Xu Mu didn't want to talk much more with Yan Baizhi, but she meant well, so he smiled and said, "Thank you. I'll make sure to take protective measures on my end."
Hearing this, Yan Baizhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Mu looked at the people in front of him. "I've offended another faction recently, the Demon Sword Sect."
"The Demon Sword Sect? Brother, don't you know their cultivation methods?"
Dai Xingluo had definitely heard of the Demon Sword Sect. Her former sect, the Heavenly Sword Sect, had a decades-long feud with them.
Whenever disciples of the two sects met in ruins, a battle was bound to break out.
"I know this sect. They are still quite far from being a first-tier sect, and their sect master Xia Chuan is only at the Mortal Shedding Realm. I think I can handle him," Tong Guoguo said after taking a bite of an apple.
Xu Mu nodded gently. "That puts my mind at ease. However, before that, let's start by dealing with their elders."
...
The sky grew dark.
Ye Tong had already finished work and returned home. Ye Yu and Bai Yi weren't coming back today; they had evening self-study, and their school teachers had some things to go over with them.
For safety's sake, Xu Mu also called Xu Ningbing over.
This way, it would be much safer.
Everyone sat around the dining table, and Xu Mu gave them a rough overview of the situation.
Xu Ningbing didn't expect that after what happened at noon today, the enemy would come looking for payback the very same night.
But this was fine too, saving them from prolonged anxiety.
"Hubby, what if they don't come tonight? Will they try to do something against us tomorrow morning?" Ye Tong asked from the side.
Mainly because last time, both she and Ye Yu had been kidnapped by thugs.
"Don't worry. If they don't come tonight, I'll directly drop in on the Demon Sword Sect tomorrow," Xu Mu said with a smile. "Of course, even if they do come today, I'll still drop in on them tomorrow."
Attacking the source directly would save him a lot of trouble.
The combat power currently around him was more than enough to deal with a second-tier sect.
Tonight, Feng Yue went back to her own home, while the rest of them all stayed at Xu Mu's villa.
However, Tong Guoguo and Liang Yi didn't go to their rooms; instead, they sat on the sofa and waited.
Xu Mu also sat there, keeping them company.
If the people coming this time were quite strong and Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo couldn't instantly kill them, the fight might drag on.
In that case, his villa might get destroyed, so it would be better to let Tong Guoguo make the move.
While waiting for those people to arrive, Xu Mu lay on the sofa and opened his system panel.
With the Justice Points he had currently acquired, he could do another two ten-consecutive draws.
With so many people together, plus Ye Tong's multiplier, it truly resulted in a quantitative change.
However, he could clearly sense that once the affection level was very high, the amount of affection he could gain would decrease.
For instance, right now, people like Dai Xingluo and Xu Ningbing didn't contribute as much as Tong Guoguo.
Because relatively speaking, Dai Xingluo and Xu Ningbing had a higher affection for Xu Mu.
It was just like leveling up: the higher the level, the harder it was to progress.
Xu Mu clicked the roulette wheel, and the wheel in front of him began to spin.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30 Cultivation Points.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20 Attribute Points.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20 kilograms of Spirit Stones.
Xu Mu stroked his chin in thought. He had obtained quite a lot of Spirit Stones recently.
It felt like the basic items provided by the system were also changing according to his own strength.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30 Cultivation Points.
...
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 10 kilograms of Spirit Stones.
The first ten-consecutive draw ended. Xu Mu felt it was not bad; two drops of Spirit Stones, and the rest were guaranteed minimums.
He continued drawing, using up the second ten-consecutive draw.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Storage Space.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30 Cultivation Points.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20 Attribute Points.
...
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30 Cultivation Points.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level Nine Formation, the Phantom Dream Soul-Weaving Formation.
"Holy shit!"
Xu Mu suddenly sat up from the sofa. He originally thought the last one would be a basic guarantee, but he didn't expect to get a Level Nine Formation.
"What's wrong with you? You startled me."
Tong Guoguo, who was leaning against the sofa thinking about something, was jolted awake by Xu Mu's voice.
"Sorry, I suddenly remembered something, but it's not important. It's been a long time."
Xu Mu wasn't in a hurry to add his points this time; instead, he first checked this Level Nine Formation.
After looking at it, he was pleasantly surprised to find that it was actually a Level Nine Illusion Formation.
This was a good item, exactly what he needed right now.
As long as he engraved this formation in his home, if anyone broke into their house in the future, it would be a death sentence for them.
Even a Level Nine Formation Master would need a long time to crack a Level Nine Formation.
Afterward, Xu Mu finally added all the points he had obtained this time.
This time, he gained 300 Cultivation Points and 160 Attribute Points.
After adding them, Xu Mu felt his physical strength increase a bit more.
Once everything was done, he checked his current status panel.
Name: Xu Mu
Identity: Villain Holy Body, HR Manager of Xu Group
Realm: Late Stage Grandmaster
Physique: 2180
Spirit: 2180
Cultivation Points: 420 (Max 1600)
Destiny Power: 3062
Xu Mu nodded secretly. According to the current trend, there was absolutely no need to worry about the two-year deadline he had promised Liang Yi.
In less than two years, he felt he could even wipe out the Immortality Research Institute.
"By the way, do you guys know anything about this Demon Sword Sect?"
Xu Mu lay on the sofa and asked, looking at the two of them.
"This sect is both righteous and evil, but in short, it can't be considered an orthodox sect. I heard they also have connections with foreign races."
Liang Yi answered from the side.
Xu Mu recalled what happened before. Chen Xuan met Xia Sihan and asked her to break off the engagement.
Xia Sihan also made a video call to her father. Seeing Xia Chuan's expression at the time, he seemed barely able to hold it together.
Obviously, he knew that Chen Xuan's master was dead and had wanted to break off the engagement for a long time.
Xu Mu pondered for a moment and decided to give Chen Xuan a heads-up before going to the Demon Sword Sect tomorrow.
Just as he was about to speak, three people appeared in his perception.
They were wearing black sportswear and black masks over their heads, revealing only their eyes.
They had climbed over the wall from the mountain forest behind the villa area. Checking the house number on their phones, they finally stopped in front of Xu Mu's door.
"They're here."
Xu Mu said softly, "Don't make any rash moves. Let's see what they want to do first."
As soon as he finished speaking, the three people jumped into the villa compound.
Seeing the lights on in the villa, they approached the front door and tried to open it tentatively, only to find it wasn't locked.
So they swaggered into the living room, just in time to spot the three people sitting there.
One of them held a phone, checked the photo on it, and then looked at Xu Mu. The person matched.
"Who are you people?"
Xu Mu asked, already knowing the answer.
"Cut the crap. You must be Xu Mu, right? Where is your sister? Why isn't she at the Xu Family Manor?"
The person's voice belonged to a middle-aged man.
From what he said, it was obvious they had already been to the Xu Family Manor.
"I don't know, maybe she went out for a meeting,"
Xu Mu said with a smile.
"Hmph! Anyway, if we capture you, she will definitely show up. Take him away!"
As soon as the leading middle-aged man finished speaking, they attacked together.
Tong Guoguo was just about to make a move, but upon catching the look in Xu Mu's eyes, she lowered her hand.
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."

Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe.
