    Qin Mu looked at the Heavenly Duke Primordial Spirit in the nine prisons tform, and hope still shone in his eyes. He really hoped that heavenly duke would be able to walk out from the nine prisons tform to prove that he had extremely deep feelings for the Heavenly Dao. Even the nine prisons tform couldn’t Lock his dao heart!


    Only in this way would heavenly duke be the heavenly duke who had the heart of the heavens and not a heavenly venerable Hong who was ruled by desire!


    It was also only in this way that he would use all his strength to protect the life of the heavenly duke even if it meant risking his life!


    However, the primordial spirit of the Heavenly Duke didn’t walk out of the ninth prison stage as he had expected.


    Dao Heart wasn’t as easy to cultivate as the world had imagined. If one wanted to cultivate dao heart, they needed not only powerful magic power, but also the perception of the Great Dao of Heaven and earth. They also needed to temper themselves in the mortal world.


    Heavenly Duke lived in Xuan Du, which was too high and far away. His body also resisted the Heavenly Dao, so his dao heart wasn’t as strong as Qin Mu had imagined.


    Heavenly Duke was still suppressing the consciousness of Heavenly Dao and didn’t let it attack Qin Mu, which gave him a glimmer of hope.


    However, as the stabbing pain of nine prison tform became deeper and deeper, the heavenly duke also found it harder and harder to resist the consciousness of Heavenly Dao.


    Tian Shu, butcher, Luo Wushuang, and Zhe Huali gripped the hilt of their knives tightly and stared at their surroundings. Beads of sweat mixed with blood flowed down their foreheads. They didn’t urge Qin Mu anymore because as long as Qin Mu made up his mind, he would rarely change.


    They were Qin Mu’s friends and family, so they understood everything that Qin Mu had done.


    Suddenly, Qin Mu dispersed nine hell stage, and the pressure of Heavenly Dao in the surroundings also dissipated.


    The bodies of the four of them went limp and almost knelt on the ground. Qin Mu still made a change and made apromise. He didn’t persist to the end.


    “He’s worried about our lives.”


    Butcher held onto Heaven Knife To prevent himself from falling down, he thought to himself, “If Mu’er was here alone, he would probably use his life to bet that Heaven Guild wouldn’t walk out of nine prison stage. ‘but with us by his side, he doesn’t dare to bet. In his heart, our lives are as important as Heaven Duke’s.’


    Qin Mu closed his eyes and didn’t look at Heaven Duke’s primordial spirit that was walking over.


    When Heaven Duke’s primordial spirit came to his side, he still looked like the white-bearded old man who had been chased by Qin Fengqing all over the Qin continent. He had a kind expression and smiled. “Heavenly venerate mu, the obsession in your heart is too deep.”


    Qin Mu suddenly opened his eyes and revealed a smile.


    He took out a piece of paper and a brush and spread it on the ground. He bent down and used the brush to walk like a dragon and snake. Soon, he drew a scroll of nine prison tforms on the paper and hurriedly rolled it up before handing it over to heavenly duke.


    Heavenly Duke was slightly stunned and caught the scroll.


    “Dao brother, don’t open it now. Open it after I leave.”


    Qin Mu smiled. “In that case, even if Heavenly Dao wants to attack me, they won’t be able to attack me.”


    Heavenly duke primordial spirit asked, “What will happen when I open this painting?”


    “Just like before.”


    Qin Mu didn’t hide anything. “You will be locked up by nine prisons tform and fall into it. You will feel the piercing pain of your dao heart.”


    Heavenly duke primordial spirit asked, “What if I don’t open this painting and destroy it instead?”


    “Then I will leave Mystic City and stop stopping you from seeking death.”


    Qin Mu said solemnly, “I’ll also dissuade heavenly venerate Yue, heavenly venerate you, and founding emperor who’s about to rush over. We’ll leave together and let you get what you want!”


    Heavenly Duke’s primordial spirit asked again, “If I open this picture, will you do your best to stop me from seeking death and not let me get rid of the shackles of Heavenly Dao?”


    Qin Mu shook his head. “I’ll do my best to stop tenth heavenly venerate, but I won’t stop you from seeking death. There’s a difference between the two. If you open this picture, you’ll still be my dao brother. I’ll do my best to help you!”


    Heaven Duke’s primordial spirit pondered for a moment before keeping the picture scroll. “Allow me to consider.”


    Qin Mu spread out his divine treasure domain and swept butcher, Tian Shu, and the rest away.


    Heaven Duke’s primordial spirit watched them leave, and his gazended on the picture scroll. After a moment, he tied it to the side and didn’t open it. However, his gaze would look at the picture scroll from time to time.


    Outside, the will of Heavenly Dao was controlling his body to fight against heavenly venerate Hong and the rest. Heavenly venerate Yue, Lang Bao, and heavenly venerate you were doing their best to stop it. The two sides fought until the sky copsed and the earth cracked. Only this ce was still considered quiet.


    He stood there silently, and a ball of heavenly fire crystal floated on his palm. The crystal continued to grow and rotate, and his face from different angles was reflected on the surface of the crystal.


    He only needed to flick his finger to burn the picture scroll and destroy Qin Mu’s divine art, but he still hadn’t made a decision.


    Qin Mu carried butcher and the rest out of heavenly Duke’s body, and his feet stopped. A resurrection divine boat appeared under his feet, carrying them intoyers of void and leaving the battlefield.


    After a long time, the resurrection divine boat sailed out of the void and dispersed.


    Qin Mu sat in the void and watched the battle between Heavenly Duke, Heavenly Venerate Hong, and the rest from afar. He remained silent.


    The time it takes for an incense stick to burn passed, and he stood up. As if he had nothing on his mind, he took out all kinds of medicinal herbs and refined spirit pills to treat butcher, Tian Shu, and the rest’s injuries and remove their injuries from Heavenly Dao.


    The four of them looked at each other and didn’t say anything.


    Qin Mu treated their injuries once and checked them carefully to make sure that they didn’t have any hidden illnesses before stopping.


    Zhe Huali finally couldn’t take it anymore and asked, “Heavenly Duke didn’t open that painting of yours?”


    Qin Mu shook his head and said indifferently, “No.”


    Luo wushuang suddenly said, “It’s impossible for heavenly duke to open that painting. If you help him, you will only stop him from breaking free from the control of Heavenly Dao! In order to break free from the control of Heavenly Dao, he set up this trap, so why does he need to break his own trap?”


    Tian Shu nodded. “One hand is right. An existence like the heavenly duke is too close to the sky and too far from the Earth. He doesn’t have such thoughts as us. Call heavenly venerate Yue, heavenly venerate you, and the rest, we should go. “We don’t need to fight to the death for the Heavenly Duke, let alone that he doesn’t appreciate our kindness.”


    Qin Mu hesitated.


    Butcher said, “Why don’t we wait a little longer?”


    Qin Mu revealed a smile. “Then we’ll wait a little longer.”


    The five of them sat down quietly to recuperate and wait quietly.


    Qin Mu was still paying attention to the battlefield when the corners of his eyes suddenly twitched. He saw heavenly venerate you, Lang Bao, and heavenly venerate Yue getting injured one after another. He sighed and got up. “There’s no need to wait anymore. Let’s inform them to retreat from Mystic City.”


    Butcher and the rest also got up silently and followed him to the battlefield.


    At that moment, heavenly venerate Hong led the other heavenly venerates to attack the heavenly dukes one after another, causing the injuries of the heavenly dukes to be more and more severe. Even if they had the battle prowess of the great celestial heavens and had endless power, being in the main battlefield of Mystic City.., even the heavenly dukes wouldn’t be able to escape death!


    Qin Mu and the rest approached heavenly venerate Yue and the rest. Heavenly venerate Yue, heavenly venerate you, and godly King Lang Bao tried their best to stop heavenly venerate Hong and the rest, but their efforts were futile.


    “Heavenly venerate Yue, heavenly venerate you, Lang here, Stop!”


    Qin Mu’s divine consciousness fluctuated, and he transmitted his voice to the three of them. “There’s no need to continue...”


    Suddenly, his body trembled violently, and he looked at heavenly duke with an expression of disbelief.


    He felt that the painting had been opened, and the divine art of nine prison heart locking path had been triggered!


    On heavenly duke’s spiritual tform, heavenly duke’s primordial spirit looked at the divine art of nine prison heart locking path that had been triggered. Thorns grew on nine prison tform, and it touched Dao Heart.


    ‘The road is long and the path of cultivation is long. Perhaps searching up and down is the correct path.’


    He jumped into the nine prisons tform and an intense pain came from it, sealing his dao heart!


    Qin Muughed loudly and his spirit increased by a hundred times. With his long knife, he carried butcher and the rest and rushed towards heavenly venerate fire who was attacking heavenly venerate moon!
