492: Strong suppression

Mu Ruoxi’s pretty face was flushed, and her eyes sparkled with deep shyness.

Although she was a Half-step Immortal Emperor, she had never experienced such a thing before.

Especially when facing such an annoying guy like Su Changqing.

She suddenly recalled her first meeting with Su Changqing that day; she had thought her meticulously planned approach would work, but she never expected him to see through it.

Not only that, but she also became Su Changqing’s prisoner.

This man was simply detestable.

However, compared to being controlled as an ancient god’s agent before, the current situation was clearly better.

Su Changqing at least kept his word, so she didn't have to worry too much, and he even promised to help her ascend to the Immortal Emperor Realm.

“Not bad, whether it’s your figure or your cultivation, you’re considered top-tier in the entire Immortal Realm.”

Su Changqing walked over with a smile, his gaze sweeping up and down, his eyes filled with amusement.

Mu Ruoxi was a bit nervous.

She turned her head away, not looking at Su Changqing’s face.

“Hmph!”

She let out a soft snort, her words full of dissatisfaction.

Su Changqing didn’t mind; he smiled faintly, then took a step forward.

“Since you’re so sincere, then I’ll be merciful.”

Mu Ruoxi: “.......”

Who the hell was sincere?

This guy.

Su Changqing waved his large hand.

The Mountain and River Shrine Diagram appeared.

Mu Ruoxi’s expression gradually changed.

Who knows how long passed.

Perhaps it was endless years.

Mu Ruoxi slowly woke up.

Su Changqing sat by her side, looking at her with a grin.

For some reason, when she looked at his face again, everything didn't seem so loathsome anymore.

It even carried a hint of familiarity.

“You’re awake, you sure can sleep.”

Su Changqing teased.

Mu Ruoxi blushed and playfully hit him.

However, her hits were light and not forceful.

“It’s all your fault!”

Su Changqing held her small hand and chuckled.

Then, after they rested for a while, Su Changqing asked:

“How did you become an ancient god’s agent back then?”

Su Changqing was quite curious about this question.

One must know that the ancient gods were imprisoned and could hardly reach other parts of the Immortal Realm, let alone control Half-step Immortal Emperor level powerhouses in the Immortal Realm.

Speaking of this matter, the smile on Mu Ruoxi’s face abruptly ceased, her gaze distant, and she sighed, saying:

“Actually, the scene where I was being chased, which you saw when we first met that day, wasn’t fabricated; it was a real event.”

“Thousands of years ago, I was the legitimate daughter of the Mu family, but at that time, the Mu family’s foundation was not strong, and it could only be considered a third-rate Family in Central Continent. Later, the Mu family offended a certain force, which led to the ruin of my Family, and I was pursued, fleeing all the way to a Forbidden Ground.”

“That day, I reluctantly stepped into it, originally intending to live in seclusion there for several hundred years, and then emerge for revenge once my cultivation was complete. But after staying there for a few months, I suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice calling out.”

Mu Ruoxi recounted her past.

Su Changqing was thoughtful.

Evidently, the Forbidden Ground Mu Ruoxi mentioned was precisely the Forbidden Ground where Su Changqing had been teleported.

And after she stayed in the Forbidden Ground for a few months, she heard the ancient god’s summons.

Mu Ruoxi took a deep breath and continued to describe:

“That day, I followed the voice and found an Immortal Cave. There were countless statues there, and at that time, I was only at the True Immortal Realm, unable to resist the ancient god’s Gu, so he planted a Restriction on me.”

“However, the ancient god told me to become his agent walking among mortals, promised me supreme power, and even supreme authority when they descended upon the Immortal Realm.”

“Later, with the ancient god’s support, my cultivation and combat power soared. After leaving the Forbidden Land, I annihilated the force that had destroyed my Mu family.”

“…………”

Mu Ruoxi clearly described the cause and effect of the events back then, and Su Changqing listened, nodding silently.

Anyone who entered the Forbidden Land would be tempted by the ancient gods and then have a Restriction planted on them.

Su Changqing suddenly recalled that he had placed the Immortal Wind Sect people in the Forbidden Land back then.

Someone found the ancient god’s statue.

Perhaps, within the Immortal Wind Sect, someone was tempted by the ancient god and then had a Restriction planted on them.

This possibility… was very high.

Thinking of this, Su Changqing narrowed his eyes.

After returning to the Sect these few days, he really needed to investigate thoroughly.

If any Disciples controlled by the ancient gods were discovered, they must not be left unchecked.

These people were all pawns of the ancient gods!

“So you’ve been operating in the Immortal Realm for so many years, secretly obeying the ancient god’s commands.”

Mu Ruoxi nodded:

“That’s right.”

“The ancient gods told me to accumulate power, to contend for treasures for them, and to accelerate their recovery.”

Su Changqing hummed in acknowledgment, then asked:

“If I’m not mistaken, you’re not the only ancient god’s agent in the Immortal Realm, are you?”

Mu Ruoxi did not hide anything and nodded, saying:

“That’s right, there are three major headquarters in the Immortal Realm, and I am only one of them. The strength of the other two major headquarters is not much different from my subordinates.”

Upon hearing this, Su Changqing couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Three major headquarters, and their strengths were all similar.

This was a bit terrifying.

One should know that Mu Ruoxi’s subordinates included hundreds of Immortal Venerables.

Adding her, a Half-step Immortal Emperor, they were enough to sweep through most forces in the Immortal Realm.

Now, there were two more headquarters, indicating that the number of these Black-Clothed Immortal Reverends was well over a thousand.

Such a vast force, having been hidden in the Immortal Realm for so long, was truly incredible.

“Where are the other two headquarters?”

Su Changqing narrowed his eyes and asked.

Leaving these two headquarters might cause trouble, so it would be best to eliminate them directly.

Upon hearing this, Mu Ruoxi shook her head.

“I don’t know either.”

“The ancient gods have always contacted us one-way. The three of us headquarters leaders have only met once, and we were all cloaked in black robes, concealing our auras, so we had no idea who the other party was.

It’s even possible that those two are prominent figures in the Immortal Realm on the surface.”

Su Changqing was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, but he also understood.

After all, it was reasonable for the ancient gods to do so.

Afterward, Su Changqing asked some more details, which yielded some gains.

After all, as one of the three major headquarters leaders, Mu Ruoxi naturally knew a lot.

Finally, after two hours of continuous questioning, Su Changqing completely “drained” her before he stopped.

“I’ve told you everything I know.”

Mu Ruoxi spread her hands.

Su Changqing smiled and nodded:

“In that case, let’s do what we’re supposed to do again.”

Do what they were supposed to do again?

Mu Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, not yet reacting.

“Hiss!”

This guy…

Mu Ruoxi was helpless.

Soon, inside the Mountain and River Shrine Diagram, time flew by.

A few days later, Su Changqing finally stopped his actions.

Afterward, he continued to refine Puppets; there were still several hundred Puppets that had not been completed.

As for Mu Ruoxi, she began to meditate nearby to recover her cultivation.
