Heaven-defying Phoenix

Jiu Muli's eyes flashed coldly.    

There was no point in guessing. Only by capturing the culprits could they find out who the mastermind was.    

Seeing that, An Shu was afraid that Jiu Muli would act impulsively, and warned: "It's good that you know about this, don't be reckless."    

"Don't worry, why would I do anything rash?"    

Jiu Muli chuckled.    

The two of them conversed for a while. Considering that the Myriad Beasts Palace and the Tai-Chang Valley cultivators were very tired and needed to be comfortably arranged, she did not linger, but before she left, she instructed An Xi to come and find her if there were any medicinal ingredients needed to concoct pills.    

After carefully calculating, she had already stayed in Guancheng for more than ten days, and it would soon be her turn. Thinking to here, she couldn't help but feel a burst of anticipation.    

Although she was not sure if there was really a traitor behind the misfortunes of An Xi and the rest, but she was sure that the three great clans of the Guancheng had secretly reached an agreement with the sect that had descended upon them.    

There were times when accidents occurred on the battlefield, but if they were a little later in supporting or slower in moving, who knew how many people would die, so it was very easy to drug Myriad Beasts Palace, especially with the weapons, most of them were raised by the three great clans.    

Very soon, after Yang Ruoyi and his disciples stepped onto the battlefield, the disciples of the two sect s also stepped onto the battlefield.    

Soon after, another day passed, and Yu Xi and a few good sect disciples also entered the battlefield.    

During this time, An Xi once again came to find him. She took out a few immortal medicine and asked Jiu Muli to refine pills.    

After another two days, it was finally time for Jiu Muli to set off again.    

This time, she only exchanged simple words with Jiu Xuanling, then left without any hesitation, accompanied by Zhan Wushuang who could not be refused no matter what.    

However, what surprised her was that although Fu Sang, Bao Chenglong and Wang Wenhan were also among them, the other three teams that had been with her before had now been replaced.    

"Wang Qi isn't here."    

Wang Qi was one of Yang Ruoyi's accomplices, and the rumor about her being afraid of death was spread by that woman. It was a pity that she was too impatient and ended up stealing from him.    

This time, the one escorting them out of the city was no longer Ling Jie, but Elder Yun Wuyou instead. This made Jiu Muli feel extremely surprised.    

After receiving the map, they boarded the flying boat. Everyone felt the impending massacre, and did not say a word, even Fu Sang and the others who had interacted with Jiu Muli before did not specially talk to him.    

This time, the area they were defending was no longer the dilapidated city they were defending, but the most eastern place, Beast Mountain, which used to be a continuous mountain range, but unfortunately, after ten thousand years of fighting each other, they were both Great Emperor. The battle had already destroyed this place to the point where even the grass and trees were sparse, making it look no different from the wasteland.    

After the flying boat landed, Yun Wuyou sent a sound transmission to Jiu Muli, telling her to be extra careful, and then left with the group of people that were already waiting to return.    

"Unfortunately, it's still too far away from the realm where the Exotic Flame are."    

Jiu Muli looked at the map, his face still filled with regret.    

This time, the number of people that came to visit was less than the last time, for a total of forty people. Aside from the disciples of the native sect s such as the Azure Underworld Palace, there was also a group of two Heaven's Pride that had descended upon the sect.    

Just like last time, the soldiers would arrive very quickly to pick them up. The cultivators of the Azure Underworld Palace would hunt them down on their own, and this was the same for the sect. It was just unexpected, however, that Fu Sang and the other two would leave with the people who had arrived at the sect.    

But each of them had their own choice to make, and Jiu Muli did not say much, so she also chose to follow the soldier.    

After all, she followed the others as they left, leaving Zhan Wushuang and her behind. The two of them could not manage a single defensive area, and they wouldn't be able to even run around if she wanted to.    

This time, there was only one squad of soldiers in charge of supporting Jiu Muli. The leader was an ice beauty called Shu Han.    

However, to Jiu Muli's surprise, when he saw that she had chosen to follow him, he said in satisfaction: "You must be Jiu Muli, the one who killed Young Master Nan Xian?"    

"Yes, I am. Does the captain know me?" Jiu Muli was a little flattered.    

"I've never seen you before, but I've heard of it. Kong Ling has mentioned you more than once." Shu Han laughed lightly, and as if the snow had melted, her smile was as captivating as the rising sun.    

"Captain Kong, are you alright?"    

Jiu Muli laughed lightly. She and Kong Ling had been together for ten days, their social interaction was really low. Even the number of times she talked could be counted on one hand.    

"Not bad."    

Shuhan nodded. As she spoke, they had already reached the peak of a small hill. Pointing to a few of her subordinates, she said, "These are my team members. You're not a new person. I won't say anything else. Just find a place to rest.    

"Thank you very much."    

Jiu Muli nodded and then went to find a place himself. He laid down the barrier and waited patiently.    

It was Zhan Wushuang's first time here, and he felt a new excitement from seeing everything. Bored, he could not help but ask Jiu Muli, "When will this evil monster return?"    

"I don't know. It could appear at any time, but it's best if he doesn't come."    

Jiu Muli was a little speechless.    

This guy was probably the only one who was anticipating an attack from the demons.    

"So we just wait?" Zhan Wushuang was surprised.    

"Right. Protect these territories and also provide support to your comrades in other directions."    

"It's very simple."    

"I hope you keep thinking that."    

Jiu Muli raised his eyebrows, and said snappily: "Don't ask anymore, just cultivate properly." As he spoke, he ignored the fellow and continued cultivating.    

In truth, compared to the inside of Guancheng, she found that this place was more beneficial to her cultivation. After all, this place was overshadowed by demons, and the Power of Law was a little disordered, which was beneficial to her in accepting the Ancient Code.    

Unfortunately, this place was a place where demons could barge in at any time, making it impossible to meditate. Thus, she could only calm her heart, and temper her body first.    

To strengthen the body, then to absorb the laws, then to refine the body's dantian, and finally to refine the spiritual sense.    

Body forging, Qi refining, and spirit cultivation!    

One would be able to break through if all three were complete.    

"Judging by the time, that slut should have come to the battlefield."    

In the middle region of Void Battlefield, Yang Ruoyi muttered to himself as he looked at the roiling baleful aura in the sky.    

At that time, although he still had not found out who was the mastermind behind the rumors, from the subtle signs, it seemed that Jiu Muli was most likely involved.    

This was instinct, and there was no reason for it.    

Aside from Yang Ruoyi, Zuo Xi, who was in another realm, also had a guess in his heart. However, he did not think of Jiu Muli, but suspected him.    

Other than Yang Ruoyi and him, in the entire Guancheng, the person with the most joint Heaven's Pride was Meng Xianyue. Furthermore, Meng Xianyue and Yang Ruoyi had been at loggerheads with each other for a long time, and neither of them were convinced by the other.
