Hearing this, Fu Jinyu's cheeks immediately flushed.
This bastard, Xu Mu, dared to talk nonsense in front of Hongyu.
Wasn't she, the majestic empress, supposed to have some face?
She stood with her hands behind her back, her face calm as she said, "Xu Mu, if you don't speak, no one will take you for a mute. Don't you have healing pills? Since you're injured, take a few more."
Hongyu on the ground slowly sat up and stretched out her hand, saying, "Xu Mu, there's still one pill here. Why don't you take it?"
Seeing Hongyu getting up, Fu Jinyu immediately placed her hand on her shoulder. "You're seriously injured now. Don't move around."
"Your Majesty, this healing pill is very precious. After taking one, I feel fine."
Hongyu explained in a low voice.
Xu Mu just waved his hand gently. "You keep it. I still have some on me."
"Don't give it to him. He doesn't seem to be in a bad state."
Fu Jinyu followed up and said. She glanced at Xu Mu indifferently. "Come with me!"
Xu Mu nodded and followed Fu Jinyu towards the depths of the ruins.
When they reached the place where they were previously trapped, Fu Jinyu found that all the members of the Tianyao clan in the ruins were kneeling on the ground.
Seeing Fu Jinyu, they all shouted, "Your Majesty!"
Fu Jinyu didn't stop. She just calmly glanced at them. "I'll give you a chance. Now you can follow Fu Cheng. I won't stop you. I think what he said makes sense. He can lead you to the peak."
After saying that, Fu Jinyu quickened her pace.
Xu Mu followed behind Fu Jinyu. He could tell that this empress was very dissatisfied with these clan members.
They came to a building in the depths. It was a huge palace made of piled - up stones.
Above the palace, there was a human - shaped statue. Behind the statue were the six sword - blade wings, the symbol of the Tianyao clan.
After entering the building, Fu Jinyu let out a sigh, and her whole body relaxed.
"Feeling annoyed?"
Xu Mu asked from behind.
"Yes. I've been good enough to them. Conflicts between different races often occur. Even when the children of our Tianyao clan were bullied by other races, I would spare no effort to go to their door and seek justice for us."
Fu Jinyu's face was cold. "Unexpectedly, all I got in return was their indifference."
Xu Mu understood Fu Jinyu's thoughts very well. Fortunately, he could see the filial piety value others had towards him, so he could avoid such situations.
"What are you doing here?"
Xu Mu observed his surroundings and found that there were no daily necessities in the building. It shouldn't be a place for living.
"This is the mausoleum where the kings of the Tianyao clan throughout the generations are buried. My father is also here."
Fu Jinyu walked towards the depths. "The blood seal of our clan is here."
"What is the blood seal?"
Xu Mu asked curiously.
"It's a contract that our race signed with our subordinate races back then. It has the prestige of our ancestors. This time, during the rebellion, I planned to come here to take the blood seal, but unexpectedly, I fell into Fu Cheng's trap."
Fu Jinyu glanced at Xu Mu and explained.
Xu Mu nodded secretly. In fact, it was similar to the imperial jade seal.
When they reached the very end, there was no more path.
In front was a black wall with a carved mural on it.
Roughly speaking, there were a group of demons and ghosts below, and on the top of a high mountain, there was a throne.
A person was sitting on it, wearing a crown on the head and with ten sword - blades floating behind.
Fu Jinyu came to the mural. There was a stone platform here.
She bit her finger, and the blood dripped onto the stone platform. Suddenly, the mural behind lit up.
Then, a red light emerged from the throne.
A red cube like a Rubik's cube floated out of the mural and landed in Fu Jinyu's palm.
"How advanced! This doesn't seem to be a formation."
Xu Mu looked at the blood - red cube and said softly.
"Of course, it's not a formation. It's the ability of our Tianyao clan."
Fu Jinyu put the cube away and put it on her body.
"Can only the blood of your clan make it work?"
Xu Mu asked beside her.
"If only the blood of our clan worked, Fu Cheng would have taken it away long ago."
Fu Jinyu said. "Only the kings of all generations can take out the blood seal. By dropping blood on it, one can make it recognize the master."
"I see."
Xu Mu nodded secretly.
"I'm going to suppress the rebellion now. What are your plans?"
Fu Jinyu looked at Xu Mu and asked.
"It's already dark now. I'll follow you. In case of danger, we can take care of each other."
Xu Mu said to Fu Jinyu. "Before that, can I..."
"No!"
Fu Jinyu glared at Xu Mu. "Wait until everything is over."
"Alright."
Xu Mu smiled. He originally also planned to go and have a look.
...
The two left the ruins together.
Fu Jinyu then hugged Xu Mu's body from behind. She spread her wings and flew towards the distance.
Xu Mu shook his head slightly. Feeling the two "thunderbolts" on his back, he really thought they were incredibly large.
He even thought they were so big that it seemed fake. If they were real, he'd rather eat them.
Late at night.
Fu Jinyu finally arrived at a mountain range.
She landed from the air and let go of Xu Mu.
"This is the race that launched the rebellion, the Gudiao clan. Since my father's death, they've been dissatisfied with our Tianyao clan. This time, they even dared to directly capture our Tianyao clan members."
As Fu Jinyu spoke, she had already reached the entrance of the ruins.
"The Gudiao clan?"
Xu Mu's eyes turned cold.
He followed behind Fu Jinyu and entered the ruins together.
There were no guards inside the ruins, but there was a fire visible in the depths.
Fu Jinyu grabbed Xu Mu and flew towards the depths.
Finally, on a hillside, the two saw the scene in the distance.
More than a dozen members of the Tianyao clan were tied to iron frames, and the fire had been lit under their feet.
Seeing this, Fu Jinyu quickly flew over.
Boom!
The black power suddenly struck down, extinguishing all the flames.
Xu Mu followed behind and carefully observed the people around.
The overall appearance of their race was similar to that of the Chinese people, but they had a common characteristic.
That was, regardless of men, women, old or young, they all had hooked noses.
The people who were originally gathered around, shouting, were so scared when they saw Shi Fumeng in front of them that they all stepped back.
"It's the empress!"
"What empress? We should call her Fu Jinyu!"
...
People around were all talking. Finally, everyone's eyes fell on an old man with white hair behind.
This old man was wearing a dark - red leather armor, and most of his white hair had fallen out.
His face was so thin that the bone outline was clearly visible, and his hooked nose was very prominent.
This person was the patriarch of the Gudiao clan, Kong Xiang.
"Fu Jinyu, you've finally come. As you can see, I've lost my patience and was about to burn them to death."
Kong Xiang looked at Fu Jinyu coldly.
"Why did you rebel?"
Fu Jinyu questioned sternly.
"Don't you know the reason? Of course, it's because of you!"
Kong Xiang pointed at Fu Jinyu.
