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

Chu Xiu looked at the ghostly cloud. Even though he was dozens of miles away, he could still feel the pressure from the creature hidden within it.

My intuition told me: If I don't avoid it, I'll die!

Yang Yue approached Chu Xiu and said solemnly:

"Brother Chu! Let's leave this place first!"

"Even though Brother Chu has several mid-stage Reincarnation Realm experts assisting him, the Mist Ghost at the Great Perfection of the Reincarnation Realm is far beyond our capabilities! Let's save our lives first!"

Despite Yang Yue's words, the two elders accompanying him crushed the jade tokens and then used their escape techniques to flee towards the black clouds.

Chu Xiu was taken aback: "Them?"

Yang Yue said solemnly, "It is the duty of the two elders. Hurry up and leave, or it will be too late!"

After saying this, Yang Yue didn't linger. His figure transformed into a streak of light, and he immediately fled north.

Chu Xiu turned around and looked at the two Supreme Elders, Lin and Chu, and Hua Yuan, whose faces were full of fear.

Both of them were hesitant at this moment because of their clansmen and businesses left behind in Yucheng, a thousand miles away.

If they escape now, they might be able to save the lives of the strongest and most talented members of the Lin and Chu families, but those clansmen who remain in Yu City will likely face certain death...

The same applies to the Blood Burial Flower Fairy clan.

Chu Xiu's mind raced, and he could only think of one desperate solution.

He asked Lin Qingyao, "Senior, how many people can the teleportation array connecting Yu City to the Eastern Continent transport at a time?"

Lin Qingyao was taken aback, but immediately understood Chu Xiu's thoughts: "Those below the Reincarnation Realm can only number one hundred at a time! My Lin family has about a thousand people!"

The Supreme Elder of the Chu family quickly replied, "My Chu family also has a thousand members!"

Chu Xiu nodded: "The ghost's target should be the tomb. Perhaps we can still make it!"

He turned to Lin Chongyang and Chu Xuanling and said, "Let's go back to Yu City and send everyone away from the Southern Continent via the teleportation array as much as possible!"

"Chixiao, Senior Tushan, Senior Hua, and the two Supreme Elders, let's stay here together and do everything we can to buy time!"

"understand!"

Chu Xiu's instructions were crystal clear.

Except for their clan leader, Hua Yuan, the Blood Burial Flower Demon clan all left this place with Lin Chongyang and Chu Xuanling.

After watching everyone leave, Chu Xiu turned his gaze to the two late-stage Reincarnation Realm elders who had previously greeted Gui Yun.

One of the elders waved his hand, summoning his protective divine artifact, which shielded an area of ​​hundreds of miles around him. Chu Xiu and the others were among those shielded.

Then, together with another old man, they launched an attack on the ghostly cloud.

However, those attacks, though they struck Guiyun, were like stones sinking into the sea, without causing the slightest ripple.

The next moment, a gigantic hand formed from ghostly energy appeared out of thin air in front of the ghostly clouds, instantly blotting out the sun and slamming down on the two elders in the late stage of the Reincarnation Realm!

boom!

The old man standing at the front exploded into a bloody mist the instant he was struck by the giant hand!

The old man standing at the back was struck down from the sky by a palm, crashing heavily to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices, and unconscious.

Beneath the vast sky, the cultivators gathered within a hundred miles of the tomb stared in disbelief.

This……

In a single exchange, the two strongest individuals present, both at the late stage of the Reincarnation Realm, were defeated!

The cultivators present had never seen such a scene before. In panic, screams erupted, and those who valued their lives fled for their lives, but how could they escape that overwhelming demonic hand...

boom!

The demonic hand descended from the sky, passed through the protective barrier, and slammed into the ground!

The mountains within a radius of hundreds of miles collapsed instantly, and all the cultivators who were unable to escape were crushed by this giant demonic palm!

A moment later, the giant demonic hand slowly dissipated.

The once bustling place is now eerily silent.

Limbs, bits of flesh, and blood stained the ruins.

But amidst this devastated ruin, a young man still stands unharmed.

Apart from him, there was no one else alive within a hundred miles!

"Ok?"

A questioning voice rang out from within the ghostly clouds, and an old man with red hair and a black robe emerged from the dark clouds shrouded in demonic energy, looking at Chu Xiu, whose entire body was seamlessly enveloped in imperial aura.

Behind Chu Xiu, a spatial vortex slowly merged.

He breathed a sigh of relief. The giant hand's attack was too swift. If he hadn't risked his life to use the Spinning Technique to move all his friends away before the giant hand hit the ground,

Those who remained here are probably all shattered to pieces!

Even Chu Xiu himself did not expect that his habitual use of the imperial aura within his body to protect himself would actually leave him unharmed under that giant palm!

Chu Xiu completely concealed the imperial aura emanating from his body and looked up to meet the gaze of the red-haired, black-robed old man.

"Tsk, how could a mere newly initiated ant possibly stop my Cloud-Covering Hand?"

The red-haired, black-robed old man hesitated as he looked at Chu Xiu, his divine sense sweeping over him.

"Huh? Something's wrong!"

The red-haired, black-robed old man's eyes trembled, and in a flash, he appeared in front of Chu Xiu, grabbed his right wrist, and directly channeled the ghost energy into his body.

However, the ghostly energy that was originally enough to cause the young man in front of him to explode and die disappeared as if it had sunk into the sea after entering his body.

"No response? How is that possible?"

"If you're so capable, then drain all the holy energy from my body!"

The red-haired, black-robed old man increased the output of his ghostly energy, but it still had no effect whatsoever.

Chu Xiu desperately suppressed the imperial aura within his body, fearing that the demon before him would discover it.

Fortunately, the demonic energy that the demon had channeled into his body was immediately suppressed by the imperial energy, which pulled it from various parts of his body into his middle dantian.

As a result, the demon believed that Chu Xiu's physique was different from that of ordinary people, and that he could absorb ghost energy indefinitely.

Only after half of the ghostly energy within his body had dissipated did the red-haired, black-robed elder stop, staring at Chu Xiu with astonishment:

Wow, this trip was totally worth it! We found a gem!

"Kid, with your physique, staying in Tianlu is a waste of your talent. Why don't you come with me overseas and enjoy the good life?"

The red-haired, black-robed old man grinned.

Seeing that the old man did not attack him, Chu Xiu seized the opportunity to ask, "Senior, is the holy breath you mentioned just this dark, murky energy?"

"What the hell is this?"

"Sacred Breath is the aura of a saint. To put it simply, it is the aura exhaled by the supreme being of the Misty Sea when he is in slumber."

Chu Xiu's lips twitched.

Well, to put it bluntly, it's the tone of the so-called supreme being!

The red-haired, black-robed old man suddenly chuckled, reached out and grabbed Chu Xiu by the neck, ignoring his struggles, and slowly lifted him up.

"I asked you a question, and you haven't answered yet!"

"Go or not?"

Chu Xiu was unable to make a sound with his throat being choked, so he could only mouth the word "go" before the red-haired, black-robed old man released him.

"Very good, I am Mo Lie, from today onwards, I am your master!"

The red-haired, black-robed old man who called himself Mo Lie patted Chu Xiu's shoulder, causing Chu Xiu to wince in pain. The force was so strong that it almost cracked his shoulder blade.

"Come on, let's go to an old woman's coffin room first."

"How strange! Even the blood gu that my elder brother personally refined using the body of the Butterfly Queen couldn't completely turn that old woman into a gu demon... Are all those with phoenix bloodlines so long-lived?"

Chu Xiu was bound by Mo Lie's ghostly energy and dragged to the outside of the tomb of the Chu family's ancestors.

Upon seeing the tomb, Mo Lie suddenly frowned and asked in confusion:

"Strange, why is the coffin lid closed?"

"Could it be that the Gu worms were killed and the Fire Phoenix was resurrected?"
