The man who asked the question nodded and agreed with this statement.
"That's right. It's more important for us to hold on here. If something goes wrong, we can't afford to be blamed by the higher-ups."
Several people opened up and started chatting.
"Hey, I don't know how long we have to hold on here."
"It'll probably be just a few days. Didn't Master Chen say earlier that the Empress would stay here tomorrow?"
"Once the Empress is done with her business, we can go back with her. Finally, we don't have to guard this place anymore."
"I heard that this ancestor worship is very important to the Empress, and it is very likely to help her reach a higher level of cultivation."
"Up a level?" an uninformed guard exclaimed. "So, you're saying the Empress is going to leap from Spiritual Saint to Spiritual Emperor?! She'll be able to put those rebels in the Red Sea to death in no time! And reclaim the lost territory, and we'll benefit from it too."
At this time, a man came from the corner with a cold expression and stared at them.
"What are you talking about?" The man who came was also the commander of the Royal Guard, Mu Tianxue's most trusted dog, Hong Chen.
Hong Chen has now reached the first level of Spiritual Venerable strength and has the highest cultivation level among Mu Tianxue's guards.
As soon as he raised his eyes, Hong Chen found someone peeping at him. He slapped Mu Lingjiu and Feng Yuexian.
Mu Lingjiu teleported away without hesitation.
In an instant they were out of the Mu family ancestral hall.
Hong Chen chased to the place where Mu Lingjiu and Feng Yuexian had just stayed, sniffed with his nose, and remembered the smell.
He said coldly: "Go after him!"
He believed that anyone who dared to show up at this time must be an enemy, and he would help Mu Tianxue completely remove all obstacles, without leaving a single enemy.
Mu Lingjiu and Feng Yuexian had just been teleported out. Feng Yuexian opened her mouth to speak, but before she could finish her words, she was dragged away by Mu Lingjiu and ran away frantically.
Feng Yuexian could only hear the whistling sound of the wind around her. She felt like she was floating in the air. Mu Lingjiu was holding one of her arms, and her head was buzzing.
She had never seen Mu Lingjiu run so fast before, as if she was fleeing.
"Master, Junior Sister, don't run away, I, I'm exhausted."
Mu Lingjiu ignored Feng Yuexian and kept running. He ran for dozens of miles before stopping. They arrived at the mountains behind the Hehuan Sect.
Feng Yuexian's face was blown crooked.
She rubbed her cheek, confused.
"Junior sister, is it really that scary? Do we have to escape from such a fierce situation?"
"Hong Chen is a demon cultivator and a black scent dog that is best at identifying smells." Mu Lingjiu explained.
"I've heard of the Black Smell Dog!" Feng Yuexian slammed the table and stood up. "It seems this dog can smell the scent of souls. Therefore, if it sets its sights on you, no matter how you disguise yourself, it's useless."
Mu Lingjiu nodded, "Yes."
Feng Yuexianren was stunned. "Were we targeted just now? Fortunately, you ran fast, Junior Sister!"
"He probably just smelled our clothes and bodies. He hasn't been close to us, nor has he seen us, so he might not remember us. Let's get rid of the smell quickly."
Mu Lingjiu took Feng Yuexian to a nearby pool to take a bath.
Feng Yuexian was puzzled. "Junior Sister, how come you are so familiar with this place? Have you been here before? You even know the spring pool in this mountain."
Mu Lingjiu smiled.
Feng Yuexian was instantly stunned. That face that didn't like to smile, when it smiled, seemed to make the whole world beautiful.
It was just like this when Feng Yuexian met Mu Lingfeng.
Ahhh, she suddenly felt that she had fallen in love with someone else.
For a moment, I forgot about the previous problem and kept scrubbing myself in the spring water.
Mu Lingjiu took out a bottle of ointment from the space and gave it to Feng Yuexian, one for each of them.
The scent of the ointment can cover up the original smell, so the two of them will not be easily found by the world.
Not only that, Mu Lingjiu also took out several medicinal herbs from the space, picked a few medicinal herbs nearby, mixed them together and applied them on his body.
"What is the use of this medicinal herb?" Feng Yuexian tried to sniff it, but there was no smell.
"You can't smell it if it's directed at the mortal world."
Mu Lingjiu could already roughly imagine Hong Chen's reaction after smelling this scent.
After doing all this, Mu Lingjiu was in a good mood. He leaned against a tree and took out the spell given by his senior brother to practice.
After practicing for a while, it was already late at night.
Only then did she write a letter and give it to Qianli Bird to send back to Xuanxian Sect to her eldest brother.
Mu Tianxue will come tomorrow, and she will definitely be accompanied by many strong men. She will definitely not be able to deal with her.
Mu Lingjiu sent ten letters in succession, delivering them at different times to ensure that the letters could reach Xuanxian Sect smoothly and reach the hands of the eldest senior brother.
Mu Lingjiu did all this before returning to the city with Feng Yuexian.
Hong Chen searched for them all the way to the spring.
As soon as Hong Chen smelled the spring water, he vomited it out.
Ugh, ugh, ugh——
"Commander!" Two guards immediately stepped forward.
Hong Chen roared, "Get out."
He knew he had fallen for a trick. The herbal odor he had just smelled was a recipe specifically designed to make him lose his sense of smell. It was a recipe that very few people could concoct.
Not only was the other party able to configure it, but he also knew that his true identity was the Black Smelling Dog.
At this moment, Hong Chen only felt a chill on his back.
He didn't care that he had lost his sense of smell and quickly ordered his subordinates, "Let's go back first."
There must not be any mistakes in the ancestral hall!
After Mu Lingjiu and Feng Yuexian returned to the city, they continued to guard the ancestral hall.
The guards outside the ancestral hall were still on guard, and they must be on guard inside as well.
Feng Yuexian asked, "Junior Sister, are we still going?"
"No, let's go to the inn."
The two found an inn to rest, and just as they turned around, they saw a man in blue passing by the door.
If Mu Lingjiu was not mistaken, this person was Mu Lingxiong.
Unlike his usual high-profile self, Mu Lingxiong wore ordinary green clothes and a conical hat, and restrained his hostility.
But Mu Lingjiu recognized the sword at his waist, or rather, the sword knew Mu Lingjiu.
She only took one look and felt it.
"Junior sister, what are you looking at?"
"It's okay." Mu Lingjiu turned around and continued to arrange accommodation.
The two of them soon lay down on the comfortable bed in the inn, and Feng Yuexian rolled around twice in joy.
"I've been busy with my spiritual practice lately and haven't touched the bed for a month or two."
The same is true for Mu Lingjiu. He has been busy practicing recently and has not been lying down to rest.
In this situation, it is even more impossible for Mu Lingjiu to sleep.
She sat cross-legged in meditation, and Feng Yuexian rolled on the bed for a while before falling asleep.
It was not until the next morning that Mu Lingjiu got up and stood by the window to look at the scenery outside.
The position she chose was very high, so she could see far away and even vaguely see the entrance of the Mu family ancestral hall.
Mu Tianxue is going to the Mu family ancestral hall today, and Mu Lingjiu is also very curious about when she will go to the Mu family ancestral hall.
Mu Tianxue did not appear in Cangzhou with a big fanfare, but in the morning Mu Lingjiu saw the Lord of Cangzhou, her second uncle Mu Lichen, leading his family to the Mu family ancestral hall.
They were very fast and careful, and didn't bring too many people with them. They were very low-key, unlike her second uncle who had a flamboyant personality.
