Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

"My father... is he going to die?"

Zhao Yan could only find it unbelievable for Cai's words.

Zhao Changying just broke through the eighth realm and became a "true monarch" powerhouse, and showed his mighty power in front of the palace. Together with the Mangshan Ghost King, he defeated the Great Qi National Teacher and the Exorcist Secretary Luo Chuan.

It stands to reason that, looking at the entire Great Wilderness, it is difficult for anyone other than Emperor Tianxing to threaten him.

He is the spiritual pillar of the entire Dayan, and also the source of confidence for Youzhou people to dare to rebel.

But now, Coach Cai told her that her father was dying and he might not see her for the last time.

If it weren't for the fact that the instructor Cai was the martial arts teacher she had always respected, and also a subordinate of her father Zhao Changying, I'm afraid she would think that the other party was talking nonsense and spreading rumors.

"That day, the king fought against Emperor Tianxing in Zichen Palace and was seriously injured," Cai said with a solemn gaze, "He thought that with Jicheng's healing medicine, he could easily heal his injuries. .

"But he didn't expect that what Emperor Tianxing hurt was the source of his soul.

"His soul is rapidly dissipating in an irreversible state. I'm afraid it won't last for too long.

"Therefore, he wants to apologize to you and sincerely talk to you about the past before he goes west."

Zhao Yan stood there like a sculpture, silent for a long time.

In the depths of her heart, an invisible pillar seemed to collapse.

Zhao Yan and Zhao Changying have never been a father and daughter with a harmonious relationship.For a long time, she had always thought that her father was a coward who was greedy for fine wine and did not care about friendship. Her mother, Mrs. Qu, was murdered in Luojing, but he was indifferent.

Later, Zhao Changying revealed the truth to her, but she could not completely unravel her heart knot.

On the one hand, Zhao Changying colluded with ghosts and caused many casualties among the people, which made her feel uneasy; on the other hand, she was also dissatisfied with Zhao Changying keeping her in the dark when she was preparing a revenge plan, as if she was regarded as an ignorant person. Like a child.

However, at this moment, when she knew that her father would leave her forever soon, her heart was suddenly empty, as if a very important piece was missing.The surrounding air suddenly became very cold, and the howling wind pierced her skin.

After a while, she looked up at Coach Cai and said in a calm voice, "Instructor Cai, you should be wearing a 'Breakthrough Pearl' on your body, right?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Give it to me." Zhao Yan reached out to him.

Her fingers are slender, white and flawless, showing a slight coldness in the sun, like a beautiful piece of art carved from cold jade.

Instructor Cai nodded slightly and handed the "Breakthrough Pearl" into her hand.His expression seemed to be much more respectful than before - because he knew that this student who had followed him to learn martial arts since childhood would soon become the new king of Dayan.

Zhao Yan turned to look at Gu Xu again: "Sorry, fellow Daoist Gu, I can't accompany you to the end of the East China Sea as I agreed before."

Gu Xu looked at her.

At this moment, he could see the dazedness belonging to the girl from the depths of her eyes, and he could also hear the calmness and composure that he tried his best to maintain from her voice.

"It's okay," he said, "this time, I'll accompany you to Jicheng."

Zhao Yan raised her eyebrows, her eyes were a little stunned, obviously not expecting him to say such a thing.

"Aren't you in a hurry to find all the magic weapon fragments and improve your strength?"

"I'm not so anxious," Gu Xu smiled lightly, "Didn't I tell you before, 'The same degree of Zi Po is impossible to solve'?

"You once saved my life in Jingxing.

"And you will encounter a lot of trouble when you return to Jicheng to inherit the throne. If I escort you, maybe everything will be much smoother."

"But I don't want you to delay because of me—" Zhao Yan still wanted to dissuade, but was interrupted by Gu Xu.

"To help you is to help myself," Gu Xu said earnestly, "The hatred of the Daqi court towards me is much higher than you think. In order to get my head, they can do whatever it takes.

"Now, the reason why they haven't sent someone to deal with me for the time being is not because we are in a remote location, nor because of our superb means of concealing our whereabouts, but because they saw you.

"In this way, they thought that I had defected to Dayan and was sheltered by the monarch of Dayan. Without the certainty of victory, they would not dare to act rashly against me."

"But I don't have the strength of my father, so I can't guarantee your safety." Zhao Yan sighed softly.

"If you are really the reincarnation of the 'Holy Maiden', after you awaken, you will only become stronger." Gu Xu responded.

In fact, there is another important reason, Gu Xu did not tell her -

On his way from Beiming to the south, the closer he got to Jicheng, the more he could feel the close connection between the "Huilu" rune and the Vulcan belief.

The power of belief from the followers of Vulcan is like a river, continuously pouring into his meridians, making his true essence quickly become majestic and majestic.

In addition, he used the "astrolabe" to calculate his own fortune just now, and realized that in the crisis of Jicheng, there was a big chance that belonged to him hidden.

So he decided to temporarily slow down his plan to go to the East China Sea and accompany Zhao Yan to Jicheng to inherit the throne.

"Okay then," Zhao Yan pondered for a long time and said slowly, "I know someone like you, once a decision is made, no one can stop you."

Then she raised her right arm: "Hurry up and grab my arm!"

Gu Xu immediately followed suit.

As the "Breakthrough Pearl" shattered into pieces in Zhao Yan's hands, the figures of the two quickly disappeared in place.

Instructor Cai quietly watched the place where the two disappeared.

In his mind, the image of Gu Xu holding Zhao Yan's arm still remained.

"The problem on the lady... solved?" He frowned slightly.In his subconscious, he was still accustomed to calling Zhao Yan "Miss".

He knew that Zhao Yan had always been disgusted with physical contact of the opposite sex, and worried that she would not marry, die alone, or simply find a woman to be his partner.

But now, she doesn't seem to reject the young man beside her at all, not only hanging her amulet around his neck, but also letting him hold her arm tightly.

Looking at their skilled appearance, it is obviously not the first time to do this kind of thing.

"Maybe soon, I will have to call this young man 'His Royal Highness'." Instructor Cai thought to himself.

There have been many female monarchs in the history of Dayan, and the queen's husband also has a special title.Only with the surrender of the last king of Yan to Daqi, the title of "Wang Fu" was buried in the dust.

Picking it up again now, Coach Cai felt a complicated mood.
