Although the isolation formation of the Flower Moon Palace was ingenious, it posed little problem for Chen Mu.

He combined several optical rules with the precise calculations of the AI, and quickly deciphered the structure of the array, clearly seeing the interior of Room Number One.

" Long Xiang?"

Chen Mu was greatly surprised, never expecting that the royal relative in Room Number One of the Heavenly Ranks was actually the Sixth Prince Long Xiang.

At this moment, Long Xiang had a bright red dot between his eyebrows, clearly indicating that his Celestial Person Bloodline had been activated and his strength had greatly increased.

" Your Lord Jing, I apologize for keeping you waiting."

After entering the room, Su Miaoyin, dressed in white, bowed to Long Xiang.

"Haha, it's all worth the wait to see you, Miaoyin."

Long Xiang laughed heartily, glanced at the steward beside him, who immediately understood, bowed, and left through the back door with two personal guards.

Su Miaoyin was adept at social interaction and was used to such scenes. She squatted down to pour Long Xiang a glass of wine, and then started chatting about topics that Long Xiang was interested in.

" Lord Jing has been in high spirits lately, is there some good news you want to tell Miaoyin?"

"Haha, you understand me so well, Miaoyin!"

The Heavenly Court has issued a divine decree to grant me Qing Province. Soon I will no longer King Who Pacifies Jing, but the Azure Dragon King.

Long Bo's face turned blue with anger, but there was nothing he could do, haha...

Long Xiang picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Then he put his hand on Su Miaoyin's shoulder and began to get restless.

A barely perceptible hint of disgust flashed in Su Miaoyin's eyes, but she dared not show it. She simply turned slightly to push Long Xiang away and said with a smile.

"This is truly a joyous occasion. Let Miaoyin play a tune to congratulate Your Highness."

However, Long Xiang was clearly not so easily fooled. He grabbed Su Miaoyin's wrist and pulled her back.

"No rush, all I want to do right now is drink. Just enjoy a few drinks with me."

"Very well, Miaoyin will pour the wine for Your Highness now."

Faced with such an uncouth guest, Su Miaoyin had no choice but to be King Who Pacifies Jing and drink with him.

Chen Mu, who was secretly observing, saw such a beautiful scene, but remained expressionless and unusually calm.

When he was cultivating with the Karmic Fire Cushion, he had already experienced countless lustful illusions; these were nothing more than child's play.

However, the two's conversation became increasingly frivolous and romantic. Seeing that he couldn't gather any useful information, Chen Mu decided to withdraw his Dharma Power and stop spying.

But at that moment, he noticed that when Su Miaoyin poured wine for Long Xiang, there were tiny specks of powder floating on her hand.

He immediately realized that Su Miaoyin was not as simple as he had imagined, so he continued to spy on her.

After several rounds of drinks, Long Xiang, having taken advantage of the situation, released Su Miaoyin and had her play a popular song among the nobility.

Thump... Ding ding...!

The sound of the zither rises, its ancient melody lingering and captivating.

But at this moment, Long Xiang began to feel something was wrong. He found that his whole body was sore and weak, and he could not even stand up.

"What... what did you do?"

He pointed at Su Miaoyin and said sternly.

However, Su Miaoyin completely ignored him and continued playing the music, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

Chen Mu was secretly observing, could tell that the poison Su Miaoyin fed to Long Xiang was quite peculiar; it actually seeped into Long Xiang's limbs and all over his body along with the sound of the zither. No wonder Long Xiang, with his powerful cultivation, was completely unaware of the poison.

Long Xiang has committed many evil deeds, so Chen Mu naturally wouldn't save him. Given his philandering nature, dying at the hands of a woman is a fitting end for him.

However, at this moment, an unexpected change occurred. The red dot on Long Xiang's forehead burst forth with intense light, actually pulling back the gradually weakening life force in his body.

"Hateful!"

Su Miaoyin was shocked and immediately put down her guqin. She used her hand as a knife and slashed at Long Xiang with her palm.

Snap!

Long Xiang grabbed Su Miaoyin's hand, a cold smile on his face.

"Hehe, if I hadn't already activated my Celestial Person Bloodline, I really would have been tricked by you this time."

At this moment, Long Xiang's aura had reached the Peak Emperor Level. What was even more terrifying was his incredibly strong physical body. No matter how much Su Miaoyin, who was only at the Early Emperor Level, struggled, she could not break free from his grasp.

"Who sent you to kill me? Was it Duan Tianlong? Or Long Bo?"

At this point, Long Xiang finally revealed his imposing side. He stared intently at Su Miaoyin, as if he would kill her on the spot at the slightest provocation.

"Hiss..."

Suddenly, Su Miaoyin spat out a magical artifact, which emitted a piercing whistling sound. Although Long Bo had a strong physique, his ears could not withstand such a high-pitched sound, and he immediately loosened his grip, allowing Su Miaoyin to escape.

"Hmph, come back here!"

As a member of the royal family, he certainly possessed many magical treasures. A gourd flew out from his head, spitting out an invisible force that bound Su Miaoyin, trying to pull her back.

Seeing that Su Miaoyin was about to be killed by Long Xiang, Chen Mu finally couldn't hold back any longer. He told Little White and Hou Sailei not to make any rash moves, and then disappeared from the room in a flash.

Although the formation of the Flower Moon Palace imprisoned the space, preventing anyone from using spatial rules to teleport here.

However, Chen Mu used the Spirit Particle Transformation technique for teleportation. Spirit Particle Transformation can decompose objects into incredibly tiny particles, which are then transferred using Spirit Magnetic Wave. After reaching the destination, they are reassembled. Its effect is exactly the same as the Instant Movement Talisman, but the principle is completely different.

Therefore, Flower Moon Palace could not imprison Chen Mu's teleportation, and could not even detect his teleportation.

Inside room number one, Chen Mu suddenly appeared behind Long Xiang. He then raised his hand and slapped Long Xiang on the top of his head.

"Ah...!"

No matter how many magical treasures Long Xiang possessed or how many trump cards he had hidden behind him, none of that mattered in the face of the enormous difference in their levels.

His protective magical artifacts shattered one after another, and in the end, he could only let out a miserable scream before collapsing to the ground, his life extinguished.

As Sage, Chen Mu lowered himself to launch a sneak attack on a Peak Emperor Level. If he still couldn't kill him in one blow, then all his years of cultivation would have been in vain.

"You are... Imperial Preceptor Chen Mu?"

Su Miaoyin escaped death and was shocked to find that her savior was Chen Mu, whom she had only met once.

"Haha, Fairy Miaoyin, it's been a long time!"

The room had obviously been arranged by Su Miaoyin long ago, so no noise could be heard from inside. Therefore, Chen Mu was not in a hurry to leave and greeted Su Miaoyin with a smile.

How did you get here? Who sent you?

Su Miaoyin's eyes were wary.

"Haha, I've wanted to kill Long Xiang for a long time. Now that I've run into him, I certainly won't let him go."

Long Xiang and the Heavenly Puppet Sect colluded and once sent a large army to raid the capital of the Chen Kingdom. Chen Mu has not forgotten this grudge.

Now that he has met him, even if no one assassinates Long Xiang, Chen Mu will find a way to kill him. His appearance now is just going with the flow.
