Chen Xuan's Plan

Everyone present who heard that name looked toward Xu Mu, who was sitting nearby, almost at the exact same time.

Tong Guoguo then asked curiously, “What’s the good news?”

“You all came from the outside world, and Xu Mu is from the outside world too, so you must be on the same side, right?”

Mo Xue smiled as she stuffed a handful of shrimp crackers into her mouth. “For now, our Black Moon Clan has lowered the bounty on Xu Mu. It’s back to being one divine medicine.”

“You mean it’s no longer a Heaven-grade cultivation technique?”

Meng Wanyue revealed a faint smile when she heard that.

“That’s right. I’ve mainly been staying here recently and haven’t gone back, so I’m not sure why.” Mo Xue shook her head slightly. “Maybe after careful consideration, they decided Xu Mu wasn’t worth a Heaven-grade cultivation technique after all.”

Hearing this, Xu Mu smiled and took off his hat. “That’s a relief. For one divine medicine, those big shots definitely wouldn’t bother making a move.”

When Mo Xue saw Xu Mu’s face, her eyes widened. “Xu Mu!”

“That’s right! I don’t think you’d attack me just for a divine medicine, would you?”

After revealing his appearance, Xu Mu discovered that Mo Xue’s filial piety score toward him had not dropped into the negatives.

Earlier, he had checked Mo Xue’s filial piety scores toward Meng Wanyue and Tong Guoguo. Both were positive, which clearly meant she had not deliberately approached them for some ulterior purpose.

“I won’t. I know my limits. At my third stage, how could I possibly be your match? Even Zidian couldn’t take you down.”

Mo Xue shook her head repeatedly.

“That’s a relief,” Xu Mu said with a smile.

If he wasn’t mistaken, Zilan Yin must have helped with this matter.

“I really didn’t expect you to know Xu Mu. No wonder you kept asking me about him.” Mo Xue chuckled several times. “I never would have guessed.”

“Don’t tell me you regret it now? Even at this moment, Xu Mu is still an enemy of your Black Moon Clan.”

Tong Guoguo looked at Mo Xue as she asked the question.

“No. There are too many factions within the Black Moon Clan. As long as someone has the status of an elder, they can issue a bounty.” Mo Xue stuffed another handful of shrimp crackers into her mouth. “But if someone offends our entire Black Moon Clan, there’s no need for a bounty. We’ll simply send experts to kill them.”

“Speaking of that, I recently heard that your Black Moon Clan seems to have clashed with the Netherworld Clan.”

Xu Mu was asking for information in a roundabout way.

“That’s right. The Netherworld Clan found one of the Battlefields of Gods we were guarding and killed quite a few of our people. They aren’t the only ones, either. The Radiant Clan recently found one of our Battlefields of Gods as well.”

Mo Xue shook her head slightly. “Something about this feels strange. It feels as though we’re being deliberately targeted.”

Xu Mu smiled. They were being targeted—by him.

“Not many people knew about these two Battlefields of Gods. The higher-ups are investigating, and it’s possible that we have a traitor.” Mo Xue continued speaking.

Xu Mu was somewhat surprised. Had Zidian been investigated?

Was that why his bounty had been removed? The bounty offering a Heaven-grade cultivation technique had appeared only after he dealt with Zidian.

“Perhaps,” Xu Mu said softly.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading back. I only came here to tell you about Xu Mu. I didn’t expect him to be here.”

Mo Xue stood up from the sofa, hugging her large bag of snacks.

“Thank you.”

Meng Wanyue still expressed her gratitude to Mo Xue and saw her out.

Only after Mo Xue had gone some distance away did Chen Xuan ask, “Brother Mu, she won’t tell the Black Moon Clan that you’re here, will she?”

“I don’t know. I’m not familiar enough with her to know what kind of person she is, but I don’t think she will.”

Xu Mu shook his head. At least, based on her filial piety score, there seemed to be no problem.

“I’m not sure either, but she’s extremely easygoing. She probably won’t get involved in something like this.” Tong Guoguo thought for a moment before continuing, “She’s told us a lot of secrets over the past few days. But she’s a real blabbermouth. If someone asks her directly, she might actually tell them.”

“What kind of secrets? Anything about the Great Wilderness Clan?”

Chen Xuan immediately became eager when he heard this.

He had known from the beginning that his senior sister was probably in the inner world. It seemed that she was deliberately avoiding him and didn’t want to see him.

His senior sister had treated him so well when they were children, and he had never done anything to anger her. Why, then, was she deliberately refusing to meet him?

He had also guessed that his senior sister must have run into some kind of trouble and didn’t dare meet him.

He should have realized much earlier that his senior sister was a member of the Great Wilderness Clan.

“The Great Wilderness Clan? She really did mention something a few days ago.”

Tong Guoguo looked at Chen Xuan. “Apparently, a group of Great Wilderness Clan members has been trapped and placed under the control of the allied forces inside an ancient ruin. I heard that one of the Great Wilderness Clan’s core figures is inside.”

“What?”

Chen Xuan began thinking the moment he heard this. “Perhaps that’s why my senior sister suddenly made her move.”

“Your senior sister?”

Fu Jinyu cast a glance at Chen Xuan.

“You’re all my sisters-in-law, so I won’t hide this from you. The Great Wilderness Clan woman in that video just now is my senior sister!”

Xu Mu spoke with a serious expression.

The women around him all looked awkward.

They weren’t uncomfortable because that woman was Chen Xuan’s senior sister. It was because Chen Xuan had called all of them his sisters-in-law.

The key was that he had said it so seriously that none of them knew how to refute him.

“Brother Mu, I hope you won’t stop me from doing what I’m about to do.”

Chen Xuan’s expression gradually grew solemn.

Xu Mu smiled. “You want to rescue those Great Wilderness Clan members who are trapped?”

“That’s right. If I do this, I’ll inevitably become enemies with every race in the inner world. I won’t drag you into this. I’ll go alone this time and find a way to handle it myself.”

Chen Xuan’s expression was calm. “I told you a long time ago that my senior sister is the last family I have left in this world. Whatever happens to her is my business.”

“Old Chen, it sounds like you’re insulting me. Weren’t you with me the entire time when I provoked all those powerful figures before? How could I stand by and do nothing when you’re in trouble this time?”

Xu Mu spread his hands with a smile. “Besides, we’re people from the outside world. We were never on the same side as the inner world to begin with.”

Half of Xu Mu’s bloodline came from the Great Wilderness Clan. From what Xu Shou had said, it was obvious that he had truly loved that woman.

By helping the Great Wilderness Clan, Xu Mu would be helping the mother he had never met. Naturally, he would also be helping Xu Shou.

“Brother Mu…”

Chen Xuan’s face was filled with emotion. “I only regret that I’m not a woman.”

“Big brother!”

Just then, Dai Xingluo opened the villa’s door. When she saw Xu Mu sitting on the sofa, she leaped toward him and crashed into him.

[Affection +20]

Xu Mu felt as if he had been hit by a woman charging into him with a ball. Although he quite liked that foul play, there were too many people around, so he could only push Dai Xingluo away.

“Xingluo, you came at just the right time.”

Xu Mu rubbed his nose. “I brought some treasures for you again.”

He took out some pills. “Here are twenty. Take one every other day. These pills are still useful at the Transcendent level.”

[Affection +20]

Dai Xingluo immediately kissed Xu Mu on the cheek. “Thank you, Big Brother.”

Fu Jinyu’s eyes narrowed slightly when she saw this.

Meng Wanyue, meanwhile, quickly walked over and pulled Dai Xingluo away. “There are so many people here. Have you no shame?”

“Wanyue, and yours as well. These pills all contain either ninth-grade ingredients or divine medicine, which can help you reach the Perfection stage of the Transcendent Realm as soon as possible. I’ve already prepared your Great Tonic Pills.”

Xu Mu smiled and handed Meng Wanyue twenty pills. “Once you break through into the World-Breaking Realm, our little group will rise to another level.”

“Thank you, Brother Mu.”

Meng Wanyue nodded firmly. “I won’t let you down.”

“Guoguo, this time I’ve brought something good for you. Of course, to be precise, it’s for all three of you.”

As Xu Mu spoke, he took out a cervical vertebra.
