Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

The two men came prepared, but he could never have imagined that he was targeted more because of the ordinary children living deep in the alleys who had been deprived of hope by him.

deserved it.

Chapter 16: Intelligence

"What do you... want to know?"

Xie Li compromised.

The poison was ineffective, his dantian was destroyed, and his limbs were gone. Now he was a real lamb to be slaughtered, at their mercy. Even though he knew they wanted to extract secrets from him, he had no choice.

"What kind of tricks are you playing here at Bone Burial Mountain?"

Lu Mu went straight to the point. No matter why this guy came here, he was sent here, so this would not be a small fight.

The evil things that the Evil Heart Sect wants to do are often planned in advance, and the seeds are buried deeper, usually no one notices, but once the outbreak comes, it is impossible to stop it. In the Northeast Region, the Evil Heart Sect has been planning for a hundred years, hiding its true colors. The famous Xuanjian Pavilion and 70% of the elders have been planted with the magic poison, which is a hidden danger that can erupt at any time.

This century-long plan was destroyed in one day, just because Luo Shuangning went there and Lu Mu followed her.

So it was destroyed so easily.

So Lu Mu is quite excited now.

As long as he can foil the evil cultivator's schemes, he will never be too tired or too much effort.

"Bone Burial Mountain is a deadly place where resentment accumulates. I followed the orders of the sect and came here to set up a formation, but this is only one corner of the formation. Over the past few months, our people have traveled to every place in Southern Xinjiang and made hundreds of such arrangements..."

Xie Li did not hesitate, nor was he allowed to hesitate, and told the truth about the purpose of his visit.

"What formation? What is it used for?"

Gu Yunxi asked anxiously.

"I don't know. This formation is huge, and I don't know what it is used for. The sect has sent hundreds of people to assist King Nanling, but no one knows the full picture of this formation."

Scorpion answered breathlessly.

Hearing this, Gu Yunxi's face turned unhappy.

She naturally had hope in her heart that this guy would tell her all the information she wanted, but the Xiexin Sect was so unscrupulous that the sect leader would be beaten up whenever he left the headquarters and showed up in the outside world. Yet the sect was still like a dead insect, existing for thousands of years. If they had not been careful, they would definitely not be where they are today.

If these evil practitioners were so cautious, the conspiracy they were planning would surely be able to cause a huge storm.

Although Gu Yunxi was reluctant to think so, she thought that Sister Yanyao was probably not worth the Xiexin Sect making such a big fuss, nor was it worth it for King Nanling to take such a risk to cooperate with the evil cultivators in a conspiracy.

"It's really troublesome."

Gu Yunxi murmured depressedly.

"For such an operation, the Evil Heart Sect will naturally need someone to take charge of the situation to avoid unnecessary complications. I think they must have sent some very important people. Who are they?"

Lu Mu asked again.

"Elder Hunxin, the seventh level of Yuanji cultivation... and the sect master's personal disciple, Chief Xia Jiuxie."

"Xia Jiuxie?"

Gu Yunxi raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Why is it him?"

Gu Yunxi would never forget the name of Xia Jiuxie. He was the guy who wanted to kill the two princesses of the Xianhuang royal family in the Yueluo Secret Realm. In the end, he was defeated by Lu Mu in one move and escaped far away.

That guy's strength was actually not that strong, and Gu Yunxi had never taken him seriously. Although she had never thought about meeting him, if she did, she would just think of getting rid of him.

There has never been that opportunity.

"Humph, one of the two demons of Canxia. That guy actually dared to show up in the Central Region. He is quite courageous."

Lu Mu snorted coldly, his eyes flickering slightly.

"Although his bounty is not as high as his brother's, the bounty offered by the Immortal Phoenix Empire can attract many people to take his head."

"If it weren't for that elder, I'm afraid King Nanling would have chopped off his head without hesitation and presented it to the Emperor."

The "Two Demons of Canxia" were notorious, and there was an endless stream of people trying to kill them. Among them, the Xianhuang Empire was definitely the first to bear the brunt. After all, the four princes of the dynasty had all died at the hands of their brother Xia Jiuyou, and the two-year long hunt had not yielded any results. Although they had gained some strength, the majesty of the dynasty was lost overnight... Even their own prince had been killed by an evil cultivator. I wonder how many people had laughed at them behind their backs.

If King Nan Ling could capture Xia Jiuxie's head, Emperor Xian Huang would definitely respect him even more. With such a great achievement, King Nan Ling would probably be unable to resist.

That Hunxin elder was the one protecting Xia Jiuxie.

King Nanling couldn't beat him.

Then these little plans will have to be abandoned.

After all, life is more important.

“Haha, King Nanling wouldn’t dare to do that. The sect master’s personal disciple cannot be touched by anyone.”

There was turbid blood coming out of Xie Li's mouth, but he laughed mockingly a few times.

“Although I don’t know where you two little bastards came from, it’s best not to interfere too much in the affairs of the Evil Heart Sect, otherwise… hehe, you will be even more miserable than I am now.”

Even if he becomes a human stick, he never forgets to utter harsh words.

Gu Yunxi just thought it was funny.

Lu Mu was silent for a moment, then he squatted down, with mockery and coldness in his eyes, and took off the mask on his face.

When Xie Li saw his face, even the lingering smile on his face froze. His distracted eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, and he was no longer able to resist.

Lu Mu curled his lips lightly: "Do you recognize my face?"

Xie Li's whole body began to tremble, his teeth were grinding, and blood was flowing all over his jaw.

"you you……"

He couldn't speak a complete sentence, and could only slur his words, "How could it be... Why is the Shura Saint in the Central Region?!"

"Do you still think that I am a small person who cannot afford to offend the Evil Heart Sect?"

Lu Mu was satisfied to see Xie Li's shock, and a hint of hostility appeared in his eyes, "Xia Jiuyou is dead. If his brother doesn't go down to accompany him, isn't it a bit unreasonable?"

"So, even though you're a damned beast, thank you for telling me that Xia Jiuxie is in Southern Xinjiang."

He said as he stood up and put on his mask.

Xie Li was no longer able to speak, his pupils contracted violently and his eyeballs bulged out.

All this is because of this face.

Son of Shura.

That is the youngster who can make the clan master extremely furious.

"I have asked all the questions I need to ask. This guy can't say anything more valuable. You can do whatever you want with him."

Lu Mu nodded to Gu Yunxi, who hummed softly.

"You like eating people, don't you?"

Gu Yunxi's words made Xie Li feel that the pain in his body had become an even more bearable torture. He looked at this girl whose dress was spotless and whose smile was cruel and ruthless, and his eyes gradually became empty.

"Let me show you how it feels to watch yourself being eaten alive... This illusion is quite interesting, isn't it?"

Gu Yunxi snapped her fingers, and countless gray mists filled the air again. Her figure and that cruel smile disappeared in the mist. Once again, Xie Li fell into the terrifying virtual world of the illusion array.

Countless evil ghost-like monsters emerged from the side and walked towards him step by step.

"No, don't... please, don't eat me..."

Xie Li's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, filled with intense fear and wailing.

This illusion array was slightly modified by Gu Yunxi, and injected with true energy, so it has the effect of hurting people.

Although it wasn't true that a group of monsters were going to eat him alive, Gu Yunxi made sure that he would be injured like this and die in his favorite bloody feast.

That scream will not change Xie Li's fate.

But it can make Gu Yunxi feel more satisfied when she takes action because her anger has subsided.

Chapter 17: Sinister Plot

Lu Mu and Gu Yunxi walked into the cave. The shrill cries behind them became weaker and weaker, and finally stopped at a faint sound.

Xie Li is dead.

But he no longer needed attention. Lu Mu had already asked for what he wanted, and he also gave Xie Li what he wanted, which was death.

Although this way of dying is not pleasant.

This cave is very spacious, except for the entrance which is a little narrow. The deeper you go, the more empty the surroundings become. There is even a faint sense of growing chill, as if you have walked into a natural ice cellar. However, this chill comes from an increasingly heavy, almost tangible, dark atmosphere.

Even if this place is not a very dangerous place, it will not have any blessings.

"Tell me, what exactly does the Evil Heart Sect want to do?"

Gu Yunxi held up the flow of true qi, and the blood and fire true qi resisted the coldness around him.

In addition to the chilly chill, there was also a hint of decayed deathly air lingering on the mountain walls, as if one could smell the stench of a corpse.

"No matter what you do, it won't be good."

"When I was in the Northeast Region, I accidentally discovered the Xiexin Sect's plan to stir up chaos in the Northeast Region. The elders of the famous and upright sects had become puppets of the evil cultivators without knowing when. With just a thought from the evil cultivators, the elders' flesh and blood melted and turned into monsters, killing disciples everywhere..."

"It's a nightmare."

Lu Mu recalled what he had seen in the Northeast Region. In fact, not much time had passed, less than four months at most.

Xuanjian Shangge was destroyed overnight.

Who knows if the Xiexin Sect has tried the same trick on other sects and families in the Northeast Region?

Lu Mu didn't know the full picture of the conspiracy in the imperial dynasty's southern border, but just the tip of the iceberg was enough to make people frightened.

The Xiexin Sect never engages in petty trouble, let alone that this time they are going to cause trouble in the Xianhuang Empire. Given the deep hatred between the Xiexin Sect and the Empire in the past, it is impossible for them not to make some big moves.

In fact, they have a better way to deal with King Nan Ling. As long as they keep Xie Li alive and hand him over to the Xianhuang Empire for disposal, there is no need to say much about King Nan Ling's fate. His own cultivation is not high, and once the crime of treason is confirmed, even if he can escape from the Xianhuang Empire, he will just be a stray dog ​​and will never make any waves again.

But doing so would only require the Xiexin Sect to replace a puppet that needed power. What Gu Yunxi wanted was to protect Huang Yanyao for a longer period of time, while what Lu Mu wanted was to severely damage the Xiexin Sect.

In this case, it is acceptable to let King Nanling live a little longer.

"I really want to charge into Nanling Palace right now, and kill him. My sister Yanyao is worried about me every day."

Gu Yunxi hummed. Although she had a lot of thoughts in her mind, her strength did not support her to do so.

She was a little arrogant, but it was a bit disrespectful for her to want to compete with Yuanji Realm when she first entered Pi Palace.

"After all, she is your good sister."

Lu Mu smiled lightly, with an imperceptible tenderness in his warm eyes.

"Yeah, you're a good sister."

Gu Yunxi would feel much better whenever she mentioned her.

Lu Mu had never expected that their relationship was so good. Huang Yanyao had always been alone. Apart from Huang Wumeng's spirit accompanying her, she had no one else she could call "trusted".

She had neither sisters nor a husband, so the "protagonist" easily broke through her tightly closed heart and became the only bright spot.

But now it's different.

Gu Yunxicai is the most dazzling light in Huang Yanyao's world.

And he is nothing now.

Lu Mu couldn’t tell whether having a new sister was a good thing or a bad thing.

The road in front of the two men was cut off at some point. They had walked deep into the Bone Burial Mountain, perhaps at the center of the mountain. Looking up, they saw fluorescence on the dome of the mountain, but the dim light could not illuminate the entire picture. They could only vaguely see that the winding stone road was very empty... and dead silent.

Lu Mu stepped on the edge of the stone path and jumped down. His internal energy helped him land safely on the ground. Gu Yunxi followed him down. The two of them looked at the altar that had been set up in front of them and fell silent.

This altar was made of natural bluestone, which had been artificially cut into desired shapes. Fifteen strange flesh-and-blood trees stood around the altar. They had dense branches and leaves, and well-developed roots, but the trees were made entirely of flesh and blood... The dense branches and leaves were covered with attachments that were not sure whether they were pieces of flesh or tendons, and they were moving like living things.

Each of the fifteen trees of flesh and blood is four to five meters tall. A blood-colored vine extends from the treetops, entangled and condensed just above the altar. A huge blood-red heart hangs below, like a mature fruit, emitting strong and strange fluctuations.

This scene is not so interesting.

The two looked at each other and slowly approached the altar.

When you get closer, you can feel a depressing heaviness coming towards you.
