Chapter Forty-Nine: Emperor Tianxing's Calculations
Normally, when a goblin is killed, it will turn into black ashes and leave no corpses.
But Xiao Zeyao's ghost body after his death was preserved by Gu Xu deliberately using spells, and even his appearance was intact.
He knew that the rebellion had to be famous in order to gain the support of more people.
In this world, what is a better name for rebellion than "the emperor of Great Qi is a ghost"?
Gu Xu put Xiao Zeyao's ghost body into the "Xianyun Residence".
His appearance is long gone.
The spirit of the Amazing Pen stood not far away.
A white dress flutters in the wind, like a lotus blooming.
The slender and well-proportioned bare feet stepped on the broken walls, and the skin was as smooth as fat, bullying the frost and snow.
Gu Xu walked up to her side and said softly, "Revenge, how does it feel?" ”
The original cause of the extermination of the nine clans of the Lu clan in Qingzhou was undoubtedly the battle between Xiao Zeyao and Taishang Haotian Projection.
"Childe." The machine spirit's gaze was a little confused. She stretched out her disembodied hand and grabbed the hem of Gu Xu's clothes.
To this day, she still only says this sentence.
Gu Xu knew that although this amazing pen spirit looked exactly the same as Lu Shiyao at the beginning, the memory in his mind had long been gone, and it was estimated that even the Lu family's tragedy had been forgotten.
At this moment, as if sensing something, Gu Xu suddenly looked up at the sky in the west—that was the direction where Luojing City was located.
"Your other enemy doesn't seem to be able to sit still," he smiled, and whispered to the spirit beside him, "but, believe me, he should not live long." ”
Since comprehending the formula of "fireworks in the world", Gu Xu has found his own path to being a saint.
Now, it's time to launch an assault on Luojing.
…………
When Gu Xu quietly erased Xiao Zeyao's remnant soul in Yishui County, an earth-shattering event happened in Luojing City.
Emperor Tianxing, who had been in retreat for a long time and ignored government affairs, once again came out of the Qianyang Palace.
At this time, the Tianxing Emperor, wearing a crown on his head and wearing a dragon gown, stood majestically above His Majesty; His eyes were like lightning, overlooking the ministers, and everything seemed to be under control.
The head of the twelve, the "Tai'a Sword", was worn on his waist, and the dragon pattern on the scabbard shone with golden light.
The eunuch Cao Tong served by his side.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty on taking another step forward in your cultivation." He bowed his head and said respectfully.
As the person who usually had the most contact with Emperor Tianxing, he could clearly feel the change in the momentum on Emperor Tianxing's body. If it used to be a calm and deep sea, now it is a howling wind and a mountain of waves.
The people in the entire imperial city experienced a sense of oppression that was almost suffocating.
"Fill that well," after a brief silence, Emperor Tianxing instructed Cao Tong, "It should never be needed again." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
When Gu Xu relied on the fourth type of "salary" of the "Burning Sky Seven Style" to cut off the connection between Xiao Zeyao and Emperor Tianxing's soul, Xiao Zeyao once wondered why Emperor Tianxing didn't stop it.
Could it be that Emperor Tianxing was not afraid at all, Xiao Zeyao's ghost body was out of control, fled, and even joined forces with the rebels to launch a counterattack against him?
However, in fact, all of this is in the calculations of Emperor Tianxing, or in other words, Taishang Haotian projection.
Xiao Zeyao once used the curse technique to entangle the cause and effect fate of the two, and even life and death—which made Taishang Haotian Projection unable to completely kill him, and could only seal him at the bottom of the well.
The two of them are in the middle of the game, and they can't get out of it on their own.
Only by pretending to be someone else's hand.
In their eyes, Gu Xu, who was the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei and mastered many great avenue meanings, was one of the few people who could help them cut off the entanglement of fate.
Xiao Zeyao wanted to regain his freedom through Gu Xu's hands.
Why didn't Emperor Tianxing want to take this opportunity to completely eliminate Xiao Zeyao's restless remnant soul?
Taishang Haotian and Emperor Ziwei have been old rivals for thousands of years, and they are well versed in each other's abilities and means.
Xiao Zeyao may feel that he can easily handle Gu Xu, who is currently only a sixth realm cultivator.
But Taishang Haotian was very confident in Gu Xu, even more confident than Gu Xu himself.
Now, Xiao Zeyao is completely dead.
Taishang Haotian Projection was finally able to completely occupy this body with the qualifications to command the world as before, and no longer had to spare energy to suppress Xiao Zeyao's residual thoughts.
The divine soul power that had dissipated after Xiao Zeyao's death had gathered into Emperor Tianxing's body at this moment, causing his aura to continue to rise.
He knew that it was time to make a complete end with Ziwei.
Now there is a big difference in their strength on paper.
Coupled with the Tai'a sword in his hand, he can also use the fortune of the country for his own use.
For the upcoming battle, he is sure of victory.
Otherwise, with Ziwei's outrageous entry speed after being reincarnated, maybe in another year or two, he would be unable to cope with it.
After all, he is not an ontology, just a projection.
"That's right," Emperor Tianxing called Cao Tong, who was about to leave, "It's time for the Exorcism Division to change to a new leader." Na Luochuan and Gu Xu are in the same group. ”
Cao Tong's face was shocked.
…………
The Thrilling Pen Spirit stayed by Gu Xu's side for a moment, and soon disappeared.
Then, Gu Xu cast a spell to restore the ruined walls around him to their original state, as if this battle had never happened.
He didn't want the peaceful life of the residents of Yishui to be shattered by this unwarranted disaster.
The disturbed people gathered not far away at this moment, silently watching Gu Xu's every move.
Gu Xu did not deliberately hide his appearance.
These people have long recognized him as the current number one thief of the Great Qi Dynasty.
But they all stood where they were, and they didn't show hostility towards Gu Xu.
To tell the truth, just now seeing the true face of Xiao Zeyao's ghost body, and seeing Gu Xu's actions to control the aftermath of the battle with all his might, they all felt a little lost.
The Great Qi Imperial Court once said that Gu Xu colluded with ghosts and monsters in a vain attempt to endanger the common people.
But if Gu Xu is really such a traitor who does all kinds of evil, why does he have to spend a lot of real yuan to help the people of Yishui County repair the broken houses after a battle of life and death?
Gu Xu no longer had the energy to pay attention to these people's thoughts.
The real yuan he borrowed from Luo Chuan had already left him.
His meridians were empty, and his body was extremely tired.
He took out the astrolabe and prepared to use his last bit of strength to return to Liangzhou City.
At this moment, a charming but yin and yang strange voice drifted to his ears along the cool breeze of the night: "The husband said goodbye in the middle of the night without saying goodbye and left the concubine on the bed alone, is it because the charm of the concubine body is not comparable to a demon locked at the bottom of the well?" ”
Gu Xu turned his head and saw Zhao Yan, who was dressed in red, and Shangguan Jin, who was fluttering in a green dress, falling from the sky and landing steadily beside him.
His mood instantly became even more nervous than when he had just fought.
Zhao Yan's flower-like face was full of worry and anxiety. The anger brewing in her eyes seemed to be able to burn Gu Xu's whole person to ashes.
"It's my fault."
Gu Xu, the anti-thief leader who was calm and calm in front of Xiao Zeyao and did not panic, immediately chose to raise his hand and surrender in the face of his imposing wife.
"What's wrong?"
"I shouldn't risk my life, and I shouldn't have hidden such an important thing from you." Gu Xu knows how to follow her hair and let her quickly discourage.
"You......"
Zhao Yan wanted to scold him a few more words, after all, he made her worry all night.
I didn't expect Gu Xu's mistake to be so fast.
She had thought of a bunch of reproaches in advance, all of which were piled up in her throat and could not be spoken.
Then it turned into a choked cry.
"After you disappeared silently," she threw herself into Gu Xu's arms, her head buried in his shoulder, "I thought you were going to be like three thousand years ago, and never go back......"
Shangguan Jin, who was next to him, frowned slightly when he saw this scene.
She never expected that an old monster like Emperor Ziwei, who had lived for thousands of years and countless women in the upper realm, would feel nervous in front of his wife's anger like a young boy after being reborn.
"The dead old man is really good at acting," she said secretly in her heart, "it's disgusting." (End of chapter)
