Xianling Nan continued glancing left and right, constantly keeping watch on her surroundings.
But inside this Heavenly Dao-grade formation, with her Transcendent cultivation, there was no way she could see through it.
Xu Mu continued walking toward her openly. Since she couldn’t detect him, there was no need for him to be cautious.
After circling back to her side, he decided to make one final attempt. Since physical objects could come into contact with her, he would try using a silver needle to restrain Xianling Nan.
The long sword in his hand lightly landed on her shoulder. Xianling Nan immediately burst out with qi, sending dozens of white orbs of light flying outward from around her body.
Xu Mu instinctively raised a defense, only to discover that the orbs passed straight through him.
This proved that another person’s qi could not attack him.
That left Xu Mu in a difficult position. Since qi could not affect other people, he could not inscribe a voice-transmission formation onto Xianling Nan.
Unless they left the formation first, he had no way to inscribe the formation on her.
However, entering this place clearly meant they could not leave easily.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Mu realized that physical objects could be touched, and that the blue-faced, fanged monsters over there could also see them.
Suddenly, Xu Mu took a fist-sized spirit stone from his spatial ring and tossed it onto the ground.
Sure enough, Xianling Nan, who was standing in the distance, saw the spirit stone.
However, she did not come over. She remained where she was, one foot trembling continuously. She had clearly been bitten earlier.
When Xu Mu saw that she could see the spirit stone, he knew what to do.
He opened his storage space and took out a handful of spatial rings. After searching through them one by one, he finally found a cellphone.
He did not dare use his own phone. What if Xianling Nan destroyed it immediately?
Xu Mu opened the video-recording function and spoke into the phone, “Xianling Nan, it’s me, Xu Mu. I’m right beside you. I understand formations, so I can see you, and I can hear you speaking.”
After recording the message, Xu Mu placed the phone on the ground.
Only after his hand left the phone did Xianling Nan notice it.
It seemed that as long as someone held an object, the other person could not see it.
Xianling Nan had not moved when she saw the spirit stone, but when she noticed the phone, she limped over.
She crouched down to examine it and discovered that the phone was displaying a video. She bent over, picked it up, and tapped the screen. The video Xu Mu had just recorded began playing.
“Xu Mu, is that you?”
After watching the video, a trace of ecstatic joy appeared on Xianling Nan’s face.
[Affection +10]
Xu Mu took the phone back and filmed himself again. “It’s me. Your foot is injured, so I’ll give you a simple dressing. While I’m at it, tell me how you got here and what you encountered along the way.”
This time, he placed the phone in Xianling Nan’s hand. Then he took out a healing pill and put it into her mouth.
Afterward, he supported her and helped her sit down before removing her shoe.
Xu Mu applied some heavenly materials and earthly treasures to the wound, then wrapped a bandage around her ankle.
Xianling Nan could not see Xu Mu. She could only watch as the bandage wound itself around her injury, one layer after another.
[Affection +10]
She revealed a radiant smile and began telling Xu Mu about what had happened to her.
The White Stone Clan had now largely stabilized, but the remnants of the Lao Jie Clan’s forces had not been completely wiped out.
Xianling Nan had been leading two World-Breaking experts in an operation to eliminate them.
Who could have known that, during the pursuit, they would discover this ancient ruin?
After entering, they realized that this place was very likely the battlefield of the gods, and so they ventured farther inside.
They had now been trapped for roughly seven or eight days and had been completely unable to leave.
After finishing her treatment, Xu Mu sat down beside Xianling Nan, took the phone, and continued, “How much do you know about the formation here?”
As soon as Xianling Nan heard this, she immediately said, “Be careful of the blue-faced, fanged monsters around you. They’re very weak, but if you kill nine of them in succession, an extremely powerful red-faced monster will appear. No one else can see this monster. It will only pursue and kill the person who slaughtered the nine blue-faced monsters.”
“How do you know that? You can’t see the other people.”
Xu Mu continued using the phone to transmit his voice.
“Because whenever I keep running, most of those blue-faced, fanged monsters eventually collapse on their own. They must have been dealt with by someone else. But the red-faced monster is different. I’ve fled to many places, and it has never once been attacked.”
Xianling Nan explained her reasoning.
“Pretty clever. I’ll carry you for now. I have other companions, so I’ll go find them first.”
After saying this, Xu Mu carried Xianling Nan on his back.
He immediately felt an overwhelming threat like terrifying thunder and did not dare move recklessly.
Although Xianling Nan could not see Xu Mu, the sensation of embracing him was transmitted to her clearly, giving her a far greater sense of security.
“Old Chen, Weiyang, what’s your situation? I’ve found out some information here.”
Xu Mu sent voice transmissions to the two of them, warning them that they must not kill too many of the blue-faced, fanged monsters.
“Brother Mu, you should’ve said that earlier. I’ve already killed more than ten.”
Chen Xuan sounded helpless. A moment later, his voice suddenly rose several pitches.
“Holy crap! It’s really here!”
“What realm is it?”
Xu Mu immediately asked.
“I’ll test it with one exchange.”
Chen Xuan’s voice disappeared as soon as he finished speaking.
“Xu Mu! Where are you? Boo-hoo! There are so many monsters!”
Ying Weiyang’s sobbing voice came through as well.
“Don’t worry. There’s no need to panic. As long as you don’t fight those monsters, you’ll be safe.”
Xu Mu sent another voice transmission to Ying Weiyang. “Find a conspicuous location, crouch down, and cover your head.”
He had just experienced the strength of these minor monsters himself. At most, they could cause him a little pain.
They were completely incapable of harming him, so naturally they could not inflict a fatal injury on Ying Weiyang.
“Okay.”
Ying Weiyang agreed. “There’s a white stone palace here. Half of it has collapsed. I’ll wait for you here.”
“Got it.”
After Xu Mu finished speaking, he spread out his perception and continued walking into the distance.
Suddenly, he froze. He remembered that there had been someone not far from Xianling Nan earlier.
But that person was no longer within the range of his perception.
His perception could only detect living beings. This proved that the person was already dead.
“Brother Mu, I tested it roughly. Its cultivation is three levels higher than mine, around the peak of the Transcendent realm.”
Chen Xuan’s voice transmission entered Xu Mu’s ears. “It’s still manageable for me.”
“I understand.”
Xu Mu continued toward the distance. His top priority now was finding Ying Weiyang.
As he walked farther ahead, the blue-faced, fanged monsters began charging at him.
Xu Mu raised his hand and used only ice to freeze them to the ground without killing them.
Suddenly, Xu Mu saw a black-robed figure in the distance wielding a golden greatsword and striking at something invisible.
The power the opponent unleashed was at least at the World-Breaking level. Golden light continued expanding until it instantly swallowed Xu Mu.
Yet it did not injure him in the slightest.
If nothing unexpected had happened, the person was currently fighting the red-faced monster.
But that person was a World-Breaking expert. He had been slashing for such a long time and still had not managed to cut the monster down.
Xu Mu roughly guessed the reason. After all, he had already experienced quite a few large-scale formations.
The red-faced monster probably increased its strength according to the cultivation of its opponent.
In other words, it was always three levels higher than the person it fought.
If that was the case, it would be disadvantageous for experts—the higher the level, the wider the gap.
If Raife, who was at the sixth tier, had encountered a ninth-tier monster earlier, his life would have been in danger.
“Hm?”
Xu Mu suddenly noticed two more people approaching the black-robed figure in the distance.
One of them was Hathaway.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
