Boom!
The Qi of Fu Jinyu and Nalan Shisan collided in an instant.
The power released by both sides transformed into two spheres that continuously clashed against each other.
However, in comparison, Nalan Shisan's golden sphere was slightly larger.
Looking at the two before him, Xu Mu felt that Fu Jinyu still had a fighting chance.
Nalan Shisan's strength was at the peak of Mortal Shedding; she hadn't reached the World Breaking realm.
At the same level, Fu Jinyu still had an opportunity to win.
However, this was only based on a head-on battle. If Nalan Shisan started using arrays, it would be a completely different outcome.
"Brother-in-law, let's run."
Ye Yu's voice drifted over.
"Setting aside whether we can even get away, Sister Empress stepped into this dangerous place to help me. I definitely can't leave her behind."
Xu Mu led Ye Yu away from the two women's combat zone and quickly asked, "This Nalan Shisan didn't do anything to you, did she?"
"No, she saw that my strength was decent and wanted me to be her woman."
Ye Yu spat, "Bah! So disgusting."
"What's wrong? Did she say something?"
Xu Mu asked suddenly.
"She didn't say, but I asked around among the women here. Most of the women here were kidnapped by her."
At this point, Ye Yu stood on her tiptoes and whispered into Xu Mu's ear, "They've all filled the path for this demon queen."
"Filled..."
Xu Mu didn't react at first, but then it dawned on him.
But thinking about it carefully, between women, it was nothing more than a few situations.
Either it was what Ye Yu said, or a regular judo club, or people of the demonic path.
Of course, these were all natural things; if tools were used, that was another story.
"Brother-in-law, compared to them, who is stronger?"
After asking, Ye Yu smiled and said, "I seem to have asked a stupid question."
"If I were stronger, I would have come alone. Why would I look for a helper?"
Xu Mu smiled and rubbed Ye Yu's head.
[Favorability +20]
"But, even though you clearly aren't their match, brother-in-law, you still came to save me."
Ye Yu looked deeply at Xu Mu. "Don't be discouraged, brother-in-law. They are of a different race and have lived longer than you. When you reach their age, you will definitely surpass them."
"I like the sound of that."
Xu Mu smiled. As long as he could steadily obtain Justice Points, surpassing them wouldn't take that much time at all.
In the distance.
Fu Jinyu's combat offensive was much stronger than Nalan Shisan's.
After a dozen or so rounds, Nalan Shisan actually fell into a disadvantage.
Just then, array characters suddenly appeared on her body. These characters formed a sphere that wrapped around her.
Hum!
Suddenly, the surrounding ground began to shake violently.
The original grassy field and blue sky began to disappear, and then the surroundings transformed into a desert.
Xu Mu knew that they had passed from one array into another.
Ye Yu crouched down and grabbed a handful of yellow sand from the ground. Her face was full of disbelief; today, she had finally witnessed true powerhouses.
Now, she also made up her mind to secretly cultivate her own forces.
Because Xu Mu wasn't the strongest in this forest filled with experts like clouds, he needed help.
Ye Yu hoped that in the future, the person who could help Xu Mu would be her.
Xu Mu looked into the distance and found that Nalan Shisan had disappeared.
Only Fu Jinyu remained, hovering alone in mid-air.
Rumble!
Suddenly, the yellow sand surged toward Fu Jinyu like giant waves.
Fu Jinyu immediately dodged, but the next moment, the yellow sand all around surged up, attacking from all directions like long dragons.
She quickly spread her arms, and five black spheres the size of soccer balls appeared in succession before her.
This was exactly from the Earth-rank cultivation technique Xu Mu had given her.
Swish, swish, swish!
The black spheres flew in all directions, crashing into the incoming dragon heads.
Boom, rumble...
Five massive black explosion zones appeared in the sky, completely shattering the long dragons formed by the sand.
But a moment later, new dragon heads emerged from the shattered gravel and continued to attack.
Fu Jinyu continuously dodged in the air, but there were too many attacks; she simply couldn't block them all.
Bang!
A giant dragon from behind crashed into Fu Jinyu. The terrifying power caused her body to jolt violently, and she plummeted from the sky like a cannonball.
However, Fu Jinyu immediately adjusted her posture in mid-air. She didn't fall over but landed steadily on the desert sand.
Boom!
With a loud boom, countless grains of sand were blasted into the air by this force, spreading outward.
No sooner had Fu Jinyu found her footing than a dozen more desert dragons lunged at her.
Xu Mu closed his eyes to sense the surroundings, searching for Nalan Shisan's whereabouts.
He was already a Level 7 Array Master and understood the composition of arrays very well.
The level of the array before them was very high, but it was a typical killing array.
That is to say, it was used to kill enemies, so relatively speaking, it wasn't as flashy and deceptive as an illusion array.
Xu Mu looked at Ye Yu and said, "Stay here and don't move."
After saying that, Xu Mu sprinted into the distance. If things continued like this, Fu Jinyu would undoubtedly lose.
Nalan Shisan only needed to expend some Qi to control the array, forcing Fu Jinyu to respond with all her strength.
It wouldn't be long before Fu Jinyu's Qi was completely depleted.
The fate awaiting her then went without saying.
"Xu Mu! I don't need you, get out of here!"
Fu Jinyu was already coughing up blood, but she continued to attack the giant dragons formed by the sand and gravel.
Xu Mu couldn't be bothered to waste words with her. He continued to dash quickly through the desert, using his perception to locate Nalan Shisan.
Her attacking these things was useless; without finding Nalan Shisan's true body, it was a complete waste of effort.
Suddenly, Xu Mu stopped at a certain spot. He had finally found her.
Nalan Shisan was hiding in a stone structure about a hundred meters underground.
Inside the structure, one could even see the carved concealment array.
A distance of a hundred meters in the air was almost negligible.
But with the cover of sand and soil, it was a very vast distance.
For example, with modern weapons, unless one used a specialized bunker-buster bomb, they couldn't reach a hundred meters underground.
Even a weapon with a 15-kiloton yield like Little Boy, detonating on the ground, definitely wouldn't blast a hundred-meter-deep crater.
Therefore, in theory, Nalan Shisan was safe hiding inside.
Even if dozens of Fu Jinyus bombarded the surroundings over a large area, they wouldn't be able to find Nalan Shisan.
Unfortunately, she had encountered Xu Mu.
Xu Mu shouted at Fu Jinyu, "Sister Empress! Come to me!"
Hearing Xu Mu's voice, Fu Jinyu thought he was in danger and immediately flew over.
But she found Xu Mu standing there perfectly fine.
"What's wrong?"
"Straight down. Nalan Shisan is hiding inside."
Xu Mu said, pointing at the ground.
Fu Jinyu was stunned for a moment, then directed her six unsealed sword blades to attack downward.
The blades continuously spun and vibrated, striking a hole into the ground and delving deeper like a drilling machine.
Setting other aspects aside, when it came to combat, she always trusted Xu Mu's judgment.
The surrounding sand whipped up into giant waves, surging toward them.
In an instant, the hole was buried, but inside, Fu Jinyu ignored the attacks and kept drilling downward.
Finally, what lay ahead of her was no longer sand, but stone.
Crack!
The stone shattered, and Fu Jinyu dropped inside. Nalan Shisan was right there.

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ...

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.
