Within Xu Mu's perception, he spotted an RV.
Wang Hun was sitting on the sofa inside, scrolling through his phone. A cup of coffee rested on the table in front of him.
"What's wrong?"
Fu Jinyu noticed that Xu Mu's expression was a bit off.
"It's nothing. I just feel I've been too high-profile. For a grand event like this, I figured Wang Hun would definitely show up. I think it's better to keep a low profile."
As Xu Mu spoke, he cast an illusion array, gradually altering his appearance.
"In a place like this, Wang Hun definitely wouldn't dare make a move. Attacking right at the doorstep of the Five Great Sects would be slapping their faces in front of the whole world."
Even though Fu Jinyu said this, she still pulled up the hood of her black robe.
Xu Mu thought about it carefully and agreed. If Wang Hun really dared to attack here, the top experts of the Kunlun Mountains would absolutely not let him off.
The two didn't return immediately; instead, they first headed to a deserted area.
The top priority right now was to help Fu Jinyu break through. Once she reached the peak of the Transcendent stage, she shouldn't be instantly killed when facing Wang Hun like before.
Xu Mu carved a formation here to prevent the energy of Fu Jinyu's breakthrough from leaking out and alerting other experts.
"Alright, stand inside the formation and take the pills. Take the divine medicine first."
"Mhm."
Fu Jinyu swallowed the divine medicine, and the power within her body instantly surged.
The energy coursed rapidly through her meridians, making it feel as if her insides were on fire.
Fu Jinyu felt the gradually expanding power within her and then said, "At this rate, I probably won't be able to break through."
"Of course I know that. Hurry up and take the Major Tonic Pill; it contains the crucial medicinal ingredients for the breakthrough," Xu Mu, standing to the side, quickly said.
Fu Jinyu swallowed the remaining pill, and the nearly stagnant energy surged wildly once again.
Her long black hair whipped around as the dark energy on her body continuously radiated outward.
Fortunately, the formation blocked it. Otherwise, the commotion would have been enough to destroy the surrounding trees.
Phew!
The power gradually stabilized. Fu Jinyu clenched her fists in pleasant surprise. Feeling the formidable strength within her body, she was thrilled.
"Xu Mu! I've reached the peak of the Transcendent stage!"
Fu Jinyu retracted all the scattered dark energy back into her body.
[Affection +30]
Looking at Xu Mu in front of her, she felt immensely grateful.
She couldn't even believe it. In the short time she had known Xu Mu, she had already broken through two consecutive stages.
Going from the mid-Transcendent stage, she had now reached the peak of the Transcendent stage.
Next would be stepping into the legendary Realm Breaking stage.
Fu Jinyu knew very well that without Xu Mu, given her injured body, she wouldn't have been able to take even a single step forward.
Her cultivation realm might have even regressed. Everything was thanks to the man in front of her.
"Not bad. Let's head back."
Xu Mu smiled and nodded. "Later, I'll figure out a way to get you to the Realm Breaking stage."
Fu Jinyu followed behind Xu Mu. With her current realm, she could definitely instantly kill Fu Cheng if she faced him.
Just as the two were preparing to return to the hotel, Xu Mu's phone vibrated.
He took it out for a look and found it was an address sent by Nalan Shisan. She had already arrived.
She was waiting for him right in front of a hotel.
Xu Mu brought Fu Jinyu to this location. In front of the hotel, he could see a woman wearing a black veil from afar.
Her graceful figure drew the sidelong glances of most people around her.
Xu Mu walked up to Nalan Shisan and said softly, "Sister Demon Queen, it's me."
He was still using the illusion array at this time, hiding his appearance.
Hearing this voice and seeing the tall woman beside him, Nalan Shisan knew who it was without even having to think.
"Little brother, there are no more hotels available. You must have booked a room, right? I'll rest at your place today."
"No way! Our room is already full; there isn't even space to sleep on the floor."
Fu Jinyu crossed her arms and said indifferently.
"Then I can just sleep together with my little brother."
Saying this, Nalan Shisan winked at Xu Mu.
"In your dreams! There's still some space in our room's bathroom; you can rest there."
Fu Jinyu said coldly.
"Oh my, anyone who didn't know better would think you were Xu Mu's wife."
Nalan Shisan said in a mocking tone.
"Xu Mu is my man."
Fu Jinyu grabbed Xu Mu's arm, declaring her sovereignty.
"Your man? Then have you seen Xu Mu's little brother?"
Nalan Shisan teased from the side.
"I... What? Have you?"
No matter how innocent Fu Jinyu was, she still knew what that phrase implied.
"Of course..."
"Nalan Shisan, you talk too much!"
Xu Mu immediately interrupted her.
"Oops! Sorry, it slipped out."
Nalan Shisan quickly covered her mouth and chuckled at Fu Jinyu. "Sorry, I thought your relationship with Xu Mu had already reached that point. I didn't expect you to be slower than me."
"I... Xu Mu! What did you two do?"
Hearing this, Fu Jinyu's eyes instantly filled with murderous intent.
"Sister Empress, listen to my explanation..."
"Let me explain."
Nalan Shisan showed a gentle smile to Fu Jinyu, "It's nothing, really. To make some money to support the family, Xu Mu opened a shop in the ditch in front of my house. I think he was selling baguettes."
"Nalan Shisan!"
Fu Jinyu grabbed her collar, her gaze bone-chillingly cold, "I'll kill you!"
"I'm sorry, my mistake. I originally thought that since you and Xu Mu had such a good relationship, you would have done it long ago. I didn't realize Xu Mu wasn't interested in you."
Nalan Shisan acted perfectly innocent, pretending to be wronged as she raised her hands in surrender. "If I had known, I wouldn't have said anything!"
"Bullshit! Who said Xu Mu isn't interested in me?"
Fu Jinyu turned to look at Xu Mu, "Let me ask you..."
Just as she opened her mouth, she realized Xu Mu had long since run away.
"You just wait!"
After saying that, Fu Jinyu chased after Xu Mu.
Looking at Fu Jinyu's earlier expression, Nalan Shisan couldn't help but smile.
It felt so good.
She hadn't expected that just a few words from her could make Fu Jinyu so angry.
She would definitely have to do this more often in the future.
"Nalan Shisan."
Suddenly, a man wearing a black cloak appeared behind her.
He called her name using slightly broken Dragon Kingdom language.
Nalan Shisan, who had been full of smiles, immediately restrained her expression. "I have my face covered, and you can still recognize me?"
"I have to admit, your proud figure is still very easy to spot."
The middle-aged man said in a low voice. He took out a small jade token from his body, "Take this."
Nalan Shisan reached out to catch it and rubbed it slightly, "A Level One Twin Formation."
This was a very simple communication formation. There were two tokens in total; when one shattered, the other would shatter along with it.
"That's right. Wait for the tournament to begin and pay attention to the signal. As soon as the token in your hand shatters, you will make your move and enter the Inner Realm."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he turned and left.
Nalan Shisan looked at the token in her hand, her expression flickering with uncertainty.
...
Fu Jinyu had already caught up with Xu Mu and grabbed his arm.
"Xu Mu, do you have a death wish?"
"Wasn't I just afraid that Sister Empress would get angry? Besides, with the scene just now, there were a lot of people around watching the spectacle."
Xu Mu smiled and shrugged. "At this current stage, I don't want to attract too much attention."
"Cut the crap. What exactly did Nalan Shisan do to you?"
"Why are you asking that?"
"Whatever she did to you, I will do to you, and double!"
Fu Jinyu said coldly.
"What the hell?"
Xu Mu frowned. What was going on?
Could there really be such a sweet deal?
