Xu Mu and Chen Xuan followed behind Zi Wangyou, walking deep into the mountain forest.
After crossing the mountain peak ahead, a stone tower came into view once again.
Xu Mu looked at the stone platform ahead and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, that should be the third floor, right?"
"That's right."
Zi Wangyou quickened her pace; she didn't want to waste any time here.
If those high-level cleaners came over, she wouldn't be able to leave even if she wanted to.
Arriving in front of the stone tower, Zi Wangyou entered it first.
Chen Xuan asked from the side, "Brother Mu, do you really plan to let her go?"
"Yes."
Xu Mu nodded slightly. "The figure formed by the array earlier was covered in dense patterns and was incredibly powerful. If we really fought, we would be at a huge disadvantage."
Chen Xuan exhaled. "True. I could feel the oppressive aura too. It's just a pity that we're letting this wicked woman escape!"
"As long as we get the treasures, there will be plenty of opportunities to kill her in the future."
Xu Mu said with a smile.
Chen Xuan nodded slightly and entered along with Xu Mu.
As soon as they entered, the surrounding environment changed once again. The terrain here was situated on top of a city gate tower.
Zi Wangyou led the two of them to a stone building not far away.
Liu Ge was currently lying here, and behind him were wooden boxes of various sizes.
The wooden boxes were one meter long, and half a meter in both height and width.
There looked to be a good twenty or so of them.
"Miss."
Liu Ge noticed Zi Wangyou bringing the two of them here, a look of surprise crossing his face.
"We have no choice. The high-level cleaners will be here any minute. We can only survive by handing the treasures over to them."
Zi Wangyou narrowed her eyes. "Hurry up. Take whatever you want."
Xu Mu gave Chen Xuan a look, and the two immediately laid the stacked wooden boxes flat on the ground and opened them one by one.
"Holy crap! A level-seven heavenly treasure, the Black Mountain Ginseng, and a grade-eight heavenly treasure, the Blood Chrysanthemum."
Chen Xuan looked at the contents of one of the boxes, his face filled with excitement.
It should be known that the Black Mountain Ginseng was rich in calcium and was the best heavenly treasure for breaking through to the Bone Forging realm after entering the Grandmaster realm.
The Blood Chrysanthemum's function was to strengthen the meridians, making it a necessary heavenly treasure for entering the Meridian Strengthening realm.
Xu Mu also rejoiced inwardly. He didn't need these things himself, as he could level up through experience points.
But the people around him still needed them.
He looked at Zi Wangyou and said, "You two go out first. We can't take all these things with us anyway, so I'll leave some for you."
Zi Wangyou hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly.
She and Liu Ge left the building together.
Seeing them leave, Xu Mu finally said to Chen Xuan, "Old Chen, I have a secret I've never told you."
"What secret?"
Chen Xuan asked in confusion.
Xu Mu raised his hand, revealing the ring on his finger. "Actually, this ring of mine is a legendary spatial accessory."
He had just taken this ring out of his storage space and put it on.
"What?"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan was instantly shocked. "I heard my master say that only the top array masters can touch upon spatial arrays. Probably only someone at the sect master level is qualified to possess this kind of treasure."
"Right, but I have one."
After saying that, Xu Mu completely emptied the boxes containing the grade-eight heavenly treasures and stored the contents into his storage space.
Chen Xuan smiled. This way, they could take away all the precious items here.
This time, Xu Mu directly filled his storage space to the brim, although only two of the boxes were truly valuable.
The rest were relatively ordinary heavenly treasures, but even ordinary ones were useful.
At this time, Chen Xuan also stuffed things into his woven bag until it was bulging.
Xu Mu examined the boxes. There were over twenty in total. Now that they had emptied more than a dozen, only five or six were left.
The two of them closed the boxes again, placing the empty ones at the bottom and the ones with items inside on top.
After everything was done, Xu Mu and Chen Xuan walked out together.
"Alright, we didn't take much, and we left quite a bit for you."
Xu Mu said to Zi Wangyou, "Now open the array and let us out. If they ask, I'll just say we couldn't beat you."
Zi Wangyou first glanced at Chen Xuan's woven bag. It was stuffed full, and without a doubt, it was filled with high-level treasures.
However, a woven bag could hold at most one box's worth of items, and she had a full two or three boxes of heavenly treasures grade seven and above here.
They definitely left a lot for her.
Thinking of this, Zi Wangyou squatted on the ground, and array runes emerged around her body.
This lasted for nearly thirty seconds before a circular opening appeared in front of Xu Mu and Chen Xuan.
Zi Wangyou explained, "Going out through this opening will lead you directly to the entrance of the stone tower."
"You really do know the arrays here very well."
Xu Mu gave a faint smile.
"Nonsense! Back then, this place was our home."
Zi Wangyou said coldly.
"Old Chen, let's go."
Xu Mu glanced at Chen Xuan and stepped into the opening first.
Chen Xuan followed behind.
As soon as they walked in, the two vanished from the spot.
"Miss! What should we do next?"
Liu Ge asked from the side.
"We'll take the most precious things from here, and then I'll activate the killing array inside the stone tower. I think even high-level cleaners won't be able to break through it so easily."
Zi Wangyou walked into the building. "We'll have plenty of time to come back in the future."
She first moved the boxes from the top down. Upon opening them, she found they were all grade-two and grade-three heavenly treasures.
She planned to leave these things here, and then she moved a few more boxes.
Suddenly, Zi Wangyou's expression changed drastically.
Noticing Zi Wangyou's expression, Liu Ge asked, "Miss, what's wrong?"
Zi Wangyou's face darkened. "Empty!"
She threw the box directly onto the ground. The weight was completely wrong. She picked up the other boxes, and they were all empty.
"Damn it!"
Zi Wangyou smashed all the remaining boxes, only to find that the heavenly treasures she had spent seven or eight years accumulating were gone, leaving only trash below grade three.
"Miss! This has nothing to do with me. I've never touched them."
Seeing this, Liu Ge immediately knelt on the ground.
After all, they had only filled one woven bag just now, yet so many things had vanished into thin air. He was afraid Zi Wangyou would suspect him.
Zi Wangyou stared at Liu Ge, hesitating for a long time before saying, "It has nothing to do with you. If I'm not mistaken, one of those two has a spatial accessory."
Hearing this, Liu Ge finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"These remaining pieces of trash aren't worth keeping. We're leaving right now."
Zi Wangyou's mouth twitched. That bastard, she absolutely could not let him off.
She had one merit: she exacted her revenge on the spot and never played the game of a gentleman can wait ten years for his revenge.
...
Xu Mu and Chen Xuan had already arrived at the exit of the tall tower. From afar, they saw Meng Wanyue still waiting there.
"Brother Mu!"
Seeing Xu Mu return safely, Meng Wanyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
