SFS Chapter 150 Appointment Of The Empress
Chapter 150 Appointment Of The Empress
Outside the formation valley.
Zhao Mu approached cautiously. He encountered many Demon Clan disciples along the way, but none of them were strong enough to detect his presence.
However, many Demon Clan experts had gathered in the valley.
Most of them did not seem to be disciples of the Saint Prime Devil Sect. They should be from other Demon Clan forces.
Zhou Siliang's cave abode had been breached. A huge metal house was exposed, and several powerful Demon Clan cultivators surrounded it.
Zhao Mu recognized an acquaintance among them.
Zhao Mu had seen this person when he attended the banquet in Kong Miaoyin's cave abode.
He was also a personal disciple. His name was Lang Baiyu, and he was also on the Prodigy Roll.
However, he was not the main character at the moment.
Lang Baiyu was saying something respectfully to an old man in front of him.
Zhao Mu did not know what kind of Demon Clan the old man was. Although he had taken the form of a human, his head was strangely large, sharp, and long. His scalp was wrinkled as if his brain was exposed. He gave off a strange yet intelligent feeling.
However, his cultivation level seemed to be only in the Divine Transformation Realm. It was not enough to threaten Zhao Mu.
Zhao Mu made up his mind and secretly approached the valley. He wanted to hear what they were talking about.
"Master Gu Mao, you're a famous Formation Master in the Demon Clan. We'll rely on you to break the formation."
The big-headed old man looked arrogant. He glanced at Lang Baiyu and said, "Since you know that I'm the only one who can break this Saint Prime Formation, don't rush me every few days. You know the consequences if you mess with my mind and delay the progress of breaking the formation!"
Lang Baiyu's attitude was humble. He nodded repeatedly and soon left.
However, when he left, he was muttering something under his breath. He must have been scolded by Master Gu Mao.
After Lang Baiyu left, Zhao Mu, who had been hiding in the dark, finally revealed himself.
Although there were many guards around, they did not seem to notice Zhao Mu's appearance. They did not cause any alarm at all.
Zhao Mu walked behind Master Gu Mao and said, "If you can't break it, then don't. It's not shameful to give up."
"Impudent! There is no formation in this world that I, Gu Mao, can't break!"
Grandmaster Gu Mao turned around angrily but was slightly stunned when he saw Zhao Mu. He immediately realized something and was about to shout for help when he felt a terrifying heatwave sweeping over, causing all the blood in his body to boil. He opened his mouth wide but could not make a sound. All he could do was emit a puff of black smoke.
In the blink of an eye, Grandmaster Gu Mao was burned to ashes.
Zhao Mu was also slightly surprised.
He had only revealed his Dharma Idol slightly, but he did not expect its power to be far beyond his imagination. Although Master Gu Mao did not seem to be an expert, he was still an expert in the Divine Transformation Realm. However, under the shroud of the Burning Moon Star Flame Dharma Idol, he could not survive for more than a second. He was almost instantly killed.
This was the first time Zhao Mu had used his Dharma Power after his breakthrough. The power of his Dharma Power was probably beyond his expectations.
The sudden fire finally attracted the attention of the demonic cultivators in the valley.
But it was too late.
Before they could do anything, they saw starlight shining in front of them.
In the next second, dozens of demonic cultivators were all vaporized. They did not have the cultivation of the Divine Transformation Realm, so they were not even qualified to leave ashes on the ground. Their physical bodies were directly vaporized, leaving nothing behind.
As soon as the Dharma Idol was used, it killed without leaving a trace.
However, the commotion was a little too big. Other experts of the Demon Clan would probably rush over soon.
If they were surrounded, it wouldn't be easy.
Zhao Mu seized the time and reached out to the core of the formation, shouting, "Master, can you hear me?"
"This voice … could it be Zhao Mu? You're silly. Since you escaped from the Devil Sect, why come back to die!"
Zhou Siliang's voice immediately echoed from the formation. It was filled with both joy and anger.
"Master, what's your situation now?"
Zhou Siliang seemed to understand that time was of the essence, so he didn't waste his breath and directly said, "Most of the human cultivators are now hiding in Sheng Yuan Palace. The Sheng Yuan Grand Formation has already consumed too much spiritual power under the repeated attacks of the elite experts of the Hundred Demon Alliance. If we don't replenish it, the grand formation will soon lose its function."
"Master, don't worry. I'll think of a way to recharge the formation. Also, if I want to enter Sheng Yuan Palace, do you have a way?"
Zhou Siliang hesitated for a moment, then suddenly sent a divine rune into Zhao Mu's mind through the formation. "This is the location of the transmission formation to enter Sheng Yuan Palace. It's a secret door and must not be leaked."
Divine runes could also be seen as a kind of text. Divine runes carved through a special method had the effect of recording and transmitting information. Moreover, they were encrypted information that ordinary people couldn't understand at all.
At this moment, Zhao Mu sensed several powerful auras rapidly approaching from the distance. He immediately cut off the connection and quickly withdrew from the formation valley.
It wasn't the time for a head-on confrontation. First, he had to recharge the Sheng Yuan formation, then find Empress Qing Yun and help her retrieve her body.
To recharge the formation, he had to find the formation core.
Fortunately, Zhao Mu had studied the Sheng Yuan formation before and knew the location of several formation cores.
The problem was that even if he knew where the formation cores were, the formation consumed a terrifying amount of spirit qi. Zhao Mu didn't have enough spirit stones to replenish it.
"I still have to find Empress Qing Yun first. Only she can take out enough spirit stones."
But where should he find her?
Calculating the time, Jangdou should be on duty today. He didn't know where she was hiding.
Zhao Mu wandered around the Devil Sect aimlessly. In order to avoid crowded places, he kept circling around and unknowingly came to a valley full of corpses.
He had been here before.
It was the Hero's Mound that Mu Jiuling had brought him to.
This was the place where the Saint Prime Devil Sect held their sacrificial ceremonies for their brave predecessors. The skeletons buried here were all seniors who had made great contributions to the Saint Prime Devil Sect.
These seniors of the Devil Sect would never have thought that the greatest crisis since the establishment of the Devil Sect was not from the outside, but from within.
Just as Zhao Mu was lamenting, a voice suddenly came from behind.
"You actually came here. That's quite thoughtful of you."
Zhao Mu turned around and saw that it was Jellybean.
No, based on her tone and demeanor, she should be Empress Qing Yun.
"Empress?"
"We're in a dangerous situation right now, and Jangdou can't handle it. I've come to an agreement with her, and I'll be in control of this body for the time being."
So that was the case.
No wonder she could find him.
After all, she was the empress of the Azure Cloud Empire. She would definitely have more tricks up her sleeves than Jelly Bean.
"Empress, I've already contacted master Zhou Siliang. He told me the location of the secret teleportation formation to enter Sheng Yuan Palace. But before that, I need to replenish the Sheng Yuan formation's spirit qi," Zhao Mu said.
Empress Qing Yun said, "Of course I know there's a teleportation formation to Sheng Yuan Palace, but it's a one-way teleportation formation. You can only enter and not exit. So I need you to take a risk and take my body out of Sheng Yuan Palace. When the time comes, I'll open a path for you outside Sheng Yuan Palace and help you escape the Devil Sect."
