This girl is a streetwalker in the demon world

Everyone was silent about the possibility that Lu Xiulin would run back to the imperial capital to "avenge" without saying a word.

After a long while, Murong Ziqiu said, "We can't help with Xiulin's matter. We can only finish the things on hand first, such as preparing for the upcoming Immortal Gate Conference." He looked at Shao Shuang'er who was worried and comforted her, "Shuang'er, the most important thing for you now is to improve your strength. If you fail this time, I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to think about other things."

An Ling looked at Shao Shuang'er's gloomy expression and couldn't help asking, "Is there no other way? It will be difficult for Senior Sister Shuang'er to get into the top three, even in the youth group."

Although what she said was unpleasant to hear, it was the truth. If Shao Shuang'er insisted on taking this path, the challenges she would face would be unimaginable.

Shao Shuang'er smiled bitterly and shook her head, "What else can I do? If I run away from the marriage, then the emperor will think that my Shao family disrespects the emperor's orders. Given the emperor's temper, I'm afraid that on that day, my Shao Mansion will be filled with blood and corpses. Even if I die and find other sisters in the family to marry in my place, the waves caused by this marriage will not subside, because the emperor just wants to find a reason to control the Shao family, or directly cut off the roots. I guess the emperor probably hates us to the core a long time ago."

"How could the Shao family, with several generations of heroes, end up like this?" Murong Ziqiu had heard a little about the major events in the world. Shao Shuang'er's family was a founding hero of Daxuan, and they were generals who fought on the battlefield with Emperor Taizu. Even if the emperor on earth was very heartless, he would not treat the Shao family like this, right?

"That's the problem," Shao Shuang'er continued, "When I went home two years ago, I heard a secret. It is said that my Shao family was involved in a major event 20 years ago, which made the emperor very wary. The marriage contract was just a coincidence, and the purpose was to control the Shao family."

"And this matter is related to the Futian Army."

When An Ling heard the two key words "twenty years ago" and "Futian Army", her heart skipped a beat and she quickly asked, "Could it be that the Futian Army is causing trouble in the imperial capital?"

"I don't know about that," Shao Shuang'er shook her head, "I was just a baby at that time and I can't remember anything at all."

"Why are there Immortal Emperors and Futian Army everywhere..." An Ling thought of Li Wanjian, who was tricked into being the enemy of the whole world. Calculating the time, it was about twenty years ago. There was also the old man Wuqiu who brought out the Skeleton Army Formation from the Immortal Emperor's Mausoleum and used it to domineering things...

"Wait a minute," An Ling suddenly looked at Murong Ziqiu and asked quickly, "Brother, twenty years ago... or around that time, were the people of the Futian Army so active?"

Murong Ziqiu thought for a moment, "I don't think I've heard much about this from my family elders. Also, when I was reading history books before, I found that the people of the Futian Army usually lived in seclusion and were elusive. They wouldn't show up easily. In the past thousand years, they've only appeared a few times."

He seemed to understand something and asked quickly, "What do you mean?"

"Alas..." An Ling said in a low voice, "I think I understand what's going on. Everything is related to the mysterious 'Immortal Emperor's Tomb'!"

Afterwards, she told everyone about the encounter with the old man Wugui with the skeleton army outside Hongliu Town, and added: "I learned from General Qi who guards Tianxing Prefecture that this ghost skeleton is related to the Immortal Emperor, and that this evil cultivator called the old man Wugui may have grasped the clues about the Immortal Emperor's mausoleum, so those evil cultivators kept chasing him."

"Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that twenty years ago, when the ghost skull first appeared, the news of the Immortal Emperor's Mausoleum had already spread. As a result, people from all sides were ready to make a move. They all had different ideas in mind and started a lot of struggles in the dark around the Immortal Emperor's Mausoleum."

"Among them, the ones who care the most about the tomb left by the Immortal Emperor must be the remnant Futian Army. It is not surprising that they would do anything to restore the Immortal Emperor. I was wondering why they were so active before. Now I think they are probably coming for the Immortal Emperor's tomb!"

Wu Baiquan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interrupted and said, "Junior Sister, what does the... ghost skeleton you mentioned look like?"

An Ling thought for a moment and described it: "It is a tall skeleton ghost. Its body is covered with black armor, even covering its face. There seem to be two balls of fire burning in its eye sockets. The ghost skeleton holds a long sword and has great strength. The most terrifying thing is that they usually move in groups and can form a military formation to attack and defend in the form of a formation. It is very scary."

An Ling remembered that when she was just a rookie, she had a fight with a ghost skeleton. Thinking about it now, she was even a little scared. At that time, she was just a rookie who was not afraid of tigers. She dared to stand in front of the ghost skeleton with a sword. If it were not for the Cloud Demon who later controlled the ghost skeleton's actions with the Soul-Taking Bell, she would probably not see the sun the next day.

"I... I think I've seen it..." Wu Baiquan's entire body went cold, and he was even shaking. "It happened when I was very young. At that time, I was still living in the mountains with... my family. My brother and I went to play in the mountains, and we didn't return to the village until very late. As a result, when we were close to the village, we smelled a strong smell of blood."

He recalled everything that had happened before, closed his eyes tightly, and his whole body was shaking. The experience that night was a nightmare that he would never forget. Murong Ziqiu walked to his side, put his shoulder against his shoulder, and provided him with support.

Wu Baiquan continued to recount his experience: "I was terrified at the time. I don't remember exactly how old I was. All I remember now is that my brother kept pulling me to run. We ran and ran, and when we were about to run out of the forest, a disgusting-looking man blocked our way. Behind him was the kind you described... a ghost skeleton, exactly the same."

"He rang the bell and ordered the Skeleton Ghost to kill us, while he stared at me with his mouth drooling..." Wu Baiquan's teeth were chattering, "He said... he said... children taste the best and should be saved for later."

"My brother...he..." Wu Baiquan sobbed, tears streaming down his face. "In order to keep me alive, he pushed me off the cliff. My head hit a rock and I passed out. When I came to, I desperately crawled back there, trying to find my brother."

He grinned, but it seemed as if he was crying and not laughing. "There was only a pile of minced meat left. My brother, like my whole family, is gone."

"Senior Brother..." An Ling's eyes were filled with tears. After such an experience, it was not easy for Wu Baiquan to cheer up.

"I didn't dare to go back, fearing that the evil cultivator would continue to kill me, so I had no choice but to wander around Wuzhou City alone," he laughed, but sat down dejectedly, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say this, but I'm a thief! I did everything to survive, but no one was willing to take me in, and no one was willing to give me a bite of food! I had no choice but to steal! To rob! As long as I could survive, who would care about so many things?"

"Just at this time, Lao Wu...Master...he found me and asked me if I wanted to practice with him."

"I asked him, Xiu Lian, is there any food to eat?"

"He said he would definitely not let me starve, so I came here."
