The Holy Gate

The reason Xu Mu didn't make a move earlier was that he wanted to see their true colors.

Just like Xianling Nan, whom he had let go earlier.

Just because she was captured and targeted didn't necessarily mean she was a good person.

However, judging from the current situation, there was no need to distinguish who was good and who was bad.

Fu Jinyu pushed up her sunglasses and took a few steps forward. "You want to kill us?"

"What? You got a problem with that?"

Zeng Po asked faintly.

The black aura transformed into a beam of light.

In just an instant, Fu Jinyu grabbed Zeng Po by the neck and lifted him up on the spot.

Boom!

Then, after she made this move, the black energy scattered, and the surrounding ground suddenly collapsed.

Zheng Rui and Zhou Lulu, who were standing nearby, couldn't resist this power at all. Their bodies shook violently as they were sent flying to the left and right.

Before they even hit the ground, blood spurted from their mouths.

Zeng Po's eyes were filled with shock, but he reacted immediately. Formation patterns suddenly flickered around his body.

Crack!

Fu Jinyu showed no mercy, simply snapping his neck and casually tossing him to the ground.

"A mere mid-stage Mortal Shedding realm cultivator, you really thought you were someone important."

As soon as Fu Jinyu finished speaking, the surrounding array slowly dissipated, and everyone reappeared near the abandoned, unfinished building.

Qiguan You was completely dumbfounded upon seeing this scene.

The Fifth Elder's cultivation was at the mid-stage of the Mortal Shedding realm, and he was a level-six array master.

Such a powerful expert was actually instantly killed by this woman.

Earlier, she had even thought about protecting them. Now, it seemed like a complete joke.

At this moment, Fu Jinyu walked toward Zeng Rui.

Zeng Rui lay on the ground, heavily injured, without even the strength to crawl up.

He watched Fu Jinyu approaching him. She had a tall figure and powerful steps, her long black hair trembling slightly as she walked.

This extremely strong sense of oppression made Zeng Rui unable to breathe.

Just who on earth was this woman in front of him?

"Don't kill me... spare my life!"

Zeng Rui was so scared that his voice trembled. Judging from how she had killed his grandfather without hesitation, it proved she was a ruthless person.

"Big sister, don't..."

Swish!

A black sword blade, like a shot arrow, instantly pierced through Zeng Rui's heart and stabbed into the ground behind him.

Seeing this, Zhou Lulu was already scared out of her wits.

Her face was full of fear as she endured the severe pain in her body, crawled up from the ground, and knelt down.

"Don't kill me! Sister Youyou, I was wrong. These things have nothing to do with me. I just happened to be nearby and accompanied them here."

Zhou Lulu was so terrified that tears kept streaming down her face. "I don't want to die yet! I don't want to die!"

"Big sister, stop killing. Zhou Lulu is innocent. She used to have a good relationship with me, I beg you."

Qiguan You stood up from the ground and blocked Fu Jinyu's path.

"Mercy, in most cases, is cruelty to oneself."

Xu Mu took off Zeng Po's spatial ring and then used the Spirit Devouring Holy Gu to dispose of the corpse. "Just as they thought before, we must pull up the weeds by the roots. If she dies, no one will know who killed them."

Hearing this, Zhou Lulu's face turned ashen. Who would have thought that Qiguan You knew such a big shot.

"Big brother, I don't regret it. I believe she won't leak the news."

Qiguan You said with a smile, "Besides, even if she dares to tell on us, I am in the right. They were the ones who attacked me first."

"Sister Empress, let it go."

Xu Mu then came over to Zeng Rui's side and continued to devour his corpse.

"Thank you! Thank you! I'll get lost right now, I'll get lost right now."

Zhou Lulu felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted. She desperately fled into the distance and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Qiguan You breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her leave and sat back down on the ground. "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I would definitely have died here today. I didn't expect the Fifth Elder to come. If I had known he was here, I definitely wouldn't have come."

"What kind of sect is this Holy Gate you mentioned? I've never heard of it before."

Xu Mu looked at Qiguan You and asked.

"And Fu Cheng, what is the relationship between your Holy Gate and him?"

Fu Jinyu followed up with a question before Qiguan You could answer.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. Our Holy Gate is not a proper sect. We are a group of people huddling together for warmth, similar to the Myriad Races Valley, but there is a fundamental difference."

Qiguan You roughly explained the development of the Holy Gate.

If the Myriad Races Valley was a faction of foreign races huddling together, then the Holy Gate was a faction of mixed-bloods.

The Holy Gate had existed for hundreds of years. The ancestor who originally founded the Holy Gate was a mixed-blood.

The mixed-blood here was not at the national level, but at the racial level.

Mixed-bloods between foreign races were usually outcasts, unaccepted by any race.

Their group had always been marginalized, like rats crossing the street.

With the help of their ancestor, the Holy Gate was established.

Their ancestor was an array master, so the people of the Holy Gate had a deep understanding of formations.

It could be said that they were a formation sect.

To the outside world, they almost never claimed to be from the Holy Gate, at most calling themselves rogue array masters.

Therefore, very few people in the outside world knew their sect's name.

However, quite a few people knew the names of some of the array experts in their sect.

As for Fu Cheng, he also didn't know about the Holy Gate, but he knew the Great Elder of the Holy Gate.

This time, Fu Cheng contacted the Great Elder of the Holy Gate, saying that there was a ruin in Qiu City and wanted the Great Elder to help find it.

After the matter was completed, there would be a generous reward.

The Great Elder immediately contacted people near Qiu City, asking them to find the ruins in advance and snatch the treasures inside.

Anyway, Fu Cheng only wanted to find the ruins and didn't say he had to get the treasures inside.

Not to mention that no one knew who had entered ruins like this before. Even if they couldn't find anything, Fu Cheng wouldn't suspect the Holy Gate.

"I see. In other words, you just happened to be nearby, so you rushed over overnight?"

Xu Mu suddenly realized after hearing this.

"That's right. The Great Elder said he would consider it for a day. After today is over, he should personally accompany Fu Cheng over tomorrow, so the faster we are, the better."

Qiguan You nodded.

"Do you have a grudge against Fu Cheng? Aren't you screwing him over by doing this?"

Fu Jinyu asked curiously.

"No, our Holy Gate was never a proper sect to begin with. We screw over everyone."

Qiguan You scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly. "It's just that there are some things we look down upon and won't take."

"I remember they mentioned the Second Elder just now."

Xu Mu looked at Qiguan You. "But you said Fu Cheng and the Great Elder know each other."

"I am the Second Elder's person. Before my father died, he told me to get close to the Second Elder. Logically speaking, I shouldn't be qualified to know about this place."

Qiguan You shook her head slightly. "However, I was the closest to here, so the Second Elder asked me to rush over overnight to see if I could take the items away in advance."

Xu Mu nodded and asked with a smile, "So, you've found the location?"

"It's right around here."

Qiguan You explained.

"Why do you think we are here?"

Xu Mu looked at Qiguan You and asked.

"Could it be... you guys are too?"

"That's right!"

Fu Jinyu took off her sunglasses. "If Fu Cheng knows about this place, naturally I know about it too."

"Sky Demon Race?"

Qiguan You looked into Fu Jinyu's eyes, backing away repeatedly in terror. "Lady, don't kill me! I'm just an errand boy. I'm not the one who tricked the Sky Demon Clan!"
