Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 420 Returning to Yishui
After the supernatural power of "Qian Kun" is strengthened, it can teleport a distance of nearly [-] miles at one time, and the consumption of true essence has also been reduced a lot.

In addition, Gu Xu had accumulated a large amount of surplus real energy in the Temple of Fire in Jicheng.

Therefore, when he returned to land from the end of the East China Sea this time, he did not take a boat like when he came, but directly used the "star disk" to build a space channel many times.

In just two days, he arrived at Dengzhou Port in Jiaodong Province.

In fact, he originally planned to land at the port "Jingu" in Dayan based on safety considerations.

But to go to Kunlun, it is destined to cross the hinterland of Daqi.

Recently, the border between Yan and Qi has been heavily guarded and guarded extremely strictly. It is not easy to enter Qi from Yan.

So Gu Xu simply entered the border of Daqi directly from the sea without making a sound.

However, when he was wearing a mask and hiding in the dense crowd of Dengzhou Port, he suddenly heard some unexpected news from the conversation of passers-by——

"I heard that something happened in Qingzhou Mansion."

"Qingzhou Mansion? Isn't that the hometown of the rebel Gu Xu?"

"That's right. In the past few days, the court has caught a group of Gu Xu's accomplices in Yishui County and wants to execute them."

"Gu Xu's accomplices? Who are they? Are they the ones sent by the queen in the north to meet him?"

"No. It was Gu Xu's superiors and colleagues when he was an official in Yishui Yamen. After Gu Xu was wanted, they continued to provide him with information and material assistance to help him avoid the court's pursuit."

"Oh, no wonder the court spent so much effort, but failed to catch this traitor. It turns out that there is an inner ghost hiding in the court!"

"..."

Hearing these people's conversation, Gu Xu frowned more and more.

He took a few steps forward, grabbed the sleeve of one of the short, middle-aged men, and asked him, "Tell me the specifics of this matter—who was arrested by the imperial court? When will they be executed? "

The short and fat middle-aged man was stunned for a second, and said: "It should be the last few days! I don't know too well, I also heard it from hearsay."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Xu turned into a black lightning and disappeared in place.

The chunky middle-aged man suddenly widened his eyes.

Tear apart space and move instantly, these are the abilities only possessed by saints and powerhouses.

Even if he is not a saint, he must have an extraordinary status to be able to use this precious magic weapon with the ability to travel through space.

Could it be that the person who spoke to me just now is a big man who works in secret?
The pudgy middle-aged man was surprised and delighted.

He thought: in the future, when drinking with friends, I can show off to those guys. I was once pulled by the sleeves by a big man who can travel through space, talking and laughing intimately.

However, when he tried to recall Gu Xu's appearance, he found that he racked his brains and couldn't recall what the other person looked like.

…………

In the blink of an eye, Gu Xu had already arrived at Yishui County where he used to live with the help of the "star disk".

Due to the existence of extraordinary power, the disaster caused by the "Nine Infant Snake Demon" a few months ago did not leave too many traces here.

Except for a few more tombstones on the outskirts of the city, everything is as it is in memory.

The Yihe River is wide and full of weeping willows.

Curls of cooking smoke rose slowly and dissipated in the blue sky.

But Gu Xu knows that for him, Yishui is still his first home in this world; but for Yishui, he has become its enemy.

Therefore, he didn't spend too much time thinking about the past, but walked along the old bluestone road, using the "Meteor Walking the Moon" movement technique, and headed straight for the Exorcist's Yamen.

He wanted to confirm the authenticity of the conversations of passers-by in Dengzhou Port as soon as possible.

He walked through several alleys and came to the broad Zhengqi Street. The solemn and solemn gate of the Exorcist Division stood in front of him, which was still the same as he was familiar with.

It's just that outside its door, there are a few more silver-armored guards holding weapons.

There was a chill in their eyes, giving people a feeling of daunting.

However, these silver armored guards could only stop ordinary people, but they couldn't stop Gu Xu.

He found a hidden place, cast "Qian Kun", and directly tore apart the space to enter the yamen.

He enveloped the entire courtyard with his powerful spiritual consciousness, but he failed to find those familiar figures—Chen Jisheng, Wang Yang, Cui Tianyou and others, none of them were here.

Gu Xu's eyes became more serious.

He stopped a passing handyman and asked, "Do you know where Master Chen has gone?"

The handyman was taken aback by Gu Xu's sudden appearance.

The strong coercion emanating from Gu Xu's body made him feel a sense of awe in his heart.

"You...are you talking about Mr. Chen Jisheng?" The handyman bowed and replied tremblingly, "He...he was sent to Qingzhou Mansion together with other practitioners in the yamen."

"Qingzhou Mansion?" Gu Xu raised his voice slightly, startling the handyman, "Why were they sent to Qingzhou Mansion?"

"Because... because they are the accomplices of the traitor Gu Xu, the imperial court will punish them with death."

"When?"

"Probably... about three days later!"

Gu Xu took out the copper coin and used divination to confirm that the servant's statement was true.

Then, just like when he came, he quietly withdrew from the Yamen with the power of "Qiankun".

He knew very well that he had been avoiding people he knew as much as possible during his escape and avoiding getting involved with them.There is no doubt that the crimes charged by the Daqi court on Chen Jisheng and others were fabricated out of thin air.

It's just why did the Daqi court do this?

Also, why did they want to take the "prisoner" to the Qingzhou government to be executed instead of doing justice on the spot in Yishui?
"Could it be that the imperial court wants to use them as bait to lure me out?" Gu Xu speculated with a gloomy expression.

If he guessed correctly, the Daqi court must have prepared a net of heaven and earth in advance, waiting for him to enter the urn in Qingzhou Mansion.

But he has no choice.

Chen Jisheng was very kind to him, and Wang Yang and others were also the first batch of companions he met after he came to this world.

Even if he knew it was a trap, as long as there was a one-ten-thousand chance that these people would be killed, Gu Xu would risk his life to save them.

"Anyway, I'm already a traitor now," he said with a chuckle, "It's only natural to rob a court.

"My current ability is much stronger than when I was in Jingxing. And Zhu Qiuyi, who restrained me the most, has been abolished by Zhao Changying.

"As long as I don't meet the strong saints, I should be able to escape smoothly with them.

"Besides, Chief Luo should have been watching my whereabouts. He can't just watch me die."

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated.

He drove the "star disk", soared into the sky, turned into a blue lightning, and flew towards the direction of Qingzhou Mansion.
