I'm back.
If one truly wants to live a life of peace and tranquility, how can one welcome a stranger into the house and sit down to drink tea?
Mo Zuili opened her mouth, wanting to probe further, but seeing Shan Yue's expression change suddenly before returning to normal, she said unhurriedly, "It seems there are others who also want to get to know the Holy Maiden. I'm afraid I can't keep you here any longer."
Mo Zuili frowned.
Qing Shanyue stood up and said calmly, "Fifth Sister has a bad temper; I've suffered at her hands before. Holy Maiden, please be careful."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a loud, threatening shout rang out from outside the hall: "Third brother! You brought in a foreigner without even introducing him to me?"
Upon hearing the shout, Qing Shanyue's expression, which had been calm, suddenly turned into a cold smile, which she quickly concealed.
Finally, she gave Mo Zuili a meaningful look, handed her a rough token that looked like wood, and said, "After the Holy Maiden resolves the trouble, you are welcome to visit the Dragon Domain again."
Mo Zuili pondered for a moment before taking the token. He wanted to ask another question, but Qing Shanyue had already turned and walked into the inner room on her own.
Turning her head to look at Qi Shuyan, whose expression was not good, Mo Zuili asked, "Is that the Fifth Princess outside?"
Qi Shuyan frowned and nodded, saying, "Yes, but she should be in seclusion these days, so why would she come looking for us?"
Mo Zuili stuck out her tongue and pressed it against her cheek, withdrawing her gaze from the direction Qing Shanyue had left, and said softly, "Of course, someone told her that there was something about me, an outsider, that she was interested in."
With a cold laugh, Mo Zuili was the first to step out of Qing Shanyue's courtyard.
Standing outside was a woman of similar height to Mo Zuili, with a tall and straight figure, her black hair flowing like a waterfall, loosely tied behind her head with a flowing ribbon, and a few strands of hair hanging down her cheeks, swaying slightly with her movements, giving her a wild air.
Upon seeing Mo Zuili emerge, he turned his gaze, his pupils a deep black, and narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at people, with a hint of disdain.
Dressed in a black, close-fitting outfit, with a silver chain around his waist that jingled as he moved, and a short blade slung across his waist, its sheath black and the hilt inlaid with an obsidian stone.
Mo Zuili smiled and said, "Fifth Prince."
Hua Fei approached, her gaze sweeping over Mo Zuili from head to toe without any politeness, before finally saying disdainfully, "What are you outsiders doing in the Dragon Domain? Looking for your little lover? I've always been curious, since the Third Prince woke up, he hasn't left the Dragon Domain. How did you two meet?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Zuili felt an extremely strong pressure enveloping her.
"Peak Golden Core stage is amazing!" Mo Zuili gritted her teeth inwardly, just about to make up an excuse, when she heard Qi Shuyan beside her speak in a humble yet assertive manner: "Spiritual connection. My soul was not here before, and I was trapped in her magic artifact. I met Sister Li before returning to the Dragon Domain."
After a long while, Hua Fei withdrew her oppressive aura and chuckled, her gaze still fixed on Mo Zuili, and asked, "Then what are you doing in the Dragon Domain now?"
Mo Zuili raised her eyes and said frankly, "I was being chased outside and had nowhere to go but to hide in the Dragon Domain."
Confirming that Mo Zuili wasn't lying, Hua Fei became even more disdainful, saying, "Do you really think the Dragon Domain is a place you can come and go as you please? The rare treasures of the Dragon Domain can even break through your cultivation level. Judging from your current condition, your injuries have already healed. Go back to where you came from."
After saying that, Hua Fei smiled and turned her gaze to Qi Shuyan and Zhu Zhu, saying, "The Third Prince has only been awake for a few days, and he is still a young dragon. He should stay in the palace and cultivate in seclusion to improve his cultivation. Don't go out and wander around. You know that the situation in the Dragon Domain is tense right now. Swords have no eyes. It would be bad if you were accidentally hurt."
Although she said the injury was bad, Hua Fei's eyes were full of excitement.
She seemed to be looking forward to Qi Shuyan encountering other dragons so she could kill them all.
After delivering the warning to Qi Shuyan, Hua Fei realized that there was a final candle offering.
Hua Fei raised an eyebrow and smiled: "The priest's lineage? How many princesses are there now? Never mind... you should mind your own business and go back to the priest's space."
According to Mo Zuili's original plan, she wanted to secretly meet with several of the contenders for the throne.
But now, not only did the Ninth Princess Qing Shanyue reveal her identity as the Holy Maiden of the Phoenix Clan, she also gave her the token, saying that they could talk in detail after the trouble was resolved.
This shows that he has already figured out that he plans to cooperate with the Dragon Clan so that he can fight against Huang Tianyao's Phoenix Clan in the future.
The Fifth Princess Hua Fei must have received a message from someone and came to warn... or rather, to drive people away.
Pulling herself back to reality, Mo Zuili glanced at Hua Fei's faint, cold smile and realized that she either had to leave the Dragon Domain immediately or fight this person.
Mo Zuili could tell from Hua Fei's eyes that she was murderous. This kind of person could not be a Zhu Zhu or a dragon guard, such a person was just a pretty face with no practical experience.
He was just a Golden Core cultivator in the mid-stage, while the other was a Golden Core peak cultivator from the Dragon Clan who was proficient in spatial power.
There is no chance of winning.
Mo Zuili took a deep breath, put away her fake smile, looked at Hua Fei, and said calmly, "Then as Your Highness wishes, I will leave immediately."
Hua Fei looked at Mo Zuili, her hand unconsciously reaching for the short blade slung across her waist, her eyes filled with a hint of disappointment.
Mo Zuili entered the Dragon Realm and, despite being severely injured, fought six opponents without losing. She is not someone to be trifled with. Hua Fei wanted to provoke Mo Zuili so that she could have a legitimate reason to kill him.
...
Foreigners entering and leaving the Dragon Realm should use tokens, but when Mo Zuili entered, she used the Azure Dragon Bracelet, which contained Qi Shuyan's power.
If you don't use a token to enter, you can't use a token to exit.
In the end, it was only through the spatial power of the Candle Priest lineage that a gap was opened, allowing Mo Zuili to escape.
Another wave of nausea and vomiting dizziness washed over me.
Mo Zuili felt as if she were walking on cotton, with colorful and dazzling light spots before her eyes, and the whole world was spinning.
"Princess! You've broken through!"
A familiar voice reached her ears, and Mo Zuili subconsciously reached out to make Huang Yu lower her voice.
Huang Yu came over to help Mo Zuili up, and only after Mo Zuili recovered did she quickly say, "Zhu Hehong, go and distract the Phoenix Clan traitors patrolling nearby. I will stay here and wait for the princess to come out."
"How long have I been inside?" Mo Zuili's voice was hoarse as she held her head; she still felt a little dizzy.
Huang Yu immediately replied, "You've been inside for thirteen hours."
After a short while, once her head was no longer spinning, Mo Zuili gripped the Phoenix Flame Spear and stood up.
Without even asking Huang Yu, she knew that the current situation was not optimistic.
The small world was completely permeated with demonic energy in every corner.
Mo Zuili spread her divine sense, her expression grim, and asked, "There are already demons in the small world? When did they start appearing?"
Huang Yu's face was also filled with deep worry.
"I discovered the first demon about five hours after the princess entered. It was because of that demon that Zhu Hehong and I were discovered by the Phoenix Clan traitors, which is why she went to lure them away."
Exhaling, Mo Zuili sneered. Huang Tianyao was indeed more ruthless than she had imagined.
Before entering the Dragon Realm, Mo Zuili was still wondering if Huang Tianyao had already found a way to stop the demons from seizing the power of the Demon King, which was why he was so unhurried in sending people to kill her.
Now, thirteen hours have passed, and the demons can enter the small world. If this continues, all the geniuses of the demon race and the human race will die in the Phoenix Ruins. It seems that I overestimated her.
This person planned to eliminate his rival before he could die in peace.
Mo Zuili thought to herself that it was fortunate that she had been cautious and had considered the possibility that the entire Phoenix Ruins would be occupied by the demon race as soon as she came out of the Dragon Domain.
Given the current situation, Mo Zuili has also considered ways to deal with it.
Mo Zuili infused spiritual energy into the Phoenix Flame Spear. When Huang Yu asked if they should find Zhu Hehong first, Mo Zuili denied it, saying, "No need, let's fight directly."
Mo Zuili stretched out her other hand to Huang Yu and said, "Hold on tight. If Huang Tianyao wants to get rid of me first, then I don't mind feeding her to the demons."
Before Huang Yu could figure out what Mo Zuili meant, her hand had already instinctively grabbed Mo Zuili.
The next instant, Huang Yu opened her eyes wide; she sensed the power of space.
The spatial and temporal powers in the cultivation world are the most mysterious and difficult to obtain, and are often only accessible to cultivators with great opportunities.
The dragon race does possess the power of spatial laws, but they haven't appeared in the world for a long time.
By severing space, essentially a high-level version of a teleportation talisman, Mo Zuili, carrying Huang Yu, arrived behind a group of demons in just three breaths.
Mo Zuili turned to look at the stunned Huang Yu. Huang Yu, seemingly imagining something, asked in a low voice, "Princess, do you also have dragon blood? Actually, you're not a half-human, half-demon hybrid; you just use this identity to avoid a lot of trouble. Actually, you..."
Mo Zuili quickly reached out to stop Huang Yu's wild imagination, tossed her a ring, and said calmly, "Don't overthink it. I can use spatial power because of the dragon clan's magical artifacts, not because of myself."
Although the old Dragon Emperor had many descendants, the Dragon Clan's treasure trove was truly abundant.
Even with so many descendants, each one can still receive countless magical artifacts and treasures that are the envy of outsiders.
Although Qi Shuyan had no soul, she was kept in a separate space.
But it doesn't count as death, and besides, he was the third prince.
His private treasury naturally contained countless treasures.
Mo Zuili selected many magical artifacts that were related to the power of spatial laws to bring out, thinking that in case they really went to the last step.
A magical artifact with spatial laws might be able to directly transport me to the Phoenix Ruins.
After all, the reason why one cannot leave the Phoenix Ruins after they are closed is, to some extent, due to the confinement of spatial forces.
Mo Zuili pulled out a necklace and helped Huang Yu put it on, saying, "Go out and fight directly later. If you can't win, just inject spiritual power into the necklace and use your divine sense to control the direction. You can then achieve long-distance teleportation."
After giving her instructions, Mo Zuili grabbed the Phoenix Flame Spear without hesitation and charged out before Huang Yu could react.
Of the seven demon clans, five are Phoenix Clan members, including Huang Tianyao's faction.
The leader among them was the man who mocked Mo Zuili before she entered the Dragon Realm, saying he could leave her a whole corpse.
The Phoenix Flame Spear swept away in a burst of flames, and Mo Zuili's laughter was sinister as he said, "Sorry, I've received a modern education and I don't have the habit of leaving people with a complete corpse. I usually just burn them to ashes."
It must be said that the strict cultivation levels in the cultivation world are not a fabrication.
The kind of monsters that the male protagonist fights against every level he's stronger, and those who are weaker than him, don't count.
Mo Zuili broke through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. After recovering most of her injuries in the Dragon Domain, she returned to fight with the help of a magic weapon with spatial power, which made it incredibly easy for her.
