Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 481 Mobilization
"What is he?"

"Is he also a member of 'Qing Ming'?"

"How dare he sit there in front of 'Wenchang Xingjun'?"

"..."

Regarding Gu Xu's actions, all the members of "Qing Ming" present were surprised.

The cave was instantly filled with rustling discussions.

However, at this moment, the highly respected "Wenchang Xingjun" suddenly stood up from his seat, bowed respectfully to Gu Xu who was on the high platform, and reached the ground.

"I have seen the emperor!"

"Wenchang Xingjun"'s voice was not loud, but when it fell into everyone's ears, it was like a thunderbolt, making them dumbfounded.

As we all know, in the entire Great Wilderness World, there are only two people who are qualified to be called "Emperors"—or in other words, two gods, Taishang Haotian and Emperor Ziwei.

"God" has a detached status in the eyes of Qi people.

Naturally, everyone present would not associate Gu Xu with "God".

What most people think is that the members of the "Qingming" organization are codenamed stars.

But "Ziwei Star" as "Emperor Star", "King of Stars", "Supreme Noble Star", this position has been vacant for a long time.

Could it be that this wanted criminal named "Gu Xu" is the real leader of the "Qingming" organization hiding behind the scenes?
"Wenchang Xingjun", and everyone here, have actually been working for him?
But the problem is, Gu Xu is not yet 19 years old, but the "Qing Ming" organization has existed for many years-could it be possible that before he was born, he had secretly planned to fight against the Da Qi Dynasty?
…………

The reaction of the members of "Qing Ming" was not beyond Gu Xu's expectation.

Of course this is what he expected to see.

"Gu Xu" has always been a cautious and low-key person.

But "Emperor Ziwei" is just the opposite.

He likes to show his holiness in front of people and use his power to overwhelm others.

When he was hidden in Gu Xu's mind, he often pretended to be an unfathomable big boss - as if he still considered himself the king of infinite space even though he was beaten to the point where only a wisp of soul remained.

Therefore, if Gu Xu wants to play the role of "Emperor Ziwei" well, he must change his previous style.

Before this meeting, Luo Chuan also suggested to him:
"The members of 'Qing Ming' come from all corners of the country, from princes and princes to ordinary people, they gather together because of their interests and vows, and wait for your order, the emperor.

"But they don't know you, and have no real allegiance.

"If you want to turn them into sharp swords in your hands, then it is necessary to use some small means of establishing your prestige so that they can look up to your brilliance."

Because of this, Gu Xu chose to "do not take the usual path" and land directly in the cave by tearing apart the space.

Although he does not have the cultivation base of a saint, he does the things of a saint.

…………

Gu Xu first nodded slightly to Luo Chuan, signaling that he doesn't need to be too polite.

Then he looked at the crowd, and tapped a few times on the armrest of the chair with his right hand.

The house was immediately quiet.

"From your behavior at the moment, I can see that you are very surprised that I appear here," Gu Xu said with a faint smile, "Let me introduce myself first, I am the one you saw on the arrest warrant." The traitor is also the number one enemy in Taishang Haotian's eyes, his surname is Gu Mingxu in this life, and his Taoist name is 'Ziwei'."

The amount of information in Gu Xu's words was too great, and everyone present couldn't help but look at each other in blank dismay, and their minds were in chaos.

At this time, "Wenchang Xingjun" explained in a considerate manner: "The emperor is the reincarnation of 'Ziwei Emperor Zhongtian Beibei', and he has just awakened the power and memory of his previous life."

"Reincarnation and rebirth" is an external statement that Emperor Ziwei and Luo Chuan agreed upon after discussing with Luo Chuan.

After all, "seizing the house" is a cruel method.

If the truth is announced, it will not be conducive to Emperor Ziwei's image of generosity and kindness in front of his subordinates, nor will it be conducive to grabbing more incense in the wilderness.

…………

"Isn't Emperor Ziwei the supreme immortal in the fairy world? How did he reincarnate?"

"'Wenchang Xingjun' is not scaring us, is it?"

"I had suspected that that kid named Gu Xu was the reincarnation of a god before. His cultivation talent is too outrageous, and he was able to break through several realms in less than a year, which cannot be explained by common sense.

"It's just that I still can't associate him with Emperor Ziwei..."

"..."

The words of "Wenchang Xingjun" made everyone feel even more suspicious.

But "Wenchang Xingjun" has long been prepared for this.

He flicked his sleeves lightly, and like a movie playing in everyone's minds, images quietly appeared one after another——

The secrets of the Great Wilderness, the grievances between Taishang Haotian and Emperor Ziwei, Emperor Daqi's status as a "jailer", the truth of Ascension... were revealed one after another in front of them.

He was very satisfied to see that everyone couldn't help but open their mouths wide, their eyes were in a trance, and they tried their best to run their brains, silently digesting these shocking secrets.

After a long period of silence, when everyone finally came to their senses, "Wenchang Xingjun" continued to speak slowly:

"I was ordered by the emperor to create the 'Qingming' organization and gather everyone here for today.

"Think about it carefully. In the long years to come, you, your family, and your descendants want to continue to suffer painful torture in the prison of the Great Wilderness, in the cycle of reincarnation again and again.

"Or do you want to stand up and, under the leadership of Dijun, break the shackles that Taishang Haotian put on us, and resist the endless pain in the world?

"Now, you still have a chance to quit.

"Once the bow is fired, there is no turning back."

There was another long silence.

After an unknown amount of time passed, a few people stood up in the last row of the hall. They glanced at each other and at Gu Xu on the high platform, bowed their hands to "Wenchang Xingjun", then turned and walked out of the cave.

These people have not joined "Qing Ming" for a long time, their seats are relatively low, and they have too many ties outside the organization.

Compared to participating in a life-or-death battle against the entire Daqi Dynasty and even Taishang Haotian, they are more willing to stay out of the matter and maintain the status quo.

"Wenchang Xingjun" watched them silently, without speaking or blocking them.

Sitting on the high platform, Gu Xu even closed his eyes and began to rest his mind.

However, the moment these people left the cave, the masks they wore on their faces, together with all the memories about "Qing Ming", about Gu Xu, and about the secrets of the Great Wilderness in their minds, all disappeared without a trace.

In the end, a quarter of the "Qing Ming" members chose to leave.

"Okay," "Wenchang Xingjun" looked at the rest of the people, and said calmly, "Next, you have no chance to go back on your word."

As he spoke, he slowly took off the mask on his face.
