It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists
Chapter 551: Mu Zhian, Destroyer of Worlds

Mu Zhian, still engaged in a battle of wits with Mu Zhi, naturally didn’t know what was happening in the outside world.

If he knew that his Sister Lingxuan was about to explode, he would probably feel quite wronged.

After all, this time, it really wasn’t his fault. It was purely Ye Lingxuan’s own Forbidden Zone rules that cuckolded herself…

A forked lightning bolt flashed through the dark clouds, then exploded.

Mu Zhi looked up slightly and murmured to herself, “It’s about to rain.”

She casually tossed the forbidden object with the ‘event’ written on it. The next moment, the black paper burned and scattered with the wind.

Mu Zhi extended a small hand, gently caressing Mu Zhian’s face, and smiled, “We should change locations. The other Forbidden Lands should have realized you’re in my hands by now.”

“It would be troublesome if I accidentally lost you.”

Mu Zhian hesitated, “What are you planning to do?”

Mu Zhi’s figure, which had been in her mature form, began to shrink. Her long dress outlined her small and delicate frame, transforming her back into a regal, elegant, and lolita-like appearance.

“Do you remember what I said in my first letter?”

“If you fall into my hands, you’ll be my slave forever, remember?”

Mu Zhi raised her youthful yet beautiful face, her large, bright eyes curiously studying the young man before her, and said, “But I’m quite curious, why aren’t you panicking at all after falling into my hands? Could it be you have some sort of backup plan?”

Her voice was as crisp as a songbird’s, filled with childlike innocence, but her eyes were dark and bottomless.

Mu Zhian smiled, “If you wanted to kill me, then I would panic.”

The young girl blinked her large eyes and asked, “You think I don’t dare kill you?”

“Not that you don’t dare, but you won’t.” Mu Zhian paused, then asked with a hint of curiosity, “What did you write on that paper just now?”

“Just a precaution, in case you had any tricks up your sleeve. As long as you don’t try anything funny, the event I wrote down won’t happen.”

Mu Zhi’s eyes, like autumn water, gazed at him, and she said with a smile, “Why don’t you guess where I’m taking you?”

Mu Zhian paused, “Isn’t it to do something?”

Mu Zhi was stunned for a moment, then realized what Mu Zhian meant, and couldn’t help but give him a seductive look, “You’re overthinking it. It’s just that my throne has been feeling a bit hard lately, and I need a footstool… Big brother seems quite suitable.”

Mu Zhian: “Actually, I’m quite hard too.”

The girl’s beautiful eyes first held confusion, then a playful allure as she leaned against Mu Zhian, “That’s not for you to decide. I’ll have to personally confirm it later.”

As she spoke, she playfully waved her small, white hand before Mu Zhian’s face, the bells on her wrist jingling pleasantly.

Although she looked childish, her seductive aura was undeniable, a charming allure that seemed at odds with her youthful appearance, yet somehow perfectly fitting.

Mu Zhian didn’t resist at all. After all, he wanted to see what Mu Zhi was planning, so he said calmly, “The Forbidden Lands have existed in the Nine Provinces for so long, and the rules of heaven and earth must have been rewritten several times, yet no one has been able to transcend, and you even need my help for that?”

“Transcend?” Mu Zhi chuckled softly. “Do you really think the Forbidden Lands can’t transcend?”

“There’s a stalk of Immortal Medicine in every Forbidden Land. Although refining Immortal Medicine takes a long time, if we’re willing, both I and the other lords of the Forbidden Lands can transcend.”

So, the reason the ancient beings of the Forbidden Lands haven’t transcended is because of something else?

Mu Zhian’s thoughts stirred, about to ask, when Mu Zhi clicked her tongue and looked up with a smile, “Master of Reincarnation, I didn’t see you at the Forbidden Zone’s coronation ceremony today, why have you come to the outer edges of the Forbidden Zone at your leisure?”

Mu Zhi’s gaze remained gentle as she looked ahead, her voice clear and pleasant, a hint of indifference within.

Although she looked like a little girl, when she slightly raised her youthful and cold face, she exuded the noble arrogance of a queen.

“Your perception is as disgusting as ever, Mu Zhi.”

A woman holding an oil-paper umbrella silently appeared from the shadows of the forest ahead.

She looked at the young girl before her with a smile through the rain, then her gaze fell on Mu Zhian, her beautiful eyes lighting up with a hint of surprise, “So this is the one with the Innate Celestial Furnace constitution? I can sense his alluring Spiritual Energy even from this distance.”

A gentle and charming smile quickly appeared on the Master of Reincarnation’s face, and she said softly, “Young friend, why not come to the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation with me? Compared to this flat-chested little girl, a mature woman’s flavor is much more delightful.”

Mu Zhian remained silent. He knew he didn’t need to respond; Mu Zhi would handle it.

As expected, hearing the Master of Reincarnation’s words, Mu Zhi raised a delicate eyebrow and took half a step forward, her cute little face calm as she said faintly, “He’s already in my hands. If you want him, have the previous master of the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation come. You’re not qualified.”

Previous master…?

So, this ‘Master of Reincarnation’ isn’t the first master of the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation, but a successor?

Mu Zhian recalled something he learned before.

Among the Nine Forbidden Lands, two seemed to be without masters currently…

So one of the masterless Forbidden Lands is the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation?

Looking at the seemingly harmless little girl’s disdainful expression, the Master of Reincarnation sneered, mercilessly exposing her, “I know you have another form, but that’s just using forbidden life techniques to alter your appearance, it’s not your true form.”

“As for that ‘previous master’ you mentioned, that geezer has probably already kicked the bucket. You’ll never see him again.”

Hearing this, Mu Zhi wasn’t annoyed at all, but looked at Mu Zhian with a smile and said coquettishly, “Big brother, who do you want to go with?”

As she spoke, her figure transformed once again, becoming her mature form.

I want to go by myself, is that an option…? Mu Zhian complained inwardly, suddenly wondering what their expressions would be if he answered like that.

Mu Zhi wasn’t truly asking for Mu Zhian’s opinion. She looked up at the Master of Reincarnation with a smile, “It seems he prefers me.”

The Master of Reincarnation looked at the young man playfully, “I heard that in the Nine Provinces, some cultivators prefer the pure and innocent type to the sexy type. It seems I didn’t understand your preferences, young friend…”

She said sweetly, “But within the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation, I can satisfy you with any type of woman. Won’t you reconsider? I came all this way to see you~”

As she spoke, her beautiful eyes gazed at him tenderly, as if possessing some kind of magic, drawing his gaze involuntarily.

“Don’t look into her eyes,” Mu Zhi’s lazy and elegant voice suddenly echoed in Mu Zhian’s ear, “The Forbidden Land of Reincarnation’s forbidden object can trap someone in an endless ‘reboot’ loop until its master achieves their goal. Only then will the technique be lifted.”

“But as long as you don’t look into her eyes, the technique won’t work.”

These forbidden objects are getting more and more ridiculous… Mu Zhian immediately reacted, forcing himself to look away.

So that’s what the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation is all about…

If I obtained this forbidden object, wouldn’t I be able to seduce any woman until they submit?

Mu Zhian glanced at the girl beside him, but didn’t speak.

“Mu Zhi, you can’t take him away. Leaving him here is beneficial to both of us,” the Master of Reincarnation said with a smile.

After Mu Zhian reached Soul Transformation, four of the Nine Forbidden Lands had immediately sensed the presence of the Innate Celestial Furnace.

Although they seemed inactive on the surface, countless eyes were undoubtedly watching Mu Zhian from the shadows.

His leaving the Forbidden Zone would undoubtedly cause a stir.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Mu Zhian was now a walking disaster, a harbinger of chaos.

Mu Zhi and the Master of Reincarnation were just two among many.

However, Mu Zhi’s forbidden object could locate Mu Zhian faster.

Or rather, her forbidden object could make Mu Zhian come to her willingly.

However, the two Forbidden Zone Lords’ clones present clearly didn’t expect that someone was watching them from behind the scenes.

“Even if I wanted to let him go, he wouldn’t be willing to leave,” Mu Zhi said, her hands behind her back, a pure and innocent smile on her face, “He wouldn’t bear to leave me, would he?”

As she spoke, she looked at the young man with a smile, a playful and seductive glint in her eyes.

“It seems negotiations have failed. What a pity, I didn’t want to resort to this, as it would easily alert those three Transcendence Realm experts.”

The Master of Reincarnation sighed softly. She suddenly took a step forward. Although she didn’t use any technique, Mu Zhian felt the surrounding space distorting, the turbulent Spiritual Energy currents converging on Mu Zhi under the Master of Reincarnation’s control.

The sky trembled, instantly attracting the attention of many within the Forbidden Zone.

Such power from a mere clone, it was hard to imagine how terrifying the true Master of Reincarnation would be.

Mu Zhi’s expression also changed, not from fear, but because she realized the Master of Reincarnation’s intentions.

After the negotiations failed, this woman planned to escalate their fight and attract the attention of the Jade Empress and the others.

Who the Master of Reincarnation couldn’t have, she didn’t want Mu Zhi to have either!

Mu Zhi also took a step forward. Her clothes fluttered under the moonlight, outlining her slender and beautiful figure, an ethereal charm.

She raised her small hand and snapped her fingers.

The space warped by the Master of Reincarnation instantly shattered. Mu Zhi’s figure vanished from sight, and so did the Master of Reincarnation.

Their bodies were practically invisible, only two blurs constantly colliding ten thousand meters in the sky.

Both were masters of Forbidden Lands, their strengths essentially equal, so it was difficult to determine the victor in a short time.

Even if there was a victor, their Spiritual Energy would be depleted, making it difficult to take Mu Zhian out of the Eastern Continent.

Both sides knew this, so the Master of Reincarnation deliberately held back, but Mu Zhi had no such intention. Unpredictable techniques, transforming into countless runes, assaulted the Master of Reincarnation, as if she didn’t care about her Spiritual Energy consumption at all.

“Mu Zhi, are you crazy?! Even if you win, you can’t take him away!”

The Master of Reincarnation said coldly, “No matter who’s clone is destroyed today, it will affect our main bodies. Why fight to the death with me, making wedding clothes for someone else?”

“Making wedding clothes for someone else?”

Mu Zhi’s figure had silently reappeared beside Mu Zhian. She was tall and graceful, a smile in her eyes as she looked at the second-generation ruler of the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation.

The other party’s Spiritual Energy had been depleted quite a bit by her attacks earlier. Of course… she had also consumed a lot of her own Spiritual Energy.

“Isn’t that right?” The Master of Reincarnation frowned, staring into Mu Zhi’s eyes, “Our fight has probably already been noticed in the Forbidden Zone. Our Spiritual Energy is depleted. If we don’t leave now, we won’t be able to leave at all.”

She had already heard that the Demon Empress, for the sake of that troublemaker Mu Zhian, had slapped the master of the Immortal Forbidden Land in front of everyone, showing no respect for Isis… And the Demon Empress probably hadn’t gone far. If she noticed that another Forbidden Land was also after Mu Zhian…

Neither of their clones who entered the Eastern Continent would survive.

Although she wasn’t afraid of the Demon Empress, if possible, she didn’t want to offend a Transcendence Realm expert.

After all, such an existence, if they were willing to go all out, could pose a threat to the Forbidden Lands.

“My Spiritual Energy is indeed depleted,” a faint smile appeared on Mu Zhi’s face, “but you seem to have forgotten the biggest difference between you and me!”

As her voice fell, the space trembled, and an ancient and powerful aura emanated from Mu Zhi.

She raised her hand and cast a secret technique, preventing the Master of Reincarnation from approaching.

Then, almost without giving Mu Zhian any time to react, she turned and wrapped her arms around the back of his head, gently biting his neck.

Instantly, a surge of powerful Spiritual Energy filled the space between them!

The Forbidden Land of Life’s technique could directly extract and utilize another person’s blood and essence.

The Master of Reincarnation’s beautiful eyes widened slightly in surprise and anger.

The Innate Celestial Furnace!

Indeed, this young man possessed the Innate Celestial Furnace. Anyone who was intimate with him would instantly receive a surge of Spiritual Energy.

As long as Mu Zhian was beside her, Mu Zhi could absorb Spiritual Energy anytime, anywhere.

And almost at the same time, in the void, the Demon Empress’s eyes narrowed, a cold glint within.

Mu Zhian had asked her to secretly protect him… But this wasn’t part of the plan!

Bai Ruoxi seemed quite calm, as if this was nothing to be surprised about. She glanced at the Demon Empress tenderly, then looked at Mu Zhian.

Mmm… although she had seen this kind of scene many times before, she still felt a pang of jealousy.

Next time, if she took him to the Sword Palace, she wouldn’t let him go so easily.

At least, she would have to make up for all the loneliness she and Palace Master had endured.

Although she felt jealous, now wasn’t the time to act rashly. Therefore, the Demon Empress, Bai Ruoxi, and even Yao Meng, who was secretly watching from somewhere, could only helplessly observe.

The Master of Reincarnation’s expression changed slightly. Realizing the situation, she said coldly, “Mu Zhi, you shameless hussy, how can you do this to a stranger you just met?!”

Although she said that, the Master of Reincarnation was already having second thoughts.

Although this was just a wisp of her spiritual sense, if this clone died, it would still affect her main body’s combat power.

Mu Zhi remained silent.

Logically, after replenishing her Spiritual Energy, she should have followed her original plan and suppressed the Master of Reincarnation more forcefully, then taken Mu Zhian away.

However, at this moment, she stared blankly at the young man before her.

Feeling the incredibly familiar Spiritual Energy flowing within her body, after a long while, Mu Zhi subconsciously moved her lips.

Her usually innocent and bright smile had vanished at some point.

She looked up, staring intently at Mu Zhian, and murmured as if in a trance, “…So it’s you.”
