" The Extreme South Emperor!?"
This is far too fantastical. How could something so vastly different be connected to the Extreme South Emperor?!
"Is what you said true?" The nameless Forbidden Curse descended beside Lu Ling, still staring intently at Mu Rong.
He was skeptical.
However, he knew that Mu Rong had gone to South Pole with several Forbidden Curse, but only he had returned alive.
He was the only one!
"Why don't you just take a look and see?"
The malevolent dragon, imbued with annihilating power, attacked Mu Rong without holding back.
In the blink of an eye, Mu Rong, who had fallen to the ground, stood up in a bizarre manner, surrounded by countless solid ice crystals that protected him.
The evil dragon was unstoppable, easily tearing through the defenses Mu Rong had erected.
Mu Rong was merely a half-baked Forbidden Curse of Forbidden Curse, incapable of independently unleashing them.
A forbidden Forbidden Curse Mage cannot cast Forbidden Curse is not much different from an ordinary overpowered mage, and Mu Rong's aged body is even more fragile.
But Mu Rong did not resist much, letting the evil energy wash over his body.
Look into his eyes.
Eye?
Upon hearing this, the nameless Forbidden Curse focused its gaze on Mu Rong's eyes.
Strange eye wrinkles were present in Mu Rong's eyes, even spreading out of his eye sockets!
There was no trace of joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness, only a belief in utter contempt for everything.
This is absolutely not an emotion that a human being should have!
The nameless Forbidden Curse had already largely come to believe Lu Ling.
"Hehehe, Undead Emperor. You actually want to help humans!" Mu Rong gave a sinister smile. Although he still had a human face, it was extremely creepy and sent chills down one's spine.
"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid no one would ever have discovered me."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sinister shadow rose behind Mu Rong, as tall as a mountain, transforming into a demonic shadow powerful enough to shroud the sun.
"Truly a puppet Emperor!?" The nameless Forbidden Curse's pupils contracted, his eyes surging with disbelief.
He had never met the Extreme South Emperor, but judging from the other party's aura, he was definitely an extremely powerful Emperor.
Even if it's just a projection, he has to be extremely focused!
"He was arrogant and looked down on everyone, coming to attack me in the name of the strongest human, but in the end he begged me for mercy and became my puppet. You humans are truly a laughable race."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Mu Clan felt humiliated.
Mu Rong, known as a living legend in the Mu Clan, has now become a traitor to humanity and, in order to survive, has become Demon Beast puppet!
The black dragon continued to coil around Mu Rong, shrinking and eroding the demonic projection of the Extreme South Emperor.
Strangely, the Extreme South Emperor ceased its defenses, allowing the deathly aura and black mist to erode it.
"I hope that after I freeze the world, I will still be alive when I see you with my own eyes!" the Extreme South Emperor said coldly.
At the same time, he raised his hand and made a grasping motion, as if he were crushing something.
"Ughh...
Suddenly, the Mu Clan patriarch clutched his heart in pain, his eyes filled with resentment as he stared intently at Mu Rong.
He collapsed helplessly, countless ice crystals condensing on his heart and spreading towards his limbs. His entire body was quickly covered in a layer of icy dust and shattered into dust.
"... Ancestor!"
The shadow of the demon god vanished, and Mu Rong was reduced to ashes by the Evil Dragon.
" The Extreme South Emperor has actually taken away one of our Forbidden Curse!" Pang Lai murmured.
"His identity has been exposed. Losing a Forbidden Curse is the best thing for him!" said the nameless Forbidden Curse.
"... Ancestor."
Mu Gong Divine Soul knelt on the ground, utterly distraught, unable to believe what he was seeing.
Both of the pillars of the Mu Clan are dead! Without the Forbidden Curse, they will no longer be a clan bound by the Forbidden Curse.
Several more powerful Super Level have been lost... How will we compete with others from now on?!
From this day forward, the Mu Clan will be reduced to an ordinary aristocratic family.
Sha Yuan fled far away, the Eight Directions Undead Lords also vanished.
Lu Ling let out a long sigh of relief, and the Armor Robe on his body disappeared.
"You must be Lu Ling? I've long heard of a rising dragon Summoning in the country, but I never imagined that you'd reach such a height on our first meeting." The Nameless Forbidden Curse approached Lu Ling, revealing a friendly smile.
At first glance, he was surprised to find that Lu Ling's true magical cultivation was only at the Advanced Level.
At the Advanced Level, they were able to wield the power of Emperor and control the Sha Yuan.
Perhaps the whole truth about the Ancient Capital lies within this young man.
"May I ask your name, senior?" Since the other party treated her with courtesy, Lu Ling naturally had to be polite in return.
" Jiang Nian," Jiang Nian said calmly.
He wore a simple jacket and had a neat short haircut. After dispelling the power of the Forbidden Curse, he looked like an ordinary office worker at first glance, and you would never guess that he was a Forbidden Curse Mage.
Pang Lai, standing to the side with an air of otherworldly wisdom, looked more like a supreme powerhouse.
"Jiang?"
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just thought of someone."
Lu Ling shook her head, having some guesses about Jiang Nian's identity.
" Jiang Shaoxu, right!?"
Jiang Nian didn't play by the rules at all. His eyes turned cold, and he directly revealed what Lu Ling was thinking.
"Uh... you are...?"
Lu Ling was a bit overwhelmed. He could guess that the relationship between the middle-aged man in front of him and Jiang Shaoxu was unusual.
But how could the other party be aware of his connection with Jiang Shaoxu?
"I was watching you and my daughter closely the whole time we were at the auction that day."
Jiang Nian acted like a doting father, completely losing the majesty of the Forbidden Curse.
"Ahem, we met only once."
Lu Ling looked embarrassed. He hadn't expected that he would be noticed by Forbidden Curse Mage, especially Jiang Shaoxu's father.
This doting father is a bit too much, but considering that the other party might be stationed in the Imperial Capital, Lu Ling understood.
Lu Ling didn't explain much about Jiang Shaoxu. Since the other party was watching, they must know the whole story.
"Now, can you tell us about Sha Yuan?" Jiang Nian asked casually.
"Yes, Lu Ling, I was quite startled when I saw it was you."
Pang Lai perked up, clearly also very curious.
"Please keep this a secret, both of you..."
Lu Ling gave a brief explanation.
" Ancient King, the lord of the Sha Yuan?" Jiang Nian was astonished.
"So, you saved the Ancient Capital too?" Pang Lai asked.
The truth behind the Ancient Capital Cataclysm has not yet been fully revealed; all that is known is that it was orchestrated by the Black Vatican.
"Yes, but no one knows the truth about the Ancient King. So, to avoid unnecessary trouble..."
"Having performed so many extraordinary feats, after the Ancient Capital Cataclysm, it seems that I am no longer surprised by anything that happens to you." Upon hearing this, Pang Lai smiled with relief and sighed sincerely.
"Don't worry. It would be wonderful for our China to have an Emperor- level fighting force like yours," Jiang Nian said, waving his hand.
He was well aware of the power and conflict surrounding this force, and knew that it was crucial to keep it hidden, especially from the Holy City, otherwise he might be falsely accused.
"Moreover, your discovery of the Emperor puppet hidden within the Mu Clan is a great achievement in itself. Your merits will be remembered. Feel free to contact me if you need any assistance."
"Thank you, Jiang..."
"Call me Uncle," Jiang Nian said.
Upon hearing this, Pang Lai raised an eyebrow.
The more I listened, the more suspicious it seemed. This guy... was he trying to get close to me? He'd even go so far as to abandon his own daughter?
But upon closer reflection, it seems normal; in fact, it should be.
With this doting fatherly attitude, is there any need for him to pretend?
Lu Ling is Emperor-level combatant, on par with or even a level above Forbidden Curse.
No matter how much of a doting father Jiang Nian is, she will still categorize Lu Ling as an object that her daughter can marry, an object that can be won over.
He suddenly felt a sense of relief, realizing that this was definitely the time he had been most astute in his judgment, having won over Lu Ling early on and made her an honorary councilor.
"Thank you, Uncle Jiang." Lu Ling said politely.
"These are the troublesome ones," Jiang Nian nodded.
Jiang Nian was unaware of Pang Lai's ulterior motives. He looked at the other Mu Clan Super Level who were still in a daze.
Watched by the Forbidden Curse, the Mu Clan elders, who had survived the ordeal, began to feel fear again.
"It's alright, I'll just place a mental restriction on them," Lu Ling said.
With a sudden surge of mental power, Lu Ling used Mind Element Magic to place restrictions on more than a dozen Super Level individuals, including Mu Dao.
"If you dare tell anyone, you'll die."
Lu Ling had no intention of exterminating them all.
The fragments of the Ice Crystal Bow haven't been fully collected yet. Ten billion... that's actually quite a fortune, barely enough for a Monarch-level Spirit Essence.
These people are more useful alive than dead; they might be able to be absorbed into one's own power in the future.
