Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 670: Dark Clouds in the Sky

This man in black with missing arms and legs is naturally Gu Xu's clone who arrived at Lingxiao Realm.

In the violent space storm, he concentrated the power of "Qiankun" authority to protect Chen Suhui, who had come to the Lingxiao Realm in her true form. However, he himself was inevitably touched by a trace of space turbulence and his body was cut apart.

Fortunately, his body is made of paper.

Just draw new arms and legs with paper and stick them back, and it will be back to normal.

At this moment, he was lying on the ground with his eyes closed. He seemed unconscious, but in fact he was using his spiritual sense to silently perceive everything happening around him.

According to their original plan, the first thing they should do after arriving at Lingxiao Realm is to go to the location of the blood pool of the demon fairy clan to find Ye Huang, confirm her safety, and let Shi Xiaohan awaken in the blood pool.

However, Gu Xu has now been separated from Chen Suhui and Jiang Zhaoyue.

Due to the different rules of the world and being far away from his original body, his power is now suppressed to a certain extent, and he can only exert about 80% of what he had in the Great Wilderness.

Although he could sense through the dogtail grass bracelet that Chen Suhui was probably two or three thousand miles away from him in the northwest.

But he had lost the protection of the "secret" authority, and he was not sure about the extent of Tai Shang Hao Tian's surveillance on Ling Xiao Realm, so he did not dare to act rashly for the time being and went straight to find her.

His current plan is to use the law of cause and effect to conceal his origins and disguise himself as a native of Lingxiao Realm. This will not only avoid attracting the attention of Taishang Haotian, but also give him the opportunity to find out some useful information.

"I'm used to the feeling of being omniscient and omnipotent in the Great Wilderness. It's really hard to get used to this Lingxiao Realm where nothing is under my control!" He sighed silently in his heart.

Under the influence of the "tracing" spell, the two fighting children chased each other all the way, ran under a big tree, and "accidentally" found him.

Seeing the mutilated limbs of Gu Xu's clone, they were stunned for a moment, then ran back in a flash, shouting: "Mom, grandma, there is an old man with only one arm and one leg lying under the big banyan tree outside!"

After a while, an old lady with wrinkles all over her face and a young woman in her twenties also came here.

They did not doubt the identity of Gu Xu's clone, but simply regarded him as a poor injured and homeless man.

One person grabbed his arm and the other grabbed his leg, and they carefully worked together to carry him back to the adobe house where they lived.

This is obviously a tall man.

But he was as light as paper, and the two women could lift him up easily, even using less effort than lifting their own children.

…………

After a while, Gu Xu slowly opened his eyes on the kang.

He deliberately acted confused, rolled his eyes, looked around carefully, and asked, "Where is this place?"

"This is Cuiyun Village," the old lady replied, "and it is under the jurisdiction of the Qingque Sect."

  Qingque Sect?

Hearing this name, Gu Xu was slightly confused, because this name had never appeared in the memory of Emperor Ziwei.

  Perhaps, this is a new sect that appeared after Emperor Ziwei left?

He pondered for a moment and asked, "May I ask how big the territory of the Qingque Sect is, and how many cultivators are under its rule?"

The old lady thought for a moment and replied, "We don't know exactly how big it is, but we know that the nearby mountains are under its jurisdiction. As for the monks... there are at least dozens of them, and they often fly over our heads."

"It seems to be a small force." Gu Xu commented silently in his heart.

After a brief silence, the old lady looked at Gu Xu's broken limbs again: "You are so badly injured, how are you going to live in the future..."

"Don't worry," Gu Xu smiled, "I'm a practitioner, my limbs will grow back if they're broken."

…………

As they were talking, the sun seemed to be obscured by thick dark clouds. The light between the sky and the earth suddenly became gloomy, and the room became so dark as if it had suddenly entered night.

The old lady and the young woman looked at each other and their expressions became serious.

It seems that this is not the first time they have experienced such a change.

“Could it be…” The old lady’s voice stopped abruptly.

"boom!"

Immediately afterwards, a loud noise broke the stagnant air in the room, shaking everyone's heart.

The shabby wooden door of the adobe house was kicked open hard, and it seemed as if the whole house was shaking violently.

A cultivator in a green brocade robe stepped over the threshold and shouted loudly to the inside of the house, urging: "The Emperor has arrived, why don't you go out and kneel to greet him!"

Before he finished speaking, he turned around and left in a hurry, continuing to go from house to house, banging on doors and calling for help.

Soon, the narrow road in Cuiyun Village was filled with people kneeling.

They all prostrated themselves on the ground, their heads buried deep in the mud, and no one dared to raise their heads.

He was afraid that if he moved his neck even a little, his head would be ruthlessly chopped off by the sword-wielding monk next to him.

The old lady, the young woman and her two children were naturally no exception.

Gu Xu was still lying on the kang, silently observing everything happening outside with the help of his spiritual sense.

When he heard the word "Emperor" just now, he felt a little nervous, fearing that Tai Shang Haotian had noticed his existence and came to him personally.

But later, he discovered that it was not Tai Shang Hao Tian who came to this remote village in person.

It was just that the "Heavenly Palace" floating island mentioned by Jiang Zhaoyue before happened to fly over Cuiyun Village.

Gu Xu's perception was blocked by the numerous restrictions on the floating island.

He couldn't see the details on the floating island.

No one even knows whether Taishang Haotian himself is on the floating island.

All you can see is its huge inverted triangle rock base, the surrounding mist and rainbows, and the large shadow cast on the ground.

Then, the monk in green brocade robe raised a cold sword and shouted, "Hurry up and shout long live!"

The common people of Cuiyun Village shouted in unison: "Long live the Emperor!"

Many of them looked ragged, pale and thin, with a miserable appearance of having no food to eat, but they were still shouting mechanically at the top of their lungs.

"You must remember that it is because of the Emperor that you have the happy and peaceful life you have today!" The green-robed monk shouted at the side, "If there were no Emperor, you would probably still be oppressed by the Zhao, Yu, Guo and other countries, working like slaves, living a life worse than death..."

The "Tiangong" floating island came quickly and left just as quickly.

At the moment when it was about to disappear above everyone's heads, something pitch-black seemed to pour down from one side of it and fall to the ground from the sky.

As soon as the green-robed monk walked away, the civilians of Cuiyun Village, regardless of gender, age or status, all ran towards the pile of things that fell from the floating island.

Gu Xu's spiritual consciousness followed them.

…………

Wild world.

Changchun Garden, Imperial Study.

Gu Xu, dressed in blue, and Luo Chuan, wearing a crane cloak, sat on either side of the desk, their eyes focused on the scene of the Lingxiao Realm shown in the bronze mirror on the table.

"Taishang Haotian's way of collecting incense is really unique!" Gu Xu couldn't help but sigh.
