Longevity Immortal Fate: Begins with Dao Companion

"It's really a twist of fate."

On the way back, Bai Fu's expression was helpless.

At this moment, he was bound by special handcuffs and ankle cuffs.

Although he had verbally agreed to join the Huo family, Huo Qi and the others couldn't guarantee that what they said was true, so they had to resort to this method.

Once they really returned to the Huo family, they wouldn't have a chance to escape.

Moreover, once the Bai family found out about this, it would be difficult for them to go back.

"Ah, this must be our fate," Bai Fu sighed.

Clearly, according to reason, it should have been a complete victory for the Bai family, but it turned out like this...

Bai Fu couldn't understand...

"It's not fate, it's that you didn't consider the variable Gu Changsheng," Huo Qi laughed.

Upon hearing this, Bai Fu looked at the handsome figure in front of him with a complicated expression.

"Indeed, it's the Huo family's fortune to be able to recruit Gu Changsheng."

"That's true," Huo Qi nodded in agreement.

He was actually very afraid.

If it weren't for Gu Changsheng, he would be the one to fail this time.

The one being sent to the Bai family now was probably them...

They never expected that the undercover agent from the Huo family would betray them. Fortunately, Gu Changsheng was powerful enough to destroy the spiritual stone vein. Although some disciples from the Huo family were lost, it didn't matter. After all, there were also disciples from the Bai family who were buried with them. These losses were acceptable.

And more importantly—they had captured two Bai family elders and killed one Bai family elder!

As a result, the Bai family had lost a total of three Foundation Building cultivators. Adding the one who had betrayed them during the previous pursuit of Gu Changsheng, the Bai family had already lost four Foundation Building cultivators recently!

For a cultivation family like theirs, Foundation Building cultivators were already the backbone of the family. The number of Foundation Building cultivators in the entire family would not exceed 20. Losing four people was an extremely huge loss for the entire family!

"Gu Changsheng, when you return to the family this time, I will definitely reward you generously!" Huo Qi said to Gu Changsheng seriously. "Gu Changsheng, if you encounter any problems in the future, feel free to come to me, and I will help you solve them!"

"Okay." Gu Changsheng was overjoyed.

Huo Qi was extremely serious about this.

This meant that he had a Foundation Building cultivator as his trump card in the Huo family!

"Me too, come to me if you need anything," Huo Lang also said.

Gu Changsheng was even more excited.

Two Foundation Building cultivators!

He now had some power of his own in the Huo family!

...

"Why do I feel like this mission is not going smoothly?"

"You're talking nonsense. This mission is a sure thing. We have an undercover agent specially sent to the Bai family, as well as three Foundation Building cultivators, and our son Lingyun, who is outstanding among the Qi Refining cultivators. We will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Bai family this time!"

Inside the Huo family mansion.

With Gu Changsheng and the others in action, many elders sat together waiting for the situation.

This mission emphasized a quick resolution, which could be done within half a day.

They had nothing to do now, just waiting here for a moment.

Huo Qianzhong and the others couldn't tell whether they were happy or worried, but they were more serious.

Huo Qianjun, on the other hand, was extremely confident. The undercover agent he sent was his distant relative, with whom he had been in contact for many years and had provided a lot of useful information. Moreover, they had the advantage in numbers this time. How could they possibly fail?

He had sent his two sons, Huo Lingyun and Huo Kai, to participate in this dangerous mission to showcase their qualifications in front of the many elders. When Huo Lingyun successfully built the Foundation, there would be a chance for his son to become the family head!

"Report, Elder Huo Qi and the others have returned!"

Suddenly, a Huo family disciple shouted excitedly.

"They're back? Let's go, let's go!" Huo Qianzhong was overjoyed.

There was another figure faster than him, and that was Huo Qianjun!

"Haha, I knew my son would be great!"

He quickly walked to the door, but found that neither Huo Lingyun nor Huo Kai were among the returning people!

"Where is my son?" Huo Qianjun asked.

Huo Qi fell silent for a moment.

Seeing his appearance, Huo Qianjun's heart sank.

Huo Qianchong also came out at this time and, upon seeing Gu Changsheng, his expression brightened. "Son-in-law, it's good to see you back safely!"

"Father-in-law." Gu Changsheng called out with a smile.

"Huo Qi, how did the mission go?" Huo Qianchong asked.

"We did not disappoint the family's expectations."

"Very good, very good." Huo Qianchong was overjoyed.

"We also captured two Foundation Building cultivators from the Bai family. After some 'friendly communication,' they are willing to join our Huo family." Gu Changsheng smiled.

"What?" Huo Qianchong was taken aback, his expression filled with joy. "Are you serious?"

"Of course."

"Hahaha, truly worthy of being my son-in-law, this is great!" Huo Qianjun's expression was disdainful. "What does this have to do with you, kid? Recruiting Foundation Building cultivators, isn't that Huo Qi and the others' credit? I wouldn't be surprised if my son also had a lot of credit in it, but it definitely has nothing to do with a Qi Refining cultivator like you."

"No, all of this is thanks to Changsheng!" Huo Qi hurriedly said.

Huo Qianjun was slightly stunned. "Huo Qi, are you joking? What does this have to do with a Qi Refining cultivator like him?"

"It does have something to do with him. Basically, it's all thanks to Changsheng." Huo Qi said seriously.

"Haha, truly worthy of being my son-in-law!" Huo Qianchong looked at Huo Qianjun with a proud expression.

Huo Qianjun's expression was ugly, as if he had eaten a dead fly.

"My son, my son!!!" He hurriedly searched for the bodies of Huo Lingyun and the others.

"Hey, we've completed the mission, why do you have such a gloomy face, Huo Qi? What happened?" Huo Qianchong looked at Huo Qi, who had a constipated expression, next to Gu Changsheng.

"Clan leader, I... I am ashamed of you!"

Huo Qianchong's face was full of question marks. "What do you mean? Wasn't the mission successful? What happened?"

"I... all the other disciples of our Huo family died..."

"What?!!!" Huo Qianjun was as if struck by lightning, trembling all over. He looked at Huo Qi with an incredulous expression and shouted loudly, "Huo Qi, what are you saying, say it again!!!"

Huo Qianchong also looked stunned. "Are you telling the truth?"

Gu Changsheng nodded. "All of those people died."

"What exactly happened!!!" Huo Qianjun was furious.

Gu Changsheng explained the situation.

"Damn it!!! He actually became a traitor!!!" Huo Qianjun, upon hearing that his distant relative had betrayed the Huo family, was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. "Ah, damn it!!! Lingyun!!! Xiao Kai!!!"

"Ah!!! Huo Qianjun was so angry that his aura kept erupting.

Soon, several elders came to suppress him. Huo Qianjun's face turned pale, his expression filled with anger. "Gu Changsheng, why are you the only one who survived? Is there something else going on inside? Did you kill them?!!!"

Gu Changsheng confidently said, "Elder Qianjun, how can you say such things about me? I have sacrificed my head and shed my blood for the family. I didn't expect to be met with such suspicion. Besides, as you have always said, I am just a Qi Refining cultivator. How could I possibly have killed them all?"

"Qianjun, you're not saying the right thing." Huo Qianchong said calmly, "My son-in-law would never do such a thing. You can't make baseless accusations."

"Yes, Elder Qianjun, this matter definitely wasn't done by Changsheng. The Bai family had a numerical advantage, and it was already quite difficult for Changsheng to destroy the spiritual stone mine!" Huo Qi also chimed in.

Huo Qianjun glanced at Gu Changsheng, then left in grief.

He wanted to find the bodies of Huo Lingyun and the others!

"Changsheng, thanks to you." Huo Qianchong looked at Gu Changsheng with a gaze full of fondness.

This was his son-in-law, truly amazing!

After thinking for a moment, Huo Qianchong said, "Changsheng, what reward do you want this time?"

"Anything is fine, Father-in-law, you decide."

"Let me decide? Then I'll give you—"

"Qinghan as your betrothed."
