Only the Demon's Protection Ensures Peace

This was the first time Xu Mu had ever seen arm-crossing of this caliber.

Her arms and hands were almost invisible, completely blocked by her massive assets.

He shook his head slightly. Being smothered in that would probably cause suffocation.

"I trust your character."

Xu Mu kept repeating this phrase, flattering the woman in front of him.

He checked this woman's filial piety value; it was still in the negatives.

He definitely needed to keep his guard up around her. What he had just said wasn't important anyway, so there was no harm in telling her.

"Heh."

Li Chenshuang smiled and then said, "First of all, the two of us can barely be considered on the same side. Chi Ting is also my enemy."

Following that, Li Chenshuang told Xu Mu some things about the Jiuli Tribe.

Chi Ting was the younger brother of the current Jiuli Tribe's Patriarch. When the two were young, they had different ideologies and often clashed.

One chose to maintain the status quo, while the other chose to actively attack Yanhuang.

During the battle for the position of Patriarch, Chi Ting was defeated and eventually left the Jiuli Tribe.

The Jiuli Tribe consisted of nine major clans. The Patriarch was in the First Clan and had taken a back seat in recent years.

However, Chi Ting had been very active over the years. Rumor had it that he had already won over some of the lower-ranking clans.

These clans had relatively few experts and had never been taken seriously.

What's more, some clan leaders shared the same ideology as Chi Ting.

They always felt that the Jiuli Tribe was originally also the master of this land, so why should they keep hiding inside the ruins?

After hearing Li Chenshuang's words, Xu Mu roughly understood the current internal structure of the Jiuli Tribe.

"If I'm not mistaken, Wu Cang and Shanyue should both be Chi Ting's people, right?"

"No, Wu Cang is Chi Ting's man. The original leader of the Ninth Clan probably wouldn't betray us, but this newly appointed one seems to be very close to Chi Ting."

"What about the old leader? He wasn't taken out, was he?"

Xu Mu asked with a smile.

"I don't know. Our territories aren't together, and we only gather once or twice a year during festivals. How would I know?"

Li Chenshuang shook her head slightly.

"Then here comes the question, Big Sister, whose side are you on?"

Xu Mu smiled as he looked at Li Chenshuang.

"Take a guess."

As Li Chenshuang spoke, all the skin on her entire body turned fiery red.

This wasn't a state of fire; rather, it looked like viscous magma.

Even the clothes she wore were completely covered.

Right at that moment, she grabbed the cage with her hands and slipped her body through the gaps in the bars.

The distance between the cage bars was only about ten centimeters.

Logically speaking, let alone her body, even one of her massive assets wouldn't fit through.

But covered in magma, she was like an incorporeal entity and simply squeezed her way out from inside.

Once outside, the fiery red color on Li Chenshuang's body slowly dissipated, and she returned to her original appearance.

"Big Sister, where is the person who was trapped with me earlier? He's my friend."

Xu Mu asked as he followed behind Li Chenshuang.

"Come with me."

Li Chenshuang walked in front, leaving the dim space. "By the way, besides them, did anyone else come in?"

"Yes, I know that person too. He's a super genius. His cultivation level isn't high, but he can kill opponents above his level."

Xu Mu needed to give this woman a sense of crisis.

That way, she would cooperate with him wholeheartedly.

Li Chenshuang led Xu Mu all the way to a wall. She placed her hand against it, and after releasing a formation, a black hole appeared on the wall in front of them.

"Follow me."

Li Chenshuang stepped in first.

Xu Mu followed closely behind. When they passed through the wall, they arrived in another identical stone cave.

Chen Xuan was currently holding a woodchopping knife, searching for an exit. He had also escaped from his cage.

"You two are truly impressive. Such a powerful cage formation couldn't even trap you,"

Li Chenshuang said in surprise.

"Holy crap!"

Seeing someone enter, Chen Xuan turned his head and saw Li Chenshuang.

His eyes went wide. This woman's figure gave off a slightly disproportionate feeling.

He had only seen it in video game animations; he had never actually encountered it in real life.

Xu Mu wasn't surprised by Chen Xuan's reaction; he had been the exact same way earlier.

"Old Chen, this is a senior from the Jiuli Tribe. She can take us out."

Xu Mu introduced from the side.

"Finally, a beauty with a normal figure."

Chen Xuan walked over with a smile. "Brother Mu, you have to work hard."

"Work hard my ass!"

Xu Mu glared at Chen Xuan.

With a figure this smoking hot, he actually called it normal? He really wanted to see what level of hotness Chen Xuan had in mind.

"Let's go out first."

Li Chenshuang raised both her hands. Two streaks of red light flew out, one to the ceiling and one to the side.

Click!

The light caused the stones in those two spots to cave in.

The caved-in area was only the size of a fist. In such a large space, finding these two spots accurately and pressing them simultaneously would be extremely difficult.

Buzz!

Just then, a ring of light appeared high up in the cell.

Xu Mu and the others all emerged from the ring of light. Now, they found themselves back in the magnificent hall from before.

Swish!

Right at that moment, a tall man wearing armor flew over from a distance. "Who are you people? How dare you trespass into our Jiuli Temple! You deserve death!"

Seeing this, Li Chenshuang immediately cast Demonic Guardian.

At this moment, her body was also enveloped in golden armor with a few red stripes on it.

Xu Mu looked at the front of Li Chenshuang's body and was secretly amazed.

It was a good thing this armor was formed from Qi, otherwise, the front of Li Chenshuang's body would have wasted a whole lot of material.

The tall man opposite her immediately stopped when he saw Li Chenshuang's Demonic Guardian. "So it's a member of the Jiuli Royal Family."

"These two are my friends. You may step down."

Li Chenshuang said to the tall man.

"Yes."

The man then left the area once again.

"Now you know, right? On this first floor, only by casting our Heaven-tier technique, Demonic Guardian, can one be safe."

Li Chenshuang said plainly, "Only the Jiuli Royal Family is qualified to cultivate this technique."

"Does that mean as long as someone can cast this technique, they can command these experts around here?"

Xu Mu was delighted; he could cast it too.

Didn't this mean he could order these experts to go kill Ye Chen?

"Just casting it isn't enough. You must cast the complete technique, which means covering your entire body."

Li Chenshuang explained, "Many of the younger generation in our Jiuli Royal Family have learned it since childhood, but it's a Heaven-tier technique after all. How could it be so easy to master? If they came here, they would still die."

Xu Mu revealed a smile. He was completely capable of casting it fully.

"Senior, what did you mean by the first floor just now?"

Chen Xuan asked from the side.

"We are currently inside this palace that towers into the clouds. If this palace only had one floor, why would it be built so high?"

Li Chenshuang explained, "This palace also has a second and third floor."

"What's inside?"

Xu Mu asked curiously.

"I've never been there, how would I know?"

Li Chenshuang spread her hands and said.

Xu Mu and Chen Xuan exchanged a glance. Going by that, there was a high probability that the treasures here hadn't been taken away yet.

Boom!

Just then, a sudden tremor echoed from the distance.

Fu Jinyu landed firmly on the ground, having already released her seal.
