At the main tomb of the ancestral temple of the Great Ancestor, there is a secret passage that leads to the outside world. This secret passage is only known by Long Feiyao.
If she wishes, she can leave at any time, but once she leaves the imperial mausoleum, she will no longer have the protection of the first emperor. Moreover, earlier on, she was not only poisoned by a worm but also had Ma Tiannan's subordinates watching her from all directions. For safety's sake, she did not choose to leave this safe place.
ChenMo's appearance undoubtedly broke the deadlock, with all the worms on his body eliminated. His body was weak, but with slight adjustment, he would definitely recover as before.
Long Feiwu led the way ahead, guiding Chen Mo forward, releasing a faint spiritual energy from his hand which transformed into a lighting beacon, illuminating the pitch-black corridor.
Shortly, the two arrived at a flight of steps.
"Go up, and you can leave the imperial mausoleum. This is a secret passageway known only to the imperial family of my empire. Now that you know it, I have indeed committed a great crime against heaven."
Long Feiwu let out a soft laugh and then turned to look at Chen Mo behind him.
"What does Master Ao Tian mean by this? Do you want to use the secret of this passage to repay the favor I do you in saving you, it's your self-rescue, and it has nothing to do with me. I have memorized all the favors, and there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world."
Chen Mo said confidently and boldly.
Long Feiwu's mouth twitched, and his weak left hand formed a fist, he wished he could give him a punch, "The favor you mentioned, is it the favor from 300 years ago? That is to say, let me dress as a woman and see you. Ha, Chen Mo, I must tell you that when I first saw you, I did indeed dress as a woman... but then you suddenly disappeared like a fraud."
"When did I ever deceive you?"
Chen Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Besides, one can't control when they die. Who knows when they will die."
"You know, you clearly know everything, otherwise you wouldn't have left me a letter before you died... You could have asked for help from me, as long as you asked me, I would definitely help you..."
Thinking of Chen Mo's sudden death 300 years ago, Long Feiwu's eyes suddenly turned red. She turned her head fiercely and didn't want him to see her expression at that moment.
"He's too strong, you can't be his match. Even if you came, what good would it do? You can't help me. I don't want anything to happen to you."
"You..."
After uttering a single word and suddenly choking, Long Feiwu's head drooped, she pondered for a moment and then turned her head to look at Chen Mo. She spoke in all seriousness, "Now that I'm strong enough, I'll keep getting stronger... If you ever face difficulties in the future, just come to me."
The sudden seriousness caught Chen Mo off guard. He stared blankly at Long Feiwu's serious expression and mumbled a single word between his teeth, "Oh."
Long Feiwu nodded in satisfaction and began to walk step by step towards the staircase. As she approached the exit, Chen Mo suddenly blocked her way. "Now, there are webs all over the entire Tianlong Empire, meaning there are probably spies of Ma Tiannan's everywhere. We may have come out of this secret passage, but there might still be their eyes and ears outside. Be careful."
"Don't worry, I may not have fully recovered yet, but dealing with some spies won't be a problem for me"
Long Feiwu nodded slightly, then pushed open the door of the secret passage, emerging from below, with Chen Mo following closely behind.
This was in a forest, emerging from the grassland. Suddenly, the ground shone with a blue light, revealing an array pattern, which then disappeared faintly, and the door of the channel also disappeared without a trace.
"It seems you were right"
Long Feiwu let out a cold laugh, and her gentle eyes suddenly turned cold. Her gaze fixed on a certain direction. Although they had left the imperial mausoleum, which was only a few miles away, the reach of the spider web was vast. Once it detected any abnormalities in the surroundings, it would act immediately.
Chen Mo's sense of alertness was no less than Long Feiwu's. At this moment, he had also noticed the movement in the distance and whispered, "You might want to refrain from fighting for now. The current Tianlong Empress should be trapped inside the imperial mausoleum, so there shouldn't be any signs of her outside."
His voice fell, and Chen Mo's figure turned into a bolt of lightning, suddenly shooting out. Before the few figures could reach that spot, he had already rushed to their backs and twisted their necks with both hands.
"You've become much stronger."
Long Feiwu stared in amazement at Chen Mo, "How have you been resurrected for so long?"
"If I've been resurrected for a long time, I would have come to find you a long time ago. Let's not talk about that. Let's go back quickly"
Time was pressing, so Chen Mo seized the moment, grabbing Long Feiwu's hand and running towards the courtyard. To be on the safe side, he also had her disguise herself and stay alert to any movements around them.
Fortunately, they didn't encounter any people from the spider web on their way.
Back to the courtyard, Ning Xin and Li Yueyue had already returned. The two women had followed Chen Mo's instructions and delayed the time of the spider web's high-level master slightly before returning without arousing suspicion.
Seeing Chen Mo return, the two women finally let out a sigh of relief; the fragile duo, who had been left to guard the courtyard due to their low combat power, now holding hands, came out curiously when they saw Chen Mo back.
"Chen brother, you said that your mission was to rescue the Tianlong Empress. Is this her?"
Sun Qian looked up and down at Long Feiwu, whose face was covered by a black robe, and asked.
"That's right, this is the Tianlong Empress."
Chen Mo nodded slightly, and in the next moment, Long Feiwu, who had been disguised, also took off the black robe and put it into her space ring, revealing a white dress and a handsome face.
Long Feiwu was the type that could be either salty or sweet. In female attire, she was a beauty whose appearance rivalled that of the heavens. In male attire, she was an ethereal lord whose looks were unequalled. In court, she liked to show herself in female attire. But once she left the palace, she preferred male attire, just as she did now.
"What a handsome young master."
Su Kekan blurted out, gazing at Long Feiwu with a touch of infatuation. Sun Qian pulled at Su Kekan's arm slightly in envy.
"Oh... But you're not as handsome as Qian brother"
Su Kekan sensed the sour taste in the air and quickly praised her own lover, letting Sun Qian gain enough face.
"Chen brother, you said this is the Tianlong Empress. That means, she... she is a woman?"
"That's right."
Chen Mo nodded slightly, looking up and down at Long Feiwu. Perhaps because of the overly male appearance, he really didn't notice before that she was a woman. He just felt that Master Ao Tian had clear and attractive eyebrows and eyes...
"Ao Tian brother, I've never seen you in female attire. When will you wear some for me?"
Chen Mo stroked his chin, grinning and staring at Long Feiwu, who changed color slightly before holding up his palm in front of Chen Mo's face.
Chen Mo backed away in alarm, suddenly remembering the slap he received from Ao Tian when he said, "What a big chest muscle Ao Tian brother has!" That made him nervous and he retreated another step. Then he turned to look at Su Kekan and instructed her, "Su Kekan, she has injuries on her body. You should go and treat them quickly."
