179: Lead people to the Holy Land

As Chen Guchuan finished speaking, Li Xuan's face lit up with joy.

He had been waiting for this decree for far too long.

It was no exaggeration to say that he had been waiting for this news day and night.

Now that the news had finally arrived, his heart was at ease.

Well, actually, it hadn't been that long.

Only a few months, in fact.

“Did Your Majesty mention when we should set out?”

Li Xuan's eyes gleamed as he looked at Chen Guchuan and asked.

Hearing this, Chen Guchuan's expression turned serious.

“He didn't, but the sooner the better. After all, you wouldn't want Your Majesty to wait for you for too long, would you?”

Seeing Chen Guchuan say this, Li Xuan nodded hurriedly and spoke up.

“In that case, give me one day. I'll go inform Your Highness and have my family prepare to leave the Heavenly Saint Continent with me.”

Hearing Li Xuan's request, Chen Guchuan agreed.

“Then I shall give you one day.”

He had also returned to the Heavenly Saint Continent with the intention of bringing his own family to the Sanctuary; after all, he wasn't heartless and had clansmen of his own.

As the saying goes, when one person attains the Dao, even their pets ascend to heaven.

Now that he had the ability, he naturally wanted to give his clansmen a helping hand.

Of course, if they acted too arrogantly and tarnished his reputation, he would not hesitate to toss them back to the Heavenly Saint Continent.

After taking his leave from Li Xuan, Chen Guchuan quickly found Lin Zilong.

When he saw Lin Zilong, the latter was training the army.

With Lin Zilong's Peak Great Emperor strength combined with the Cultivation method left by Gu Jixiao, he had a distinct advantage in leading the army's Cultivation.

Under Lin Zilong's leadership, the strength of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty's army grew day by day.

Gazing at the army before him, Lin Zilong showed a look of satisfaction. But just then, he sensed something and abruptly turned around, seeing Chen Guchuan, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

The moment he saw Chen Guchuan, Lin Zilong was inwardly shocked, for he couldn't detect Chen Guchuan's presence at all, nor could he feel even a hint of his Qi.

“Guchuan, when did you get back? And what is your current Realm?”

Lin Zilong soon recovered, stepping forward with a laugh to embrace Chen Guchuan, and began exchanging pleasantries in a familiar tone.

His relationship with Chen Guchuan was already good, and after they were both granted emperor creation pills by Gu Jixiao, it became even better.

Facing Lin Zilong's inquiry, Chen Guchuan waved his hand and spoke with a serious expression.

“You should be clear about the purpose of my return. In that case, get ready. In one day, follow me to Your Majesty's side.”

As Chen Guchuan finished, Lin Zilong's expression also turned serious, and he nodded.

“One day is enough, but I still want to ask—did Your Majesty only permit me to go alone, or can I bring some people with me?”

“Your Majesty didn't explicitly say. He only told me to return to the Heavenly Saint Continent and bring you and that fellow Li Xuan over.”

“But I reckon Your Majesty wouldn't care about such matters. So, if you want to bring anyone, just bring them along.”

Chen Guchuan spoke after a moment's thought.

After all, Gu Jixiao hadn't said anything, and he hadn't asked.

Furthermore, he also needed to bring his clansmen to the Sanctuary, so there was no way he would stop Lin Zilong from bringing people to Your Majesty's side.

If something went wrong and Your Majesty decided to punish them, Lin Zilong and Li Xuan could help share some of the heat.
