1258 The Fall of the Grotto-Heaven Masters, The Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom (2)

Zhou Shu looked thoughtful. If what Mu Zhixing said was the truth, then the Black Emperor wouldn’t be able to come here for the time being. Since he couldn’t come over, what was the point of Cao Chenyang seeking death?

He didn’t believe that the Black Emperor would suddenly have a death wish after possessing Cao Chenyang’s soul and hiding in this world for so many years.

He must have a great plan. This plan was so great that he had to sacrifice his own life!

Zhou Shu didn’t know much about Cao Chenyang’s main body, the Black Emperor.

In this world, the only person who knew the Black Emperor to a certain extent was Mu Zhixing. This was why Zhou Shu had come to Mu Zhixing.

“Mu Zhixing, you’re a smart person. Let me ask you. The wisp of the Black Emperor’s soul hid in this world for more than ten thousand years. After you came, he suddenly appeared and made such a suicidal move. Tell me, why did he do that?” Zhou Shu’s eyes were like torches as he locked onto Mu Zhixing.

Mu Zhixing looked aggrieved. “I’m innocent, Your Highness.

“I really have nothing to do with the Black Emperor. The Black Emperor is an existence similar to my Eastern Celestial Thearch. How can I come into contact with him?”

He complained, “Although I came from the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, I’ve really never interacted with the Black Emperor. I really don’t know why he did that!”

He said with certainty. “Coincidence, it must be a coincidence!

“There’s no link between me coming here and him seeking death. Your Highness, you have to believe me.

“I’m a vanguard general under the Eastern Celestial Thearch of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom. Our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom has always been at odds with the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. Our Eastern Celestial Thearch and the Black Emperor are archenemies. Your Highness, I’m on your side.”

Mu Zhixing’s desire to live was incomparably strong. Zhou Shu had only said one sentence, and he explained for so long.

“Are you sure you don’t know?” Zhou Shu said coldly.

“I’m sure,” Mu Zhixing said with certainty. “Your Highness, a person like the Black Emperor wouldn’t do things without reason. If you ask me, I’m sure he has other motives for doing that.”

He nodded as if confirming himself.

Zhou Shu could tell without him saying anything. Otherwise, why would he come looking for Mu Zhixing?

He pondered for a moment before saying, “Mu Zhixing, come with me.”

“Huh? You don’t need me to go mining with Yao Qing?” Mu Zhixing said in surprise.

“No need.” Zhou Shu said solemnly, “Follow me to the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom!”

Zhou Shu’s expression was grave. His incarnation had gone to the outside world with Zhang San and Wang Xuanyi for so long, but there was no news at all.

Now that one thing after another had happened, Zhou Shu couldn’t sit still anymore.

Coupled with Cao Chenyang’s sudden actions, he decided to make a trip personally to the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom!

Mu Zhixing was the one who talked about five leaves blooming on one flower. Zhou Shu still needed to confirm if it was true.

Mu Zhixing’s cultivation was very high. Now that the Grotto-Heaven Masters in this world had already died in battle, once he left, no one could suppress Mu Zhixing anymore.

Moreover, he needed a guide on this trip, so he decided to bring Mu Zhixing along.

“To the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom?” Mu Zhixing said in surprise. “Don’t, Your Highness. It wasn’t easy for me to come from the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. That’s not a good place. The people of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom are very unfriendly—”

“Cut the crap. Are you going or not?” Killing intent surged from Zhou Shu’s body.

Mu Zhixing complained, “Fine, I’ll go. Does a worker deserve no dignity…”

“Master!” Yao Qing finally couldn’t take it anymore. “The Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom is full of danger. Let me go!”

Yao Qing gritted his teeth as his body trembled slightly.

When he was Bai Yue in his previous life, he had gone to the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.

Although this part of his memory was blurry now, the fear that ran deep into his soul still haunted him.

Every time he thought of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Even so, when he heard that Zhou Shu was taking the risk to go personally, he couldn’t help standing out.

Zhou Shu shook his head. “It’s precisely because there are so many dangers that I want to go myself. Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. Not many people in this world can kill me.”

He was confident in his strength.

He didn’t dare to say anything else, but at least in terms of survival, he felt that it wasn’t a problem.

“Master—”

“There’s no need to say anything else. I’ve made up my mind. Stay behind to guard the house. When I’m not around, you have to help Deputy Pavilion Master Shi keep an eye on the Huaxia Pavilion.”

Zhou Shu said solemnly, “I’ll leave the Myriad Worlds Communication Ball behind. Continue forging Myriad Worlds Communication Tokens. I hope that everyone in the human race can have one.”

“We will,” Yao Qing said after a moment of silence.

Beside him, Mu Zhixing sighed. He had already been prepared to endure humiliation and become a miner. Why did he suddenly have to go to the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom?

He wasn’t willing to go to the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom at all.

“Your Highness, even if we go to the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, we might not be able to see the Black Emperor…” Mu Zhixing struggled. “What if we go to the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom and the Black Emperor comes here? Wouldn’t we miss him?”

“Didn’t you say that he can’t come in for the time being?” Zhou Shu said coldly.

Mu Zhixing was stunned. “That’s just a guess.”

“Mu Zhixing, know your place. You’re just a worker. I don’t need you to tell me what to do,” Zhou Shu said. “If I say we’re going to the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, then we’re going to the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom!”

“Alright, whatever you say,” Mu Zhixing said helplessly.

Zhou Shu looked at Mu Zhixing coldly and suddenly said, “Before we set off, Mu Zhixing, do you have anything to tell me?”

“No.” Mu Zhixing was at a loss. Are you bullying me?

“Remnant of the Heavenly Court!” Zhou Shu said word by word.

Cao Chenyang had said these words repeatedly before he died.

“Huh?!” Mu Zhixing rolled his eyes inwardly. The Black Emperor is the Black Emperor, and I am me. Why do I have to answer for everything he does?

“It has something to do with the Freedom Transformation Technique. Didn’t I say before that there was a Lingxiao Treasure Palace in the past? The envoy of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace cultivated the Freedom Transformation Technique, and the Lingxiao Treasure Palace belongs to a faction called the Heavenly Court.”

Mu Zhixing said seriously, “The Black Emperor might think that you’re a descendant of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace’s envoy, so he said that you’re a remnant of the Heavenly Court.”

“Is that so?” Zhou Shu’s expression was cold.

“What else could it be? The Heavenly Court has been gone for so many years. The Black Emperor is too petty,” Mu Zhixing muttered.

Zhou Shu could tell that Mu Zhixing’s behavior was somewhat abnormal when he mentioned the Heavenly Court.

But since he was unwilling to say it, even if Zhou Shu forced him, what he said might not be the truth.

Zhou Shu temporarily put this thought aside. The most important thing now was to figure out Cao Chenyang’s true goal.

At the very least, he had to confirm if the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom had really found a way to invade this world.

Or could it be that the training battlefield opened by Cang Hao had really become a bridge for the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom to invade this world?!

Zhou Shu didn’t ask further and said coldly, “Lead the way.”

Mu Zhixing sighed and walked away helplessly. “I’ll tell you in advance. I’m not sure if we can return to the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom via the route I took when I came. If we don’t make it there, you can’t blame me.”

Zhou Shu said indifferently, “As long as you don’t deliberately lead me the wrong way, I won’t be unreasonable.”

“Then don’t worry. I, Mu Zhixing, am a vanguard general under the Eastern Celestial Thearch of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom. Would I take the wrong path? That’s impossible. As a vanguard general, I, Mu Zhixing, have never taken the wrong path!”
