The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

After Chu Xiu told Hua Yuan about the current situation of the Fire Phoenix Demon Emperor, as told to him by A Nu, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and cheered up again.

After Chu Xiu investigated and found that there was no ghostly aura left in the tomb of the Chu family's ancestors, he turned to Hua Yuan and asked, "I wonder what Senior Hua's plans are after this matter is over?"

Without hesitation, Hua Yuan replied, "I want to establish a settlement for our people near the Emperor's tomb to protect him until he is resurrected!"

Chu Xiu nodded: "The Demon Emperor's tomb is located in the Southern Continent, where various races live together and each occupies a territory. With your strength, it shouldn't be a problem for the Blood Burial Flower Demon Clan to secure a place to live."

"However, this is also the location of the tomb of a Reincarnation Realm ancestor of the Chu family in Yucheng, Dongzhou, Southern Continent."

Fortunately, I have some connections with the Chu family. You will come with me to meet with the current Chu family member in charge and inform them of this matter, to prevent unnecessary conflict in the future.

Hua Yuan immediately nodded in thanks: "Thank you very much, Your Excellency!"

Chu Xiu did not linger. His cultivation had reached a bottleneck after refining the ghost energy within the Butterfly Queen's body, and he was on the verge of a breakthrough.

He must hurry up and finish dealing with the matters concerning the Flower Fairy Clan, then find a secluded and safe place to complete his breakthrough.

When Chu Xiu led everyone out of the tomb and appeared in the outside world.

Only then did they discover that the tomb was shrouded by a massive demon-locking formation.

It seems that after Chu Xuanling and Lin Chongyang reported the invasion of the ghosts in the Misty Sea, the major families of the Southern Continent made the decision to seal off this place.

After Chu Xiu appeared inside the formation, Lin Chongyang, who was talking with Chu Xuanling, immediately spotted him and excitedly shouted, "Brother Chu!"

Lin Chongyang's shout immediately attracted the attention of all the cultivators outside the Demon-Locking Formation.

"That young man, is that Chu Xiu?"

"The successor to the Human Emperor that the Li family spoke of?"

"He actually survived the invasion of the ghostly creatures in the Misty Sea? What incredible strength!"

"Hmph! He's just relying on that Reincarnation Realm expert by his side!"

"One? Are you blind? Aren't there three Reincarnation Realm experts? And all of them are at the mid-Reincarnation Realm!"

"Three people?!"

Chu Xiu's appearance immediately caused a huge uproar.

Standing behind him, Chi Xiao, Tu Shan Mingyue, and Hua Yuan, under the influence of the Demon-Locking Array, involuntarily exuded the aura of their mid-stage Reincarnation Realm, causing an uproar.

"Just who is this Chu Xiu?"

"Could he really be the successor of that Emperor Yao from tens of thousands of years ago?"

"How many years has it been since our Southern Continent human race has produced an emperor!"

"The appearance of Chu Xiu... no, Venerable Chu is a signal of the rise of our Southern Continent human race!"

Among the crowd, the words of a human cultivator at the early stage of the Reincarnation Realm resonated with a large number of humans.

Once upon a time, the human race of the Southern Continent, with its Human Emperor in charge, firmly held the throne above all other races. Now, however, they have been severely suppressed by the demon race.

Even the Li family, which is hailed as the number one family among the human race in the Southern Continent, is far inferior to the various demon races that now firmly occupy the top positions in the Southern Continent.

Chu Xiu ignored the outsiders' discussion and led more than a hundred flower fairies to Lin Chongyang and Chu Xuanling.

"Brother Chu!"

Lin Chongyang and Chu Xuanling came forward together, their faces filled with surprise and relief.

Chu Xiu smiled and nodded, indicating that he was unharmed.

Chu Xiu asked, "Are the heads of your two families here?"

Lin Chongyang and Chu Xuanling naturally saw the hundred or so people behind Chu Xiu, emanating the aura of the demon race, as well as two Reincarnation Realm experts who, though incomparably beautiful, dared not look directly at them.

The two immediately realized that Chu Xiu had something important to discuss with the key figures in Yu City.

The two immediately used their respective families' communication techniques to summon their elders.

About ten days later, Lin Qingyao, the Supreme Elder of the Lin Family, has now changed her physical body, broken through the bottleneck of the peak of the Transcendent Realm, and entered the first level of the early stage of the Reincarnation Realm.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Elder of the Chu family's cultivation at the peak of the Transcendent Realm was becoming more perfect, and he was on the verge of breaking through.

Upon seeing the surge of energy emanating from Chu Xiu, the two knew that he was about to break through to the True Transformation Realm.

So the two elders skipped the unnecessary pleasantries and immediately began to discuss important matters with Chu Xiu.

"Blood Burial Flower Fairy?"

Even the two Supreme Elders had never heard of the Blood Burial Flower Demon Clan.

However, Hua Yuan, who was in the mid-stage of the Reincarnation Realm, was standing right in front of the two of them. It is no exaggeration to say that if Hua Yuan wanted to, she could lead the Flower Fairy Clan to occupy the entire Yu City and make it her own in just one day.

But now she is willing to discuss things with these two local leaders who are far weaker than her, entirely because of Chu Xiu's sake.

Hua Yuan smiled and nodded, saying, "Two Supreme Elders, my Blood Burial Flower Demon Clan only seeks to establish a place of refuge near that tomb. We have no intention of encroaching on the territories of the surrounding forces, so please rest assured."

The place where the flower garden is located is near the tomb of the Chu family's ancestors.

With no one in the Southern Continent aware of the existence of the Demon Emperor's tomb, the land adjacent to the tomb of the Chu family's ancestors naturally belonged to the Chu family.

With Chu Xiu's guarantee, Lin Qingyao immediately agreed and handed the choice over to the main parties involved, the Chu family.

The Supreme Elder of the Chu family hesitated. Neither Chu Xiu nor Hua Yuan were people the Chu family could afford to offend, but that place was, after all, the final resting place of the Chu family's ancestors…

After much deliberation, and with Hua Yuan's consent, Chu Xiu informed the Chu family's Supreme Elder and Chu Xuanling about the existence of the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

"The Demon Emperor's Tomb!"

"So that's how it is... No wonder our ancestors chose to build their tomb here; it was to carry on the will of their predecessors..."

"In that case, the Chu family grants Clan Chief Hua's request!"

"If our ancestors were here, they would not allow our Chu family to refuse Chief Hua's request."

The Chu family's Supreme Elder immediately decided to allocate a resource-rich and habitable area within a hundred miles of the ancestral tomb to the Blood Burial Flower Demon Clan, and together with the Lin family's Supreme Elder, represented Yu City in establishing diplomatic relations with the Blood Burial Flower Demon Clan.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Chu Xiu planned to leave and go into seclusion.

As for those who came to inquire about what had happened inside the tomb, Chu Xiu did not intend to pay them any attention.

Chi Xiao stepped forward, unleashing the full power of his mid-stage Reincarnation Realm aura to drive away all outsiders who wanted to approach Chu Xiu.

In the Southern Continent today, the strongest person on the surface is only at the Great Perfection of the Reincarnation Realm.

Chixiao's deterrent power is still sufficient.

Chu Xiu knew that it was best to keep the matter between the Fire Phoenix Demon Emperor and the Butterfly Queen to a minimum to avoid unnecessary trouble.

After all, he still had the extremely high-grade Fire Phoenix Feather given to him by the Fire Phoenix Demon Emperor. Even a powerful expert at the Great Perfection of the Reincarnation Realm would covet such a rare treasure.

Just as Chu Xiu and the Lin Chu families were saying goodbye, and Chu Xiu, along with Chi Xiao and Tu Shan Mingyue, were about to leave, a disdainful shout stopped them:

"So you are Chu Xiu?"

"A mere peak Void Breaking Realm cultivator dares to presume to claim the successor to the Human Emperor?"

"Hand over the imperial aura you somehow acquired from your body, and I'll spare your life!"
