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

"Is the blood mist here all emanating from this soul weapon?"

Chu Xiu intended to walk towards the location of the mysterious longsword, but just as he was about to take a step out, a sense of crisis surged into his heart, making the hairs on his body stand on end.

"It's a scam!"

Chu Xiu hurriedly recalled the Azure Flame Cone, only to discover that a force was vying with him for control of it!

"Oops!"

"That Soul Weapon Sword also has a weapon spirit!"

Knowing that he was too far away from the Azure Flame Cone to provide any assistance, Chu Xiu immediately stepped forward and shot towards the location of the Azure Flame Cone.

The Azure Flame Cone is now his most important tool and trump card, and he must not lose it now!

The closer he got to the longsword, the thicker the blood mist became, and Chu Xiu's perception of his surroundings became smaller and smaller, until his divine sense and imperial aura shield could only extend from inside his body to the surface, and could no longer expand outwards even a fraction.

All of this must be due to an invisible force restricting Chu Xiu's ability to detect and protect himself.

Finally, a whooshing sound came from the blood mist in front of him. Although Chu Xiu's divine sense could not detect anything, his imperial aura sensed that the imperial aura thunder pearl on the Qingyan Cone was flying towards his direction.

The next second, Qingyan Cone's figure broke through the blood mist and returned to Chu Xiu's side. It immediately activated its Imperial Aura Domain, expelling the blood mist within a ten-meter radius around Chu Xiu from the domain.

"Qingyan, what is that power?"

Chu Xiu recalled the Azure Flame Cone into his hand and asked.

The flames of the Azure Flame Cone flickered, and messages were transmitted into Chu Xiu's sea of ​​consciousness through the soul connection.

"You mean, that longsword is also the soul weapon of your former master—the Azure Flame Demon Emperor? And of a higher grade than yours? And its spirit is more powerful than yours?"

The flames of the Azure Flame Cone flared up briefly, as if confirming Chu Xiu's question.

"This place is not safe to stay any longer; it's best to leave now!"

Chu Xiu frowned. Just as he was about to leave this place thick with blood mist, he found himself suddenly frozen in place. The space around him was locked by a mysterious force, making him and the Azure Flame Cone unable to move at all.

Immediately afterwards, a blood-red figure emerged from the thick blood mist and stepped into the Emperor's Domain unleashed by the Azure Flame Cone.

This situation caused Chu Xiu's pupils to tremble.

Finished!

This blood-red figure can ignore his Emperor's Domain!

Now, his strongest trump card is completely useless against his opponent. If the newcomer is hostile, he may really be doomed this time!

After the blood-red figure stepped into Chu Xiu's Emperor Domain, the blood mist on his body gradually dissipated under the constant attacks of the Emperor's Qi and lightning within the domain.

The next moment, a tall and graceful woman with a long, silver ponytail reaching her waist, wearing a silver ghost mask and a fitted outfit appeared in front of Chu Xiu.

Plop, plop.

As the woman's footsteps drew closer to the immobile Chu Xiu, his heart nearly leaped into his throat.

Even through that hideous ghost mask, Chu Xiu could feel the woman's sharp gaze sweeping over him.

"You...have acknowledged him as your master?"

The woman suddenly spoke, but the person she was asking was not Chu Xiu, but the Azure Flame Cone in Chu Xiu's hand!

The Azure Flame Cone's mobility suddenly returned to normal, and it immediately flew angrily to the woman, its flames flickering as if expressing its dissatisfaction.

"What are you in a hurry for?"

"I wasn't trying to kill him..."

The graceful woman impatiently waved her hand, shooing away the Azure Flame Cones that were swarming around her like flies, and looked at Chu Xiu.

"You possess such a vast amount of imperial aura within you, and you've even mastered the Asura clan's techniques? No wonder this blood energy couldn't corrupt your mind..."

Oh? You're actually a human?

"interesting……"

The woman snapped her fingers, and the space around Chu Xiu returned to normal.

Having regained his mobility, Chu Xiu knew that his opponent was so powerful that he couldn't escape no matter what. He could only respectfully apologize to the woman.

"I apologize for disturbing your cultivation, fairy..."

"Please forgive me, fairy."

"Fairy?"

The woman glanced at Chu Xiu sideways, her originally sharp gaze softening slightly at his respectful address, seemingly quite pleased with being called a fairy.

"What a polite child..."

The woman reached out and summoned back the Azure Flame Cone that she had shooed aside, then looked at Chu Xiu:

"Did you remove the karmic consequences of killing it?"

Chu Xiu dared not hide it and could only nod: "It's me."

A glint flashed in the woman's eyes: "You, someone who has just entered the Reincarnation Realm?"

Chu Xiu smiled slightly: "Just because I'm someone who has just entered the Reincarnation Realm!"

The woman seemed to sense the certainty in Chu Xiu's tone. She took a step, and Chu Xiu felt that he and the Azure Flame Cone were moved by a spatial force. By the time he reacted, the long sword that he had only seen in his sea of ​​consciousness through the divine sense attached to the Azure Flame Cone appeared in front of him.

No, it wasn't that the longsword appeared, but rather that my body was moved to stand in front of it!

This mysterious woman was able to use her spatial teleportation ability on him without him noticing!

In other words, if she wanted to kill him, she only needed a single thought, and the space around him could crush and grind his body to pieces!

Chu Xiu felt a wave of fear. Fortunately, this woman knew Qingyanzhui, so she shouldn't let him die here.

The masked woman glanced at Chu Xiu, who was sweating profusely, sneered, pointed to the chains binding the longsword, and asked Chu Xiu:

"If you have truly removed the karmic debt of killing from Qingyan's body, then help me sever these chains, and I will help you leave this place safely, how about it?"

Chu Xiu suppressed his lingering fear and calmed himself down. He didn't look at the chains, but at the masked woman:

"I can try to help you break the chains..."

"If we can sever the ties, I'm not entirely satisfied with the reward you've offered."

"Interesting, you dare to offer your opinion?"

"Do you think that just because you're the new master of Qingyan, I won't kill you?"

The masked woman sneered and reached out to grab Chu Xiu. Chu Xiu immediately felt an invisible force gripping his neck, his face gradually turning red and his breathing becoming increasingly difficult.

"Even though my true body is bound by these damned chains, with just the power of my artifact spirit, I am still a Great Perfection of the Qiankun Realm. Crushing you, a mere Reincarnation Realm cultivator, will be effortless!"

Seeing the woman suddenly display murderous intent towards her master, Qingyan Cone paced anxiously to the side, at a loss for what to do.

With its meager strength, if it were to rashly attack the woman, it would only provoke her greater rage.

"Fairy..."

Suffocating, Chu Xiu's face gradually turned purple, and he managed to utter a few words:

"Apart from me..."

"No one can help you... break these chains of causality!"

The woman's hand, which had been gradually exerting force, paused. She glanced coldly at Chu Xiu, her delicate brows furrowed, and in a fit of pique, flung Chu Xiu away.

Chu Xiu was right. Even her former master, who had been dead for countless years, could not sever such a powerful force as severing cause and effect. Chu Xiu was the first person she had ever seen do so.

Chu Xiu fell to the ground, panting heavily on all fours, and it took him a while to recover.

The masked woman waited patiently for Chu Xiu's expression to return to normal before speaking in a cold voice: "Tell me your opinion."
