Starting with the Magic Absorption Technique: I swept through the fantasy world.

Seeing that the boy didn't recognize her and that he had sneaked up the mountain at this time, Xu Ya decided to conceal her identity and try to find out what he wanted.

She nodded and said, "The Phoenix Princess isn't in the palace right now, so where do you think she might be?"

Wang Mu thought it made sense; the Phoenix Princess should be protected by a group of guards, staying in her palace.

Then another batch of skeletons arrived, already as tall as a person, and there were also skeletons like bone horses and bone tigers.

"what!"

Xuya screamed, never expecting the high-level skeletons to arrive so quickly. According to historical records, the skeletons that came in the first half of the night should not be of high level.

Wang Mu met the skeleton army head-on, and after a few blows, he discovered that these skeletons were much stronger than level 5 or 7 magical beasts.

Upon seeing this, Xuya turned around to deal with the skeletons below.

After finishing the previous section, Wang Mu intended to head up the mountain, but then thought better of it and decided he should at least say hello to the other party.

He went to the previous spot and found that the section below had been cleared away. The person was walking back, and when he got close, he said, "Hey, I'm leaving. You'd better watch yourself."

Xu Ya said in a coquettish voice, "How could you do this to me? Leaving me here all alone, don't you have even a little bit of sympathy? You were just talking about how great the sect was."

Wang Mu was a little embarrassed, so he made up an excuse, "It's not that I want to leave, but the skeletons here are much more powerful than those down the mountain."

Xu Ya couldn't help but laugh, but she forced herself to suppress it and rolled her eyes at the boy. "How should I know? Is this your reason for leaving me?"

Wang Mu was stunned. Looking at the smile on the other person's face, he realized that he had been taken advantage of.

"Hmph, you should leave now. We don't even know each other. Besides, I'm all alone in the sect. If I die, I die."

After Xuya finished speaking, she turned away with sadness and resentment, but as she turned, a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

Thinking that he wasn't in a hurry anyway, Wang Mu said, "Fine, I know you're trying to provoke me, but I'll take the bait."

Xu Ya turned around with a smile, "You still have a conscience. Ah, quite a few more skeletons have come after you."

Wang Mu laughed and said, "You'd better watch yourself. Look behind you, there's quite a bunch of them, haha."

As Xu Ya faced the approaching skeleton, she quickly chanted a spell, and a burst of fiery spiritual power appeared, imbued with holiness. The skeletons enveloped within it all turned into a cloud of gray mist.

Faced with mid-to-high-level skeletons, she knew she couldn't use low-level spiritual power anymore, but her Li Yan spiritual power was being consumed too quickly.

Wang Mu fought his way up, and Xu Ya came over. She saw that he was killing skeletons with his bare hands.

Wang Mu turned around and laughed, "Your skill in leveling up by fighting monsters is really clever."

"What is leveling up by fighting monsters?" Xu Ya naturally didn't understand and asked the other person with a curious look.

Wang Mu realized he had misspoke. Seeing the other person looking at him, he could only say, "It's just a game."

Xu Ya was both amused and exasperated. The Yin Spirits in Japan were already extremely dangerous, and it wasn't even past midnight yet. The undead creatures they were dealing with were just appetizers. She hadn't expected the Emperor to call it a game. Then, another burst of fiery spiritual power killed off the remaining skeletons.

We've finally repelled this wave of skeletons; we can take a break now.

"Let's go down."

After the Phoenix Princess finished speaking, she smoothed her disheveled hair, and her unique charm immediately attracted Wang Mu.

"Wow, I didn't expect her to be such a stunning beauty, almost on par with her." Wang Mu couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Xu Ya turned around. "Who is this 'she' you're talking about?"

“A princess of the Phoenix Clan,” Wang Mu blurted out.

Xu Ya was secretly startled, thinking that the question was directed at her, "Have you ever met the Phoenix Princess?"

Wang Mu smiled and didn't hide anything, "She's the Phoenix Princess of the Dark Sect."

Xu Ya was furious upon hearing this. She knew about Feng Ji's affair with the Emperor and couldn't help but ask, "Who is prettier, me or her?"

Wang Mu was taken aback, looking at the girl in front of him, "Do you also know Princess Feng Ji of the Phoenix Clan?"

As Xu Ya walked, she said, "Of course I know the two great phoenix princesses on the continent. By the way, you haven't answered my question yet."

Wang Mu thought it made sense. The followers of the two sects must have seen each other's phoenix princesses. When the other party pressed for details, he smiled and said, "You two are equally beautiful, each with your own unique charm. Anyway, you're both gorgeous."

Xuya had no choice but to say, "Hurry up and kill the skeletons!"

After she finished speaking, she smiled at Wang Mu, walked downstairs, and went to deal with the skeletons that came up by herself.

At this moment, Wang Mu approached the skeleton and found that it was a level higher than before. He quickly turned around and shouted, "What's going on? How come these skeletons have suddenly become a level stronger?"

Xu Ya's voice came from around the corner, "I don't know either."

In truth, the Phoenix Princess had no idea what was going on. Dealing with the skeletons was the priority right now, so she didn't have time to think about these things.

Although Wang Mu was a bit slow in killing the skeletons, it wasn't difficult for him. He would occasionally use the Fiery Palm or the Monument-Splitting Palm to meet them, or he would directly use the Gale to shatter the skeletons that came forward. He didn't need any special moves and just crushed them all the way through. With the support of the Xuanjiu Heart Sutra, his internal energy didn't run out.

After fighting his way through, he turned around and saw that the white light below seemed to be weakening. A scream came from below, and he turned back and ran down.

After turning the corner, a few meters downhill leads to a flat road over ten meters long. To the right of this section is a cliff, and to the other side is a ten-meter-high precipice. Although some skeletons have climbed up from below the cliff, there aren't many, and some of them fell off the cliff before they even made it up.

At this moment, Xuya had been forced back onto the flat ground by the skeleton and began to retreat uphill behind her.

As Wang Mu rounded the corner, he looked down and saw a dense array of skeletons lined up on the mountain path, closing in step by step.

With a loud roar, he slapped his palms several times, shattering several skeletons in front of the Phoenix Princess. He ran to Xu Ya's side and saw that her face was as white as paper, clearly indicating that she had exhausted her spiritual energy.

Xu Ya had no choice. It wasn't even midnight yet, and she was already facing a level six or seven undead creature, which was quite strenuous for her. She had no choice but to fight and retreat. Right now, she felt dizzy and lightheaded, and she didn't even have the strength to speak.

When the emperor came to her side, she simply nodded slightly and forced a smile, but her pale face looked somewhat eerie and frightening in the dim light.

"You should sit down and rest," Wang Mu said, and then went to help the other person up.

Xuya trembled slightly, feeling a bit repulsed. She didn't say anything and quietly stepped aside.

Wang Mu didn't think much of it and simply said, "Let's rest quickly." After saying that, he charged towards the skeletons below.

Xu Ya looked at the boy in front of her, her eyes flickering from time to time, and then slowly followed behind him.

Wang Mu charged onto the flat road, let out a loud shout, and unleashed the Cloud Wave Palm.

The stone slabs on the road overturned, crashing into the group of skeletons in front, and at the bottom of the slope, a stone wall as tall as a person was built.
