Jiang Mu made a vow.
He didn't have high expectations for the pink fox's off-road speed at first.
But it wasn't until Qiu Yuexin rushed out that he realized how terribly wrong he had been.
This isn't riding a fox, it's clearly a rocket flying close to the ground!
"Holy crap, slow down!"
The sound of the wind in my ears was no longer howling, but had turned into a sharp sonic boom.
The towering trees and poisonous swamps around us were all blurred into lines and blocks of color in our field of vision.
Jiang Mu felt her facial muscles twitching wildly under the onslaught of the gale, almost to the point of facial paralysis, and tears streamed down her face.
The wind pressure made it hard to breathe.
To avoid being thrown off, he could only lie sprawled on Qiu Yuexin's broad, soft back, grabbing the pink fur around her neck with both hands and clinging to her like a turtle.
Qiu Yuexin seemed to know the terrain of the Fallen Soul Swamp like the back of her hand.
She doesn't follow the usual path at all.
To evade the pursuit of the Black Armored Soldiers, they led Jiang Mu directly into the most complex terrain of the Misty Forest.
Even when passing several mountain peaks, they plunged into the crisscrossing underground caves.
The pink afterimages glided across the cave walls as if walking on flat ground.
Inside the cave, several bat demons and pangolins, who were hanging upside down and fast asleep, suddenly felt a gust of wind sweep by.
Before they could even see the other person's shadow, they were swept up by the wind pressure and spun around in the air more than a dozen times before crashing into the wall in a daze.
who am I?
where am I?
What just passed by?
I don't know how long they ran wildly through the swamp, twisting and turning.
Only when the terrifying pressure of the tenth-tier power behind her completely disappeared from her perception did Qiu Yuexin stop in a forest of fiery red maple leaves.
"vomit"
As soon as Qiu Yue's heart calmed down, Jiang Mu couldn't wait to tumble and scramble off her back.
He leaned against a maple tree and gagged at its roots.
Hemp egg!
I never got dizzy riding roller coasters or airplanes in my past life.
I never thought I'd be so infatuated with a girl in my life, it's so damn wild!
A flash of pink light appeared, and Qiu Yuexin reverted to her charming young girl appearance in a pink dress.
She patted her skirt and looked at Jiang Mu with disdain: "Look at you, so pathetic. It's just a little faster, and you can't handle it? A sixth-realm expert, and this is it?"
Jiang Mu gagged for a long time, but only vomited some sour water.
Here, have some water.
At this moment, a fair and delicate hand handed over an exquisite jade water jug.
Jiang Mu's eyes were filled with stars. Without even looking, she took it, pulled out the stopper, and gulped it down.
As the cool, sweet liquid entered his throat, a gentle, soothing energy coursed through his body, and Jiang Mu immediately felt much more comfortable in his churning stomach.
"Phew—I'm alive again!"
"I'd rather die than ride you again next time, you're really killing me."
Jiang Mu wiped her mouth, picked up the kettle, looked at it, and exclaimed, "What is this? It's sweet and quite delicious. Is there any more?"
Qiu Yuexin stood with her hands behind her back, tilted her head slightly, and looked at him with a smile: "It's pee."
'
'
Jiang Mu's hand froze for a moment, then she chuckled, "That's quite good, it has an ethereal quality. I don't mind, how about two more bottles?"
Seeing the mocking look in the girl's alluring eyes, Jiang Mu's smile gradually faded. She sniffed the bottle opening suspiciously: "—Could it really be true?"
"you guess?"
'
'
Jiang Mu said expressionlessly, "I don't believe you unless you piss yourself right here."
"roll!"
Qiu Yuexin rolled her eyes dramatically and kicked Jiang Mu's shin with her little leather boot: "That's the spiritual spring water from Qingqiu!"
"Oh, oh, you scared me."
Jiang Mu patted his chest, but his face was full of disappointment.
He straightened up and looked around.
Everywhere you look, there are maple trees as vibrant as fire, with fallen leaves carpeting the ground—a truly beautiful sight.
"Where is this place?"
Qiu Yuexin smoothed her wind-blown hair and casually said, "We're still in the Fallen Soul Swamp, but we've reached the westernmost edge."
"broken!"
Jiang Mu slapped his thigh, his expression changing.
He and Sister Ling had agreed to split up and run away separately, then meet up at their usual spot outside the Valley of No Return.
He looked at Qiu Yuexin with a somewhat anxious expression: "Yue'er, you're fast, can you take me back to find Ling Ye? I'm afraid that if she sees that I haven't come out for a long time, she might impulsively run into the Valley of No Return to risk looking for me again."
Qiu Yuexin leisurely peeled open a wild fruit she had picked from who-knows-where and said indifferently, "I advise you to stay here obediently for now. That tenth-level demon is obviously targeting you. I just borrowed a secret technique from Qingqiu and went through seven or eight mazes before I barely managed to shake him off."
If you go back now, not only will we both be shot and killed without a trace, but you will also implicate that Inspector Ling again.
Jiang Mu frowned, pondered for a moment, and sighed softly, "That's true—"
Don't worry.
Seeing his worry, Qiu Yuexin comforted him, "With Ling Ye's cultivation at the eighth level, as long as she's not out of her mind and doesn't confront that tenth-tier demon head-on, the poisonous creatures on the outer edge of the Fallen Soul Swamp can't harm her at all. If she can't find you, she'll naturally retreat."
Qiu Yuexin took a bite of the fruit, then suddenly leaned closer curiously, her foxy eyes sparkling. "But I'm really curious, what treasure did you steal from the Black Armor Divine Weapon that could make that inanimate object chase after you?"
"It's nothing much, I just grabbed a treasure when the secret realm trial was almost over. Who knew that guy in black armor would have such a bad temper and keep bothering me."
Jiang Mu gave a vague answer.
He glanced at his storage ring subconsciously, but ultimately didn't dare to take out the white feather to show off.
They were afraid that this thing would attract that killing god again.
Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Qiu Yuexin wisely refrained from pressing him for details.
She walked to a maple tree and leaned against it, her tone turning indifferent: "I couldn't find the Mist Demon. That old thing is incredibly cunning; it didn't leave me a single clue."
I originally planned to go to Yancheng to help you, but I got delayed by some family matters. However—I later heard you made a big splash in Yancheng, quite impressive indeed.
Upon hearing the other person mention Yancheng, Jiang Mu suddenly remembered something.
He took out a jade hairpin from his pocket and handed it to Qiu Yuexin: "By the way, you gave me this when you left Yancheng. You said that your Qingqiu clan had a traitor who was skilled in assassination who defected to the Red Umbrella Sect, and that I should use this hairpin for self-defense."
However, even after the battle of Yancheng was over, your traitor never showed up.
Qiu Yuexin snorted lightly, "It's lucky. Maybe you acted too powerfully in Yancheng, so it hid in the shadows and didn't dare to make a move easily."
You should keep this for self-defense. That traitor will be a menace sooner or later if he's not eliminated; you'll need it someday.
"oh."
Jiang Mu responded and put away the hairpin.
Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a faint white beam of light reaching straight into the sky in the distance, flickering slightly.
"What is that?"
Jiang Mu pointed at the pillar of light and asked curiously.
Qiu Yuexin glanced in the direction he was pointing and explained calmly, "That's the entrance to the secret realm set up by your Great Qing Dynasty, guarded by experts and formations. Judging from the situation, the secret realm should have been completely closed, and they are currently recovering the remaining spiritual energy."
"Official entrance?"
Jiang Mu suddenly realized.
That was the secret gate through which Xiang Xiuxiu and Yun Xiaocheng entered and exited.
Jiang Mu's eyes darted around, and she said to Qiu Yuexin, "Yue'er, could you take me over there to take a look?"
"What did you do in the past?" Qiu Yuexin asked, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"Just taking a look."
Jiang Mu cracked his knuckles, "There was this guy who didn't get along with me and almost tried to ambush me. I beat him half to death in the secret realm, but he managed to escape by using his trump card."
I thought I'd go check if that kid was still there.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yuexin's pretty face suddenly darkened, and her eyes instantly filled with murderous intent.
How dare you touch my family?
You're asking for it!
"Let's go! With me here, even if it were the imperial garrison commander there today, I'd twist his head off for you, so you can take your revenge!"
Qiu Yue said coldly.
Seeing the demon girl suddenly switch to "protective maniac" mode, Jiang Mu felt a surge of emotion and grinned, "That's loyal enough, then hurry up and change!"
"Transform into what?"
Qiu Yuexin was completely confused.
"Turn into a fox."
Jiang Mu said, "If you don't change, how am I supposed to ride you?"
'
""
Qiu Yuexin was stunned for a full three seconds, and her pretty face immediately turned bright red.
"Shut up and get on with your horse!"
The girl ground her little fangs and roared, "Can't you just walk over there? Get over there!"
After saying that, the girl turned and left.
"If you don't want to ride, then don't ride. Why are you so angry?"
Jiang Mu watched the pink-clad figure walking ahead angrily and clicked her tongue in secret regret.
What a waste of such a cool mount.
About half an hour later, the mountain wind swept through the canyon, and Jiang Mu and Qiu Yuexin arrived at the entrance to the secret realm of the Fallen Soul Swamp.
Besides the battle platform that has been quelled, there is also a simple post station courtyard built on the outskirts.
However, this place, which should have been heavily guarded, was unusually deserted at the moment.
Because most of the elite guards, as well as the black-clad old demon responsible for guarding the core of the secret realm array, had already followed Zhou Yuanzhi to the Valley of No Return to ambush Jiang Mu.
At this moment, only a few guards were patrolling in front of the courtyard gate.
When Jiang Mu swaggered in front of them, followed by a girl in a flowing pink dress whose every step seemed to float on lotus petals, the guards were taken aback at first, then drew their long swords and became wary.
"Halt! This is the restricted area of the Demon Slayer Division. Unauthorized personnel are prohibited from entering!"
The lead guard shouted sternly.
Jiang Mu said calmly, "Go and inform your Lord Zhou Yuanzhi that Jiang Mu, the Eighth Hall Master of the Demon Slaying Division of Huzhou City, has come to see her."
As Jiang Mu said those words, a strange feeling welled up in her heart.
Would I be considered to be a tiger borrowing the fox's power?
After all, although he is now at the Great Perfection of the Sixth Realm, he still has to think twice before going up against a high-ranking person like Zhou Yuanzhi all by himself.
But who can blame him when a nine-tailed celestial fox is standing behind him?
Soft rice tastes delicious.
"Jiang—Jiang Mu?!"
The guards looked at each other in bewilderment.
They had naturally heard of Jiang Mu's great reputation.
They also knew that this guy had secretly sneaked into the secret realm these past few days and stolen all the opportunities from Young Master Yun and Princess.
Lord Zhou is so angry that he's still stuck in the Valley of No Return.
But how did this guy get here?
Cold sweat beaded on their foreheads; they were caught between a rock and a hard place.
beat?
What a joke! Even the princess was struck down by this wicked star.
They went up there to deliver the food.
Seeing the guards dawdling around, Qiu Yue became a little impatient.
The girl waved lightly with her bare hands.
An invisible shockwave seemed to explode in the air.
The guards didn't even have time to utter a sound before they were sent flying backwards and crashed heavily onto the stone wall more than ten feet away.
He clutched his chest, rolled on the ground, and wailed in pain.
Qiu Yue straightened her wind-blown hair and walked straight into the courtyard.
Jiang Mu quickly followed.
The two of them walked around the yard, but it was empty; they didn't see a single ghost.
Qiu Yuexin frowned, puzzled, "I remember there was a heavy array at the entrance to this secret realm, so there should be many experts guarding it, and even a demonic cultivator surnamed Yuan stationed there. How come there's not a single person here?"
Jiang Mu turned and walked back to the door, picked up the leading guard, and asked, "Where is he?"
The guard gasped in pain and dared not hide anything, stammering, "Lord Zhou and Elder Yuan are both not here."
They thought you had escaped from the Valley of No Return, and they took—the whole family—to capture you there!
"Looking for me?"
Jiang Mu was stunned for a long time, then laughed in exasperation and shook her head helplessly.
That old woman is pretty quick.
"There are people over there."
Qiu Yuexin suddenly pointed to the room at the far end of the courtyard.
Jiang Mu threw the guard to the ground and said, "I'll spare your life. Go and inform Lord Zhou that Jiang Mu has arrived."
The guard leader felt as if he had been granted a pardon and ran away as fast as he could.
Jiang Mu arrived at the small house on the inside.
As soon as I opened the door, a piercing whistling sound rushed towards me.
It was a broken flying sword.
With the power of a desperate gamble, it aimed straight for Jiang Mu's brow.
Jiang Mu didn't even blink. His right hand shot out like lightning, and his index and middle fingers precisely clamped the sword.
"Clang!"
With a crisp sound, the sharp flying sword let out a mournful cry.
Jiang Mu casually flicked her wrist.
"Click" 6
The flying sword, which had already broken and been barely repaired in the secret realm, turned into fine iron powder with this shake.
It fluttered down from between Jiang Mu's fingers.
"Flying swords won't work."
Jiang Mu dusted off the iron filings on her hands and stepped into the room.
The room was dimly lit.
On the wooden bed in the corner, Yun Xiaocheng lay with disheveled hair and a deathly pale face.
His chest was still wrapped in a blood-soaked bandage, and he was glaring at Jiang Mu as she walked in with a venomous look that seemed to want to devour her.
"Hey, isn't this Brother Yun?"
Jiang Mu smiled brightly, "I thought you had already returned to the sect to recuperate, but I didn't expect you to still be lingering here. What, you didn't stay here specifically to wait for me, did you?"
Jiang Mu was right.
Yun Xiaocheng couldn't swallow this insult.
The reason for staying here is to wait for Zhou Yuanzhi to bring Jiang Mu back.
I want to reclaim my own [Nine Apertures Divine Root] myself.
But he never dreamed that what awaited him was not a prisoner in shackles, but a living Yama who could crush flying swords with his bare hands!
"Jiang Mu!"
Yun Xiaocheng suppressed his fear and said in a cold voice, his voice strong but his heart weak, "Lord Zhou has already said that the Chief Commander has not reinstated your trial qualification at all. You are now a thief wanted by the court!"
I advise you to be sensible and hand over my spirit object right now, otherwise—”
"The spirit is gone; I've already devoured it."
Jiang Mu said.
"You're talking nonsense, you have no right to say that!" Yun Xiaocheng refused to believe it.
Jiang Mu didn't bother to explain and asked casually, "By the way, where's Xiang Xiuxiu? Is she waiting for me too?"
Yun Xiaocheng gritted his teeth and didn't answer, only staring coldly at Jiang Mu.
"Brother Yun—"
Jiang Mu's smile gradually faded, and she sighed, "To be honest, when I first met you, I did admire you quite a bit."
I thought we could become friends—"
As Jiang Mu spoke, she walked toward the bed.
As he approached, a murderous aura, carrying the scent of blood, enveloped the room.
"But unfortunately, you are too narrow-minded and short-sighted."
Jiang Mu stopped in front of Yun Xiaocheng, looking down at the other man who was shrinking back in fear. "I think you've ruined this account."
You need to go to the Bridge of Helplessness, queue up, be reincarnated, start a new account, and properly reform yourself.
"You—you dare kill me?!"
Yun Xiaocheng swallowed hard, shouting hoarsely, "Jiang Mu, it's not too late for you to turn back now. The more you kill indiscriminately, the less the court will tolerate you, and you'll die faster than anyone else!"
Jiang Mu stared straight into his eyes: "I think you won't live to see the day I die."
Because you will die at this moment.
"ah!!"
Yun Xiaocheng let out a roar like a wild beast on its deathbed, suddenly opened his mouth, and his tongue shot out!
"call out!"
A tiny sword, as thin as a cow's hair, shot out from his mouth.
This was his last trump card, activated by burning his life essence.
However, the small sword could not advance even an inch further when it was less than half an inch from Jiang Mu's face.
Yun Xiao's eyes widened in shock.
Ignoring the backlash, he frantically made hand seals, attempting to detonate the small sword.
But before he could even finish forming the hand seals, Jiang Mu kicked the other person in the chest.
"Bang!"
The brick wall behind Yun Xiaocheng collapsed as if it were made of paper.
The person who was kicked away was like a cannonball fired from a gun; he went straight out of the house and spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.
Finally, it slammed down like a lump of mud beside the high stone steps in the courtyard.
"Cough—cough cough—"
Yun Xiaocheng lay paralyzed in the pile of rubble, his sternum shattered, each breath accompanied by a gush of blood and foam.
Jiang Mu teleported in front of him, his smile still bright: "Brother Yun, I'll ask one last time, where is our Princess?"
Looking at the person in front of him who was like a demon god, Yun Xiaocheng's psychological defenses completely collapsed.
He finally understood that the person in front of him didn't care about the Ten Thousand Swords Sect or the imperial court at all.
Any threats or intimidation are nothing but scraps of paper in front of this madman!
His will to survive completely crushed his dignity.
"Brother Jiang, I was wrong—I was bewitched, I shouldn't have attacked you."
I don't want that opportunity anymore, I'm giving it to you, please—"
His voice trembled violently, filled with pleading.
"Where is the princess?"
Jiang Mu ignored him and simply repeated it calmly.
"She's gone!"
Yun Xiaocheng quickly said, "It seems like she received an urgent message from home. She left before her injuries had even fully healed. I'm not lying to you!"
"Tsk, they run pretty fast."
Jiang Mu pouted in disappointment.
I also want to catch up with that princess.
He patted Yun Xiaocheng on the shoulder, even kindly straightening his crooked collar, and said earnestly, "Brother Yun, you misspoke just now."
"That opportunity wasn't something you didn't want, nor was it something you gave to me."
"6
"But—it was always mine. Do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Xiaocheng felt a sweet taste in his throat and almost fainted from anger.
But now, how could he dare to talk back?
He could only force a smile that looked worse than crying onto his blood-stained face: "Yes, yes—that was Brother Jiang's good fortune. I was blinded by greed and tried to steal it. I was wrong, I really know I was wrong—"
"No, you don't really know you're wrong."
Jiang Mu's eyes turned cold. "You only know that you're going to die."
The moment the words fell.
Jiang Mu clenched his right fist, and a layer of dark red Blood River True Qi enveloped the fist.
"Bang!"
A punch landed!
Yun Xiaocheng's voice abruptly stopped.
His head exploded into a cloud of crimson blood mist, just like a watermelon being struck by a giant iron hammer.
Red and white things were scattered all over the ground.
A generation of outstanding figures has thus begun anew.
Jiang Mu took out a handkerchief, wiped the blood off her hands, and casually tossed it onto the headless corpse, muttering softly, "I hope you'll have a little more manners next time you're on the phone."
