Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

So when Lu Mu and Murong Xue entered the city, they were immediately noticed. The demon race has demon pills, so it is very easy to distinguish them by their aura. The two of them, on the other hand, were considered "aliens", but they only attracted some unfriendly looks.

"Don't worry about those guys, let's go into the city first."

Lu Mu rubbed Murong Xue’s long hair.

"it is good."

Murong Xue nodded obediently.

The two men walked into Huangqiu City. The layout of the city was unlike cities in other regions. They were faced with a considerable degree of chaos. The streets were wide and quite noisy. Some monsters had not even completely transformed into human form, and their heads and bodies retained many monster features. Just after entering the city and before they had walked half a street, they saw two monsters fighting after some unknown conflict.

One of the demons had a tiger head and a human body, while the other had a face covered with green snake scales. The two were fighting fiercely, with a mixed aura of ferocious evil. The onlookers did not retreat, but only commented on the confrontation.

Lu Mu frowned and pulled Murong Xue away.

This battle was meaningless, because the two demons didn't even have the strength of the Palace Realm. In his eyes, they were just a pair of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick. Stopping for them would be a disrespect to his own cultivation level of the Origin Realm.

But Lu Mu knew clearly who would win.

He recognized which tribe the creature with the face full of snake scales came from... the Bamboo Green Snake Tribe. They had weak bodies but a mouth full of bone-dissolving poison.

The tiger-headed demon had a cold and fishy breath, and the poison had entered its body.

Murong Xue was not interested in watching these people fight, but she couldn't help but say, "No wonder the South Region is so badly spoken of by others."

"This is just a small city on the edge of the wilderness. Even if this city is wiped out, it won't cause any waves... Besides, the power that controls this city is very powerful. They have more important things to manage. This place... hehe, it's nothing to mention."

Lu Mu smiled.

"Oh?" Murong Xue was puzzled. "Which force?"

"Remember those guards from different tribes when we entered the city before?"

"remember."

"In the Southern Region, there is only one force that can make the demon tribes of the Thousand Wind Falcon Tribe, the Red Flame Leopard Tribe, and the Green Hill Fox Tribe obey together, and that is the Thousand Demon Palace. This Desolate Hill City belongs to them."

Murong Xue raised her eyebrows imperceptibly.

She had never been to the Southern Region, but she knew the reputation of the Thousand Demons Palace. This huge force that flourished in the Southern Region after the Xuantian Catastrophe was actually a bit unique.

It is said to be unique because the Thousand Demon Hall is a mixed bag, with hundreds of demon tribes obeying its orders obediently. Most of the demon tribes in the Southern Territory have basically selected an elder to serve as a guest official in the Thousand Demon Hall, responsible for handling conflicts and fights between tribes. It sounds like he is acting as a mediator.

But it would be impossible to help the Southern Territory demon tribe, who are known for their brutality, to mediate the conflict without some confidence.

The prestige of that hall master was very high, and the Thousand Demon Hall itself had a very strong foundation. It was also because of the Thousand Demon Hall that after the Xuantian catastrophe, the demon clan quickly seized half of the southern region.

If the weak demon tribe wants to survive in the Southern Region, they can only submit to the Thousand Demon Hall in order to seek shelter.

Some of the great demon clans whose ancestors were powerful were willing to give them face, while others were not...but the reputation of the Thousand Demon Hall was still quite good among the demon clans in the Southern Territory.

Of course, the human forces in the Southern Region basically hate the Thousand Demons Palace to the core.

"It seems like we have entered the territory of the local tyrant in the Southern Region."

Murong Xue hugged Lu Mu's arm, and her words were full of sarcasm and coldness.

The Thousand Demons Hall is famous, but that’s all. It can’t scare her. Who told her that the man next to her who likes to smear white liquid on her face is even more powerful?

"Haha, there is one more thing, which is also very interesting."

Lu Mu stroked her hair. "The Dark Thousand Kite Clan doesn't have a good relationship with the Thousand Demon Palace. There have been some serious conflicts between the two sides, but of course they were all resolved in the end."

"Brother Mu's meaning...can't it be..."

Murong Xue also thought quickly.

“Perhaps, the Thousand Demons Palace wants to take action against Feng Yan’er.”

He was not a person who thought too much, but the timing when Feng Yaner wrote to him for help was actually very subtle.

Now, the great clan elder should have extended his lifespan for another hundred years, so the "Anti-Phoenix Faction" within the Dark Thousand Kite Clan should also be quiet. Moreover, the strength and foundation of this clan are considered to be top-notch in the Southern Region, and they are basically evenly matched with one exception... That is to unite a large number of demon tribes to attack the Dark Thousand Kite Clan that is sheltering Feng Yan'er.

If you want the demon tribe to unite, interests alone are not enough.

The demon race is very particular about blood affinity and rejection. The relationship between some tribes can even be described as "natural enemies", and the only thing that can make them unite...

There is only the Thousand Demons Hall.

Extra (Lu Mu*Murong Xue)

For Murong Xue, it was no longer easy to predict what would happen tonight.

But it made no difference to her, because no matter what the end was, she would definitely be unconscious, just like when they had been making love in bed before, but he was particularly rough tonight. Murong Xue had never seen him like this before, and maybe she was a little scared... but more of it was anticipation.

She is invincible.

……

Lu Mu*Murong Xue's unique extra story.

Chapter 15: Get the news

Speaking of which, the final outcome of this Thousand Demon Hall was actually quite bad.

This was because Feng Yan'er was a princess who wanted to become the Great Demon Lord again and restore the glory of the Nine-Feathered Holy Phoenix clan. After the death of the original Grand Master of the Thousand Demon Hall, the new successor was quite radical. As a result, the relationship between the two sides deteriorated rapidly, until finally the Thousand Demon Hall collapsed completely. Feng Yan'er then stepped on the corpse of this huge force, absorbing the glory and fame that belonged to her at will.

If the Thousand Demons Hall were to start planning to take action against Feng Yan'er right now, or even to wipe out the entire Dark Thousand Kite clan from the barren and dangerous land of the Southern Region... then this would definitely not be a problem that Feng Yan'er could afford right now.

But if that's the case, it would make sense to ask him to help.

Otherwise, it's impossible that she would call him all the way to the Southern Region just to send him a letter just to have an extra human pillow to rely on when sleeping, right?

Lu Mu shook his head. Since he was already here, he should do his duty conscientiously. After all, the letter had already addressed him as "my prince". How could Lu Mu not come?

Although the title of "Prince of the Holy Phoenix" is of no use to him, it is worth it to hear Feng Yan'er call him that.

"Let's go."

He patted Murong Xue's smooth and delicate waist and spoke softly.

After walking a few streets, the environment here looks much better. There are no young men fighting in the streets, and there seem to be many more shops. Of course, most of the shops here sell the corpses of spirit beasts. Along the way, Lu Mu also listened to the conversations of many passers-by and knew that Huangqiu City is located on the edge of the "Wanhuang Plain", and in addition to wasteland, there are extremely ferocious spirit beasts in the plain.

As the saying goes, the local environment and climate determine the local animals.

The poor mountains and bad waters cannot support so many spiritual beasts, so they can only feed on each other. The one that eats the most will live the longest and be the strongest.

So they are all quite dangerous.

However, Lu Mu had no plan to go there. The Wanhuang Plain was not a good place. The reason why this place appeared was because during the Xuantian catastrophe, four ancient-level cultivators died in the center of the wasteland, causing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to become disordered and has not been able to recover to this day.

When people die, they leave behind harm.

Is it good or bad?

Nobody cares.

Lu Mu took Murong Xue into a teahouse, ordered a pot of hot tea, and sat by the window.

His spiritual sense had covered the entire teahouse, including the number of people in the back hall and the strength of the monsters in the main hall. There were eighteen monsters, two of whom were at the first level of Pi Palace, and the rest were useless.

Lu Mu's eyes were fixed on Murong Xue, but what he heard was the conversation among other monsters in the teahouse.

"Have you received any news about the 'Holy Phoenix Tomb Realm'?"

"There are only a few. The Thousand Demons Hall has released a message, saying that it is inviting all the major demon tribes in the southern region to explore the territory together. Hey, those humans must want to get involved. I think the Holy Phoenix Tomb Realm is probably used by the Thousand Demons Hall to lure out the snakes."

"How to say?"

"If those damned humans knew this news, they would definitely intervene. The relationship between the Thousand Demon Palace and them has always been bad. Isn't this a good opportunity to lure out some of those powerful humans and kill them?"

"And that 'Holy Phoenix Princess', how could she sit by and watch the Thousand Demons Hall mess up her people's tomb? The Thousand Demons Hall has always wanted to invite that princess as a 'guest of honor'. Humph, I think this guest of honor is fake, and she is really a prisoner."

Lu Mu silently turned his head and looked towards the table where the conversation was taking place.

Of course Murong Xue also heard it, and a hint of coldness flashed across her red eyes, but she did not move. She just played with the teacup and fiddled with her nails casually, looking very leisurely.

Her eyes glanced elsewhere, at the corner of the teahouse.

"How is the guy who ran into the wasteland now?"

"What else can we do? Dark Thousand Kite and Blue Sky Eagle are mortal enemies. If they meet, they will fight to the death. However, this time the Blue Sky Eagle tribe is large in number and strong in strength. That guy is alone and did not stay in their own territory. He wanted to run away and lose his life."

"What do the grudges among these clans have to do with us?"

"that is……"

Murong Xue and Lu Mu looked at each other, and he nodded, so they both stood up and walked towards the table in the corner.

When they got closer, the two demons who were drinking looked over at the same time and found that they were two humans. Their expressions immediately turned ugly, especially the one with wolf-like eyes. He sneered and raised his chin: "Humans?"

"good."

Lu Mu smiled.

"What are you going to do?" He narrowed his eyes and spoke in a low tone, as if he had an inexplicable sense of superiority.

Murong Xueliu frowned slightly: "Just now you mentioned that a member of the Dark Thousand Kite Clan was being hunted and fled into the Wanhuang Plains?"

"...You little human girl, eavesdropping on the conversations of the demons?!"

The wolf-eyed demon became furious and stood up suddenly.

Murong Xue looked at him coldly: "You are so irritable, be quiet."

"..."

The wolf-eyed demons were suddenly speechless.

The reason for being speechless was that Murong Xue's mere staring at him made him feel weak all over and he couldn't even use his strength.

Just one look and his body no longer belonged to him.

The commotion here had long attracted the attention of other demon guests in the teahouse. When they discovered there were two young humans here, the atmosphere suddenly became much more tense. However, they had just begun to make a move when their blood and strength were already out of control, even the two demons in the Pigong realm were the same.

"If I want to make your blood and qi go out of control and explode and die, it's very easy, but I don't want to dirty my new dress, so why don't you answer my question honestly? Hmm?"

Murong Xue was wearing a new dress today, which was bought for her by Lu Mu at the Lu family’s territory that day. It was a pale blue-white color that matched her long snow-white hair very well, and made her blood-red eyes particularly eye-catching. But it was best not to get blood on it, otherwise it would ruin the elegant look.

To the wolf-eyed demon, her gaze was like a murderous demon eye. He trembled, slumped in his seat, and said with trembling lips: "You, what do you want to know..."

"How long ago did that happen?"

"Four days ago..."

"How many demons are chasing after that Dark Thousand Kite?"

"There are about thirteen..." The wolf-eyed demon said with difficulty, "Four days ago, in the north of Huangqiu City, the two sides met and fought. Six people from the Dark Thousand Kite died, and eight people from the Blue Sky Eagle Clan died. But a fourth-level Pigong cultivator from the Blue Sky Eagle Clan came later, and brought other clan members with him, so the surviving Dark Thousand Kite has already fled into the wilderness..."

The fourth floor of the Pi Palace... Lu Mu glanced at Murong Xue and smiled.

Isn't this just a casual treatment?

Chapter 16: Deep into the Wilderness

The wolf-eyed demon didn't know why he was so unlucky today.

The demon forces around the Wanhuang Plain are quite powerful, and have never been friendly to humans. It is normal to drive them away when you meet them, and some of the more ruthless ones are simply killed. In addition, the wilderness is inherently dangerous, and basically no humans will come here. But today, he encountered one.

And they are very strong.

Although he couldn't see through Murong Xue's cultivation level, just a glance from her was enough to make his entire body feel as if bones and tendons were broken, and the same was true for all the monsters in the teahouse. It was obvious that this was someone he couldn't afford to offend.

Fortunately, these two humans had nothing to do with him and they had no enmity with him, so since they were just asking questions, he just answered honestly.

"From which direction did you escape into the wilderness?"

Lu Mu asked.

"South of the city." The wolf-eyed demon took a breath, calmed his extremely frightened heartbeat, and continued, "That's all I know. You two, I don't think you are from the Southern Region. I'm kindly telling you that it's better for humans to not interfere in the affairs of the Southern Region demons, otherwise it will easily lead to a massacre among the other tribes."

"You don't have to worry about it anymore."
