I'll Hold Him Off

"Where are we going?" Fu Jinyu asked.

Like Nalan Shisan, her vision was blocked by the sand. She could only feel the Qi being released during the battle outside.

She had no idea what was actually happening out there.

"Come out with me and you'll see."

Xu Mu led the two women, breaking out from the sand.

Just as the three of them appeared, the black-robed men who had arrived with Wu Tian also stepped into the cave entrance.

Fu Jinyu and Nalan Shisan noticed the black hole on the giant tree. They each grabbed Xu Mu and charged inside.

As soon as they entered, the entrance gradually closed up.

Xu Mu glanced back. Wu Tian's weapon was a good item; he had to find a way to take it for himself.

With this treasure, combined with his current research on formations, most formations would have absolutely no effect on him in the future.

After arriving here, Xu Mu found another mountain forest before his eyes.

However, the surrounding trees looked normal.

They weren't as thick as the ones in the previous formation. Through his perception, he noticed that Wu Tian was already running towards the distant mountain peak.

Xu Mu raised his hand. A small formation turned into a disc and floated in the center of his palm.

Seeing this, Nalan Shisan's eyes suddenly widened in surprise. "A coordinate formation?"

It should be known that she had also studied formations, otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to control the powerful formations in her own territory.

"Exactly. Now you should understand why I used spirit stones when I saved you."

Xu Mu said this while checking the disc in his hand, looking for the coordinate location.

"As expected of you! Little brother, big sister is liking you more and more."

Nalan Shisan immediately hugged Xu Mu's arm, pressing two terrifyingly soft assets against it.

Seeing this, Fu Jinyu immediately pried Nalan Shisan's hands away. "Get away! You only like benefits!"

"Oh my! The pot calling the kettle black? Don't you also like benefits? If Xu Mu hadn't given you that pill, would you like him?"

Nalan Shisan said mockingly, "You always act so aloof and noble, I didn't expect you to be this kind of woman in private. I wouldn't dare go to Tianji."

"What Tianji..." It was only then that Fu Jinyu realized what she meant.

Her face instantly turned red, and she punched Xu Mu in the shoulder. "Xu Mu! I'll Tian your mom!"

Especially since she had just admitted it directly in front of someone else.

Xu Mu glanced back at Fu Jinyu. "Stop messing around! Can't you see I'm busy? The reason I like you is exactly because you can tolerate everything about me."

Fu Jinyu wanted to say something else, but hearing Xu Mu's words, she immediately crossed her arms, pretending to be serious. "I'll deal with you after we get out."

[Affection +10]

Seeing this, Nalan Shisan shook her head slightly. This Fu Jinyu was indeed spoiled since childhood.

With that brain of hers, she would help count the money even if she were sold.

However, in her heart, Nalan Shisan also felt a bit envious.

This kind of silly but cute woman was just lucky enough to meet a normal man.

It was obvious that Xu Mu wasn't tricking her, but genuinely treated her as a friend.

Otherwise, how could he let her eat such a precious pill.

"Found it."

Xu Mu checked the formation in his hand and sensed the location of the coordinates.

However, the coordinates were not in the direction of the mountain peak, but in the back mountain.

He didn't hesitate, deciding to take the treasure first before catching up with Wu Tian.

With this in mind, the three of them followed the coordinates and hurried over.

Xu Mu kept his perception open the whole time, constantly aware of their surroundings.

Finally, they arrived at the place where the treasure was kept. As they approached, they found six people guarding the area.

Two of them were in the Mortal Shedding realm, while the remaining four were only Grandmasters.

Xu Mu didn't act immediately. Instead, he used his perception to listen to their conversation.

He nodded secretly. He had guessed correctly; an internal conflict had indeed broken out within the White Stone Clan.

However, they didn't explain the details clearly.

"You two, go. End this quickly."

Xu Mu said to the two women beside him.

As soon as he spoke, the two beauties flew forward.

Swish, swish, swish...

The two of them unleashed their power, going all out, and instantly eliminated all the guards.

Seeing this, Xu Mu quickly came over and took off the spatial rings from the hands of the two Mortal Shedding realm cultivators.

Using the Spirit Devouring Holy Gu, he devoured all the corpses.

Upon arriving here, they found that the cave entrance was blocked by vines, which were identical to the cage that had trapped them earlier.

"Simple, we'll go in through the wall."

Fu Jinyu went to the side of the entrance and shattered the rock in front of her with a punch, only to find that there were still vines inside.

In other words, this place was completely encased by a vine cage, and ordinary people truly couldn't get in.

"All that for nothing. There's no one inside, so you can't teleport in either."

Nalan Shisan looked at Xu Mu helplessly.

"Who do you think I am?"

A black shadow flew out from Xu Mu's body, slipping through the gaps into the cave's interior.

The next moment, Xu Mu was inside.

Then, he cast Shape-Shifting Phantom, swapping positions with Fu Jinyu.

Now, Fu Jinyu was inside the cave, while Xu Mu and Nalan Shisan were outside.

Seeing this, Nalan Shisan was dumbfounded. Just how many cultivation techniques had this Xu Mu mastered?

She had never heard of such methods before.

Xu Mu used the same method to teleport Nalan Shisan inside as well.

Finally, all three of them were inside the cave.

[Affection +10]

Nalan Shisan looked at Xu Mu and said, "I didn't expect you to bring us all in. You could have easily come in by yourself, grabbed more treasures, and I definitely wouldn't have the nerve to search you."

Fu Jinyu hadn't thought of this, but after hearing Nalan Shisan say it, she felt it made sense.

[Affection +10]

"I'm not a stingy person."

Xu Mu smiled and waved his hand, then headed deeper into the cave. After walking just a dozen meters, he saw the spirit stones in front of him.

They were neatly arranged, practically piling up into a mountain.

The quantity was at least a dozen tons.

"This is a bit lacking for spirit stones. It seems they are transferring them in batches."

Fu Jinyu looked around.

Nalan Shisan, on the other hand, darted back and forth among the spirit stones. "Damn it, it's all spirit stones. There isn't a single natural treasure."

"We can exchange them anyway, what's the rush?"

Xu Mu took out a dozen spatial rings from his person. "Stop talking nonsense and start packing."

He first opened his storage space. His Escalade was still parked inside, taking up quite a bit of room.

Fortunately, his storage space was much larger than before. Coupled with the dozen rings, plus Fu Jinyu and Nalan Shisan's rings...

They eventually cleared out all the dozen tons of spirit stones.

BOOM!

Right at this moment, a violent sound erupted from the distant mountain peak, like a clap of thunder ringing right in their ears.

"Not good! It's that Realm Breaker Fourth Stage expert!"

Xu Mu immediately looked around and punched a hole in the area, but it was still blocked by vines.

"You guys go first, I'll hold him off."

Using the same method as before, he sent the two women out from behind the hole.

"Xu Mu, what about you?"

Fu Jinyu asked in a low voice.

"I can't leave, otherwise none of us will escape! If he wants to catch me, it won't be that easy!"

After saying that, Xu Mu deliberately ran towards the direction of that aura.

"Xu Mu..."

"Go!"

Nalan Shisan grabbed Fu Jinyu by the shoulder and fled into the distance. "Xu Mu is much better at escaping than we are!"

Xu Mu deliberately released his energy to attract Shao Tian's attention. In just a matter of breaths, Shao Tian appeared right before his eyes.

Shao Tian first glanced at the distant cave; the vine cage was completely intact. He then turned to look at Xu Mu. "Did you take the spirit stones?"

"No, I couldn't even get inside. Search me if you don't believe it."

Xu Mu spread his hands open.

"Hand over your spatial ring, and I will spare your life!"

Shao Tian said coldly, his eyes fixed on the ring on Xu Mu's finger.
