When Jiang Mo asked this question, Xuan Ling simply shook her head:

"The princess was killed in the past, and I am merely a manifestation of her obsession."

"As for the murderers, they are nothing more than his brothers and uncles. The current Primordial Sun Phoenix is ​​mostly their direct descendant. I'm being lenient by not taking action. As for saving them? I don't have the time for that."

"You don't need to worry about me getting in your way."

"good........"

Jiang Mo pondered for a moment, then told it the reason for the war between the extraterrestrial humans and demons, as well as his predicament of being besieged once he left Tianyuan.

Xuanling's expression subtly changed, and its original plan began to waver. If it were to follow, it would likely face danger.

"However, you don't need to worry. As long as you want, I can still escort you out and guarantee your safety for a short period of time. However, I will not go to the ruins left by your father. You will have to pass the test inside on your own."

"Let's end our cooperation here."

"Let me think about it," Xuanling said hesitantly, losing all interest in fishing.

The news came too suddenly. It did not expect to be able to leave Tianyuan so quickly, but problems also arose. Jiang Mo was about to be hunted down by the human race’s high-ranking officials and the eight great lineages. If it continued to follow him, it was afraid that it would be in grave danger.

Moreover, Jiang Mo had made it very clear to it that at the very least, seven or eight Supreme Dao Lords and Nine Palaces Sovereigns would come to besiege it...

"You're barely able to take care of yourself, so how can you promise to protect me after we go beyond the realm?" Xuanling asked, puzzled.

“They want my innate magic weapon. I am still its master. If they try to take it by force, I will just self-destruct and no one will get it. As for you, they don’t care. I also have the right to negotiate.”

That's all I have to say. Believe it or not, come or not, it's all up to you.

Jiang Mo smiled slightly. He had tried his best to persuade Xuanling, and would not force it to choose. It was its freedom to stay or follow.

Why did you do this? There must be a reason, right?

"For you, or for myself?"

Jiang Mo followed up with a question, while also noticing the hesitation and unease deep in its eyes.

"For me, is it worth sacrificing your own interests to blackmail them? For yourself, why leave? Wouldn't it be better to live forever in this world?"

Xuanling was very suspicious of Jiang Mo's motives for doing all this. What was his purpose?

"To you, it's to repay the kindness of the Divine Forging Sect. I have a good relationship with them. Their origin, heritage, and glory are all inextricably linked to you. In a sense, they have been fortunate to receive your care over the past thousands of years. After all, the secret realm that your previous incarnation transformed into after your death has influenced their generations. For this alone, helping you once is nothing."

"As for myself, I have no choice. First, I want to see a wider world beyond the realm. Second, I never sit idly by and wait for death. Once the war outside the realm ends, no matter who wins or loses, Tianyuan will sooner or later become their prey. I must go out and find a glimmer of hope."

After saying this, Jiang Mo fell silent. He looked up at the sky, admiring the stunning scenery, and felt quite pleased.

"........"

Xuanling also fell silent. It had only two choices: either go out now, which was risky, or leave secretly in the future when the boundary wall dissipated, but that would mean even more uncertainties.

Moreover, due to the completely opposite nature of the spiritual energy in Tianyuan, it is undoubtedly a barren prison for a creature that grew up outside the realm, where it must constantly endure the torment of coldness, as if it were in the underworld.

If it has to stay for hundreds of years, how can it endure it?

In an instant, countless thoughts surfaced in Xuanling's mind, flashing through it one by one. Soon, it made its choice, turning its head to look at Jiang Mo beside it, and said:

"Then I'll trouble you to give me a ride."

“I will remember this favor. If I ever get out of this ruin, I will never abandon you.”

Based on its words, it was clear that it was certain Jiang Mo could not escape the siege of those Dao Lords and Sovereigns.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mo couldn't help but chuckle, a clear smile playing on his lips.

"We'll see. Don't worry about it. Come find me at Sanyi Gate on June 12th. Use the rest of the time to prepare."

"Um... Take care, and don't bother seeing me out."

After the conversation ended, Jiang Mo did not linger. His figure gradually became transparent and disappeared. He returned directly to his sect, enjoying the rare tranquility before his ascension in the few days he had left.

...........

Beyond the realm, in the forbidden grounds of the Sunset Royal Court's capital, the Sunset Demon Emperor gazed thoughtfully at the piercing Emperor's Eye and the Mountain and River Ten Thousand Poison Banner before him. He conversed with the origin imprints within the two spiritual treasures, and asked in bewilderment:

"Can they really be controlled?"

The incident began when the root of the plague suddenly informed it that, given the Demon Emperor's increasing control over the Spirit Treasure, he was now able to activate several supernatural powers sealed deep within it.

Those are all remnants of the original plague, capable of unleashing their full power. If they hit the Supreme Dao Lord or the Nine Palaces Ruler, they will surely turn them into puppets.

The Root Imprint within the Spirit Treasure reminds the Demon Emperor that he must launch a targeted surprise attack during the next great battle, prioritizing the elimination of several troublesome Nine Palaces Rulers. In this way, victory will be assured.

"Yes, I can unleash my ultimate attack from before I died, and I can do it three more times. As long as it's not blocked by innate magical artifacts, it will definitely be able to corrode them."

"It all depends on whether you seize the right opportunity."

The Root Mark continues to bewitch, and now the Sunset Demon Emperor can only unleash about 70-80% of the power of the two spiritual treasures, making it difficult to deal with the top experts of the Imperial Dynasty, the Sword Sect, and the Eight Great Lineages.

If this continues, the war could never end; there are too many variables.

Hearing the confident words of the Origin Imprint, the ever-cautious and suspicious Sunset Demon Emperor was not blinded by the good news.

Those Dao Lords and Sovereigns gathered together in the Daye Dynasty, so even if it wanted to launch a surprise attack, it would have no way to do so. Its own camp had three Nine Palaces Sovereigns, while the enemy's equal-level experts outnumbered its own by several times. If it made a mistake in its calculations, it would lose everything.

"Let me think about it some more..."

The Sunset Demon Emperor sighed softly.

"Whatever you say," the Root Mark said calmly.

"Don't blame me for not warning you before. The Human King Clan is suspected of possessing the legendary Primal Compass, an ancient artifact capable of breaking through boundary walls. If we allow them to plunder the innate magical artifacts within the Heavenly Abyss, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"In addition, the Human King Clan also has a clan-protecting secret technique that specializes in seizing other people's magical artifacts. If one is not born with them, one will inevitably be unable to resist their forceful plundering. I have personally experienced this. As for that kid Tianyuan, he is out of touch with the world. No matter how hard he racks his brains, he would never know that the Human King Clan has this trick up its sleeve."

"......"

Upon hearing this, the Sunset Demon Emperor felt a sense of apprehension. It could not forget that peerless sword, which was absolutely comparable to the Void Shadow Sword.

"What the senior said makes sense. At this point, anything is possible."

The thought of Xuanzun, who resides in Tianyuan, gives the Sunset Demon Emperor a headache.

If the human race and Jiang Mo truly reach a reconciliation, and then the royal family of the human kingdoms are used to bring him out, it will inevitably affect the course of the war.

"Moreover, don't forget that from beginning to end, what you saw and heard was only his one-sided account. Humans are masters of scheming, and a Dao Lord who can grow to the ultimate level in a remote and impoverished place like Tianyuan is definitely not a kind person."

"He said he destroyed two innate magical artifacts, the Chaos Cauldron and the Heavenly Heart Jade. Can you believe that nonsense?"

"Don't forget what he said in the beginning: he had three great magical artifacts in his hands, waiting for you to snatch them at any time. He even threatened that you should all wash your necks clean and wait for him to reap the rewards. What is true and what is false, how can you tell how many innate magical artifacts he actually has?"

The Roots Mark sneered repeatedly, constantly fanning the flames, fearing nothing more than a peaceful world.

"Tianyuan is just a world with incomplete laws. How could it have been able to sever your unrestrained clone there? It must have been tempered by the Chaos Cauldron to achieve such an effect."

"In your opinion, senior, we should strike first?"

The Sunset Demon Emperor instantly harbored murderous intent, unable to tolerate Jiang Mo's existence for even a moment.

"You intend to use your disciple's racial supernatural power to enter the Heavenly Abyss?" the Origin Mark retorted.

"Hmm... But this move is especially dangerous. Even with your spiritual treasure's support, I might not be his match, given the suppression of his cultivation level."

The Sunset Demon Emperor simply didn't have the guts to make a direct move; its chances of winning were too slim. Suppressed by Tianyuan, it would probably be instantly killed by a single sword strike if it encountered Jiang Mo, who was in perfect health and strength.

"It's simple, just wait and see, isn't that enough?"

The Origin Mark scoffed: "The Heavenly Abyss is a forbidden zone isolated from the world. No matter how powerful the native creatures within are, as long as they set foot in our world, they will inevitably suffer a heavenly tribulation, and even if they don't die, they will be crippled."

"If the human race can't hold back and brings him out first, the commotion will be enormous and I won't be able to hide it from them. Why don't you go and intercept them then?"

"This operation is crucial to the outcome of the entire war; you only have this one chance."

"........"

The Sunset Demon King's eyes gleamed with a cold light; it saw through the entire situation and already had a plan:

"In other words, the majority of the human race's top combat power will be used to welcome that person across realms. Given their hypocritical nature, they might even turn around and scheme against him?"

"That means that a small number of Supreme Dao Lords and Nine Palaces Sovereigns will remain in the Imperial Dynasty, and that will be the best time for us to make our move."

"Yes, it depends on your thoughts. Do you want to play it safe and get more puppets, or do you want to take a gamble and go and assassinate Tianyuan Daojun when he is in a weakened state?"

"This is a matter of great importance; please allow me to consider it carefully before acting..."

The Sunset Demon Emperor feigned indecisiveness and sighed helplessly.

"Enough with this nagging look. Just say what you have to say."

Having spent over a year with it, how could the Root Imprint not see through the Sunset Demon Emperor's scheme? So it simply interrupted him with a cold remark.

"This junior wishes to borrow the Undying True Blood Armor from the senior so that I may have the confidence to sweep away all heroes. Otherwise, I fear I will not be able to withstand their sharp edge."

Upon hearing this, the source of the disease couldn't help but chuckle, thinking it was truly a stroke of luck. He then jokingly remarked:

"Oh? You want to borrow my Undying True Blood Armor?"

"Yes......."

The Sunset Demon Emperor spoke frankly, explaining his reasoning: he needed the Blood Armor to protect himself from Jiang Mo's sword and other innate magical artifacts that could cause fatal damage.

"Let me tell you, that's my backup body. You might not be able to withstand its strength. If you try to wear it by force and get hurt or suffer a backlash, don't get angry."

"I am willing to bear all the consequences, and only ask for your help, senior."

Seeing that it had relented, the Sunset Demon King seized the opportunity to make an outrageous demand, intending to strike down three magical treasures with a single blow. It was extremely confident in its own cultivation and felt that it could withstand the burden brought by the magical artifacts.

"........"

This time, the Root Imprint remained silent for a long time.

The Sunset Demon Emperor remained silent, both sides secretly pondering and engaging in treachery.

Over the past few minutes, the Root Imprint slowly spoke in a cold voice:

"Okay, I'll lend you the Blood Armor. Don't let me down."

"You can rest assured, senior."

The Sunset Demon Emperor revealed a smug smile. It had finally waited for this moment. With the three great treasures of myriad calamities in hand, what was there to fear in assassinating Daoist Tianyuan!

Looking out over this vast land, who can stop it, who dares to stop it?

"Go here."

"Pass through thirty-three ancient star-covered lands and reach the end of the Milky Way; that is where the Undying True Blood Armor is located."

During the conversation, the Origin Mark activated the Emperor's Eye of Illusion, shooting out a clear beam of light. In an instant, an ancient map was projected into the void in front of them, marked with a vast starry sky, with ancient roads converging and connecting, stretching to the distant star fields beyond.

"Okay, thank you for your help, senior!"

The Sunset Demon Emperor, his face beaming with joy, couldn't help but stand up and peer closely at the map, memorizing every unique coordinate.

"The inscription to be unlocked requires eighty-one characters; remember them."

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Powang's eyes trembled slightly again, and eighty-one ancient blood-red characters appeared, arranged in a strict order. They were the final key to unlocking the Undying True Blood Armor.

"Remember, bring it back. I will help you put it on. You must not put it on by yourself."

"it is good."

The Sunset Demon King heeded the instructions and set off immediately upon receiving relevant clues.

"Boom!!"

It transformed into a streak of black light, shooting straight into the sky before disappearing into the vast universe in an instant, while the imperial city was left to be guarded by its clone.

In order to obtain the Blood Armor as soon as possible, the Sunset Demon Emperor even used his supernatural powers to travel, traversing thirty-three ancient roads in just a few days and nights, and arrived at the legendary destination, the treasure vault where the Undying True Blood Armor was stored.

What came into view was a huge, black mountain, with the corpses of countless races lying on its slopes, and even the ruins of more than a dozen ancient life-bearing stars that had been drained of their life force piled up in one place.

"!"

Upon first sight, the Sunset Demon Emperor was quite astonished, wondering just how many lives that Undying Blood Armor had devoured.

However, it quickly regained its composure. To it, the stronger the Undying Blood Armor was, the more it suited its desires.

With a deafening roar, the Sunset Demon Emperor unleashed a punch, as powerful as the sun falling to earth, its domineering force boundless.

The entire iron-colored sacred mountain was suddenly blasted apart, and the violent hurricane washed away countless dust particles, gradually revealing the true face of the treasure vault deep within.

Deep within the ruins was an inconspicuous cave dwelling, where the Sunset Demon Emperor arrived in a flash.

It stopped in front of the cave, looking at the many concave caves embedded in the entrance, their order completely disrupted. These were the secret runes that had been activated, and all of them required the other party to grant entry to the cave.

"Wow!"

Then, the Sunset Demon Emperor raised his hand, and eighty-one characters condensed in his palm, which suddenly scattered and precisely filled each groove.
