Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Gu Xu made a fist with his right hand.

Under the control of the "ruling" authority, the several cursed threads that Xiao Zeyao had just manipulated suddenly changed directions and became entangled with each other.

In an instant, the majestic power of the curse collided with each other like huge waves on the sea, creating a shocking impact in all directions.

Xiao Zeyao couldn't help but take a few steps back.

The backlash caused by the failure of the curse was not easy for him.

Although the projection of Supreme Haotian in the palace had told him that Zi Wei was proficient in the true meaning of many great avenues, despite his low level at this time, the various methods he mastered should not be underestimated.

But he still couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw Gu Xu breaking his death curse in such a weird way, even causing him to suffer a lot.

"I can see that your heart is moved," Gu Xu's mouth turned up slightly, and he continued, "You hate Taishang Haotian who took away your body and status. You are eager to change the status quo in your heart. You forced me to come to Yishui Meeting in the county is not only to complete Taishang Haotian's mission, but also for yourself.

“If that’s what you think…then I’m telling you right now, you’ve found the right person.

"Not long ago, I used a very special method to rescue Zhao Changying from the hands of the Prince of Hell... You may have heard of this method. It is called the 'Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique', but it has to be reversed. Use it to turn ghosts into humans."

"Zhao Ming..."

Gu Xu's words clearly touched Xiao Zeyao's heartstrings.The voice coming from under the mask trembled slightly, repeating this little-known but thrilling word.

However, just as Xiao Zeyao uttered two words, his voice suddenly stopped, as if forcibly cut off by an invisible force, preventing him from continuing to discuss this topic with Gu Xu.

The smile on Gu Xu's lips became more playful.

He knew very well that if Taishang Haotian's will dared to release Xiao Zeyao's ghost body from the ground, he must be certain - he must have the means to control Xiao Zeyao's actions and prevent his betrayal.

Of course, Gu Xu did not expect to really turn enemies into friends with Xiao Zeyao and discuss transactions.

The most important reason why he kept throwing bait to Xiao Zeyao was to make Taishang Haotian and Xiao Zeyao fight in the spiritual world.

He took the opportunity to buy time to lift the curse for the people of Yishui.

It was not what he expected.

The moment Xiao Zeyao was a little emotionally disturbed by the words "Zhaoming Forbidden Technique", the projection of Supreme Haotian in the palace took action, and simply wiped out all the inappropriate thoughts in Xiao Zeyao's mind.

This also made Xiao Zeyao's mind go blank for a moment, and he could no longer pay attention to Gu Xu.

In the duel between masters, every moment of hesitation has the possibility of turning the situation around.

The black curse threads in Xiao Zeyao's hand all disappeared like smoke.

…………

"You still don't want to trust me."

At this moment, in the ethereal space of consciousness, Xiao Zeyao looked up at the projection of Taishang Haotian above the high level, and said in a rather sinister tone.

"Do you think I can trust you?"

The dazzling golden figure on the high seat responded in an emotionless tone.This sound was not so much made by a human being as it was made by a cold machine.Xiao Zeyao laughed, the shackles in his hands colliding with each other, making a crisp metallic sound.

"Because of your distrust," he paused, then continued, "we fell into Zi Weiming's trap. The curse I finally set was easily broken by him because of your existence.

"You said you asked me to deal with Zi Wei, but in fact you restricted me in every way. Since you can't trust me so much, why not deal with Zi Wei yourself, and I'll go back to the well and go to sleep."

The figure on the high seat said nothing, but looked down at him with indifferent eyes, like a god looking down on the world from the clouds.

…………

The sound of "crunching" broke the silence of the night.

When Gu Xu and Xiao Zeyao met in Yishui County, Shangguan Jin pushed open the crimson door and walked into the Temple of God in Liangzhou Mansion with Zhao Yan——

To be precise, this place should now be called "Ziwei Temple".

Since the statue of Supreme Haotian in the temple has long been torn down and removed, now only the statue of Emperor Ziwei with silver hair like snow is left, standing alone on a high platform for people to worship.

Zhao Yan looked up at the majestic ornate crown and black dragon head of the Ziwei statue, with its dignified, solemn, indifferent and distant expression. Suddenly, the burning and stained look of Gu Xu while lying on the bed popped into her mind. The lustful look in his eyes and his crazy and competitive expression made him laugh softly.

"Why are you laughing, madam?" Shangguan Jin next to her asked lightly after noticing Zhao Yan's expression.

"These gods seem to be sanctimonious," Zhao Yan replied, "but when they leave the altar, they are no different from mortals."

If her words fell into the ears of others, they might think that she was mocking Supreme Haotian from the enemy's standpoint.

But Shangguan Jin could tell that Zhao Yan was showing off in front of her and asserting his sovereignty aggressively.

What Zhao Yan wanted to show off was that beneath Gu Xu's calm appearance, there was another side that no one knew about - and she was the only one in the world who had the chance to see that side.

Shangguan Jin sighed silently.

She didn't know how to tell her newlywed wife that her husband was not the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei at all, but a completely different person.

The genius monk who once dominated Luojing City has now lost his soul, leaving only an unfamiliar body.

"According to Chief Luo's instructions," Shangguan Jin was silent for a moment, "we need to transport three statues of Emperor Ziwei, including this statue, to Yishui County for the emperor to use in battle."

"What is Gu Xu going to do with these statues?" Zhao Yan asked.

"Luo Sishou said that this is not something we need to worry about."

Just now, after Gu Xu disappeared, Shangguan Jin immediately contacted Luochuan at the urging of Zhao Yan.

When Luo Chuan said that "the emperor is currently safe and sound" and "I am also cooperating with the emperor to deal with the enemy", Zhao Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew very well that Luo Chuan's actual cultivation level far exceeded the apparent seventh level.After all, when her father Zhao Changying was struck by Emperor Tianxing's golden divine thunder in the Zichen Palace and was dying, Luo Chuan was able to rescue Zhao Changying silently under the eyes of Emperor Tianxing.

With Gu Xu's strength that made her increasingly opaque, and Luo Chuan's protection, she would be able to escape safely even if she couldn't kill the enemy. (End of chapter)
