Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 260 Mu Mood

The ancient cypress trees, some several meters tall, grow in clusters, with thick black vines coiling around them, blooming one after another with pale yellow carnivorous flowers.

They flew through the forest.

The arrival of the two awakened a creature that had been dormant for thousands of years, and enormous vines suddenly pierced towards them!

Red Moon glanced at it, her smile chilling. "Haven't been here for years, have you demons forgotten me?"

The familiar tone and the familiar face startled Tengjian, causing him to freeze for a moment before exploding out of thin air!

Those creatures hidden in the green forest obediently lay dormant, feigning death.

Red Moon snorted coldly and vanished in a streak of light!

Soon after, they arrived at an open area.

Three giant trees reach for the sky, their green vitality stretching endlessly. At the ground, a golden coffin is buried inside the hollow of one of the trees.

Entangled by heavy chains.

Inside the coffin, three humanoid creatures lay dormant.

Strangely, their entire bodies were green, like emerald wood, but their faces were like those of normal humans, with clear and beautiful features, and their appearances were all of superior quality.

As soon as Gongzi Qi arrived, he heard a female voice that was unfriendly to him, "The Holy Son of Chaoyang has not come to my Muxin Realm for many years. What is his intention now that he has appeared?"

The young man looked at the third wooden coffin on the right, "The situation in Huanyu is turbulent, and some things seem to be getting restless."

The creature inside the coffin couldn't open its eyes, yet a faint voice still emanated from it, "What does this have to do with us?"

Gongzi Qi's lips curled slightly. "Is that so?"

"Tens of thousands of years ago, when the Heavenly Dao exterminated all wood-type spirits, the three of you escaped the calamity because you inherited the destiny of Heaven and Earth and for some special reasons."

"And now something is attempting to recreate the so-called 'glory' of ten thousand years ago, and is about to wreak havoc on the world."

"Guess what, the Dao energy of heaven and earth that you've painstakingly loosened up over tens of thousands of years... will you continue to stifle all the vitality of the wood-type spirit race, or will you wait for the clouds to part and the sun to rise...?"

Gongzi Qi turned around and tilted his head slightly. "You should know better than me how to make the choice."

The man finally lost his composure and said,

"What do you want to ask?"

The young man's slightly cool gaze fell upon them, and his lips parted slightly.

"The dead flower that carries the spirit."

A parasitic dead flower!?

The voice became uneasy, "You... how did you know?!"

How did the Chaoyang Holy Palace know that the Parasitic Dead Flower was actually a ghostly demon?

No...impossible!

They burned all the ancient books back then!

With just one word, Gongzi Qi understood. He smiled again and said, "This is no longer your era. The Mandate of Heaven has appeared, and everything else is just a passing cloud. Perhaps you should consider my original suggestion."

He turned his head and looked straight ahead, no longer lingering.

"Walk."

The two left Mu Xinjing.

Inside the Temple of the Holy Son.

Gongzi Qi looked at the bamboo slip in his hand, lost in thought.

"Your Highness, Chen Shuye and the others have arrived."

Sha Ling came in and said.

"Let them in."

A few moments later, Chen Shuye, Wei Cishu, and Shangguan Fu entered the main hall.

"Your Highness."

Several people bowed with their right hand on their left shoulder.

"Something has happened in Qinghe. Get ready and come with me."

"Qinghe?"

Wei Cishu asked, "Your Highness, the Central Plains Academy Tournament is about to start, and I'd like to go and join in the fun. Why would I go to Qinghe?"

"Yeah, what's so interesting about the academy tournament over there?"

The chubby boy chimed in.

Chen Shuye noticed the change in his words and asked, "Your Highness, what happened in Qinghe?"

Prince Qi handed the bamboo slips in his hand to them.

"See for yourself."

Chen Shuye accepted it.

After a dozen or so breaths, he was slightly surprised.

"The Ghostly Demons, a race that was exterminated by the Heavenly Dao among seven powerful beings in ancient times, have had their true form unknown from ancient times to the present. Is what this bamboo slip says about the Spirit-Binding Dead Flower from the Ghostly Realm?"

"Your Highness, how credible is it?"

"What? Let me see!"

The chubby boy took the bamboo slip and asked incredulously, "Where did this information come from? Wasn't it said to have remained a secret for tens of thousands of years?"

"what?"

"A ghostly demon? Really?!"

Wei Cishu also came over to take a look.

Prince Qi Dao,

"This journey is dangerous; you must not be careless."

Chen Shuye raised an eyebrow, slowly crossed his arms, and his dark blue eyes were full of mockery. "Your Highness, do you mean that Qinghe is another trial for the three of us?"

Trial?

Shangguan Fu looked at Gongzi Qi pitifully, "No! The three of us fighting a half-demon god? Your Highness, aren't you sending us to our deaths?"

What level is the other party?

What is my own level?

He still has some sense of right and wrong.

Red Moon scoffed coldly, mockingly saying...

"Afraid of death? Then hand over the Wind Chasing Token, and I'll hang it at the sect entrance for the capable to claim!"

Shangguan Fu was startled and hurriedly covered his token before taking a large step back.

"No, no, I'll go, okay?!"

Gongzi Qi put away the bamboo slips, placed his hands on his knees, clasped his fingers together, and looked at them, saying, "I will bring Hongyue and Guxi with me on this trip. You do your best, and they will handle the aftermath."

Incidentally... he needed to confirm one thing.

The chubby boy breathed a sigh of relief, "That's more like it!"

Chen Shuye glanced at Hongyue, cleared his throat, and said, "Your Highness, I seem to remember... that Elder Gu and Elder Long were partners? Isn't it a bit inappropriate to separate them like this?"

Gongzi Qi glanced at him and shook his head helplessly.

Hongyue slightly lifted her eyelids.

"You want a beating?"

Chen Shuye looked completely innocent.

Just asking.

Hongyue snorted coldly and said nothing more.
