Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

But in the eyes of the Moonsilver Tribe, the Quetzalcoatl Tribe was too wealthy, so wealthy that it made them jealous.

In the room that Yushan arranged for his in-laws, Bai Shang, the chief of the Yueyin tribe, was staring at the candle on the table with a frown on his face.

He looked older than Yushan. His dark green eyes shone against the dim candlelight, exuding a chill that froze the air around them.

Bai Shang did nothing but sit at the table, seemingly waiting for someone. Just at that moment, there was a knock on the door. His eyes showed some emotion and he said indifferently, "Come in."

The people who walked into the room were Hong Jing and the mysterious man wearing a mask who had never spoken.

Bai Shang stood up, his irritation and impatience hard to conceal between his brows. He was not happy to see these two people, especially when he looked at the mysterious man, his aura gradually became unstable.

Hong Jing didn't say anything. He just found a seat at the table and sat down, pouring himself some tea. It seemed like he wasn't going to say anything.

With the help of the green plants in the house, Lu Mu and Huang Yanyao could see everything clearly.

The mysterious man took off his mask, and then Lu Mu's eyes turned cold, but there was a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Huang Yanyao squeezed Lu Mu's hand even harder. Lu Mu knew without even looking that she must be angry because she also recognized this guy.

After all, she could never forget the face with half of it burned into rotten flesh.

That was Xia Jiuxie from the Xiexin Sect.

And he has always been ranked first on Huang Yanyao's kill list.

Chapter 49: The poisonous hand has arrived

Huang Yanyao's jade fingers moved back and forth in Lu Mu's palm, and their visions were connected. She had not expected that Lu Mu would be able to use the art of communicating with plants and trees. As for whether it was a pleasant surprise or not...

She was planning to remove all the landscaping in the house.

Otherwise, what if he has nothing to do and comes to peek at me?

But what she didn't expect was that the "Twin Demons of Canxia" from the Xiexin Sect also came to the Wuyan Desert.

The heads of the two brothers "The Twin Demons of Late Summer" are very valuable.

There were not many forces that offered a bounty on them, because after all, they were disciples of the leader of the Evil Heart Sect, and no one would dare to put a bounty on their heads without some confidence. However, the Immortal Phoenix Dynasty was definitely the one that offered the most generous price among them. Originally, Lu Mu should have offered the highest price to Xia Jiuyou, and the five Taoist artifacts could only be taken by asking the ancient clan, but that unlucky brother was already dead, killed by Luo Shuangning.

Since it was his own woman who did the deed, the reward certainly didn't need to be that good. When they were having sex at night, Lu Mu let her be on top and satisfied the Snow Sword Fairy's little desire to "ride on the body of the Shura Saint".

"How audacious."

"Instead of hiding in the shadow of King Nanling, you dare to run around everywhere."

There was a hint of cold anger between Huang Yanyao's brows.

She knew that Xia Jiuxie had come to Southern Xinjiang. Gu Yunxi never hid anything from her and reported everything to her in great detail. But when he came back, King Nanling had plenty of places to hide him. His territory was not small at all. He occupied fourteen main cities and governed nearly one-sixth of the Southern Xinjiang of the empire. It was very easy for him to hide an evil cultivator.

"It seems that His Highness the Ninth Prince has an idea."

Lu Mu listened to Huang Yanyao's slightly indignant words, curled his lips and chuckled and asked.

"I'm going to kill him."

Her idea is quite simple.

"I just don't know how strong this guy is... He seems to have some magic weapon on him to block the leakage of his energy. No wonder I didn't recognize him at the banquet. His magic aura is unforgettable."

As someone who had fought Xia Jiuxie face to face, it was impossible for Huang Yanyao not to recognize her former opponent. Cultivators do not often rely on facial features to recognize people, because it is very easy to change one's face into that of another person. The aura of the cultivation technique is the key to identification.

Xia Jiuxie naturally knew that he was wanted by the Xianhuang Dynasty, so he would not be too high-profile. He hid his identity when he came to the Wuyan Desert, and he also had to be a superficial bodyguard for the Prince of Nanling. It was a bit frustrating to say.

"Although you may think I am over-praising you, your cultivation has improved very quickly."

As soon as Lu Mu touched Huang Yanyao's jade hand, he knew her current level of cultivation.

The palace has two floors.

Her cultivation speed was very fast, which was actually expected, because Huang Yanyao possessed the Taotie spirit, which enabled her to continuously draw strength from the fortune of the Xianhuang Dynasty and nourish herself. Apart from her, the only one who could do this was the Xianhuang Emperor, whose cultivation was connected to the fortune of the Xianhuang Dynasty and who shared its honor and disgrace.

Seeing how busy Huang Yanyao is, it seems that she hasn't practiced much. And among the important officials in the imperial dynasty, except for the military generals, most of the civil officials don't have high cultivation levels. They are overwhelmed with affairs, so where do they get so much free time to practice?

They prefer to cultivate their own worshippers and confidants and have them protect them.

It is also because of this that Huang Yanyao appears to be so stunningly beautiful.

"I'm not like you..."

Huang Yanyao murmured.

No one would feel happy if being praised by the Shura Saint for rapid progress, because no one could be faster than him.

"But what I'm more concerned about now is how the Moonsilver Tribe is related to these two guys."

"Keep watching, and you'll know, right?"

"Nonsense... and don't squeeze so tightly, your hands are so cold, but mine have been warmed by the quilt."

……

The candlelight in the room flickered. The room was silent and no one spoke first to break the atmosphere.

Hong Jing was like an outsider, sipping his tea gently, his eyes fixed on the darkness outside the window.

After a long while, Xia Jiuxie finally spoke, his voice sinister, "Patriarch Bai Shang, how is your health?"

"...Don't worry, you won't die."

Bai Shang sat in the main seat, looking at him with cold eyes, "As for you, the Immortal Phoenix Dynasty is not a place for you to come. If the news gets out, the Immortal Phoenix Emperor might come to take your life personally."

"Oh?"

"Isn't that even better? Even a Supreme Saint is willing to personally come and wipe out a small evil cultivator like me. If this gets out, my name, Xia Jiuxie, will be passed down through the ages!"

Xia Jiuxie was not afraid at all, and his smile became more and more weird, as if a raging murderous aura was exploding in his heart, and the words he said were also crazy and indescribable. Bai Shang had no doubt that this guy was indeed a lunatic.

Which cultivator of the Evil Heart Sect is not like this?

"What do you evil cultivators want to do? Why would you, Prince Nanling, be with such a fellow?"

Bai Shang's face looked a little unhappy and he looked at Xia Jiuxie several times.

"Hehehe."

Xia Jiuxie laughed even more wantonly, "Don't ask too much about things that are not your business. As for why I came to you, I, the Xiexin Sect, want to know how you have done with the 'mission' given to you?"

"Task".

Hearing this word, Bai Shang felt a pain in his internal organs. His pale face facing the candlelight made people feel that he was like a withered yellow leaf at sunset, swaying in decay. His eyes flashed with complexity and hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Those tribes that are friendly with my tribe have already been planted with the 'magic poison' you gave them. Most of the tribes that can compete with my tribe are not friendly with me, so they have no chance for the time being."

“…This is something terrible.”

Lu Mu frowned.

It is obvious that the so-called mission of the Evil Heart Sect is not a good thing. The method that the Evil Heart Sect is best at is to implant poisonous insects to control the mind.

It seems that Bai Shang has been in cahoots with the Xiexin Sect for a long time. Although no one knows why the head of the clan became a minion of the Xiexin Sect, he does not seem to be reconciled, but there is no doubt that he is now also an enemy.

Of course Lu Mu had seen the power of the "magic poison".

He remembered clearly how the Xuanjian Shangge in the Northeast Region was destroyed overnight, but the most horrifying thing was that the grand elder of the Xuanjian Shangge, the most powerful one, was from the Xiexin Sect.

He also knew what the person who was infected with the magic poison would become in the end.

The Wuyan Desert had, without anyone noticing, actually long fallen into the clutches of the Evil Heart Sect.

"Well... you've only done this much in forty years. It's hard to say whether the people in my sect will be satisfied. Forget it. I can't expect too much from you. After all, the guys here are just useless people hiding in this vast desert and watching the world from a narrow perspective."

Xia Jiuxie sneered disdainfully.

"Well, isn't this a grand wedding? The Quetzalcoatl tribe doesn't seem to have any defenses against your in-laws, right?"

"You go and plant the magic poison in them. As for the rest, I will handle it."

He patted Bai Shang's shoulder, with an ugly and sinister smile on his disfigured face.

Wherever the Evil Heart Sect goes, there are conspiracies that cause devastation to the people.

Chapter 50: Poisonous Plot

Bai Shang had a cold face. When he glanced at Xia Jiuxie's face that was half burned, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes, but disappeared in an instant.

Of course he doesn't want to.

The evil of the Evil Heart Sect is far beyond what others can imagine, and the evil root he planted when he was young has now grown into a giant tumor that is difficult to remove. Once it erupts, it will be extremely terrifying. He does not want such a disaster to spread to everyone around him.

He is well aware of the way to survive. Since he has chosen a side, there is no way back.

"My Xiexin Sect never does anything for free. My sect elder saved your life just for this day. Do your job well, otherwise..."

Xia Jiuxie's eyes suddenly became icy cold, and a strong murderous aura burst out from his body, instantly enveloping Bai Shang's whole body.

Bai Shang's pupils suddenly shrank, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his throat rolled twice.

It was very strange. Even though this guy's skills were far inferior to his, he still felt fear from the bottom of his heart.

For a moment he even wanted to run away.

"I……"

"You don't need to say more."

Xia Jiuxie interrupted him coldly, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips, "Only if you finish it obediently will you have a chance to survive, otherwise..."

Bai Shang broke out in cold sweat and his stiff body trembled slightly. This time, he finally felt what panic was.

"it is good."

He closed his eyes and agreed. He had no choice but to agree, otherwise, he would be dead. He didn't want to die yet. There were still too many ties and fetters hanging on him. At least the Moonsilver Tribe might still have a future to look forward to. Bai Shang was the backbone of the tribe and he couldn't fall now.

But if collusion with evil cultivators happened within the Xianhuang Empire, it would be tantamount to treason. Once discovered, destruction would be inevitable.

He is now like an ant standing on a line. If he is not careful, he will fall into the hot pot below and there will be no way out.

"very good!"

Xia Jiuxie smiled with satisfaction.

"Here is your medicine." He threw out a pitch-black pill, and then his figure flashed away.

Bai Shang took the pill and swallowed it directly. After a while, Hong Jing could feel the chaotic breath in his body gradually calming down and his breathing became smoother. He slowly opened his eyes and stared at Hong Jing who had not left yet, with a hint of darkness in his eyes.

"Patriarch Bai Shang, I didn't expect you to be with the evil cultivator."

Prince Hong Jing of Nanling smiled tenderly.

Bai Shang pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Well, maybe you have some unspeakable secrets, but I am not interested in them."

Hong Jing slowly stood up, walked to the door with his hands behind his back, and suddenly stopped. When he looked back, greed appeared in his eyes, and this greed came from his desire for beauty.

"I wonder what the prince wants?"

Bai Shang's voice was dull and hoarse, revealing a deep sense of fatigue.

Hong Jing narrowed his eyes and smiled, with a hint of evil in his smile, "The daughter of the Yushan clan leader is a pretty beauty."

"Anyway, there are still three days before the wedding, so I will accept it on behalf of your son."

He made no secret of his interest and desire for Bai Shang's daughter-in-law. In front of Bai Shang, Hong Jing's words were a blatant insult to the Yueyin tribe and a cuckold to the future chief of the Yueyin tribe. Bai Shang clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking, "Prince, this is too insulting."

"Oh?"

Hong Jing raised his eyebrows and said mockingly, "The Moon Silver Tribe, it seems that they don't have the strength to turn against me, right?"

"If our Nanling army attacks us, how long can the Yueyin tribe resist?"

Bai Shang took a deep breath and suppressed the anger surging in his chest, but he could only accept Hong Jing's threat. In terms of cultivation, Bai Shang was even one level higher than Nanling King Hong Zhan, but Nanling King had hundreds of thousands of elite troops under his command, and the power of the military formation was not something the Yueyin tribe could resist.

Hong Jing dared to threaten so fearlessly, and Bai Shang could not refute it, because King Nanling's army once penetrated deep into the Wuyan Desert, and hundreds of tribes were forced to unite to barely stop them.

But nowadays, everyone is pursuing profit, so there will never be such an opportunity again.

"She is just a girl. Your son is handsome and talented, so I think he will not lack wives and concubines. Or, Chief Bai Shang, are you going to turn against my Nanling King lineage for the sake of Chief Yushan's daughter?"

Hong Jing saw Bai Shang's resentment and struggle, but he was not worried about what Bai Shang would do. On the contrary, this only made Hong Jing feel very happy, as if the cold eyes and unhappiness he had suffered at the banquet earlier had disappeared. He smiled, raised his sleeves, turned around and left, leaving a word before leaving.

"Patriarch Bai Shang, please don't do anything stupid."
