Chapter 194 Liu Qi has disappeared
The group sat listlessly on the ground. The current situation was indeed despairing; they were only mid-level mages, yet they were about to encounter a monarch-level creature.
Even Mr. Wu himself is in grave danger; their chances of survival are slim.
"We're most likely not going to make it. Do you think Su Ming can leave alive?" The group huddled together.
Jiang Shaoxu spoke first.
Mr. Wu didn't bother them. It was useless to do anything now. Their strength was simply insufficient to detect the monarch's movements. Even if they were on guard, it would be of no use. It was better to do something he wanted to do.
The only person here who could catch any trace of the other party was General Manager Wu.
He dared not relax for a moment; large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"Is Su Ming alright? I don't know what happened to him, but he should be able to get out alive without any problems. After all, that represents the strongest realm of humanity," Mu Qianjin said.
"The strongest domain? Not necessarily. Although I have never seen the strongest human, I do not think Su Ming is the strongest human. What do you think?" Mu Bai turned the topic to Jiang Shaoxu.
"It can't be considered the strongest. Although we've seen Su Ming cast a spell, we haven't seen him follow up. And the power of that spell isn't enough to be called the strongest."
"In a horizontal comparison, Tian Ge's vocal system and his expressiveness are actually quite similar, at least that's how it appears," Jiang Shaoxu said.
"Anyway, Jiang Shaotian has already disappeared. It's not that I'm hoping for Su Ming's demise, but this place is too eerie, so it's normal for him to get caught. However, I do hope that Su Ming can come out alive. That Jiuyou Empress threw us in here and then ignored us. If he survives, I'll definitely go and ask her about it," Mu Bai said somewhat angrily.
"Ninth Empress You?" Jiang Shaoxu was a little confused. Not many people knew this title. However, her military region was not far from the ancient capital, and she also had a cousin who was in charge of a military region near the ancient capital. He knew a lot about the affairs in the ancient capital.
These things are occasionally discussed at gatherings.
After the Nine Netherworlds, wasn't that one of the eight fallen rulers of the ancient capital?
"What happened? You said that Empress Jiuyou threw you in here?" Jiang Shaoxu asked hurriedly. How could a dead emperor like Empress Jiuyou have such a good temper?
Judging from Mu Bai's posture, he was about to confront her.
"That's right, it was Jiuyou Hou who threw me in. She is Jiuyou Hou, one of the eight dead rulers of the ancient capital. Mu Qianjin was also brought in by her," Mu Bai said.
Jiang Shaoxu frowned. This was too unbelievable. She had never encountered anything like it before. Could it be because of the characteristics of the Nine Netherworld Queen?
After the Nine Netherworlds, they belong to the category of ghosts, which, strictly speaking, are a type of undead. However, most ghosts retain memories from their human past and behave in ways similar to humans.
Perhaps that's the reason.
"Strictly speaking, I wasn't thrown in by the Nine Netherworlds; I found her myself and made the deal," Mu Qianjin said.
"Oh? Tell me more?" Jiang Shaoxu became slightly interested.
"My brother went to Tianshan, but it's been a long time and he hasn't come back. When I asked the president of the Magic Association, he only said that my brother went on a mission. The truth is that he might be trapped in Tianshan or—" Mu Qianjin paused for a moment before continuing.
"In short, I wanted to ask someone to go to Tianshan to look for it, and then I found Jiuyou. It would be best for her to go to Tianshan. She is strong and good at finding people. Our previous deal was that she would let me in to help find something, and Jiuyou would go to Tianshan to help find people."
"What are you looking for?"
"have no idea."
Jiang Shaoxu blinked: "Don't know? Really? Are you kidding me? You came in without knowing what it was?!"
"I really don't know what it is, and she didn't say." Mu Qianjin was also helpless; there was nothing she could do.
"Have you ever thought that Jiuyou might not go to Tianshan? Maybe she's just making fun of you. Although she told me she was coming in to find something, she didn't say what it was. It's possible that this is just her way of having fun," Mu Bai said from the side.
"No—that's highly unlikely. The Queen of the Nine Netherworlds shouldn't be that kind of person," Mu Qianjin said hesitantly.
"She seems to know Su Ming very well, so she shouldn't be lying to us."
"You mean that time?" Mu Bai suddenly realized, but after thinking carefully, he couldn't find anything to prove that the two had a good relationship.
"I think he only knows Su Ming, and their relationship isn't that good," Mu Bai said, squinting.
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Shaoxu was completely bewildered. Was Su Ming also related to that Eight Directions Dead King?
Wow, I know so many people.
"By the way, Jiang Shaoxu, you don't know yet, but when we went to Helan Mountain, we met Wu Ku and Jiu Youhou. However, there was another person involved. Jiu Youhou didn't participate, but we saw that she and Su Ming seemed to have a pretty good relationship," Mu Bai explained.
"This was also the opportunity that led us to get to know Jiuyou later."
"I see." Jiang Shaoxu didn't know what to say, but it was really rare to see the Queen of the Nine Netherworlds, an Eight Directions Dead King, speaking so peacefully with a mid-level mage.
"By the way, how is Liu Qi now? He was just slapped and now he's gone missing." Mu Qianjin asked with some concern. They were all companions, so naturally she didn't want to see anyone die.
"The chances of survival are slim. I didn't see what happened, but Liu Qi has disappeared, and Wu Ku said it was a monarch-level demon, so there's a high probability we're out of luck." Mu Bai shook his head.
"A mid-level mage and a monarch-level demon, it's like me fighting a one-year-old child fully armed."
A match with absolutely no suspense.
"Really? Why don't I feel that way?" Jiang Shaoxu thought, but didn't say it aloud.
They sat together in bright light, just like daytime, with no signs of danger, but one person had gone missing.
"It wouldn't be that dangerous outside, would it?"

"Is it dangerous now? We could have gotten hurt just now, or we could have now. We were just afraid of the unknown, but we haven't actually been hurt at all, and we still haven't."
The demon did not appear. With the power and speed of a monarch-level demon, it could have wiped them all out in an instant, but it did not. For some reason, this monarch-level demon seemed to have disappeared without a trace. If it weren't for Liu Qi's disappearance, they wouldn't even be able to imagine that there was a monarch-level demon lurking here.
"No breath, completely vanished," Wu Ku said slowly.
He could no longer sense any demonic aura; there was nothing left, and Liu Qi had also disappeared without a trace.
He expanded the area illuminated by the light, but still could not find any trace, whether it was the monarch's demon or Liu Qi's; they could not find anything.
