Due to years of natural disasters, even the most noble imperial palace now inevitably shows signs of decay.
The palace was desolate everywhere, and the servants were all trembling with fear. Looking at their faces, they looked even more haggard.
The entire Chu family, including the people brought by Fan Ji, were all escorted to the Heavenly Prison, while Chu Mu was taken to the Yangxin Palace.
In the hall, a charming woman sat on the emperor's lap as if she had no bones. She hugged the emperor's neck and smiled sweetly while looking at Chu Mu below the stairs: "Are you the Chu family's demon?"
Chu Mu looked extremely weak and coughed twice.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk," the fox demon pushed the emperor aside and walked up to Chu Mu with lotus steps. Her sharp red nails pinched Chu Mu's chin, forcing him to look up. "You have a face that makes me feel pity."
The long nails suddenly exerted force, leaving a deep bloody mark on each of Chu Mu's cheeks.
"Oops, my hand slipped." The fox demon covered her mouth pretentiously, "This doesn't look good anymore... How about I help you draw more?"
The fox demon's long claws became sharper and sharper, and as if to vent its anger, it scratched Chu Mu's cheek until his original appearance could no longer be seen.
"Hahahaha, this is much better."
The fox demon smiled triumphantly, but didn't notice that the shackles that bound Chu Mu had been loosened.
"what do you want from me?"
The play was acted, but the pain on his face was real. Chu Mu asked weakly, but at the same time he was thinking, if he met Fan Ji in his current state, would he be scared?
The fox demon stared at Chu Mu's destroyed face with vicious eyes, and was extremely happy: "I want that corpse Arhat... By the way, what happened to you in the Qi family compound later? Why can't I investigate further after I only see the corpse Arhat?"
It is true.
Chu Mu smiled secretly.
He guessed that this nine-tailed fox must have a way to find out what happened in the Qi family compound, and he also guessed that she could not see the scene of his confrontation with the temple.
If she knew that she had a Zhuhua dragon in her body, she would not act so rashly as she does now.
"Speak!" Seeing Chu Mu was silent, the fox demon fiercely grabbed his throat. "Otherwise, I will immediately order your lover to be executed by slow slicing."
"After that..." Chu Mu's face was filled with pain, "I fainted from exhaustion."
"Just that?" The fox demon obviously didn't believe it.
"If you don't believe me, I can't..."
"Hmph, you're just being stubborn." The fox demon threw Chu Mu aside and turned to look at the emperor. "Your Majesty, this demon is not honest. I'm afraid we have to use some real force to deal with him."
The emperor on the dragon throne had no focus and could only agree stiffly: "My beloved concubine has the final say."
"Your Majesty..." Chu Mu suddenly shouted, "Don't let this fox demon deceive your mind. She is the demon."
The emperor remained unmoved by Chu Mu's cries.
The fox demon laughed arrogantly: "Chu Mu, Chu Mu, I thought you were quite capable, but it turns out you are just a waste. How can you break the magic spell from the fox god clan by just shouting a few times?"
"I don't believe it," Chu Mu said bitterly, "It must be too far away, the emperor didn't hear it."
Chu Mu stumbled to his feet and walked towards the dragon throne dragging his shackles.
The fox demon looked at him teasingly, but didn't try to stop him: "Then you can give it a try. But don't accuse me, the fox god, of bullying mortals..."
It was less than two meters away from the throne and had entered the range of the bone whistle.
"Then I'll really try it."
Chu Mu suddenly smiled, and the shackles on his body fell to the ground.
The fox demon realized that something had changed and flew over to stop it, but was blocked by a bronze arhat.
"Good for you! You're not weak and tired, you're tricking me!"
Chu Mu ignored the clamoring fox demon. He raised the bone whistle and put it in his mouth and blew it.
Woohoo—woohoo—
The ethereal and heavy whistle sounded as if it came from another world. The emperor on the dragon throne suddenly covered his heart with his hands, feeling extremely painful.
"The Bone Whistle of the Sorcerer God!" The fox demon was shocked. "You actually have the Bone Whistle of the Sorcerer God!"
In a rage, the fox demon pressed the half-body of Arhat into the bluestone slab, and turned its claws into hooks, trying to tear Chu Mu apart.
A low and heavy dragon roar broke through the air, and a golden dragon roared and swung its tail, knocking the fox demon directly into its original form.
"You—you—" The fox demon felt truly frightened. She arched her back, raised her claws, and looked vigilantly at the person on the jade steps.
Chu Mu had stopped whistling at this time. He turned around slowly, and his bloody face returned to its flawless whiteness under the golden light of the dragon.
"Anyone who offends my Hua should be killed."
As the word "kill" came out, the dragon roared.
In the palace of the True Dragon Emperor, the spiritual energy of the divine dragon increased greatly, and the dragon's might as big as a mountain pressed down fiercely, suppressing the nine-tailed fox demon under it.
“Ahhh—”
The fox demon screamed, half of its body was broken into pieces.
The power of the Fox God Clan is to confuse the mind. In a real head-on fight, they can't even beat the Snake God, let alone the Dragon God.
Chu Mu looked back at the Emperor whose eyes had regained clarity: "Emperor, do you see this? This is your beloved concubine."
The current emperor was a coward and not a master of strategy. Seeing this scene, his teeth were already trembling with fear: "It turned out to be a demon..."
Chu Mu looked down on this cowardly emperor and snorted disdainfully, "Now I want to kill her and take her tail. Will Your Majesty punish me for treason?"
The emperor shook his head like a rattle: "Hero, hero, please!"
"Chu Mu, you can't win even if you kill me, you——"
Chu Mu picked up the broken ninth tail and took a last look at the fox corpse whose skull was crushed by the dragon: "It's too dirty. I don't want this fur. Just crush it."
The giant dragon roared and crushed the fox demon into powder.
Chu Mu put the broken tail into the space and looked outside the hall with a slightly solemn look.
Logically speaking, with such a big commotion in the Yangxin Palace, the guards should have run in.
However, not a single guard was alarmed until the fox demon was killed.
Abnormal, extremely abnormal.
Chu Mu was about to leave when he suddenly remembered the emperor who was still trembling in the hall.
Although he looked down on this True Dragon Emperor, he was at least the lifeline recognized by Zhu Hua...
"Alas," Chu Mu left the corpse of Arhat behind, "Emperor, please stay in the palace and don't run around. He will protect you."
The emperor looked at the half-dead body of Arhat and shuddered again.
…
Chu Mu ran out of the hall and was then forced to stop.
He was blocked by an invisible barrier!
With his abilities, he was completely unable to break through.
Outside the barrier are overwhelming evil and defenseless mortals.
Temple, take action.
