Chen Xuan Wants to Go to the Inner Realm

Chen Xuan’s figure appeared in the distance as well. He immediately shouted to Xu Mu, “Brother Mu, leave this woman to me!”

Xu Mu nodded and activated the teleportation token on his body, instantly appearing in front of Xue Yingsi.

By then, Xue Yingsi’s eyes had gone blank, and he stood motionless.

Just as Izayoi Sachiko was preparing to attack, Xu Mu appeared, and she immediately shifted her target to him.

Xu Mu activated Demon Guardian and Spirit-Vein Armament before slashing out with his sword.

Boom!

Their qi collided, and the palace suddenly began to crack and collapse.

A falling stone pillar struck Xue Yingsi on the head, finally jolting him back to his senses.

When he saw that Xu Mu was fighting in front of him, cold sweat broke out across his body. Clearly, if Xu Mu had not been there, he would most likely have died.

Just as he was about to join the battle, Xu Mu’s voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

“I can keep her occupied for now. Her illusions can’t control me. Gather your strength and prepare for a sneak attack. Let me know when you’re ready.”

Hearing this, Xue Yingsi could no longer worry about saving face.

Without Xu Mu’s suggestion, he would most likely have fought Izayoi Sachiko head-on.

His cultivation was higher than hers, and his talent was also superior. If he won through a sneak attack, he would become a laughingstock in the future.

But now, he had no other choice.

If Xu Mu had not been there just now, he would have been the one to die.

“Xu Mu! I really don’t want to kill you! But you truly frighten me. You have to die! As long as you’re alive, I won’t be able to sleep!”

Izayoi Sachiko lunged at Xu Mu, but his figure moved like a ghost, and she could not touch him.

From time to time, she was even struck by Xu Mu’s sword qi.

As a third-stage Boundary Breaker, she could easily kill a Transcendent cultivator, or even a first-stage Boundary Breaker.

Yet dealing with Xu Mu was proving incredibly troublesome.

“Ready!”

Xue Yingsi’s voice reached Xu Mu’s ears.

“Prepare the teleportation token,” Xu Mu immediately transmitted back.

Xu Mu, who had been fleeing moments before, suddenly turned around and charged toward the pursuing Izayoi Sachiko.

When Izayoi Sachiko saw that Xu Mu actually dared to attack her, she not only failed to defend herself but increased the force behind her attack.

After probing him several times, she had already figured Xu Mu out.

Although his strength far surpassed that of others at the same level, he was still far too weak compared with someone at her realm.

Crack!

A crisp sound rang out as the space around Izayoi Sachiko shattered like glass.

She had been flying through the air, but suddenly froze. Her body then began falling uncontrollably.

Before Xu Mu could even send a message, Xue Yingsi had already seized the opportunity. Using the teleportation token, he appeared in front of Xu Mu.

A phantom of a woman emerged around his body.

“Snow Woman’s Sigh!”

As Xue Yingsi raised his hand, the phantom woman surrounding him exhaled a stream of icy air.

The moment the cold air touched Izayoi Sachiko, her body was completely frozen.

An ice spear appeared in Xue Yingsi’s hand. He thrust it forward with all his strength, piercing through her chest.

Only after that did the ice imprisoning her slowly dissipate.

Izayoi Sachiko regained her senses. She lowered her head and stared at the hole through her chest, her face filled with unwillingness.

“Bastard! You bastards!”

Blood continuously spurted from her body before she finally collapsed to the ground, powerless.

“You should have died long ago!”

Xue Yingsi let out a cold snort.

In the distance, Izayoi Shien, who had been locked in fierce combat with Chen Xuan, became completely dazed when she saw what had happened.

She had once heard her mother say that although Xue Yingsi’s cultivation was higher, he had no way to resist illusions.

Her mother could have killed him with ease.

Yet now, with Xu Mu’s addition alone, her mother had ended up being the one who was killed.

“Izayoi Shien, as long as you remain loyal to me and stop associating with the Tianyu Clan, I can spare your life and let you become the family head.”

Xue Yingsi turned toward Izayoi Shien. “I understand what kind of person you are. I hope you won’t continue down the wrong path.”

Izayoi Shien gazed at the corpse in the distance and finally let out a sigh.

She had never received anything resembling maternal love from Izayoi Sachiko since childhood.

Her mother had too many children. Once there were enough of them, none could possibly receive all the love and attention.

In her mother’s eyes, these children were merely subordinates who happened to share her blood.

“Fine.”

Izayoi Shien agreed.

Xu Mu crouched down, removed the spatial ring from Izayoi Sachiko’s finger, and slipped it into his pocket.

“Thank you,” Xue Yingsi said, bowing to Xu Mu.

He was deeply shocked. He had no idea what Xu Mu had done just now, but somehow, he had caused Izayoi Sachiko to lose consciousness for a brief moment.

Otherwise, Xue Yingsi would never have killed her so easily.

“Don’t mention it. We’re being paid, after all. You can handle the cleanup.”

Xu Mu glanced at Chen Xuan, who was walking over. “We’re leaving.”

“All right. I’ll see you out,” Xue Yingsi said, handing Xu Mu his token.

His opinion of Xu Mu had risen even further. The Dragon Kingdom was truly terrifying. Once Xu Mu fully developed, he would become another supreme expert standing at the very pinnacle of the world.

Xu Mu did not refuse. The group left the ruins together.

Outside, Xu Mu and Xue Yingsi exchanged phone numbers before saying goodbye.

Xu Mu and Chen Xuan retraced their original route.

After passing through the barrier, they returned to the outside world.

Xu Mu took out the ring and inspected its contents. A smile soon appeared on his face, and he handed the ring to Chen Xuan.

“Old Chen, that red cultivation manual inside seems to be an Earth-grade illusion art. It’s yours.”

“Brother Mu, you should learn it first,” Chen Xuan said as he took out the red metal plate.

“Don’t be so polite with me. I already have an even stronger spiritual cultivation technique. Once you’ve learned this one, give it back to me. I’ll have the people around me try cultivating it as well.”

Xu Mu spoke to Chen Xuan.

“Fine! Then I won’t stand on ceremony.”

Chen Xuan placed the cultivation manual in his own ring before handing the ring back to Xu Mu.

Xu Mu took out his phone and sent Ji Liang a message, telling him what had happened.

Not long afterward, he received a voice message from Ji Liang informing Xu Mu and Chen Xuan that they could return.

The Cleanup Bureau would leave the rest for them to resolve and would temporarily stop interfering in their affairs.

Xu Mu replied that he understood, then traveled with Chen Xuan by car to the airport.

They bought tickets to Yanjing. After all, there were no direct flights to Jiang City from here.

The two sat in the first-class VIP lounge, waiting for their flight.

Chen Xuan stretched lazily and suddenly said, “Brother Mu, I want to visit some of those inner realms, such as Hetu and Beiming.”

“You think your senior sister might be there?”

Xu Mu asked with a smile.

“That’s one reason. My senior sister is much stronger than I am, but my main goal is to gain experience and become stronger.”

Chen Xuan glanced around. “In the outside world, people at our level can no longer act freely.”

“All right. Once we get back, we’ll discuss it with Senior Ji Liang. If we can carry out missions there, we’ll be able to gain experience and obtain treasures at the same time. Wouldn’t that be even better?”

“Well said.”

Chen Xuan nodded with a smile. “Brother Mu, you really are my benefactor. If it weren’t for you, I definitely wouldn’t have improved so quickly.”

Thinking about it carefully, he had only come down from the mountains a short while ago, yet his strength had already advanced by leaps and bounds.

He had also entered the inner realms several times by now.

“This is because of your own fortune…”

Xu Mu was in the middle of speaking when he suddenly spotted a girl dressed in Lolita fashion enter his line of sight.

“Dad! Hurry up—the food in the VIP lounge is free.”

The person who had arrived was none other than Xiao Qiao.
