" Dao of Talismans master whose skill in talismanic arts can rival Chen Mu's?"
Upon hearing what Divine Lord Xuanji said, Long Bo was speechless.
Before today, Long Bo believed that there were a few talisman masters who could compare to Chen Mu.
For example, the Heavenly Puppet Sect has a reclusive Supreme Elder, Yang Huiming, the Pavilion Master of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion who has always been indifferent to worldly affairs, and their Imperial Sacred Academy also has a talisman master who has reached the pinnacle of Dao of Talismans arts.
However, after Chen Mu deciphered the ancient formation of the Haotian Imperial Palace today, he knew that at least in the Pan Emperor Continent, no one's mastery of Dao of Talismans could rival Chen Mu's.
"If that's the case, it's perfectly acceptable for me to hand over Chen Mu to the Divine Lord."
But Divine Lord Xuanji must promise me that I will not let Chen Mu return to the mountains like a tiger, allowing him to once again become an enemy of my Haotian Empire.
Long Bo had naturally heard of the Tomb of the Gods and even had a very detailed understanding of it.
In ancient times, the gods once fought an earth-shattering war that shattered the Primordial Heavenly Realm. The fragments of the shattered world fell underground on the Pan Emperor Continent and eventually became the Tomb of the Gods.
The Tomb of the Gods, influenced by the killing rules left behind by the gods, has become barren and devoid of life, making it an extremely terrifying and ominous place.
However, at the same time, many ancient gods' residences, magical treasures, and even corpses were left there, presenting endless opportunities.
So many years have passed since the War of the Gods, and the easily obtainable treasures and opportunities in the Tomb of the Gods have long been exhausted. Instead, more and more treasure hunters have died there, making it increasingly dangerous, and now fewer and fewer people go there.
"You don't need to worry about that. Since I need him to work for me, I naturally have ways to control him."
Divine Lord Xuanji spoke, he looked at Chen Mu in the center of the hall.
Without the oppressive Imperial Dragon Qi of Long Bo, Chen Mu was no longer in pain. He returned to his original calm and composed demeanor, smiling and nodding to Divine Lord Xuanji as a greeting.
"They've got guts, but unfortunately, they don't have the matching strength."
Divine Power surged in Divine Lord Xuanji's hand, and a pink object crawled out from her palm, quickly shooting towards Chen Mu's brow.
With a whoosh, Divine Lord Xuanji's speed was too fast. Chen Mu felt a dizzying sensation in his head, and then a delicate insect-shaped pattern appeared between his eyebrows, but it quickly disappeared.
What did you do to me?
Faced with God Level expert, Chen Mu's many methods seemed to have lost their effectiveness. He stared coldly at Divine Lord Xuanji and said angrily.
"This is Soul-Devouring Insect, which I obtained from the Insect Clan. The larva that just entered your body is the mother worm, while I control the mother worm."
"Don't worry, as long as I don't give the order, the larvae inside you won't harm you. But if you disobey my command, I will let the Soul-Devouring Insect devour your body and soul, making you experience the excruciating pain of ten thousand ants gnawing at your heart and corroding your bones."
Divine Lord Xuanji laughed heartily, appearing quite satisfied.
"You..."
Chen Mu never expected that a slight lapse in concentration would lead to such a vicious attack. He dared not stay there any longer. Runes swirled around his palms, and with a swift movement, he burrowed into the ground.
"Don't run!"
Long Bo was immediately shocked. He didn't expect that Chen Mu was proficient in escape runes. He immediately stood up and wanted to chase Chen Mu.
However, Divine Lord Xuanji raised his hand to stop him, laughing heartily and saying, "Don't be impatient, he'll be back soon."
Sure enough, as soon as Divine Lord Xuanji finished speaking, Long Bo sensed Chen Mu's aura rising from underground again.
Chen Mu, who had crawled back to the surface from underground, clutched his head tightly, hissing and swaying unsteadily, unable to even stand.
"Stop! Stop!"
Divine Lord Xuanji seemed not to hear what Chen Mu was saying, smiling as he turned to the side and bent down to straighten his outer robe.
"Okay! I promise you, I'll do whatever you say from now on, now stop!!"
After Chen Mu said those words, Divine Lord Xuanji finally showed a satisfied smile. She raised her hand, and a wave of Divine Power spread to Chen Mu's body, causing Chen Mu's body to relax immediately.
He lay on the ground, panting heavily, his back soaked with sweat, completely exhausted.
"Alright, Long Bo, I'll leave this person to you for now."
Remember, I plan to descend to the mortal realm along with several other deities in about six months, and I will need his help then.
You absolutely must protect his safety. If he dies, I will hold you responsible.
Divine Lord Xuanji looked at Long Bo and warned him sternly.
Long Bo is the supreme ruler of the Pan Emperor Continent, but in the eyes of the Divine Lord Xuanji, he is just a mortal. If it weren't for the fact that Long Bo also has the bloodline of the Celestial Person Race, the Divine Lord Xuanji wouldn't even give him a second glance.
"No problem! Since Your Majesty intends to go to the Tomb of the Gods, I will arrange for you to scout the way, so that your journey can be twice as efficient."
Long Bo cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.
Seeing that Long Bo's attitude was good, Divine Lord Xuanji nodded in satisfaction, and then led the other two God-Kings into the pillar of light, turning into light and gradually dissipating.
Long Bo watched the three divine lords leave, a hint of hatred flashing in his eyes, but he didn't show it, concealing it very well.
Only after the three divine lords had completely disappeared did Long Bo turn around and look at Chen Mu.
" Chen Mu, if you had agreed to my request earlier, why would you have suffered like this?"
He smiled, shook his head, turned around, and returned to his dragon throne, where he sat down.
"Now that you have submitted to the Divine Lord Xuanji, you surely wouldn't mind helping me conquer the territory of the Chen Kingdom, would you?"
Chen Mu had already gotten up from the ground. He no longer refused sternly, but stared blankly at the ground, seemingly deep in thought.
" The Divine Lord Xuanji is the Divine Lord Xuanji, and you are you. I don't recall the Divine Lord Xuanji telling me to obey your orders just now, did I?"
Chen Mu's words were sharp, and he immediately got to the point.
"Hehe!"
Long Bo laughed in fury, staring fiercely at Chen Mu: "I can't kill you right now! But I can make you experience the same soul-devouring pain you just suffered. Do you want to try?"
Chen Mu immediately fell silent, and after a long pause, his tone softened.
"So, do those conditions you just mentioned still stand?"
"It's alright, as long as you're willing to surrender, these are all minor matters."
Aside from Chen Mu, Long Bo actually admired all the other generals of the Chen Kingdom. If these matters could be resolved without bloodshed, it was a price he was completely willing to pay.
" The Chen Kingdom Non-Self can rule alone. After all, the Emperor of the Chen Kingdom is only my third uncle. I need time."
