Mu Lingjiu raised his eyes slightly and looked at Mu Lingyun, "I heard that you really plan to hand over the control of several states?"
Mu Lingyun nodded. "Well, I didn't know before, but now that I know what you've done for me, I'm too embarrassed to keep these things. In the future, you will continue to be the empress, and I will assist you. I will definitely make you the most honorable person in the world."
Mu Lingjiu just smiled slightly and shook his head. If Mu Lingyun had said these words in the past, Mu Lingjiu would definitely be very touched, but now Mu Lingyun's words only made Mu Lingjiu laugh.
"Do you know that a new Spiritual Emperor will appear?" Mu Lingjiu asked.
Mu Lingyun had also heard some rumors. He nodded, "I know, but if we were to be together, even the new emperor would think twice. Someone who has just advanced to the Spiritual Emperor, whose position is not yet stable, will not come to cause trouble for us immediately. We still have enough time to deal with it."
"Maneuver?" Mu Lingjiu smiled slowly. "Do you think you can do it with your current strength?"
Mu Lingyun pursed his lips. He had a very clear understanding of himself. He knew that his strength was not good enough, but he could use his brain.
Even if it was Emperor Ling, Mu Lingjiu was killed by them.
However, he couldn't say this in front of Mu Lingjiu, and besides, he didn't know who the new emperor was.
"There will always be a way. If we work together, there will be no problem! Jiu'er, you must believe me."
Mu Lingjiu looked at Mu Lingyun and said, "I came to you this time because of the Red Sea. They are willing to cooperate with you, but they want to see your sincerity."
Mu Lingyun nodded. "What do you want in exchange for trusting me? I've already handed over the defense maps from the past few weeks. Isn't that enough to show my sincerity?"
"I don't know if the defense map is real or not." Mu Lingjiu asked doubtfully, "Are there any others?"
Mu Lingyun's heart tightened. He didn't expect Mu Lingjiu to not trust him at all. Is there really no family affection between them?
He looked at Mu Lingjiu with a sincere expression, "Besides that, I'll give you whatever you want."
"How about letting the Red Sea army directly enter the state you control?" Mu Lingjiu asked.
Mu Lingyun barely thought about it and nodded, "Okay."
Such a firm agreement made Mu Lingjiu suspect that Mu Lingyun had other tricks up his sleeve.
After hesitating for a while, Mu Lingjiu continued, "Your cooperation with Hong Hai is nothing more than a desire to control the entire Jiuzhou. But now that the new emperor is about to appear, your idea is doomed to fail."
Mu Lingjiu said as he observed Mu Lingyun's reaction.
Mu Lingyun frowned. This was indeed not easy to deal with.
"If a new emperor appears at that time, I will give up Jiuzhou and submit to him, and then find an opportunity to get rid of him."
"This is very much like your style." Mu Lingjiu nodded.
"Then we'll see what happens after the new emperor appears. On the surface, we can each pursue our own interests, but secretly, we might consider forming a conspiracy."
Mu Lingjiu said.
After hearing this, Mu Lingyun was filled with joy, "Really, Lingjiu, you accept me?"
Mu Lingjiu frowned, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not accepting you, but I'm planning to try to cooperate. If there's even the slightest sign of betrayal, we'll pull away."
"Don't worry, it won't happen." Mu Lingyun said firmly.
Mu Lingjiu knew how much Mu Lingyun desired power, and she didn't really trust him.
But the new emperor is about to appear, so it might be a good idea to take advantage of him.
After the two discussed for a while, Mu Lingyun left happily.
Mu Lingjiu plans to go into seclusion.
"I will be in seclusion for the time being, practicing and trying my best to improve my cultivation to that of a Spirit Saint. I'll leave the outside matters to you." Mu Lingjiu said to Bazhua.
Bazhua immediately bowed and saluted, "Yes, Master."
Mu Lingjiu began his retreat.
Sheng Mingyue had not yet started her retreat, but was thinking about Mu Lingjiu's words.
Is it really not a good time to become Emperor Ling?
Or wait a little longer?
There's no need to rush.
On the other side, Mingkong began to retreat early, preparing for a breakthrough.
A month passed quickly.
Lolo, Black Cat and Octopus were sitting at the door, looking at the sky, looking very bored.
Now is a critical period for Mu Lingjiu. They will not leave and must protect Mu Lingjiu.
Lolo was eating the nectar.
"Little Purple Gold Dragon and Little Sky Patrol are out for training. Are you worried, Bazhua?"
Bazhua shook his head, "Don't worry."
"Why aren't you worried about your own son?" Lolo stared at Bazhua with curiosity.
"Xiaolong has many dragon people secretly protecting him. What is there to worry about?" Bazhua disagreed.
Luo Luo clicked his tongue twice, "That's right."
Then he turned to look at the black cat and said, "Why do you follow us every day? The master is in seclusion now, and he won't give you any fish even if you stay here."
The black cat turned its head, its black eyes cold and gloomy, and stared at Lolo with a warning look.
Luo Luo said carelessly, "What I said is not wrong."
The black cat snorted and walked away with its little legs.
Bazhua couldn't help but say to Luo Luo, "Why are you talking about it? You know it has a bad temper."
Luo Luo smiled and said, "I just don't like him. The master is just very nice to him for no reason."
"Actually..." Bazhua thought for a moment and said, "It treats its master well."
"Really? Just a little friendship." Lolo disagreed.
After the black cat left, it quickly headed in one direction and arrived at a mansion like lightning.
There was a middle-aged man in the mansion, who immediately went to greet the black cat after seeing it.
"Young Master, you're back."
The black cat hummed, still in cat form, standing in the most handy position.
"How are the preparations going?"
"Almost there. There are still two more holes of Netherworld Energy. After they explode, the formation pattern will be activated." The middle-aged man said politely, "Do you want to go over now?"
"No hurry." Black Cat waved his hand, "I have other things to do."
"Yes." The middle-aged man saluted respectfully.
The black cat turned around and threw out a bunch of magical instruments and treasures from the space, "These are for you."
"Thank you, Young Master." The middle-aged man immediately thanked him.
The black cat didn't say anything else and turned away.
The middle-aged man looked at the things in his hands and became very excited. These things were extremely precious cultivation items, and their cultivation in the Talent Hall would be greatly improved.
After leaving, the black cat went straight to a mountain.
The mountain is located in a pure place, surrounded by Buddhist light. There is a Buddhist temple deep in the mountains, and Mingkong is working hard to break through inside the temple.
However, this breakthrough failed again.
Mingkong has tried several times, but each time he failed to break through.
He was filled with resentment, and some bad emotions gradually grew in his heart.
A black cat appeared in front of Mingkong.
It took graceful steps and landed gently in front of him.
"Do you want me to help you?" asked the black cat.
