Whose Lost Beauty Is This

Xu Mu did not stop. He picked up the spray again and sprayed Zhou Su.

All their attention had been focused on Miao Wentian, so neither of them had expected Xu Mu to make a move against them.

“Xu Mu! What are you doing?”

Zhou Su suddenly unleashed her power, trying to evaporate the liquid on her face.

“I don’t know what’s happening either. My hands won’t obey me. I think I’ve been controlled.”

Xu Mu grinned as he put the spray into his spatial ring.

“Bullshit!”

Zhou Su had originally intended to escape, but she suddenly discovered that something seemed to be wrong with the meridians in her body.

Whenever she tried to unleash her power, her body would convulse, making it impossible for her to use her strength properly.

Li Peijun also widened her eyes. Her limbs no longer obeyed her, and she collapsed helplessly onto the ground.

“Brother Xu Mu, what did you do to me?”

“It’s nothing. I just wanted to verify whether my guess was correct.”

After saying that, Xu Mu looked at Miao Wentian. “Are we just going to wait here?”

“Come with me. We’ll go to that building over there.”

Miao Wentian pointed at the distant cylinder. “There’s no formation inside that building.”

“Okay.”

Xu Mu grinned, hoisted Li Peijun and Zhou Su over his shoulders, and followed Miao Wentian.

The others followed behind them as well.

When they arrived inside the cylindrical building, everyone was astonished to discover that the entire structure was transparent from the inside.

Standing within the building, they could clearly see the desert outside.

Xu Mu put Li Peijun and Zhou Su down, then smiled. “Now all we have to do is wait.”

“Wait? Brother Xu Mu, who are you waiting for?”

Li Peijun’s face gradually turned pale.

“Your grandfather. Your grandfather isn’t dead at all. Of course, that’s only a guess. If he doesn’t come, I’ll apologize to you afterward.”

Xu Mu sat down beside Li Peijun.

“How could my grandfather possibly come? Isn’t he dead? Xu Mu! Give me the antidote! Give it to me!”

Li Peijun’s expression grew increasingly vicious.

She had never expected Xu Mu to see through everything.

Had everything he had done to her before just been an act?

Zhou Su’s pupils trembled as well. She raised her head, her voice quivering slightly. “Leader, you… suspect me?”

“I’ve never suspected you. That’s why I wanted to prove it. If Xu Mu was wrong, I’ll apologize.”

Li Chenshuang was no fool. Seeing the panic on their faces, she had already figured out most of the truth.

About half an hour later, a beam of light appeared in the sky above the distant desert.

The next moment, several figures appeared there.

There were five people in total, all dressed in black robes that concealed their appearances.

After appearing, they looked around, inspecting their surroundings.

“All right. You four, go over there. I’m sure we’ll have the truth soon enough. I’ll wait here.”

Xu Mu waved at the people in front of him.

Li Chenshuang nodded and walked out of the building.

Miao Wentian followed closely behind her.

“Finally, we’re going to fight. I hope they’re worthy opponents.”

Fu Jinyu walked outside as well.

“Brother Mu, I want to go over too and test out my new realm.”

Chen Xuan grinned as he took out his woodcutter’s knife and left the building.

That left only Xu Mu and the two women inside.

After seeing the others leave, Li Peijun hurriedly begged for mercy. “Brother Xu Mu, please let me go.”

“Why?”

“Li Chenshuang is an evil woman! She was the one who planned so many campaigns against the Yanhuang people, killing countless of them!”

Li Peijun spoke frantically. “We’re the good guys. Our goal is to overthrow her rule!”

Zhou Su let out a deep sigh. She had never imagined that Xu Mu’s thoughts would be so meticulous.

He had played them both for fools. She had already given up.

“Don’t be nervous. Just wait a little longer.”

“Xu Mu! Don’t you like me? Let me go, and I’ll become your woman.”

“Heh, I like them big.”

Xu Mu smiled and looked Li Peijun up and down. “The two things you’ve got combined aren’t even half as big as Li Chenshuang’s thunderous pair.”

“Fuck!”

…

By this time, Li Chenshuang and the others had already come face-to-face with the five black-robed men.

Without beating around the bush, she immediately exposed the truth. “Li Jiao, you finally came.”

One of the black-robed men across from them froze. Then, he released his qi, shattering the black robe he was wearing.

Bang!

The black cloth burst into pieces and scattered in every direction.

A sturdy middle-aged man with silver hair and a scar on the left side of his face was revealed.

Judging from his appearance, he was indeed younger than Miao Wentian. By Yanhuang standards, he should not yet be sixty.

“Looks like we fell into a trap. Xu Mu really isn’t simple. When my granddaughter called him a Big Idiot, I should have been on my guard.”

Li Jiao slowly shook his head. “But it doesn’t matter. It’s enough that we’ve made it to the ruins.”

“Who told you these ruins are real?”

Miao Wentian asked coldly, “Li Jiao! Was the former leader not good enough to you? Why did you betray him?”

Another black-robed man raised his hand. A large swarm of tiny black insects emerged from his body.

The insects devoured his black robe, revealing an old, bald man clad in black armor.

A black centipede tattoo covered the top of his bald head.

This man was Batu, the last Boundary-Breaker of the Second Tribe.

“Old Miao, the former leader was indeed good to me, but Li Chenshuang isn’t him.”

As Batu spoke, a centipede crawled out of his mouth. “Survival of the fittest. Natural selection.”

“Cut the crap. What are you after?”

Li Chenshuang looked at them coldly.

“Li Chenshuang, all of this is because of you. Why did you have to take those two corpses? The balance in our tribe had been stable, but you were the one who disrupted it.”

Li Jiao clenched his fists. “If you had obediently stepped down and handed the position of leader over to me, none of this would have happened.”

“So you started a rebellion! How can you face the former leader?”

Miao Wentian roared.

“I only want to make the Second Tribe stronger. We lost too many experts in the battle back then. Although we’re called the Second Tribe, our overall strength is inferior even to the Third and Fourth Tribes!”

Li Jiao pointed at Li Chenshuang. “It’s all because of you! We were once so glorious. And now? Whenever people mention the Second Tribe, all they say is that its leader is the Great Villainess!”

“Hmph! You’re merely finding excuses for your own selfish desires. Now that I have these two corpses, the tribe’s overall strength will rise dramatically. Why rebel at this particular moment? Isn’t it because my position has become more secure?”

Li Chenshuang sneered repeatedly.

“Enough nonsense! Miao Wentian, if you don’t want Li Chenshuang to die, hand over the real location. Otherwise, all of you will die!”

The qi around Li Jiao slowly spread outward, causing the sand in every direction to tremble.

“Why waste time talking to him?”

A black sword appeared in Fu Jinyu’s hand as he strode toward Li Jiao.

“The Sky Demon Tribe? Li Chenshuang, you truly aren’t fit to be leader!”

Li Jiao slowly shook his head. “Since you insist, then let’s fight! I paid a great price to deal with those two corpses of yours.”

“Wait! Who lost this beauty?”

Xu Mu came into view from a distance, carrying Li Peijun over his shoulder. A hostage this useful would be a waste not to use.
