I'll Tell You After You Die

Xu Mu was currently thinking of a plan. Within this ruin, the most troublesome ones should be Li Mopan and Xie Wangwei.

"How long have you been imprisoned here?"

Xu Mu suddenly looked at Fu Jinyu. "What is their purpose in imprisoning you?"

"About three or four days. I'm not sure what they want either."

Fu Jinyu shook her head slightly.

"How often does Li Mopan come here?"

Xu Mu continued to inquire.

"I don't know that either. But judging by the mental state of the guards, it should be at night."

During these days, Fu Jinyu had been observing the guards. Whenever Li Mopan was about to arrive, their mental state wasn't good; they would yawn from time to time, so she guessed it was at night.

Xu Mu nodded secretly to himself, feeling reassured.

Through his perception, he knew that neither Li Mopan nor Xie Wangwei were in the palace above, and the stone door was currently closed. They shouldn't be noticed by others.

Thinking of this, Xu Mu opened his storage space and took out his teleportation token.

"I have this thing on me. It can teleport me directly from here to a location ten kilometers away."

Xu Mu said, looking at Fu Jinyu.

Seeing this, Fu Jinyu's eyes were full of surprise. "You got caught on purpose?"

"Correct."

Xu Mu nodded.

[Favorability +2]

Fu Jinyu's opinion of Xu Mu improved slightly. In her view, people who weren't afraid of death were true heroes.

What she hated most were people who were not only despicable and vile but also cowardly and afraid of death.

Although this Xu Mu before her seemed somewhat shady, he dared to take risks alone, which made him somewhat of a character.

"What do you need me to do?" Fu Jinyu asked calmly.

"In a moment, after you deal with the people here, charge out and restrain Xie Wangwei and Li Mopan. I will rescue the others in the shortest time possible."

Xu Mu handed the teleportation token to Fu Jinyu. "The other token is on the mountain opposite the palace. If you're in danger, teleport there immediately."

[Favorability +3]

Fu Jinyu's expression showed some surprise. "Teleportation tokens are extremely valuable. Aren't you afraid I'll just take it and leave, abandoning all of you?"

"No, I trust you. People like you give off a strong vibe of... great kindness."

Xu Mu said, looking at Fu Jinyu.

The person before him, being an empress, should have her own dignity and wouldn't go back on her word.

Furthermore, she was counting on him to treat her injuries.

[Favorability +4]

Fu Jinyu took the teleportation token, her opinion of Xu Mu improving a bit more.

She then pressed one hand against the wooden bars of the cell. Her waist-length black hair gradually began to flutter, stirred by her Qi.

The next moment, her entire body was enveloped in black Qi.

Boom!

With a loud noise, the drowning wood instantly shattered.

The several Four-Eyed Tribe members playing cards in the distance saw this and immediately stood up.

But instantly, a black shadow flashed before them.

Thud!

Blood spurted from the necks of these men as they collapsed to the ground.

Xu Mu stepped out through the gap in the cell bars, sighing inwardly. As expected of the Heavenly Demon Tribe's empress, truly domineering.

"What's going on?"

The two guards outside the stone door seemed to hear the commotion and immediately pushed it open.

Fu Jinyu grabbed their necks with each hand. With a crisp crack, their necks were snapped on the spot.

"Xu Mu! Remember what you promised me!"

Fu Jinyu looked back at Xu Mu, then ran up the stairs towards the palace above.

Xu Mu, meanwhile, went over to the bodies, bent down, and picked up the keys.

He quickly went to the other cells and unlocked the door where the cleaners were held.

About ten people here were all slumped on the ground, extremely weak.

However, they had naturally noticed the situation.

"Are you a cleaner too?"

One middle-aged man asked in a low voice.

"No, but my fiancée is. Her name is Jiang Huihui."

Xu Mu gave a name. If they wanted to thank someone, they could thank her.

"Jiang Huihui's fiancé? I think I've heard of that."

"We don't even have the strength to stand up. How are we supposed to get out?"

...

"Don't worry, I know a little about medicine. I've prepared an antidote in advance."

Xu Mu opened his storage space, took out some rare spiritual herbs, and placed a bit in each person's mouth.

The people here all mustered their strength to chew. Within a few short minutes, they gradually regained some strength.

These ten or so people stood up one after another.

"Everyone, run quickly. I've made a deal with the woman from just now. She'll temporarily hold off the experts here."

Xu Mu said to the group.

"Thank you. I will repay you."

"Me too."

...

Several of the intermediate-level cleaners ran towards the distance.

Xu Mu then went to the remaining two cells. "Sorry, everyone. I didn't bring that many rare herbs. When the cleaners enter the ruin, they will rescue you."

After saying this, Xu Mu also left the area.

Successfully reaching the outside of the palace, he noticed the cleaners had run quite fast.

However, judging by the Four-Eyed Tribe corpses along the way, it probably wasn't Fu Jinyu's doing.

...

Elsewhere.

Xie Wangwei and Li Mopan were returning to the palace together.

"I didn't expect those two to have a teleportation formation. Things might not be that simple."

Xie Wangwei said with a calm expression.

"Heh! You guessed it. Those two were just a diversion. There was someone else who sneaked into my palace."

Li Mopan's four eyes all narrowed into smiles.

"Who? It wouldn't be Du Yan, would it?"

Xie Wangwei asked.

"No. I don't know who he is either. Anyway, I caught him and threw him in the dungeon."

Li Mopan said nonchalantly.

"Take me to see."

Xie Wangwei said.

Li Mopan nodded lightly. Just as the two of them arrived at the foot of the hill below the palace, they found corpses strewn everywhere. A long-haired woman was sitting on a nearby rock, the breeze lifting her hair.

Her hands rested on her thighs, her head slightly lowered, but her eyes were fixed on the two men before her.

Like a tiger about to pounce, her aura was intimidating.

Seeing this, Li Mopan's eyes widened. "How did you get out?"

"I'll tell you after you're dead!"

Fu Jinyu stood up from the rock. The ground beneath her feet first cracked like a spider's web, then suddenly shattered and exploded.

Boom!

Enveloped in blackness, Fu Jinyu, like a demon, instantly appeared before Li Mopan.

Seeing this, Li Mopan also erupted with power to meet the attack.

Bang!

Their Qi collided violently, producing a sound like rolling thunder.

At the same time.

Xu Mu felt the tremors in the distance. Their battle must have begun.

He was considering whether to leave. After all, Fu Jinyu had the teleportation token; she probably wouldn't be in danger.

...

Elsewhere, Chen Xuan and Jiang Huihui had been out for a while.

Chen Xuan kept looking at the time on his phone, growing more and more anxious.

"No good! Why hasn't Brother Mu come out yet? I'm going in to check."

Chen Xuan picked up the woven bag again, preparing to head back into the ruin.

"Wait! Give Xu Mu a little more time. He's definitely fine."

Jiang Huihui blocked Chen Xuan's path.
