Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

Her lips are always warm.

The arched hill began to rise and fall in a rhythmic manner.

Beside him, Feng Yan was sleeping soundly.

She still had a lot of fatigue accumulated.

……

In the early morning, when Feng Yaner woke up, she was not in Lu Mu's arms. She opened her eyes, looked to the side, and found that Lu Mu was talking to Yuan Yu at the door.

She stood up, and Lu Mu turned around to look at her. He came over and gently helped her tidy up her messy long hair.

"Where's Xiaoxue?"

"She can't sit still and wakes up very early."

Lu Mu naturally would not tell her about Murong Xue’s unique little trick last night.

After helping Feng Yaner tidy up her dress, they, led by Yuan Yu, left the Holy Phoenix Palace and headed towards an ancient mansion in the south of the city.

"Miss Yuanyu, who's coming today?"

"My father, along with the other six elders, the Great Elder is not here. He is in the Holy Land of the Demon Realm, guarding the ancient coffin of our ancestor."

"Who is the strongest?"

"The Second Elder and the Third Elder are both at the level of the Sea of ​​Fortune. They have huge differences and often disagree with each other."

"Which one of them supports Yan'er?"

"…The Third Elder was the first to propose that His Highness be sacrificed with blood, and then… used to improve the bloodline of the tribe members. The Second Elder opposed this, but his attitude towards His Highness was also a little strange."

Yuanyu had almost nothing to hide.

Even Lu Mu rarely felt that the daughter of the clan leader was so loyal.

"I understand."

It only took them a quarter of an hour to arrive outside the ancient mansion in the south of Qianyuan City. Standing at the door, they could feel the breath coming from inside, which was deep and heavy.

Those who are qualified to sit inside are all demons in the realm of creation.

Chapter 26: Deterrence

Yuan Yu just stood at the gate of the ancient mansion and didn't move forward.

Those who could sit there were all the respected and powerful elders of the Dark Thousand Kite Clan. As a young daughter of the clan leader, she could only lead the way here.

"Let's go in."

Lu Mu held Feng Yaner's wrist tightly and walked in first.

The scene inside the ancient mansion was clear, simple and rustic. The courtyard was filled with a desolate feeling, as if it had existed for a long time. Perhaps Qianyuan City was built with this ancient mansion as its center.

As soon as they stepped into the yard, several gazes were cast towards them.

These gazes were either scrutinizing, sizing up, or showing annoyance, all without any concealment. Lu Mu just let them look at him frankly, but Feng Yan'er didn't like them looking at him like that, so she took the initiative to get closer to Lu Mu, feeling the warm breath on him.

The two walked into the ancestral hall in the ancient mansion. There were only two empty chairs in the hall, which were prepared for him and Feng Yaner.

Lu Mu glanced around and saw that the elders sitting here were mostly men, with only one woman. Those faces were unfamiliar to Lu Mu, but he could still recognize the middle-aged man sitting in the main seat at a glance.

The one who can sit in the most important seat in this old ancestral hall is either a great elder or the clan leader.

However, clan leader Yuan Liang does not seem to have the authority and demeanor of a clan leader.

Yuan Liang seemed to be the oldest among this group of old demons. Lu Mu looked at his face. Although he also looked middle-aged, there was a sense of decadence and desolation between his eyebrows. He was thin and his cheeks were sunken. He was obviously not smiling, but there was always a strange curve at the corners of his mouth. His eyes were dark and empty, as if covered by a layer of mist.

That was a sign of a serious injury with residual symptoms.

"Please take a seat, both of you."

Yuan Liang raised his hand and Lu Mu took a seat, but Feng Yan'er did not sit on the chair prepared for her. Instead, she sat on Lu Mu's legs, with her jade hands around his waist and her slender legs crossed.

She did it on purpose.

All eyes were on them. This group of old demons was indeed calm. Feng Yaner's intimate and dependent behavior only made them twitch their eyelids.

"I guess you are the Holy Phoenix Prince."

Yuanliang's indifferent voice sounded.

He stared at Lu Mu's face without blinking, as if he still doubted Lu Mu's cultivation and age. He looked amazing, but there was also a hidden dissatisfaction.

Lu Mu nodded and said, "I guess you are the clan leader Yuan Liang."

"You are younger than I thought." Yuanliang snorted coldly.

"If I were older, you wouldn't notice any difference."

Lu Mu's expression did not change, except for his words, which showed no sign of weakness. He had already made up his mind, and he had no intention of giving any good face to these people, no matter whether they supported Feng Yan'er or planned to sacrifice Feng Yan'er with blood.

These monsters need a good beating.

Yuanliang choked when he heard this.

He actually knew Lu Mu's background, but that didn't change his mind.

The Southern Region demon tribe has always spoken with strength. The fact that the prince of the Holy Phoenix is ​​a human has already made all of them unhappy. Of course, if this prince is a human who is at least not weaker than the elders of their tribe, then it would be fine. However, Lu Mu has just entered the Source Realm not long ago, and now is still in the process of consolidating his foundation. This...

Of course, Yuan Liang did not deny Lu Mu's talent, and the Southern Territory's demon clan was not isolated from information and inflexible. They certainly recognized the genius of the Lu clan, but no matter how talented he was, he was still young after all.

Being young is considered a disadvantage in the eyes of the demon race.

"You are young and frivolous. It really is young and frivolous."

The elder next to Yuan Liang's left shook his head with disdain.

Lu Mu's gaze shifted to him.

"Who are you?"

"Yuan Qu, the Third Elder."

Yuan Qu just glanced at him casually and then looked away, making no effort to hide his contempt and underestimation for Lu Mu.

"Are you the one who planned to sacrifice Yan'er with blood to help you ascend to the Sainthood and become a phoenix?"

Lu Mu's eyes gradually turned cold, and Feng Yan'er also moved her eyes, looking at Yuan Qu with disgust. No one would look kindly at a guy who wanted to use his flesh and blood as a treasure.

"it's me."

Yuan Qu sneered: "Why, Your Highness, do you disagree?"

Lu Mu noticed her subtle change in mood and patted her back soothingly. Then he turned his head and looked straight at Yuan Qu, "I have other ideas."

"what idea?"

"I will let you die first, and then let all the Dark Ghost Thousand Yuans who have the same idea as you die together. What do you think of my idea?"

He lowered his eyes and gently stroked Feng Yaner's hair. With just one sentence, the tense atmosphere in the ancestral hall was completely ignited!

"Arrogant young man, you are looking for death!"

"Don't be presumptuous!"

"Don't think that just because you come from an ancient clan, you can ignore us!"

Yuan Qu stood up angrily, and at this moment the pressure from the Creation Sea Realm pressed towards Lu Mu without reservation. For a cultivator in the Source Realm, this kind of pressure was completely irresistible.

But Lu Mu has phoenix bones.

And the remaining momentum of Feng Qingluo, even if it was less than one ten-thousandth of her peak strength, was enough to completely disperse Yuan Qu's pressure.

When he injected his true energy into the phoenix bone, the sparks of light that bloomed in the corners of Lu Mu's eyes swept out along with the loud cry of the phoenix, shaking the ancestral hall. Yuan Qu's pressure was strangled into nothingness in an instant, and the third elder was forced to take a step back.

"you!"

The pressure was broken, and Yuan Qu's face looked even uglier.

"This is Qianyuan City! This is not a place where a mere human like you can act so recklessly!"

His voice rolled in like thunder, but Lu Mu was not afraid at all, and even raised a mocking smile on his lips: "Really? Do you think you can stop me if you take action now?"

Yuan Qu did not answer.

Because at this moment, far above the sky, the mind of a powerful being was locked on him.

"If you fail to keep me here, I guarantee you won't survive the night."

"Whoever the Lu clan wants to die must die. There are not only humans but also many monsters who are willing to accept my Lu clan's favor."

These words undoubtedly touched Yuan Qu's heart.

His face turned blue and white.

He is the third elder, holding a high position of power, but now he has to endure the ridicule and humiliation of human juniors!

But Yuan Qu couldn't say that Lu Mu's words were alarmist.

Lu Mu's eyes slowly swept across the faces of the elders. He was neither impatient nor anxious, as if he was sure of victory. "There is one thing you are wrong about. I am not here to be judged by you or to be mad at you."

"I'm here to give you a warning and give you a good beating."

Lu Mu patted Feng Yan'er's thigh, and she stood up, so Lu Mu also stood up, looking at her with a noble and extraordinary look, like a noble king, "Originally, I was planning to take Yan'er away, but she refused. She felt that among you old guys, at least there is someone who supports her."

"But I don't care about that. I only care about her."

"If some of you still don't know what's good for you, I will forcibly take her away. One day, she will return to the Southern Region, but by then..."

"You guys with bad intentions can only kneel at her feet and beg for mercy."

Chapter 27: Besieged on all sides?

Lu Mu sat back in his chair, and Feng Yan'er took the initiative to sit on his lap again, staring straight at Lu Mu's face with a smile on her lips and a raised eyebrow.

The entire ancestral hall was silent.

Everyone's eyes were like those of ferocious beasts, wishing to tear Lu Mu to pieces. Even though their faces were filled with anger, they all held back and swayed in their chairs.

He turned his head to look at Feng Yan'er, their eyes met, and she blinked at him. Lu Mu reached out and touched her head, the corners of her mouth curled up, she giggled, and hugged Lu Mu's neck tightly with her arms, nestling on his chest like a lazy cat.

Seeing Yuan Qu remained silent, Lu Mu's lips curled up even more deeply. He lowered his head to look at the person in his arms, kissed her forehead gently, and said softly: "What? Have you become mute?"

Yuan Qu did not dare to move, because the powerful will in the sky was still locking him tightly. Judging from the other party's furious power, if he moved even a step, the other party would attack!

Although the strongest man was also in the Xuanhai realm and perhaps he was slightly at a disadvantage, Yuan Qu did not dare to let the situation escalate any further. Lu Mu's threat was not groundless. If the Lu clan really wanted to take action against the Anyou Qianyuan clan, they would not be able to stop it.

The clan elder's life span is now only about a hundred years, and he has to continue to sleep. Although he is a saint, there are many saints in the Lu clan. Their strongest ones are strong and live long lives, while the clan elder is just lingering on. No matter how you look at it, he has no advantage.

"Sit down, being so tense is not good for your health."

Lu Mu glanced at Yuan Qu and spoke lightly, with an attitude that seemed like he was dominating the conversation. Yuan Qu gritted his teeth, but finally chose to sit down.

The most powerful being in the sky silently withdrew his thoughts.

"Your Highness, please be careful with your words."

Yuan Liang, the only one who hadn't changed, spoke.

Lu Mu's arrogant words just now angered almost everyone, except for two people who did not take any action. One was the female elder, and the other was the clan leader Yuan Liang.

Lu Mu ignored the female elder, but was surprised by Yuan Liang's calmness and composure.

This clan leader is not the strongest of Anyou Qianyuan. Even among the people sitting in the ancestral hall, Yuanliang's strength is ranked last. If the clan elders were not still alive, the position of clan leader would probably have been lost to him long ago.

But he was not surprised by praise or criticism... Lu Mu felt that he seemed to have some real ability to be the clan leader.

"I, the Dark Thousand Kite Clan, can guarantee that although we have our differences, we have never treated His Majesty the Holy Phoenix unfairly."

This is the truth that even Feng Yaner cannot deny.

Those members of the Phoenix Protection Clan were devoted to her. After all, the largest Phoenix Protection Clan was the clan elder, and even if they did not do it to please Feng Yaner, they had to do it to please the clan elder.

"She came here to seek your sincerity, not your hospitality."

Lu Mu spoke casually, his expression still clear, proud and noble.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze fell on Yuan Qu: "If there wasn't at least one member of this tribe that she cared about, I wouldn't have given Yuan Yu those herbs to extend the life of your great elder."
