After the outsiders had left, only Hao Tian, Yuan Xi, and Emperor Yuan Hao remained at Tian Wu Hall .
At this time, the Nine Regicides King and the Spectral Concubine, who had left last, were already far away . Only then did Yuan Hao dare to slam the table, his face full of rage . He said, "Wu You, that slut! She dares to play such tricks with me!? I want the order out now, to exterminate her maternal tribe!"
"Pa!" Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian's gaze turned cold . With just a look, he turned the wine on the table into a palm, which delivered a slap to Yuan Hao's cheek, turning it red .
"Why did you hit me?" Yuan Hao leapt back, frightened . This slap confused him .
"You have been too rash lately . It's so obvious that if I were not in Capital Wu, your empire would be played out within a few days," Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian coldly replied .
"You . . . You treat Yuan Chen like your treasure . I'm also your son, but you've never even favored me once!" Hearing such an insult, in addition to the stinging slap, Yuan Hao's self-control was starting to crack .
"Shut up . If not for you, Master would not remain at Capital Wu . Now get out and reflect . " Empress Dowager Yuan Xi also stared with some threat in her eyes .
"Hmph . " Yuan Hao flicked his sleeves and left in a huff .
"Master, please do not blame Yuan Hao . " Yuan Xi prostrated herself pitifully before Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian . She was too clear on the disparity between an immortal and a mortal . If it were not for the fact that Yuan Chen was accomplished, Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian would not even look at her .
"That useless Yuan Hao . I can't be bothered with him . " Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian dismissed it with a wave, and said, "Yuan Xi, the only strange thing today is: why did Sun Wudao speak up for Wu You and help her to cause Spectral Concubine and the others to stay in Capital Wu for a month's time?"
Yuan Xi stood up and considered this . She said, "My instincts tell me that Sun Wudao might have an interest in Wu You . I hear some gossip that the citizens of Dong Yue Wu are very unhappy that we are giving Princess Wu You's hand in marriage to the Nine Regicides King . "
"When Dong Yue Wu has a navy and we triple our territory, they will all shut up . " Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian laughed indifferently .
"Yes, with Yuan Chen around, we have a reason to remain in control at Dong Yue Wu . And then we will expand the country . All the cultivation resources within our borders will belong to you, Master . "
That was the reason that they were allying with East God Nation .
Immortals could not interfere in mortal conflicts . If Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian wanted more, this was a great idea .

"We cannot let Sun Wudao ruin our work . " A fierce glint appeared in Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian's eyes .
Yuan Xi had an idea . She said, "Not so . If he wants to cause trouble, he must go up against the Spectral Concubine . You say that the Spectral Concubine is more powerful than he is . That will be a good opportunity to use the Spectral Concubine to finish him off and take revenge for Senior Sister Wan Qing . Master, you raised Senior Sister Wan Qing from young . You have to avenge her so she can rest peacefully . "
Given the situation now, they could not move openly on Wu Yu .
"I wanted Sun Wudao to remain peacefully on Heavenly Immortal Peak . Since he has come to cause trouble and irk the Spectral Concubine, then I cannot be blamed . At most, Sun Wudao will be finished off . That will be trouble between the Scarlet Sea's Seven Ghosts and the Heavenly Sword Sect . It will h ave nothing to do with us . If the Heavenly Sword Sect sends another Immortal Kingdom Supervisor, then Yuan Chen and the others can deal with it .
"I just feel that this Sun Wudao seems to be a threat . Sending him to hell would be prudent . "
Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian considered this, then made his decision .
. . . . . .
East Sun Hall .
This was the most luxurious place within the palace . It was where Dong Yue Wu royalty received their most esteemed guests . The Spectral Concubine and the Nine Regicides King stayed within .
East Sun Hall normally glittered golden, but the Nine Regicides King had given orders for all candles and lights to be extinguished, plunging the huge palace into darkness . It looked dead and desolate in the middle of the night .
In the main hall of East Sun Hall, the Spectral Concubine lazed on a golden chair . She was tightly wrapped in clothing, revealing only a pair of slender, white legs . A tall and sturdy man was kneeling beneath her feet . Although he was smiling, his ugly features only made it look grotesque .
His huge, rough hands were carefully cupping Spectral Concubine's feet . He was using his tongue to lick the Spectral Concubine and make her laugh .
The Spectral Concubine giggled and said, "Oh, Regicides, dear, you have been entranced by a beauty today . Even without my agreement, you already gave your consent . If I still had my past temper, that would have been your head . "
"Sorceress, spare me! In Regicide's heart, the Sorceress is the most beautiful immortal in the world . That Princess Wu You, once married back to the East God Nation, can be given to the brothers to enjoy some Dong Yue Wu flavor," the Nine Regicides King guffawed .
"I don't believe it . Aren't you itching for her? After all, she's also a beauty . "

"Your Darling Regicides only has the Sorceress in his heart," the Nine Regicides King vowed .
"Go, you outrageous mortal . Your life is mine . " Spectral Concubine tinkled .
"Your wish is my command!" Nine Regicides King said .
"Then why did you lengthen our stay by a month?"
"Regicides once heard the Sorceress say that the Dong Sheng Divine Continent is a taboo ground for you . You wanted to taste fresh meat here . . . Except there was no opportunity . Since Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian has invited you over, it is a rare opportunity . The Sorceress has been starved on the road, and now is a good time to enjoy myself in Capital Wu . "
"I see . Darling Regicides, you are so thoughtful . " Spectral Concubine laughed until her body shook .
The two chatted for a couple of hours, then the Spectral Concubine withdrew her pristine legs and said, "That will do . Go and rest . The time has come for me to go and hunt . "
"Respectful greetings to the Sorceress . " Nine Regicides King prostrated himself on the floor .
. . . . . .
Back in Carefree Palace, Wu You breathed a sigh of relief .
"I was so afraid that you were going to fight that Spectral Concubine there and then . " Wu You's beautiful eyes turned to Wu Yu, concerned .
"Relax . I am now on the path of the Immortal Dao . I am naturally clear that unless I have no other choice, there is no need to duke to the death against those stronger than myself . " Wu Yu smiled slightly
No matter what, he could not cause worry to the person who cared the most about him in this world .
"Next, I will bring that Nine Regicides King and Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian in circles . You focus on cultivating . I think a month is the limit of the East God Nation people . It's up to you how much you can improve in this month . . . . "
Wu You had fought hard for this time .

"Sister, I will not disappoint you," Wu Yu vowed with conviction .
"If we are forced into a corner and become helpless, then I will die in battle before your eyes . "
Wu You listened to him, her eyes wet with tears . She shook her head, saying, "You must remember that I will never be disappointed by you, no matter how things turn out . Compared to you, my life is inconsequential . You are on the immortal path, and your future is unlimited . Do not waste your life for me; otherwise, I will not be able to rest in the next world . "
Her attitude was firm .
Wu Yu knew that there was no point in debating further . He should instead make use of the time to cultivate A Staff to Ascension .
After Wu You had gone to bed, Wu Yu rested for a while to recover his energy, then he took out the Demon Subduing Staff .
"The practice room is too enclosed, whereas A Staff to Ascension requires a will with space to expand . I had better find the most expansive space that I can . "
Luckily, there was a tower within Carefree Palace . From the highest point, one could see half of Capital Wu . The field of vision was excellent, and Wu Yu went there in the night . He looked down on the seemingly peaceful Capital Wu, where dangers were abound on many battlefields . He closed his eyes and concentrated, gripping the Demon Subduing Staff . He carefully felt out the connection between the Demon Subduing Staff, his surroundings, and himself .
"I am calm . I am at peace . "
Wu Yu tried to psych himself up .
But sometimes, the more anxious one was, the more impossible it was to enter a state of deep concentration . And his heart was restless because he knew deep down that he was still extremely far from achieving A Staff to Ascension .
"How? Just how should I comprehend A Staff to Ascension?"
This had become Wu Yu's greatest worry .
As he was wrestling with his conflicted thoughts, a strange stench suddenly appeared in the air of Capital Wu . The smell of blood, mingled with a sinister scent . . . .
Wu Yu's eyes flared open .
"No demonic aura . Not a demon . Who would be using such methods to kill people in Capital Wu in the dead of night?"
He liked to mind his own business .
However, he was born in Capital Wu, and he had a deep affection for the citizens of Capital Wu . This was his homeland .
Whoosh!
Wu Yu brandished the Demon Subduing Staff and instantly disappeared from the tower . He disappeared from the streets of Capital Wu .
"This way!"
The closer he got, the thicker the malevolent scent became . This was not a scent that an ordinary fight between mortals could create . It had to be the supernatural at work .
"The Spectral Concubine!"
Wu Yu knew that it had to be her .
Wan Qing was already killed . It had to be the Spectral Concubine .
In a flash, he arrived at a quiet house . The door was open, and from within came a wave of the stench of blood . It was evil, but also different from a demonic aura .
Wu Yu stood outside the house . He could see that the walls, furniture, and floor inside the house were covered in fresh blood . There were four corpses on the floor - an old man, an old woman, as well as a young couple . All had died in a terrible fashion, and the blood that painted the house belonged to them .
In the bedroom, there was still movement . A shadow moved in the blackness . When Wu Yu looked, the person had also sensed Wu Yu's presence . They turned back . It was indeed the Spectral Concubine, her face pale!
Both her hands were covered in fresh blood . Behind her was a wooden bed, which had been torn apart, revealing a diagram drawn in fresh blood on the wooden boards . And in the middle of the diagram was a child, still crying at the top of his lungs . He was unharmed, but the blood diagram on the wood began to glow, and tentacles seemed to reach within the body of the infant .
