Seeing this, Dai Xingluo immediately drew her long sword.
But Xu Mu reached out to stop her, looking calmly at the bald man. "Why are you arresting us?"
"I'm here to capture a traitor from our sect!"
The old man said indifferently.
"Oh, that has nothing to do with me. I'm leaving."
After speaking, Xu Mu turned to go.
"Brother!"
Dai Xingluo shot a glare at Xu Mu.
"Haha, just kidding."
Xu Mu turned back again, looking at the bald man. "A traitor? Then tell me, what did Dai Xingluo do?"
"This matter is not for an outsider like you to interfere with! Take action, seize them all!"
The bald man coldly shouted.
Xu Mu thought for a moment, then looked at Dai Xingluo and asked, "Who is this old man?"
"Cai He, the Fourth Elder of Green Wood Mountain."
Dai Xingluo explained in a low voice.
"So it really is an elder from Green Wood Mountain."
Xu Mu pondered briefly, then said to Dai Xingluo, "Don't be afraid. I'm here for everything. Let's go together."
He was considering the cards he held. First was the Fire Phoenix Sword.
As long as he had this in hand, they definitely wouldn't dare attack him.
Secondly, there was the matter of the Green Wood Mountain's Grand Elder conspiring with the Eternal Life Research Institute to act against the Grand Elder of Blazing Sun Mountain.
He believed that Blazing Sun Mountain would also protect him.
【Favorability +10】
Dai Xingluo's face was full of emotion. She knew that Xu Mu might be strong, but as a young man, he surely couldn't compare to a sect elder.
Yet he dared to enter a dangerous place for her sake.
Dai Xingluo had long wanted to leave the Heavenly Sword Sect but never had the chance.
She knew very well that once she came here, Zhao Gang would never let her leave.
But with Xu Mu by her side, she felt incredibly at ease.
"Fourth Elder, no need for you to seize us. We'll go on our own."
Dai Xingluo sheathed her sword again, saying with a calm expression.
"Then let's go!"
Cai He stood with his hands behind his back, turned around, and walked towards the depths of the ruins.
Xu Mu and Dai Xingluo followed behind them.
Along the way, Xu Mu observed the surroundings and noticed that most of the trees within the ruins had been cut down.
The buildings were all situated on the mountain. Near the entrance of the ruins, most structures were made of wood.
Most likely, these were the dwellings of the outer disciples.
As they went deeper into the ruins, Xu Mu saw three mountain peaks in the distance, arranged in a line.
Dai Xingluo said beside him, "The one on the far left is Blazing Sun Mountain, the middle one is Icy Soul Mountain, and the far right is Green Wood Mountain."
Xu Mu looked around, then asked, "Where is the Sect Leader's place?"
"The Sect Leader's palace is behind these three peaks," Dai Xingluo explained.
Xu Mu nodded lightly. The closer they got to the depths, the more disciples appeared around them.
He used his perception to survey the area.
Some were sparring, others were courting; it felt quite similar to a school.
Finally, under Cai He's lead, Xu Mu and the others arrived at the foot of Green Wood Mountain.
He was surprised to find a parking shed there, filled with dozens of motorcycles.
Most were luxury brands like Ducati and Harley-Davidson.
The sight of Cai He, this elder in traditional robes, actively mounting a Ducati felt somewhat incongruous.
He gave orders to the several people around him, "Take them up."
"No need, I can ride a motorcycle."
Xu Mu proactively got on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle and looked at Dai Xingluo beside him. "Get on!"
Dai Xingluo gently pressed down the skirt of her hanfu. "Brother, I'm wearing a dress."
The many men witnessing this scene all cursed inwardly.
Such a fine woman like Dai Xingluo had actually been taken by this man.
"Then sit sidesaddle."
Xu Mu said with a smile.
"Alright."
Dai Xingluo nodded, then sat sidesaddle on the back, holding her long sword in one hand and wrapping her other arm around Xu Mu's waist.
"Let's go!"
Cai He twisted the throttle and rode along the road leading up the mountain.
Following behind Cai He, Xu Mu couldn't help but remark, "Your sect is quite modernized."
"It's all to save effort. Mainly, our entrance is too small, otherwise they'd definitely buy cars."
Dai Xingluo said from behind.
"Xingluo, remember this."
Xu Mu slightly slowed down and said in a low voice, "If they try to force a move against us, remember to use the Fire Phoenix Sword."
"I know."
Dai Xingluo wasn't stupid to begin with. This was an Earth-grade technique. Once she used it, these people definitely wouldn't lay a hand on them.
"If they ask, just say I gave you the technique. Leave the rest to me."
After speaking, Xu Mu increased the throttle.
【Favorability +10】
Dai Xingluo truly never expected her luck to be this good, to meet someone like Xu Mu.
They reached the mountaintop.
In the distance stood a massive palace built of stone.
In front of the palace stood an old man dressed in black robes.
This elder had long white hair, and his eyes bore some resemblance to Zhao Gang's. A scar under his right eye gave off an immense sense of pressure.
Beside the elder was Zhao Gang, his upper body wrapped in bandages, sitting in a wheelchair.
Behind Zhao Gang was a plump woman, roughly thirty years old.
Seeing this elder, Dai Xingluo also looked tense. "Brother, he is Zhao Yide, the Grand Elder of Green Wood Mountain."
"Grand Elder, the people have been brought."
Cai He addressed Zhao Yide in the distance.
"Xu Mu, I never thought I'd see you here!"
Zhao Gang laughed loudly. "Guards! Seize this trash from the Demon Sword Sect!"
"Stop!"
Dai Xingluo stepped in front of Xu Mu. "Grand Elder, I came here to withdraw from the sect."
"Withdraw from the sect? You, a traitor, still want to leave our sect? Dream on!"
Zhao Yide said coldly.
"Traitor? What did I do? Did I leak the two measly techniques the sect taught me?"
Dai Xingluo said with displeasure.
"Then let me tell you what you did. Marrying this man from the Demon Sword Sect makes you a traitor!"
Zhao Yide snorted coldly. "Guards, seize them!"
“Haha, on what grounds do you conclude that I'm from the Demon Sword Sect?”
Xu Mu said with a light laugh. "Is it simply because of the Phantom Sword?"
"That's right, precisely because of the Phantom Sword!"
Zhao Gang certainly couldn't say it was because Xu Mu stole the woman he liked.
Nor would he say it was Xu Mu's good friend who severely injured him.
Now that this kid was on his turf, he also wanted Xu Mu to taste the Spring Night Grass.
However, he wouldn't find a woman for Xu Mu; he planned to find him an ox or a goat.
"I demand to see your Sect Leader. I will personally tell him exactly who I am!"
Xu Mu said calmly, his hands in his pockets.
"What are you? Our Sect Leader is not someone a person like you can see whenever you wish. Take action!"
Zhao Yide waved his hand forcefully.
The surrounding people immediately closed in.
Dai Xingluo quickly drew her sword. "Brother, what do we do?"
She hadn't expected things to escalate to this point either.

Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love.

g Yu was preparing for retirement when her organization decided to eliminate her. She transmigrated to a zombie apocalypse world. However, a tiny unexpected situation occurred: She somehow transformed into an adorable little girl?!
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. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. 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.”
