[Achievement Unlocked: Stealing Fragrance and Jade]!
[Stealing Fragrance and Jade: Increases Luck Value by to points every day!]
[Luck Value: Can be used to enhance skill proficiency and cannot directly improve one’s cultivation level!]
How could this happen?!
Chi Feiyan laid there lifelessly, her eyes vacant, like a puppet whose strings had been cut off.
Xu Mu had already left, leaving behind a rich, unique scent lingering in the room.
She was naturally not a fool, someone who would willingly give away everything and everyone she had. So before she embarked upon her plans, she practiced various secret skills.
She was confident that she could control everything!
But, she ended up utterly defeated!
The accumulated yellowish water on the ground was the best evidence.
Damn it! Does that mean I’ve practically given everything away for nothing?
Unwilling to concede defeat, she sent another message to Xu Mu that night.
But the result remained unchanged, and there was even more water on the ground than the day before.
After three consecutive days, she finally gave up completely!
What kind of skill are you practicing that makes you so fast?
In the darkness of the night, staring at the blurry figure, Chi Feiyan grumpily asked.
Perhaps I’m just naturally gifted! Or it could be that you’re just too weak!” Xu Mu shrugged.
Even that monster in the Cloud Peak Mountain Range was no match for me, not to mention your little tricks.
If I didn’t find you useful, I could have eliminated you without lifting a finger.
I don’t believe it! I want to try again!
Chi Feiyan gritted her teeth and forced herself to her feet.
Being ambitious her entire life, she hated the concept of failing in any aspect.
The result, of course, was obvious.
Maybe you could consider changing your tactics!
What do you mean?”
What I mean is if you can’t succeed from the front, try the back. If you can’t win from the bottom, use the top!”
By the time Xu Mu had left, Chi Feiyan was left in a daze, as if her mind had completely shut down.
This time, she had really thrown herself into it, sparing no aspects.
Meanwhile, Xu Mu finally acquired the long-desired Foundation Establishment Pill recipe.
As long as I accumulate enough luck value and gather the necessary herbs, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage will be as easy as a snap of the fingers!”
Xu Mu was in high spirits.
Thud Thud!
A pounding sound echoed from outside the door.
From the main entrance, it reached the attic.
What’s going on?”
Lan Shijin quickly stood up, wiping the corners of her mouth.
I’ll go have a look!
Xu Mu swiftly slapped a couple of Purification Charms on himself, straightened his robe, and quickly walked outside.
Lan Shijin followed closely behind.
Friend Xu!
Ouyang Ying and Zhang Shouren, who lived closest to the main gate, had already come out, standing at the door with tense expressions.
Ye Yingying hadn’t fully recovered, and Leng Yuening had difficulty moving, so Xu Mu didn’t allow them to come out.
What happened?
Xu Mu asked.
I don’t know either. These people came and immediately said they wanted to take us away!” Ouyang Ying replied, frowning.
Take us away?”
Xu Mu looked towards the entrance.
There were more than a dozen cultivators standing at the entrance, all dressed in dark red robes with a flame emblem stitched on their chests. Their realms all at the Qi Cultivation Late Stage.
Among them, a square-faced youth with thick eyebrows and imposing eyes asked, “Are you the head of this household?”
Indeed I am! May I ask what brings you all here?
Enough with the nonsense, gather everyone and come with us!”
The youth looked very impatient.
My friend, you must at least tell me what’s going on,” Xu Mu said with a forced smile.
You’ll know when we get there! Do you really think we would waste our time trying to deceive someone like you?” the youth replied coldly.
“Well…
Just when Xu Mu wanted to say something, he was rudely interrupted by the youth.
Are you evading because you’re a spy from the Demonic Dao?
As soon as he finished speaking, the dozen cultivators behind him summoned their magic artifacts. The surroundings were filled with shimmering light and an intense aura.
Fuck!
These disciples from Liyang Sect were way too arrogant!
Xu Mu cursed inwardly.
Yes, the flame emblem stitched on their chest was the symbol of the Liyang Sect.
The only people who dared to wear such clothes in Liyang City were disciples of the Liyang Sect.
But he didn’t remember any wrongdoing on his part, so why was he suddenly being targeted?
If it was because of the Luo Family, they shouldn’t just send someone in the Qi Cultivation Stage.
Just as Xu Mu was about to hand over a bottle of Qi Gathering Pill, the young man stood motionless, making Xu Mu feel extremely embarrassed.
Just as he was unsure of what to do, Yu Heng, who was patrolling nearby, noticed the movement and brought people over.
Friend Yu!
Xu Mu called out urgently.
Yu Heng was also a disciple of the Liyang Sect and might be able to help.
Yu Heng glanced at him, nodded but said nothing. Instead, he turned to the square-faced young man and said, “Elder Brother Zou, what’s going on here?
The square-faced young man looked at Yu Heng, then at Xu Mu, and his facial expression eased slightly.
Brother Yu, our Law Enforcement Hall has been ordered by the sect to take these people back to the sect for questioning!”
What are we being questioned about?
Naturally, about the Demon Gate! Brother Yu must know about the Luo Family. Upon hearing about it, the Ancestor Lei Ji flew into a rage and ordered us in the Law Enforcement Hall to conduct a thorough investigation!”
Elder Brother Zou, how is their case related to them?” After glancing at Xu Mu and the others, Yu Heng continued, “I patrol here often and haven’t seen them leave Liyang City. Moreover, with their strength, they couldn’t possibly be the culprits!”
Elder Brother Zou gave a bitter smile, “Whether they are the culprits or not, or whether they have the capacity, it doesn’t matter. The Master ordered that every cultivator who fled from the Clear River Sword Sect must be taken back for questioning!”
Xu Mu was left speechless.
Why this terrible luck!
Are the people from Liyang Sect too idle?
Yu Heng frowned, it wasn’t easy for him to interfere in this matter.
Though he had the backing of the most powerful Artifact Refining Hall in the sect, the Law Enforcement Hall held a unique position. With a Golden Pill Ancestor personally involved, it was a bit of a helpless situation.
Seeing the hesitation on Yu Heng’s face, Xu Mu quickly said, “Friends, it’s not that I’m uncooperative. But my wife had just given birth and another is about to deliver. It’s really inconvenient for me to move! Can you please show some leniency?”
I see!”
Yu Heng nodded and turned to Elder Brother Zou, “Elder Brother Zou, could you do me a favor?”
Normally, Xu Mu would offer him many incentives for alchemy. If he didn’t speak up now, not only would he lose face, but it would also be hard to seek Xu Mu’s help in the future.
About that…
Elder Brother Zou looked troubled.
It’s not that I don’t want to do you a favor, but we’re under the scrutiny of the Ancestor. I can’t bear the consequences if something goes wrong later! However, if any elder from the sect can guarantee it, then we could be more flexible!”
Friend Xu, do you know any elder?” Yu Heng asked Xu Mu.
How could I possibly… Hold on!
Xu Mu quickly took out a jade talisman from his pocket and passed it over.
This was given to him by Red Sun Child at an auction.
Elder Red Sun Child?
Elder Brother Zou recognized the jade talisman at a glance, and his face suddenly warmed up.
So you know Elder Red Sun Child, why didn’t you say it earlier? We’re all family!”
Elder Brother Zou returned the jade talisman to Xu Mu and cheerfully said, “Let’s do it this way! Don’t worry about the others. You just come with us. It’s just a formality. Don’t worry!”
Thank you, Elder Brother Zou!
Xu Mu showed a grateful expression, then offered the spirit stone again. This time, Elder Brother Zou did not refuse and swiftly put it in his storage bag.
If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first!” Yu Heng said bowing.
Thanks, Friend Yu!
Xu Mu stepped forward and stealthily passed him another spirit stone.
Without refuse, Yu Heng accepted it and then turned around and left.
After informing Lan Shijin, Xu Mu followed Elder Brother Zou and the others towards the Liyang Sect.
Liyang Sect
Law Enforcement Hall
Inside a sealed, dark, and oppressive interrogation room.
Next!
A loose cultivator from the Clear River Sword Sect nervously walked in, unconsciously clutching the storage bag.
Before he could assess his surroundings, a bronze mirror above his head suddenly shot out a beam of white light, enveloping him.
The initially nervous loose cultivator suddenly relaxed, his face vacant.
Are you a spy sent by the Demon Gate?
A voice floated from the darkness.
No!
The obtuse cultivator responded automatically.
Do you have anything to do with the incident of the Luo Family?
No!
After the man in the darkness asked a few more questions and confirmed it was not him, the light from the bronze mirror quickly retracted.
The listless cultivator jerked as if he had been electrocuted, instantly waking up. He looked around bewildered, having no idea what just happened.
Before he could ask, a force from the darkness sent him out.
Next!
