However, everyone was well aware that the Non-Phase Sword Sect could not stay still any longer. They wanted to come here and watch, afraid that the other forces would be the first to open the tomb.
In the manor of the Four Symbols City, many people were standing guard. All of them were clad in golden armor and had cold expressions on their faces. Their eyes constantly swept over the surroundings, and not even the slightest movement could escape their senses.
A figure dressed in white sat beside a stone table in the manor. He looked handsome and had an extraordinary temperament. He held a white folding fan in his hand. It was the heir of the Lu King's palace, Lu Xiao.
This manor was the residence of the Lu palace in Four Appearances City.
At this moment, a figure walked over and bowed towards Lu Xiao, saying, "Reporting to the crown prince, there's someone outside requesting an audience."
"Who is it?" Lu Xiao's eyes could not help but reveal a look of curiosity. Other than the people from the Nine Heaven Immortal Countries, there was probably no one who knew that he lived here.
"It was white-clothed youth. He did not reveal his name, but directly said that he wanted to meet with the Crown Prince. He also said that he had something important to discuss with him." The man continued.
A strange glint flashed in Lu Xiao's eyes. Since the other party had said so, it was likely that he knew that he lived here. It was highly likely that he was someone from an immortal country.
"Let him in." The person said his farewells and left.
Moments later, two silhouettes could be seen walking over. One of them was the person who had just left, while the other was clad in a white robe. His eyes were filled with a profound aura, exuding an extraordinary aura.
If Qin Xuan was here, he would have definitely recognized this person.
The white-robed figure that had arrived was none other than Bai Qiu.
Lu Xiao's gaze swept across Bai Qiu. Moments later, she seemed to recognize him. Her eyebrows pricked up as she said, "You are someone close to Mu Jinyu?"
"Heir Lu has a good memory. My name is Bai Qiu and I'm from the Mu Palace." Bai Qiu nodded slightly, admitting her identity.
"Since you're someone from the Mu Clan, you shouldn't be here. Tell me, why are you here?" Lu Xiao said calmly as she looked at Bai Qiu.
Lu Xiao was such a smart person. At this moment, Mu Jinyu's trusted aide had come to find him alone. If it wasn't for Mu Jinyu's order, then there must have been a hidden motive.
Furthermore, with his understanding of Mu Jinyu, he wouldn't have sent anyone to find him. After all, they had caused some trouble previously.
Then, the possibility of the latter was extremely high.
"I have something that I want to discuss with Crown Prince." Bai Qiu said.
"What is it?" Lu Xiao's eyes were fixed on White Autumn. At that moment, he was growing increasingly convinced that his judgment was not wrong. The reason White Autumn had come to find him was probably behind Mu Jinyu.
Bai Qiu did not respond to Lu Xiao's words. Instead, she glanced at the person beside Lu Xiao and immediately understood. She waved her hand. "All of you can leave. Without my permission, no one is allowed to approach here."
"Crown Prince …" An expert's expression changed and just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Lu Xiao. "Don't worry, all of you can leave."
Seeing that Lu Xiao had made up her mind, the expert did not advise any further. He said to the others, "Everyone, stay far away from this place."
Therefore, other than Bai Qiu and Lu Xiao remaining, the rest dispersed.
"What exactly is going on? Why is it being so secretive?" Lu Xiao asked Bai Qiu once again. There was a deep meaning contained in her expression. He had a faint feeling that what Bai Qiu said was definitely not ordinary.
"What do you think of your relationship with the princess?" Bai Qiu did not directly answer Lu Xiao's question. Instead, she asked a seemingly unrelated question.
"Nope." Lu Xiao said calmly, "She's extremely wary of me. She's very wary of me."
"The Crown Prince is right." Bai Qiu nodded lightly and asked again, "If a conflict broke out in the Land of Buried Dao, what do you think are the chances of victory for the King Lu Palace?"
White Autumn's words immediately caused a sharp glint to flash across Lu Xiao's eyes. At this moment, he was somewhat doubtful as to whether she was standing on the side of the Mu palace or his side.
"What are you trying to say?" Lu Xiao asked with a solemn expression.
"I think the crown prince is very clear that although the two palaces belong to the Nine Heaven Immortal Countries, they are competitors to each other. If there is a conflict of interest, the relationship between the allies will break down at any time, and I can be sure that there will be a real battle between the Mu palace and the Lu palace, which is different from the one at the Large Competition."
Bai Qiu's voice was extremely calm, but his words were as sharp as knives, striking at the heart.
"Go on." Lu Xiao stared intently at Autumn Snow.
"There is only one way to prevent this situation from happening." Bai Qiu came to a halt before she lifted her head to look at Lu Xiao. Her eyes suddenly turned extremely sharp.
"Have Princess Mu disappear from this world!"
An extremely cold voice resounded in the space. The moment the voice was heard, Lu Xiao could not help but shudder violently despite his calm personality.
His eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at the white-clothed figure in front of him. This person was one of Mu Jinyu's trusted aides. He actually wanted to kill her!
Lu Xiao did not know what had happened between Bai Qiu and Mu Jinyu, so she naturally did not understand Bai Qiu's motive for doing so.
After the previous conversation, Bai Qiu had seen through everything. From the beginning to the end, Mu Jinyu never thought of him, regardless of whether Qin Xuan disappeared or not, it was impossible for her to be with him.
In her heart, there had never been a place for him.
Since he was destined to fail to obtain it, he would destroy it!
"Do you know what that means?" Lu Xiao looked at Autumn Snow and said solemnly, "If I tell Mu Jinyu about this, you will definitely die."
"No, the Crown Prince will not betray me." A hint of a smile suddenly appeared on Bai Qiu's face, as if he was extremely confident.
"Why do you say that?" Lu Xiao's eyes flashed a look of surprise. This person trusted her judgment that much?
"Because … this is in the prince's interest." "Once Princess Mu is eliminated, the King Lu Palace will be the one to reap the most benefits. The Crown Prince is a smart man, I want to know what to do next."
Lu Xiao gave a deep glance at Bai Qiu. Not only was this person ruthless, his thoughts were also extremely meticulous. If such a character could be used well, it would be a sharp knife that could do many things for him.
"The experts around Mu Jinyu are as numerous as the clouds. If you want to kill her, that's as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Is there anything you can do?" Lu Xiao looked at Bai Qiu and asked. Clearly, she had tacitly agreed to work with Bai Qiu.
"Normally, it would be impossible, but now that she's not in the Four Symbols City, there's a chance for her to make a move." Autumn Snow said.
"Not in Four Divisions City?" A sharp glint flashed in Lu Xiao's eyes as she continued asking, "Then where is she?"
"Heaven and Earth City, with Qin Xuan."
In fact, he didn't know where Mu Jinyu had gone to. But he had found out the whereabouts of the people from the Sky and Earth City, and now that Qin Xuan and Mu Jinyu had also disappeared, it was highly likely that the two of them had gone to the Heaven and Earth City together!
"Just the two of them?" Lu Xiao's eyes revealed a faint ominous glint. If there were only these two people, they did indeed have a chance to eliminate Mu Jinyu.
"There are five more people. I don't know where Qin Xuan got the help from, but there's only one Great Emperor among them, and he isn't someone at Fan Ming's level. I think that for the King of Lu Palace, they shouldn't be able to cause any trouble." Bai Qiu said calmly.
"Indeed." Lu Xiao nodded slightly. As long as they were not top Great Emperor experts, they would not cause any problems.
