"So, you are the spy deliberately placed by the Hell's Gate clan leader right beside me?"
"The purpose was to study the weaknesses of our combined formation technique and disrupt our battle array at a critical moment? To deliver me a fatal blow?"
Just returned to the Chu family, Chu Long stared in shock at the exquisitely beautiful woman standing before him, her figure graceful and alluring.
She was a woman he had encountered on the frontlines,
named Shu Yun,
a Holy Maiden from a sacred land.
"Yes, it was the order given by Min Xu, the Third Gate Lord!"
Shu Yun took a deep breath and said.
"Then why are you telling me now?"
Chu Long asked with suspicion.Wouldn't it have been better to strike directly when the time was right?
"Because I clearly know that they only regard me as a puppet and a pawn!"
"And also, I..."
Shu Yun hesitated somewhat,
not only was she a puppet and a pawn,
but also a backup plaything!
This she was very well aware of.
Min Xu raised many young girls,
brainwashing and educating them from childhood,
forcing them to obey the clan leader's will!
When those girls grew up,
the beautiful ones were kept as his own concubines,
while those who did not catch his eye were sold directly to major brothels to repay their upbringing costs!
This was the deed of a Martial Emperor!
And this time, being assigned to become Chu Long's wife,
was also a complete chance for Shu Yun to break free from them!
Because whether it was her appearance or figure,
she was destined to become Min Xu's concubine.
But how many concubines did Min Xu have?
No one could count them,
perhaps not even he himself!
So she did not hesitate to confess everything to Chu Long.
As for the outcome,
in her view, at least this was better than becoming a puppet.
"And also what?"
Chu Long asked suspiciously.
"I'll say it another time!"
Jiao Yueying smiled, "Shu Yun probably means she has already been completely conquered by you, right?"
The women around, including Shen Biyao, covered their mouths to giggle softly.
They all knew Chu Long's combat power well.
Although his harem had already exceeded thirty,
there was absolutely no one who had not been conquered by him!
Chu Long smiled,
looking at Shu Yun: "I'm very happy that you can tell me all this!"
"Since you have married me, you will have only one identity from now on—that is, Chu Long's wife. As for that Third Gate Lord Min Xu, hmph, one day I will make him, just like that Seventh Gate Lord Mu Tuo, die without even a trace left!"
"But this matter I need to report to the clan leader. Since Hell's Gate can send you, surely others have infiltrated our family as well, so we must be cautious!"
"The destruction of Hell's Gate is only a matter of time!"
Chu Long said seriously.
In fact, they all knew well
that with the Beast God's strength, wiping out Hell's Gate was nothing difficult.
But why still let their Chu family take action?
It was to train them,
to cultivate the growth of the Chu family!
Therefore, Hell's Gate must be destroyed!
In the following period,
Chu Jingyue first sent people into the Heart Refining Pagoda to undergo trials,
mainly to see if anyone could obtain opportunities!
"This time the Chrono Pagoda will remain open for a very long time, so try to obtain opportunities in the Heart Refining Pagoda, so they can be digested inside the Chrono Pagoda!"
Chu Jingyue notified everyone.
He was somewhat regretful,
as his son Chu Yan still had not returned,
missing the opening of the Chrono Pagoda several times!
"Yun Ling, I heard you went to the Canghai Domain to contract a Nether Leviathan. Did you succeed?"
At the entrance of the Heart Refining Pagoda,
Chu Zhan asked Chu Yunling beside him.
"Contracted, it's a Demon Saint-level existence!"
Chu Yunling nodded, then asked, "Do you know when Chu Yan will return?"
"No idea. But I heard he went to the Undying Fire Sea, which is extremely terrifying. Only he, who controls anomalous fire, has a chance of survival there. Anyone else who goes would be doomed!"
"What? Looking for him about something?"
"Yes. A divine beast's trace was found in the Canghai Domain, but unfortunately a divine fire blocked the way. So I want to see if Chu Yan is back to remove that divine fire, then I can enter and search for the divine beast!"
Chu Yunling said.
Previously, she had gone to that underwater volcano,
but even as a Martial Emperor, the flames there were impossible to resist.
She guessed it might be divine fire,
and only Chu Yan among their Chu family could probably tame divine fire!
Chu Zhan was surprised,
"There are actually divine beasts and divine fire in the Canghai Domain?"
"Yes. That sea area is vast and very dangerous. Although not forbidden land, it's still unreachable by Martial Emperors!"
Chu Yunling explained.
That sea was truly strange,
with divine fire and a phoenix shadow.
The phoenix was a divine beast,
and such a creature had not appeared in the Mortal Realm for countless years!
According to her guess,
the phoenix should be at the bottom of the volcano,
but the divine fire surging inside blocked her entry,
so she could only focus on Chu Yan!
Actually, they could also seek help from the Beast God,
but their Chu family was not without means to handle this,
so she felt it was better not to trouble the Beast God!
Afterwards, everyone entered the Heart Refining Pagoda.
One month later,
the Chrono Pagoda opened again,
and all core members and geniuses of the Chu family gathered and disappeared once more,
just like last time.
The only difference was,
this time,
no unruly forces appeared anymore,
because they all understood
that when the Chu family reappeared,
their strength might have soared again!
Inside the Dragon Emperor Palace,
Long Yuan frowned slightly.
After this opening, internal time would pass for 10,000 years.
Long Yuan felt this long enough for many people to break through to God-tier!
"In that case, the God-tier cultivation techniques should be handed to them!"
Long Yuan flicked his fingers,
two golden beams of light flew from his fingertips,
entering the Chrono Pagoda,
landing in front of Chu Tianyang.
"What is this?"
Chu Tianyang stretched out both hands,
the golden light transformed into two golden jade slips that fell into his hands.
His divine sense probed inside,
and Chu Tianyang's eyes suddenly widened: "God-tier cultivation techniques 'Heaven and Earth Qiankun Art' and 'Mystic Heaven Nine Transformations'?"
"These are cultivation techniques bestowed by the Beast God to help us break through to God-tier!"
Among them, "Heaven and Earth Qiankun Art" is a realm cultivation technique,
while "Mystic Heaven Nine Transformations" is a body refinement technique.
Chu Tianyang was extremely excited,
treating these two treasures as priceless gifts in his hands.
"God-tier cultivation techniques. With these, I wonder if I can reach the Martial God realm in 1,000 years?"
His Myriad Spirits Saint Body had already evolved into the "Heavenly Spirit Emperor Body,"
greatly accelerating his cultivation speed!
"And Jingyue, under the blessing of clan fortune, cultivates even faster than me, maybe he's the one who will break through to Martial God first!"
Chu Tianyang memorized the techniques and then passed them to other Martial Emperor experts.
For a time,
all the Martial Emperor experts were filled with burning passion,
as if they could already see the day they would break through to Martial God!
Not long after the Chu family group entered the Chrono Pagoda,
Long Yuan's ears once again heard the system's voice,
indicating the Chu family population had reached 100,000.
[Congratulations, the host's protected family population has exceeded 100,000]!
