Chapter 786 Going Home
But after seeing what happened to Tian Xiang just now, Huangfu Jiong did not dare to disobey the request of a strong man in the ninth realm.
He lowered his head and answered truthfully: "It does happen.
"In the territory of our Yanling tribe, there is a Red Phoenix altar. Every year during the sacrifice, the tribesmen with the strongest blood will be brought to the altar. If they can resonate with the Tao imprint left in the altar, it will trigger strange phenomena in the world. , it can be confirmed that he is the reincarnation of Red Phoenix Yuanjun, and he can take the opportunity to awaken the power and memory of his previous life
"However, so far, no tribesman has been able to do this."
Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment and then said: "When will your next sacrifice be?"
"Your Majesty, it's one month later."
"Then you go and get ready. My wife and daughter also have the blood of the Yanling clan. In one month, I will bring them to participate."
Wife and daughter?
Hearing this, everyone present looked surprised.
After all, Gu Xu just mentioned that Ye Huang was his Taoist companion.
But as we all know, as a dragon clan member, the Night Emperor obviously cannot have the blood of the Yanling clan.
This undoubtedly shows that Gu Xu has a wife besides the Taoist monk Ye Huang.
The Night Emperor, who has always been proud and arrogant and even looked down upon by Emperor Ziwei, is now able to accept sharing a husband with another woman?
In the eyes of everyone, this is undoubtedly as unbelievable as the sun rising from the west.
However, looking back on all the shocking things that happened on this day, and thinking that Gu Xu could even kill Taishang Haotian, who had ruled the Lingxiao world for thousands of years, this incident seemed to be nothing more than a small disturbance.
"One more thing," Gu Xu was silent for a while, then continued, "Who is responsible for taking care of the blood pool left by the Demon Immortal Clan in the past?"
Huangfu Jiong hesitated for a moment, then squeezed out a humble smile and replied: "In the past, the people from the Heavenly Palace under the command of Supreme Supreme Haotian were responsible for the care. Now that the people in the Heavenly Palace have been killed by Your Majesty... They have been completely wiped out, and this blood pool will naturally return. Your Majesty."
"Then you take care of it for me first," Gu Xu ordered, "I will go there in person in a few days."
This Great Wilderness Human Emperor, as a strong human being in the ninth realm, what does he want from the blood pool of the Demon Immortal Clan?
Could it be that he has developed some mysterious way to use the power in the blood pool for his own use?
His current strength is enough to conquer both worlds. What if he becomes even more powerful?
There were many questions in the minds of everyone present.
But no one dared to raise objections and nodded in agreement.
"It's all gone," Gu Xu waved his hand and said calmly, "I have to go back to Dahuang to deal with some things first. Everyone, please take care of yourself."
After hearing this, the leaders of all the forces bowed and saluted, and then disappeared from the place.
Gu Xu glanced at the hilltop that had become empty again, with a complicated look in his eyes.
There are still many deep-rooted problems in the Lingxiao world, and it is obviously impossible to solve them overnight with a few words. After all, even Supreme Haotian and Emperor Ziwei have spent thousands of years trying to eliminate these problems completely.
What's more, the incense in the Lingxiao Realm today was obtained by force from Supreme Haotian with the help of his causal power. Most of the people's awe of him stems from fear, which is obviously far less stable than the Great Wilderness.
However, his power has already surpassed that of Emperor Haotian and Emperor Ziwei.
In the wilderness where the situation was more difficult, he was able to rise from the bottom and rectify the mountains and rivers.
He firmly believed that as long as he was given some more time, he would be able to turn the Lingxiao world into what he dreamed of.
"Your Majesty, are we... going home right now?" Chen Suhui pondered for a moment and asked cautiously.
She has been in the Lingxiao world for several years.
The word "home" seems to have become a bit far away to her.
"Of course," Gu Xu smiled slightly and asked in a relaxed tone, "otherwise, where else would you like to go?"
After speaking, he paused and then said: "Su Hui, you have made great contributions in this battle. Have you ever thought about what reward you want?"
Reward?
Chen Suhui lowered his head and thought for a while.
To be honest, she had never considered this issue.
She always believed that these actions of hers were just to repay His Majesty for saving his life. As a person who has faced the threat of death since birth, she has always had little interest in money, official position, or even spiritual practice.
Nowadays, the only things that interest her are...
……
At this moment, the sunlight fell on Chen Suhui through the gaps in the branches and leaves of the trees around her, as if coating her with a soft halo, making her skin white and almost transparent.
The breeze blew gently, and the goose-yellow dress swayed in the wind, and the black hair flowed from her fair cheek, making it a little itchy.
"Your Majesty, I..."
She raised her head and looked at Gu Xu, her eyelashes trembling slightly, but she hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong?" Gu Xu looked at her and said, "If you have any wishes you want to realize, 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 it off for you too.”
"Your Majesty..." Chen Suhui spoke softly again, her voice as thin as a mosquito's chirp.
Her hands clenched and unclenched involuntarily, her fingertips trembling slightly, looking particularly awkward. His eyes moved around, but he seemed to never dare to meet Gu Xu's eyes.
After a pause, she continued: "You...can you hug me?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"In these years, I...I am really scared here alone. If I hadn't always believed that you would come to the Lingxiao Realm to pick me up, I might not have been able to hold on..."
In Chen Suhui's heart, Gu Xu was just her benefactor at first. Apart from gratitude and respect, she never had any other feelings for him.
But I don’t know when.
Perhaps it was when she was alone in Bixia Palace and could only communicate with Gu Xu through the dog's tail bracelet;
Perhaps it was when his avatar died and she could only think about 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 the Lingxiao Realm with an unrivaled appearance.
An indescribable emotion gradually emerged in her heart that even she could not explain clearly.
As long as she was close to him and in his breath, she would feel extremely at ease.
The calmness and strength that I had pretended to be over the years could finally be removed in front of him. She was finally able to truly reveal her fear, exhaustion and vulnerability.
"Sorry," Gu Xu stood up and said, "This is what I did wrong."
A young girl who only has the fourth realm is like walking on a tightrope on a cliff in such a completely unfamiliar world, with no one to rely on, and if she makes the slightest mistake, she will be doomed.
If things had gone slightly wrong at the beginning, such as Taishang Haotian decided to kill this "fairy spirit body" that suddenly appeared, or if she accidentally exposed her identity as a Dahuang person, she would have been killed on the spot.
Gu Xu reached out his hand, wanting to touch her head and calm her down.
However, Chen Suhui suddenly threw herself into his arms and hugged his waist tightly with her hands. Tears gushed out like broken beads and trickled down, like a child who had just woken up from a nightmare and was looking for support.
Gu Xu stood quietly and did not move for a long time.
The sound of rushing water from the waterfall reached his ears, and the wet touch on his clothes reminded him that those were her tears, soaking into his clothes bit by bit.
When her crying gradually subsided, he raised his hand and patted her back gently.
"Shall we go home?"
"Yes." Chen Suhui took a step back and nodded lightly.
Gu Xu raised his arm and motioned for her to hold his arm and prepare 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 sneaked into Gu Xu's palm and stayed tentatively for a moment.
Seeing that Gu Xu didn't object immediately, she seemed to be bolder, and she gently inserted her whole palm into it, and then held his hand tightly.
Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly.
He knew that this girl Chen Suhui was very smart and good at acting. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to have been lurking in the Lingxiao world as an undercover agent for so long without being discovered.
But now, she seems to be using this intelligence to deal with him?
