Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

But from now on, the situation will naturally be different.

Lu Mu still controls the "future".

And this is still his most powerful and absolute advantage that no one can match!

He looked at Gu Yunxi.

"It's been a while since I last saw you. I'm amazed at how quickly you've gotten stronger, Lord Zhui Ming."

Lu Mu did not forget that the girl in front of him was no longer the lonely cultivator who wandered aimlessly around the world, but a real "Life-Chasing Female Marquis" of the Xianhuang Empire, with a fiefdom and salary.

He is considered a very powerful person.

"Don't call me that."

Gu Yunxi turned away silently.

She did spend a week as a marquis.

She had her own city, a salary, hundreds of maids in her huge mansion, and a group of officials who reported to her every day...

Then Gu Yunxi immediately became annoyed.

Such days are too peaceful and don't cause any waves. She has come to this day alone and has experienced dangers one more difficult than the other. How can she get used to such mediocre days?

Of course, it is still very comfortable to be served by others.

Who doesn’t like a useless person who has everything handed to him?

Especially when taking a bath, there are always beautiful little maids beside you to add hot water, fragrant flower petals and bath salts.

However, Gu Yunxi still planned to continue her training. As for her city and offerings... she had already handed them over to Huang Yanyao.

Good sisters, regardless of each other.

What's hers is hers.

"The 'Mechanical Core' just now, do those evil cultivators want to take it away?"

Murong Xue coughed, disturbing the atmosphere between Lu Mu and Gu Yunxi, which was slightly tense.

"Yes, although I don't know what method they are going to use, but you also saw the situation of this monster just now. It was completely motionless, as if it was controlled... If they continue, the mechanical core will undoubtedly be taken away."

Lu Mu knocked on his space spirit ring.

"But it's here with us now."

Luo Shuangning's expression was equally solemn. She put away her sword and watched the extremely evil aura gradually dissipate. Perhaps it would only take a month or two to completely dissipate.

"Why does the Evil Heart Sect want this?"

Just now, Lu Mu revealed the secret of these evil cultivators from the Blood-Eating Sect - they were invited by the Evil Heart Sect to take away the weapon core.

As for what this thing itself is useful for...

These guys probably know nothing.

"It doesn't matter what the Evil Heart Sect wants to do, as long as we don't let them succeed."

Lu Mu was too lazy to think about what bigger conspiracy was behind this. No matter what the conspiracy was, as long as he strangled it to death in the cradle, that would be enough.

This is the time when his advantage of having a detailed knowledge of the "future" comes into play.

Gu Yunxi pursed her lips: "I thought so too."

"The key point is that the Evil Heart Sect also seems to be forming an alliance."

Lu Mu said: "It seems that we have to go and get some information."

Chapter 14: Planning

The so-called gathering of intelligence.

In fact, it's just about going to the evil sect of Blood-Eating Sect, giving them a good beating, and getting the information out of them.

Since you want to know what the evil cultivator is up to, why not just go over and ask him?

The spirit ship sped above the floating clouds. Inside the cabin, Lu Mu set up a grill and displayed his barbecue skills which he had not used for a long time. The meat came from Gu Yunxi. Although this female marquis was already a new and powerful person, her habits were still the same as before.

For example, he would carry a bunch of meat in his space ring, and occasionally use his Taoist power to roast it and eat it.

The taste is naturally bad.

Then Lu Mu naturally took on the task of making delicious food for everyone.

"The headquarters of the Blood-Erosion Sect is located at the junction of three dynasties in the northwest border of the Central Region. There is fog all year round there. The headquarters of the Blood-Erosion Sect is hidden in it, relying on some kind of chain formation."

Luo Shuangning spread out a large map of the Central Region and pointed her jade finger at an unmarked place in the northwest of the map.

A good place for evil cultivators to hide.

There is never a shortage of wars in the Central Region, nor is there a shortage of chaotic places with no rules or control. And no matter what is left after a war, evil cultivators can always find a way to use it.

So everyone dislikes evil practitioners.

Those guys created chaos just for the sake of seeing chaos.

Among them, the Xiexin Sect is probably the most outstanding and purest "best".

But the Blood-Eating Sect obviously cannot be ranked on the same level as the Evil Heart Sect, whether in terms of the degree of evil or the strength.

"What conflicts have you had with them before?"

Gu Yunxi took off her shoes and socks very gracefully, sat on the soft chair, pulled the hem of her skirt to her knees, then shook her calves and feet, and occasionally took a string of grilled chicken wings from the grill.

She was able to blend into this atmosphere very quickly.

After all, they had worked together once before. Apart from Luo Shuangning's cold eyes and brows, which gave people a chilling aura, Gu Yunxi did not feel uncomfortable.

This spiritual ship exudes a nobleness that is visible to the naked eye.

It is a good thing that I cannot enjoy normally.

"That was many years ago..."

Luo Shuangning recalled the past. What happened a few years ago was actually not that long ago, but she was obviously very impressed.

"At the time, I was traveling in the Qiushi Dynasty and happened to come across a town where many children had been lost. The officials of the Qiushi Dynasty did not care about the matter at all, so I went to investigate in person."

"It was discovered that he was the only son of a high-ranking member of the Blood-Eating Sect, and he was planning to use these people as a living sacrifice so that he could 'nourish his soul'..."

The flesh and blood of children can sometimes have miraculous effects.

At least for evil cultivators, the mortal body is not completely useless.

However, this is also what makes it horrible and disgusting.

"...Anyway, I killed him in the end, which also aroused the hatred of the high-ranking member of the Blood-Eating Sect, who hunted me for three or four days."

There was no sadness or indignation in Luo Shuangning's indifferent tone, as if she was talking about something very ordinary.

Gu Yunxi raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, and couldn't help but sigh: "Where is the guy who was chasing you?"

"Killed by the law enforcement elder of Wanjian Qianshan."

The past events were actually quite dull.

Perhaps in order to avoid Wanjian Qianshan's hunt, all members of the Blood-Eating Sect may have moved to another place.

Luo Shuangning cannot be touched.

At least for the Blood-Eating Sect, an evil force of moderate size, it would be wise to stay away from her.

"How strong is the Blood-Erosion Sect now?"

Murong Xue looked at Gu Yunxi.

Since they were going to attack them, they had to first know the strength of the other party's strongest man. It was not difficult to find the headquarters, even if there was the cover of the formation. After all, Lu Mu had a lot of treasures in his hands, so he naturally had no shortage of things to break the formation.

But they didn't have this most basic information.

Because the Blood-Eating Sect is really not worthy of attention.

They don't need to pay attention.

"Well, let me see..."

Gu Yunxi touched the ring on her hand, then took out a scroll of bamboo slips. She injected Taoist power into it, and the bamboo slips automatically flew up and opened, revealing lines of golden words.

"This is?"

Murong Xue raised her eyebrows.

"The Record of Evils is a magic weapon that has been gathering dust in the Immortal Phoenix Dynasty's treasury. It records the evil forces with some reputation and background in the world."

Gu Yunxi had made great contributions in quelling the unrest in the southern region of Xianhuang, and the Xianhuang Emperor was generous in rewarding her. In addition to the title of Marquis Zhuiming, she was also given the opportunity to obtain two treasures from the Xianhuang Treasury.

However, Lu Mu didn't expect that she would choose something that seemed so useless.

After all, this thing is really ordinary.

After all, any evil forces in the world that pose a particularly great threat have already been targeted for a long time, and detailed information is not lacking. This Record of All Evils, although it is said to be a magic weapon, is more like some kind of useless collection.

"Yes, I have it. The strongest person in the Blood Erosion Sect is the sect leader Mo Lan, who has just completed the Fate Wheel Realm... Well, he doesn't seem that easy to deal with."

Gu Yunxi flipped through the bamboo slips in her hand, muttering to herself, then looked up at Lu Mu.

There are monks in the realm of creation.

Although he was only at the initial stage of the Fate Wheel Realm, after entering the "Fifth Realm of Creation", his control over power had completely entered a new level. Although the four people present could all say that they were "invincible under Creation", if they really had to clash with the guy after Creation...

The outcome is unclear.

But it would definitely be exciting!

"...An evil cultivator from the Fate Wheel Realm. I've never dealt with such a fellow before."

Lu Mu just glanced at the words and continued to flip the skewers on the grill.

"Killing him might give us a sense of accomplishment."

"You are so arrogant, aren't you?"

Gu Yunxi responded with a smile and put away the Record of Evils.

Lu Mu placed all the grilled skewers on the table.

"I didn't say we have to attack head-on. The Blood-Erosion Sect has a sect leader at the Fate Wheel Realm, and they have been able to hide at the junction of the Three Dynasties for so long. I don't believe that they are easy to deal with."

He picked up a skewer of beef and ate it.

Although the Blood-Eating Sect seemed to be unknown, the Evil Heart Sect came to them and asked them to help with something. Lu Mu never thought from the beginning that he could treat the Blood-Eating Sect as a stink bug.

Or maybe it was because the Blood-Eating Sect was challenging that he decided to join on a whim.

"So what are you going to do, Brother Mu? This place is not too far from Wanjian Qianshan. I can ask Master to send the law enforcement elders over."

Luo Shuangning frowned and thought seriously.

"We don't need anyone else to mobilize troops for us."

Hearing this, Lu Mu raised his lips and said, "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements for this matter."

"If you're playing tricks on me, there must be something dirty in your heart, right?"

Gu Yunxi narrowed her eyes and stared at him closely, still eating the chicken wings.

"That's it."

"After all, no one said that we can't use evil cultivators' methods to deal with evil cultivators."

Lu Mu slowly finished the barbecue in his hand.

Chapter 15: You have so many secrets

"Mmm - much tastier than what I make myself."

After Gu Yunxi had eaten and drunk her fill, she lazily slumped back in her chair, a look of satisfaction on her face.

It's not that she was really full, but her taste buds were fully satisfied and refreshed. Perhaps after leaving the Southern Region, without her servants who knew how to cook delicacies from land and sea, Gu Yunxi's taste buds would naturally return to their previous life of hardship.
