Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

"We're running again."

After his whereabouts were exposed, Gu Xu did not dare to delay in Longzhou City.

He grabbed Xue Nu's wrist and cast "Qian Kun" continuously. After several short-distance teleportation, the two came out of the city together.

For Gu Xu's decisive escape, Xue Nu was a little puzzled at first.

Because in her perception, there is no strong aura in Longzhou City - in other words, no one in the city can beat her.

But Gu Xu quickly told her that the officials of Daqi court were very good at shaking people.

The enemy they will face next will definitely not be just a thousand households in Longzhou, but a large group of strong men transferred from various nearby provinces.

Even Princess Zhaoning may bring Daqi Guoshi and several other saints and powerhouses to intercept them in person.

Let alone whether you can beat it.

The aftermath of the battle of the saint-level powerhouse is a terrible natural disaster for the common people here.

After hearing his words, Xue Nu nodded, and silently lamented that the young master's thoughtfulness was far beyond what she, who had almost no social experience, could compare to.

After leaving Longzhou, Gu Xu's true essence has basically recovered to its original state, enough to be used to construct space passages.

At this time, they were not far from the western frontier of Daqi.

It only takes two more space shuttles to get out of the border of the Great Qi Dynasty.

However, just as he took out the "star disk" to tear apart the space, he found that even with all his true energy, those cobweb-like cracks in the space could not appear in front of him as usual.

"The space is blocked," he frowned and said to Xue Nu, "It seems that the imperial court's reaction is faster than we imagined."

"Then...then what should we do?" In these days of getting along, Xue Nu has long been used to letting Gu Xu make up her mind.

"We have to rely on flying to escape from here," Gu Xu replied, "If we encounter pursuers, we need to trouble Miss Lu to deal with it."

"I promised, I will protect you." Xue Nu said in a calm voice.

Gu Xu smiled lightly.

Holding the astrolabe in his hand, he circulated his true energy and floated into the air.

However, at this moment, there was a clear and loud cry from a distance.

Gu Xu turned his head and saw a pure white ice crane spread its wings, like a white lightning, flying straight towards where the two of them were.

The figure of Xue Nu disappeared in place, and then appeared on Bing He's back.

"Young master, this is quick."

She flew to Gu Xu's side, and pointed her finger behind her expressionlessly.

Gu Xu quickly weighed in his mind, thinking that there is a high probability that there will be a fierce battle in the future, and the true energy in his body can be saved as much as possible, and there is no need to waste it on flying.

So she put away the astrolabe and sat behind Xuenv.

Xuenv steered the ice crane, soared upwards, and instantly got into the clouds.

"Compared to riding a horse with Zhao Yan, it's more like riding a roller coaster." Gu Xu complained silently.

The ice crane's acceleration was too hasty.

He instinctively stretched out his arms to wrap around Xue Nu's slender waist, and managed to stabilize his figure.

Xue Nu's body is cool and soft, like soft and elastic jade.

Xue Nu's thoughts suddenly stopped for a moment.

Although she has no sense of touch, just the act of Gu Xu hugging her has already given her a strong impact on the spiritual level.

No one has hugged her since her mother died when she was a child.

The people in the Lu residence have always treated her with alienation and respect.

After becoming a ghost, no one dared to approach her.

But at this moment, she was next to a young man, with her back against his chest.She couldn't feel his body temperature, but could clearly hear his breathing and heartbeat, and could imagine the warmth of his embrace.

Her heart had stopped beating for nearly 20 years.

However, at this moment, she had the illusion of a revived heartbeat.

Gu Xu's hand quickly loosened.

He took out a "Feng Xing Talisman" and stuck it on his body so that he could sit firmly on the back of the ice crane and would not fall off easily.

"Sorry, Miss Lu," he said, "I accidentally offended you just now, please forgive me."

His words were as polite and reserved as ever.

But Xuenv feels that sometimes his politeness is like a natural moat—he is so close at hand, but she feels as if he is far away in the sky and can never be touched.

The intimacy brought about by sharing the senses seems to be just her own illusion.

"It's okay, I don't mind." She said softly.

…………

at the same time.

In Fengxiang Mansion a few miles away, a huge floating airship shuttled rapidly among the clouds.

Around the flying boat, there are hundreds of practitioners flying with swords.

At the ornate prow stood three men—

Xiao Wanjun, the princess of Zhaoning with bright red lips and white teeth, is graceful, and the grand master of Daqi, who is frugal in clothes and thin in stature.

There is also an old monk with a wrinkled face in cassock and holding a Zen staff.

Princess Zhaoning is holding a square object in her hand - white jade with a dragon button, which is the jade seal of the Daqi Dynasty.

This jade seal is carved from the Tai'a sword, and it has the breath of the Tai'a sword. At a certain time, it can exert part of the power of the "No. 1 weapon in the world".

Emperor Tianxing allowed Princess Zhaoning to take Yuxi out of the capital, which shows his strong determination to arrest Gu Xu.

"Your Highness, with the power of Great Qi Yuxi, I have set up a large formation in Fengxiang, Longzhou, Jingzhou, Weizhou, and Qinzhou to seal off the space," Da Qi Guoshi cupped his hands at Princess Zhaoning, " Even the powerful saints are unable to build space passages here to travel long distances."

When speaking, the national teacher looked a little tired.

Even with the blessing of Yuxi's power, maintaining such a huge formation is not an easy task for him.

"It's hard work for the national teacher," Princess Zhaoning said, "Your injury hasn't healed last time, and I'm bothering you to take action this time, it's too—"

"—Serving Daqi is my duty." The national teacher shook her head and interrupted her.

At this moment, Princess Zhaoning turned her head to look at the old monk in cassock: "Master Jueming, I have to rely on you a lot when dealing with Xue Nu and Gu Xu this time."

"Your Highness, you don't need to worry too much," the old monk said calmly, "The method of Lingshan Temple has a strong restraint effect on evil spirits. Under the same realm, there is no ghost that is the old monk's opponent.

"Just one thing, I can't figure it out——

"Why did the imperial court use this kind of favor on trivial matters like arresting fugitives?"

This old monk is Master Jueming, the abbot of Lingshan Temple, one of the three major sects of Daqi, and he is also a strong saint.

But it is different from saints like Guoshi and Luochuan who directly serve the court.

Leaders of one side, such as Xu Man, the master of the Jiange Pavilion, and Master Jueming of Lingshan Temple, have a great degree of freedom to act.Although they all have the name of guest ministers in the court, they are not dispatched by the court on weekdays. Generally, they will only help the Daqi Dynasty when it is invaded by foreign enemies.

So this time, in order to invite Master Jueming to help capture Gu Xu, Princess Zhaoning had to use up a favor owed by the court to Lingshan Temple.

"Father attaches great importance to Gu Xu," Princess Zhaoning responded, "The first order he personally issued after so many years of retreat was to arrest Gu Xu."

"Oh, that's how it is," Master Jueming nodded, thoughtfully, "During the Lantern Festival competition earlier, the old man's apprentice, Jing Ru, had a fight with Gu Xu and returned in a big defeat. At that time, I thought, That kid Gu Xu is unusual.

"Now it seems that there are more secrets hidden in him than I imagined."
