Xu Mu's gaze swept across the surrounding guards. All of you, come inside with me and tell me where the rare treasures are. Otherwise, you'll end up just like him.
Kid! Do you know what organization we belong to? We are the Immortality Research Institute. How dare you rob us...
Swish!
Before the bald middle-aged man next to him could finish speaking, a straight red line appeared across his neck.
Pfft!
The next moment, blood sprayed out from the red line.
Xu Mu looked calmly at the remaining people present. Who else?
The rest of the guards didn't dare to meet Xu Mu's eyes, all lowering their heads in silence.
Since there are no objections, lead the way.
Xu Mu said to the people present.
They exchanged glances with each other and had no choice but to lead Xu Mu toward the cylindrical building.
The cylindrical building had a diameter of about a hundred meters and a height of over twenty meters. From the outside, it appeared to have only three floors.
Upon entering the building, it was very spacious. There were wooden boxes stacked to the side, similar to those found in traditional Chinese medicine shops.
Each wooden box was labeled with the grade and name of the medicinal herbs.
Xu Mu observed the first floor and found that it contained grades one, two, and three.
Therefore, Xu Mu executed his Cloud Step technique and headed to the second floor, discovering that it housed grades four, five, and six.
When Xu Mu reached the second floor, the people below immediately turned around and ran outside.
Xu Mu didn't mind. He continued to leap higher and arrived at the third floor.
As expected, he found an array formation here.
He reached out to touch it and found a transparent wall of air.
Xu Mu could still see the situation inside. Compared to the wooden boxes downstairs, there were far fewer here.
There were four types of grade seven treasures, only two types of grade eight, and as for grade nine, there were no boxes at all.
If nothing unexpected happened, the truly good stuff was all in Wang Liu's hands.
Xu Mu closed his eyes and carefully sensed the array. It was a level-six defensive array.
For the current Xu Mu, this was as simple as one plus one equals two.
In just a few breaths, he unraveled the array here, quickly walked in, and broke open the wooden boxes one by one.
Xu Mu stored everything into his storage space.
Then, he dropped down from above and returned to the second floor. This area contained grade four, five, and six treasures, and the quantity was massive.
Xu Mu found that his storage space and spatial ring were completely full, yet a small amount still remained unpacked.
He suddenly paused, opened his storage space again, and took out all the gift boxes containing treasures below grade three that he had obtained from the lottery draws, throwing them all away.
With grade four, five, and six treasures available, who would still want grades one, two, and three?
Finally, Xu Mu cleared out all the medicinal herbs on the second floor.
He found it somewhat unbelievable. The quantity this time was truly enormous; these items could easily fill more than half a truck.
However, Xu Mu could also imagine the terrifying power of the Immortality Research Institute at this moment.
This was only one of their branch bases.
Just then, Xu Mu noticed Wang Liu's figure appearing at the entrance of the first floor.
He looked up at Xu Mu. Kid, I didn't expect you to be able to alter your appearance. You are indeed quite tricky to deal with, but now that you've entered here, your time has come.
As Wang Liu spoke, he took out a rectangular token from his spatial ring.
After he injected his Qi, the token flashed with light, and array runes and characters emerged all around.
An array key?
Xu Mu recognized it at a glance.
This type of array generally belonged to high-tier formations. When the array was inscribed, a gap was intentionally left behind.
Then, the remaining missing part of the array was inscribed onto a key.
Normally, because the array was incomplete and unformed, it would be very difficult to detect even if someone stepped right on it.
To activate the array, one simply needed to activate the key to complete the formation.
As Wang Liu activated the key, the array inside the entire building sprang to life instantly.
Suddenly, Xu Mu's pupils contracted. The illusion array on his body completely vanished, revealing his original appearance.
This is... a level-nine array, the Spirit Dispersing Array!
Xu Mu raised his hand, feeling his surroundings.
That's right, you're pretty smart, kid. The Spirit Dispersing Array can dispel all spiritual energy within the formation, including the Qi released from your own body.
Wang Liu sneered repeatedly. As soon as Qi is released, it will dissipate. In other words, within this array, you can only use the power of Hidden Force.
As soon as Wang Liu finished speaking, three middle-aged men walked out from behind him.
They stepped into the array without hesitation.
Wang Liu continued, Besides the Spirit Dispersing Array, the interior of this building, as well as the main entrance, will be completely sealed off. You can only enter, not exit. Unless, of course, you can get the key in my hand.
Xu Mu! It really is you!
Zi Wangyou and Yuli also walked in together. She looked up at Xu Mu, who was high above, and said.
Little fox, long time no see. You were wearing this leather outfit last Sunday too.
Xu Mu grinned.
Last Sunday? Have we met?
Zi Wangyou frowned.
I was using the word as a verb.
Xu Mu jumped down from the second floor and said lightly, I hope you change your outfit this Sunday.
You little brat! You still dare to insult me?
Zi Wangyou clenched her fists in anger. She had originally planned to save him, but now she had to let him suffer a bit.
Anyway, she had no obligation to save Xu Mu. Last time, his old man had personally said that Zi Wangyou and Xu Mu were even.
Hahaha! Vice Minister, rest assured, this kid will be torn to pieces right away.
Wang Liu said with a smile, In the Spirit Dispersing Array, no matter how strong a person is, they can only unleash the power of Hidden Force. The true deciding factor of victory is one's physique. The three men on our side have been modified. Their physiques can completely withstand the power of Astral Qi head-on.
Physique? Then you're in trouble.
The smile on Xu Mu's face grew wider and wider.
It's too late for regrets now. Get him! Cripple his limbs!
Wang Liu crossed his arms and shouted sternly.
Leave him to me!
One of the men with a buzz cut strode toward Xu Mu. With every step he took, the ground shook.
When he was two meters away from Xu Mu, he suddenly accelerated, instantly arriving at Xu Mu's side.
As he swung his fist, the sound of the wind tearing through the air could be heard.
Boom!
A loud crash resounded.
Xu Mu merely raised his hand, blocking the punch with the back of his hand.
Impossible!
The buzz-cut man widened his eyes in horror. My strength is enough to...
Boom!
Before he could finish his sentence, Xu Mu punched him right in the face.
Whoosh!
His body instantly flew backward, crashing toward Wang Liu's direction.
Wang Liu immediately dodged out of the way.
With a loud bang, the man's body slammed into the defensive array behind them.
By now, the bones in the man's nose and jaw were completely shattered. He slumped onto the ground, passing out cold.
Seeing this, Wang Liu was so shocked he couldn't speak.
Zi Wangyou and Yuli also looked at Xu Mu in disbelief. Could it be that he had been modified too?
Sorry, but this array seems to have put me right in my comfort zone.
Xu Mu rolled his shoulders and flashed a brilliant smile.
...
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

"Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled.

Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic.

Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
