I feed the worms with my body, I am the evil demon

Gu Xiu had no interest in this gathering of geniuses. He was happy to have Xiao Yu deal with those demonic people.

Originally, Gu Xiu planned to take advantage of Xiao Yu's recent series of actions and find a suitable opportunity to go out to Black Mo Mountain with them to collect some blood food. However, it backfired as Xiao Yu was not yet ready to face the four sects and nine clans head-on.

Now is not the time, so he can only give up this plan temporarily.

It is also because the strength of Heimoshan is too weak. Compared with the four sects and nine clans, it is completely weak and can only make small moves behind the scenes.

Now that with the help of the Six Demonic Sects, it will take a long time before there will be a raging war.

As for how Xiao Yu laid out his plans and how he made deals with the devil, Gu Xiu didn't bother to ask. He just wanted to form the golden elixir as soon as possible.

Raindrops fell down from the sky in lines, as if a natural barrier enveloped the entire world. And Gu Xiu, who had just walked out of the Tianshan Fire Village, did not choose to fly in the air but instead walked in the mountains and forests.

His footsteps stepped lightly on the rain-wet soil, and he walked forward step by step.

The mud on the road bloomed into gray flowers on his white boots.

The cold raindrops slid down his long black hair, like crystal clear pearls, emitting a faint luster.

At this moment, Gu Xiu felt that his body and mind had been relaxed and happy as never before, and his mind became ethereal, as if he was integrated with the surrounding environment, enjoying this rare tranquility.

Every drop of rain became extremely slow in his eyes, even stagnant. They swayed in the air, shining faintly.

Gu Xiu stared at the raindrops quietly and stretched out his palms.

The rain falling from the sky falls on the palm of your hand very briefly.

The nymph lurks underground and metamorphoses, emerging into a cicada.

Some cicadas only need two or three years to be unearthed, while others have to wait for more than ten years or even twenty years before they can see the sun.

After seeing the sun, there may only be one summer.

Life is short like dewdrops dissipating, the road is long, life is an accident, death is inevitable, everything is a passing cloud.

As if aware of Gu Xiu's change in mood at this moment, the thirteen immortal cicadas let out bursts of sad chirping. They all poked their little heads out of Gu Xiu's palm and stared at him, as if asking him what happened.

Gu Xiu's eyebrows stretched, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and he looked far away. Reflected in his brown eyes, he saw a young man sitting cross-legged in a cave, shaking his ankles.

The young man raised his head high and his nose was as straight as a mountain peak, wanting to compete with God.

He opened his mouth to yell, his eyes blazing, and the raindrops that were stagnant in their eyes suddenly fell, hitting the ground and breaking into water splashes.

The cloud curtain drooped, thunder snakes danced wildly, and the dim sky and earth were briefly illuminated amidst the roaring sound. Gu Xiu's clothes shook, forming an invisible barrier covering a hundred feet in radius, and all the dense raindrops fell in other directions.

He looked down at the immortal cicadas crowded in his palm, smiling brightly.

"Let's go and kill people."

The sound of cicadas pierced the night sky loudly.

…

Since he can't leave Mount Heimo for the time being, Gu Xiu simply targets the late-stage foundation-building monks in the inner mountain.

For three years, Gu Xiu killed countless people. He could no longer remember how many foundation-building cultivators he had killed, whether they were clan members or casual cultivators.

He didn't care at all whether it affected Xiao Yu's plan, but the killings in the past few years had made many monks in the inner mountain panic.

They only knew that there was a murderous maniac in the inner mountains, but they couldn't find any clues.

Even the Danjie monks came out to look for them, but Gu Xiu dodged them one by one, and the already scattered situation in Heimo Mountain escalated again.

The people in the clan blamed the casual cultivator for this, and the casual cultivator said that it was the alchemy cultivator in the clan who shamelessly attacked and killed him.

As a result, conflicts have continued to arise in recent years, and each of the twelve families and five sects cannot bear to take action.

In the Xiao family.

Xiao Yu has been paying attention to the movements of the four sects and nine clans, and he couldn't help but frowned when he heard the rumors in recent days.

Originally, the chaos in Uchiyama was within his control, but now such a sudden incident caught him off guard.

Xiao Yu, with a gloomy face, pushed open a door.

In the dark secret room, the figure of a man in purple robe was locked by chains with dense runes, unable to move.

Upon noticing the movement, the purple-robed man raised his head slightly, revealing a weak face.

"Sir, do you want to drag the Xiao family into a place of eternal destruction?"

The man's name is Xiao Qing, the head of the Xiao family and Xiao Yu's biological father.

"Father, you are old and confused." Xiao Yu's face was calm, and there was no wave in his eyes.

"You bastard, if you do this and wait for the ancestor to come out of seclusion, you will definitely not take into account the family's feelings." Xiao Qing, who was in the late stage of pill formation, raised his head and sighed helplessly, "Stop it, kid!"

Listening to these words, Xiao Yu's face finally showed a wave of emotion, a smile, a hint of ridicule, and more of sarcasm.

"Father, you are really short-sighted. Our ancestor is no longer the ancestor he was back then. His previous injuries were too serious and he was not cruel enough at the time. Otherwise, our Xiao family would not have ended up in this situation."

Xiao Qing suddenly lowered his head and met his eyes. As if he thought of something, his eyes were horrified, "You rebellious son, you...what did you do to the ancestor?"

"Haha, I didn't do anything. Father, you just need to know that there is no need to rely on the ancestors. I, Xiao Yu, will lead the Xiao family to the pinnacle of the entire world of immortality in the near future."

"Hand over your position as the head of the family obediently, father."

Xiao Yu stepped forward step by step, and finally knelt at Xiao Qing's feet. He raised his face and smiled innocently.

Xiao Qing was stunned. He loved his son very much when he was old. The smile in front of him was just like the young man leaning on his shoulder back then. He just didn't know why he became like this now.

Seeing Xiao Qing speechless, Xiao Yu slowly stood up, "Half a year later, I will hold a postponed Danjie celebration. At that time, the twelve families and five sects of Heimo Mountain and the leaders of major forces will all be here."

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Qing heard the hidden meaning of his words.

Xiao Yu, who had just turned around and was about to leave, slowly glanced at half of his face. His half of his face flickered in the weak candlelight.

"A small Heimo Mountain has so many forces entrenched. I think it's time to clean it up."

After that, Xiao Yu walked straight to the door of the secret room, and a shadow slowly condensed from the wall next to him in front of him.

"Fourth Holy Son."

Xiao Yu immediately bowed, "Then I'll trouble you, Senior."

The shadow chuckled, "No problem."

…

One day, just after Gu Xiu devoured a foundation-building cultivator, he noticed something strange in the spiritual sea.

The spiritual sea under the alchemy furnace spread and collapsed.

The alchemy furnace emitted layers of red flames to suppress it, and then began to absorb the water of the spiritual sea.

"Very good, I've finally waited for this opportunity."

The golden cicada wings behind him spread out, and Gu Xiu rushed to the Flame Valley at a high speed without hesitation.
