The Thirteenth Prince's master and Xu Qingzhou were both at the ninth level of the Heavenly Palace, but realm does not represent actual combat strength.

"Demonic Clouds Destroy the World!!"

The thirteenth prince's master opened his arms, and crimson blood flew out from his body. This blood flew in the air like a demonic cloud that devoured everything.

The demonic cloud grew larger and larger, pressing down on Xu Qingzhou like a dark cloud covering the sky.

The dense, impenetrable clouds blocked most of the light, plunging the surroundings into darkness.

A strong stench of blood permeated the entire palace, and the faces of the royal family's several Heavenly Palace Realm experts were grim.

Only now did they realize that if the demonic cultivator had used that move, they might have been completely powerless to resist.

Xu Qingzhou threw a right punch.

"boom!"

The massive fist imprint was surrounded by a layer of scorching flames. This fist imprint was like a fiery mountain, crashing down with the force of Mount Tai pressing down.

"Boom!!"

A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire capital.

The fist imprint was unmatched; when it collided with the demonic cloud, it instantly burned and evaporated the demonic cloud.

"Ahhh!!"

The short-statured demonic cultivator let out a miserable and angry cry, his face contorted with rage and his eyes wide with fury.

This blood was the essence he extracted from killing countless cultivators, which he then used a secret method to forge a special weapon that had always been invincible. He never expected it to be destroyed like this.

Xu Qingzhou frowned slightly; the sound made him uncomfortable, so he made another move.

He raised his hands and used a move that resembled piercing the ears with two peaks.

This is the strongest move in the Heaven-Rank Top-Grade Martial Skill "Burning Heaven Annihilation Hand".

Annihilation!!

Two colossal hands appeared on the left and right sides of the demonic cultivator, their overwhelming power instantly reaching him.

"Do not!!"

The demonic cultivator's eyes widened, completely unprepared for the attack to be so swift, giving him no chance to react.

"boom!"

Two giant black hands swatted at the demonic cultivator like flies, turning him into a meat patty and annihilating his soul.

An arrogant demonic cultivator at the ninth level of the Heavenly Palace Realm, who single-handedly overpowered six Heavenly Palace Realm experts from the royal family.

Facing Xu Qingzhou, who was at the same level, it only took two moves.

Judging from Xu Qingzhou's calm and collected demeanor, he was already gone before he even got serious.

The crisis facing the Great Qian Dynasty was resolved within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea after Xu Qingzhou's arrival.

This left the others present feeling somewhat dazed.

Su Xinyan approached Song Yushu and asked, "Yushu, are you alright?"

At this moment, Song Yushu finally came to her senses.

"It's alright. We're so grateful that you arrived in time. Otherwise, the Great Qian Dynasty would have fallen into the hands of the demonic cultivators."

Su Xinyan said, "We just happened to come back today, which can be considered as the fate of the Great Qian Dynasty."

People have luck, and countries have destiny. As long as destiny continues, there's nothing to worry about.

Song Yushu glanced at Xu Qingzhou.

It was him again, once again helping me in my most difficult moment.

Last time, in the main hall of the palace, Xu Qingzhou helped her deal with Hei Yu and the Dharma Aspect Realm Ancestor of the Great Chu Dynasty, making her the Empress of the Great Qian Dynasty with just one sentence.

This time, it was still in the palace. Xu Qingzhou helped him defeat the demonic cultivator who wanted to seize the Great Qian Dynasty in just two moves.

This person, who once thought he was somewhat ordinary compared to Su Xinyan, has actually grown to such an extent.

"Hey...."

Song Yushu sighed inwardly, though it was unclear what she was lamenting.

She later hosted a banquet for Xu Qingzhou and his family.

Su Xinyan stayed to catch up with her, while Xu Qingzhou took her daughter to Qixing Mountain, east of the capital.

This is the entrance to the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, and the Xu family left a branch here for this purpose.

Xu Chu had always stayed here, living a carefree and leisurely life. Occasionally, he would disguise himself and take a trip to the capital for entertainment and relaxation.

He spends most of his time in his cave, reading books and studying alchemy, artifacts, arrays, and talismans.

I also set aside a few days each month to spend time with my family.

Those who are taking the longevity pills can live for a few more years, but they will die sooner or later. When that time comes, they won't be able to see each other again. Cherishing the present is a principle that Xu Chu has long understood.

When Xu Qingzhou arrived outside his cave, he opened layer after layer of restrictions and invited them inside.

Xu Qingzhou was about to ask why it had taken so long, whether he was cultivating.

But when he saw them enter the cave and start closing the restrictions one by one, he instantly understood.

It turns out there were too many locks, and each one had to be opened one by one when guests came, which was why it took so long.

As expected, he remained as steady as ever.

Even if the entire capital and Seven Star Mountain were destroyed, his cave dwelling would still remain unscathed.

Security is maximized.

Xu Ying asked, "Brother Chu, have you always lived here alone?"

Xu Yundao stood beside her, looking at his cousin with curiosity.

“Yes, it’s nice to be alone,” Xu Chu replied.

When they moved, Xu Yundao had only been born a short time, but now that they meet again, he has already begun cultivating.

If he hadn't been with Xu Qingzhou and Xu Ying, Xu Chu wouldn't have recognized him.

Xu Ying said, "It's so boring to be alone. We all miss you, Brother Chen. Why don't you move over there too?"

“If you have something to do, you won’t be bored,” Xu Chu replied.

[The city of Duanshan is teeming with powerful individuals, while I am only at the Nascent Soul stage. There are too many unknown dangers to face in Duanshan City, so it's better to stay here.]

Seeing that he did not answer the question about moving, the sensible Xu Ying did not press him further.

Xu Qingzhou took out the spiritual vein and the seed of the Purple Gold Gourd, and briefly explained the information about the seed to him.

"If we ever encounter danger, we can leave everything else behind, but we must bring this."

A single piece of sacred gold could buy the entire Xu family with the price of a top-grade spirit stone.

This single seed can yield three purple-gold gourds, each worth an equivalent of holy gold; its value is immeasurable.

Not to mention, if it grows for another ten thousand years, it can produce gourds for forging imperial weapons.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chu understood the importance of the seed.

"I understand, Uncle. I will try my best."

In a real crisis, one's own life is of utmost importance, and one would only consider taking it with them if there was an opportunity.

Leaving Xu Ying and Xu Yundao behind, Xu Qingzhou left Xu Chu's cave and took a stroll around Seven Star Mountain before heading to Yuhe City and the Xu family branch in Yunshan City.

Unfortunately, after going around in circles and meeting most of the Xu family members who remained here, they still couldn't find the sixth chosen one.

It's possible that the sixth chosen one has already appeared, but we just haven't met him yet, or it's possible that he simply hasn't appeared yet.

Xu Qingzhou wasn't in a hurry; he just wanted to train those few people well first.

Having finally returned, Xu Qingzhou and his family stayed for more than half a month before leaving Daqian.
