After receiving Xu Mu's message, Chen Xuan immediately replied, saying he'd be right there.
Xu Mu was also waiting in his car by the roadside outside the villa district.
About ten minutes later, Chen Xuan arrived riding a scooter.
On the footboard in front of him was his urea woven bag.
Xu Mu got out of the car and said with a smile, "Shall we set off now?"
"Taking advantage of the morning, we can finish early and come back early."
Chen Xuan nodded.
"Then let's go."
Xu Mu got back in the car, picked up Chen Xuan, and they headed together for Reckless Mountain in Jiangnan.
Along the way.
Chen Xuan looked at Xu Mu and asked, "Brother Mu, what do you think she went to Reckless Mountain for?"
"I guess she's looking for treasure. If you were Fang Kui, what would you do to get back what belongs to you?"
Xu Mu glanced at Chen Xuan, his eyes returning to the road ahead.
"If I were Fang Kui, I'd try to become part of Brother Mu's harem. Once I'm your woman, you'd naturally help me."
Chen Xuan said without hesitation.
"You're such a genius."
Xu Mu rolled his eyes. "Stop talking nonsense. Fang Kui would definitely choose to become stronger herself."
"That's possible too. I heard from my master about Reckless Mountain. It's considered a somewhat shady exchange, but it does have quite a few treasures."
Chen Xuan pondered, then propped his cheek with his hand and looked out the window.
It seems Fang Kui doesn't want to rely on anyone, only wanting to reclaim what's hers through her own efforts.
...
Several hours later, Xu Mu arrived at a county town near Reckless Mountain.
After parking the car here, he led Chen Xuan up the mountain via a shortcut.
"Brother Mu, have you been here before?"
Chen Xuan looked at Xu Mu curiously.
"I came once before."
Xu Mu nodded.
Suddenly, four figures appeared within Xu Mu's perception.
They were all dressed in black robes, at the very edge of his perception range, and slipped out of it within a second or two.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Xuan noticed Xu Mu had stopped.
"It's nothing."
Xu Mu shook his head. Encountering people in black robes here was normal, as most were likely there for trading.
They successfully arrived at the hotel on Reckless Mountain, and Xu Mu and Chen Xuan walked in together.
Inside the hotel, Xu Mu first used his perception to scan the accommodation area but didn't find any trace of Fang Kui.
So, he and Chen Xuan entered the interior of the ruins.
As soon as they entered the ruins, both Xu Mu and Chen Xuan looked towards the depths in disbelief.
The surrounding ground was cracked, a nearby barbecue shop had collapsed, and many people were lying on the ground, moaning in pain.
However, Xu Mu noticed they had no visible wounds. If nothing was amiss, they were likely injured by the shockwaves from a Grandmaster-level expert.
Not only that, continuous rumbling sounds could be heard from deep within.
"Is someone trying to rob Reckless Mountain's treasures?"
Chen Xuan said, looking into the distance.
"Let's go, we should take a look."
Xu Mu thought it was a good chance to see what abilities this Tantai Quan actually possessed.
In his view, an organization with Reckless Mountain's practices was bound to make enemies.
However, their survival until now suggested they had means to deal with such situations.
When the two reached the depths, Xu Mu saw that the attackers were precisely the four black-robed figures from his earlier perception.
"Brother Mu, look! It's an array formation!"
Chen Xuan pointed towards the distant exchange building.
Xu Mu also stared at the villa-like structure over there. Two Grandmaster-level experts were continuously attacking the exchange.
But in front of the exchange, there seemed to be an invisible barrier.
Whenever an attack landed, that area would become densely covered with magical symbols.
As the attack dissipated, the symbols would also disappear.
Xu Mu was full of astonishment. He was already an intermediate-level array master, yet he couldn't decipher this formation.
This proved the defensive array before them was at least level seven.
At the same time.
From the building at the very depths, an old man with liver spots all over his face walked out.
He wore a suit and was slightly hunched.
He approached the four black-robed figures, and a hoarse voice came through, "Who are you? Why are you attacking our Reckless Mountain?"
"You insignificant Reckless Mountain, how dare you seize our treasures? You're looking for death!"
One of the black-robed figures sounded very young. "Today, I'll make you spit out everything!"
"Our Reckless Mountain never does such things. It's just that some people, after seizing treasures, voluntarily sell them to us. We have no way of knowing how they obtained their goods."
The old man said calmly, "Please leave. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"What are you? Impolite to me? Do you know who I am?"
The black-robed youth growled.
Just then, from the entrance of the exchange, Tantai Quan walked over with graceful steps, holding a slender jade tobacco pipe.
Even from this distance, Xu Mu could see the tremor of her ample bosom as she walked.
She stopped at the position of the array barrier and said with a smile, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be the grandson of the Punishment Department head of the Eternal Life Research Institute, right?"
"Heh! Tantai Quan, I'm glad you still remember me."
The leading youth took off his black robe hood, revealing a man with a crew cut.
However, his ears were almost entirely covered in earrings.
On his left eyebrow, there was also a black eyebrow piercing.
"Brother Mu, that woman is really beautiful."
Chen Xuan, hiding nearby, pointed in Tantai Quan's direction.
"What? Taken a fancy to her?"
Xu Mu smiled and glanced at Chen Xuan.
What he said was indeed true; this woman seemed to possess a natural, alluring charm.
"I have my senior sister. I think Brother Mu should step up your efforts and add her to your harem."
Chen Xuan said with a laugh. "Better to benefit yourself than let someone else have her."
"I don't like women who smoke."
Xu Mu waved his hand.
"But she's smoking a pipe."
"Alright, shut up!"
...
"Jia Feng, someone as brash as you, who announces their identity to everyone they meet, I doubt anyone would dare rob you, right?"
Tantai Quan said indifferently.
"Hahaha! You found me out. But I'm here for something more important this time."
Jia Feng laughed a few times first, then his expression turned sinister. "Last time, right after I left this place, I was captured by the Cleaners. Did you rats inform on me?"
"Our Reckless Mountain would never do such a thing."
Tantai Quan's expression remained calm.
"It was you!"
Jia Feng turned to look at the suited old man. "Hand Tantai Quan over to me, and I'll let this matter slide. Otherwise, I'll wipe out your Reckless Mountain!"
At that moment, two more people walked out from the exchange entrance.
One was dressed in a black robe, while the other was precisely Fang Kui from Kunlun Mountain.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan immediately stood up and ran towards them.
"What the hell!"
Xu Mu didn't even have time to stop him. Going over now was just asking for trouble.
However, since Chen Xuan had already gone, Xu Mu could only follow.
Fang Kui walked to Tantai Quan's side and said softly, "If we help you, will you agree to the deal we discussed earlier?"
"Little sister is trying to take advantage of the situation, aren't you?"
Tantai Quan smiled and raised her tobacco pipe. Suddenly, she noticed more people approaching.
When she recognized Xu Mu, her smile deepened.
