It turns out, they were the main characters.

Her black and red skirt fluttered, revealing Ye Qingxin's beautiful and flawless face. Wisps of flame danced around her, and she wore a pair of delicate embroidered shoes, making her look like a dancing fire sprite.

"It seems that the Demon Queen's trip to the border region this time may be related to Consort Shang Yan," Ye Qingxin said.

Mu Zhian said softly, "The Demon Realm and the Eastern Continent have always been at odds, but the Demon Queen is a very smart woman. She should know that directly fighting the sect leader will only allow other forces to reap the benefits."

While talking to Ye Qingxin, he had already scanned everything in the palace and found that there was indeed nothing else there.

Mu Zhian then turned his gaze back to the ancient coffin directly in front of him.

After a moment's thought, he stepped forward and activated his storage ring, trying to put the coffin into it.

However, the storage ring could not accommodate the coffin, which was only the size of a person.

"Strange, this coffin doesn't look very big, but my storage ring can't hold it...?"

Mu Zhian muttered to himself in surprise.

"You won't even spare the coffins here...?"

Even Ye Qingxin was speechless, but then a hint of doubt flashed across her eyes.

Strange, Mu Zhian's storage ring is of the sixth grade. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be difficult to put a coffin inside.

“There’s no formation on this coffin…why don’t you try again?” Ye Qingxin said.

If Mu Zhian hadn't brought this up, she might have overlooked this very thing that is most easily overlooked.

Next, Mu Zhian tried again, but the storage ring was completely unable to withstand the coffin and showed signs of breaking. Mu Zhian hurriedly put away the storage ring.

"It still doesn't work... There's definitely something strange about this coffin."

He pondered for a moment, then grabbed the sides of the coffin with both hands and lifted it up.

The enormous weight pressed down on him, but Mu Zhian's Dao was designed to strengthen his physique, so he didn't find it too strenuous and simply carried it on his back.

"Sister Ye, let's leave here."

Mu Zhian turned to look at Ye Qingxin, only to see her slightly parted red lips, staring at him with a hint of surprise.

"Sister Ye...?" Mu Zhian called out again.

Ye Qingxin finally snapped out of her reverie, looked at Mu Zhian several times as if he were a monster, and finally nodded slightly before turning into a wisp of her spiritual consciousness and returning to Mu Zhian's body.

The weight of the coffin was too great for a sixth-grade storage ring to contain, and it was absolutely impossible for an ordinary cultivator to lift it.

But Mu Zhian not only carried it on his back, but it also seemed to take very little effort... which was quite unbelievable.

Mu Zhian was naturally unaware of Ye Qingxin's thoughts at that moment. He carried the Abyss Coffin on his back and rode his sword back along the original path to the exit of the Abyss.

Although they hadn't reached the exit yet, Ye Qingxin had already vaguely sensed something and whispered, "There are more than two Dao Integration Realm experts outside."

More than two...? Could it be the sect leader and the spirit dragon, or perhaps other forces from the Nine Provinces are also among them?

Mu Zhian's mind gradually became active.

At this moment, Ye Qingxin continued, "In any case, no matter who it is, they should know when to stop. You should return to the Liangyi Sect first."

Mu Zhian hummed in agreement.

His thoughts were the same as Ye Qingxin's; although the Demon Queen was arrogant, she was by no means an irrational person.

There's no need to say more about Shang Yanfei; that woman is as unfathomable as the cleavage on Nai Xi's chest, and she won't get angry easily.

However, if someone were to offend them at this time, they might be in for a lot of trouble.

Mu Zhian chuckled softly to himself, carrying the Jiyuan coffin on his back, and rode his sword, transforming into a streak of light as he sped towards the exit of the cave.

……

The Demon Queen stood in mid-air, her magnificent long dress fluttering in the cold wind, her gaze fixed directly on the direction of the Liangyi Sect.

She didn't know what Shang Yanfei's purpose was, but no matter what, she couldn't just go into seclusion so easily.

At least until then, we need to force Shang Yanfei out of the shadows.

Although her true form could not go directly to the Liangyi Sect, she still had to force the other party to come out and fight in this way.

It just requires paying a small price...

But judging from this, isn't this level enough to get her out?

The Demon Queen narrowed her crimson eyes. Although she was naturally alluring, the pressure she exuded at this moment caused the entire border region to tremble slightly.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you in the border region. I didn't expect you to cause such a commotion as soon as you arrived."

Just as the Demon Queen was about to speak again, she suddenly heard a clear, soft voice in her ear.

Beneath the sky over the borderlands, a beautiful woman dressed in a palace gown appeared before the Demon Queen at some unknown time.

She was tall and aloof, dressed in a black and white palace dress that accentuated her curvaceous and sexy figure. Her breasts were large and her long hair cascaded down her back, making her seem as if she had stepped out of another world, with no trace of her cultivation level.

A bronze sword silently appeared behind him, exuding an ancient aura and gleaming with a cold light.

If Mu Zhian were present, he would surely marvel at the woman's temperament and appearance, and then sigh with regret: Why did Ruoxi's breasts shrink after her evolution?

"Gong Lianyue?"

The Demon Queen's eyes showed a hint of surprise as she looked at the beauty before her a few more times: "I didn't expect that Consort Shang Yan wouldn't come, but you came first."

"I should be the one who's surprised; your aura is much stronger than before."

Bai Ruoxi, or rather, Gong Lianyue who had been awakened earlier, narrowed her beautiful eyes and gazed at the alluring figure of the Demon Queen.

She could clearly sense that although the Demon Queen was a Dao-merging being, after absorbing the essence of the first Demon Queen, her aura was actually showing signs of becoming stronger.

"Since Consort Shang Yan dares not come out, yet sends you to see me? But I have nothing to discuss with you." The Demon Queen's voice was soft and seductive, yet it commanded an awe-inspiring majesty.

"I don't have anything I want to talk to you about."

Gong Lianyue chuckled lightly: "I was just woken up by the commotion you made earlier, so I came over to check on things."

"The Eastern Continent is not like the Demon Realm. If you cause such a big commotion, be careful that you won't be able to clean up the mess in the end."

Although it was said casually, there was a hint of indifference in his tone.

Those who can step into the Dao Integration Realm are all the most outstanding beings in their lifetime in terms of talent and fortune. Although the Demon Queen is powerful, the former Palace Master of the Sword Palace is no less than her. Being awakened from his slumber at this moment, he is naturally in a very bad mood.

A biting wind swept by, and drizzle fell softly.

As Gong Lianyue finished speaking, the Demon Queen revealed a charming smile: "Whether or not you can handle this situation is not up to you."

"Since you're not here to see me, then please leave."

Gong Lianyue glanced at the Demon Queen, a rare faint smile appearing on her beautiful face, her gaze towards the Demon Queen as if she were looking at a defeated dog.

The so-called 'power' is not what she pursues now. Although she was awakened by the commotion caused by the Demon Queen today, she was not really angry.

Rather, I should thank her.

After all, ever since she fell into a deep sleep that day, she had been hoping to wake up as soon as possible.

I wonder how he is now... He hasn't left since he entered the Abyss, maybe he's trapped inside?

"Where are you planning to go? The demon realm is just ahead."

Just as Gong Lianyue was about to step into the Abyss, the Demon Queen's brows furrowed slightly, as if she had guessed something, and she softly stopped her.

"Is there any place in this Kyushu that I cannot go?"

Gong Lianyue glanced at the Demon Queen.

Their eyes met, and the raindrops fell on them, but did not soak their clothes at all.

After a long silence, Gong Lianyue revealed a charming smile and continued, "Besides, I have no interest in your demon realm. It's just that my rare slumber has been awakened by you, and I also want to take the opportunity to see my Daoist partner."

"Your Daoist partner?"

The Demon Queen hovered in mid-air, her tall and graceful figure appearing and disappearing in the pink demonic mist. Although she was difficult to see clearly, she possessed a captivating charm that made people itch to peer into the mist and see her alluring face more clearly.

A cold wind gently lifted her dress, revealing a pair of long, slender, jade-like legs that were as white and delicate as cream, yet undeniably beautiful.

The fire was real, but there were very few people in the world who dared to look up at her.

"If I remember correctly, the Palace Master of the Sword Palace built the Heavenly Palace single-handedly, and never had any Daoist partners during that time. How come, after two lifetimes, he suddenly and inexplicably has a Daoist partner?"

The Demon Queen glanced back casually, her soft, seductive voice echoing above the Abyss, yet seemingly tinged with malice.

Gong Lianyue's eyes grew cold: "I have never seen the Demon Queen of the Demon Realm show any interest in the feelings of others before. Why are you so concerned about my affairs today?"

Even a fool could sense the Demon Queen's hostility at this moment, let alone Gong Lian Yue, who was directly involved.

From the past to the present, she and the Demon Queen have kept to themselves, but she didn't know that the other party was somewhat hostile towards her today... Where did this come from?

"If I remember correctly, the Palace Master's current body was born from that girl from the Bai family and a cultivator, right? If I remember correctly, Bai Ruoxi's Daoist partner is just a cultivator who is not even twenty years old."

The Demon Queen said to herself, "Could it be... that you've also fallen for that cultivator?"

The single word "also" made Gong Lian Yue narrow her eyes, a dangerous glint in them: "What do you want to say?"

Under the gloomy sky, there seemed to be faint rumblings of thunder.

The two Dao-Merging Great Powers were quite different. One was alluring and seductive, like an empress bewitching all living beings, while the other was more aloof and stunning, like a plum blossom in the dead of winter, cold and piercing.

Amidst the exchange of glances, a hint of ambiguity flickered in the alluring eyes of the Demon Queen.

Then, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a stunning smile.

"It's nothing," she said with a faint smile.

The casual tone of his voice made Gong Lianyue's eyes turn cold.

She glanced at the Demon Queen and chuckled, covering her mouth: "That's true. There's nothing much to say between us. I suppose you don't know what love is like, after all, you've spent your whole life pursuing ascension to immortality."

The Demon Queen smiled faintly, "A naturally formed furnace that can continuously advance with the improvement of one's cultivation level is indeed worthy of the Palace Master's favor."

Is this implying, "You don't understand anything about feelings; you just lust after his body, and you're making it sound so noble?"

Seeing that Gong Lianyue had no intention of paying attention to her, the Demon Queen took a step back and became increasingly angry. She casually asked, "Speaking of which, how are you getting used to the Purple Hydrangea magic weapon that I gave to the Palace Master before?"

"Hydrangea?" Gong Lianyue was taken aback, her attention completely drawn to the Demon Queen, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Before she could even ask, the Demon Queen slowly opened her right palm.

In the palm of my hand, a beautiful purple flower blooms silently, alluring and captivating.

Gong Lianyue stared suspiciously at the purple hydrangea in the palm of the Demon Queen's hand. Then, as if she had thought of something, her eyes narrowed slightly.

Then, she placed her slender hand on her chest and slowly took out a hydrangea from her snow-white breasts that were swaying gently in the cold wind.
