"He is now over four hundred years old."
"Regardless of the circumstances, even a human immortal can only live for 200 years. He was able to prolong his life because he secretly devoured the blood of his descendants."
"That's why, in the past two hundred years, no one in the royal family has lived past fifty."
Xu Xianxian was shocked.
She had long discovered that all members of the royal family had short lives, and when she was a child she had specifically asked her father about this. Her father simply sighed and said that when the royal family revolted, a villain cast a spell, causing them to be cursed.
It turns out that the truth is that someone has been sucking blood!
"When you were born, there were strange phenomena. Naturally, this old monster set his sights on you, wanting to devour your Purple Moon Dao Body. This way, he could break through to the level of Human Immortal in one fell swoop and ascend to heaven."
"His Majesty, with his keen sense, had long noticed that there was something fishy about this so-called Imperial Uncle and had been thinking of a way to break the impasse. When you were born, he guessed that this old demon would be jealous, so he immediately activated the long-planned formation, catching him by surprise and trapping him."
"But the old monster's strength is truly terrifying. For this reason, Your Majesty had no choice but to deliberately plunge the Dayan Dynasty into internal and external troubles in order to limit the old monster's strength."
"Because the old monster had used a secret method to bind himself to the fate of Dayan in order to prolong his life, if one suffered, all would suffer, so Your Majesty had no choice but to take this measure."
"But even so, after these sixteen years, the old monster is almost unable to be suppressed."
"Your Majesty had no choice but to send the little princess out of Dayan under the pretext of a marriage alliance, and to be protected by another human immortal master, the Northern Wolf King."
Lu Zhiqiu raised his eyebrows, as if he had guessed something, and said in surprise:
"So, the Northern Wolf King's breakthrough to the Human Immortal stage was intentional by the Emperor. He had anticipated what would happen today, and this was his backup plan for Xianxian."
Wang Yan sighed and nodded.
Lu Zhiqiu thought for a moment and asked again:
"But wouldn't that be like pushing Xianxian from one fire pit into another?"
"This Northern Wolf King is obviously not a good person."
Wang Yan smiled and said:
"Do you think we three old bones are just decorations following the wedding procession?"
"The Northern Wolf King's breakthrough was all part of Your Majesty's plan. We've tampered with his method and the treasures he possessed. Naturally, we have the means to limit him."
"So, it's absolutely impossible for him to touch the little princess."
Lu Zhiqiu suddenly realized something and guessed something, and sighed:
"Your Majesty, this is very thoughtful."
"Even if we make a hundred promises with the North Wolf King, there's still a chance he'll learn the truth and turn against us out of fear of the old monster."
"But if I trick the Northern Wolf King into taking Xianxian under the guise of a marriage alliance, then even if I find out it's a trap, I'll have no choice but to join you in dealing with the old monster."
"Because no matter how he explains that he was deceived, the old monster will think that he and Xianxian are one and the same, and there is no way he will let him go. From the moment he agreed to this fake marriage with the Dayan Dynasty, there is only one way to go."
Wang Yan said meaningfully:
"Of course. Don't you think that it's not that easy to break through to the Human Immortal stage? He took advantage of us, so naturally he has to work hard for us."
Lu Zhiqiu smiled and said:
"You guys are a bit dark-hearted. You scheme against others without even saying anything."
Wang Yan also chuckled:
"It's the same with you. If Mr. Lu can see through this, I'm afraid his heart is not that clear either."

Chapter 58: Returning to the capital, the strange red
After thinking for a while, Lu Zhiqiu asked again:
"Since human immortals can be piled up, are there other human immortals in the Dayan Dynasty?"
Wang Yan rolled his eyes at her and said:
“It’s not that easy to pile up.”
"The fact that we can produce one Northern Wolf King is already our limit, and that's because he is truly gifted, surpassing us old guys."
"Otherwise, why don't we build ourselves up, for example, by building me, Wang Yan, up to the level of a human immortal?"
"It was because, at that time, the Northern Wolf King was the only one who had the potential to break through to the Human Immortal realm due to the accumulation of resources, so we had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure."
Lu Zhiqiu nodded.
This was exactly as she had guessed.
She sighed and said:
"Now it seems that I have killed my only helper."
Wang Yan waved his hand and said with a smile:
"The Northern Wolf King has offended me greatly over the years and has committed many evil deeds. You can kill him if you want."
"To deal with that old devil, I think you are enough. A third-rate immortal like the Northern Wolf King won't make any difference if we have more or less of him."
The two were chatting and laughing.
Xu Xianxian on the side felt a little sad.
She is not a fool, although Wang Yan's description only briefly mentions it.
But she could still sense how great a price had been paid to trap this old monster.
She closed her eyes, trembling her shoulders and said:
"If this is the case."
"That is to say, my father abandoned the people of the world, using their suffering for more than ten years to reduce the national destiny and restrain the old monster that bound the national destiny, in exchange for more than ten years of peace and stability for me, Xu Xianxian, and my escape today."
Xu Xianxian's voice was a little hoarse and she felt at a loss.
She thought of the disheartened retired Jingjiwei Aunt Wang whom she met when she and Lu Zhiqiu stayed in the village.
I thought of the many people I met when I traveled around the Central Plains with Lu Zhiqiu and saw them suffering from the attacks of bandits.
He also thought of the former head of the Meiyue Sect who broke into the court of the Northern Wolf King single-handedly on the night he learned the news of the marriage and died at the hands of the Northern Wolf King.
There were also countless soldiers who sacrificed their lives in Luoxia Pass to resist the growing strength of the Northern Wolves.
……
These people all suffered and sacrificed because of their own involvement.
Think about this.
Xu Xianxian felt a tightness in her chest that made it hard for her to breathe.
Wang Yan sighed and said with some melancholy:
"Your Majesty is not a good emperor, but he is a good father."
"The reason I never told you this was, firstly, to keep it confidential, and secondly, to spare you any psychological burden."
How can there be no psychological burden?
Lu Zhiqiu looked at Xu Xianxian's trembling body and couldn't help but hold her in his arms.
Any kind-hearted person would not be able to bear the fact that hundreds of thousands or millions of people died indirectly because of him or her, right?
She patted Xu Xianxian's shoulder and said softly:
"Perhaps, we can think about it from another angle."
She persuaded:
"You think your father did this for you."
Xu Xianxian was puzzled and said with some difficulty:
"Is not it?"
Lu Zhiqiu sorted out his thoughts for a while before looking up and continuing:
"Do you think an emperor, especially one so far-sighted as to consider kidnapping the Northern Wolf King and putting him on his chariot in the name of a marriage alliance, would only think of this?"
"I can't see."
"On the surface, his goal was to prevent his daughter from being devoured by the old monster."
“But I think this is just one of the purposes.”
"If the old monster really devours you, and uses the power of the Purple Moon Dao Body to break through to the level above Human Immortal, and may ascend to heaven at any time, what do you think will happen?"
Xu Xianxian shook her head.
Even Wang Yan and others on the side looked at Lu Zhiqiu curiously, waiting for the answer.
Lu Zhiqiu turned around suddenly, stared at them, and said seriously:
"He will treat the Great Yan Dynasty, and even the entire world, as his disposable experience package. Before ascending, he will slaughter and devour them all and turn them into nutrients."
It was like a flash of lightning in everyone's heart, exploding their entire heart.
"Just imagine, for someone who can heartlessly devour even his own descendants, what scruples would he have when he's asked to devour strangers?"
"He would just be grinning from ear to ear and happily accept it."
Xu Xianxian was a little shaken, but still said doubtfully:
"But, so far, the old monster has only devoured the royal bloodline. Perhaps it is his secret method that allows him to only devour blood relatives?"
Lu Zhiqiu shook his head and said:
"When I first entered the martial arts world as Lu Mangmang, I once saw someone at the Fuwei Escort Agency devouring his own flesh and blood to increase his combat power."
"At Jinya Mountain, when I was fighting alongside Senior Shen Jiangxin of the Sword King Sect, I also saw a crooked thief devour the corpses of his companions to gain power, and he was able to block my Canghai Sword."
"This already shows that this method can devour the flesh and blood of unrelated strangers."
"And I suspect this secret technique originated from the palace, from that old monster. He has been perfecting this secret technique that allows him to devour the flesh and blood of strangers over the years."
"For the past half month, I have been in the Sword King Sect and Tianshan, meditating on sword skills."
"When I was chatting with Senior Shen Jiangxin of the Sword King Sect, I asked her why she was attacked and seriously injured. She said she was on her way back from investigating a mummified corpse case in the capital and was ambushed."
"The capital, mummies, unorthodox monks, the secret method of devouring the flesh and blood of others..."
"How to interpret this thread, I believe you all already have the answer."
Xu Xianxian's eyes gradually became bright.
She murmured:
"So, my father also saw this, so he took forceful action to shake the fate of the Dayan Dynasty. This was not only to protect me, but also to delay the old monster's ascension and his killing spree."
Lu Zhiqiu nodded slowly and said seriously:
