An emperor in his later years is summoned by his sister to save the nation's fate.

Hearing her brother's explanation, Lu Xueyao's tension finally subsided.

She nodded, lowered her guard, and replied, "I am Lu Xueyao."

Upon confirming her identity, Li Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief.

She immediately took out the antique storage ring from her bosom and handed it to Lu Xueyao.

"Sister Xueyao, this is something the Great Emperor entrusted me to deliver to you across realms."

This scene not only surprised the deacons present, but also caused an uproar in the Dragon Kingdom's live broadcast room, which had been watching the screen intently!

"Holy crap! Where did these people come from?"

"Judging from their monster-fighting techniques—the sword energy, the fire and lightning—it's completely unlike the style of us Chosen Ones! And they weren't players reported by the National Fortune System! Could the NPCs in this dungeon actually be cultivators?"

"Didn't you hear me?! That beautiful woman said the Emperor asked me to pass on this! Who is the Emperor? And they even know Lu Xueyao!"

"Holy crap! I get it! I'm just guessing, Lu Xueyao's awesome brother disappeared on Blue Star and fell into the underworld before he died."

After his death, he rose through the ranks to become the all-powerful Emperor of the Underworld! These cultivation NPCs are all his henchmen!

It must be said that although the information of the Blue Star audience was greatly inaccurate, their wildly imaginative guesses actually fit Lu Lixuan, the Great Emperor of the Heavenly Realm, to some extent!

After receiving the ring, Lu Li's voice rang out in his mind again: "Keep the ring safe. Inside are some seeds and defensive items that I prepared for you. Also, in this mining area instance, you can form an alliance with them. With these Dao-Slaying Realm fighters around, you can save yourself a lot of trouble."

"I understand, brother," Lu Xueyao replied in her heart, and then put the storage ring on her hand.

But at this moment.

The fish-dragon jade pendant that Lu Xueyao had been wearing at her waist suddenly emitted a dazzling light again without warning!

"Buzz—!"

With a strange fluctuation, a clear light screen was projected once again in front of everyone!

The scene displayed on the light screen was still the dark Black Mountain Mine.

But the protagonist at this moment is no longer as thin and frail as before.

A tall and aloof figure appeared in the light screen.

Although she still looks young, she has matured a lot compared to before.

He was dressed in a black robe stained with blood, and his body was filled with a murderous intent that almost materialized!

He was alone, speeding through the intricate mine shafts in his escape.

Behind him, nearly a hundred powerful demonic cultivators, each riding a flying sword, were relentlessly pursuing him!

These people were all dressed in the uniforms of inner disciples of the Yellow Spring Demon Sect, and each of them had greedy eyes. They were clearly determined to kill them and chased them all the way into the mine at any cost!

Upon seeing this scene, Li Qingyue, Zhao Jinhuan, and the others all gasped in shock.

Because they recognized the person being chased in the light screen at a glance!

That cold face, that unparalleled killing intent... that was none other than the young Eternal Night Demon Emperor.

"The Great Emperor... was actually hunted down like this back then?" Li Qingyue covered her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief.

In their minds, the Eternal Night Emperor was an unparalleled being who swept across eternity and suppressed an entire era!

Who would dare to hunt him down? Who could possibly drive him to such a wretched state?

In an instant, a strong sense of curiosity welled up in everyone's hearts.

In the Dragon Kingdom's live broadcast room, the viewers watched this thrilling chase with their hearts in their throats.

"Holy crap! That's way too many!"

"He just killed two of them, and now he's attracted a whole bunch more! Boss Lu Li never seems to have a single day of peace!"

Within the light screen, Lu Li escaped into a wide, dead-end alley completely enclosed by rock walls.

This place was none other than the burial ground that Li Qingyue and the others had inadvertently dug into before!

Seeing that Lu Li had nowhere to escape, the inner disciples of the Yellow Spring Demon Sect who had been pursuing him fell from mid-air and surrounded him tightly.

"Lu Li, you have nowhere to escape! Hand over the Myriad Spirits Blood River Map at once!" The leading demonic sect disciple shouted coldly, his face full of greed.

The other person had a hypocritical face and sneered, "Junior Brother Lu, we all know that this demonic treasure is in your hands. You are just a mine slave and you can't possibly grasp such a good fortune. As long as you obediently hand it over and let us keep it for you, we might be able to put in a good word for you with the elders and spare your life."

Some even went so far as to abandon all pretense of civility, drawing gleaming magical flying swords and declaring, "Why waste words with him! If you don't hand them over, this abandoned mine will be your burial ground!"

Seeing this group of hypocritical demonic cultivators, the viewers in the Dragon Kingdom's live stream were completely enraged.

"This is outrageous! How can these people be so shameless!"

"You clearly only wanted to kill and steal the treasure, and you still have the nerve to say you'd keep it safe for me? Pah!"

However, faced with this inescapable predicament, Lu Li in the light screen showed no panic whatsoever. Instead, he looked at everyone with a mocking gaze, as if they were already dead.

"Fellow disciples..."

Lu Li's voice echoed through the mine: "Didn't you ever consider... why I would abandon so many other ways to survive and deliberately lead you to this place?"

Upon hearing this, the dozens of inner disciples present felt a sudden jolt in their hearts, and a hint of suspicion and unease rose in their eyes.

The next moment, Lu Li didn't give them any time to react, and his hands suddenly changed hand seals!

"boom--!"

The entire enclosed mine trembled violently, and the blood-red array flags hidden in the crevices of the rock walls, or even buried underground by Lu Li beforehand, suddenly burst forth with a soaring blood-red light!

And at the core of this great formation is the demonic treasure that Lu Li had hidden here beforehand—the Myriad Spirits Blood River Map!

The ancient scroll suddenly rose up and slowly unfolded in mid-air, transforming into a vast, blood-red scroll that blotted out the sky and directly enveloped all the dozens of inner disciples!

Within the scroll, it seems to connect to an endless sea of ​​blood and the netherworld.

A torrent of blood poured out from it, transforming into countless ferocious dragons formed from blood, which madly pounced on the disciples of the Demon Sect.

"Ugh, what the hell is this?"

"My protective aura is being corroded! Help!"

"My flesh and blood... are melting!"

These high and mighty inner disciples finally experienced boundless fear.

They unleashed their proud spells and magical artifacts in an attempt to break through the encirclement.

But their resistance was futile against the Myriad Spirits Blood River Diagram, which was activated by Lu Li's Blood Nerve.
