I will return you 10,000 times my money. I am the strongest furnace in the Demon Sect.

Shi Rui's words were not flattery, but came from the heart.

In the past two days, apart from chatting with Zhao Qiuyun, she spent the rest of the time practicing, but in just two days, the effect of her practice can only be said to be negligible.

She is at the third level of the Nascent Soul Realm. Even if she is extremely talented, it will take at least two or three years for her to break through another level with her current cultivation. If she encounters a bottleneck, it is normal that she cannot break through a small realm in ten years.

But Zhao Mu, even if he is at the Core Formation Realm, it is really a bit against the sky to break through a small realm in two days.

Moreover, Shi Rui knows a lot about Zhao Mu. She knows that he was a Qi training disciple in the errand yard not long ago. In such a short period of time, he has both built a foundation and formed a core. He must rely on this extraordinary speed of practice.

She has seen many geniuses, and she was once praised as a cultivation genius, but she only realized how outrageous the gap between people is when she saw Zhao Mu.

"Senior sister, you are too kind. I just got some opportunities. Unlike you, you are already a Nascent Soul expert at a young age. In the future, the human race may have another female supreme." Zhao Mu said with a smile.

Shi Rui was teased and laughed: "Junior brother, you are so sweet. You have used this trick to coax girls. Although I know you are flattering me, I am still happy to hear your words."

She really didn't lie.

Zhao Mu looked at Shi Rui's favorability and found that it had reached 60, which was enough to bind the return object.

However, Zhao Mu was not in a hurry to bind. He didn't know Shi Rui very well. If she had someone in her heart, wouldn't it be very embarrassing after binding.

Still have to get familiar with each other before making plans.

At this stage, just get along with each other normally.

After walking out of the air boat, Zhao Mu looked down at the land and saw a grand ancient city located on a plain. It was the capital of Zhao State [Wuxuan City].

Although Zhao was not a strong country, it had a history of 20,000 years. Wuxuan City had a long history, even earlier than Zhao.

Although Wuxuan City had been repaired and rebuilt many times, it had always maintained its original appearance, so that now it looked like the whole ancient city was full of rich historical heritage.

Zhao had also experienced many wars in history. It was once attacked by the enemy army in the capital and at the foot of the imperial city, but it was always able to get out of the crisis.

Of course, this is not something worth talking about.

Because the reason is actually quite simple.

That is, Zhao was too poor.

It was not that they could not afford to eat and there were refugees everywhere, but that there were almost no cultivation resources in Zhao.

There were no spiritual stone veins, no ancient secret ruins, and no land with spiritual energy to plant spiritual medicines.

Even the vast plain where Zhao was located had a far lower concentration of spiritual energy than the surrounding countries because of the perfect staggered underground spiritual veins.

Therefore, Zhao State was not worth being occupied, and even after a war, it was impossible to get much money from Zhao State.

Over time, Zhao State became a tasteless chicken rib, unable to attract the interest of the powerful dynasties around it, but made the weak Zhao State extremely long-lived.

However, the situation seems to be different today.

This time, the Great Zhou Dynasty attacked Zhao State, not for money and resources, but for boys and girls.

And it happened that Zhao State became a hot commodity in the eyes of the Great Zhou Dynasty because of its long-term peace and abundant population.

Although the war had not yet spread to Wuxuan City, Zhao Mu had seen many traces of enemy troops on the way here, some small cities had fallen, and many refugees could be seen outside the capital of Zhao State.

"Fortunately, I came in time." Zhao Mu was relieved to see that Wuxuan City was at least stable at present.

It seems that his fiancée, the little princess, should still be safe.

As for his family... To be honest, Zhao Mu doesn't care. After all, as a time traveler, he certainly won't have any sense of belonging to his current home.

Of course, Zhao Mu will definitely help as much as he can.

"Boss, we just found a team of cavalrymen heading towards the capital. Although there are not many of them, they are all foundation-building cultivators. The mortal army may not be able to resist their footsteps. Do you need us to intercept them?"

The ghost clam suddenly flew over and reported.

A cavalry team composed entirely of foundation-building cultivators?

Zhao Mu was slightly surprised. Foundation-building cultivators were no threat to him, but for a mortal country, they were almost indestructible divine soldiers. With the military strength of Zhao, there was no way to stop them.

The royal family of Zhao did support several cultivators, but they were only foundation-building cultivators. Only the national teacher had reached the Jindan realm. But they were outsiders after all. When it came to a critical moment, they might not dare to show up in person to fight against the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Zhao Mu asked Shi Rui who was standing beside him, "Sister Shi, does your Great Zhou Dynasty have such a cavalry composed of foundation-building cultivators?"

Shi Rui was also surprised and explained, "Although the national strength of the Great Zhou is slightly stronger, it is not so extravagant as to use foundation-building cultivators as cavalry. However, I haven't been home for a long time, so I don't know the specific situation."

Zhao Mu nodded and instructed the three people of Gui He, "Go and keep an eye on them and see what the purpose of this cavalry is. Once they attack and hurt people, you will attack them, but don't kill them all. Leave a few alive for interrogation to see if you can find out some key information."

"Yes, sir." The three people of Gui He nodded repeatedly and flew away on their swords.

Zhao Mu said, "Let's go directly into the city and go to Beichen Palace."

Zhao Mu's father, Zhao Chen, is the current King Beichen of Zhao State. He is also a member of the royal family, but he is a branch and not a direct line. The throne is hereditary, so Zhao Mu is also a little prince.

Unfortunately, Zhao Mu did not enjoy the status of a free and easy little prince for long before he was captured by the demon cultivator of Shengyuan Demon Sect.

Speaking of which, the demon cultivator seemed to be called Wang Sheng, an outer disciple. Zhao Mu wanted to find him and teach him a lesson when he was free, but he has become famous in the Demon Sect recently, and that guy must know about his affairs. Maybe he has been scared and ran away.

The air boat soon appeared in the sky above Wuxuan City.

Such immortal magic weapons are rare in the secular world, and they immediately attracted the attention of many people. Zhao Mu looked down and saw a face full of fear and panic.

I'm afraid they thought they were envoys from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Beichen Palace

The palace was in chaos, and some servants even packed up their things and prepared to run away.

"Your Highness, we can't wait any longer. Prince Xuan next door has left the city with his family overnight. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave."

"Father, please take your brothers and sisters away quickly. I'm old, and the Zhou soldiers won't catch me. It's enough for me to stay and guard the house!"

The princess's persuasion and the eldest son's decision fell into Zhao Chen's ears. The Beichen King, who was also famous in the court, was full of worry and resentment at this time.

"Is God going to destroy my Zhao Kingdom?"

Suddenly, a servant rushed in from outside the door in a panic.

"Your Highness, it's not good. There are immortals coming on a flying boat and landing outside the palace. I'm afraid they are envoys sent by the Great Zhou!"
