"You... why are you still alive?" Mu Hongxiu looked surprised when she saw Mo Xiu who appeared.
Mo Xiu looked at Mu Hongxiu condescendingly, and asked faintly, "Do you really want me to die?"
"No, no, I..." Mu Hongxiu said incoherently.
Mo Xiu knew Mu Hongxiu's true thoughts, but he didn't care.
Li Xuanzong took fifteen Storm Pills in one breath with the cultivation base of the Early-stage of the Profound Spirit Realm. His True Energy was extremely explosive, and the destructive power produced was naturally terrifying, but that still did nothing to Mo Xiu.
If he could be bombed to death so easily, he would have died for many times, and it would be impossible for him to come and die with Li Xuanzong.
Mu Hongxiu could felt that her mind was seen through, she simply stopped explaining, just said, "You want to kill me?"
Mo Xiu: "It depends on whether you want to live or die."
Mu Hongxiu was taken aback for a moment, and said quickly, "Of course I want to live."
After finishing speaking, she couldn't help asking, "Is it because I gave you a Glutinous Eclipse Fruit before?"
Mo Xiu avoided answering this question, he just reminded her, "Life may sometimes be more painful than death."
"That's better than death," Mu Hongxiu didn't care. "Once dead, all is dead. And if alive, there is hope in life."
Mo Xiu shook his head slightly and did not speak, he just raised put his hand on Mu Hongxiu's head lightly, and Mu Hongxiu immediately screamed, "Ahh…."
After a while, a gray-white thing was pulled out of Mu Hong's sleeves.
Mo Xiu's Divine Consciousness landed on the gray-white thing, leaving a few marks of Divine Consciousness, and then with a light tap, the gray-white thing returned to Mu Hongxiu's body.
Mu Hongxiu felt as if she had walked from the edge of hell. The panic and pain left her with lingering fears, cold sweat poured down on her forehead, and most of her clothes were soaked.
She didn't know what Mo Xiu did to her, she closed her eyes quickly and probed her body carefully, but after searching for a long time, she found nothing unusual.
However, she felt that there was something in her body, like a sharp blade, hanging high above her soul, making her uneasy.
"Don't look for it, you can't find it," Mo Xiu's voice rang.
Mu Hongxiu opened her eyes, struggled to get up from the ground, looked at Mo Xiu, and said with an uneasy expression, "What did you do to me?"
"I didn't do any tricks, just to make you obedient. From now on, your every move is under my control. Once I find out that you have done something unfavorable to me, I will let you die a terrible death."
After Mo Xiu finished speaking, he turned around and walked outside without even looking at Mu Hongxiu.
At the same time, the eight Shadow Demon Guards emerged from the shadow of Mo Xiu and slaughtered everyone in the Alchemy League's residence.
Seeing the people of the Alchemy League fall one after another, Mu Hongxiu wanted to help, but her body didn't listen to her orders, she could only tremble and let the people of the Alchemy League be slaughtered.
After a while, she looked in the direction Mo Xiu was leaving, and muttered to herself hatefully, "Devil! You are a great devil!"
As soon as her voice fell, a sharp pain struck from the depths of her soul, causing her to stagger to the ground and roll over in pain for the second time.
...
Mo Xiu did not kill Mu Hongxiu, but was not because she gave him a Glutinous Eclipse Fruit.
Even if Mu Hongxiu didn't give him the Glutinous Eclipse Fruit before, he would still forcibly take it out, so this was not enough to let him let Mu Hongxiu go.
The real reason was that he felt that Mu Hongxiu could play a little bit of use in the future.
When would it be in the future, what was her use, he still didn't know now, but he had such a strong feeling.
Even if he was the Everlasting Demon King in his previous life, he would normally not have such a feeling, but once such a feeling appeared, he would often be very accurate.
Originally, he didn't have to kill Mu Hongxiu. Since keeping Mu Hongxiu might be useful, then keep Mu Hongxiu.
Of course, if he didn't kill, it didn't mean he could let Mu Hongxiu go easily.
He had just killed Mu Hongxiu's fellow members, so he would not give Mu Hongxiu the slightest chance of revenge, even if it was only a possibility, he would keep her immobile in the cradle.
It was fine to not kill Mu Hongxiu, but the Yan Kingdom did not really need the Alchemy League, whether it was now or in the future.
When Li Xuanzong and others died, the remaining people in the Alchemy League were not worried, and the eight Shadow Demon Guards would be able to solve them all.
When Mo Xiu returned to the palace, the eight Shadow Demon Guards flew back to him, got into the shadow behind him, and disappeared.
At this time, Lin Jie came over and said to Mo Xiu, "Your third uncle Mo Miao sent a messenger to Yan Du, saying that there is important news to report. Her Majesty the Empress asked me to come over and ask you if I want to meet him together."
Mo Xiu hesitated for a while before he nodded, and went to the hall with Lin Jie, and soon saw Yan Ran and the messenger sent by Mo Miao.
"Master Mo Xiu," the messenger hurriedly bowed and saluted Mo Xiu.
Mo Xiu didn't know the name of this messenger, but knew that this person was from Mo Family because he still had some impression of this person's appearance.
He raised his hand and asked, "What important news?"
The messenger replied, "According to the information obtained by the spies on the border, the Great Rime Kingdom in the north and the Liang Kingdom in the northwest are gathering heavy forces, and they seem to be preparing to attack our Yan Kingdom. Now, several days have passed, I am afraid that the army of the two countries will soon be assembled. The third Master relays the question to ask if we should fight them or what."
"So fast?" Yan Ran frowned, looking a little surprised.
It was not surprising that the two countries were gathering heavy troops to attack the Yan Kingdom. Not only these two countries, but several other countries should also be gathering heavy troops.
It was just that the situation in the Yan Kingdom today was not very distinct. Only when the Azure Prefecture side was controlled by the Mo Miao of the Mo Family, would he send someone to Yan Capital to report the news as soon as he found out the news.
What really surprised her was how long did the two core disciples of the Seraphic Sword Sect die? A few days ago, and it was estimated that the Seraphic Sword Sect had just received the news, but why did the armies of the bordering nations begin to gather already?
Mo Xiu quickly understood that it was not that the elder of the Seraphic Sword Sect that had already started killing over, but that the countries around the Yan Kingdom had received the news that Mo Xiu had killed two core disciple of the Seraphic Sword Sects.
Now that they knew the relevant news, they must also know that the elders of the Seraphic Sword Sect would come to kill Mo Xiu, and would make the tens of thousands of armies of their countries crush the entire Yan Kingdom.
In order to dispatch the troops in time and get a share of the Yan Kingdom, their nations must assemble their troops before the elders of the Seraphic Sword Sect were dispatched. When the elders of the Seraphic Sword Sect arrived, they would immediately enter the territory of the Yan Kingdom with an order. Then the whole Yan Kingdom would be divided...
For Mo Xiu, hundreds of thousands of troops were actually no big deal, even if the entire Yan Kingdom was leveled down, it still couldn't do anything to him.
On the contrary, it was the elder of the Seraphic Sword Sect and the elder of the Alchemy League that he now had to guard against, otherwise, with his current strength, even if he couldn't die, he probably couldn't deal with them.
According to his speculation, the elders of the Seraphic Sword Sect and the Alchemy League should not have entered the territory of Yan Kingdom.
Originally, he planned to deploy the corresponding means in a day or two. Now that the army of the surrounding countries was about to be assembled, he could only respond in advance.
Thinking of this, he said to Yan Ran, "You come with me."
Yan Ran was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Where to?"
"The border," Mo Xiu said, and then reminded, "remember to bring Mountain and River Order."
...
The Yan Kingdom had a large border. After all, there were more than a dozen countries bordering the Yan Kingdom.
The border Mo Xiu mentioned was certainly not another place, but the border of Azure Prefecture.
It would take at least two days for Mo Xiu to fly from Yan Capital to Azure Prefecture's Fu City.
However, there was a Teleportation Array arranged by Mo Xiu in the palace to Sun Martial City Mo's mansion. As long as he took the Teleportation Array to Sun Martial City, it would only take an hour or two to go to Azure Prefecture's Fu City.
Of course, Fu City was not a border city.
The real border cities were Maple Leaf City and Snowdrift City.
There were some villages and towns to the north of Maple Leaf City, about 30 kilometers later was the border, and the other end of the border was the Great Rime Kingdom.
The situation in Snowdrift City was similar, except that its neighbor was the Liang Kingdom.
Mo Xiu took Yan Ran to Fu City first, met with Mo Miao, learned more details, and then took Yan Ran to Maple Leaf City.
The residents of the villages and towns outside Maple Leaf City had been transferred into Maple Leaf City. At this moment, those villages and towns were occupied by people from the Great Rime Kingdom.
Even the army of the Great Rime Kingdom approached all the way, and the soldiers approached the city, already stationed outside Maple Leaf City.
The elder of the Seraphic Sword Sect had not yet arrived. Naturally, it was impossible for the army of the Great Rime Kingdom to attack the city immediately, but looking at the densely packed camps and countless soldiers, there were at least one million of them. There were not many defenders in Maple Leaf City, so the people in Maple Leaf City were panicking.
Although a small group of people knew about the arrival of Mo Xiu and Yan Ran, they did not publicize them.
At this moment, the two were standing on the city wall, looking down at the army of the Great Rime Kingdom outside the city.
"The Great Rime Kingdom alone has assembled so many troops, then the other countries are estimated to take out a lot more troops. Now, it is troublesome," Yan Ran sighed, very sad.
After all, she was the Empress of the Yan Kingdom today, and seeing the tens of thousands of armies of many countries crushing the entire Yan Kingdom, how could she not worry?
Mo Xiu didn't take it seriously. He observed for a while and said to Yan Ran, "Take out the Mountain and River Order."
Yan Ran took out the token of Mountain and River Order without saying a word, but still couldn't help asking, "Do you want to use the Mountain and River Order to deal with these surrounding countries? Isn't it mentioned that the Mountain and River Order is only valid within the range of the map on the token?"
"Maple Leaf City is still within the range of the map..."
Before Mo Xiu finished speaking, he noticed something, looked into the distance, and saw a figure flying with a sword quickly.
The soldiers of the Great Rime Kingdom outside the city also quickly spotted the figure. They knelt down on the ground and shouted, "We have seen Elder Shi."
Hundreds of thousands or even millions of people knelt down and shouted together. The scene was not ordinary and spectacular, but Empress Yan Ran was a little moved when she saw it.
But she soon understood that this Elder Shi should be the elder of the Seraphic Sword Sect, but she didn't know why this person came so quickly.
