The next day.

After Zhao Mu confirmed that Shi Rui was completely fine, he returned to Zhao Country alone.

After he helped his father conquer Zhou Country, he would be done with the secular world.

Zhao Mu felt that he couldn't grasp the allure of the colorful world.

With his qualifications, if he was in the mortal world, he could enjoy himself to his heart's content, and he could practically get whatever he wanted. No matter how great the power, how beautiful the women, or how precious the treasures were, all of it would be at his fingertips.

However, such a life would constantly wear down Zhao Mu's willpower and destroy his body and mind. It wouldn't last long.

It wasn't that Zhao Mu was against such a life. In fact, it had always been Zhao Mu's wish to be able to enjoy wealth.

However, the prerequisite was that he had sufficient strength.

Wang Xian almost caused Zhao Mu to fail miserably. There were countless cultivators at Wang Xian's level in the Immortal Martial Continent.

The Ghost Dao Sect behind him was also mysterious and full of danger.

Zhao Mu cultivated in the Saint Prime Devil Sect and didn't have to worry about the disturbances of the outside world. However, if he stayed in the secular world, he might be killed by a passing expert.

Before he could control his life and death, what he needed to do was to raise his strength as much as possible.

Wouldn't it be more comfortable to enjoy life after he became invincible?

By then, the beauties and wealth of the secular world wouldn't be able to catch his eye.

Everything in the Immortal Martial Continent was for him to choose.

This was the ultimate enjoyment that Zhao Mu needed.

While he was flying on his sword, Shi Rui suddenly chased after him from behind.

"You have just recovered from a serious illness. Why aren't you resting?" Zhao Mu asked.

Shi Rui shook her head. "Since the secular world is over, I don't want to stay any longer. Two days with my family is enough. I should return to the Devil Sect to continue my cultivation. After the battle with Wang Xian, I know how weak I am. If I don't work harder, how can I protect my family in the future?"

Zhao Mu nodded approvingly. This lady was a sensible person and had the same thoughts as him.

"I have to go to Zhao Country to arrange some things. I need to delay for two days. Do you want to come with me or leave first?"

"It's not a pleasant thing to watch one's own country being swallowed up. I'll return to the Devil Sect first. Junior Brother Zhao, let's part ways here. When you return to the sect, I'll definitely pay you a visit to express my gratitude."

After saying that, Shi Rui flew up into the clouds on the skyboat and disappeared.

She was a swift and decisive girl.

Although it was difficult for him to open his heart to her, it was actually not bad to be friends with her.

Zhao Mu didn't stay any longer. He sped up on his sword and headed straight for Wuxuan City.

When they arrived at Wuxuan City, it was already evening. Zhao Mu flew into the palace, and her family members immediately came to welcome her, including Zhao Qingxi.

Zhao Chen looked at Zhao Mu anxiously and hurriedly asked about the results of the trip.

Zhao Mu didn't hide anything and loudly announced the good news that the Zhou Empire was willing to submit to the Zhao Empire. This made Zhao Chen and the others feel as if they were in a dream.

"Father, you'll have to work hard tonight. Gather a group of officials and generals as soon as possible. I'll escort you to Jinhua City tomorrow morning to complete the handover of power. In the future, you'll have to treat the Zhou Empire as your own territory. This involves many issues. It's best to discuss with the officials and come up with an effective and concrete plan."

Zhao Chen nodded his head. "I'll order people to gather all the civil and military officials and make arrangements overnight."

Zhao Mu looked at Zhao Yu and Zhao Ji and said, "Big Brother, Second Brother, Father definitely can't stay in Jinhua City for long. In the future, you'll have to share the burden of Father's affairs. I'm thinking of letting the two of you stay in Jinhua City for a long time. What do you think?"

"I'll listen to Third Brother's arrangement."

By the time everything was arranged, it was already late at night.

Zhao Mu was about to find a place to refine the Emperor Yan Blood Marrow Fruit when Zhao Qingxi suddenly came to him.

"Cousin, can I go to Jinhua City with you tomorrow?"

"What are you going to do?" Zhao Mu asked.

Zhao Qingxi said, "I … I stay in the palace all year round and have never left Wuxuan City. I want to go out and broaden my horizons so that I won't be an ignorant little girl when I marry you in the future."

Zhao Mu pinched her little face and said, "But I like your silly look."

"Who's silly …"

Zhao Qingxi pouted and took the initiative to lean on Zhao Mu's shoulder. She said, "Cousin, I know my aptitude is not good and is not suitable for cultivation. I don't want to drag you down. I just want to stay in the secular world and protect this family business for you. But I can't show my potential here. Jinhua City is different. The stage there is bigger and more suitable for me to show my potential."

Zhao Mu was slightly surprised when he heard Zhao Qingxi's words.

He didn't expect this little girl to have such thoughts.

"You really don't want to follow me to the sect to cultivate?" Zhao Mu asked.

"I want to, but I know what's more suitable for me now. I'm still young. Even as a mortal, I still have decades to work hard and make a career. Anyway, my aptitude is not good. It doesn't make much difference if I cultivate a few years earlier or later. Why not take advantage of the time to do more things that are suitable for me?"

Ah, this.

Zhao Qingxi's words made Zhao Mu look at her in a new light.

He didn't expect her to be able to see things so clearly at such a young age.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Mu said, "If you want to do it, then I'll support you. But you can't neglect your cultivation. I'll provide you with some cultivation resources regularly to help you improve your aptitude. If you can become a cultivator with your own efforts, then follow me to the sect to cultivate. How about it?"

"I'll listen to Cousin."

Zhao Qingxi leaned on Zhao Mu's chest, as obedient and docile as a little kitten.

Zhao Mu patted her little head and said, "It's getting late. Why don't you stay here?"

"En … but cousin, you're not allowed to bully me."

Zhao Mu chuckled. "Of course not. I can't wait to dote on you. Why would I bully you?"

The next morning.

Zhao Mu opened her eyes and looked at Zhao Qingxi, who was in her arms, with tear stains on her face. She could not help but blame herself.

Zhao Mu, Zhao Mu, you're really a jerk!

Zhao Qingxi also woke up at this time. She stared at Zhao Mu with a sad face. She was so angry that she lay on his shoulder and bit him hard.

Although Zhao Mu did not feel any pain at all, in order to coax Zhao Qingxi, she still pretended to be in pain and begged for mercy.

"Cousin … bad!"

At sunrise, the father and son of the Zhao family, as well as a large number of civil and military officials, had already gathered outside the North City Gate.

Zhao Mu carried Zhao Qingxi on his back and flew over on his sword. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he began to escort the group north to Jinhua City.

The journey of a carriage was not as fast as flying on a sword. Even if everyone was riding a Ferghana horse, it would still take at least three to four days to arrive at a distance of two thousand miles. And this was under the premise that they were traveling at full speed without any delay along the way.

However, Zhao Mu was not in a hurry. She treated it as accompanying her family on a long trip.
