Chapter 306 Capture The Queen's Palace
Even now, not a single cultivator suspected the Empress of Profound Secrets.
The prestige of a celestial being was simply too high in the cultivation world, not to mention Empress Arcanum, who had ruled the Formless State for five thousand years. She had always been known for her benevolence and wisdom. Even if they saw Empress Arcanum kill someone with her own hands, other cultivators would probably think it was the victim's fault.

Zhao Mu felt deeply helpless.
It seemed he could only rely on himself to break out of this situation.
But even with the protection of the Sun-Moon Shadow Robe and the Mother-Child Veil, he was still imprisoned by the empress. This made Zhao Mu very uneasy.
If he guessed correctly, the empress might also have an immortal artifact of high quality. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to suppress his immortal robe.
Just as Zhao Mu was racking his brains to think of a way to break out of this imprisonment, a gust of wind suddenly swept through the palace. Accompanying the wind was a vast expanse of white mist.
The white mist surged, quickly submerging the entire palace.
The cultivators present panicked again, thinking it was a powerful yao invasion.
Just then, the Empress's dignified voice spread throughout the palace.
"The Yao King is invading. Fellow Daoists, please do not act on your own. Everyone stay where you are. I will personally meet this Yao King!"
These words gave the cultivators a lot of confidence.
"Listen to the Empress, don't move!"
"No matter what happens around you, you must remain calm and control yourself!"
"With the Empress here, we'll be fine."
Although the cultivators' voices were already trembling, they still believed the Empress's words without a doubt.
Only Zhao Mu saw with his own eyes that after the empress finished speaking, she didn't move at all.
She was still sitting on the dragon throne, leisurely drinking wine.
She was clearly the one who created that white mist!
What a venomous Empress. Not only did she conspire against the law, she even wanted to pin the crime on a Demon King that didn't exist. In this way, no matter what happened afterward, even if the hundred thousand cultivators in the palace died, the world would only vent their resentment on the Demon Race.
As for the Empress, all she had to do was make up an excuse that she couldn't defeat the Yao King, then announce that she was in seclusion to heal. The outside world wouldn't suspect her at all. They'd even be sincerely grateful to her.
Suddenly, Lady Providence glanced sideways at Zhao Mu.
"Since you know about the Great Immortal Subduing Formation, you must have the help of an Immortal. As long as you behave, I can spare your life. If you perform well, we might even have a chance to work together."
"The skies of the Immortal Martial Continent are about to change. An unprecedented war might erupt at any moment. In front of the struggle for the Great Dao, you and I are nothing more than ants. If we want to live, the only path we can take is to band together. You are an intelligent person, it shouldn't be hard for you to understand this logic."
"How is it?
If you are willing to submit to me, just nod your head and I will sign a Blood Fiend Contract with you. "
Zhao Mu was slightly surprised by the sudden recruitment.
Zhao Mu glared at the Empress of Providence.
Submit?
Don't even think about it!
"Oh?
It seems like you've made your choice. Since that's the case, don't regret it. "
"It just so happens that your spiritual energy is abundant. It's a good material for cultivating the immortal soul. I'll start with you first."
She rose to her feet and walked towards Zhao Mu, one step at a time.
Her beautiful and noble face fell into Zhao Mu's eyes. All he felt was coldness and dread.
She was going to get serious!
Zhao Mu desperately tried to summon the spiritual energy in his body. However, his strength was as heavy as a rock. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't summon the slightest bit of energy.
He could only pin his hopes on the two immortal weapons. If they could block her attack, then perhaps there was still hope for survival.
"I know what you're thinking. The news of you possessing multiple immortal weapons has long since spread from the Forest of a Thousand Demons. However, do you really think that with your strength, you can unleash the true power of those weapons?"
Lady Providence's face was as cold as ice. She stretched out her slender hand and pointed at the air. It was as if she had grasped Zhao Mu's lifeline.
In an instant, Zhao Mu felt the world spin. All the meridians in his body seemed to be blocked. He was in a state of suffocation. Blue veins popped out on his forehead.
"Sometimes, it's not necessarily a good thing to know too much."
The Empress of Profound Secrets said meaningfully.
"Pfft!"
As if a nuclear bomb had exploded in his chest, Zhao Mu's tense aura instantly went out of control. He opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
But just when Zhao Mu thought he was doomed, the pressure on his body suddenly disappeared.
When he opened his eyes again, Zhao Mu found that she was really looking at him with a strange gaze.
"I was wrong. You're actually a descendant of the human emperor. Although the strength of your bloodline is average, it's better in terms of purity. Perhaps …"
She seemed to have an idea. With a wave of her sleeve, Zhao Mu fainted.
"Master, why did you leave this person alive?"
The demon slowly walked out of the white mist.
His body was covered in blood, and hot blood dripped from the corners of his mouth. His red eyes were filled with satisfaction and excitement.

Seeing him like a reincarnated hungry ghost, she couldn't help but frown.
"It's not your place to worry about your master's affairs. The plan hasn't succeeded. Go back to where you should be."
"Hehe, don't worry, Master. Those Tribulation Transcendence cultivators won't be able to make any waves. After an hour, my Bone-Gnawing Heart-Drilling Poison will completely erode them. No one here will survive."
After the demon child finished speaking, he slowly retreated into the white mist with his hunched body.
After an unknown amount of time.
When Zhao Mu woke up, he was surprised to find that he wasn't dead.
Could it be that the immortal artifact protected him, allowing him to escape by the skin of his teeth?
But his meridians were still blocked, and he couldn't summon any spiritual power.
What was this place?
Zhao Mu looked around and saw that he was lying in an extremely luxurious bedroom. It was as luxurious as an emperor's bedchamber …
Hm?
Was this the Profound Secrets Empress' bedchamber?
Zhao Mu tried to get up and was surprised to find that the shackles on his body had disappeared. Although he was still weak, at least he had regained some mobility.
He hurriedly got up and ran out the door.
But the door was firmly locked, and there were sealing formations on both the inside and outside.
Although Zhao Mu was a formation master, he couldn't use his spiritual power to break the seal. All he could do was stare.
The window was open, but it was also sealed by a formation and could not be read.
He could only see a corner of the outside through the window.
It seemed to still be in the palace, and it was at the highest point in the center of the palace.
If he wasn't mistaken, this was definitely Empress Arcanum's palace.
Below them, white mist surged. Within the mist, there were a few snake-shaped phantoms slithering about. From time to time, the screams of cultivators could be heard from the white mist.
Zhao Mu vaguely noticed that the white fog was gradually dyed with a layer of light red. It was likely that many cultivators had already been killed.
"Empress Providence seemed to have mentioned immortal souls. Could it be that she wants to use the souls of these hundred thousand cultivators to aid her cultivation?
Isn't this a demonic technique? Could it be that the one behind Empress Providence isn't an immortal, but a heavenly demon? "
Zhao Mu frowned.
"Young master, I've finally found you!"
Hearing Jin Fei's voice, Zhao Mu's face lit up. Fortunately, she didn't encounter any accidents.
"What's the situation now?" Zhao Mu asked anxiously.
