life, why don't you give it a try?"
Gu Xu lowered his eyelids slightly, his tone revealing a bit of fatigue: "I appreciate their kindness... but... but I am now a useless person, these medicinal herbs... really don't need to be wasted on me.
"You go and persuade them to go back, and say... just say that this is my order... If anyone disobeys the order, they will be punished according to the law..."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Han Shunxi felt the unquestionable majesty contained in Gu Xu's weak words, and immediately bowed and responded respectfully.
But the moment he spoke, his nose felt sore and a drop of salty tear flowed into his mouth involuntarily.
Fragments of the past emerged in his mind: His Majesty had changed his destiny and personally taught him the method of cultivation.
He thought that he would serve His Majesty for the rest of his life and witness His Majesty create an unprecedented glorious era in the Great Wilderness World.
But who would have thought that His Majesty would actually walk ahead of him.
A deep sorrow surged in his heart. Han Shunxi really didn't dare to think about what the Great Wilderness would be like without His Majesty. He even less dared to think about what he would do if His Majesty was lost in the palace.
"Wait..." Just as Han Shunxi turned around and was about to leave, Gu Xu called out in a low voice.
