Must Catch Xu Mu

It wasn't just Han Tianqing; even Zhou Xia felt the same way.

As disciples of a Sect, they had never seen such a cultivation technique before.

Swish!

Suddenly, one of the dark red longswords pierced Wang Huxing's waist from behind.

He stumbled, losing his center of gravity, and nearly fell to the ground.

In that split second of vulnerability, the remaining three longswords stabbed into his body, nailing him firmly to the floor.

Fresh blood filled the cracks in the floorboards.

"So what if you're a Grandmaster?"

Xu Mu stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his expression as calm as still water.

Wang Huxing's face was pale. He couldn't believe it. Just who exactly was this Xu Mu before him?

The technique he had just displayed was at least Earth Rank.

"Hahaha! Bro, I didn't know she was my sister-in-law. I apologize for the offense earlier."

Seeing the scene unfold, Wu Qi nodded at Xu Mu. "I'll be leaving now."

As he spoke, he walked past Xu Mu's back, raising his hand to pat Xu Mu on the shoulder.

But suddenly, a powerful blast of Astral Qi surged out, slamming into his entire body. Wu Qi was sent flying backward.

With a loud boom, he smashed a large hole through the living room wall, his body tumbling into the bedroom.

"You brat! What are you doing?"

Wu Qi spat blood from his mouth, his crimson eyes filled with ferocity.

"What am I doing? The question should be, what were you trying to do?"

Xu Mu turned around and looked through the hole at Wu Qi inside. "Trash like you who plays with bugs... you were preparing to plant a Gu hex on me just now, weren't you?"

Wu Qi's expression changed; he had actually guessed it.

Xu Mu raised his hand, and the four longswords piercing Wang Huxing flew up, continuing their assault toward Wu Qi.

Wu Qi was only at the Divine Ability realm; he couldn't block these four longswords at all.

The swords easily pierced through his body, nailing him to the floor just like his companion.

Just then, Xu Mu sensed a fluctuation of Qi. Expanding his perception, he realized Chen Xuan had arrived.

"Old Chen!"

Xu Mu shouted toward the outside.

Hearing the voice, Chen Xuan immediately jogged over.

Looking at the messy living room, he laughed and said, "Brother Mu, so it was you. I sensed a battle here from far away and thought they were fighting among themselves."

"I came to give the girls a hand this time."

As Xu Mu spoke, he looked at Zhou Xia and Han Tianqing. "You two, go to our place and hide for a bit."

"Okay..."

Zhou Xia was still in a state of shock.

It seemed her judgment was spot on. From the first moment she saw Xu Mu, she knew this man was fierce.

Now, it appeared she was absolutely right.

To be able to suppress a Grandmaster realm expert at such a young age... even in a powerful Sect, this would be considered genius-level talent.

However, Zhou Xia was also well aware that in this lifetime, she wasn't qualified to cultivate alongside such a man.

But Han Tianqing might have a fair number of chances.

After watching them leave, Xu Mu immediately messaged Jiang Huihui, informing her of the situation.

Suddenly, Xu Mu's expression changed, and he flashed into the bedroom.

"What did you just do?"

Xu Mu questioned sternly, "You seem to have dispersed a portion of the Gu from your body."

"You really are impressive; you even know the whereabouts of my Gu."

Wu Qi shook his head slightly. "Anyway, I intended to tell you. You'd better release me right now, otherwise, you will face endless pursuit and assassination."

"I see. It's because of the Gu you just released, right?"

Xu Mu narrowed his eyes.

"That's right. We Gu cultivators use our own power to bind our Gu insects. As long as we disperse that power, the Gu will seek out the mother host."

The corner of Wu Qi's mouth curled up. "In other words, the Gu from my body will transmit what happened here to my father."

"Can something like a Gu insect actually transmit information?"

Chen Xuan opened the door and entered the bedroom, asking curiously.

"Of course they can. Although Gu insects cannot speak, they can remember the formation they are arranged in when they see the mother host."

As Wu Qi spoke, a black substance began to spread out in front of him again.

These black specks gradually combined to form two characters: "Xu Mu (written as 'Wood')."

After all, he didn't know Xu Mu personally, nor did he know exactly which characters were used for his name.

Then, they formed a line of small text: "I was caught by him. Kill his whole family."

"Now you understand, right? As long as you let me go, we can let this matter drop."

Wu Qi sneered at Xu Mu. "Otherwise, you will suffer the wrath of our Jiuli Tribe."

Xu Mu used his God's Eye to check the man's identity first.

Name: Wu Qi

Identity: Son of the Chief, 7th Tribe, Jiuli Tribe

Affinity: -20

Destiny Level: 2 (out of 10)

Seeing this, Xu Mu nodded inwardly. He was indeed someone of status; no wonder he dared to threaten him like that.

However, Xu Mu certainly wasn't going to let him go.

If he let him go, the retaliation would only be more severe. He knew that much.

"What a pity. My name isn't actually Xu Mu (written as 'Wood'). Your people won't be able to catch me."

Xu Mu revealed a faint smile.

...

Xu Mu and Chen Xuan waited there for about ten minutes.

Jiang Huihui arrived in a taxi.

She was still wearing casual clothes today, her long black hair scattered loosely, chewing gum in her mouth.

When she entered the living room and saw the people lying on the ground, she was incredibly excited.

"So many? You're saying these are all people from the Yin Yang Sect?"

Jiang Huihui immediately took out her phone to call other team members over.

"No! There's also one from the Jiuli Tribe."

Xu Mu explained with a smile.

"Good heavens!"

Jiang Huihui took some gum from her pocket and handed pieces to Xu Mu and Chen Xuan. "I won't hog the credit this time; I'll say it was a joint effort by the three of us."

About ten minutes later, two transport vehicles appeared outside. The people on board were all dressed in sanitation worker uniforms.

When Wang Huxing and Wu Qi saw the cleaners, their faces instantly turned deathly pale.

If they were taken to any other place, there might still be a chance of rescue. But being imprisoned in the Cleaners' dungeon meant there was almost no possibility of ever getting out.

After Jiang Huihui bid farewell to Xu Mu and Chen Xuan, she left with the convoy.

Xu Mu and Chen Xuan walked together toward Chen Xuan's home.

"By the way, Brother Mu, did that Ji Xun call you back?"

Chen Xuan asked suddenly.

"Not yet. It's been a while, so logically, her grandfather should have called her by now."

Xu Mu took out his phone. "How about I call and ask?"

"Alright."

Chen Xuan nodded.

Xu Mu dialed Ji Xun's number. Seeing that she picked up, he put it on speaker. "This is Xu Mu. I wanted to ask, did your grandfather return your call?"

"This..."

Ji Xun stammered on the other end before taking a deep breath. "I'll be straight with you. My grandfather does not agree to break the engagement."

"What? He doesn't agree?"

Chen Xuan frowned. "What's going on?"

"I don't know either. I'm preparing to go home and argue it out with him. I'll call you back when I have news."

After Ji Xun finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

"Sigh! Breaking an engagement is actually this troublesome."

Chen Xuan sighed.

"It will be broken eventually."

Xu Mu said with a smile, and they continued to Chen Xuan's house.

Zhou Xia and Han Tianqing were sitting nervously on the sofa. They hadn't expected Xu Mu to be so strong.

With a man like that, if they used Dual Cultivation techniques, Han Tianqing's strength would also advance by leaps and bounds.

As soon as Zhou Xia saw Xu Mu walk in, she immediately nudged Han Tianqing with her elbow and shot her a meaningful glance, signaling that she absolutely had to snag Xu Mu.
