Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 786 Going Home

But after seeing what happened to Tian Xiang just now, Huangfu Jiong dared not disobey the request of a ninth-level strong man.

He lowered his head and answered truthfully: "It is true.

"In the territory of our Yanling tribe, there is a Red Phoenix Altar. During the annual sacrifice, the tribe members with the strongest bloodline will be brought to the altar. If they can resonate with the Dao mark left in the altar and trigger strange phenomena in heaven and earth, they can be confirmed as the reincarnation of Red Phoenix Yuanjun, and thus take the opportunity to awaken the power and memory of their previous life.

"However, up to now, no member of the tribe has been able to do this."

Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment and then said: "When is your next sacrifice?"

"Your Majesty, it will be a month later."

"Then go and prepare well. My wife and daughter also have the blood of the Flame Spirit Clan. I will bring them to participate in a month."

Wife and daughter?

Hearing this, everyone present was surprised.

After all, Gu Xu just mentioned that Ye Huang was his Taoist partner.

But as everyone knows, as a member of the Dragon Clan, it is obviously impossible for Ye Huang to have the bloodline of the Yanling Clan.

This undoubtedly shows that in addition to Ye Huang, his Taoist partner, Gu Xu also has a wife.

The Night Emperor, who has always been proud and conceited and even looked down upon by Emperor Ziwei, can now accept sharing a husband with another woman?

To everyone, this was undoubtedly as unbelievable as the sun rising from the west.

However, thinking back on the various shocking events that happened that day, and thinking that Gu Xu was able to kill Tai Shang Haotian who had ruled the Lingxiao Realm for thousands of years, this incident seemed to be just a trivial ripple.

"There is one more thing," Gu Xu was silent for a while, and then continued, "Who is in charge of guarding the blood pool left behind by the demon fairy clan now?"

Huangfu Jiong hesitated for a moment, then forced out a humble smile and replied, "In the past, the people of the Heavenly Palace under the command of Taishang Haotian were responsible for guarding it. Now that the people of the Heavenly Palace have been killed by your Majesty... it has been completely cleared, and this blood pool naturally belongs to your Majesty."

"Then you guys take care of it for me first," Gu Xu instructed, "I'll go there in person in a few days."

What does the Great Wilderness Emperor, a powerful human being at the ninth level, need the blood pool of the demon-immortal clan for?

Could it be that he has researched some mysterious Taoist method that can use the power in the blood pool for his own benefit?

His current strength is enough to sweep both worlds. What will happen if he becomes even stronger?

Everyone present had many questions in their minds.

But no one dared to raise any objection and they all nodded in agreement.

"Everyone, disperse now," Gu Xu waved his hand and said calmly, "I have to go back to the Great Wilderness to deal with some things first. Everyone, take care of yourselves."

Hearing this, the leaders of various forces bowed in greeting and then disappeared from the spot.

Gu Xu's eyes swept across the mountain that had become empty again, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

There are still many deep-rooted problems in the Lingxiao Realm, which obviously cannot be solved overnight with just a few words. After all, even Taishang Haotian and Ziwei Emperor spent thousands of years to completely eliminate these problems.

What's more, the incense of Lingxiao Realm today was snatched from Taishang Haotian by him with the help of the power of cause and effect. Most of the people's awe of him comes from fear, and it is obviously far less stable than the Great Wilderness.

However, his power has already surpassed that of Taishang Haotian and Ziwei Emperor back then.

In the wilderness where conditions were even more difficult, he was able to rise from obscurity and restore order.

He firmly believed that as long as he was given some more time, he would be able to transform the Lingxiao Realm into his ideal state.

"Your Majesty, are we... going home now?" Chen Suhui on the side pondered for a moment and asked cautiously.

She has been in Lingxiao Realm for several years.

The word "home" seemed to have become somewhat distant to her.

"Of course," Gu Xu smiled and asked in a relaxed tone, "Where else do you want to go?"

After he finished speaking, he paused and continued, "Su Hui, you have made great contributions in this battle. Have you ever thought about what reward you want?"

Reward?

Chen Suhui lowered her head and thought for a while.

To be honest, she had never thought about this issue.

She always believed that her actions were just to repay His Majesty for saving her life. As a person who had faced the threat of death since birth, she had never been interested in money, official positions, or even spiritual practice.

Now, the only thing that can arouse her interest is...

……

At this moment, the sunlight shone onto Chen Suhui through the gaps in the branches and leaves of the trees beside her, as if coating her with a layer of soft halo, making her skin look so white that it was almost transparent.

The breeze blew gently, and the goose yellow dress swayed in the wind. The black hair brushed against her fair cheek, which made her feel a little itchy.

"Your Majesty, I..."

She raised her head and looked at Gu Xu, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?" Gu Xu looked at her and said, "If you have any wish that you want to fulfill, just tell me. Now, there is nothing in this world that I can't do. Even if you want the stars in the sky, I can pick them for you."

"Your Majesty..." Chen Suhui spoke again in a soft voice, as thin as a mosquito's buzz.

Her hands clenched and unclenched involuntarily, her fingertips trembling slightly, and she looked particularly uneasy. Her eyes wandered around, but she seemed to be afraid to meet Gu Xu's eyes.

After a pause, she continued, "Can you...can you hug me?"

"These years, I... I've been here alone, and I'm really scared. If I hadn't always believed that you would come to Lingxiao Realm to pick me up, I'm afraid I would have given up long ago..."

In Chen Suhui's heart, Gu Xu was initially just her benefactor. Apart from gratitude and respect, she never had any other feelings towards him.

But I don't know since when.

Perhaps it was when she was alone in Bixia Palace and could only communicate with Gu Xu through the dogtail grass bracelet;

Perhaps it was when his clone died and she could only think of him silently and regard him as a spiritual support;

Or maybe it was when he was surrounded by flames and appeared in the sky of Lingxiao Realm in an unrivaled manner.

An indescribable emotion gradually sprouted in her heart, which even she herself could not explain.

As long as she was close to him and surrounded by his breath, she would feel extremely safe.

She could finally let go of all the calmness and strength she had pretended to have for all these years in front of him. She could finally reveal her fear, exhaustion, and vulnerability.

"Sorry," Gu Xu stood up and said, "This is my fault."

A young girl who is only at the fourth level is trapped in such a completely unfamiliar world, like walking a tightrope on a cliff. She has no one to rely on and the slightest mistake will lead to her eternal damnation.

If things had gone a little bit wrong, for example, if Tai Shang Hao Tian decided to kill this "immortal body" that suddenly appeared, or if she accidentally exposed her identity as a Great Wilderness person, she would probably have died on the spot.

Gu Xu reached out and wanted to touch her head and calm her down.

However, Chen Suhui suddenly threw herself into his arms, wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, and tears flowed out like beads from a broken string, rolling down her cheeks, like a child who had just awakened from a nightmare and was seeking support.

Gu Xu stood there quietly, not moving for a long time.

The sound of the waterfall was in his ears, and the wet touch on his clothes reminded him that it was her tears that were soaking through his clothes bit by bit.

When her crying gradually subsided, he raised his hand and gently patted her back.

"Shall we go home?"

"Yeah." Chen Suhui took a step back and nodded slightly.

Gu Xu raised his arm, motioned for her to hold his arm, and prepared to travel through the void.

Chen Suhui stood there, lowered her head and pondered for a moment, but did not reach out to grab his arm.

On the contrary, a slender finger quietly reached into Gu Xu's palm and stayed there tentatively for a moment.

Seeing that Gu Xu did not object immediately, she seemed to become bolder. She gently put her entire palm in and then held his hand tightly.

Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly.

He knew that Chen Suhui was very smart and good at acting. Otherwise, she would not have been able to stay undercover in the Lingxiao Realm for so long without being discovered.

But now, she seemed to be using this cleverness against him?
