Chapter 142: Moonlight BBQ

Ghost Sect!

It's Ghost Sect again.

Zhao Mu is familiar with this name, but he didn't expect that their power has penetrated deep into the Ten Thousand Monsters Forest.

"Ghost Sect?"

Tangdou shook his head: "I really want to hear my father mention this name, but I don't remember it very well. It seems that it was established not long ago."

For Tangdou, it was established not long ago, which proves that Ghost Sect has been established for at least three thousand years.

However, in the cultivation world, Ghost Sect is not well-known, and not many people know about it, which shows that this force is quite low-key.

A heretic sect, but so low-key and forbearing, is even more terrifying.

"I took the Dragon Soul Orb, do you have any objection?" Tangdou glared at the white ape zombie in a fierce manner.

"Don't dare..."

How dare the white ape zombie object? It's good enough to save his life.

Tangdou nodded with satisfaction.

"Let's go."

Zhao Mu summoned the air boat and went up again.

It was peaceful all the way.

It was night again.

After this night, Empress Qingyun will be released from the small dark room again.

To be honest, Zhao Mu would rather deal with Little Tangdou.

After all, Empress Qingyun is an upgraded and enhanced version of Little Tangdou, and she is even more domineering and arbitrary.

As long as you give Little Tangdou delicious food, she is still easy to coax.

But this trick obviously doesn't work on Empress Qingyun.

But what is coming cannot be avoided, so you can only let it go.

The next morning, Zhao Mu woke up in a hidden cave.

He didn't see Empress Qingyun.

Zhao Mu immediately went out.

But she was sitting on a large bluestone outside the cave, with her eyes closed and spiritual charm flowing on her body.

After a closer look, Zhao Mu found that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was constantly pouring into her body.

Tangdou's body is like a bottomless pit. No matter how much spiritual energy goes in, it can't be filled.

Zhao Mu didn't dare to disturb her, so he could only stay aside to prevent the monster from approaching.

But Zhao Mu was completely overthinking.

That was the Empress Qingyun, a powerful person who had passed the tribulation. Even though her physical body was gone and her strength was not as good as that of her peak period, her spiritual pressure was still quite strong, and ordinary monsters did not dare to approach her.

After waiting for almost half an hour, Empress Qingyun finally opened her eyes.

She said lightly: "Let's go."

"Okay."

Zhao Mu took out the air boat.

Traveling day and night, he went tens of thousands of miles deep into the Ten Thousand Monsters Forest in one day.

With Zhao Mu's spiritual power, he certainly could not sustain such a large consumption. Empress Qingyun took over the second half of the journey. She drove the air boat at a speed several times that of Zhao Mu, and the spiritual power consumed was negligible to her, and it was nothing at all.

Zhao Mu was happy to be free. He took a pill to restore his spiritual power and opened the map to check the route.

The Ten Thousand Monsters Forest was too big. It seemed that he had traveled a lot of distance, but in fact, he did not go very far.

"Empress, how long will it take us to reach our destination?" Zhao Mu asked.

The deeper he went into the Ten Thousand Monsters Forest, the more dangerous it was, Zhao Mu's intuition told him.

If we go deeper, who knows what we will encounter.

"It will take another ten days at my speed."

Tangdou will not make any effort to travel. If he is given to Zhao Mu at other times, his efficiency will not be half of that of the Qingyun Queen.

It is estimated that it will take at least fifteen days to reach the destination.

Just bear it slowly.

It is another starry night.

The Qingyun Queen stopped the airship on the top of a mountain.

The trees in front began to decrease, and the mountains and peaks became more numerous. The mountain stream was filled with dark clouds, poisonous gas, evil spirit, miasma, and yin mixed together, and it felt like a dangerous area.

From the map, the mountain range in front is called Jiuwu Mountain. The mountain range is spiral, like a huge Samsara Eye, with a range of more than two thousand miles.

There must be many big monsters entrenched in Jiuwu Mountain, which is very dangerous.

No wonder the Qingyun Queen stopped outside the mountain. It is not a wise choice to pass through Jiuwu Mountain at night.

But with the strength of the Qingyun Queen, she should not be afraid of these ordinary monsters.

Could it be that she chose to stop because she was concerned about Zhao Mu's safety?

Zhao Mu hurriedly opened the system interface, but did not find the name of the Qingyun Empress, nor the name of Tangdou.

That's right, she is now just a ball of spiritual power, not a real person, so the system will naturally not display it.

"What does the Empress want to eat? I still have a lot of ingredients here."

After finding an open space to sit down, Zhao Mu lit a fire and set up a pot, preparing to have a big meal.

"No need, eat it yourself."

The Qingyun Empress looked calm, she sat cross-legged, and began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth again.

So cold...

Zhao Mu suddenly missed Tangdou a little.

If it were her, she would definitely look at him with an expectant look while he was cooking.

Shaking his head, Zhao Mu didn't think much about it. He took out a pot of marinated spirit beast meat, cut it into small pieces and strung it into skewers, and started a small barbecue by lighting charcoal.

After a while, the fragrance wafted out.

Zhao Mu took out another jar of fruit wine and started eating happily.

But before he could open his mouth, the Qingyun Empress suddenly sat over.

"I didn't expect you to be a good cook."

After a light compliment, the Qingyun Empress picked up the skewers and tasted them.

Didn't you say you didn't want to eat...

Sure enough, the foodie personality of her childhood is still preserved.

Even a 3,000-year-old empress can't resist the temptation of delicious food.

Zhao Mu smiled and poured another bowl of wine for the empress: "Drink some?"

"This is not strong enough, it tastes like water."

"Come on, there's some strong wine, too. I'll fill it up for you."

Zhao Mu opened another jar of spirits, which was also looted from Xionglin City.

A mouthful of skewers and a mouthful of liquor.

Although Empress Qingyun's face remained calm, her eating and drinking speed was not slow at all.

After a while, she destroyed most of the barbecue prepared by Zhao Mu alone.

Empress Qingyun raised her head and looked at Zhao Mu. Although she didn't speak, her meaning was already obvious.

Zhao Mu smiled and said, "Also, I'll bake it right now."

He suddenly felt that although the Empress and Tangdou split into two different consciousnesses, they were still the same person in the final analysis. However, the three thousand years of life as the leader of the Demon Sect had given Empress Qingyun a thick layer of disguise.

If anyone could peel off her disguise, they would definitely see that she is still the innocent, gluttonous, fun-loving, and domineering little jelly bean.

But soon Zhao Mu was dumbfounded.

This big jelly bean is so edible and drinkable.

Not only has her foodie persona been retained, but she has also undergone a major upgrade.

The meat and wine in Zhao Mu's storage ring were actually consumed by her alone.

So in the middle of the night, when Empress Qingyun reached out again, Zhao Mu could no longer bring out the wine and meat.

Zhao Mu spread his hands and said, "No more."

Empress Qingyun's expression was slightly disappointed, but she soon returned to a look of neither sadness nor joy. She turned around and continued to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Zhao Mu had free time and teleported the five little spirit beasts to improve their cultivation.

I was very lucky today. I actually triggered two five-thousand-fold returns. Suddenly, Zhao Mu's cultivation level skyrocketed for nearly a hundred years, and he successfully broke through to the ninth level of Nascent Soul.

When Zhao Mu broke through, Empress Qingyun felt something. She opened her eyes and glanced at Zhao Mu, her eyes seemed a bit surprised.
