Stepping into the Inner World Again

Xu Mu pondered for a moment. Since the protagonist, Ye Chen, managed to find this place, there was a high probability that this Inner Realm contained some treasures.

"Old Chen, use your ID card to book a room," Xu Mu said to Chen Xuan.

The hotel where they had parked their helicopter was on the other side of this area, beyond his four-hundred-meter range.

From that hotel, he wouldn't be able to sense what was happening here.

Chen Xuan nodded and walked towards the hotel.

It didn't take long for Chen Xuan to send Xu Mu the room number.

Xu Mu didn't jump in from the back of the hotel with Fu Jinyu.

Ye Chen was here; any Qi they released would be detected.

Before encountering the Jiuli Clan, he felt they should keep a low profile and ideally avoid being discovered by Ye Chen.

He and Fu Jinyu walked into the hotel together and arrived at a standard room on the third floor.

As for Ye Chen and Huang Qu, they were on the fourth floor.

"Alright, let's rest here for a bit. They should be arriving soon, and then we'll be able to find the Inner Realm," Xu Mu said to the two of them.

His perception was fully spread out at this moment, wanting to see exactly what Ye Chen was planning.

Ye Chen and Huang Qu were resting on their respective beds.

Huang Qu lit a cigarette and asked with a smile, "Dragon King, when are we heading back?"

"Depends on what treasures we can obtain from this Inner Realm."

Ye Chen looked at his phone expressionlessly. "Recently, I've realized that Xu Mu has become my inner demon. I need to get rid of him as soon as possible."

Huang Qu glanced at Ye Chen with a smile. "His background is far from ordinary. If nothing else, he should be from an extremely powerful sect."

"What is there to fear? If gods block me, I slay the gods; if Buddhas block me, I slay the Buddhas!"

Ye Chen's face remained calm. "Once I deal with Xu Mu, I should be able to avenge you."

"There's no rush for my revenge," Huang Qu said softly.

...

Xu Mu noticed the two had stopped talking and were both looking at their phones.

"Brother Mu, what are you thinking about?"

Chen Xuan asked, seeing Xu Mu sitting in his chair lost in thought.

"Oh, I'm considering whether we should hide our identities. If we run into Wang Hun again, we'll still fail."

Xu Mu didn't retract his perception. He said lightly, "Last time it was just good luck that Redemption happened to appear. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"It's different! Last time I was only at the mid-stage of the Transcendent realm. Now I've taken a step further; I definitely won't be left without any room to fight back," Fu Jinyu raised her hand and said.

"Brother Mu, same for me."

Chen Xuan smiled.

Xu Mu nodded. Suddenly, his gaze sharpened. "They're here."

At the same time.

A black Volkswagen parked in front of the hotel.

Two people sat in the back seat, both with silver hair and red eyes.

One was an old man, and the other was middle-aged.

There was also a young man in the passenger seat. He was also from the Jiuli Clan. Before getting out of the car, he took out colored contact lenses and put them in his eyes, masking his red eyes into black.

He took the initiative to get out and book a suite at the hotel.

Xu Mu kept observing their movements through his perception.

"I have a question, Xu Mu. You're clearly not as strong as I am, so why are your perception abilities stronger than mine?" Fu Jinyu looked at Xu Mu and asked.

"This is a perception-type cultivation technique, Heaven-grade," Xu Mu explained with a smile.

"Alright."

Fu Jinyu hadn't expected that even a mere perception technique of Xu Mu's would be Heaven-grade.

In all her years of living, aside from her ancestral unsealing technique which was Heaven-grade, she hadn't mastered any other Heaven-grade techniques.

It felt like Xu Mu had several of them.

Time slowly ticked by.

Another familiar face appeared. It was none other than Xia Chuan from the Demon Sword Sect.

Besides him, there was also a round-faced old man with a pockmarked face.

Xu Mu realized that this Inner Realm truly wasn't a trap.

The sky was about to turn dark, and only two people had arrived outside. With such a small number, it was obvious they didn't want anyone else to find out.

Just then, Xu Mu saw through his perception that the people from the Jiuli Clan were preparing to head down.

He immediately took Fu Jinyu and Chen Xuan downstairs ahead of them.

Xu Mu had already used an Illusion Array beforehand to change his figure and appearance.

As for Fu Jinyu, she didn't use an array to change her form because the grade of her arrays was too low.

It would be easily spotted by these experts, so she was better off just wearing sunglasses for a simple disguise.

As for Chen Xuan, he no longer had any glaring weaknesses.

Previously, he had always carried a urea woven sack. Even when wearing a black robe, his back would bulge, and anyone with half a brain could figure out it was him.

But now, he had a spatial ring. All his pots, bowls, ladles, and basins could be put inside it.

The woven sack was empty and easy to hide, already tied up inside his clothes.

The three of them stepped outside the hotel together. They stood in front of a distant shop, looking at their phones, but were actually observing the group over there.

Before long, the three people from the Jiuli Clan emerged from the hotel together.

Xu Mu noticed that Ye Chen and Huang Qu were following behind them.

Clearly, the members of the Jiuli Clan didn't know them.

Xu Mu roughly scanned the group with his Eye of God, starting with the leader of the Jiuli Clan.

Name: Wu Cang

Identity: Leader of the Seventh Tribe of the Jiuli Clan

Favorability: 0

Destiny Level: 3 (Max Level 10)

He then checked the old man with a face full of acne scars beside Xia Chuan.

Name: Zhong Shuizhou

Identity: First Elder of the Star Lock Pagoda

Favorability: 0

Destiny Level: 3 (Max level 10)

Xu Mu nodded to himself. To think it was the First Elder of the Star Lock Pagoda.

This sect was also introduced in the original plot. It specialized in formations.

It was much higher-ranked than the Demonic Sword Sect, barely scraping the bottom of the first-tier sects.

"Senior!"

Xia Chuan cupped his hands slightly when he saw Wu Cang.

Wu Cang was currently wearing a straw hat that covered his silver hair. "You two should know each other, right?"

"Of course I know Senior Zhong of the Star Lock Pagoda."

Xia Chuan said softly.

"Good, then let me introduce you."

Wu Cang pointed at the middle-aged man with a buzz cut beside him. "This is the new leader of the Ninth Tribe, Shanyue."

Xia Chuan cupped his hands slightly, while Zhong Shuizhou beside him gave a slight nod.

Wu Cang then pointed to the young man beside him. "This is my son, Wu Zheng."

Wu Zheng revealed a faint smile. "Hello, you two."

"Enough talk. Let's go now while it's dark!"

Wu Cang said to the group, and then headed toward the distant mountain forest.

Ye Chen was pretending to look at his phone on the side. Knowing that they had set off, he and Huang Qu also followed them.

Xu Mu smiled and said, "Let's go too."

...

Xu Mu didn't follow Wu Cang and the others. He followed Ye Chen, keeping him at the very edge of his perception range at all times.

This would prevent them from discovering him.

Finally, Ye Chen and the others stopped. They placed their hands on a stone and then disappeared.

Xu Mu immediately followed and eventually stopped at the entrance.

This place was located in an uninhabited deep mountain area near the border. A few kilometers away was the border's barbed wire.

Xu Mu and the others all took out black robes, put them on, and entered.

As soon as they stepped into the Inner World, the night sky disappeared. The time here was like noon.

In the distance, Wu Cang and his group turned around to look at Ye Chen, while Ye Chen also looked at Xu Mu and his group.

"Fuck! Who are you people? How dare you track us?"

Wu Cang shouted angrily.

"Are you Dragon King Ye Chen?"

Xu Mu asked Ye Chen, using an old, hoarse voice.

It should be known that Ye Chen hadn't disguised his identity.

"What? Ye Chen?"

Wu Cang frowned. "Are you the one who killed my son?"

Ye Chen first glanced at Xu Mu, then at Wu Cang. "I've killed many people. How would I know which one is your son?"

"You're courting death!"

Wu Cang clenched his fists and lunged toward Ye Chen.
