Entering the Kunlun Mountains

Previously, when Xu Mu and Fu Jinyu left together, Xu Ningbing had specifically inquired about Fu Jinyu's identity.

Through Tong Guoguo's introduction, she learned that this woman was the Empress of the Heavenly Demon Tribe, which meant she was their clan leader.

But Xu Ningbing had never been afraid of anyone. She immediately stepped in to stop it. "No way! With so many people watching, how can a woman like you sleep together with a grown man? What would people think?"

"Xu Mu hasn't even refused, so why are you so anxious? Are you his wife?"

Fu Jinyu crossed her arms and looked at Xu Ningbing indifferently.

"I am Xu Mu's older sister!"

"So you aren't his wife. What business is it of yours?"

Fu Jinyu's expression remained calm. "I am not afraid of gossip."

"You... Little Mu, tell her!"

Xu Ningbing looked at Xu Mu, who was sitting on the bedding.

"Uh... we're just sleeping, it's not like we're going to do anything. Sis, don't overthink it."

Xu Mu waved his hand at Xu Ningbing. "I'd also like to sleep in a bed by myself, that would be so comfortable, but isn't it because we have no other choice? Sigh, I'll just have to endure it."

Xu Ningbing originally wanted to say something more, but thinking about it carefully, he was right. Besides, Fu Jinyu was the one who had booked this room.

"Then... alright."

Xu Ningbing nodded slightly. Since Xu Mu had said so, it wasn't her place to say anything else.

In the end, the group divided up their sleeping spots. Dai Xingluo and Meng Wanyue each got a bed, while Tong Guoguo slept on the sofa.

As for Xu Mu, Xu Ningbing, and Fu Jinyu, they slept on the floor.

After the lights were turned off, Fu Jinyu was still thinking about what Nalan Shisan had done to Xu Mu.

This decision was too difficult for her.

From ancient times to the present, the Heavenly Demon Tribe had always valued dignity more than their own lives. She definitely wouldn't be as shameless as Nalan Shisan.

Suddenly, Fu Jinyu thought of a solution, which was mutual destruction.

If she really did that, then Xu Mu would have to do the same to her...

At this thought, Fu Jinyu shook her head vigorously. Why did it still feel like she was the one losing out?

...

Early the next morning, Xu Mu opened his eyes. His expression suddenly changed as he found his head completely locked in place from all directions by four fierce beasts.

He felt as if he had been sealed, completely unable to move.

Xu Mu did not like being sealed; he preferred to face battles head-on, so he decided to turn his head and face Fu Jinyu first.

However, the moment he made the motion to turn his head, Fu Jinyu and Xu Ningbing suddenly opened their eyes.

"What are you doing?"

Fu Jinyu pushed Xu Mu away almost on instinct. Her words also woke up the others in the room.

"Little Mu, are you alright?"

Xu Ningbing immediately asked.

"I'm fine. You guys toss and turn too much in your sleep. I was completely pinned down by you all, and now my back is aching."

Xu Mu sat up, walked over to the window, and pulled the curtains open slightly.

The sky was just beginning to brighten, so there was no glaring sunlight shining in.

The others also opened their eyes and sat up one after another.

Xu Mu stretched vigorously. Using his perception to check his surroundings, he found that the occupancy rates of the various hotels had become even higher.

As time passed, more and more people were gathering outside.

Xu Mu led the group out, getting ready to grab some breakfast.

Just like before, the girls all put on the masks that Xu Mu had made for them.

Once outside the hotel, the group became the center of attention.

Gossip like this always spread very quickly.

Moreover, these people were not fools. After a battle, this group didn't have a single scratch on them, so everyone could easily guess who won and who lost.

Xu Mu and the others stopped in front of a shop selling steamed buns. They casually ordered some steamed buns, pan-fried buns, and soy milk.

While they were eating, no one dared to come forward and strike up a conversation.

Last night, the conflict between this group of masked people and the Strength Faction Court had practically spread throughout the entire town.

In the minds of most people, no matter which sect the people in front of them belonged to, they could not contend with the Strength Faction Court.

If they acted too close to them now, what would happen if the Strength Faction Court treated them as enemies too?

After eating, Xu Mu's phone buzzed.

He took it out and took a look, finding that it was a call from Jiang Huihui.

"Huihui, what's up?"

Xu Mu asked into the phone.

"Did you beat Huang Dazhuang from the Strength Faction Court to the ground last night?"

Jiang Huihui laughed on the other end.

"No way, did it spread that fast?"

Xu Mu felt a bit helpless.

"Entering and leaving the sect requires registration, and your names are on the list."

Jiang Huihui continued, "My grandfather had Kunlun Mountain prepare guest rooms for you. Hurry up and come to the entrance, I'm waiting here."

"Alright, we'll head over right away."

Xu Mu put his phone away and looked at the people beside him. "Let's head back to the ruins."

...

Arriving at the mountain gate palace area.

Jiang Huihui stood waiting in the distance with her hands in her pockets.

"Huihui."

Xu Mu called out a greeting from afar.

Jiang Huihui first glanced at the women behind Xu Mu and blew a bubble with her gum.

She didn't know why, but seeing so many women following Xu Mu made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Follow me."

Jiang Huihui led Xu Mu and the others to a middle-aged man who was keeping records. She pointed at Xu Mu and said, "This is Xu Mu."

The middle-aged man looked up at Xu Mu, then smiled. "Under the orders of the Third Elder, I am to prepare guest rooms for you. May I ask where you are from?"

"Righteous to the Point of Evil."

Xu Mu said with a smile.

The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, but then simply filled it in. After all, it was the Third Elder's order, and he didn't dare to be negligent.

After completing the procedures, Jiang Huihui led Xu Mu and the others into the inner area of Kunlun Mountain again.

The group had been here last night, but now that it was daytime, the scenery was completely different.

Passing through the outer arena area, they arrived at the foot of a mountain.

Along the mountain path here, there were many buildings made of stacked stones.

After walking up the mountain for about five or six minutes, they saw Jiang Sheng and Tian Ruyi.

"Hahaha! Xu Mu, you really are something. I heard you knocked Huang Dazhuang flat with a single punch yesterday?"

Jiang Sheng walked over with a hearty laugh.

"Senior, it was an unfair victory. He stood still and let me hit him, so of course he couldn't take it."

Xu Mu smiled and raised his fist.

"Let me introduce you. This is the Third Elder of Kunlun Mountain, Tian Ruyi."

Jiang Sheng laughed from the side. "That punch of yours made Old Tian incredibly happy."

"Indeed. During the last martial arts tournament, my disciple was defeated by him. This time, your punch definitely shattered his mindset."

Tian Ruyi smiled and patted Xu Mu on the shoulder. "If my disciple runs into him again, perhaps he can finally get his revenge."

Xu Mu smiled and nodded.

"This guest house is the one I prepared for you. You can rest here for the next few days."

Tian Ruyi said to Jiang Huihui, "Huihui, I'll leave the rest to you. Your grandfather and I still have business to attend to."

"Alright."

Jiang Huihui nodded.

After Tian Ruyi and Jiang Sheng left, Xu Mu and the others entered the building.

They found that the interior was like a small villa. Through the entrance was the living room, surrounded by bedrooms. It had two floors in total, providing plenty of space to live in.

"This area belongs to the front courtyard of Kunlun Mountain. There are no restricted areas around here. You can go watch the arena matches and the training of the younger generation."

Jiang Huihui explained.

"I want to go take a look!"

Xu Ningbing said to Xu Mu, "I want to see the training methods of the younger generation on Kunlun Mountain."

"I'll pass." Xu Mu glanced at Meng Wanyue. "You go with her."

"Alright, Brother Mu." Meng Wanyue nodded.

Xu Mu walked over to the grass outside the building and lay right down to enjoy the morning sun.

Just then, a cute woman with her hair tied in double buns came running down the mountain path above them.

She came over to Xu Mu and asked, "Which one of you beat Huang Dazhuang to the ground last night?"

Xu Mu tilted his head, using his Eye of God to check the woman's identity.
