Both Xu Mu and Chen Xuan sized up Shi Fumeng who stood before them. This woman was very beautiful.
Whether it was the JK uniform she wore or her single ponytail, she exuded an aura of youth.
Judging purely by her appearance, she looked only slightly older than Ye Yu.
"You're too polite. May I ask which sect a beauty like yourself belongs to? Why are you all alone?"
As Xu Mu spoke, he used his Eye of God to check her information.
Name: Shi Fumeng
Identity: Elder of the Valley of Ten Thousand Races, female lead of The Evil God Leaves Prison.
Affection Level: 1
Destiny Level: 7 (Max level 10)
Seeing this information, Xu Mu's expression filled with surprise. This woman was really good at pretending.
She looked so innocent, like a naive student who had yet to experience the world.
To think she was actually an elder of the Valley of Ten Thousand Races.
This sect was a temporary organization formed by various alien races.
It was a complex mix of good and bad with severe internal strife; one moment of carelessness, and you wouldn't even know how you died.
In the previous plotline, the records about the Valley of Ten Thousand Races were very accurate.
Anyone who could survive there was extremely cunning.
And the fact that this seemingly innocent beautiful girl had even reached the level of an elder was enough to prove her scheming nature.
"I come from an unknown little sect called the Imperial Sword Pavilion. I came here with our elder, but just now, in order to save me, he... he died."
At this point, Shi Fumeng wiped her eyes with her hands and began to choke back sobs.
Xu Mu observed the woman carefully. She was actually shedding real tears. What a great actress.
"Alright, stop crying. How could fighting against alien races be easy? Casualties are perfectly normal."
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Jiang Huihui walked over to comfort her.
This woman looked two or three years younger than her. To dare to come in and fight against alien races at such an age, Jiang Huihui actually admired her.
"Sister... woo woo woo!"
Hearing this, Shi Fumeng immediately leaned on Jiang Huihui's shoulder.
"Alright, since the elder who was protecting you has died, you can follow us."
Jiang Huihui said this, then looked at Xu Mu and asked, "Is that okay?"
Xu Mu smiled and said, "We are going to continue deeper. Won't it be dangerous for her to follow us?"
Saying this, he checked her filial piety value towards him.
The level was -4, making her an absolutely unfilial daughter.
He then separately checked Shi Fumeng's filial piety values towards Chen Xuan and Jiang Huihui.
He found that the woman's value for both of them was 0.
This proved one thing: the woman before him was intentionally getting close to him because she wanted to harm him.
Plus, she was a member of Wu Tian's harem; perhaps Shi Fumeng had been sent by Wu Tian to kill him.
Xu Mu shook his head slightly. The fact that this woman had managed to become an elder in the Valley of Ten Thousand Races.
Proved that she was completely different from Meng Wanyue.
Meng Wanyue could be changed by him, but a woman with as many schemes as Shi Fumeng could not be easily swayed.
It would definitely be extremely difficult for Xu Mu to pull her away from Wu Tian's side and over to his own.
"Brother Mu is right. I think it's better to let her go back. Following us will be even more dangerous for her,"
Chen Xuan said, looking at Jiang Huihui.
Xu Mu was somewhat speechless. If she continued to follow them, he would be the one in danger, not her.
"No! I won't leave. I have already memorized that alien's face, and I want to avenge my elder!"
Shi Fumeng said resolutely when she heard Xu Mu wanted her to go back.
"Then go get your revenge. Old Chen, Huihui, let's go,"
Xu Mu said to the two of them.
Seeing the three of them just walk away like that, Shi Fumeng's expression filled with astonishment.
Was this Xu Mu even a man?
He actually left a youthful and beautiful girl like her all alone here.
If he were a normal man, shouldn't he be scrambling to protect her and acting attentively in front of her?
Watching the backs of Xu Mu and the others, Shi Fumeng revealed a faint smile.
He was pretending!
Xu Mu must be putting on an act. If she guessed correctly, that woman was probably Xu Mu's secret crush.
He didn't dare to be too showy in front of her.
She understood the creature known as man all too well; they were all the same.
Thinking of this, Shi Fumeng immediately followed behind them.
She couldn't afford to lose them. If Xu Mu died, where would she go to find a Heaven-level cultivation technique?
Xu Mu walked deeper for another minute or two before stopping in his tracks.
He turned his head and asked, "Why are you following us? We aren't going to help you get revenge."
"I... I am actually quite strong. With an extra person, we'll have an extra bit of strength."
Shi Fumeng looked at Xu Mu and whispered cautiously.
"You are indeed strong."
Xu Mu looked Shi Fumeng up and down. "Your elder died, and you were chased by several people for so long. Let alone being injured, even this uniform of yours isn't dirty."
Chen Xuan also nodded secretly. "That's right, I noticed that just now too. Since you are so strong, why didn't you help your elder? And now you want to help us instead?"
Shi Fumeng's expression remained pitiful, but inwardly she was incredibly shocked.
These two men were no ordinary people; their analysis was perfectly logical.
Actually, she had thought of this point too, but she had just wanted to find this man as quickly as possible and hadn't had time to plan properly.
She had originally heard from her master that this person was very young, right at the age of being a simp.
She hadn't expected to miscalculate.
Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. For such a young man to possess a Heaven-level cultivation technique was enough to prove that he was far from simple.
"The one fighting my master was at the Grandmaster realm, while I am only at the early stage of the Divine Ability realm. I was no match for him, woo woo..."
Hearing this, Shi Fumeng crouched down, hugged her knees, and cried bitterly. "I am truly useless. I deserve to die."
"Stop criticizing her! She is still young. It's perfectly normal to be so scared that you don't dare to fight back when encountering this kind of thing for the first time."
Jiang Huihui glanced at Xu Mu and Chen Xuan, then walked towards Shi Fumeng. "Get up. You can follow us."
"Thank you, sister."
Shi Fumeng hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Xu Mu shook his head slightly. Still young? That wasn't necessarily true.
The group climbed over the hill ahead and gazed into the distance.
Chen Xuan frowned and asked, "Brother Mu, the terrain seems to have changed. It's different from what we saw at the entrance."
"It should be the defensive formation guarding the ruins activating. The area ahead should be within the formation's range."
Xu Mu stroked his chin in thought.
"Then what should we do?"
Chen Xuan asked.
"Since we are here, let's go in and explore. This time works in our favor. I imagine that besides us, many experts will also choose to go in,"
Xu Mu said with a smile.
Jiang Huihui also nodded secretly; what he said made sense.
Just as they stepped into the range of the formation, they found that the surrounding environment hadn't changed at all; it was still a mountain forest.
Right at this moment, three large trees ahead suddenly twisted, and then members of the Pierced-Chest Clan drilled out from the trees, charging towards Xu Mu and the others.
Seeing this, Xu Mu immediately raised his hand. Three dark red longswords appeared around his body.
Swish, swish, swish!
The three longswords instantly shot towards the three attackers.
The longswords transformed into red streaks of light, flashing rapidly through the air.
The three Pierced-Chest Clan members barely managed to block two or three times before they were individually pierced by the longswords, ultimately falling dead to the ground.
"Brother Mu, that was too fierce!"
Chen Xuan gave a thumbs up.
Jiang Huihui was also endlessly shocked. Why did it feel like Xu Mu was even stronger than he had been during the marriage tournament?
"Big brother! You are so amazing!"
Shi Fumeng walked up to Xu Mu, clasping her hands together in a prayer-like gesture. Her face was full of adoration, her eyes sparkling brightly.
Inwardly, however, she sneered. With an act like this, how could she not have him completely wrapped around her little finger?

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
