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

After getting a general understanding of the information about the underground palace that Biyu knew, Chu Xiu let her stay in the market and go to the underground palace with Mo Lie.

His purpose for this trip was clear: to see the Butterfly Queen's true form and retrieve the spirits of her clansmen that she had lost around her true form.

Therefore, Chu Xiu and Mo Lie sped along, bypassing the outer hall of the underground palace and heading straight for the inner hall.

At this time, the main gate to the first floor of the inner hall was not yet open.

According to Jade, the main gate to the inner palace's first floor is unsealed at noon every day, but there are other restrictions.

To activate it, it requires the combined efforts of ten cultivators with divine souls at the Great Perfection of the Transcendent Realm.

Chu Xiu and Mo Lie stopped in front of the tightly closed stone door on the first floor of the inner hall. It was still two hours before noon, but a large number of cultivators from various races who wanted to explore the first floor of the inner hall had already gathered in front of the stone door.

Chu Xiu casually glanced around, but in a secluded corner, he spotted a petite figure.

He was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, quickly walked behind the petite figure, and picked her up in his arms.

"Ah Nu!"

She appears to be a delicate and adorable little girl, but her true form is A'nu, the ancestor of the Blood Burial Flower Demon Clan of the Southern Continent. Upon seeing someone ambush her, she was startled and simultaneously activated her divine soul power at the Great Perfection of the Transcending Truth Realm.

Just as he was about to slap this blind scoundrel to death, he heard a very familiar voice.

"Chu Xiu?" A Nu turned around in surprise, and what came into view was Chu Xiu's handsome face with a gentle smile.

"It really is you!"

Chu Xiu was just as happy as A Nu. A Nu's presence here meant that his friends must have all arrived safely in the Demon Realm as planned.

"Why are you here?"

The two people, one big and one small, asked the same question at the same time.

Anu chuckled and spoke first: "My clan, along with the Lin and Chu families, has now settled in the southern border of the Northern State of the Eastern Continent. Thanks to your sword spirit and nine-tailed fox friend, none of the three families have suffered any losses."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu was overjoyed.

The Blood Burial Flower Demon Clan, along with the Lin and Chu families, and Chi Xiao and Tu Shan Mingyue, have a total of about five Reincarnation Realm experts. If it weren't for a treacherous demon like Mo Lie, they would certainly be able to settle down safely in the Demon Realm.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiu turned his head to look at Mo Lie, who was following behind him.

If Old Deng hadn't been so brutal earlier, he wouldn't have been so frightened that he got separated from his friends.

Following Chu Xiu's gaze, A Nu immediately spotted Mo Lie behind him, his old face beaming with obsequiousness.

"It's him!"

The moment Anu saw Mo Lie's figure, the hellish scene of the blood-soaked Southern Continent immediately flashed into her mind, and the instigator of such unbearable memories was none other than this person!

In an instant, A-Nu's vigilance and spiritual power reached their peak.

Chu Xiu shook his head slightly at her. Even though A Nu was still in his arms, no more than a foot away, the cautious Chu Xiu still used his divine sense to transmit his voice:

"Calm down, don't act impulsively. I am not his enemy now."

"Furthermore, he and the people behind him may know information about the person who caused your Emperor and Butterfly Queen to be seriously injured and die."

Ah Nu was taken aback by what he heard, then forced himself to calm down and nodded silently.

Mo Lie initially recognized the little girl Chu Xiu was holding, so he fawned over her and approached her. However, he was startled by the little girl's sudden sharp gaze. Suddenly realizing something, he looked at Chu Xiu with a questioning look.

Chu Xiu nodded, and Mo Lie then sighed and explained:

"I'm sorry, I went mad that day... it wasn't my intention."

"Possessing demonic possession?" Chu Xiu frowned. "Is it because of that cultivation technique?"

Mo Lie nodded helplessly: "Ever since I started studying the sub-technique of the Supreme Heaven and Earth Technique, whenever I go into seclusion to break through a bottleneck in my cultivation, a demonic voice always echoes in my mind."

If my spirit had been weakened due to the breakthrough in overcoming the bottleneck, then my consciousness would have been controlled by some kind of will for a period of time. What I did during that time, I... know perfectly well, yet I was powerless to stop it.

"The Lord defines this phenomenon as... going astray in cultivation."

Chu Xiu remained silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Old Demon, I have a question for you. Please answer truthfully."

Mo Lie was taken aback and did not respond.

Seeing this, Chu Xiu still asked, "You already knew who the owner of this tomb's underground palace was, didn't you?"

Mo Lie's old eyes flickered slightly, but he remained silent.

Chu Xiu knew that Mo Lie's silence was related to Ye Wujiang, so he stopped pressuring him.

"It's alright if you don't want to say anything. I understand your difficulties. I will go back and ask your master myself."

Upon hearing this, Mo Lie's eyes showed gratitude.

There was no other way; it wasn't that he didn't want to speak... but rather that he couldn't and dared not!

Chu Xiu put A Nu back on the ground, which displeased her.

Chu Xiu ignored A Nu, who was venting her anger by stepping on his boots, and turned to Mo Lie, saying:

"Now that you know who the tomb's owner is, I will only ask you one question."

"If I were to save her, would you become my enemy?"

Mo Lie hurriedly denied it: "No, Young Master Chu, the reason why the Lord is paying attention to these two people in the Southern Continent and this tomb is actually because he wants to lend a helping hand."

"What the Lord desires is merely that these two, after their resurrection, will also lend him a hand."

Chu Xiu was taken aback: Could it be that he was overthinking things?

Nightless Blade did not collude with the Misty Ghosts, but merely used them to achieve his own goals.

Is his goal really just to restore the glory of the Yaksha tribe?

Seeing the urgency and sincerity in Mo Lie's eyes, Chu Xiu chose to believe him for the time being.

He looked at Anu, who was half his height, and asked, "How do you know about this place?"

Anu pointed to her heart and explained, "It was the Emperor who conveyed a message to me, informing me that the Butterfly Queen's true form was hidden here."

She guessed that if you also arrived safely in the Demon Realm, you would definitely go here.

Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow: "How is the Phoenix Empress doing now?"

Anu sighed: "His soul is severely damaged and he is still recuperating. He was unable to come here."

Chu Xiu also sighed, "With our strength, we really can't provide her with effective help, we can only share some of her worries."

Anu asked, "How is the Butterfly Queen?"

Chu Xiu shook his head: "She is still seriously injured. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have risked coming here."

"After all, that Blood Demon is really difficult to deal with."

"But you still came. You already have a plan?" Anu laughed.

Chu Xiu nodded slightly and looked at Mo Lie:

"The old demon's master condescended to befriend me and gave me a cultivation technique that can restrain the Blood Demon, and the effect is remarkable."

"The old demon's cultivation technique is slightly weaker, but it should still be able to restrain the blood demon to some extent."

"This journey should be without trouble. Let's not delay. The three of us will travel together, and we must be careful."

"understand!"
