Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

The princes, generals and ministers all half-knelt in salute, their loyalty was obvious.

Yes, those who have been steadfastly loyal to the royal family until now must be absolute diehards. However, no matter how diehard a person is, his inner determination will eventually be worn away by the anxiety of reality.

There is no doubt that the reappearance of the old Emperor Izumo is definitely a shot in the arm for these people.

"No need to be polite, my dear ministers, please take a seat."

The old Emperor Izumo waved his sleeves.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone sat down in response.

Ziye looked at Lu Mu, his lips slightly curled, and asked in a low voice with a smile: "Elder Lu, has this solved your confusion now?"

"It seems that the chaos of the Izumo Dynasty is about to end."

Lu Mu answered simply, picked up the cup on the table and took a sip.

That being said, he knew it was not that simple. Ziye's loyal ministers naturally believed without hesitation that although the old Emperor Izumo was about to die, he could still fight. Both the coalition forces outside and the rebels inside would become clowns and their death would be imminent.

Even if someone else came, they would find it hard to doubt anything. After all, this old Emperor Izumo was indeed alive. Even though his blood and energy were a little deficient and his face was haggard, no one dared to say that he was a dead person.

If you really want to try him... the consequences will be something that ordinary people cannot bear.

In this world, only the powerful ones in the ancient realm are qualified to ask the monks in the supreme realm to "prove themselves".

But even without testing it, Lu Mu could tell that there was something fishy going on behind the old emperor's resurrection.

Coupled with the unusual movement of the "machine core", he now had no doubt that the Evil Heart Sect or even the extraterritorial magic machine was involved.

"Everyone, please enjoy your drink first. Although I can walk around now, I still need to rest for a while. For matters both inside and outside the imperial court, please assist my son Ye wholeheartedly. It won't be long before I make those treacherous people pay the price."

After the old emperor gave his orders in a calm and dignified manner, he turned and left.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Everyone shouted in unison, and when the figure was completely blocked by the closed door, the tense atmosphere at the banquet was slightly restrained and filled with noise again.

There was a smile on everyone's face.

Of course, this smile did not come out of thin air and would be transferred. If these people smiled, then the traitors and strong men of the coalition forces outside would naturally become silent.

"If Elder Lu doesn't mind, we can host you for a few more days."

Midnight glanced at him sideways.

"After all, there is still some time before the Immortal Phoenix Dynasty Ceremony begins. If Elder Lu is willing to show me favor, I will definitely not treat him unfairly."

"... Let's talk about it later. We haven't finished the wine yet, have we?"

Lu Mu raised his glass and lowered his eyes to hide the hint of inquiry that flashed across his eyes.

This statement was ambiguous, but Ziye did not need to ask further questions. He just looked away silently, then put his arm around his maid's waist, and left the event surrounded by the guards.

……

Ziye did not return to the bedroom to have sex.

Instead, in the dark corridor of the deep palace, his maid's figure and appearance began to change slowly. She grew from petite and exquisite to enchanting and plump in an instant. The maid's long skirt also silently turned into pieces all over the ground, and was replaced by a thin red skirt like smoke. However, this skirt could not cover anything because it was too transparent.

Coupled with the dim lights on both sides of the corridor, Crown Prince Midnight could be said to have feasted his eyes, but there was no desire in his eyes, only fear.

This woman's name is Ruyin.

Ziye had also heard of her other name.

The "Eclipse Sun Demon Girl" of the Evil Heart Sect.

Ziye had only heard a few fragments about why Ru Yin had this rather unpleasant nickname... and then he felt that his penis was about to wither.

His ambition far outweighed his physical needs.

You can't look at this woman too much, and you definitely can't touch her.

"Oh, I didn't expect that the youngest elder of Shura Palace would come here. I don't know if it was accidental or intentional."

"That guy surnamed Lu has ruined many of our sect's plans. The sect leader really wants to kill him."

Ru Yin's eyes, filled with confusion, looked at Ziye indifferently, and her sharp nails scratched the wall lightly, making a hissing sound.

The sound was like a poisonous snake spitting out its venom.

"He won't be a problem. Besides, you all promised solemnly that you would act in absolute secrecy. No one would be able to discover your whereabouts. If anything goes wrong, it will naturally be your fault."

Ziye glanced at her indifferently and stepped back a few steps without leaving a trace.

"Also, don't attack him, or don't blame me for destroying you and giving you as compensation to the Lu clan and Shura Palace."

"Your Highness is indeed very indifferent and fair in his official duties. I admire you."

Ru Yin seemed to have anticipated Ziye's reaction. She giggled, licked her rosy lips with the tip of her tongue, and then twisted her slender and soft waist to move closer to Ziye.

"Emperor, how about I serve you tonight?"

Ziye raised his eyes grimly and said, "Forget it. I don't want you to swallow my Yang Yuan."

He is not mentally ill, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with this woman who looks mentally ill...except for this cooperation.

"Oh?"

Ru Yin blinked, "I promise not to do that, okay?"

Her body swayed slightly, and she immediately came close to Midnight, bringing with her a gust of fragrant air.

Midnight's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

He was very clear about his own concentration, but at this moment, he still felt a strong throbbing.

"It's enough for you to do your job well. If you don't want to hear something more unpleasant from me, then don't come near me."

Ziye snorted coldly and left.

His back disappeared at the far end of the long corridor in the deep palace. Only when he walked far enough did Ru Yin feel the two gazes that continued to fall on her disappear.

"Tsk, you're pretty stubborn."

Ru Yin curled his lips, and bloodthirsty cruelty flashed in his eyes.

She really didn't dare to act rashly, although if any man dared to talk to her like this, the outcome would definitely be a thousand times more painful than accepting her invitation.

But unfortunately, although the old emperor of the Izumo Dynasty died, there are still two powerful men around the Emperor Ziye in whom he has absolute trust, and both of them have reached the Manifestation Realm.

She, Ruyin, is not sure she can handle a man who is two levels stronger than herself.

So tonight, she had to find a strong guard in the palace to do it with her.

Chapter 34: Ruyin's Actions

The Izumo Empire was already a dilapidated old house.

This is undeniable.

But it is also true that a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

The Izumo royal family lost their only supreme saint. Without the old emperor, his fall was covered up by the royal family as much as possible, but the smell of blood still attracted countless wolves. As long as the strongest deterrent of the dynasty cannot act at will, the wolves will inevitably pounce on him and bite him fiercely.

The outside world still doesn't know that Emperor Izumo is dead, but the Xiexin Sect knows, and they don't want to miss such an opportunity.

However, opportunities are opportunities. Although the Izumo royal family has lost the Supreme Saint, they still have two loyal people in the realm of manifestation, the oldest priest of the royal family, and the imperial teacher.

There is also the Midnight Emperor who can mobilize the power of the country's destiny to bless himself.

In addition, the Izumo royal family has many elite soldiers and generals under their command.

It is also because of this that the "civil strife" within the dynasty is only latent now and has not yet been brought to the surface. Otherwise, if it is really pushed to the point of being a crisis, the result will be very ugly for everyone.

...So, let's keep this delicious and good-looking 'fresh meat', Midnight, for now.

Ru Yin smiled coldly.

Although she didn't think there was any difference between Ziye and the thousands of other men she had tasted, that was just her collecting habit.

There are never too many Eclipse Sun Sirens.

But turning around, Ru Yin thought of the young master of the Lu clan whom he had just met at the event.

I heard that the sect master's disciple Xia Jiuxie had another clone destroyed by him, and the sect master even tried to kill him personally, but this guy called Lu Mu had two big figures who were half a step away from the ancient times behind him.

If you have to choose between Midnight and Lu Mu’s fingertips.

Ruyin will definitely choose Lu Mu.

She felt that such a man was a rare commodity in a thousand years, and if he could not become one of her "trophies", her collection would always be incomplete.

And this guy's visit to the Izumo Empire is probably not just a simple passing through.

He had ruined her plan before, so there couldn’t be any mistakes this time. Otherwise, the “Eclipse Sun Demon Girl” would never be able to return to the Evil Heart Sect.

"Well, my babies, it's time to get out and move around~"

There was a hint of lazy charm in Ru Yin's voice, and in the shadows around her, the breath rose and fell, and several gray and beautiful figures emerged from it. These were the "Yin Lian" that Ru Yin had tied up personally and then trained well.

They can eat men out in different ways.

Whether it is joyful or extremely painful.

"Your Highness, you are threatening the wrong person. I am the Sun-Eroding Demoness. I will never go easy on men."

"My dears, go find me the young master of the Lu clan and eat him~"

"You can eat whatever you want."

"Yes."

They responded, then merged back into the shadows, quickly dispersing, and silence returned to the dimly lit corridor.

Ruyin stood alone under the lamp.

But the light could not hide the darkness in her.

……

Lu Mu left the imperial palace and returned to the "Tianxia" restaurant. In a private room, he saw the three women who were bored.

They all talked about their past.

When he walked in, it was Murong Xue's turn to talk about her past, so the atmosphere in the private room was somewhat heavy. After all, in terms of whose past was more tragic, Murong Xue was undoubtedly "better".

Although Luo Shuangning and Gu Yunxi had heard some of it, it was not so detailed after all.

Lu Mu's walk in made her voice stop abruptly.

"Brother Mu, what's going on?"

Chatting was just an interlude, they were all waiting for Lu Mu to come back.

Luo Shuangning and Gu Yunxi both looked at him eagerly.

Lu Mu's face looked relatively calm, but he couldn't hide the chill between his brows. "I just met the old Emperor Chu Yun at the grand event in the Imperial Palace."

After he finished speaking, silence spread.

Luo Shuangning's hand gripping the hilt of the sword tightened unconsciously, while Murong Xue and Gu Yunxi were immersed in thought.

"You said that the old emperor had died a long time ago, right?"

Gu Yunxi raised her eyes.

"Yeah." Lu Mu responded indifferently.

Gu Yunxi hesitated: "Then what you just saw... could it be a puppet that was resurrected by some evil method?"

"impossible."

Lu Mu said confidently, "Let's not talk about whether this method can revive a Supreme Saint, but there must be something strange that can't be concealed when using a corpse to revive a soul. Not to mention hiding it from me, this method can't be hidden from the other generals of Midnight either."

There are many ways to revive the dead, and this method is certainly not exclusive to evil practitioners.

But "bringing the dead back to life" and "resurrection from the dead" are two completely different concepts.

A dead person is dead; his body disintegrates and his soul dissipates. The body can be reshaped but the soul cannot be regenerated. This is a well-known and inviolable rule of the great Dao. It is the power of Heaven. Only an existence that can rival Heaven can display such a heaven-defying supernatural power.

If this can really be done, it means that one has mastered some kind of power that transcends the rules.
