“Chief, I did everything for your sake. The ancient ruin I know about is the most dangerous of them all. Even your father failed to retrieve anything from it back then.”
Miao Wentian remained neither servile nor arrogant. “I truly don’t want to send you to your death!”
“Act in five seconds.”
Xu Mu’s voice appeared in Li Chenshuang’s ear.
Then Xu Mu transmitted to Miao Wentian, “Be careful. Li Chenshuang is about to make her move. Get ready to run outside.”
“So you’re the traitor!” Li Chenshuang roared. “I’m the chief now, yet you refuse to obey my orders!”
The two corpses attacked at the same time.
They both erupted with power and charged toward Miao Wentian.
Miao Wentian, who had been prepared for this, released his own power and immediately retreated toward the palace’s exit.
Seeing this, Xu Mu continued transmitting to Miao Wentian. “In a moment, act disappointed, then agree to tell Li Chenshuang the location.”
The moment Li Chenshuang saw Miao Wentian escape, she immediately controlled the two corpses to pursue him.
She followed after them as well.
Li Peijun, who was nearby, also set off at once.
Xu Mu walked out unhurriedly. The next step was the ruin. As long as he gave the location to Li Peijun, her grandfather would definitely go there.
“Chief! You’ve truly disappointed me. Their disappearance has nothing to do with me, yet you suspect me.”
Miao Wentian looked at Li Chenshuang with deep disappointment. “Since you want the location, I’ll give it to you! From this day forward, you and I have nothing to do with each other. Whether you live or die is none of my concern.”
Li Peijun, who had caught up with them, heard this and was secretly thrilled. She had never expected to obtain the location so easily.
The previous chief possessed three ancient ruins. Knowing that his days were numbered, he entrusted them separately to three of his subordinates.
Miao Wentian was the person Li Chenshuang’s father trusted most, so the ruin in his hands was the most dangerous—but it also contained the most treasures.
Originally, Li Peijun’s grandfather, Li Jiao, had been fairly loyal. That changed after Li Peijun was born.
From a young age, she displayed talent no weaker than Li Chenshuang’s, almost constantly breaking Li Chenshuang’s records.
Li Jiao disliked living under someone else’s roof, so he joined forces with others and secretly ventured into the ancient ruin under his control.
Relying on the treasures he obtained inside, he successfully reached the second level of the Boundary-Breaking Realm and became the strongest person in the Second Tribe.
He began carrying out his plans step by step, cultivating his own faction.
When the time came, he would not need to fight. All he needed was a single crisis, and with the support of these people, he could naturally become chief.
But an unexpected variable appeared.
Who could have imagined that Li Chenshuang would be so lucky as to acquire two fifth- and sixth-tier corpses?
She had even obtained the Nether Servant Insect.
With just one trip outside, she had completely upset the balance of the Second Tribe.
Li Jiao could no longer sit back and wait. He had to take the initiative.
The location of the ancient ruin in Miao Wentian’s hands was the key.
Li Chenshuang was a member of the Jiuli royal family, a lineage descended from Li Ju.
Li Ju was one of the Jiuli and Chi You’s younger brothers.
There had to be countless treasures in this ruin—enough to allow Li Jiao to reach the third level, or even the fourth.
And if he could also find the legendary divine artifact inside, he naturally would no longer regard Li Chenshuang as a threat.
That was why they had staged this disappearance. Their goal was to make Li Chenshuang suspect Miao Wentian.
Miao Wentian took a sheet of paper from his person and swiftly wrote down a location. He then crumpled the paper into a ball and tossed it toward Li Chenshuang.
“Senior, go outside first and hide within ten kilometers of the factory. I’ll come find you later.”
Xu Mu continued transmitting to Miao Wentian.
Miao Wentian turned and flew outside, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Li Peijun immediately walked toward the crumpled paper, but Xu Mu reached it first and picked it up.
He unfolded the paper and glanced at the location. It was at the border between the Central Plains and Qilu.
He handed the paper to Li Chenshuang and transmitted, “Don’t let Li Peijun see it.”
Li Chenshuang took a quick look, then folded it back up and placed it in her spatial ring.
“Chief Sister, you shouldn’t have let him go so easily. He may be the one who harmed my grandfather.”
Li Peijun came to Li Chenshuang’s side. “We should hurry to this location. I have a feeling Miao Wentian may get there before us.”
Li Chenshuang nodded inwardly, then asked, “Xu Mu, what do you think?”
“I think Peijun is right. We can’t wait. We have to leave immediately.”
Xu Mu paused before continuing, “But we still need to be cautious. He has clearly joined forces with an expert. Otherwise, how could he have killed two Boundary-Breaking cultivators so easily?”
“That makes sense. He must have an accomplice.”
Li Chenshuang nodded thoughtfully. “Looks like I’ll need to go to the First Tribe and find someone.”
“Chief Sister, that wouldn’t be a good idea, would it? This belongs to our Second Tribe. If the First Tribe gets involved, they’ll definitely demand a share of the treasures.”
Li Peijun hurriedly spoke up.
She absolutely could not allow experts from the First Tribe to come. The more experts who arrived, the more unfavorable it would be for their plan.
“I think Peijun is right!”
Xu Mu chimed in.
Li Peijun was completely baffled when she heard this. In her eyes, Xu Mu was a brainless fool, and just like Li Chenshuang, he was her enemy.
But could it be… that he liked her?
【Affection +2】
She realized that almost every time she made a suggestion, Xu Mu agreed with her. Clearly, he was trying to win her favor.
“Don’t look for anyone from the First Tribe. What if they take the treasures away?”
Xu Mu turned to Li Chenshuang. “I’ll find the reinforcements instead. If we really discover treasures, the greater share will definitely still belong to you.”
【Affection +10】
Li Chenshuang nodded gently, her face filled with emotion. “Who are you planning to find?”
Xu Mu rubbed his chin and thought. He had only two candidates: Chen Xuan and Fu Jinyu.
Chen Xuan had only just entered the Transcendent Realm. He would certainly be under pressure facing Boundary-Breaking experts, but he was the protagonist.
Fu Jinyu’s Heavenly Demon Tribe had been mortal enemies with the Jiuli Tribe for generations.
However, for his sake, she would definitely come and help.
“Let me think about it. In any case, we can’t delay.”
Xu Mu looked at Li Peijun. “Go back and make preparations first. We’ll leave together tomorrow at the latest.”
Li Peijun nodded, but still asked with a smile, “Brother Xu Mu, what level of expert can you bring?”
“I know a first-level Boundary-Breaking expert. He’s extremely powerful and can even fight someone at the second level.”
Xu Mu explained.
“That’s incredible! With Chief Sister’s corpses, we’ll definitely be able to obtain the treasures. I’ll go prepare right now.”
Li Peijun jogged away.
Once her back was turned to Xu Mu and the others, the corners of her lips curved upward.
A first-level Boundary-Breaking expert who could fight someone at the second level? Wasn’t that just courting death?
When Xu Mu had said he would find reinforcements, she had thought he meant some top-tier expert at the fourth or fifth level.
After watching Li Peijun leave, Xu Mu patted Li Chenshuang on the back. “Let’s head back to the palace.”
Li Chenshuang nodded, then asked with a smile, “Do you like Li Peijun, or do you think she’s a traitor?”

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples.
