"What good thing?"
Ai Jiangtu looked at Zhou Haoyu curiously. Could it be… that technique of controlling weapons?
As a mage whose main cultivation was the Space element, Ai Jiangtu was well aware that his attack methods were somewhat monotonous.
If he could kill enemies by controlling weapons the way Zhou Haoyu did, his strength would increase tremendously.
Zhou Haoyu patted Ai Jiangtu's shoulder. "That'll stay a secret for now. Just know it'll be useful to you."
The Curse Borrowed Body Technique was the Zu Clan's foundation. He couldn't let Ai Jiangtu know about it yet.
After all, the Zu Clan had ties with the Holy City. If it was exposed, it could very well draw their attention.
Besides, the Curse Borrowed Body Technique couldn't be used directly—it had to be paired with the corresponding armor magic equipment.
The forging craft for such equipment wasn't very complicated, but it required one critical material:
The Soul of a Demon!
As long as a demon's soul was sealed within, a mage using the Curse Borrowed Body Technique could obtain some of that demon's magic.
The stronger the demon used as the sacrificial vessel, the greater the enhancement would be.
The most direct example was Zu Xiangtian. In order to cultivate him, the Zu Clan had spent tremendous manpower and time to kill a Kunlun Sub-Ancestor Tiger.
If Zhou Haoyu borrowed the power of armor robes, he could even slay several Monarch-level creatures to forge such equipment.
However—
Forging magic equipment also required quite a lot of time, so Zhou Haoyu wasn't planning on it for the moment.
Since he didn't even have the Curse element, why waste energy hunting Monarchs and forging equipment?
Just then, Jiang Shaoxu suddenly clung onto Zhou Haoyu's arm, wearing a face of attachment and reluctance.
"Captain, without you, how am I supposed to live?"
Hearing this, Zhou Haoyu's mouth twitched.
"Don't make trouble. The flight home is about to take off. Once everything's handled, we'll return."
With that, Zhou Haoyu took Mu Ningxue and gradually disappeared from the group's sight.
Magic City.
After getting off the plane, Zhou Haoyu and Mu Ningxue first went to the apartment.
In the living room, Ai Tutu was lying alone on the sofa watching TV.
Suddenly, hearing the sound of the door opening, Ai Tutu immediately turned her head toward the entrance.
"Zhou Haoyu?"
Ai Tutu stared in disbelief at the young man at the door, along with the silver-haired unfamiliar girl beside him.
At this time, shouldn't Zhou Haoyu be leading the National Institute Team on trials around the world?
Zhou Haoyu likewise hadn't expected Ai Tutu to be at the apartment.
"Why did you suddenly return home, and even bring a woman?"
"Came back to deal with something. Just pretend we're not here."
"Hmph! Forget not bringing Sister Mu back, but to hook up with another woman—unbelievable!"
Ai Tutu put her hands on her waist, pouting angrily, as if standing up for herself and Mu Nujiao.
Zhou Haoyu's face darkened immediately. This silly girl was definitely overthinking again.
Fortunately, Mu Ningxue had no interest in such matters.
Zhou Haoyu had long lost hope in Ai Tutu's treasure chest. Without another word, he pulled Mu Ningxue upstairs.
"Zhou Haoyu, you bastard!"
Seeing herself being outright ignored, Ai Tutu stomped her feet in anger.
Once inside the room, Mu Ningxue finally looked at Zhou Haoyu and asked, "This apartment, you share it?"
Zhou Haoyu nodded.
"I need to come to Magic City once a month. Always staying in hotels is inconvenient, so I rented an apartment."
Zhou Haoyu wasn't lying. Before co-renting, he really had thought about having a fixed place.
The main reason for co-renting was that he didn't want Mo Fan to take advantage.
If Mo Fan got there first, Zhou Haoyu would have to give up both Mu Nujiao's and Ai Tutu's treasure chests.
"It was them who insisted on sharing. I only agreed because I had no choice," Zhou Haoyu said with a straight face.
He wasn't exactly wrong—it had indeed been Ai Tutu who suggested co-renting.
Hearing this, Mu Ningxue rolled her eyes.
She didn't believe for a second that Zhou Haoyu had no other thoughts.
Zhou Haoyu didn't bother explaining further. Instead, he pushed Mu Ningxue down onto the bed.
In the living room, Ai Tutu heard those strange noises upstairs, and her face instantly flushed red.
"Bastard, actually doing that kind of thing in the apartment, as if I don't exist!"
After resting in the apartment for one night, the two set off early the next morning for Tianshan.
At the base of Tianshan there was a small town, where all mages planning to explore the mountain would rest.
The people on the town's streets were basically all mages—ordinary folk would never come to such a dangerous place.
The two didn't stay long in the town. Since it was still early, Zhou Haoyu decided to enter Tianshan directly.
To quickly locate where Qin Yu'er was sealed, Zhou Haoyu decisively donned his Armor Robe.
In an instant, his aura skyrocketed to its peak.
Majestic and awe-inspiring, radiating an overwhelming pressure!
Mu Ningxue looked at the armored man before her in shock and fear, finding him both familiar and unfamiliar at once.
Zhou Haoyu's control over the Armor Robe was already extremely proficient. All malicious thoughts were stored in the Dark Law Fragment.
Therefore, he had no need to worry about being consumed by the evil will.
"What's wrong, don't recognize your husband anymore?"
Zhou Haoyu's lips curved into a teasing smile.
Hearing that familiar tone, the trace of fear in Mu Ningxue's heart instantly disappeared.
"What exactly is going on?" Mu Ningxue asked blankly.
"Do you know of the Ancient King?"
Mu Ningxue nodded. She had studied the Calamity of the Ancient Capital, which included the Undead Emperor—the Ancient King.
"I inherited the Ancient King's legacy. Strictly speaking, I am the new Ancient King."
Zhou Haoyu did not conceal anything, speaking frankly.
With the power of the Armor Robe, he no longer needed to act cautiously as before.
And Mu Ningxue was someone he trusted completely.
Mu Ningxue stared blankly at Zhou Haoyu. The weight of the information was enormous, and for a while, she couldn't digest it.
If Zhou Haoyu was the Ancient King, didn't that mean he now possessed power comparable to an Emperor?
"Then… are you an undead now?"
Mu Ningxue suddenly asked a rather foolish question.
"Am I undead? Don't you already know the answer?" Zhou Haoyu countered.
Mu Ningxue instantly realized—if Zhou Haoyu really was undead, how could there be so many warm currents flowing into her body each time?
The moment she thought of those unspeakable scenes, Mu Ningxue's face flushed crimson.
Seeing the breathtaking Mu Ningxue, Zhou Haoyu couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Ahem, hold onto me tightly. I'll take you into Tianshan." Zhou Haoyu said.
"Mm."
Mu Ningxue didn't hesitate at all and immediately wrapped her arms around Zhou Haoyu's waist.
Zhou Haoyu placed his hand gently on Mu Ningxue's back, then performed a single Blink, disappearing from the inn room.
In his Armor Robe state, Zhou Haoyu's spiritual force was greatly enhanced. A single Dimensional Move instantly transported them over ten thousand meters.
With his spiritual sense extending outward, Zhou Haoyu soon detected a powerful beast.
A Supreme Monarch-level creature!
Though Tianshan was perilous in countless ways, there were only a handful of Supreme Monarch-level within it.
