Mu Litian stared at Mu Lingjiu with a serious expression and warned, "You'd better tell the truth. Who asked you to come here and cheat?"
Then he said to Mu Tianxue, "Tianxue, don't believe this villain's slander. I'm sure he's been instructed by someone to deliberately sow discord between you and me. I don't have any divine bones in my body, but if I did, I would definitely give them to you, Tianxue."
Mu Tianxue smiled slightly, "Father is absolutely right, but I want to hear what she can come up with."
Mu Litian waved his hand, "Well, I'll also listen to what shocking words she has to say!"
Mu Tianxue gestured for Mu Lingjiu to continue.
Mu Lingjiu cupped his hands and continued, "The divine bone is in King Mu Tian's Netherworld Palace."
The Netherworld is what later generations often refer to as the heart, and it is also the key position for spiritual practice.
Mu Litian sneered when he heard this, "Nonsense! How could the divine bone be in the Nether Palace? The divine bone grows in the Qi Sea!"
Mu Tianxue also thought it was absurd. "Even if you're making this up, you should have made it more detailed. You even said what the Divine Bone said in the Netherworld. Someone, come! Drag him away!"
Mu Yufeng immediately stood in front of Mu Lingjiu, "Who dares to move?"
"You really take yourself seriously!" Mu Tianxue's eyes turned coldly, and several guards came forward to fight with Mu Yufeng.
Mu Lingjiu said coldly, "Why don't you listen to what I have to say, Empress?"
"Your lies may be able to fool people who don't understand cultivation, but you even want to fool me? That's really wishful thinking." Mu Tianxue had a look of sarcasm on her face, and it was obvious that she no longer believed Mu Lingjiu at all.
There was still a calm look in Mu Lingjiu's eyes.
"Your Majesty, you don't know that the divine bone must be integrated into the Netherworld in order to heal illnesses. You and the Heavenly King can't sense the divine bone's presence because it has already merged with the Netherworld. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can check it out. If I'm lying, Your Majesty will punish me!"
After hearing this, Mu Tianxue hesitated. She was wondering whether she should check Mu Litian's underworld.
If what Mu Lingjiu said is true, then...
Mu Tianxue turned to Mu Litian with anticipation in her eyes.
In the past, Mu Litian would have understood what Mu Tianxue was thinking and followed his lead, but this time, Mu Litian didn't understand immediately.
He insisted, “Tianxue, this person is talking nonsense, we should deal with him as soon as possible.”
Mu Tianxue frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied with Mu Litian's performance. However, she did not turn against him. Now that her cultivation had obviously declined, she did not dare to punish him.
"Well, I'll listen to Daddy."
She stood up and walked in front of Mu Litian.
"Dad, I'm a little tired after all this time. I want to go for a walk to refresh myself. Come with me."
Mu Litian immediately stood up and took Mu Tianxue's hand and went out for a walk.
Mu Lingyun walked in from outside and saw this scene. His face looked very bad, but he restrained his emotions in an instant.
He continued walking towards the palace and saw Mu Lingjiu and Mu Yufeng.
"Who are these two people?" Mu Lingyun glanced at the guards around him.
Eunuch Huang laughed and said, "These two are opera composers. The Empress ordered me to detain them first."
"Don't just execute him directly?" Mu Lingyun frowned in displeasure.
Eunuch Huang shook his head. "I don't know either. I'm just following the Empress's orders. I think these two people may have other uses."
Mu Lingyun nodded and turned his gaze to Mu Lingjiu again.
"What did you just say to the Empress?"
Mu Lingjiu replied calmly, "Tell us the whereabouts of the Empress's divine bones."
"Where are you going?" Mu Lingyun asked immediately.
"Lord Lingyun must have also listened to the opera."
Mu Lingjiu was halfway through her words when Eunuch Huang ordered his men to take her away.
"Take this person away quickly and don't pollute the eyes of our Lord Lingyun."
Mu Yufeng wanted to resist, but Mu Lingjiu said, "Third uncle, don't move."
So the two of them were quickly escorted out of the palace, and Mu Lingyun didn't have time to ask anything.
When they arrived at the sparsely defended area, Mu Lingjiu immediately used the power of control to easily take out several guards.
Mu Yufeng reacted and quickly helped knock out a few guards.
The two men stripped off the clothes of the guards, mixed into the crowd, and left the palace very easily.
"Niece, where are we going now?" Mu Yufeng asked.
"Go back to the sect." Mu Lingjiu replied.
"So soon?" Mu Yufeng didn't expect that he would only do one thing and then go back this time.
"That's enough." Mu Lingjiu believed that with Mu Tianxue's suspicion, he would not let her down.
Mu Lingjiu and Mu Yufeng were teleported back to the sect's teleportation point.
The two flew towards Mu Lingjiu's palace together.
On the way, Mu Lingjiu handed Mu Yufeng a bag and said, "Uncle San, this is what I got when I went out last time."
Mu Yufeng took the bag, weighed it, and was shocked beyond words.
"So many spirit stones?"
"Well, here are 10,000 spirit stones, which should be needed for my third uncle's cultivation." Mu Lingjiu said.
Mu Yufeng held the heavy spirit stone in his hand, feeling happy but also distressed. "To obtain these things, one must go through life and death. I can't accept them."
Mu Yufeng looked righteous as he returned the spirit stone to Mu Lingjiu.
Mu Lingjiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Third Uncle, I still have quite a bit."
"There are quite a few more?" Mu Yufeng was a little surprised and lowered his voice, "Does anyone else know?"
"Fourth Senior Sister." Mu Lingjiu said.
Mu Yufeng breathed a sigh of relief. "Then don't tell anyone else. Although Feng Yuexian is a bit stupid, she's still trustworthy. The others may not be trustworthy."
"Okay, I understand." Mu Lingjiu smiled and nodded.
After returning to the sect, Mu Lingjiu entered a semi-secluded state again, practicing peacefully in the sect every day.
It took her about a month to practice the Luotian Sword Technique to the ninth level.
I have also practiced the technique given by the eldest senior brother to the third level, and the energy in my body is getting stronger and stronger.
Mu Lingjiu still couldn't fully comprehend what that energy was. She could only vaguely sense it as an extremely powerful force, but she couldn't always mobilize it, only under certain conditions.
As her skills became more proficient, the energy became stronger and stronger.
Mu Lingjiu's cultivation level has also increased to the ninth level of Spirit Emperor in this month.
After finishing his training that day, he was drinking tea with Hehua in the yard when he saw Chen Feitian flying in front of Mu Lingjiu on his very flashy sword.
"Hello, Junior Sister, nice to see you again!"
"Any news?" Mu Lingjiu raised his eyebrows.
Chen Feitian smiled and handed Mu Lingjiu a piece of origami.
Mu Lingjiu opened the note and found a message on it.
"Mu Tianxue's body was temporarily controlled by the Gaozhou Buddha, but she was in urgent need of a divine bone. Mu Tianxue found several spare bones but was not satisfied with any. She ordered the Gaozhou Buddha to secretly inspect Mu Litian's body and discovered that the divine bone of the Killing Empress was indeed within Mu Litian. Mu Lingyun and others demanded that Mu Litian donate the divine bone to Mu Tianxue, but Mu Litian was unwilling and fled to Cangzhou overnight."
