After time traveling with my best friend, we unified the world of immortals and demons

Two hundred and ninety-six.

It sounds like a lot alone, but combined with the mortality rate in the Yin-Yang Secret Realm and the accumulation over thousands of years, 296 people are not only not many, but too few.

Jiang Dai then said: "There is another point that is very scary when you think about it. In fact, the eldest princess not only captured me, Xiao Yubai, Li Xiaoqi and Zheng Liang, but there were more than 20 other monks with us. , but they are all gone at this time.”

"Those in the noble family are all 'old people' from before, and they did not enter the secret realm this time."

"And apart from the eldest princess, isn't there anyone else in the Beauty Shark clan who has captured the monk?"

As her words fell one after another, Li Xiaoqi shuddered subconsciously.

Where did everyone else go? Did the high priest send guards to arrest people?

Thinking hard!

I'm afraid many monks are in trouble.

Gu Zhao was just shocked at first, but she quickly came to her senses and comforted everyone: "They must have a purpose in arresting people, and it cannot be a simple killing, so the others should still be alive."

She actually thought of a possibility - sacrifice!

Or think about it this way, the holy fruit mentioned by the high priest should be the fruit that can prolong life. So how can such a heaven-defying fruit be mass-produced so that all the common people of the Mermaid clan can have a share?

The lifespan of each race is fixed, and it cannot be increased on a large scale unless it is compensated with something else, which is another sense of exchanging lives for lives.

After Gu Zhao's reminder, everyone suddenly remembered that the Holy Fruit would come, and felt a little relieved. Others should be fine for the time being.

……

In the next few days, the eldest princess did not take the initiative to find them, and everyone ignored her.

When they should go to the palace, they should go to the palace, and when they should stroll around the city, they should wander as hard as they can.

Try your best to find the place where the others were imprisoned before the Holy Fruit Meeting.

Seeing that Gu Zhao and the others were not in a hurry, as time passed, the eldest princess became the first to become unable to sit still.

She endured it for eight days, and finally blocked the way of the caregivers that night.

Only then did everyone realize that the eldest princess's cultivation had actually reached the stage of becoming a god!

Gu Zhao thought to himself, no wonder the princess wanted to go out. I am afraid it was because of the "curse" that she could not ascend if she stayed here, so she was so anxious.

It's good to be anxious. Once people are anxious, they will subconsciously lose their sense of proportion.

Gu Zhao smiled and said: "Hello, princess! Why are you so interested in visiting us today?"

The eldest princess narrowed her eyes, completely missing the lazy and charming look before.

She chuckled: "I underestimated you before."

At this point, she waved her sleeves and sat down gracefully, "Tell me, what have you discovered these days?"

This is the plan to completely show off.

But Gu Zhao would not let her lead the way. She smiled slightly and avoided answering, "I wonder what the princess is sincere about?"

The eldest princess frowned, looked around and said, "What do you want?"

Shen Mo lowered his head and played with his hands.

Jiang Dai twirled her hair with her fingers.

Xiao Yubai and Li Xiaoqi raised their heads and counted the ceiling.

In the end, the eldest princess's eyes fell back on Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao smiled brightly, "It's nothing, I just want to see the legendary holy fruit."

Now the eldest princess was really confused, "What do you want the fruit for?"

"I won't bother you, Princess. Princess, just give it to me."

Hearing this, the eldest princess spread her hands indifferently, and two fruits appeared in her white and jade palms.

Gu Zhao took the holy fruit, and his spiritual power was running on it, carefully sensing the energy in the holy fruit.

Suddenly, her fingertips moved slightly, and there was actually a weak power of time in the holy fruit, and this feeling was very similar to the feeling that the flower of the other side gave her.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Gu Zhao collected the fruit quietly.

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows, perhaps out of love for talents, and reminded her: "This fruit is not a good thing. If you use it to extend your life, you will eventually pay the price."

Unexpectedly, Gu Zhao replied matter-of-factly: "I know, isn't it just for the sake of human life?"

The eldest princess's pupils suddenly shrank, and she pointedly said: "You really know a lot."

What happened next was much smoother.

Gu Zhao and the others told the story of the investigation. The more they listened, the more shocked the eldest princess became. She did not expect that in just a few days, these people in front of them would find out so much.

Even the high priest and the royal family were able to find out. It seemed that she really looked down on these children.

The eldest princess is already 986 years old this year, and the people she cares for are indeed children in her eyes.

After everyone had finished speaking, the eldest princess calmed down and then said: "I saw that you have good talents, so I kept you in the princess mansion. I didn't expect that you really didn't disappoint me."

"Your guesses are almost all true, but our royal family doesn't actually know much about the high priest. We only know that it should be related to the holy monument."

"Holy Monument?"

Finally hearing a new word, Gu Zhao thought to himself that the eldest princess should know many secrets.

The eldest princess nodded. Now that things have happened, she no longer holds back. "Do you still remember the 'curse' I told you?"

"Actually, I still don't know whether this 'curse' is good or bad."

"The good thing is that the 'curse' saved our beautiful shark family back then; the bad thing is that it also trapped us here forever..."

Listening to the eldest princess's narration, Gu Zhao and others finally understood the true inside story of the "curse".

Thousands of years ago, the world shook and the ocean tide surged. The beautiful sharks living in the deep sea suffered a disaster. At the critical moment, a mirror suddenly dropped from the sky. The deep sea became stable and the beautiful sharks were saved. However, at the same time, they soon discovered that they Trapped.

At first, the tribesmen were panicked, but with the emergence of the high priest and the discovery that the holy fruit had the effect of extending lifespan, the royal family at that time deliberately elevated the status of the high priest in order to stabilize the mood of the tribe.

The tribesmen quickly got out of the panic and even began to enjoy their extra lifespan.

It was just that the royal family did not expect that with the accumulation of time, the status of the high priest would rise, and there were even faint signs of surpassing the royal family. However, when they discovered it, it was already too late, and the royal family could no longer do anything to the high priest.
