NCCnovel Chapter 167 Leaving
Chapter 167 Leaving
"Let's leave here first. Princess Shili has already arranged a retreat for you. She's probably waiting for you outside the Locking Heart Palace now." Gu Chi stood up, worried that if he stayed here too long, something strange would happen.
"No, I can't leave with you." Yu Yao shook her head.
"Are you worried that Princess Shili will be implicated?" Gu Chi asked.
"No, I want to refine that old monster." Yu Yao expressed her thoughts.
Now, with the help of Gu Chi and others, the old demon has been completely suppressed. She wants to try to refine the demon and then use its identity to leave the Locking Heart Palace in the future.
Gu Chi was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect the other party to have such a bold idea. He asked in surprise: "Are you sure you can refine him?"
Yu Yao smiled and said, "If it were in the past, I would never have such a bold idea, but now with your help, I am absolutely sure that I can refine it."
Gu Chi felt that her confidence probably came from Que Sixan's suppression of the old monster.
"But what if the Dragon Lord finds out?"
"I already know everything about that old demon. They won't find any flaws. Soon I will leave the Locking Heart Palace in another identity." Yu Yao insisted on staying.
"In that case, I respect your decision."
Gu Chi said nothing more and left the Locking Heart Palace with Lao Hei. They successfully passed through the meteorite cluster and quickly wiped out all traces and auras of the place.
Materials such as the Nine-Star Lotus Pod and the Red Moon Treasure Lin were basically scrapped, and the half cube of spirit stones that Gu Chi had begged from Ying Shili was reduced to less than three hundred kilograms. This was a luxurious waste.
"Sister Gu Chi, did you think that the Dragon Lord imprisoned Yu Yao in the Locking Heart Palace on purpose? Did he want the old demon to use Yu Yao's body to avoid the detection of the Heavenly Dao and return to the world?" Lao Hei asked in a low voice.
"The Heart Locking Hall is indeed a prison that can lock up a person's soul and lifeblood, but its greater function is for cultivation. In such a vast Bibo Lake, is this the only prison?"
Gu Chi looked back at the simple, plain, and slightly dilapidated ancient palace and said, "Lord Long locked Yuyao in the Locking Heart Palace. If you say he doesn't have other intentions, I don't believe it at all."
It's late at night and everything is silent.
On the top of the mountain, ancient pines were lush and green, and springs were gurgling in the forest. A man and a dog returned to their residence silently. Ying Shili had been waiting there for a long time.
When he saw them coming back, he immediately looked behind them. Unfortunately, he didn't see the person he wanted to see. He immediately asked, "Where's Yuyao? Wasn't she rescued?"
"Stop talking. You really screwed us this time. We almost lost our lives!" Gu Chi's face was full of indignation.
"What's going on? As far as I know, there is no danger in the Locking Heart Palace." Ying Shili asked.
Gu Chi briefly recounted everything he had experienced in the Locking Heart Palace.
Ying Shili's stunning face showed surprise from time to time, and she said, "To think there is such a thing..."
She felt strange at the time as to why her father chose to imprison Yuyao in the Locking Heart Palace. Now she finally understood.
Gu Chi asked, "Speaking of which old demon's origin is this? Do you know?"
Ying Shili pinched his chin and thought: "If I'm not mistaken, then he should be the descendant of the demon god Xingyan."
"Xingyan Demon God?"
"A demon god from the ancient demon race. It's normal that you haven't heard of him."
Ying Shili had seen some records in an ancient book. After the demon god Xingyan passed away, one of his descendants was revered as the Demon King and ruled over the various demon tribes in the north.
But later, someone unknown happened and this descendant of the demon god Xingyan was haunted by the aura of death. His body completely decayed overnight and could not be reconstructed no matter what method was used.
"The other soul in Yuyao's body is most likely him."
Ying Shili looked at Gu Chi and said, "Although I don't know how you suppressed him, since you helped Yuyao, my previous promise to you still counts. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, I will definitely help you if I can."
In the early morning, the morning glow poured in from the window. After breakfast, Gu Chi took Lao Hei to the palace where Murong Zhixiu was and discussed with him about leaving Biboze in the next one or two days.
"Sister Qianhe, why are you so anxious? We have Princess Shili protecting us now. Who would dare to mess with us?" Murong Zhixiu seemed to be enjoying himself.
"Do you want to miss the prayer ceremony of Yuheng Academy?" Gu Chi really wanted to see this grand ceremony and didn't want to miss it.
"Don't worry. The Yuheng Academy's prayer ceremony is still a few months away. We can go there with Princess Shili and the others then."
Seeing that he really had no intention of leaving, Gu Chi said nothing more and said, "Then you can continue to stay here. I will meet up with you when the prayer ceremony of Yuheng Academy begins."
On that very day, Gu Chi took Lao Hei away from Biboze.
"Sister Gu Chi, someone is following us!" Lao Hei had a keen sense and realized that someone was following them from behind.
Suddenly, the clouds in the sky were shaken apart, demonic energy surged, and three figures chased after them at a high speed.
The leader was a man in white, who looked quite extraordinary. His name was Xu Feng.
On his left stood a young man in golden feathered clothes, his name was Meng Jing.
On the other side stood a young man in a fluttering green robe, his name was Fang Qing.
These three people are all famous strong men among the younger generation of the Northern Territory Demon Clan. There are more than seventy demon cultivators following behind them. It is obvious that they are here for Gu Chi.
"What do you mean, fellow Taoists?" Gu Chi said with a frown.
The leader, Xu Feng, said, "We have no ill intentions, but we have something to say to fellow Daoist Qianhe."
"What do you want to say?"
"When you left, a secret treasure was lost in the treasure house of my demon clan. Please come back with us." Xu Feng said lightly.
Gu Chi smiled and said, "Are you suspecting that I have stolen the secret treasure from your treasury?"
The young man named Meng Jing said, "It's not that we doubt it. We do sense the aura of that secret treasure on you."
"Don't you just want the golden silk from the autumn silkworms on my body? There's no one else here, so why bother making up excuses like this?"
"We treated you as a distinguished guest, but you stole our clan's secret treasure before leaving. You are so rude. I must capture you today!" Fang Qing said sternly.
"Why waste time talking to her? Just suppress her!" Meng Jing said in a stern tone.
Gu Chi glanced at them and sneered, "To seize the Autumn Silkworm Gold, you mobilized so many people. How afraid are you of me?"
"We are not here to steal your autumn silkworm golden silk, but you stole our clan's secret treasure, so we must send you back!" Xu Feng responded.
"Why be so hypocritical? There are no outsiders here now. Don't you feel tired of talking with a mask on?" Gu Chi sneered.
