The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"That's right, otherwise, with the remaining Heavenly Dao laws in this shattered void, it would be impossible to maintain the existence of a cave world!"

Mo Lie frowned and pondered, "But if that's the case, the master of this tomb must at least be a Qiankun Realm expert..."

"With such cultivation, even if he were to perish, the remnant soul remaining in the tomb is far beyond our reach..."

After saying that, Mo Lie looked at Chu Xiu: "Young Master Chu, why don't we go in and take the risk?"

Chu Xiu shook his head slightly: "The owner of this tomb has something I want."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have risked making a deal with Namodi to come here."

Seeing that Chu Xiu was determined to do so, Mo Lie stopped trying to dissuade him.

With his cultivation at the Great Perfection of the Reincarnation Realm, even if he encountered the remnant soul of the tomb's master inside the tomb, and couldn't defeat him, he could still take Chu Xiu away at the cost of serious injury, using methods only available at the cost of his life.

Seeing that Mo Lie was no longer trying to dissuade him and showed no signs of leaving, Chu Xiu smiled and asked:

"What, Elder Demon, do you wish to come inside with me?"

Mo Lie chuckled: "You are now a...distinguished guest of my Mo Yan Sect! If anything happens to you, I'll lose my head in front of the Lord."

Chu Xiu nodded.

The owner of this tomb was the true form of the Phantom Butterfly Queen, whom he and the Fire Phoenix Demon Emperor had previously purified together.

Meanwhile, the demonic soul of the Phantom Butterfly Queen is currently healing itself in its own storage space, emerging from its cocoon.

Since her demonic soul was corrupted by the strange Gu worms of the Misty Sea, her true form was naturally in no better shape.

With Mo Lie accompanying us, our lives are more secure on this trip.

According to the Fire Phoenix Demon Emperor, the Butterfly Queen's demon soul and true form were separated.

It must have been that during the escape of the Phoenix Emperor and the Butterfly Queen, they had no choice but to find this stone palace, temporarily leaving the Butterfly Queen's true form in the stone palace and planting some Blood Burial Flowers, before leaving with only her demon soul.

After all, the physical bodies of powerful demons can be refined here using the Blood Burial Flower, but if their demon souls are destroyed, they will truly be wiped out.

From this perspective, the Butterfly Emperor's physical body must have been worshipped by the Blood Burial Flower long ago, otherwise the Blood Burial Flower would not have been able to leave the Butterfly Emperor's internal universe and be obtained by Modi.

Chu Xiu frowned: How could an unclaimed demon body possibly possess the ability to allow its servants to leave its inner universe?

In this situation, there are only two possibilities.

Firstly, the Butterfly Queen's demon body contains the remnant soul of its original owner, and the universe within her body has expanded out of control or intentionally beyond her demon body.

Secondly, the Butterfly Queen's demonic body has already been controlled by the Blood Demon Gu worm...

This second point is precisely what Chu Xiu didn't want to encounter.

This Phantom Butterfly Queen is a demon king at the Qiankun Realm or even above...

In this world, cultivators cultivate both their soul and body. Apart from outsiders like Chu Xiu who have had extraordinary encounters and can achieve a soul power far exceeding their physical cultivation, almost all cultivators in the world maintain a balance between their internal and external cultivation.

In other words, if the Butterfly Queen's demonic body is truly controlled by the Blood Demon Gu worm, then what Chu Xiu will have to face is the Butterfly Queen's demonic body, which has recovered to near its peak state after being repaired by the Blood Demon Flower for ten thousand years!

A true peerless expert at the Qiankun Realm or even above!

Let alone Chu Xiu, even Mo Lie would be reduced to ashes with just a thought in front of the Butterfly Queen in this state.

Chu Xiu looked at the tightly closed stone door, his heart filled with hesitation.

Enter?

Still not coming in?

It seems unnecessary for me to risk my life for someone I've only just met...

"never mind……"

Just as Chu Xiu sighed helplessly and was about to turn and leave, a soft, pleading voice rang in his mind:

“Help…help me…”

Chu Xiu was taken aback and probed his storage space with his divine sense.

The butterfly queen, who had been in a cocoon, panicked upon learning that Chu Xiu had given up on entering the stone mansion, and disregarding her severe injuries, forcibly broke free of her cocoon.

As a result, she was still severely injured when she forcibly withdrew from the healing state, causing her soul to be severely damaged again. Her naked demon soul body fell out of the cocoon and collapsed helplessly in a pool of liquid with miraculous healing effects on the soul.

A pair of beautiful purple eyes, emitting a faint glow, looked at Chu Xiu, who had manifested his divine soul within the storage space, filled with pleading.

"Please...please help me..."

Chu Xiu couldn't help but sigh. He flashed to the Butterfly Queen's side, took out a cloak from his storage space, draped it over her body, and helped her up.

However, the Butterfly Queen was extremely weak and could not even sit still, so Chu Xiu had to sit down first and let the Butterfly Queen lean on his arms.

"Butterfly Queen... I'm just a True Transcending Realm cultivator, how can I help you..."

Seeing the Butterfly Queen's frail appearance, Chu Xiu felt a pang of pity.

The once mighty demon emperor has now fallen to such a state that he must beg for the help of ants...

She must be very sad inside...

Previously, even when faced with help from her former friend, the Phoenix Emperor, she had shown great resistance...

Now, however, he's pleading with someone he's just met...

Could there be something within this stone mansion, or perhaps within its true form, that she is compelled to reclaim, even at the cost of her dignity...?
