“I don’t know about that. I feel like they might threaten us.”
Hua Die shook her head. “I’m only the daughter of the Fifth Elder. Even my father doesn’t have much say in the Heavenly Demon clan.”
“How strong is your Heavenly Demon clan in the Inner Realm overall? Who’s the strongest?”
Xu Mu continued asking questions.
“The strongest member of our clan is the Grand Supreme Elder. I heard he reached the ninth rank long ago. Back then, it was the Grand Supreme Elder who preserved our clan’s bloodline and gave us a chance to recover,” Hua Die explained. “However, the Grand Supreme Elder has been away from the clan for a long time. At present, the strongest is our clan leader, who is at the seventh level of the World-Breaking Realm.”
Xu Mu nodded to himself. The seventh level of the World-Breaking Realm was indeed stronger than the White Stone clan.
“The second-strongest is the Great Elder, who is currently at the sixth level of the World-Breaking Realm,” Hua Die continued. “My father is at the third level.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Mu turned to Fu Jinyu. “An expert of that level is far too much for you to handle. What do you plan to do?”
“It’s precisely because they’re so strong that I have to go. If I don’t, our people will be in danger,” Fu Jinyu replied firmly.
Nalan Shisan waved his hand. “As expected of the Empress—you’re always thinking about your people. I’m not like you. How am I supposed to fight a seventh-level expert? I’d be better off finding somewhere to hide, perhaps in Xu Mu’s house.”
“Coward!”
Fu Jinyu cast Nalan Shisan a disdainful glance. “If you won’t go, I will!”
“All right. Since Sis Empress is going, I’ll definitely go too.”
Xu Mu clapped his hands. “Let’s leave now. We’ll deal with the soldiers when they come and block the water with earth.”
[ Favorability +10 ]
Fu Jinyu looked at Xu Mu gratefully.
Nalan Shisan chuckled. “Since Xu Mu is going, I’ll go too. This might turn out to be a good thing, after all.”
“No time to waste. Let’s set out tonight.”
Xu Mu glanced at Hua Die. “You lead the way.”
“All right.”
Hua Die nodded lightly, but after taking only two steps, her vision suddenly went black and she collapsed.
Xu Mu immediately crouched in front of her. He checked her pulse first, then lowered his head and smelled near her face.
“What happened to her?” Fu Jinyu asked from the side.
“Her mind was kept tense for too long, and she was also given a heavenly treasure with anesthetic properties. Now that she’s finally relaxed, she fainted.”
Xu Mu looked up at the sky. “Let’s rest for the night. We can leave tomorrow.”
Fu Jinyu and Nalan Shisan both nodded.
Xu Mu hoisted Hua Die over his shoulder and led the group away from the ruins.
Together, they headed toward a dense forest in the distance. The branches and leaves blocked out the surroundings, making it even darker beneath the trees.
“This place will do.”
Xu Mu summoned the White Emperor Sacred Sword and stabbed it into the ground.
More than two meters below the surface, he created a hidden space.
Since there were more people this time, Xu Mu deliberately made the entrance as wide as an arm.
He entered the underground cavern first and used qi to compact the space. Then he had the others stand at the entrance.
Using Spatial Transposition, he moved everyone above into the cavern.
Afterward, Xu Mu transferred himself onto the shadow and entered the interior as well.
“This place is pretty nice. Even if an ordinary person walked over us, they wouldn’t notice a thing.”
Nalan Shisan smiled as he placed a hand on the ground. “If we inscribe a concealment formation, then even a top-tier expert who doesn’t understand formations wouldn’t discover us. They could sleep right on top of us and still remain clueless.”
Xu Mu didn’t stop him. Nalan Shisan clearly had plenty of experience surviving in the Inner Realm. Being cautious was a good thing.
Xu Mu opened his storage space and took out two bedding mats this time, laying them neatly on the ground.
“Lie down and get some rest.”
Xu Mu took out two pillows and tossed them onto the mats.
[ Favorability +10 ]
Nalan Shisan arranged the pillows and said with a smile, “I’ve come to the Inner Realm so many times, but it’s still the most comfortable traveling with you. It feels just like a vacation.”
Xu Mu placed the unconscious Hua Die at the edge of one of the mats, then lay down as well.
“When it comes to living, you should treat yourself well.”
After lying down, Xu Mu opened the system and checked his Justice Points. He found that he had accumulated quite a few again—enough for four ten-pulls.
He decided to use this time to draw his rewards.
Just as he was about to start, Nalan Shisan suddenly rolled across the mat. In the end, she moved closer to Xu Mu and happily hooked her arm around his.
“What are you doing?”
Fu Jinyu immediately shouted when she saw this. “Let go!”
“Why should I? I’m not holding your arm!”
Not only did Nalan Shisan refuse to let go, but she hugged even tighter.
Xu Mu immediately felt as if two terrifying beasts had clamped down on his arm.
“You’re not letting go, are you?”
Seeing this, Fu Jinyu walked over and lay down between Xu Mu and Nalan Shisan.
Her body pressed down on both their arms. Like a wriggling insect, she shifted back and forth until she finally forced Nalan Shisan away.
Xu Mu couldn’t help wanting to laugh. Why did the Empress sometimes act like a little kid?
“As the older sister, I won’t argue with my younger sister.”
Nalan Shisan hugged a pillow and lay down on Xu Mu’s other side.
In the end, Xu Mu was surrounded once again.
Fu Jinyu didn’t bother arguing anymore and simply closed her eyes.
Xu Mu let out a breath, then opened the system panel again and began drawing.
The wheel began to spin, and the rewards appeared.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained 30 Cultivation Points.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained 20 Attribute Points.]
…
…
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained 30 Attribute Points.]
The first ten-pull ended. Every result had been a guaranteed consolation reward, which was still pretty good in Xu Mu’s eyes.
He immediately began the second round.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained 30 Cultivation Points.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained 20 Attribute Points.]
…
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a Grade-Six Heavenly Treasure Gift Box.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained 60 Cultivation Points.]
The second ten-pull ended. There was an additional gift box, and the final draw had yielded 60 points. If converted into two separate draws, it was essentially equivalent to two guaranteed consolation rewards.
What Xu Mu wanted most at the moment were these guaranteed points, so he immediately started the third round.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained 30 Cultivation Points.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a Storage Space Upgrade Card.]
Xu Mu frowned when he saw the reward. What did a Storage Space Upgrade Card mean?
Whenever he had obtained a storage space in the past, the system had simply said he had acquired a storage space.
He decided to investigate it later and continued watching the rewards appear.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained 20 Attribute Points.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the Ninth-Grade Formation, Yin Ghost Fiend.]
Xu Mu was secretly astonished. His luck was surprisingly good this time. He had actually obtained another ninth-grade formation.
Judging from its name, it probably wasn’t an illusion formation, but an offensive one.
This was an excellent reward.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained 30 Cultivation Points.]
The third ten-pull ended, but Xu Mu wasn’t in a hurry to begin the fourth round.
Instead, he first examined the Storage Space Upgrade Card. After all, this was the first time he had ever drawn one.
The moment he clicked on the card, a stream of information automatically entered Xu Mu’s memory.
His eyes widened in shock.
“Holy crap! This is insanely powerful?”

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
