It turns out, they were the main characters.

However, geniuses with this special physique are ultimately quite rare.

Thor's gaze towards Ye Lingxuan seemed much gentler, lacking the previous majesty, clearly showing his affection for the daughter of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone.

Then, when its gaze fell on the handsome young man beside Ye Lingxuan, it slowly said, "Are you Mu Zhian?"

"Junior Mu Zhian greets Senior Thor," Mu Zhian said, clasping his hands in greeting.

Thor simply grunted an "Mmm," then raised his hand and waved it.

In an instant, the entire sea was divided into a bottomless path.

Mu Zhian's eyes flickered slightly, and he noticed the special features of this road.

This is... a grotto-heaven.

"Go inside," Thor said.

"Your master is already waiting for you."

Mu Zhian nodded slightly and, led by the others, walked into the depths of the sea where a road was separated.

When you venture into the depths of the ocean, what comes into view is not the deep seabed, but a palace that looks quite ancient and ornate.

Judging from its appearance alone, it is even more luxurious than the royal palace.

At this moment, dozens of people who looked to be around the same age as Mu Zhian were already standing in front of the palace gate.

They were all children of the restricted area who had come out to watch the excitement.

Not far behind these people, several simply dressed elderly men were also looking in this direction.

"Lingxuan, you're finally back! Have you forgotten about your sister?"

At this moment, a woman dressed in a light blue dress walked up gracefully, grabbed Ye Lingxuan's arm, and said with a smile.

This woman was one of the forbidden zone geniuses who had desperately resisted the majesty of the spirit dragon.

"She hasn't forgotten us; she's clearly blinded by love. If it weren't for the inheritance, she probably would have forgotten where the forbidden zone is," another woman teased from the side.

Ye Lingxuan blushed slightly and whispered, "Please stop teasing me, sisters. Of course I miss you both... it's just that I haven't had much time before because I've been in the sect."

"Hey, that's what you say, but the real reason is actually because of this Young Master Mu, isn't it?"

As the woman in the blue dress spoke, her gaze drifted intentionally or unintentionally towards Mu Zhi'an.

He has good taste in clothing and is quite handsome; his talent... is also quite good.

However, that alone is not enough to attract their young mistress...

As the woman in the blue dress thought of this, the disciples from the forbidden area all came up to talk to Ye Lingxuan. Although she did not often return to the forbidden area in the past, both the girl's talent and her politeness and elegance in front of outsiders had won over most of her peers.

Ye Lingxuan couldn't avoid the crowd at this point, so she could only give Mu Zhian a helpless look from among the people.

Mu Zhian didn't seem to mind and smiled at the girl.

Seeing that Ye Lingxuan was so popular and got along well with others, he was also very pleased.

At this moment, Zhou Hao suddenly said loudly, "As you all probably already know, I'll still introduce him to you. This is Mu Zhian, whom my younger brother Zhou Cang mentioned before."

"That is, our young lady's Daoist partner."

Almost as soon as the word "Daoist couple" was heard, the lively atmosphere instantly quieted down.

Then, countless gazes fell on Mu Zhian, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

They had heard of Mu Zhian's name long before they met him, and now that they saw him in person, they were naturally curious whether he had three heads and six arms, which was why he had won the young lady's heart.

But now it seems that besides being handsome, he doesn't have any other advantages...

Silence filled the square in front of the palace gates. Countless eyes turned to Mu Zhi'an, some with undisguised hostility, while others nodded in goodwill.

Mu Zhian naturally nodded slightly in response to these kind glances as a sign of politeness.

At this moment, an elder behind the crowd suddenly spoke slowly: "Go and make preparations. We will hold a welcome dinner for Miss today."

After saying this, his cloudy gaze fell on Mu Zhian, and he said gently, "Young friend Mu, please come with me. The master has been waiting for a long time."

Mu Zhian smiled and nodded, appearing calm and collected.

Actually, I was a little nervous.

He was mentally prepared to meet the master of the restricted area, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Who shows me the final boss right from the start?

Why are they making me meet my future father-in-law right off the bat? Shouldn't they let me gain some 'experience' first?

Upon hearing the words of this forbidden zone elder, Mu Zhian couldn't help but mentally complain.

He could clearly sense that many of the forbidden zone clansmen who had just been talking to Ye Lingxuan were looking at him with a hint of hostility.

Mu Zhian wasn't particularly bothered by such looks; in fact, he could even understand them.

After all, most of these people are probably his peers, young and impetuous. It's normal for them to be unconvinced or even want to spar with him, since he even managed to abduct the holy maiden of the forbidden zone.

"Why did my father go looking for Brother Mu so quickly..." Ye Lingxuan was also a little surprised. She couldn't help but secretly look up at Mu Zhian not far away before quietly turning around and walking into the main hall.

Most of the clansmen did not notice this scene, because at this moment, the attention of many disciples in the forbidden area was drawn to Mu Zhi'an.

Their gazes toward Mu Zhian held a strange undertone, along with a hint of schadenfreude.

Even these proud geniuses living in the center of the forbidden zone are as afraid of that Lord of the Forbidden Zone as mice are of a cat, not to mention that they rarely even see that being on ordinary days.

However, Mu Zhian had only just arrived at the forbidden zone when he was summoned to see the Lord of the forbidden zone... It was obvious that it was about the Holy Maiden.

Upon realizing this, the hostility these people initially felt towards Mu Zhian suddenly transformed into a sense of sympathy.

Mu Zhian quickly composed himself, turned to look at Wei Mengrou beside him, and said, "Sister Mengrou, why don't you go inside with Sister Lingxuan and wait for me later?"

Wei Mengrou nodded gently, then glanced at Mu Zhian with a wistful look.

Although she didn't speak, you could still feel the worry in Wei Mengrou's eyes.

This time is different from the past. The other party is a powerful expert in the Dao Integration Realm, and has been in seclusion for a long time. However, he suddenly asked to see Mu Zhian... I don't know if this is a good thing or not.

As Mu Zhian followed the elders into the palace, Wei Mengrou, led by others, also entered the ancient palace.

The disciples of these forbidden areas had all heard a little about this maid's talent before. In addition, she was beautiful. Therefore, unlike when they treated Mu Zhi'an, most of them were much friendlier to Wei Mengrou and occasionally spoke to her.

Meanwhile, Mu Zhian, led by this elder, walked for a long time before finally arriving at the Celestial Palace, where the Lord of the Forbidden Zone resided.

Two maids had been waiting for a long time on either side of the mahogany gate.

Upon seeing Mu Zhi'an and the elders beside him, they all bowed. After the elders left, they led Mu Zhi'an into the Heavenly Immortal Palace.

After walking through the corridor, Mu Zhian was soon led to a quiet and elegant room.

Inside the elegant room, a man dressed in a black robe, with a composed and solemn demeanor, sat at a table directly opposite the door, leisurely sipping tea while flipping through a book. He appeared quite relaxed.

"Master, Mu Zhian has been brought over." The maid gave a slight bow, then turned and quietly withdrew.

Having already encountered several experts at the Dao Integration Realm before, Mu Zhian felt no discomfort facing this rare expert from the Eastern Continent. He raised his hand in a gesture of respect and said loudly, "Mu Zhian, disciple of the Liangyi Sect, greets senior."

Mu Zhian wanted to jokingly say, "Disciple Mu Zhian greets Father-in-law," but considering the other party's identity and the rather unpleasant expression on the face of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, he ultimately suppressed his thoughts.

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone glanced at Mu Zhi'an indifferently and said, "Sit down."

His eyes seemed to be filled with disdain.

It's no wonder. When he sent Ye Lingxuan to the Ye family, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone never expected that Ye Lingxuan would have a romantic relationship with a man of the same age in Tianxuan City.

Ultimately, although Ye Lingxuan is usually very polite, she still has the arrogance of a forbidden zone saintess deep down. When she first went to the Mu family to 'warn' Mu Zhi'an not to get close to her sister, her mindset was arrogant.

Who would have thought that the proud young lady of the forbidden zone would actually have someone she likes in Tianxuan City...

"My father-in-law is indeed very dissatisfied with me..." Mu Zhian understood in his heart, but was not surprised. He quickly composed himself and asked, "I wonder what business you have with me here, senior?"

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone put down the book in his hand, paused, and said, "What brings you here to see me this time?"

There's no such thing as answering questions with questions... Mu Zhian pondered for a moment, and finally decided to be more straightforward.

After all, the other party probably already knows my purpose.

"This junior would like to borrow the Reincarnation Water," Mu Zhian said.

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone sized up Mu Zhi'an a few times and asked, "What do you need the Reincarnation Water for?"

His tone and eyes were incredibly calm, which even made Mu Zhian think that he was not the master of the forbidden zone.

He had considered the various reactions the Lord of the Forbidden Zone might have after he met him. For example, his father-in-law might ask about Ye Lingxuan, or he might put Mu Zhian through some kind of test or even 'scare' him.

However, it seems that such a big figure as the "King of the Penalty Area" still has a broad vision.

This puts people at ease.

Mu Zhian quickly collected his thoughts and asked, "Does Senior know about the first Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm?"

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone raised an eyebrow, sized up the young man, and said, "The First Demon Emperor? Why are you suddenly mentioning it?"

Mu Zhian respectfully said, "To be honest, this junior wishes to reshape the body of Senior Qingdi."

“And this requires the help of the Reincarnation Water.” Mu Zhian chose to tell the truth.

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone couldn't help but take a second look at this elegantly dressed young nobleman.

Why should I help you?

Mu Zhian shook his head and said, "Senior is not helping me, but Senior Qingdi."

"The first Demon Emperor was suppressed by the Azure Emperor, but he still survives. If he were to be resurrected, the Eastern Continent would face a great calamity," Mu Zhian continued.

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone's eyes lit up with interest as he smiled faintly, "Why should I believe the words of a junior like you?"

He did indeed have some awareness of the fact that the first Demon Emperor was sealed away by the Azure Emperor.

But the battle was too fast; he didn't even have time to pinpoint the location before the aura of the First Demon Emperor had completely vanished.

Whether the first Demon Emperor is still alive is still a question, so for a mere cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm to say that the first Demon Emperor is about to be resurrected is indeed hard to believe from a rational point of view.

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone paused, gave Mu Zhi'an a meaningful look, and continued, "Even if the Azure Emperor himself said these words, it still wouldn't be enough to prove the resurrection of the First Demon Emperor, would it?"

"The words of the Azure Emperor cannot be taken as evidence that the first Demon Emperor is still alive in the world."

Mu Zhi paused for a moment, then took out a jade bottle from his storage ring and placed it on the table. Looking at the solemn-looking man before him, he smiled and said, "What if it's evidence from the First Demon Emperor himself?"
