To the Second Floor

The next moment, a middle-aged man in armor charged toward Fu Jinyu again.

Seeing this, Xu Mu immediately said to Li Chenshuang, Senior, that person is also my friend.

Li Chenshuang looked into the distance. Before she could even rescue her, Fu Jinyu had already flown over from afar.

Xu Mu!

After arriving, Fu Jinyu immediately noticed the woman casting the Demonic Guardian in front of her.

The golden armor on her chest had a massive curve.

Swish!

The middle-aged armored man opposite them attacked swiftly.

But Li Chenshuang blocked him. These people are my friends. Stand down!

So it is the Jiuli Royal Family.

The man nodded slightly and vanished.

At this time, Li Chenshuang also deactivated her Demonic Guardian, revealing her original appearance.

Fu Jinyu immediately noticed her chest, then shifted her gaze to Xu Mu. Xu Mu, this person should be your type, right?

No, no, Old Chen likes this type.

Xu Mu waved his hands and said.

Brother Mu, I do not like lolis.

Chen Xuan said after glancing at Li Chenshuang.

Holy crap... loli?

Xu Mu almost spat out.

Those two thunderbolts of hers probably weighed as much as a loli themselves.

No matter what, I am a leader of the Jiuli Tribe, a goddess-level figure. You dare make fun of me? Do you really think I would not dare kill you?

Li Chenshuang swept a cold gaze over Xu Mu and Chen Xuan.

Xu Mu and Chen Xuan immediately stood up straight, looking into the distance with solemn expressions.

Li Chenshuang then turned her gaze to Fu Jinyu. I know you. Fu Jinyu of the Heavenly Demon Tribe.

I know you too, Li Chenshuang of the Jiuli Tribe. Our people talk about you often.

Fu Jinyu put away her unsealed state, her tone flat.

After the ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Tribe died, your father also died from his injuries. The current Heavenly Demon Tribe is just a disorganized mob.

Li Chenshuang said calmly, You are the head of the family. Why don't you join the second tribe of our Jiuli Tribe?

Keep dreaming. I am not in the habit of working for others. I can join your tribe, but you have to give me the position of tribe leader.

Fu Jinyu crossed her arms and spoke calmly.

Aren't you afraid I will kill you? The Heavenly Demon Tribe and our Jiuli Tribe are considered archenemies, after all.

Li Chenshuang revealed a faint smile.

I have grown up this much, and I have never been afraid of anything.

Black aura gradually began to emanate from Fu Jinyu's body.

You two, do not fight! If you want to fight, go to my room!

Xu Mu stood between the two. Our primary goal right now is to find the treasures. Besides us, there are others competing for them. I think we can cooperate temporarily.

Cooperate? You are quite the dreamer. I think you just want me to protect you all.

Li Chenshuang said indifferently.

Xu Mu, if you cooperate with this woman, you will definitely be scammed until you do not even have your underwear left.

Fu Jinyu said from the side.

Xu Mu thought for a moment and felt that Fu Jinyu made sense.

If the woman in front of them had an overall strength similar to theirs, they could still cooperate.

But this woman was not simple. She was even stronger than Nalan Shisan from before, at the peak of the Mortal Shedding realm's perfection.

Just one step away from entering the Realm Breaking stage.

If they really encountered treasures, they probably would not be able to compete with her.

Sister Empress, I will listen to you.

Xu Mu nodded, then looked at Li Chenshuang. Senior, since you do not plan to cooperate with us, let's part ways here.

[Favorability +10]

Fu Jinyu slightly raised her face, shot a disdainful glance at Li Chenshuang, and walked toward the depths of the palace together with Xu Mu.

You...

Li Chenshuang raised her hand but then put it back down.

She had to admit that the three people in front of her were not simple. However, their cultivation realms were too low. Facing Realm Breaking experts, they would not be able to pass smoothly.

She did not even need to think to know that they would come back to her for help.

Li Chenshuang suddenly looked outside and noticed more fluctuations of battle. It seemed Wu Cang and the others had arrived.

...

Xu Mu and the others continued walking into the depths of the palace. Just then, two Realm Breaking level armored men appeared in the distance.

You dare intrude into our Jiuli Temple, damn you!

Seeing this, Fu Jinyu immediately stood in front of Xu Mu.

No need, I happen to be able to deal with them.

Xu Mu cast Demonic Guardian, and golden armor completely covered his body.

The red patterns on it were more numerous and thicker than Li Chenshuang's.

These two are my friends.

Xu Mu said to the two armored men.

So it is the Jiuli Royal Family.

The two armored men immediately stopped and stood respectfully opposite them.

Seeing this, Fu Jinyu finally stepped back to Xu Mu's side.

Do we have any treasures here? For example, natural heavenly treasures or cultivation techniques?

Xu Mu tentatively asked them, seeing if he could get some information.

My Lord, of course we have treasures here, but they are all on the top floor, guarded by the Commander.

One of the armored men explained.

Xu Mu continued to ask, Then if we do not look for treasures right now and want to leave, where is the exit?

The exit is with Lord Shaman in the depths.

One of the armored men pointed toward the depths.

Alright, you may leave.

Xu Mu waved his hand at the two.

The two nodded successively and vanished.

Brother Mu, if you had not said this was a formation, I would still think all of this was real.

Chen Xuan said in a deep voice from the side, As expected of the Heavenly Dao level, it is too strong.

Fu Jinyu felt the same. Being able to create such realistic people through a formation, and more importantly, being able to converse with them.

The Jiuli Tribe was indeed not to be underestimated.

Their Heavenly Demon Tribe and the Jiuli Tribe were archenemies, but from beginning to end, they had never gained the upper hand.

Ever since the era of Chiyou, they had been suppressed by the Jiuli Tribe, but their Heavenly Demon Tribe had not submitted like other races.

Xu Mu and the others continued deeper, finally arriving at the very depths of this palace.

There were several golden pillars around, and in the center of the pillars were stairs covered with a red carpet, totaling nine steps.

On top of the stairs was a throne.

To the left of the throne was a silver-haired, hunchbacked old man.

His face was full of wrinkles, and he simply sat on the ground leaning against the throne beside him.

Xu Mu checked through his perception and found that he was still a dummy.

He walked over and asked, We want to leave now.

Leave?

The old man raised his withered hand, and a black halo of light appeared in front of him.

So it is that simple. It seems this formation was built by the Jiuli Tribe, and only Jiuli Tribe experts can leave.

After Xu Mu finished speaking, he said to the old man, Now we do not want to leave anymore. How do we go to the second floor? We want the treasures here.

The old man pointed to a side door at the back. That is the path leading to the second floor. I must remind you, you are of the Jiuli Royal Family. After you enter, as long as you do not cross the red line, you still have a chance to return, but the others will not have this opportunity.

Hearing this, Xu Mu looked at Chen Xuan and Fu Jinyu beside him respectively.

Brother Mu, I will listen to you.

Chen Xuan smiled at Xu Mu.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Xu Mu, I am not afraid!

Fu Jinyu looked at Xu Mu. "Since you can get out anyway, even if I end up trapped here, you'll be in charge of bringing me my meals from now on."
