Lord Holy Sword is unreliable again.

Wang Hong sorted through the relevant information. According to what the Holy Sword said, the most important thing about the Emperor Warrior is its spiritual energy core. The strength of the spiritual energy core directly determines the Emperor Warrior's combat power!

Currently, he possesses a fragmented ninth-order spiritual energy core from Tianxuan 18, an eighth-order Silent Yuan core from Mo Jie, and a seventh-order Silent Yuan core currently installed inside the armor. However, according to the Holy Sword's scan, the energy of this seventh-order Silent Yuan core is almost exhausted.

That's right, the Chime Clan's Silent Core can be used as a power source!

However, unlike the spiritual energy cores created by the Heavenly Craft Pavilion, the Silent Origin Core is a dead object taken from a corpse and cannot absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own. The spiritual energy core, on the other hand, can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own and convert it into nano-level spiritual energy for use.

The light on Emperor Knight's chest grew brighter and brighter, and strange patterns appeared on its surface, gradually pulsating with Wang Hong's breathing.

Following that mysterious sensation, Wang Hong had a thought, and the Emperor Knight flew towards him like silk.

Wang Hong hurriedly took off his black robe, and Emperor Knight wrapped him up completely before putting the black robe back on.

[Initial connection established; initial donning and fusion time: one hour.]

[Emperor Warrior's Current Core: Incomplete Seventh-Tier Silent Origin Core]

[Emperor Warrior's current attack power rating: Late Foundation Establishment; Defense power rating: Peak Foundation Establishment]

Then Wang Hong became furious! Late Foundation Establishment stage? If Lu Qingyuan hadn't taken his sixth-order spiritual energy core, he would already have the strength to deal with a Golden Core stage cultivator!

[Swordholder's Overall Combat Strength Rating: Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage]

Wang Hong was even angrier. "Did I wear the Emperor Warrior outfit and lower the Emperor Warrior's combat power?"

good very good!

Seeing Wang Hong dressed in these strange clothes, his face a mixture of laughter and tears, Yun Ying couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What is this thing? Why do you have that expression?"

Wang Hong shook his head bitterly: "You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

Yun Ying couldn't help but show a hint of annoyance on her face. She was the deputy hall master of Fengyun Palace, with a family of profound learning and knowledge of ancient and modern times since childhood. She was also a top expert in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. How could she be so underestimated?

But she really didn't recognize what was in front of her...

At this moment, Wang Hong suddenly thought of a question: How could the spiritual energy core of Tianxuan No. 18, a treasure produced by Tianxuan Pavilion, be only grade nine? Could it be that its incomplete state affected its grade?

So what grade should it originally be?

The door was suddenly flung open with a bang.

"Your Highness, something terrible has happened!"

Wang Hong was terrified, his mind momentarily blank. Judging from the voice, it was the same person who had gone to kill Qiongqi and frame Huang Ji!

Lu Shu stared at Wang Hong and Yun Ying with a puzzled expression: "Your Highness, what's going on?"

Wang Hong, his brows furrowed and eyes blazing, was about to launch an attack when he saw the boy looking at him with adoration, saying, "Your Highness is indeed a heroic young man! You can even tame such a wild female leopard!"

Name: Lu Shu; Race: Spirit Fox Clan

[Cultivation Level: Mid-Foundation Establishment]

[Sensing a small amount of divine beast bloodline...]

Wang Hong was pondering whether he should try to kill the other party, who was at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

No, Emperor Warrior hasn't fully fused yet, and the Holy Sword doesn't have much energy left. Killing him would be pointless and might even attract the Lu family's attention!

The most urgent thing is to find an evacuation point as soon as possible! How do we get out of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's main hall?

This Lu Shu is a member of the Spirit Fox Clan. The fact that he can enter the ancestral hall suggests that he holds a high status in the Lu family!

A plan formed in Wang Hong's mind as he carefully recalled Mo Jie's tone. A hint of arrogance played on his lips as he spoke calmly, "Is this the first time you've met me?"

Then, she beckoned to Yunying, who immediately understood Wang Hong's intention. She gracefully walked to Wang Hong, tenderly straightening his slightly disheveled clothes, and then, like a wife, said, "Brother Jie, I've heard that the Spirit Fox Clan is in chaos. Do you really have to go outside? I'll miss you!"

Wang Hong casually pulled Yun Ying aside: "Enough! Women are always so slow!" A trace of Ji Yuan's aura emanated from him as he addressed Lu Shu: "What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic? You're embarrassing me!"

"Your Highness, there are so many people outside!" Lu Shu was very sensitive to Ji Yuan's aura, and he stammered, "They're fighting fiercely with the clan leader and elders, and I even saw Lord Qing!"

"Let's fight then, I expected this!" Wang Hong's eyes narrowed, a mysterious smile playing on his lips. "Let's go, take me to Lu Qingyuan's bridal chamber, I'm going to take advantage of this!"

Lu Shu looked terrified: "Your Highness! You mustn't act rashly!" He secretly glanced at Yun Ying's expression and found that Yun Ying seemed unmoved, which made him admire Prince Mo even more.

"You said the Qiongqi Ji family is our target, but Lu Qingyuan is Ji Duanyi's fiancée!"

"Enough! I just need to check on her condition. The wedding absolutely cannot go wrong! Stop talking nonsense and lead the way!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Lu Feng relaxed. This Prince Mo was unpredictable and twisted. He had just forced himself to say a few words of advice, and now he dared not say anything more. He took the lead and went outside.

Wang Hong cursed inwardly, "If only you had come a little later, I would have needed another hour to transform into Emperor Warrior."

Should I have him wait outside for me for an hour?

Wang Hong shook off his complicated thoughts, gave Yun Ying a look, and the two followed Lu Shu out.

Outside the door was the area where Foundation Establishment stage divine beasts were imprisoned. Wang Hong looked in the direction of Huang Qianyu and found that she had already disappeared. It seemed that after Mo Jie recovered his body, he did not restore the restriction on Huang Qianyu's area, but instead chased after Wang Hong directly.

Where could she have gone? Does she know how to escape?

Noticing Wang Hong's gaze, Lu Shu said as if seeking credit, "Is Your Highness looking for that phoenix? I just saw her run to the first floor of the Xiaoyao Pavilion, so I took action to suppress her."

When the topic of suppression came up, a hint of unease appeared on his face. "Because I was in a hurry to see His Highness, I didn't release her."

Wang Hong said expressionlessly, "Well done. I've already absorbed the phoenix's divine blood. Keep up the good work, and you can have a taste later!"

"Yes, General Mo!" Lu Shu stood tall and raised his right fist forward, seemingly giving a military salute.

"What did you call me?"

"Your Highness, I am willing to serve you faithfully and wish you success in assuming the position of Grand General of the Heavenly Fiend Army!" Lu Shu's obsequiousness vanished, replaced by a solemn expression.

Wang Hong was shocked. The Heavenly Fiend Army? So the Heavenly Fiend Army was the army of the Qing tribe?

But the leader of the Heavenly Fiend Army doesn't have the Core of the Netherworld!

Without much thought, the three of them reached the first floor, where Wang Hong immediately spotted Huang Qianyu's dying figure.

A surge of anger suddenly rose from his heart, causing Wang Hong's black robe to flutter wildly in the wind.

"This is the suppression you spoke of?" Wang Hong suppressed his anger. If he didn't need Lu Shu to get out, he would have used the Holy Sword to kill him regardless of the consequences!

The blood on Huang Qianyu's phoenix wings had dried, but her phoenix feet had been violently twisted off and hung limply to the side, with faint golden blood dripping from the broken ends.

Her neck seemed to be broken as well, her phoenix crown hung low, and her half-open eyes stared intently at Mo Jie before losing all their luster.

The noble phoenix blood flowing continuously from her body shattered all her dignity, confidence, and pride.

Lu Shu's heart skipped a beat when he saw Wang Hong's expression, but he quickly regained his composure.

He had been used to the arrogant demeanor of these mythical beasts since childhood. They looked down on him and never gave him, Lu Shu, a second glance!

Lu Shu, the eldest son of the chief of the Northern Fox Clan, suffered cold treatment from his clansmen because he did not have the bloodline of a divine beast. Moreover, he was deprived of the position of young chief by Lu Qingyuan, an outsider!

He hated himself for not awakening the bloodline of a divine beast. Not to mention the bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox, he hadn't even awakened the relatively weak bloodline of the Black Jade Fox!

He hated the injustice of Heaven! He hated that Elder Jin's youngest daughter was a noble Crimson Flame Fox. Every time he saw others showing respect to the Crimson Flame Fox, his heart ached!

On that dark and stormy night, he was once again ambushed by the elder brother of the Crimson Flame Fox, who wanted to kill him and seize his position as the young clan leader.

Lord Mo Jie was like a savior, pulling him out of the abyss. It was he who bestowed upon him the unparalleled Spirit Devouring Technique, allowing him to barely retain a trace of divine beast bloodline!

It was only after Lu Shu presented the Soul Devouring Technique to his father that his father began to look at him with new respect!

On the very first day he obtained the Soul Devouring Technique, he immediately captured that arrogant little princess!

After Lord Mo Jie enjoyed her honor, Lu Shu obtained a trace of the sacred bloodline of the Crimson Flame Fox!

From then on, he finally came back to life.

Even the high and mighty phoenix, even the royal family among phoenixes, had to kneel at Lu Shu's feet.

He enjoyed the feeling.

He hated the weak more than he enjoyed the feeling.

With a blissful smile and dreamy eyes, Lu Shu looked at Wang Hong. "My lord, I saw the phoenix trying to escape, and in a fit of rage, I injured her. You should understand." He knelt on one knee, his words brimming with unwavering loyalty: "Phoenix, dragon, or even the legendary Kunpeng—no matter how rare the bloodline, even if it means facing mountains of knives and seas of fire, even if it means certain death, Lu Shu will obtain it for Your Highness!"

Wang Hong fell silent. After cultivating the Heavenly Heart Sacred Qi Technique, his feelings about emotions became even more profound.

He could sense Lu Shu's loyalty, but unfortunately, this man used that loyalty to betray his clan for personal gain.

The glazed lamp between Wang Hong's eyebrows shone brightly, and Huang Qianyu was enveloped in golden light. After shrinking, Huang Qianyu flew into Wang Hong's eyebrows and was placed next to the Human Emperor's Dao Fire. He then withdrew his attention and ordered the Holy Sword to find a way to take care of Huang Qianyu.

Lu Shu's face showed a hint of shock. "Your Highness, I'm increasingly unable to fathom your strength!"

Wang Hong looked at Lu Shu with a gratified expression and encouraged him, "You also need to improve quickly. I can only feel at ease if the Northern Fox Clan is under your control."

Lu Shu remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was delighted. Before Lu Shu could respond, Wang Hong said, "Alright, let's hurry up and leave. There are others waiting for me!"

"yes!"

The three exited the hidden door, and Wang Hong finally saw the enormous nine-tailed celestial fox again. Yun Ying stared at the massive figure and murmured, "A nine-tailed celestial fox? How is that possible..."

Upon hearing her words, Wang Hong couldn't help but look at Yun Ying with new respect. Was this girl really that amazing? She could recognize a figure from ten thousand years ago at a glance?

Lu Shu also looked at the huge black shadow, his expression complicated. He seemed to sigh slightly and said, "This was one of the most powerful ancestors of my Spirit Fox Clan, but now it has lost all its vitality and has been sleeping for countless years."

"Although I know he can't wake up, I still feel that everything I do is being watched by him silently..." Lu Shu said somewhat guiltily.

Upon hearing this, Wang Hong couldn't help but turn back to look at the nine-tailed celestial fox, which remained as still and silent as a stone.

But if it really is a stone, then who transported Wang Hong here?

Lu Shu walked to the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's side, took out a strange object from his hand, and slapped it towards the void. A strange wave came from it, and ripples appeared continuously. Silver-white light shone through the ripples, illuminating the dark hall.

"Your Highness, please!" Lu Shu bowed slightly, gesturing for Wang Hong to go first.

[A small teleportation array has been detected.]

Looking at the object in Lu Shu's hand, Wang Hong felt it looked familiar. That's right, Mo Jie also had this item among his belongings. It must be the key to unlocking the formation here.

Without hesitation, Wang Hong led Yun Ying inside.
