They went on a leisurely tour of the mountains and rivers.

Five days later, Zhao Mu and his entourage finally arrived at Jinhua City.

Before they even entered the city, Shi Man, who had received the news, immediately led the civil and military officials to the south gate to welcome them.

There were more than a thousand people in the welcoming party. Almost all the important figures in the Zhou Nation had rushed over. It could be said that they had given enough face.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Chen's heart was filled with emotions.

The Zhou Dynasty that he once looked up to was now about to become a vassal of the Zhao Country. What a dream.

But after a moment, Zhao Chen calmed down.

These few days, he had talked a lot with Zhao Mu. From Zhao Mu's experience, he truly realized how powerful a cultivator was.

Being a king in a secular dynasty might seem like power and prestige, but at most it would only last for a hundred years. When he was old and dying, all the glory and wealth would be gone.

Only immortality was the Great Dao.

If he didn't have the talent for cultivation, Zhao Chen might not have thought so much.

But in the Zhao Family, other than Zhao Mu, he was the only cultivator. Even if he was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage and obtained it through some unorthodox means, it at least proved that he had the foundation to seek immortality.

Zhao Chen already had a plan in mind.

In these few years, he still needed to preside over the situation. But when the world was peaceful, he would gradually hand over power to his two sons, Zhao Yu and Zhao Ji. He would live behind the scenes, cultivate immortality, and achieve immortality. No matter how far he could go, at least he would not regret it in the future.

Moreover, he had a capable son who would often send him cultivation resources. With such an advantage, how could he not grasp it?

"Zhou Country's Empress Shi Man greets King Zhao."

Shi Man walked at the front of the civil and military officials, bowing to welcome Zhao Chen.

"I've long heard that Zhou Country has a talented and beautiful Empress. Seeing you today, it's indeed true." Zhao Chen said.

Shi Man smiled and glanced at Zhao Mu. She said, "King Zhao is too kind. Compared to Young Master Zhao, I'm at most a firefly in the forest. How could I dare to compete with the sun in the sky? Thanks to Young Master Zhao's appreciation, I have the right to stand here."

When Zhao Chen heard this, he felt that something was wrong.

The way the Empress of Zhou Country looked at Zhao Mu was clearly a little ambiguous.

Although Zhao Chen had only been the Emperor for two days, as the former Duke of Beichen, he could be considered a shrewd man. How could he not see through the trick?

This stinky brat was really playing around.

Zhao Mu was speechless.

Fortunately, Zhao Qingxi was very innocent and did not understand these tricks.

Shi Man, this little b * tch, was quite bold. She was doing this on purpose, right? She would be in for a treat tonight.

After entering the city, there were many things to do. The officials from both sides had to start negotiating the handover. The Zhou Nation's royal family had to hand over power. There were many things to do. All the details had to be considered.

After a day, the father and son of the Zhao Family were exhausted.

However, Zhao Mu had already slipped away with Zhao Qingxi to accompany her to shop and eat delicious food.

According to the plan, Zhao Mu was going to return to the Saint Prime Devil Sect the next day. Zhao Qingxi was also aware of this, so she especially cherished the last moments of her life. She really didn't want to be separated from him for even a second.

This sweet love made Zhao Mu fall deeply into it. He almost couldn't help but want to stay and enjoy it for a year and a half.

However, when he thought of the heavy burden on his shoulders, Zhao Mu steeled his heart.

He had to go back tomorrow.

In the first half of the night, Zhao Mu was gentle like the wind, leaving Zhao Qingxi with a deep and unforgettable memory.

In the second half of the night, Zhao Mu dealt a heavy blow, leaving Shi Man with a deep lesson.

The next morning, Zhao Mu prepared to return to the Devil Sect before Zhao Qingxi woke up.

This time, Zhao Mu was the only one going back.

Ghost Toad, Pig Flea, and Bear Blind were left by Zhao Chen's side for the time being.

The secular dynasty was too fragile. With the three Nascent Soul demons secretly guarding it, Zhao Mu would be much more at ease.

Moreover, Ghost Toad and the other two's loyalty had already reached 100 points. It could be said that they were completely loyal. There was no possibility of them betraying Zhao Mu. If the country of Zhao was in danger, the three of them would fight with their lives on the line.

Before leaving, Zhao Mu suddenly thought of Zhao Qiuyun.

He had promised to help Zhao Qiuyun find her descendants. However, eight thousand years had passed. It was definitely not a task that could be completed overnight.

After thinking about it, Zhao Mu decided to entrust this matter to his second brother, Zhao Ji. He was familiar with historical records and had a good understanding of the history of the country of Zhao. He should be able to help Zhao Qiuyun.

After handing over the final matters, Zhao Mu flew up on his sword and flew into the clouds.

He looked back at Jinhua City under the morning sun and muttered to himself, "After this farewell, I don't know when we'll meet again."

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Mu calmed his emotions. His sword light was like a shooting star, cutting through the sky and quickly disappearing into the horizon.

Flying at full speed on his sword, he could reach the Thousand Demon Forest in a day. In another half a day, he could reach the Saint Prime Devil Sect.

It wasn't a long journey at all.

Zhao Mu's heart was slightly relieved.

If he had time in the future, it would be quite easy for him to return home. It should not be a problem for him to return home once or twice a year.

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

In front of Zhao Mu was an endless dark green ocean.

Countless towering trees gathered together, forming a sea of forest.

On the way here, Zhao Mu sat on the airship and cultivated. He did not see much of the scenery. Looking at it now, the Thousand Demon Forest felt quite dreamy.

As night fell, some of the glowing plants in the forest reflected a faint light, making the forest look very mysterious.

If one ignored the conflicts and killings between the human race and the demon race, Zhao Mu quite liked this forest.

"Then I'll set a small goal. Turn this forest into my territory!"

With the system in hand, Zhao Mu did not think that this was an extravagant hope.

Of course, the possibility of achieving it in the short term was not high.

However, one must always have dreams.

"Little brother, please wait."

Just as Zhao Mu was flying over a thousand-meter-tall tree, a voice suddenly called out to Zhao Mu.

Zhao Mu stopped curiously and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a one-eyed old man lying on a tree trunk. The old man was hugging a wine gourd in his arms. It looked like he had drunk a lot. The smell of alcohol on his body could be smelled from hundreds of meters away.

The old man's aura wasn't weak. He should be in the Nascent Soul realm. Zhao Mu didn't dare to be careless. He asked from afar, "Senior, what can I do for you?"

"Burp …"

The old man burped heavily. He stretched his body and sat up. He rubbed the wine gourd in his chest and asked, "Did you kill Wang Xian?"

Zhao Mu was shocked.

The Ghost Dao Sect's people had found them so quickly?

"So what if I am? Are you here to avenge him?" Zhao Mu did not deny it.

This old man was obviously waiting for him to appear here. Zhao Mu's whereabouts must have been exposed, so denying it was completely meaningless.

If the other party wasn't confident, he wouldn't have spent so much effort to wait here.

Moreover, Zhao Mu did not sense any killing intent from the old man. He seemed to have other motives for finding him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to greet Zhao Mu. Instead, he would have launched a sneak attack on Zhao Mu.
