Brother Mu, I've messed up.

Coming outside, it was already late at night.

Yet the world inside was still in broad daylight.

The outside world and the inner realm truly did not belong to the same dimension.

At this time, the outside was brightly lit; the cleaners had already set up high-intensity searchlights at a high vantage point.

Just as Xu Mu emerged from the inside, Chen Xuan and Fu Jinyu hurried over from a distance.

"Brother Mu, are you alright?"

Chen Xuan asked as he walked up.

"I'm fine. I even saved someone along the way."

Xu Mu pointed to Amelia beside him.

[Favorability +5]

"Xu Mu, thank you so much. I plan to return to the Holy See right now to report this incident to His Holiness the Pope."

Amelia bowed her head slightly to Xu Mu. "I'll be taking my leave now."

"Take care."

Xu Mu waved his hand at Amelia.

"Xu Mu! You made it out too?"

From a distant rock, a tomboy wearing overalls trotted over.

Hearing the voice, Xu Mu looked over and saw that it was Tian Xi and Tian Zhenyu.

He immediately pulled Tian Xi along and walked up to Tian Zhenyu. "Senior, I must thank you for this time. If you hadn't saved me, Wang Hun might have succeeded in his sneak attack."

"I should be the one thanking you. Wang Hun wanted to hide behind this kid, pierce through her body, and then stab you."

Tian Zhenyu shook his head. "You were the one who reacted first and saved her."

"This is a healing pill. Please take it, Senior."

Xu Mu took out a pill from his pocket.

Tian Zhenyu replied, "No need, I've already taken one just now."

"Mine should be of a higher grade than yours, Senior."

Xu Mu placed the pill in Tian Xi's hand.

"Old man, just eat it."

Tian Xi took the pill and directly stuffed it into Tian Zhenyu's mouth.

Tian Zhenyu frowned slightly, but a surge of pure energy immediately rushed to his injured area.

It made his wound feel warm and soothing.

"This pill is indeed of a high grade. Thank you."

Tian Zhenyu smiled at Xu Mu. "But you, kid, really hide your true strength well. Mr. Soul personally launched a sneak attack to kill you. It seems that in his eyes, you are a threat."

"I only destroyed a few of his branches. This guy doesn't play by the rules. Coming to kill me himself, he doesn't even find it embarrassing."

Xu Mu waved his hand. "Since everything is fine, I'll get going first."

"Alright, I'm waiting for an acquaintance here."

Tian Zhenyu nodded gently.

"Tian Xi, I'm leaving."

Xu Mu said goodbye to Tian Xi before leaving together with Chen Xuan and Fu Jinyu.

On the way.

Fu Jinyu took a deep breath. "Is this whole thing finally over?"

"It's over."

Xu Mu nodded.

"Brother Mu, this inner realm isn't a place our level should logically be able to break into. It was definitely thrilling."

Chen Xuan chuckled and shook his head beside him. "Of course, what annoys me the most is that we didn't get anything."

Xu Mu smiled. "I actually managed to get a few things during my deep dive this time. Let's go eat first."

...

The restaurants at the foot of the mountain.

They were packed today. Even the restaurant owners didn't know what was going on.

Why were there suddenly so many outsiders late at night?

As Xu Mu passed by, he did a quick sweep with his perception and found that most of the people eating here were the experts who had entered the inner realm earlier.

Having narrowly escaped death this time, they just wanted to have a huge meal to reward themselves.

Xu Mu led Chen Xuan and Fu Jinyu along the road toward the hotel.

They finally found a relatively empty restaurant that sold wontons and roujiamo. Xu Mu led the two of them inside.

As Fu Jinyu walked into the shop, she took out a pair of sunglasses from her spatial ring.

She didn't want to cause a stir because of her eyes.

"What would you like to eat, folks?"

The proprietress walked out with a smile.

"Order whatever you want. You must eat until you're stuffed today."

Xu Mu looked at both of them.

"Then I won't hold back. A large bowl of wontons and three roujiamos."

Chen Xuan said, looking at the proprietress.

"I'll also have a large bowl of wontons and two pure lean meat roujiamos,"

Fu Jinyu glanced at Xu Mu. "You won't think I eat too much, right?"

She hadn't eaten all day, and combined with her injuries and blood loss, her stomach had long been rumbling.

"Definitely not. Besides, look at your figure. You're not one of those five-foot-tall little potatoes."

Xu Mu grinned.

As a doctor, he knew what balance meant.

With Fu Jinyu's height of nearly 1.8 meters, her frequent combat activities, and, crucially, her well-endowed proportions.

The energy she required was definitely not something a sedentary 1.5-meter-tall woman could compare to.

"Proprietress, I'll also have a large bowl of wontons and two roujiamos."

Xu Mu sat down at a table.

"Right away."

The proprietress smiled, nodded, and went in to prepare.

At this moment, the small restaurant was completely empty.

"Xu Mu, what kind of treasures did you say you found?"

Fu Jinyu asked in a low voice.

Xu Mu didn't hide anything this time. Sometimes these things were mutual. Faced with the threat of death, Fu Jinyu and Chen Xuan had chosen to stand by his side.

He would certainly share what he had obtained.

Of course, since Xu Mu had found them himself, if there was something he really needed, he would just say so.

Regarding this point, the two people in front of him definitely wouldn't complain.

Xu Mu took out five rings from his pocket and lined them up in front of him.

"I went deeper into the inner realm again and found many corpses there. I looted five spatial rings from them."

Xu Mu said with a smile.

Logically speaking, these spatial rings should have eventually fallen into Wu Tian's hands.

However, he had snatched them first.

"Five rings!"

Fu Jinyu was secretly shocked.

"Come on, let's take a look at what good stuff is inside each of them."

Xu Mu first picked up a bloodstained ring. This was the ring Shi Fumeng had obtained.

Unsurprisingly, the treasures inside shouldn't be too valuable.

After all, she was only a female lead; the things she obtained definitely couldn't compare to Wu Tian's.

As Xu Mu had guessed, inside the ring, apart from weapons and clothes, there was only a small amount of low-grade natural treasures.

The most valuable item was a Yellow-tier cultivation technique, along with a few spirit stones.

Spirit stones were solid formations of spiritual energy that had precipitated over long periods of time.

Generally, high-level and powerful formations required spirit stones to operate.

"Holy shit! Brother Mu, an Earth-tier technique!"

Chen Xuan pulled a black metal plate out of a ring.

"I have a ninth-grade natural treasure here, an Ice Obsidian!"

Fu Jinyu was also somewhat moved.

Their orthodox Sky Demon Race all possessed black Qi. Black corresponded to water, which meant they essentially had water-attribute bodies.

To advance from the mid-stage to the late-stage of the Mortal Shedding realm, an Ice Obsidian was exactly what she needed.

"Let's check the others."

Xu Mu picked up another ring and found another Earth-tier technique.

It seemed that the foreign race members who died this time were definitely not ordinary people.

Chen Xuan picked up the last ring. Out of curiosity, he took out something resembling a golden seal.

"Strange, what is this thing?"

Chen Xuan turned the seal over to examine the text on it.

Suddenly, the seal flashed with a golden light. Golden characters were imprinted onto Chen Xuan's face and then vanished.

The golden seal also lost its luster.

"Holy shit!"

Chen Xuan cursed under his breath. "Brother Mu, I've messed up. This is probably a Heaven-tier technique!"

"Boss, a large bowl of wontons and a meat sandwich with extra green peppers."

Just then, a familiar female voice drifted over.

Xu Mu realized it was none other than Shi Fumeng.
