"As the human race says, 'If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. If the enemy moves, I won't move either.' Just treat it as non-existent air and keep moving forward."

"Perhaps it just happened to be on our way."

Gu Qingze felt relieved upon hearing this. He nodded and decided not to pay attention to the monster behind him and concentrate on flying his sword forward.

Sure enough, just as Murong Jin said, after following for a while, the monster seemed to have found its own direction, slowly deviated from their route, flew towards another unknown area, and finally disappeared into the vast sky.

...........

After a long time, they finally arrived at their destination after a long and tortuous journey.

Gu Qingze looked around and saw only darkness in front of him. The bare trees stood like dead bones, exuding an air of death that made him feel a chill in his heart.

He turned his head in confusion and his eyes fell on Murong Jin who brought him here.

Murong Jin seemed unusually calm, as if he had expected all this.

He smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, this is not the final destination yet. Follow me for two more steps and you will see a different scene."

After saying that, he took a step forward and continued walking forward.

Although Gu Qingze was full of doubts, he still followed closely behind him and stepped into this unknown area step by step.

Apart from those dead trees, there is hardly any living creature here. It is desolate, as if it is a corner forgotten by the world.

However, Murong Jin seemed to know the place well. He walked to a big and sturdy tree and began to tap on the trunk gently a few times as if he was typing "Morse code".

The knocking sounds were intermittent, with different intervals between them, as if they had some rhythm.

After knocking, Murong Jin left the big tree and stood there quietly, as if waiting for something.

A moment later, the ground not far from the tree suddenly shook a few times, and then a small black hole that could only accommodate one person appeared quietly.

"Follow me quickly." After Murong Jin said that, he jumped into the small black hole without hesitation.

Gu Qingze looked at the black hole. Although it was pitch black inside and he couldn't see anything, he still plucked up his courage, followed closely and jumped in.

He only felt a strong sense of dizziness, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a place similar to a tomb.

No...this is clearly a tomb!

Gu Qingze was startled, but then he saw Murong Jin pushing open the lid of a coffin-like thing, revealing a body of a person who seemed to be dead.

Murong Jin looked at the corpse expressionlessly, as if he was just examining an ordinary object.

Then he turned around and motioned Gu Qingze to come over.

Gu Qingze was stunned for a moment before slowly moving towards him and stopping not far from him.

"You...move him out quickly." Murong Jin's voice echoed in the empty tomb, carrying an unquestionable majesty.

Gu Qingze looked at the male corpse in the coffin. Although the corpse had been eroded by time, it still retained some of its majesty in life.

His face was calm, as if he had just fallen into a deep sleep rather than parting forever.

The corpse was covered with a thin layer of dust, which formed a sharp contrast with the dark and damp environment around it, adding a bit of desolation.

Gu Qingze couldn't help but feel sorry for it. He asked, "Why do you want to move out? Isn't he... the owner of this tomb?"

"Of course not." Murong Jin said calmly, "I just let him live here temporarily. Now, I need you to move him out and have other uses for him."

He seemed unwilling to explain too much on this matter, and just urged: "This time, just listen to me. Do whatever I tell you to do."

"Besides...your master has allowed me to borrow you, so during this period of time, you must listen to me."

"And even if not, in this situation where you know nothing, shouldn't you listen to the words of an elder who is familiar with this place?"

"So, I asked you to move him out, and you moved out. Why are you asking so many whys?"

Although Murong Jin's words were all nonsense, Gu Qingze knew that if he refuted him and angered him... with his own cultivation level... he would definitely not be able to defeat him. He was very clear about his own capabilities.

Besides... this is the Demon Realm, Murong Jin's home turf. In these desolate mountains and wilderness, even if he has many secret spiritual weapons, they will be useless.

What if Murong Jin killed first and then buried the body...the consequences would be unimaginable.

After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Gu Qingze finally figured it all out.

So, he lowered his eyes slightly, nodded slightly, and looked at Murong Jin with an obedient look on his face: "Oh, Senior Murong, I understand. I will do as you say."

Murong Jin looked at his submissive appearance and felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure in his heart, which made him feel much better.
