The Purpose of the King's Soul

When Xu Mu saw Wu Tian, his mind raced. It seemed his guess was correct; Wu Tian had indeed come.

So, this instance was most likely provided for Wu Tian.

"I'm asking you a question. If you don't answer, I'll consider you an enemy."

Wu Tian said with a grave expression.

Shi Fumeng didn't speak. Her primary goal now was still to follow Xu Mu's lead and see what he intended.

"It's me."

Xu Mu took off the hood of his black robe, revealing his face.

Seeing Xu Mu reveal his identity, Shi Fumeng also showed her face.

"Xu Mu! Senior Sister?"

Looking at the two before him, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Wu Tian's mouth. "Xu Mu! We really are fated to meet!"

Xu Mu walked towards Wu Tian. It wasn't mere chance; Xu Mu knew Wu Tian would come and had specifically come here.

"It means the two of us are connected by fate."

Xu Mu arrived by Wu Tian's side.

However, Wu Tian's face was full of vigilance. This was the inner realm, where combat was allowed.

He still had self-awareness; currently, he was no match for Xu Mu.

"Xu Mu! What do you want? Let me make this clear first: we have a common enemy now."

Wu Tian said coldly.

"Heh, you two, I don't know what grievances you have, but now is a critical time. How about you both give me some face and bury the hatchet, at least until this crisis is over?"

Amelia smiled as she looked at the two.

Xu Mu looked at Amelia and said with a smile, "I'll give this sister some face, all because she's so beautiful."

[Favorability +5]

Amelia revealed a smile, then turned her gaze to Wu Tian.

"The lady makes a good point. This time, we were clearly tricked by the people of the Myriad Races Valley. No one knows their true purpose. Only by joining forces can we possibly resolve this crisis."

Wu Tian nodded slightly.

"Good. Look over there. We're about to reach the largest island, and there's a palace on it."

Amelia pointed into the distance. "If I'm not mistaken, that island holds the answer to our predicament."

The others around also nodded.

"Let me send you over."

Shi Fumeng raised her hand, and the power within her erupted.

Boom!

The seawater beneath the islands suddenly transformed into massive waves, surging towards the group.

Shi Fumeng leaped into the air, landing atop the wave. "The rest of you, follow me."

Xu Mu was the first to jump up, landing on the spray.

The remaining Wu Tian and Amelia exchanged glances, surprised that Shi Fumeng possessed such an ability.

The two then jumped up as well.

Shi Fumeng waved her hand again, and the wave surged towards the distant largest island.

"Senior Sister! You're so strong! What kind of technique is this? To be able to do something like this."

Wu Tian exclaimed in amazement from the side.

Shi Fumeng's face was practically tilted towards the sky with pride. Just as she was about to speak, Xu Mu beside her spoke first.

"It's related to the technique, but that's not the main point. The most important thing is her mastery. It seems she has already fully integrated it."

Xu Mu said with a smile.

[Favorability +5]

The smile on Shi Fumeng's face was impossible to hide. It had to be said, Xu Mu's words struck a chord with her.

The power of a Heaven-grade technique was undeniable, but that wasn't the key. The key was Shi Fumeng's own mastery over the technique.

How many people, even with powerful techniques, could only exert half their potential?

Yet she could fully unleash its power. Wasn't that talent?

"It's average. My mastery is only above average."

Shi Fumeng feigned modesty.

Xu Mu cursed inwardly. This Shi Fumeng really had negative filial piety points.

He had given her a technique, and no favorability appeared. Now, after forcefully praising her, he only got five points.

He could only wait until they encountered Fu Jinyu later and give her a proper round of praise.

With dangers all around, he needed to gain more Justice Points to improve his own cultivation.

As the wave crashed onto the largest island, they all jumped off.

From the edge, this massive island was almost the size of a small town.

Moreover, this island was different from the others.

While the other islands were overgrown with weeds, this one clearly showed signs of artificial modification.

On the island, the fluctuations of battle were continuous. Just as they were about to head towards the palace on the distant mountain, two figures blocked their path.

Seeing these two, Amelia's blue eyes widened in shock.

"Katie, Otis, what's wrong with you?"

Amelia asked in English.

Because the two before her were the very ones who had entered with her.

Xu Mu carefully observed their complexions. From his knowledge of medicine, the two before him were already dead.

Whoosh!

The two simultaneously erupted with power, charging towards Xu Mu and the others.

Seeing this, Wu Tian was about to make a move but was stopped by Amelia beside him.

"Don't attack!"

Amelia took a few steps forward and asked sternly, "What's wrong with you two? Snap out of it!"

Swish!

The two showed no reaction, their attacks already landing on Amelia.

Boom!

The scattered forces caused cracks to appear in the earth.

Xu Mu and the others all dodged away, leaving the battlefield to Amelia.

Amelia's body was enveloped in a golden light, which blocked the attacks of the two.

She hadn't made a move yet, only calling out their names.

Xu Mu, with his arms crossed, used his perception to examine the two bodies and only then discovered that both of their brains contained parasitic insects.

The insects were very large, about the size of a segment of a little finger.

Xu Mu expanded his perception to its limit and discovered that in the distance, others were also fighting.

Upon closer observation, he found that their heads also contained the same kind of parasitic insects.

A sudden sense of foreboding arose in Xu Mu's heart; perhaps this was their goal.

The Inner Realm, legendary god-tier cultivation techniques, heaven-tier techniques.

With these three attributes combined, who below the Grandmaster level would dare come here to throw their lives away?

Therefore, only experts could come to this place.

And Wang Hun's goal was to kill these experts and then control them through the parasitic insects.

If his plan succeeded, just this one time, who knew how many experts he could acquire.

"Amelia! Stop calling them, they're already dead!"

Xu Mu shouted into the distance.

"What nonsense are you talking about? They're just being controlled!"

Amelia suddenly erupted with power. She raised her hand and coldly shouted, "Judgment of Light!"

Hum!

A massive golden cross appeared above the two figures.

Boom!

The cross slammed down violently, shaking the earth and burying the two within its trench.

Amelia immediately jumped into the trench, using hand chops to strike their necks, trying to knock them unconscious.

But the two were completely unaffected and suddenly turned their assault on Amelia.

Boom!

Golden light flashed once more as Amelia was forced back, a new wound now on her body.

Just as Xu Mu was about to speak, a black-robed figure descended from the sky, landing right in front of him.

Shi Fumeng was startled and quickly retreated. If Mr. Soul came looking for her again, she would have to run. She had already obtained the cultivation technique; she certainly wouldn't die for Xu Mu.
