Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

Lu Mu chuckled.

"It's suspicious that they don't get paid."

Acknowledging his doubts, Luo Yingyun only looked towards Wanyun City: "We know very well that evil cultivators cannot be trusted, so His Highness Ziye has already instructed us to pay close attention to the Evil Heart Sect to prevent them from using the Emperor's body to do anything evil."

"Besides me, there is another old priest in the royal family named Zihuang. His cultivation is comparable to mine, maybe even a little bit stronger than mine. He is even more distrustful of the Evil Heart Sect, but he also knows that there is no better way now."

Luo Yingyun didn't say it, but Lu Mu knew that the Emperor's priest was at the scene, watching the whole process, including anything the Evil Heart Sect did to the old emperor's body. If there was even the slightest mistake, everyone sent by the Evil Heart Sect would die.

Evil practitioners cannot be trusted.

After all, the Izumo Empire only needs their strength temporarily.

"Young Master Lu, please relax. We are very cautious and we definitely don't want the Evil Heart Sect to gain any benefits for no reason."

Having said this, Luo Yingyun also forced a smile. After all, the people he was entertaining were all rare distinguished guests. As a state teacher, he would certainly feel depressed, but he could only be depressed for a while.

After all, most of the responsibility and burden for the continued existence of the Izumo Dynasty actually fell on him.

Although Crown Prince Ziye is ambitious, confident and decisive enough, he is not that strong after all.

Luo Yingyun actually has somewhere to go.

He is a demon, and his tribe is in the Southern Region. If he stops being the state teacher and returns to the Southern Region, the Thousand Demons Hall will still welcome him.

But he stayed in the Izumo Empire and even planned to go down with the ship. Even he himself could not explain the reasons behind it.

Lu Mu didn't want to ask either.

He stood up, and Murong Xue and Luo Shuangning also stood up with him.

"If the Imperial Master is so confident, I will not say anything more."

Lu Mu has already figured out Luo Yingyun's attitude.

Next, you have to go to Ziye and confess everything directly.

"Oh, by the way, I don't know how the Evil Heart Sect resurrected the Emperor, but it is closely related to the 'Extraterritorial Magical Device'. Something happened in the Southern Region before, the State Master... should also know about it, right?"

A smile appeared on Lu Mu's lips.

Luo Yingyun was slightly startled: "You mean..."

He immediately thought of something.

But Lu Mu had already disappeared outside the courtyard gate.

Chapter 40: Midnight Pressure

Luo Yingyun's eyes were uncertain. He looked into the darkness and sighed.

The "Extraterrestrial Magical Machine" reappears.

He knew about this, not that he had any friendships or connections with the Southern Region. After all, he had been away from the Southern Region for a thousand years, and his own clan had long regarded him as an alien and no longer had any contact with him.

The Izumo Dynasty received a notification from the Xianhuang Dynasty, telling them that the great enemies from outside the realm who caused the Xuantian catastrophe ten thousand years ago were not all dead.

And they don't seem to be giving up.

Ten thousand years have erased nothing.

I have to admire those guys, they are indeed very perseverant, too perseverant.

The extraterrestrial magic machines are indeed a huge threat, and can be said to be more terrifying than anything else. Even the "No. 1 evil in the world" like the Evil Heart Sect is nothing but a dwarf in front of them.

But does the Izumo Empire have other thoughts and care about those threats?

not at all.

They were already unable to protect themselves, and even had to sacrifice the flesh and blood of the royal family to maintain their remaining deterrent power.

Instead of worrying about those monsters that may start destroying the world again at any time, it is better to think about how to get the Izumo Empire out of the imminent predicament.

However, Lu Mu's words actually woke him up.

Judging from the mentality of those crazy people in the Evil Heart Sect, it doesn't seem strange to cooperate with the "Extraterrestrial Magic Machinery" or even surrender to the enemy.

After all, it is understandable that those people make as many sacrifices as possible in pursuit of power, as long as they don't sacrifice themselves. Others will die anyway, and they are very good at gaining power from the dead.

"The Emperor's resurrection actually relied on the power of the 'Extra-dimensional Magical Machine'?"

Luo Yingyun let out a long sigh.

He is lost.

The imperial teacher must not be confused, as there are many things that require his opinions, and he must also be able to give good enough opinions.

Taking one step at a time is not an option.

If the extraterrestrial magic machines are really hiding behind the Evil Heart Sect, then no matter what they do, it is definitely related to their purpose.

The purpose of the monster outside the boundary...

Isn’t it just the end of the world?

Luo Yingyun stood up suddenly.

He wanted to meet the old emperor who had come back to life from the dead.

He had to see with his own eyes whether the Emperor, whom he had served so faithfully for a thousand years, had changed.

……

It was the first time that Gu Yunxi felt that Lu Mu’s identity was really useful.

She came to the Wanyun Imperial Palace, showed the token he gave her, and was then respectfully invited in.

The one who received her was the Crown Prince of Midnight.

However, the crown prince was interested in her identity first.

"In the Central Region, news always spreads fast. I heard that the bounty offered by the Immortal Phoenix Dynasty for the 'Summer Twin Devils' was accepted by a casual cultivator of unknown origin. It was quite a sensation at the time."

In the Imperial Palace's Wanhua Garden, Crown Prince Midnight sat between the pavilions and waterside terraces, looking at Gu Yunxi with a concerned look.

"It's just killing an evil cultivator, it's not worth mentioning."

Gu Yunxi gave a rather unfamiliar answer. Since she was not sure how much good and how much bad this Prince Midnight was, she simply kept some distance.

"Your words will make many people in the world lose face."

The main reason why he received this famous "Life-Chasing Lady" was actually because he was interested in her.

As for the Shura Palace token, it is secondary.

But it is not difficult to imagine that Lu Mu has a deep hatred for the Xiexin Sect, and this Gu Houye also killed people from the Xiexin Sect and rose to prominence, becoming the new "noble family" of the Xianhuang Empire, although now she is the only one...

It is not difficult to guess that the two have a close relationship.

Gu Yunxi did not deny it... No one would deny having a good relationship with the young master of the Lu family.

This is an advantage after all.

She likes every advantage.

When Ziye mentioned the past, her response was very indifferent. She was not here to talk about the past with him, so she was very direct: "The Eclipse Sun Demon Girl, just now she sent someone to attack and kill Young Master Lu."

The crown prince's expression changed immediately.

Of course, it wasn't just his facial expression that changed. Gu Yunxi knew that Ziye must have been cursing that bitch in his heart.

But it didn't seem unpredictable that the elders of the Xiexin Sect would turn a deaf ear to his words.

They have committed many evil things, all of which are against the harmony of nature. They don't even care about the forces behind Lu Mu. Why should they care about the authority of a declining dynasty?

Gu Yunxi waited calmly for Ziye to speak.

She knew that her words would definitely make him think about it.

Even if we don't consider the danger of courting disaster, we still have to consider Lu Mu's identity and the giant standing behind him.

Anyway, she came here with Lu Mu's token, so why not put some pressure on the crown prince?

half an hour.

"You came to see me just to tell me this?"

He tried his best to hide the dissatisfaction in his eyes - dissatisfaction with Ru Yin, and the sudden murderous intent.

"This is pretty serious, isn't it?"

"He is the pride of the Lu family, and he is very precious."

Gu Yunxi glanced towards the two sides of the pavilion. The garden was filled with a fragrance that made people feel comfortable, but she had a premonition that this garden would not be able to escape the fate of being ravaged.

Ziye narrowed his eyes: "Master Lu, do you want me to be held accountable?"

"No, I'm not that idle. He went to see your Imperial Master, so I came to see you and see how you feel about the Evil Heart Sect..."

She waved her hand casually and petals flew into her hand. She didn't look at Ziye much, as if all her attention was on the flowers.

"What if my reaction is not what you like?"

Midnight's tone dropped.

Gu Yunxi raised her eyes and said, "Then we should just leave. Anyone who tries to use the Evil Heart Sect will end up with the same fate."

At that moment, Ziye's eyes suddenly became sharp and gloomy.

He felt insulted.

Because the Life-Chasing Lady in front of him seemed to be examining him and the entire future of the Izumo Dynasty, as well as the fate of the entire dynasty. She was looking down on him with the attitude of a superior, and thinking about whether the Izumo Dynasty was worth saving.

If they think that the Izumo Dynasty is beyond salvation, then this huge behemoth that has stood in the Central Region for nearly ten thousand years will collapse and disappear overnight.

No one else can save you.

The Izumo Empire was also unable to save itself.

When has Midnight ever felt this way?

Even when he took on heavy responsibilities in times of crisis, he had never felt such frustration.

However, the woman in front of him, who was shorter than him and had a slightly thinner figure, made Zi Ye feel a kind of fear that the empire was about to collapse irreversibly.

“…I have no choice.”

A heavy pressure that she had never felt before suddenly appeared, but this pressure was not directed at her. Instead, it made the back of the Crown Prince, who treated her politely and with great authority, hunch over.

Somehow, Gu Yunxi suddenly felt a little pity for him.

Chapter 41: Despair overwhelmed him

The Garden of Ten Thousand Flowers fell into silence. Gu Yunxi didn't plan to ask any more questions, and Ziye didn't plan to say anything more.

It was not until the servants came to report that the truly important "guest" had stepped into the Wanyun Imperial Palace and was heading towards the Wanhua Garden. Not long after, Lu Mu arrived here.

Murong Xue and Luo Shuangning followed him.

"Your Highness Midnight."

Lu Mu bowed and saluted.

Luo Shuangning and Murong Xue also followed him in paying their respects. They still stood on Lu Mu's left and right, staring at Ziye. Their expressions couldn't be said to be particularly indifferent, but they did show some vigilance.

"Young Master Lu, there is no need to bow. After all, I don't have any authority, right?"

Crown Prince Ziye smiled and nodded, but it was not easy to maintain a fake smile, especially with Gu Yunxi's arrival, which made him feel quite bad.

"Your Highness Ziye, let's not hide anything from each other."

Lu Mu didn't say anything more and asked directly, "Who are the people from the Xiexin Sect?"

He had already found out what Luo Yingyun was trying to say. Since the demon clan's national master would definitely take action, it would not be difficult to get Ziye to speak.

"Young Master Lu, the imperial dynasty is now in danger. The Xiexin Sect has a deep hatred for you and is considered the most evil by the people of the world. I know this, but I cannot allow you to destroy the only hope for the survival of the imperial dynasty."

But Ziye didn't intend to speak.

He had originally intended to turn against them afterwards. As long as the old emperor was confirmed to be able to be fully resurrected, there would be no need for the Xiexin Sect to continue to exist.
