Xu Mu and Yong Tan returned to the area.
“I’ve already made the arrangements. We’ll head over now and rescue your people.”
Xu Mu smiled at Bai Shanh u.
Bai Shanh u still found it somewhat unbelievable. She couldn’t understand why Xu Mu was willing to help her.
However, her mission this time was to rescue her companions. She didn’t care what happened in the process.
“Let’s leave now.”
Bai Shanh u looked at the old man beside her. “Go bring our people here.”
“Understood!”
The second-tier old man headed into the distant mountain forest to bring over their injured companions.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yong Tan went to where their fallen companion lay, buried him, and removed his spatial ring.
The second-tier old man from the White Tiger Clan clasped his hands together. A massive phantom White Tiger appeared around his body.
Bai Shanh u was the first to leap onto the White Tiger. She turned back to Xu Mu and Chen Xuan and said, “You two, get on as well.”
Xu Mu and Chen Xuan nodded and jumped onto the White Tiger.
“It’s surprisingly soft.”
Xu Mu’s feet sank into the qi beneath him. It felt almost like a swamp.
“Let’s go!”
The old man from the White Tiger Clan suddenly released his qi. The phantom White Tiger surrounding his body sprouted a pair of wings and carried them into the sky.
“I didn’t know you had a move like this.”
Chen Xuan was full of admiration as well.
“Of course. We normally never ride flying vehicles. The reason we followed this time was because we spotted Yong Tan and wanted to capture her in an uninhabited area.”
Bai Shanh u made no attempt to hide anything.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged man from the Netherworld Clan grabbed Yong Tan by the shoulder and flew alongside them.
Xu Mu said to Yong Tan, “You two can come up as well.”
“No! They can fly, so why do you have to bring them along?”
Bai Shanh u shot Yong Tan a cold glance.
“Just bring her along this once. All of you are seriously injured. I’ll treat you.”
As he spoke, Xu Mu took out his healing pills.
Upon hearing this, Yong Tan signaled the middle-aged man carrying her to land on the White Tiger’s back.
“That’s just an excuse. Didn’t she force you to bring her?”
Bai Shanh u let out a cold snort.
“I’m not bringing her.”
Xu Mu grinned.
Chen Xuan didn’t understand at first, but then he realized what Xu Mu meant and sighed. “What kind of shameless nonsense is that?”
Yong Tan was still confused. When had she ever forced Xu Mu to do anything?
But after hearing Chen Xuan’s words, she understood and immediately snapped, “Shameless!”
“I knew you liked her. Men are all the same. The moment they see a beautiful woman, they lose the ability to walk—and even their brains.”
Bai Shanh u had initially felt quite favorable toward Xu Mu.
But when she saw how concerned he was about Yong Tan, she immediately began to feel uncomfortable.
“I have my own plans.”
Xu Mu smiled and handed Bai Shanh u a pill. “Eat this.”
Bai Shanh u smelled it first before swallowing it in one gulp. The moment it entered her mouth, a powerful medicinal effect flowed through her meridians and toward her wounds.
The stabbing pain in her abdomen instantly turned warm and soothing.
[Affection +10]
Bai Shanh u’s face was filled with disbelief. “Does this healing pill contain a ninth-grade heavenly treasure?”
“Heh. Otherwise, why would I say I could treat you?”
As he spoke, Xu Mu tossed another pill to Yong Tan.
After hearing Bai Shanh u’s words, Yong Tan swallowed it without a second thought.
As expected, its powerful medicinal effects immediately filled her entire body. She untied the bandages casually wrapped around her waist and discovered that the deep wounds there were clotting and stopping their bleeding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
[Affection +5]
She hadn’t expected Xu Mu to casually give away such a precious pill.
“Senior, here’s another one for you.”
Xu Mu handed a pill to the second-tier old man sitting on the White Tiger’s back.
“Thank you.”
The old man had originally thought Xu Mu had brought out such precious pills merely to show off in front of the two beautiful women. He hadn’t expected to receive one himself.
The instant he swallowed it, his eyes widened in disbelief. Such powerful medicinal effects truly could only come from a ninth-grade heavenly treasure.
His face had been pale moments ago, but within only a few minutes, it had regained a healthy flush.
The middle-aged man from the Netherworld Clan grew wary. The White Tiger Clan now had two second-tier experts on their side.
Seeing this, gratitude appeared on Bai Shanh u’s face once again. “Thank you. The hundred jin of spirit stones I just gave you wouldn’t even be enough to buy the leftovers from these two pills.”
[Affection +10]
“You’re welcome. We’re all on the same side.”
Xu Mu waved his hand indifferently.
…
By the time dawn had just begun to break, everyone arrived at Black Sheep City.
This was where the Netherworld Clan’s branch was located. Compared to the city they had visited earlier, this one was much livelier.
Even at this hour, vendors selling vegetables and meat could already be seen along the streets.
After entering the city, Xu Mu looked at Yong Tan. “Can you bring the White Tiger Clan’s people out unharmed? If you can’t, I can take action.”
“No need. I think I can do it, but I have one request. I want to bring three people with me.”
Yong Tan explained, “One is my friend, one is my friend’s father, and the other is my mother.”
“Who among them has the highest cultivation?”
Xu Mu asked.
“Seventh-stage Boundary Breaker—my friend’s father,” Yong Tan replied. “He’s the second-most powerful figure here, surpassed only by my father.”
“That’s interesting. You’re not bringing your father?”
Xu Mu couldn’t help laughing.
“If my father finds out, he’ll definitely bring along the children born to his principal wife.”
Yong Tan shrugged. “He’s still trying to curry favor with her maternal grandfather.”
“Go ahead. We’ll wait for you at that teahouse.”
Xu Mu pointed to a shop nearby.
Yong Tan nodded and left.
Chen Xuan asked from the side, “Brother Mu, what’s your purpose in bringing them along?”
“If nothing unexpected happens, the Black Moon Clan will have an ambush waiting over there. If we go together with the Netherworld Clan, who do you think they’ll hold a grudge against?”
Xu Mu grinned. “The Netherworld Clan will serve as our shield.”
“Brilliant!”
Chen Xuan gave him a thumbs-up.
Xu Mu and the others put on black robes to disguise their identities and sat by the window of the teahouse.
It was still early morning, and there weren’t many people around.
Bai Shanh u had many questions in her heart. She asked softly, “Xu Mu, what kind of deal did you make with her? Will she really obediently release the prisoners?”
“Let’s see whether she can bring them out safely. If she delivers them here, I’ll explain everything to you.”
Xu Mu was rather conflicted about whether or not to bring Bai Shanh u along.
After all, she was a female protagonist who could provide him with Fate Energy.
Even though they had only just met, Xu Mu could already tell that she wasn’t a very scheming person.
Once she decided that someone was trustworthy, she would probably continue providing him with Affection.
Bai Shanh u nodded firmly. Xu Mu truly was a good person. They had only just met, yet he was already willing to help her like this.
[Affection +10]
The group waited there for roughly an hour before Xu Mu sensed Yong Tan and the others returning.
There were six members of the White Tiger Clan beside her.
In addition, there were three members of the Netherworld Clan.
One was a middle-aged man who appeared to be her friend’s father.
Another was a beautiful mature woman who was presumably Yong Tan’s mother.
There was also a young woman who had… a very distinctive look.
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow.

In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
