CHAPTER 576 HEADING OFF

“Starving people shall fill the land and your family will die out? T-this…”

Ming Zuotang’s lips quivered, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. “How is this

possible?”

“Chen Hao is already dead, and the Ming Family has confirmed that this is the step to change our

fortunes. H-How could our family die out?” Ming Zuotang could not believe it. He slammed the piece of

paper onto the table.

He didn’t know why, but he was no longer in a good mood like he was before. All that remained was a

hint of uneasiness deep within his heart.

“Go and ask Ming Jiaqing how things are at their end! Why haven’t they returned?” Ming Zuotang

demanded.

Right then, a cloud of green poisonous fog appeared in their range of sight.

The young son of the Ming Family who was about to make a call collapsed onto the floor, foaming at

the mouth.

“What happened?” The crowd was shocked.

After that, more and more people started to collapse.

Ming Zuotang was terrified. “T-this is the Thousand Years Poisonous Fog!” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

After he said that, the Ming Family’s eyes widened as they saw a can explode within the Ming Family

hall.

Chen Hao appeared in the courtyard.

The Ming family were screaming for their lives.

At night.

In the Yang Family’s mansion, at the courtyard Chen Hao was in, Gu Yuxiao awoke slowly.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw Chen Hao sitting at the side of the room, drinking tea.

His body looked slim, but it gave off a sense of safety.

“You saved me again?”

“If it wasn’t me, who else could it be?” Chen Hao smiled bitterly.

“I don’t want to owe you anything. Not even one little thing!”

Gu Yuxiao sat up in her bed. Her fair face seemed to redden every time she saw Chen Hao.

“Tell me, what do you want me to do? I, Gu Yuxiao, will do it, even if I die trying. From then onward, we

will not owe each other anything!” Gu Yuxiao said.

Master Ghost’s words had stuck themselves deeply in Gu Yuxiao’s mind. She would love this person,

but this person would not love her back.

Gu Yuxiao was an arrogant person. She would not allow something like this to happen.

However, she couldn’t bring herself to kill Chen Hao either.

Actually, when Chen Hao kissed her, she had felt a strange sort of feeling arise in her heart.

“Really? What if I ask you to be my wife?” Chen Hao asked playfully.

“*sshole! Who wants to be your wife?” Gu Yuxiao said angrily. Her eyes seemed to well up with tears.

“I’m kidding. I already have a wife, so even if you wanted to marry me, I wouldn’t take you as my wife.

However, I have saved your life twice in total now. I’m giving you a chance to return one of the favors

right now. I have something to ask you, and you need to tell me!” Chen Hao said, putting his teacup

down.

Gu Yuxiao took a deep breath. “What is it?”

“Your current journey to find the Sea Palace is a task that your great-grandmother gave you. In your

dream just now, you mentioned two people. One was your maternal great-grandmother, and the other

was your paternal great-grandmother. I want to know, what was the task they asked you to do? I know

for sure that you are not going there to rob the graves!” Chen Hao asked.

This was extremely suspicious. Unless they were like the Ming Family, otherwise, why would they send

someone to investigate the Sea Palace?

When Gu Yuxiao heard this, she felt rather conflicted. She seemed to be considering whether or not

she could speak up about this.

“It actually doesn’t matter if you tell me or not. I can be honest with you. I’m going to look for the Sea

Palace too. To be precise, I’m going to the Sea Palace to look for a dead person!” Chen Hao said.

Gu Yuxiao looked at Chen Hao.

She had always been someone who kept her promises. Chen Hao was also looking for the Sea

Palace, so there was no need to hide it from him anymore.

“I-I’m also going to look for a corpse. I need to bring it back to my ancestral home, which is the wish of

my great-grandmothers! This corpse… has a really big connection with a really important secret! Plus, I

think this corpse is not someone from our family!” Gu Yuxiao said.

“As for what secret it is, there’s no use in asking me, because I don’t know what that secret is either.

That’s all I know!”

“Ancestral home? Where is your ancestral home?” Chen Hao asked.

As expected, it wasn’t far off from what he had deduced.

Apart from himself, there was another group of people who also knew about the matter of the god and

the girl who descended from the heavens.

He wanted to find the white-shirted girl in order to bury her together with the god, as well as find out

exactly what went on between her and that god.

As for Gu Yuxiao, why did she want to bring her back to her ancestral home?

However, Gu Yuxiao didn’t look like she was lying to him.

If he had the chance, he wouldn’t mind going over to visit this ancestral home.

“I’m sorry. I cannot spread the location of my ancestral home!” Gu Yuxiao said.

“Alright. You don’t have to tell me, and I won’t force you. However, I hope the two of us can reach our

goals. My fleet will reach by tonight. There have been tsunamis happening recently, and I’m afraid that

you won’t be able to reach the Sea Palace on your own. If you want, I can bring you along with me!”

Chen Hao said.

Gu Yuxiao didn’t say anything, which meant that she had agreed.

Could it be that what Master Ghost said was true? There were some forms of fate which she just

couldn’t escape from.

Would she really fall in love with this person?

She was struggling inwardly.

The next day.

The Chen Family’s large fleet had arrived, and after Chen Hao got on, they set off.

“Young Master Chen, the waves are too big, and a tsunami is about to happen again. Do we keep

going?” the Chen Family’s bodyguard came up and asked.

Chen Hao looked at the map. There was still a long way to go in order to reach the Sea Palace.

After a few hundred years, the location of the Sea Palace might have moved, and Chen Hao didn’t dare

to delay it much longer.

“We will keep going. Before the sun sets today, we must reach Mo Island. We have to review our plan

going forward there,” Chen Hao ordered.

This fleet had been specially tested, thanks to the Chen Family paying a large sum of money for it.

The whole reason for this was for them to be able to withstand the harsh weather at sea.

“Yes!” the bodyguards replied.

When he looked at the large, unending sea, Chen Hao couldn’t help but think about Su Tongxin again

from his position on the deck.

Su Tongxin, where are you? If you aren’t dead, what are you doing now?

Chen Hao’s hands gripped the railing tightly, feeling rather conflicted.

Because now, all of his problems were pointing toward one direction, which was the League of the Sun.

Su Tongxin and his uncle Chen Pingan’s mysterious disappearance, the god descending to earth and

the heavenly soldiers’ bodies falling from the sky—all of these incidents bore the trails of the League of

the Sun.

What kind of an organization was this?

They had been around for over ten thousand years, yet no one had managed to lift its mysterious veil.

Also, what was up with that god who looked just like Chen Hao? Could there be an actual unknown

world way up in the heavens?

These things were causing Chen Hao’s brain to nearly explode.

However, Chen Hao was feeling positive. After settling the matter of the white-shirted girl, he believed

that he would be able to find Su Tongxin!

Chen Hao was deep in thought.

However, Chen Hao’s anxious eyes and side profile were all observed by Gu Yuxiao.

She had stood by the side and watched Chen Hao for a long time. Who knew that a powerful man like

him still had a soft spot and the ability to feel sad?

Gu Yuxiao felt as if she had seen his other side.

“I need to change my bandages, but you gave me two types of medicine. I don’t know which one I

should use,” Gu Yuxiao said softly.

Only then did Chen Hao gather his thoughts and walk into the cabin.

However, a bodyguard standing on the deck of the ship was currently staring at the bottom of the

ocean confusedly.

That was because he thought he had just caught sight of a giant creature, one of impossible girth,

slowly passing by under the sea.

He rubbed his eyes, and once again, nothing was there.

Could it be that he was mistaken?
