Chapter 325: Chapter 294: Extreme North Mist_1

“So you’re the Seventh Prince, then who’s the one who escaped from the imperial capital’s heavenly prison?”

Xu Mu asked with a peculiar expression.

“Escaped from the heavenly prison in the imperial capital?”

The Black YuanYing looked confused, so Xu Mu started to recount what had happened in the heavenly prison.

“That was my clone, who would have thought he actually managed to escape! Damn!” The Black YuanYing’s face darkened.

“…..”

Xu Mu was speechless.

A clone?

Are you joking?

I feel more like you’re the clone?

After all, the one outside could fight against more than a dozen Nascent Soul Stage beings, much stronger compared to you – the Black YuanYing who can’t even handle a few Golden Core Stage opponents.

“If you’re the original, why didn’t Prince Jade release you when he was here, instead, he painstakingly went to rescue someone from the heavenly prison?” Xu Mu asked, puzzled.

Based on information he gathered, Prince Jade seemed to have stayed here for quite a while, even the town’s inhabitants were captured by him.

“Originally, I fell asleep due to an accident during my cultivation. By the time I woke up, my clone had turned against me and sealed me off. In order to save spiritual power, I remained in a half-asleep state and had no idea what happened during that time. Not until the seal loosened some time ago did I completely wake up. The spiritual energy here had been contaminated and to survive I had to switch to the martial method of Demonic Dao!” The Black YuanYing stated angrily.

He never expected that his clone would take his place, assume his identity in the outside world, and even kill his son.

Xu Mu did not expect such twists and turns, but he did not fully believe what the Black YuanYing was saying. Who knew if he was just making up stories.

Besides, the tragic story of the Black YuanYing had nothing to do with him.

Xu Mu changed the subject and asked about the treasure.

“Is that the treasure you said could restore my life force?”

“It’s the Creation Heavenly Pond!”

“Where can it be found?”

“The Extreme Northern Mist Sea!”

“…..”

Damn it!

Xu Mu couldn’t resist cursing in his heart.

Of course, he had heard of the Extreme Northern Mist Sea. It was a well-known dangerous area enshrouded in a cloud of mist, located at the far end of the Extreme Northern Ice Plains. Even Nascent Soul Stage beings faced danger entering it.

He just knew that this black thing wasn’t well-intentioned. Just anyone couldn’t go to such a place.

Just as Xu Mu was about to inquire further, the protective formation suddenly vibrated violently, giving off the feeling that it was about to break.

Although of a high level, this formation was clearly struggling without the hosting of the Black YuanYing.

“We should figure out how to get out of this predicament first, we can ask about the treasure later,”

Right now, his greatest difficulty wasn’t getting out of the formation, but how to avoid suspicion from the outsiders after exiting the formation.

“Old Infant, it’s your turn!”

“…..”

The Black YuanYing looked baffled.

What old infant?

Your entire family is old infants!

“My name is Li…”

“Alright, Old Li, stop your nonsense, you want me to be in trouble, right?”

“…..”

The Black YuanYing no longer wanted to quibble with Xu Mu about how to address him. He told him how to control the formation and let out a strand of his divine intent.

Not long after, the formation shattered with a loud bang, a shadow was propelled from it and began to leave along with numerous corpse puppets.

“Wait till I recover my cultivation, I will surely come back for revenge!”

A resentful roar rang out from the shadow. The elder prince and Seventh Princess, together with others, rushed to chase him but were stopped by the self-destruction of the corpse puppets. After the attack, his trail was lost.

“Damn it! He actually got away!” The Seventh Princess cursed.

The faces of the others also turned ugly, the losses this time were too great, all their subordinates died inside, who knows how much effort it took them to groom those confidants!

“Cough, cough!”

A weak cough was heard from the ruins of the palace.

“There’s still someone alive!”

Everyone’s heart lifted, wondering if it was their subordinate.

Before they were able to investigate, a figure staggered out.

“Greetings, Lords and Ladies!”

Xu Mu, full of scars, managed to bow.

“It’s you?”

“How did you end up here?”

“How in the world are you still alive?!”

There were surprise, suspicion, amazement, and incredulity in the eyes of those present.

Princes and princesses cast their gaze on the Seventh Princess because the last sentence was hers, implying that she had encountered Xu Mu inside the formation.

“I owe it all to the Seventh Princess. If she hadn’t gravely injured it, there’s no chance I would have survived!” Xu Mu said gratefully.

“…..”

The Seventh Princess’s face twisted, but didn’t know what to say.

She couldn’t possibly say that Xu Mu had hurt the Black YuanYing, giving them a chance to escape, but she took vengeance out of gratitude and ambushed Xu Mu at last, right?

“So it was you, Seventh Sister, who took action. We asked you just now but you didn’t admit it!” The elder prince said lightly.

The Seventh Princess didn’t respond to the elder prince, she just glared at Xu Mu and said, “You sure have quite the life!”

“I am of low status, I tend to have a huge life!” Xu Mu joked.

Others thought Xu Mu was being modest, but to the Seventh Princess, it was exceptionally grating. She was reminded of Xu Mu’s insulting words.

“Good luck doesn’t last forever, you better be careful in the future!” The Seventh Princess warned coldly.

“Thank you for your concern, Seventh Princess!” Xu Mu answered with a smile.

“…..”

The Seventh Princess huffed in anger and didn’t say anything. She turned and went towards the palace, intending to see whether she could find anything of value to compensate for the losses.

As for Xu Mu, she really wanted to take action, but with so many people present, it wouldn’t be convenient.

Not to mention the Fifth Prince and Xu Mu are on the same side, the Fifth Prince would surely interfere if she attacked. And considering the relationship between the princes and princess, probably no one would just stand aside.

After all, there must be people looking forward to seeing her taking a hit, especially the elder prince.

“Why are you the only one here, where’s You Lan?” The Fifth Prince asked urgently.

“I… I got separated from her…”

Xu Mu told them about his decision with Li YouLan, only then did the Fifth Prince relax.

When the others heard Li YouLan hadn’t come, their expressions turned ugly.

They were all competitors, and all of them had suffered severe losses, while Li YouLan was unscathed, so anyone would not be in a good mood.

They didn’t bother with Xu Mu anymore and flew towards the palace. They wanted to find something of value to make up for their losses. Only the Fifth Prince remained.

“Are your injuries serious?” The Fifth Prince asked.

“No, thank you for your concern!” Xu Mu said.

The Fifth Prince took out a bottle of pills and handed them to Xu Mu, “This is the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, it’s the best for treating wounds like yours!”

“This is too invaluable!” Xu Mu tried to refuse, but was forcibly stuffed into his hand by the Fifth Prince.

“Take it! We’re all family here, no need for formalities!”

With that, the Fifth Prince also flew towards the palace, leaving Xu Mu alone.

“This Fifth Prince—

is really interesting!”

Xu Mu chuckled, took the pill, and sat down to recuperate.
