169: The Land of the Sky, Mutation

Nangong Mingyue's complexion was as enchanting as snow.

Her words were very clear: if Shen Mo and Nangong Lingyu didn't cooperate with her, then everyone would die together, and no one would get to play!

No one would be able to enter the Royal Forbidden Ground; she would stir up trouble before the Battle of Offerings even arrived.

"It's just a pity that it's hard to hook up with the higher-ups of those outsiders, and I don't fancy the ones I can hook up with now."

Nangong Mingyue said with a rather regretful expression, "Otherwise, we would have to reach a cooperation agreement with the higher-ups of those outsiders; that would be our best way out."

"What? Why are you both looking at me like that?" Nangong Mingyue asked, looking at Nangong Lingyu and Shen Mo with a bewildered expression.

The latter's face was speechless. "If you weren't the Second Princess of the Tianlong Kingdom, I'd suspect you were actually an outsider's undercover agent."

"Tsk tsk, little brother, you're the one who looks like an outsider's undercover agent, aren't you?" Nangong Mingyue's complexion was as enchanting as snow, exquisitely charming.

She raised a finger and gently tapped Shen Mo's chin, slightly lifting his chin with her slender, spring onion-like fingertip, saying, "How about this: you follow me, and I'll secure you immense glory and wealth."

"I like tender, fresh little brothers like you the most."

"You truly look delicious."

She lightly licked the corner of her lips, her eyes like silken threads, captivating and soul-stirring.

"Forget it, I respectfully decline; I am a man with an owner!"

Shen Mo puffed out his chest.

This enchantress was extremely cruel; if he followed her, who knew how he'd be drained dry!

Tsk, he respectfully declined!

Nangong Mingyue smiled lightly, not forcing the issue.

Although she was enchanting and seductive, she never forced others.

Moreover, she had just been deliberately teasing Shen Mo.

"Alright, I see you're also a devoted person. In that case, so be it."

Her voice chuckled, then her expression became calm as she said, "I will come to watch your Battle of Offerings then."

"When you enter the Royal Forbidden Ground, I will come and tell you exactly what to do."

"Little brother, good luck!"

Nangong Mingyue's red lips gently pressed against Shen Mo's earlobe, blowing a breath into it, then she chuckled and left.

Shen Mo rubbed his ticklish earlobe, turned to see Nangong Lingyu's very displeased expression, and said with some frustration, "Look at you, you're still the Third Princess of the Tianlong Kingdom, and you even know Heavenly Fox Charm Arts!"

"And this is all you've got?"

"You can't even compare to thirty percent of your Second Imperial Sister!"

Shen Mo gave an objective assessment!

Nangong Lingyu's expression changed.

She was originally very displeased that Shen Mo had secretly made an agreement with Nangong Mingyue without asking her at all...

She was very displeased!

But then, after being rebuked by Shen Mo like that, she suddenly felt a bit lost.

What?

She didn't even have one-third of her Second Imperial Sister's charm?!

Nangong Lingyu suddenly felt a bit ashamed and frustrated in her heart.

By the time she came to her senses, Shen Mo on the other side had already leisurely walked away.

Are you kidding me?!

Should he stay and be a punching bag?

An unreasonable woman is the most unreasonable at this time.

Shen Mo didn't want to stay and deal with Nangong Lingyu's endless questions.

Women are so troublesome.

Oh, his wife isn't!

——

While Shen Mo was thinking this, in another part of the Sky Vault Land.

Feng Linghuang and others had already established their initial camp here.

The place they were in was where Feng Linghuang had previously killed that original treant.

Because they didn't know if there were other Starry Sky Myriad Races in this place, the people around Feng Linghuang didn't dare to wander around casually.

But when they followed Feng Linghuang's orders and walked in this Sky Vault Land, they were extremely surprised to find that Feng Linghuang's familiarity with this place was simply incomparable to theirs.

She knew most of the survival rules here, knew when they could walk and when they couldn't, what they could touch and what they couldn't.

The information from the Imperial Capital Research Institute and the Wu Department was not as accurate as her words; it was as if she had been here before and spent countless years here.

Initially, the people in the team refuted Feng Linghuang's words, but later, in order to continue living, they began to actively seek Feng Linghuang's advice.

As long as she told them not to walk, they wouldn't take a single step.

As long as she said where to stop, they would absolutely not take one more step.

The entire team, after a few days, completely became Feng Linghuang's one-woman show.

And what was even more terrifying was that the formation of this one-woman show was not due to pressure from the imperial capital's higher-ups, nor due to the Imperial Capital Research Institute's recommendation, but rather from everyone's heartfelt trust and support for Feng Linghuang.

And since coming here, Feng Linghuang's strength had also improved by leaps and bounds, progressing even faster.

This place was originally the junction point between the Starry Sky Myriad Races and Blue Star, and also a place where spiritual energy escaped. Here, Feng Linghuang's cultivation speed was extremely fast, and the improvement speed of her Mystic Phoenix Body was also terrifyingly strong.

Shen Mo was improving himself in the secret realm, constantly harvesting Soft Rice Value.

Correspondingly, Feng Linghuang's improvement speed also continuously surged due to his massive increase in Soft Rice Value.

In short, the stronger Shen Mo's potential and the greater his ability, the faster Feng Linghuang's improvement speed would be.

She was almost being carried by Shen Mo single-handedly.

And the phoenix feather above her head was also continuously refining the Xuanhuang aura within her body.

At this time, Feng Linghuang had already awakened two more innate abilities.

These two abilities were two Xuanhuang techniques inherent in her body!

——

While Feng Linghuang's strength was continuously increasing, somewhere in the Sky Vault Land.

Two people who had come to the Sky Vault Land with Feng Linghuang and others were currently gathered together, saying with sinister expressions, "Feng Linghuang's strength is getting stronger and stronger!"

"The spiritual energy here is very suitable for her strength to improve."

"We can't let this continue; we must kill her as soon as possible!"

Someone made a gesture of chopping their hand towards their neck, and the other person also strongly agreed with his action.

He whispered, "Then let's quickly complete the task assigned to us by the higher-ups!"

The two gathered together and discussed for a long time, then quickly went their separate ways.

And when Feng Linghuang and the others went out the next day, with a boom, an extremely powerful fluctuation suddenly erupted in a certain area ahead.

"Buzz!"

Feng Linghuang's figure was right in the center of that violent fluctuation.

The next second, her figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
