The setting sun smudges the sky, covering the Xingyao Imperial City as red as blood. On the main Panlong Hall in the city, two rows of ten-column golden dragons are entwined, and the majestic dragon heads look at the seven-star pearl on the top of the hall.
Under the pearl, Gu Yunchan, the Lord of Xingyao, sat on the throne and looked at the Gangshan stone in his hand.
"How is Lord Ten Thousand Nightmares doing now?"
Ten Thousand Nightmares is another title given to Ye Can after he ascends the throne of Heavenly Demon Ancestor. It is also the special honorific title given to Ye Hui by the Xingyao clan. Hundreds of years ago, the Xingyao clan forged the Star Sword.
This sword had not been released and provoked competition from all parties. During the refining period, the Star Sword was almost destroyed several times. If Ye Can had not come to help, the Star Sword would have turned into a pool of molten iron, let alone Wen Shi.
After the rise of the Nine Provinces, Ye Can also secretly supported Xingyao, who came from behind. He never paid attention to the Xingchen Sword, and even went so far as to refine weapons for him for free for Xingyao's previous lords.
When Gu Yunchan heard that Ye Can transformed into Ye Hui and stepped into Xingyao, he was so excited that he even forgot to put on his shoes and rushed out of the city. Now that Ye Hui is heading to Guixu, he is not afraid of trouble in the demon world.
He was afraid that Ye Hui would be uneasy, so Gu Yunchan didn't get a response from Yuehu for a long time. When he saw the hesitation in Yuehu's eyes, he felt panicked. As soon as he stood up, he was held down by Shui Yinlong.
"I asked my lord, can you calm down a little bit?"
"Why are you so calm? My ancestors are going to be destroyed!"
It’s not that Gu Yunchan lost his status and called Ye Hui his ancestor at the age of forty, it was all because Ye Hui’s previous life, Ye Can, lived in the royal ancestral hall with his ancestors, and he was not even born at that time.
Shui Yinlong was not surprised at this and just glared at Gu Yunchan.
"Can he be destroyed?!"
...The sky is probably falling!
...I didn’t come down because Ye Hui was bragging!
Of course he wanted to think about it, but Shui Yinlong said patiently.
"Don't worry, my lord, since Master Yue Gu can come, that bitch... Lord Ye must be fine!"
Gu Yunchan glanced sideways at Shui Yinlong.
"You decide?"
"Why don't you ask the Moon Valley Master!"
With that said, Shui Yinlong turned to look at Yue Hu. To be honest, she was also anxious about Ye Hui's news. After all, she was the 'bodyguard' sent by Dragon Emperor Xing Jiangli to assist Gu Yunchan in protecting Ye Hui.
Now there is no news from Ye Hui. If Xing Jiangli gets angry, she will still be unable to withstand the Dragon King's wrath in the entire East China Sea, so Shui Yinlong calls out again.
"Lord of Moon Valley?"
After several calls in a row, Yuehu suddenly came back to her senses and was startled when she saw Shui Yinlong and Gu Yunchan staring at her.
"What are you two doing!"
"We just want to ask what your father wants to do!"
Shui Yinlong asked back, and Yuehu blinked in shock. He looked down at the signal from Shang Zhi on his wrist, raised his eyes and looked back at Shui Yinlong, deliberately avoiding the important and taking the easy.
"What can he do? Just sleep!"
As soon as they fell asleep, Shui Yinlong and Gu Yunchan looked at each other. The shock they had just returned to the ruins had made everyone in the nine provinces aware of it. Now that Yue Hu said this, Shui Yinlong and Gu Yunchan could probably guess Ye Hui's situation.
Therefore, the next reaction of the demon world is the top issue that Gu Yunchan has to deal with. In his thoughts, Gu Yunchan looked at the Gangshan stone again and remembered the Xuanjing under the Gangshan mountain that was sealed by the first Realm Ancestor.
Xuan Jing is the foundation of the Star Sword. Ye Hui's profound intention in buying Gangshan Mountain not long ago is still engraved in his heart. Now that Yuehu personally sent Gangshan Stone, Gu Yunchan couldn't help but ask.
"Does Lord Ten Thousand Nightmares have any other instructions?"
Hearing this, Yuehu shook his head.
"I said that when the master sees this stone, he will know what to do!"
After retelling it briefly, Gu Yunchan bit his lip.
"Then I know!"
After the words fell, Gu Yunchan stopped talking, and Yuehu glanced at the Gangshan stone in Gu Yunchan's hand, lowered her eyes and thought about the lihu feather she found when taking the stone.
The falcon, also known as the gannet, is the spiritual animal of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple where the West Buddha is located. Many years ago, she went to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple with the elders to worship the West Buddha. She had seen it in the clear pond of the temple in her spare time.
She remembered that the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple was gone after Ye Hui's Xuantian Fire Tribulation. How could the geese appear in Gangshan Mountain now? Could it be related to the Xuanjing at the foot of Gangshan Mountain?
It’s no wonder that Yuehu thinks so. After all, the goose is a spiritual beast under the command of Xi Buddha, and ordinary treasures will never catch his eye. Now the goose condescends to be so noble that it accidentally drops its feathers.
It can be seen that the geese are paying attention to this place and are in danger, otherwise the geese's feathers are precious, and if they are damaged, their bodies will be injured. With this thought, Yuehu looked back at Gu Yunchan.
"Master! Yuehu still has something important to do! The next step will be left to the master!"
Gu Yunchan only felt that Yuehu's departure was related to Ye Hui, so he said without hesitation.
"Master Yueyue Valley, please tell Lord Wanxiang that Xingyao will definitely live up to his expectations!"
Hearing Gu Yunchan's instructions, Yuehu raised her lips and smiled, said "Okay" and then left the Panlong Palace. After leaving Shui Yinlong to watch Yuehu off, she turned around and saw a smile on Gu Yunchan's lips.
"By the way, Master, can you still laugh?"
"Good things are coming soon, why don't you smile?"
Gu Yunchan said with a smile on his face, but Shui Yinlong looked confused.
"Excuse me, my lord, where is the point of laughter? The demon world will come to the city at any time..."
"Isn't this just for Lao Shi to sharpen his ambition?"
At the same time, Gu Yunchan rushed to Shui Yinlong and waved the Gangshan stone in his hand. Shui Yinlong instantly remembered the star sword corresponding to the Gangshan Xuanjing, and instantly understood that Gu Yunchan hoped that his son would become a dragon.
"So the Lord is planning to imitate the Lord and encourage others?"
Gu Yunchan was stunned when he heard this, and instinctively replied.
“Destroying the seedlings and encouraging the growth?!”
"That's right! Doesn't the Lord know that Ye Hui stimulated Lao Shi?"
How could Gu Yunchan not know about this farce? He kept saying it.
"Ah! That's right! That kid can't be pulled out! If you ask me, Wan Yanzun is a little too gentle. If I not only make Lao Shi break up in love, I will also make him lose all his money!"
As he said that, Gu Yunchan tilted his head and said "tsk", and sighed at the end.
"After all, I have been too protective of him over the years!"
Shui Yinlong knew the old father's hatred in his words.
"So, my lord, you value the prince and underestimate the prince?"
As the saying goes, a tiger's poison cannot eat its offspring. Gu Shaozai was born to the previous queen. Although Gu Yunchan did not like Gu Shaozai's mother, what really disgusted him was Gu Shaozai's secret collusion with the demon world.
The reason why he kept Gu Shaozai's head these years was not only to protect Gu Shaochen, but also to add some "fun" to Gu Shaochen, so as to stimulate Gu Shaochen to counterattack.
Not wanting Gu Shaochen to be as kind and grateful as his mother Wantong, Gu Yunchan regretted not being able to save Gu Shaochen's mother, and subconsciously clenched the Gangshan Stone in his hand.
"No way! Who made me have a soft spot for Wantong?"
Facing Gu Yunchan's gaze following his words, Shui Yinlong rolled his eyes.
"Oh! The love of an emperor is so profound that I cannot understand it!"
Shui Yinlong said this casually, but she did not mean to look down upon her. After all, Gu Shaochen's mother-in-law, Wantong, was her former lord of the West Sea Territory. Wandong and Gu Yunchan had a deep love for each other back then.
Unfortunately, their love did not last long, and Wantong was killed by the former queen when she was giving birth to Gu Shaochen. Gu Yunchan was reluctant to leave Wantong after his death, so he went to Haizhong City alone to ask the Dragon King to freeze him in the West Sea.
As a result, she was entrusted by her old friend and reluctantly became Xingyao's successor. As for the death of the former queen, Gu Yunchan simply displayed the highest level of murderous intent.
It also made Shui Yinlong fully understand the danger of the third party. Sure enough, when walking in the world, one must have a correct outlook on life. Now Shui Yinlong listened to Gu Yunchan's meaningful words and changed the subject.
"Speaking of which, Lord, how are you going to encourage the young people to grow?"
