The plot Yu He had carefully engineered would have indeed been perfect, should things have gone slightly a different way. Both Chu Mu and Duan Xinhe would have been killed by someone else because of him.

However, Yu He had underestimated Chu Mu’s strength and Duan Xinhe’s cunning. It had ultimately led to his own death. It was no wonder that when he was dying, there was a triumphant grin on his face, akin to a conspirator having attained his grand goal. Presumably, he knew that Duan Xinhe would definitely kill Chu Mu, and the same Duan Xinhe, after killing Chu Mu, would soon be struck down by the experts of the Elemental Gate. Eventually, the two of them were doomed.

Chu Mu knew that by now, Duan Xinhe would hardly have any options left. Yu He’s layered plot would have saved his own life upon reflection. If he used half-demonization, he should be able to hold on until the experts from the Elemental Gate appeared.

Of course, Chu Mu noticed that Duan Xinhe did not harbor a killing intent yet. If he was able to resolve it through diplomacy, Chu Mu was still willing to negotiate with Duan Xinhe first. Thus, he wouldn’t need to sacrifice his fiery soul to solve this crisis.

“Heh, you lead me to the God’s Innards right now, you help me get the Dragon egg.” Duan Xinhe spoke to Chu Mu.

Duan Xinhe didn’t believe that just because the people from Elemental Gate appeared, this kid could escape from him. In fact, if this kid was of a very high status, Duan Xinhe would even use him as a hostage.

Chu Mu nodded, let Mo Ye follow by his side, then pointed to the secret room in front of him and said, “Since you already know where the Qingzhe Dragon is hidden, there’s no reason for you not to know that going down from here will lead you to the God’s Innards, right?”

At this moment, Duan Xinhe flashed a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, turned around, and stared at the passage from the secret room to the Old Site Hall intensely.

“Kid, I can see that you’re smart and you understand simple transactions. However, you should know that you and your woman killed so many of my grandchildren, it is my duty to avenge them. Therefore, regardless of whether you’ve helped me get the Qingzhe Dragon egg or not, my vengeance needs to be served. Of course, if you’ve helped me get the egg and helped me escape from this situation, I can consider leaving one of you two alive.” Duan Xinhe announced with a teasing tone.

In the short time it took for the flood to wash over Yu He’s team, the first Elemental Gate member who had been separated from the group had been killed by Dongqing and Ye Wansheng.

The power of this Elemental Gate member wasn’t very remarkable, so it didn’t take long for the two of them to kill him.

After Dongqing and Ye Wansheng disposed of this Elemental Gate member, they immediately headed to the Old Site Hall to aid Ye Qingzi who was on her own facing off two foes.

Ye Qingzi’s Soul Pet had the greatest combat power and she alone was enough to contend with Lu Ying, an expert from the Soul Covenant. The strength of the other Elemental Gate member wasn’t very prominent, Ye Qingzi initially even easily fought off both of them by taking advantage of the terrain, causing them to be exceptionally awkward.

With the later arrival of Ye Wansheng and Dongqing, their Soul Pets began to be slaughtered.

“You both take him down, I’ll check on Chu Chen.” Ye Qingzi was somewhat worried about Chu Mu, especially since Chu Mu was facing Yu He, who not only had the most strength but was also the most deceiving.

“Go ahead, be careful if something happens to your lover.” Ye Wansheng joked.

Ye Qingzi, not in the mood to explain anything to Ye Wansheng, immediately hopped onto her Battle Court Black Beast and ran towards the secret room where Chu Mu was situated.

The distance from the Old Site Hall to the secret room was quite long and the passage was narrow. Ye Qingzi rode her Battle Court Black Beast half-way into the passage when she started to sense that something was wrong.

“Court, hide!”

Ye Qingzi conveyed this to her Battle Court Black Beast using her Soul Sense.

The black fur of the Battle Court Black Beast seamlessly blended into the darkness and when the beast used its skills, it disappeared without a trace in the darkness, similar to the Gluttonous Insect monsters that became invisible.

As she moved further, Ye Qingzi increasingly found the situation odd as she faintly heard the voices of two men having a conversation.

“Kid, I, Duan Xinhe, have committed countless evil acts, but those who know me understand that I always keep my word. If you help me in this regard, I will only kill one of you…” A shadowy, weird voice floated into the passage.

Upon hearing these words, Ye Qingzi’s face turned pale instantly. She didn’t expect Duan Xinhe to appear here.

Currently, Ye Qingzi’s heart was rattled as well. Given Chu Mu’s aggressive actions towards Duan Xinhe’s Servant Beasts, there was no way Duan Xinhe would spare Chu Mu. At this point, Chu Mu was in a state of extreme danger.

For Chu Mu’s life was at stake, Ye Qingzi couldn’t keep her usual composure and even her usual calmness seemed to be slipping away.

“Tsk tsk, you better choose yourself. As for that pretty little girl, I still want to taste her… ” Duan Xinhe’s voice echoed once more.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzi’s mind was in chaos. She was worried for Chu Mu and also intimidated by the cruel and powerful Duan Xinhe.

“If you harbor such a mind again, I would rather die with you.” Chu Mu’s rage surged once more.

“Ha ha ha, so you would rather die yourself, it seems that the little lady must be quite important to you.” Duan Xinhe suddenly burst into laughter.

The voice gradually lowered, and Ye Qingzi couldn’t hear what they were saying from her location anymore.

Ye Qingzi, having taken control of the Battle Court Black Beast, stood at the entrance of a pitch-black tunnel. The path before her had two choices: move forward or retreat, but she had no idea how to decide, until she heard the last words spoken by Chu Mu.

Surely, this feeling was indescribable. As Chu Mu and Duan Xinhe gradually moved away, Ye Qingzi’s mood became heavier. Unknowingly, something already quite cold slid down her cheek…

Does Duan Xinhe keep his word?

Chu Mu had never believed in Duan Xinhe’s deceits.

As a matter of fact, Duan Xinhe was indeed an exceptionally dishonest person. Deep down, he was extremely dark and intentionally offered Chu Mu a choice to learn about his relationship with that woman.

Duan Xinhe had a terrifyingly sadistic nature, so regardless of whether Chu Mu could help him obtain the Zhe Dragon egg or escape, he would seize Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi. He wouldn’t kill Chu Mu in a hurry, because he wanted to purposely perform a cruel scene in front of Chu Mu with the woman dear to his heart, so he could torment that woman, and simultaneously wreak havoc on Chu Mu’s spirit.

Now that Duan Xinhe knew that Chu Mu cared about the woman, he was secretly planning how to execute his plan!

Duan Xinhe had his own perverse revenge plan in his heart, and likewise, Chu Mu had his own thoughts.

To Chu Mu, choosing between life and death resulted in the same outcome, but when Duan Xinhe began to harbor sinister intentions towards Ye Qingzi, Chu Mu could distinctly feel a burning rage surging in his heart…

The speed at which Duan Xinhe’s gluttonous insect monster excavated the ground was exceptionally fast. Soon, Chu Mu and Duan Xinhe continued to delve deeper into the world beneath the old site hall.

The world at the base of the old site hall was entirely made up of hard soil, almost as hard as stone. Initially, Duan Xinhe’s ninth-level gluttonous insect had a relatively easy time excavating. However, as time went on, the task became increasingly difficult.

Fortunately, it seemed that the Qingzhe Dragon didn’t like to dwell within hard rock either. After the Gluttonous Insect monster had opened up a section of the hard soil, it gradually discovered some white silk threads in the soil.

As the quantity of white silk increased, the excavation work of the Gluttonous Insect Monstar became more about digging through layers and layers of white silk.

“God’s Innards!!”

As the land was being excavated, the tip of the iceberg of the God’s Innards beneath the ground was finally revealed. Seeing the countless threads enveloping it, Duan Xinhe was visibly excited. He immediately summoned another Gluttonous Insect Monster, and together they quickly dug into the thick layer of white silk that enveloped the God’s Innards.

The old site hall had been abandoned and sealed under dusts for over a thousand years. Beneath it was a completely hollow space. The massive space was now completely occupied by the God’s Innards!!

Overcome with uncontrollable excitement, Duan Xinhe’s two ninth-stage Gluttonous Insect Monsters dug at an astonishing speed and soon opened a passage to the interior of the God’s Innards.

Upon entering the God’s Innards, despite the complete absence of light, Chu Mu, who was capable of night vision, was beholding a scene of astounding spectacle.

The God’s Innards wasn’t as exaggerated as the one in the Prison Island that could cover an entire forest.

This God’s Innards was only about two kilometers across, which was a grand sight that no soul pet could make. It was no wonder that scholars called the countless silks made by the dormant Zhe Dragon as “God’s Innards”!

Indeed, it was like a massive diagram of white internal organs. Deep within these internal organs, many white threads crisscrossed each other like blood vessels. Some threads were even thicker, forming a giant column of white silk, akin to skeletal supports within a body. The thinner silk threads formed the nerves within the ‘body’…

Chu Mu imagined that if such a space were infinitely magnified, would it turn into a unique world? Would there be countless creatures adapted to this environment living here, forming a unique ecological system…
