"Now, where are we going?" Dongfang Ruyi asked Mu Xuan Yin with a lazy tone.

Dongfang Ruyi never actually cared about the safety of all these people in this imperial palace if his Yin'er wanted to leave then he would gladly bring her away from here right away.

However, Mu Xuan Yin did not think so!

First, she was really sure that this was only the beginning; the last act should be the tsunami that would engulf the entire city in the end so she must find the main cause to stop it at all cost.

Second, she already exhausted all of her Helping Points and riddled with debt so she really needs to complete this mission to pay it all back and replenish back it soon. 

The point was this mission really important for her and she must complete it!

'Beside…' Mu Xuan Yin glanced at Dongfang Ruyi and Zhong Yi with a cunning smile on her face.

'It's really a pity if I don't use these two OP cheat level characters in my party to the fullest, right?!' 

"Let's go to the Imperial Court first and save the emperor!" Mu Xuan Yin put back her serious face said to Dongfang Ruyi.

Dongfang Ruyi could only sigh and nodded to Mu Xuan Yin. It was not that he did not want to help but he really afraid that his Yin'er would go too far and get hurt. 'Whatever, I only need to stick close to her then! As for the other people? Who cares!'

There was a countless black skeleton on the way, just seeing it made anyone scalp went numb.

But Dongfang Ruyi and Zhong Yi already passed through many life and death battles; this kind of battle was too easy for them and could only be described as two dragons stomped on the countless ants. 

The Core Formation Stage was three entire stages above the Qi Condensation Stage after all!

One slash and the road would be cleared out from all obstacles. Although all the black skeleton knights would reform again and again after a few seconds being crushed but at least Mu Xuan Yin and co could still easily move around.

However, it was not the same for other people.

Many mutilated corpses littered around the way. Most of them were the maids and patrolling soldiers.

This was the first time Mu Xuan Yin saw this kind of gory sight in her entire life. Even though she already in this world for several months, she still never killed any humans.

She only killed demonic beasts before and in her mind, she only imagined them as a pig or chicken so the impact on her mentality was really small. 

But today for the first time she learned, weaklings lives in this world was truly worthless! Only the strong ones could decide their own fate and if he or she was strong enough, they could even decide the other's fate too!

'I must become stronger, far stronger! My growth is too slow right now! Resource… I need more resources!'

Mu Xuan Yin puked out several times on the way.

Her pale face made Dongfang Ruyi's heart ache and he said: "Yin'er, there is no need for you to push yourself. How about this… I will tell Zhong Yi to go and rescue that… Old man and I will bring you to a safe place?"

"No need! We will only waste more time and efficiency like that! I am not that weak… I will get used to this soon." Mu Xuan Yin said weakly but her eyes shone with determination.

The light bulb on Mu Xuan Yin's mind flashed on and she quickly pulled out the communication talisman.

"What's that?" Dongfang Ruyi asked curiously.

"Communication talisman… How can I use this by the way?" Mu Xuan Yin rubbed her forehead in annoyance. 

There was no button or touch screen so how could it be used to dial someone like a phone?!

"I know that is communication talisman… What I want to know is where you get it and who are you trying to call?" Dongfang Ruyi had a really bad feeling about this and asked with an urging tone.

"My master, of course! He is a formation master so cracking this formation would be a piece of cake for him!" Mu Xuan Yin answer confidently likes it was a matter of course.

There were eight levels of sub-profession, from lowest to highest: apprentice, assistant, novice, primary, intermediate, advanced, master, grandmaster.

Usually, cultivators would reach bottleneck at some point and they would use their time to learn some sub-profession.

There were countless sub-profession in this world, for example: blacksmith, alchemist, poisonist, physician, etc.

Nangong Liuchen was a formation master. Even the grand formation that covered the entire Holy Light Sect was one of his creations.

While Dongfang Ruyi was a disguiser master. Different from the formation master, the disguiser master's forte was assassination. They could easily disguise as anyone and infiltrate any place to collect information or kill anyone without living any trace.

Unfortunately, Dongfang Ruyi's sub-profession proved to be useless in the current situation so Mu Xuan Yin decided to call for her highest backer, her sugar dad… master, Nangong Liuchen.

Dongfang Ruyi's expression turned dark in an instant as an intense killing intent leaked out from his body.

Even the black skeleton knights could feel it as they shuddered in fear and moved back a few steps.

Zhong Yi also too scared to say anything right now and moved back a few steps along with all the black skeletons.

Only the clueless Mu Xuan Yin still busied herself tinkering with the communication talisman in her hands.

The gloomy aura permeated the air and the atmosphere grew heavier.

It was as if a girlfriend tried to call her ex-boyfriend for help when facing a group of thugs while she still together with his current boyfriend by her side.

Dongfang Ruyi yanked the communication talisman from Mu Xuan Yin forcefully.

"Hey! What are you doing?! Give it back to me!" Mu Xuan Yin yelled angrily at Dongfang Ruyi.

Dongfang Ruyi used his dark Qi to incinerate the communication talisman in his hand to dust.

"You… You… Why are you…" Mu Xuan Yin too stunned and really did not know what to say anymore. She also did not understand why Dongfang Ruyi looks super angry to her right now. She only tried to help, ok?!

"You still owe me two requests, remember? This is the first one!" Dongfang Ruyi said cheerfully and walked back in front of her like nothing happen. It was scary how fast he could change his expression and mood.

Mu Xuan Yin: "….." Just how narrow-minded this Demon King really is?!

Mu Xuan Yin could only swallow her anger for the time being and move on to think her next step.

However, not long after, they managed to found the other survivors on their way and Mu Xuan Yin knew this person quite well.

It was the second prince, Duan Fei Ye, and his people. 

But the situation was not looking good for them and they barely could hold on right now.
