Chapter 296 Old Woman

Just as Xu Mu was recovering from meditation, two rays of light, as fast as lightning, flew from a distance at great speed, flashed in front of his eyes, and finally stopped in the sky above the palace.

The light dissipated, revealing two figures, one tall and one short. The taller one was a young man, wearing a green robe and full of nobility. The short one was an old woman, wearing a gray robe, with a wrinkled face, and holding a stick in her hand. Purple wooden staff.

The young man stood half a step behind the old woman, bowing slightly, obviously respecting the old woman.

The auras of the two of them were thick and majestic, like two towering mountains, especially the old woman, which gave people the feeling of a high mountain and unfathomable depth.

Xu Mu was awakened immediately and looked at the two of them in shock.

The auras of these two people far surpassed his, and they could never be at the Golden Core stage.

At the same time, several people who were searching in the palace hurriedly ran out of the palace after sensing the aura, and flew forward to salute.

"Meet the ancestors! Meet the seventeenth uncle!"

When the few people faced the old woman, their expressions of respect and fear were beyond words, making Xu Mu feel like he was watching a primary school student meet his parents.

Even the arrogant seventh princess cannot avoid it.

What is the identity of this old woman that can actually make the proud and arrogant Seventh Princess afraid?

Xu Mu was very shocked.

"Um!"

The old woman nodded to a few people, and then looked at Xu Mu expressionlessly.

Xu Mu was the only outsider present, and the others were all princes and princesses. It was difficult not to attract attention.

According to the news she received when she came, it was said that the Nascent Soul stage had appeared in the space. Several princes and princesses had treasures left by the royal family. She was not surprised that they could survive. Xu Mu, a casual cultivator, could survive. Don't let her look at you differently.

"I didn't expect this old woman to still be alive!" The black Nascent Soul in his body complained disdainfully.

Xu Mu ignored the black Nascent Soul, stepped forward respectfully and saluted: "Junior Xu Mu! I have met two seniors!"

The old woman did not speak, but nodded slightly to Xu Mu, then withdrew her gaze and looked at the eldest prince standing in the front.

Although Xu Mu's existence was a bit unexpected, it was not worthy of her too much attention.

"Chen'er, can you tell me the specific story?"

The eldest prince's real name is Li Quanchen.

The eldest prince here has the highest status and the highest cultivation level, so it is natural to ask him first.

"yes!"

The eldest prince respectfully told the information he knew, and then the old woman asked several people, including Xu Mu.

Xu Muzhi said that he was lucky. He was trapped with the Seventh Princess and managed to survive with the help of the Seventh Princess.

The seventh princess didn't know whether she was afraid of the old woman or had other thoughts, so she also didn't tell the truth.

The old woman had no doubts about what the two said. Perhaps she felt that this was reasonable.

After asking everyone, the old woman asked the young man to stay to protect everyone, and she went to chase the black Nascent Soul alone.

Based on the information she obtained from several people, she speculated that this willing creature should be condensed using secret techniques. It would be good if its strength could barely reach the Nascent Soul stage, and it could not pose a threat to her.

This also explains from the side why several people were able to escape.

There is a huge gap between the Nascent Soul stage and the Golden Core stage. Even if a few people have Yuanying stage treasures in their hands, they may not be able to survive when faced with the real Nascent Soul stage, not to mention that the opponent still controls the formation and has many golden elixirs. Dan corpse puppet.

Now this explanation couldn't be more reasonable.

"The ancestor is three generations older than us. She is from the same era as the ancestor of the royal family. Even the ancestor calls her aunt. Her cultivation level is only one step away from reaching the late stage of Nascent Soul. After practicing, I don't know With so many powerful magical powers, I didn’t expect that she was actually nearby, and that black Nascent Soul will definitely not be able to escape now!”

After the old woman left, the fifth prince sent a message to Xu Mu with a hint of excitement. He probably also wanted to remind Xu Mu to prevent him from offending the old woman.

"He's just an old immortal! He practiced for more than a thousand years and ate countless treasures of heaven and earth before he reached the middle stage of Nascent Soul. He's a waste!" said the black Nascent Soul in his body with disdain.

If the old woman's resources were given to him, no matter what, he would still be a great monk in the late Nascent Soul stage.

Xu Mu was unable to complain about the other party.

The person who can cultivate to the middle stage of Yuanying is not a genius. There are only a few middle stages of Yuanying in the entire continent. In any sect, he is a very important figure. This guy actually looks down on the middle stage of Yuanying?

"Who is that young man?"

Xu Mu asked with his heart.

"My half-brother is a loser. When he was fighting for the throne, he was completely transparent. He must have taken the secret medicine, otherwise it would be impossible for him to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage with his qualifications!"

Towards that Seventeenth Emperor's Uncle, Black Nascent Soul's words were even more disdainful.

"I've always been curious. Isn't it said that the higher your cultivation level, the harder it is to give birth to an heir? Why do your royal family have so many direct descendants?"

As far as he knew, the eldest prince, the seventh princess, including Li Youlan, were all born to the emperor during the Nascent Soul stage, and this fertility rate had already caught up with the system's talent.

"Of course it's medicine. It's not a secret. I just don't know the specific medicine. It's all in the hands of that old guy!"

"oh!"

Xu Mu didn't delve into it.

If he didn't have the family talent, he might find a way to find out, but now it's dispensable.

Because the uncle of the Seventeenth Emperor was watching, Xu Mu did not dare to talk too much to the black Nascent Soul and continued to find a place to meditate to recover from his injuries.

The Seventh Princess and others continued to search the palace. After the search was completed, they hunted corpse puppets and ghosts nearby without resting for a moment.

The few people who suffered heavy losses can only hope to get a good ranking and recover a little bit of their losses.

The seventeenth emperor's uncle did not always stay by their side. He also entered the palace to collect useful clues, and only occasionally released his spiritual thoughts to check on the situation of a few people.

Five or six days passed in the blink of an eye. The old woman who went out to search returned with a gloomy face.

"I searched the entire space and used all my magical powers to search the sky and the earth, but I couldn't find any clues!"

If it weren't for the residual aura of the other party in the palace, the old woman would have suspected that several people had colluded to deceive her.

"how so?"

"impossible!"

Several people didn't believe this result.

This is not in the outside world. The place is so big. Even if the other party wants to hide, where can he hide?

With the old woman's methods, as long as the other party hides in this space, it is impossible to hide.

Only Xu Mu took it for granted, because the black shadow was just a ray of spiritual thought from the black Nascent Soul. It dissipated on its own after leaving, and there was no trace at all.

The black Nascent Soul within the body naturally taunted with pride again.

This made Xu Mu have to sigh, they really deserve to be a family, they are just like the Seventh Princess, and no one looks down on them.

"You continue the trial! We will stay here until the trial is over. If we meet him again or find useful information, he may send a message to us directly!"

The old woman took out a few jade slips for communication and gave them to several people, and Xu Mu was lucky enough to get one.

Several people said their goodbyes and left, while Xu Mu and the fifth prince walked together.

Before the seventh princess left, she gave Xu Mu a hateful look, full of threats.

After leaving the central palace far away, the fifth prince asked tentatively: "Fellow Daoist Xu, do you have any misunderstanding with Qimei?"
