Jiuxiao Peak, in the cave.
Xiao Muyang was lying quietly on the jade bed. There was still no sign of life in his body. Gu Xing sat next to him, looking a little tired. He had not closed his eyes for several days and had been guarding Xiao Muyang here.
"It's the tenth day, are you still awake?" Gu Xing whispered, his tone a little weak.
Although Xiao Muyang never woke up, he always held a glimmer of hope in his heart. Xiao Muyang would definitely survive, but it would still take time.
On the twelfth day, Yang Jiuxiao came to the cave. Seeing that Xiao Muyang was still in his previous state, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Could it be that Xiao Muyang was really lying to them?
Yang Jiuxiao looked at Gu Xing and found that his eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, as if he was possessed, and looked a bit scary.
"You go and rest first, I'll guard you here." Yang Jiuxiao said, no matter how strong his cultivation level is, he can't withstand long-term consumption. Gu Xing has reached the limit of his body, and there will be problems if he continues to endure it.
"I won't leave." Gu Xing responded. He wanted to watch Xiao Muyang wake up. If he didn't wake up, he would stay here.
"I promised Mo Tianren that I would ensure your safety. If you insist on not leaving, I can only force you to rest." Yang Jiuxiao added: "There is no point in keeping you here. If he wakes up, I will We will notify you as soon as possible.”
There were some changes in Gu Xing's eyes, and after a moment he finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go."
After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave the cave.
However, at this moment, he felt a faint fluctuation, and his raised steps suddenly froze there, and his eyes suddenly looked at Xiao Muyang.
Seeing Gu Xing's reaction, Yang Jiuxiao's eyes flashed, and he immediately stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Just now, I felt a slight fluctuation!" Gu Xing said excitedly.
Yang Jiuxiao's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately looked at Xiao Muyang, and then a powerful soul power entered Xiao Muyang's body.
The condition of Xiao Muyang's body was completely displayed in Yang Jiuxiao's mind. It was no different from before. There was no breath of life. This made the joy in his heart weaken a lot. Could it be that Gu Xing had a wrong perception?
Just when Yang Jiuxiao was about to withdraw from Xiao Muyang's body, a weak wave came from nowhere and was instantly sensed by Yang Jiuxiao. His heart trembled, and the next moment, a strong look of joy emerged in his eyes.
Although it is only a very weak fluctuation, it is a good start, which means that Xiao Muyang is not really dead. The secret technique he practiced has begun to work. As long as he is given enough time, he will definitely get better.
"It seems he didn't lie to us." Yang Jiuxiao looked at Gu Xing and said with a smile, "Now you can go and rest."
"Yes." Gu Xing nodded heavily, glanced at Xiao Muyang, then turned and left. When he walked out of the cave, he had a bright smile on his face and felt that the world was much better.
In the next few days, Gu Xing went to the cave to see Xiao Muyang. Although Xiao Muyang still didn't wake up, the fluctuations in his body were much stronger than before, which showed that the recovery speed was faster.
In the cabinet and meeting hall, Yang Jiuxiao, Ouyang Ye and the four deputy cabinet heads are all here.
"Let you come here to announce a great event." Yang Jiuxiao looked at everyone and said with a smile on his face.
Ouyang Ye and others all looked curious. Since the end of the war, they had not seen a smile on Yang Jiuxiao's face. What happened to make him so happy?
"What happy event is it?" Huo Yun asked impatiently, with some suspicion in his heart. Could it be that he has broken through?
"Mu Yang, you're not dead!" A voice spat out from Yang Jiuxiao's mouth.
When the voice fell, everyone's expressions were frozen there. After a while, they finally recovered. Their faces were all filled with shock, their hearts were trembling wildly, and they couldn't believe what they just heard.
Mu Yang is not dead, is this true?
"Sister Master, are you serious about what you said?" Ouyang Ye looked at Yang Jiuxiao and said solemnly. Although he believed that Yang Jiuxiao would not joke about this matter, the news was too shocking and he couldn't help but confirm it again.
"Of course it is true." Yang Jiuxiao replied: "The secret technique he practices can conceal the breath of life, and he relied on this to hide it from Qi Yue that day."
Yang Jiuxiao promised Xiao Muyang that he would keep the secret of resurrection for him, so he came up with this explanation, which would not reveal Xiao Muyang's secret, but also let everyone know that Xiao Muyang was still alive.
After learning that Xiao Muyang was still alive, everyone was naturally very excited, with joyful smiles on their faces. Daozong's hope had not been wiped out, and it was only a matter of time before it returned to its peak.
"Where is he now?" Ouyang Ye asked, naturally wanting to see Xiao Muyang.
"He is recuperating in my cave. During this period, he needs to practice quietly. Don't disturb him. Wait until he recovers from his injuries before visiting him." Yang Jiuxiao said: "In addition, I will only tell you a few things about this matter. People must not reveal it to other people to avoid causing trouble."
"Understood." Everyone nodded. With Qi Yue's insidious methods, it is possible to send someone undercover in the Dao Sect. If he knew that Xiao Muyang was still alive, otherwise he would definitely kill him again.
"Where are Chu Qingli, Wen Yu and Sword God? Do I need to tell them?" Ouyang Ye said: "During this period, Sword God's mental state has been declining day by day. This incident has dealt a huge blow to him."
Yang Jiuxiao thought for a moment, they were all Xiao Muyang's closest people, and they should be let know about this.
"I'll go talk to them later." Yang Jiuxiao said.
"Okay." Ouyang Ye nodded.
"What is the current situation in Taihua City? Have all the forces settled down?" Yang Jiuxiao asked.
"That's almost it. The biggest problem now is the lack of resources." Ouyang Ye frowned and said: "Taihua City's resources are limited and are simply not enough to distribute to so many forces. It can be sustained in the short term, but over time, problems will inevitably arise. .”
This is exactly the result Qi Yue wants.
Yang Jiuxiao thought for a moment and asked, "Can we raise resources from other cities?"
"Now Daozong and the royal family are incompatible, and all forces dare not get close to Daozong, let alone risk providing resources to Daozong." Ouyang Ye sighed.
"Hmph, Dao Sect was very friendly to all forces in the past and tried its best to help. Now it is too ruthless to maintain boundaries when encountering trouble." Huo Yun sarcastically said: "In the future, when Dao Sect grows stronger, I wonder what kind of faces they will show. .”
"It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. How can they have the courage to offend the royal family at this juncture?"
Yang Jiuxiao said calmly: "Now they haven't seen Qi Yue's ambition clearly. Taking action against Daozong is just the beginning. It won't be long before the royal family's sword will be pointed at them. Then they will understand that they can't be alone."
Everyone nodded, Qi Yue was very ambitious, and wanted to achieve great things through the ages, and bring all the forces in the world under the royal family. No force could survive alone, and they would either succumb to the royal family, or join forces to resist.
"In the opinion of the sect leader, what should we do now?" Ouyang Ye asked.
"Let nature take its course and remain unchanged in response to all changes." Yang Jiuxiao replied: "The next period will be the most turbulent period in the history of the Daqi Dynasty. We don't need to do anything, we just need to be patient and wait for the opportunity."
Ouyang Ye's eyes flashed and he understood what Yang Jiuxiao meant.
There are many forces in the world, and it is impossible for all forces to surrender willingly to the royal family, and those forces are Daozong's allies.
...
A few days later, two figures appeared outside Daozong, a middle-aged man and a young girl. They were Luo Qianchuan and Luo Yunqing.
"May I ask where you two came from?" A Dao Zong disciple looked at the two and asked, feeling a little confused. Almost no one dared to visit Dao Zong now. Why did these two people come?
"Ten Thousand Demons Island." Luo Qianchuan said calmly.
The expressions of those Dao Sect disciples suddenly changed and they glanced at Luo Yunqing. Could this woman be Luo Yunqing, the princess of Ten Thousand Demon Islands?
They thought Luo Qianchuan was Luo Yunqing's bodyguard, but they never thought that the middle-aged man standing in front of them was the master of Ten Thousand Demons Island.
One of the disciples reacted and saluted the two of them: "You two, please come in."
Luo Qianchuan didn't say much and took Luo Yunqing into Daozong.
At the same time that the two entered Daozong, the disciples outside passed the news to the upper level. Not long after, Ouyang Ye got the news and immediately led a group of senior cabinet officials to greet them.
Soon, Ouyang Ye and others met Luo Qianchuan and his daughter.
"Master Ouyang Pavilion." Luo Qianchuan looked at Ouyang Ye and cupped his hands.
"Lord Luo Island has traveled thousands of miles to come to Daozong in person. What's the important matter?" Ouyang Ye said straight to the point, with a serious look on his face. It must be extraordinary for Luo Qianchuan to personally take action.
"I came here this time to take Gu Xing to Ten Thousand Demons Island." Luo Qianchuan said. He heard that Gu Xing did not return to Jiuyou Demon Sect after the battle, but stayed in Dao Sect, so he personally took Luo Qianchuan with him. Yun Qing came to Daozong.
Ouyang Ye and others looked stunned. Are they going to take Gu Xing to Ten Thousand Demons Island?
Is there any connection between Gu Xing and Ten Thousand Demon Islands?
"I wonder why the island owner wanted to take Gu Xing away?" Ouyang Ye asked doubtfully.
Luo Qianchuan glanced at Luo Yunqing next to him and said: "This girl and Gu Xing are in love. I didn't agree to let them be together before, but now I have changed my mind. This time I took Gu Xing to Wanyao Island to give me a gift." They do weddings.”
The expressions of Ouyang Ye and others suddenly became very exciting, and then their eyes all fell on Luo Yunqing. Luo Yunqing lowered his head slightly, with a faint blush on his fair and jade cheeks, which was particularly charming.
"It does match Gu Xing very well." Ouyang Ye stroked his beard and smiled.
Hearing this, Luo Yunqing's face turned even redder, and then he looked up at Ouyang Ye and asked, "Senior, is Gu Xing's mental state good during this period?"
Ouyang Ye looked stunned, then understood the reason why Luo Yunqing asked this question, and replied: "You will know after you see him."
"Where is he now?" Luo Yunqing asked.
"Take him to Jiuxiao Peak." Ouyang Ye looked at Huo Yun and said. Huo Yun nodded and said to Luo Yunqing: "Follow me."
After saying that, he turned around and left, with Luo Yunqing following closely behind him.
"This is not the place to talk. Island Master, follow me." Ouyang Ye said to Luo Qianchuan, and then the group left.
Not long after, Huo Yun brought Luo Yunqing to Jiuxiao Peak.
"Gu Xing lives here, go in and find him." Huo Yun said.
"Thank you, senior." Luo Yunqing said.
"It's a small matter." Huo Yun waved his hand carelessly, and then left in the air.
Luo Yunqing walked forward. After walking a certain distance, a simple pavilion appeared in her sight.
The next moment, a black-robed figure walked out of the pavilion. When he saw Luo Yunqing's figure, his expression suddenly froze there.
Luo Yunqing looked at the familiar figure in front of him, his eyes were slightly moist, and then tears flowed down his cheeks, showing a bit of sadness.
Seeing Luo Yunqing crying, Gu Xing's expression suddenly changed, his figure flashed in front of her, and asked, "Why are you crying?"
"It's not because of you." Luo Yunqing said angrily, raising his fist and hitting Gu Xing's chest.
Gu Xing was stunned for a while, what does it have to do with him?
What did he do wrong?
Although he was very puzzled, he didn't ask the reason. He opened his arms and hugged Luo Yunqing gently. This move made Luo Yunqing's beautiful eyes reveal a strange color. When did this guy understand so well?
Gu Xing naturally didn't understand it by himself, but learned it from Xiao Muyang.
After a long time, Gu Xing let go of his arm, looked at Luo Yunqing and asked, "Why did you come to Daozong?"
"I came to see you." Luo Yunqing said softly.
"Looking for me?" Gu Xing looked surprised and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"
"My father was worried that you would do something stupid, so he brought me to find you and wanted to take you to Ten Thousand Demons Island." Luo Yunqing explained. She originally thought that Gu Xinghui would be too sad because of Xiao Muyang's death, but now it seems, She seemed to be worrying too much.
This guy is so good, but he doesn't look sad at all.
However, she was puzzled by this. Considering Xiao Muyang's weight in Gu Xing's heart, he should not have come out so soon after only ten days.
In the end what happened?
After listening to Luo Yunqing's words, Gu Xing immediately understood her intention. It turned out that she came to Daozong because she was worried about him.
After a moment of silence, he looked at Luo Yunqing and said seriously: "Mu Yang is not dead."
Luo Yunqing's expression changed instantly. He was not dead?
Before Luo Yunqing could ask, Gu Xing continued: "His secret technique can conceal the breath of life, so he thought of using fake death to hide it from Qi Yue."
At this moment, Luo Yunqing's heart was filled with shock, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.
That guy actually faked his death. It was too much for her to be sad for so long.
But when she thought about seeing Xiao Muyang again in the future, the resentment in her heart disappeared. Just lie, just live.
"Where is he now?" Luo Yunqing asked.
"I'm recovering from my injuries in the cave, but I haven't woken up yet," Gu Xing replied.
"Can I go see him?" Luo Yunqing asked.
Gu Xing's expression condensed and he seemed to be hesitant. Yang Jiuxiao had ordered that no one else be allowed to enter the cave, but Yun Qing was not an outsider and was also Mu Yang's family member, so there should be no problem in entering.
"Okay, I'll take you in to see him." Gu Xing said, then took Luo Yunqing's hand and walked towards the cave.
