Chapter 275 Divorcing Wife in Place of Father
Before dissipating, the black-robed leader roared in despair, "Impossible! Impossible! How could the heart of the Demon God be sealed!"

Xu Hechen watched their disappearing figures and said softly, "The demon god has been purified, and the power attached to him has naturally vanished."

Liu Sijun gripped Gu Changzhou's hand tightly, looking at the rising sun on the horizon: "Perhaps, the true seal is not annihilation, but letting the light shine into every dark corner."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled.

With the Demon God's heart sealed, dealing with the Heavenly Ruins Palace will be much easier.

According to Xu Hechen, nearly half of the evil cultivators in Tianxu Palace had used the power of the Demon God's Heart.

This will definitely be a major blow.

This is the perfect opportunity for Yu the Great, the Fenglei Kingdom, and various cultivation sects to launch a counterattack.

However, everyone was exhausted from sealing the Demon God's heart and planned to leave first to recuperate before discussing the details of clearing out the Heavenly Ruins Palace together.

The Kingdom of Wind and Thunder.

Upon arriving, Liu Sijun noticed that the Eye of Wind and Thunder was still faintly visible, though it had faded considerably since they left.

Moreover, the spiritual energy in Fenglei Kingdom has become much purer, and the evil cultivators who had been lingering nearby have disappeared.

Upon reaching the border between Fenglei Kingdom and Dayu Kingdom, Tong Lei parted ways with them: "Lord, we'll return to Wuji Tower first. You can summon us again when we're besieging Tianxu Palace."

Gu Changzhou nodded: "You all get some rest!"

Xu Hechen took two steps forward and took out several pill bottles from his bag: "Take these pills."

"Oh, I can't possibly accept this."

Xu Hechen: "My disciple has been married to your master for many years, and you all call her Madam. What's there to be embarrassed about?"

Gu Changzhou spoke up again: "Since Master has spoken, you should take them. These are pills personally refined by Master, far superior to those made by ordinary alchemists!"

Pills of the same grade, one superior and one inferior, have vastly different effects.

Back at Wuji Tower, several experts discovered that their cultivation was showing signs of a breakthrough, and the pills given by Xu Hechen came in handy, much to their delight.

Of course, this is something.

Upon arriving at the palace, Ji Qiyuan and several of his generals who had fought against the evil cultivators were present.

Seeing them filled me with joy.

“You’re finally back. You’ve been gone for three years.”

Li Qing asked in surprise, "So long?"

“Yes, we were very worried about this. However, ten days ago, the arrogant disciples of Tianxu Palace suddenly retreated. I saw with my own eyes that some disciples actually turned into black smoke and disappeared without a trace.” Ji Qiyuan said in a relaxed tone, “At that time, I knew that it must be because you successfully sealed the heart of the Demon God that this happened.”

Liu Sijun: "The passage of time must be different in those mysterious spaces we are in than here."

The group briefly explained how the demon god's heart was sealed.

Liu Sijun took Xu Hechen and Li Qing back to Yougu Palace, while Gu Changzhou returned to the Molin Army's garrison.

After finishing up the military affairs that had accumulated during this period, Gu Changzhou immediately returned to Zhongzhou City.

Bei Chenshu looked at Gu Changzhou and sighed, "So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. You, Mo Linhou, haven't changed at all, while I've gotten a few more wrinkles around my eyes."

"Your Majesty's imperial might seems even stronger."

Time really flies; in the blink of an eye, he and Si Jun have been married for over seven years.

The moment Liu Sijun's face flashed through his mind, he heard Bei Chenshu say, "Why didn't the Lady of the Marquis come this time? I haven't seen her since you got married!"

When Lady Hou was a resident alchemist in the palace, she did a lot for the Beichen royal family.

If it weren't for this couple, they might have been taken advantage of by the Xuanji Hall and the Blood Spirit Sect, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"This sealing of the Demon God's heart has taken too long; she still has important matters to attend to back at the sect!"

Bei Chenshu nodded and said, "That's true. By the way, there's one more thing. Your manor has been rebuilt by my orders, but..." Bei Chenshu gestured to the eunuch beside him to say.

As an emperor, it was indeed inappropriate for him to discuss the family affairs of his subjects.

"As soon as the mansion was built, your mother moved in with your cousin."

Gu Changzhou remained silent, his expression unreadable.

“That’s your mother. If she wants to move in, I can’t stop her.”

The Great Yu Kingdom was governed by benevolence and filial piety. He knew about the relationship between Xiao Qianrui and Gu Changzhou, but the common people did not.

"I understand."

After leaving the palace, Gu Changzhou did not rush back to his residence.

Instead, they headed straight for the secret realm.

He vaguely sensed signs that his cultivation was about to break through.

The last time I came, I was with Si-kun.

Gu Changzhou really didn't expect that this stay would last for another two months, and his cultivation level would soar to the peak of the Integration stage.

After he emerged from the secret realm and returned to the Marquis's residence.

Just then, she heard the clinking of a cup: "I haven't even drunk the tea you offered, so you're not my family-oriented wife."

Gu Changzhou strode over to Liu Sijun's side, took her hand, and said, "Jun'er is my lawfully wedded wife. We have already paid respects to our ancestors. Why do we need your consent?"

Xiao Qianrui's expression froze.

The two of them really had a tacit understanding; Liu Sijun arrived first, and Gu Changzhou followed right after.

She had heard that Gu Changzhou disappeared immediately after leaving the palace, and she thought it was the same as last time, that he wouldn't be back for a while after leaving.

Biqing no longer feels the same love for Gu Changzhou as before.

More than anything, it was fear.

Xiao Qianrui, however, was not afraid: "I am your mother. A new bride must serve me tea after entering the family. If she does not, I will not acknowledge her."

Whether you acknowledge it or not is not important.

After saying this, Gu Changzhou took out paper and pen from the bottle and laid them on the tea table. He then wrote: "Divorce my wife on behalf of my father."

Xiao Qianrui caught a glimpse of those four large characters and her body suddenly swayed.

"Gu Changzhou, I raised you, how could you be so heartless as to do such a morally reprehensible thing?"

Gu Changzhou raised his sharp eyes and stared directly at Xiao Qianrui: "You dare to mention the words 'moral principles' to me? Long ago, when you and your lover Yun Bo killed my father, you trampled the words 'moral principles' under your feet."

Xiao Qianrui's eyes flashed: "This happened so many years ago, why are you still bringing it up?"

Gu Changzhou was so angry at Xiao Qianrui that he laughed: "Fine, I'll let it go if you kill her, and I'll let it go!"

Gu Changzhou's cold gaze fell on Bi Qing.

Startled, Biqing backed away and fell onto the seat next to her with a thud: "Cousin, no, don't."

Xiao Qianrui shouted without any regard for her image, "Gu Changzhou, are you crazy? She's your own sister! How could you say that!"

Biqing didn't know that before.

She only thought that her aunt was the best person in the world to her.

But ever since she and her aunt returned to the Xiao family, she has suffered cold treatment from the Xiao family and has overheard many people talking about her, so she began to doubt her own background.

Is it true, as they say, that I am not a daughter of the Xiao family?

She was actually her aunt's illegitimate daughter with another man.
