As Qi Xi watched the departing figure, he suddenly realized that this person's martial arts skills were quite strange. Just now, the other party asked about the Phoenix Princess. Although he had been framed in the sect, His Highness was someone he admired. What if this person was going to harm His Highness?

Thinking of this, he picked up his sword and chased after them up the mountain, but after only a few steps, he encountered a group of skeletons that covered the path up the mountain, stretching as far as the eye could see in the darkness.

Then, Wang Mu leaped several times, and his figure was already more than a hundred meters away.

Now there are more and more skeletons, and their levels are getting higher and higher. Even ants can kill an elephant if there are enough of them, let alone these skeletons, which are like an undead swarm.

Seeing the densely packed skeletons on the ground, and even more flying skeletons in the air, he dared not be careless in the slightest. He did not deliberately avoid fighting, but instead charged up the mountain after landing.

In one spot, after the last skeleton fell to the ground, Xuya gently wiped the fine sweat from her forehead. In just over an hour, she already felt a bit exhausted.

However, looking at the tens of thousands of skeletons on both sides of the path, she knew that she had achieved her goal. Because she had brought a lot of skeletons from the mountain, the Phoenix Princess Guard Corps guarding the palace would naturally be under less pressure in the latter half of the night.

Without tidying her messy hair or caring about the stains on her body, she walked to a flat rock and used the brief moment to meditate.

A few minutes later, the sound rang out again, and countless skeletons crawled onto the path. These skeletons were taller and more robust than before.

She came to the path, looked at the skeletons walking in front and behind her, and then looked down at the cliff below, where many more skeletons were climbing up.

She thought to herself that her Flame Spirit Power was only at level six. Although she had many spirit power scrolls and treasures, she could only use them in the latter half of the night, at the crucial moment.

Right now, he can only rely on his own Flame Spiritual Power to kill the skeletons, but it is obviously difficult for him to do it alone. Looking around the Holy Mountain, there are flashes of light in the darkness, which are streams of Flame Spiritual Power.

She couldn't help but smile bitterly. At this moment, who would come to her rescue? As the skeleton drew closer, she began to chant a spiritual incantation.

Several dazzling white lights swept across the skeletons in front and behind. Wherever the white light swept, the skeletons fell to the ground, either turning into black dust or scattering their bones. A person stood guard on the mountain path, silently killing endless skeletons, which was truly heartbreaking.

Wang Mu fought his way through, but seeing that there were simply too many skeletons, he had no choice but to fly up a tall tree, leap over several large rocks with his feet, and after landing, slap away more than a dozen flying skeletons that attacked from the air. He then slapped them away a few more times, clearing the path ahead.

He looked around the holy mountain. The black night sky seemed to be occupied by skeletons. There were countless skeletons in every corner, and there were bright white lights and fireballs, like fireworks during the New Year in his previous life. There were shouts from time to time, but they were not as crisp as fireworks and firecrackers.

He walked forward for a while and came to a shady path. He saw white light flashing from time to time and knew that there were Li Yan cultists ahead who were using Li Yan spiritual power to kill skeletons.

Without giving way, he turned a corner and saw a girl dressed in white not far ahead. She looked to be about his age and was fighting alone against the skeletons attacking from both sides.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think, "This is strange. Could it be that this person has committed another crime and has become cannon fodder?"

The army of skeletons kept coming, and over time, Xuya's spiritual energy was being depleted too quickly. With the skeletons only two or three feet away from her, she was unable to deal with the skeletons in front and behind her, and suddenly she was in a panic.

Unable to bear it any longer, Wang Mu leaped up and landed behind her, slapping her several times, causing the skeletons behind her to collapse to the ground with a clatter.

Xu Ya unleashed a burst of fiery spiritual power, clearing away the skeletons several meters ahead. Hearing the commotion behind her, she quickly turned around and saw a young man standing behind her.

Judging from the other person's attire, they were clearly not from any sect, so he couldn't help but ask, "Who are you, and how dare you trespass into the Holy Mountain?"

When the other person turned around, Wang Mu was stunned. The girl in front of him was pretty, but her face was covered in black and gray dirt, and her whole body was covered in black and gray stains. Her hair was also messy.

Thinking that this person had spent a lot of time here, she kindly asked, "Don't worry about who I am. Judging from your appearance, have you committed a crime as well?"

Xu Ya asked, "What crime have you committed? What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Isn't that right? Otherwise, why would the sect have abandoned you here, leaving you to fend for yourself?"

Xu Ya seemed to understand a bit. Looking at the young man in front of her, she noticed that he didn't recognize her and wondered why he had come to the sacred mountain at this time.

She was about to persuade him to come down the mountain when Wang Mu suddenly burst into laughter.

Because of what happened with Qixi earlier, he naturally thought that the girl in front of him must have been abandoned on this path, just like the previous person.

Xu Ya was a little confused. "What are you laughing at all?"

"Tsk tsk, I must say, there isn't a single good person in the Li Yan Sect. They let a delicate and beautiful young girl fend for herself here. Doesn't anyone have even a shred of compassion? Alas, what a tragedy."

Xuya had been fighting here for nearly two hours, and now her hair was disheveled and her white clothes were tattered and dirty.

Besides, being all alone here, who would have thought that she is the current princess of the Li Yan Phoenix Clan?

Wang Mu had never met Xu Ya before. They met on the mountain path, and he never imagined that the person in front of him was the Phoenix Clan princess he was looking for.

Just as Xu Ya was about to rebuke the other party for mocking her and slandering Li Yanzong, another group of skeletons surrounded her from the front and back.

"Why are you standing there in a daze? These skeletons are quite formidable."

After Wang Mu finished speaking, he struck out with his palms several more times, turning the skull a few meters in front of him into a pile of bone fragments.

Xu Ya saw it clearly. Seeing the boy's strange martial arts skills and the lack of fluctuations in spiritual power and battle qi, she immediately guessed who he was. She never expected that the emperor she had been looking for would appear under such circumstances.

Seeing that she was still in a daze, Wang Mu said, "You really are something. Now that I've told you what's on your mind, are you just going to give up and let these skeletons kill you?"

After he finished speaking, he walked to the other end and smashed the skull that had come before him.

"What nonsense are you talking about? That's not what you're saying about committing a crime."

"Then why are you here alone?"

"I was on my way to find Princess Phoenix to report something important, but I accidentally got stuck here."

Upon hearing this, Wang Mu immediately asked, "Are you going to find the Phoenix Clan Princess?"

“Yes, are you one too?” Xu Ya asked, her eyes wide with surprise.

"I need her help with something small," Wang Mu said while sweeping the skull. "By the way, is the Phoenix Princess really up there?"
