"The Twelve Metropolitan Gods must be in accord with your will and trust each other. They must not delay or disobey your orders... It's easy to say, but it's extremely difficult to do."
"If there is even the slightest mistake, not only will the souls of these eighty-one people be shattered, but even you who are in the center of the formation will be attacked and either die or be injured."
Moreover, even if he succeeded, Jun Yueze could not guarantee that he could kill Ji Chengfeng, and perhaps Xi Yue would fall into his hands instead.
"Mr. Jun, what you said is consistent with Xiyue's wishes. We must not disobey or delay her orders in the slightest. I think as Xiyue's shadow protectors, we should be able to do it, right?"
Gu Liufeng walked in slowly from the door, with a look of unyielding determination on his handsome face.
Jun Yueze shook his head slowly and said, "I know that you and Xi Yue have shared hardships together. Your intentions and loyalty to Xi Yue are beyond doubt, but your cultivation is too low. The Twelve Capital Gods and Demons require at least twelve cultivators above the God level to guard them."
Gu Liufeng was startled, a look of sadness appeared on his face.
But soon, he thought of something and looked at Xi Yue suddenly, "Xi Yue, do you have a way to help us improve our cultivation in a short period of time?"
Xi Yue frowned and looked extremely ugly.
She finally understood why Jun Yueze was unwilling to tell her how to perform the Thousand Demon Slash.
With her current level of cultivation and alchemy skills, it is certainly possible for her to refine a pill that can improve one's cultivation in a short period of time.
But, that was a breakthrough to the god level after all.
Even if she made Gu Liufeng and the others do it, there was no guarantee that they wouldn't pay any price.
Perhaps, after taking the elixir she made, Gu Liufeng and the others' cultivation level increased and they broke through to the god level.
But from then on, he lost all hope of further promotion.
Even their lifespan would be much shorter than that of ordinary god-level cultivators.
How could she be willing to let her friend suffer such a result
Gu Liufeng looked at Xi Yue's expression and smiled: "Xi Yue, you have a solution, right? It can help us break through to the God level in a short time, but we have to pay a price? For example... we will never be able to advance again in the future?"
Xi Yue frowned and looked at him, "Since you know everything..."
"But I don't care!" Gu Liufeng said firmly, "Since you saved me and my mother in Miluo, I swore to be loyal to you and repay you, but there is so little I can do for you. You have always been the one who paid for me, but I can't help you at all. I can only be a burden to you. Xiyue, if you really regard me as a friend and a trusted subordinate, can you please give me a chance to do something for you and for this world. Even if it costs me, I will do it at all costs."
Xi Yue frowned and said, "Don't joke. With your talent, you may only need a hundred years to break through to the God level, and eventually you can at least be promoted to the Lord God and enjoy a long life. But if you take the elixir that forces a breakthrough now, not only will you never be able to advance, but your life span will only be a few thousand years. Even if you don't care, have you ever thought about Qing Ruo?"
"Sister Xiyue!" Shen Qingruo's voice came from the door. She walked slowly to Gu Liufeng, held his hands, interlocked their fingers, and a beautiful and resolute smile bloomed on her face. (To be continued)
