Invitation from the Cold Immortal Sect

Xu Mu gently touched his ear. This sound transmission technique was indeed advanced; it felt as if Fu Jinyu was speaking right in front of him.

Her voice sounded extremely clear.

"What's the situation on your end?"

Xu Mu asked through the sound transmission array.

As for Youyoufan standing to the side, she couldn't hear it at all. At this moment, she was looking around, preparing to find a place to hide first.

"The sect master of Kunlun Mountain has already gone to the Supreme Elder's side to apply for the Boundary Fire. Some experts have already entered."

Fu Jinyu's voice transmitted over.

Xu Mu continued his sound transmission, "Did the sect master come in? I'm preparing to teleport away now. Is there anyone else around you?"

"The sect master didn't come in, but the Great Elder of Kunlun Mountain led the elders inside."

Fu Jinyu's voice continued to transmit.

"I got it."

After transmitting his message, Xu Mu looked at Youyoufan in front of him. "Beauty, I've already helped you. Whether you can survive or not depends on yourself. I can give you a heads-up: the Great Elder of Kunlun Mountain has entered."

"You..."

Before Youyoufan could finish speaking, Xu Mu vanished from her sight.

...

On the other side, after hearing Fu Jinyu's sound transmission, Xu Mu used a teleportation token to appear right beside her.

The range of the sound transmission array was about ten kilometers, and the same was true for this teleportation token.

As long as sound could be transmitted, teleportation was naturally possible.

"Xu Mu! Are you alright? I heard them say that Kunlun Mountain has an inner realm, so I guessed you would be here."

Fu Jinyu only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xu Mu appear before her.

"Sister Empress, they all say big assets mean no brains, but now it seems that's utter nonsense. You're smarter than me."

Xu Mu smiled and gave a thumbs up. "Where is Guoguo?"

Fu Jinyu said plainly, "She went to look for you elsewhere."

"Mm, let's go out first. As long as we are in the same space, my sound transmission can reach her."

Xu Mu led Fu Jinyu through the barrier here.

He looked at the Boundary Fire floating in mid-air and shook his head slightly. "They are too careless. Aren't they afraid of it being stolen?"

"There is an array carved around the perimeter of this Boundary Fire. If you even touch it, you will be discovered."

Fu Jinyu explained, "That's what the Great Elder said."

"Then we'd better not touch it."

Xu Mu and Fu Jinyu left the place together.

Coming down from the mountain peak, he sent a sound transmission to Tong Guoguo. Before long, the three of them met up.

Xu Mu spread out his perception to search for Wu Tian's whereabouts, but he couldn't find him. He could only return to the previous competition arena.

A little less than half of the people were still here, but they had completely calmed down.

Xu Mu led the two beside him to Ding Hong's side.

Xu Ningbing, Meng Wanyue, Dai Xingluo, and Jiang Huihui all gathered around Xu Mu.

The female disciples of the Cold Immortal Sect still held quite a bit of hostility towards Xu Mu.

After all, it was Xu Mu who had eliminated their highly anticipated Eldest Senior Sister.

But not everyone was like this.

Shui Lingxi smiled and greeted him first, "Xu Mu, did you catch those bad guys?"

"Probably not."

Xu Mu smiled and shook his head.

As he shook his head, he happened to meet Bai Qingyuan's eyes.

The other party was startled for a moment, then gave Xu Mu a slight nod before quickly looking away.

She didn't harbor any hatred toward Xu Mu; he hadn't sneak-attacked her, but had defeated her fair and square.

"Xiao Mu, this elder just said she wants us to join their Cold Immortal Sect."

Xu Ningbing gently tugged at Xu Mu's arm.

"How can that be? You are all people of the Righteously Evil Sect. Our master only has us few disciples. If you leave, he will cry to death."

Xu Mu understood Xu Ningbing's heart, knowing that her true intention was still to go over.

But they couldn't just agree right away, otherwise they would seem too cheap.

Hearing Xu Mu's words, a gleam appeared in Ding Hong's eyes. She originally thought the Righteously Evil Sect was a hidden major sect.

She didn't expect it to just be one master leading a few disciples.

However, this master was definitely a supreme expert, there was no doubt about that.

But no matter how powerful he was, he was ultimately just one person and had limitations.

"Xu Mu, as an elder, let me say a bit more. Your master is definitely an expert, I admit that. But as your strength progresses, the heavenly materials and earthly treasures you need will increase in both grade and quantity."

Ding Hong came in front of Xu Mu and asked with a smile, "Can your master really provide that much?"

"I will definitely follow Brother Mu, it has nothing to do with our master."

Meng Wanyue said expressionlessly.

"Me too."

Dai Xingluo linked her arm with Xu Mu's.

Jiang Huihui, who was standing to the side, originally planned to say something, but then shook her head. She was lucky to enter the top ten this time, and it was all thanks to Dai Xingluo.

Considering she was injured, she wouldn't make a fuss.

As an experienced person, Ding Hong could tell at a glance that these two women were staying in the Righteously Evil Sect because of Xu Mu.

Then it was definitely a lost cause. Their sect only accepted female disciples, they couldn't possibly accept Xu Mu as well.

But as for Xu Ningbing, she definitely had to take her away. First of all, she had a water attribute.

Secondly, the cultivation technique she had mastered might be their Cold Immortal Sect's lost Heaven-grade technique.

"Xu Ningbing, your Qi is of the water attribute, and our Cold Immortal Sect has an abundance of water attribute cultivation techniques. I admit your master is very strong, but if you join our sect, your achievements will be even higher."

Ding Hong said to Xu Ningbing.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to be constrained by others. I still have a company to manage at home. I don't want to join a sect where it takes a long time to visit home."

Xu Ningbing was the CEO of a company, highly skilled at bargaining.

"You think of our Cold Immortal Sect as too strict. Our disciples have a minimum quota every month. As long as the quota is met, the rest of the time is yours. With your strength, it will be very easy to complete."

Ding Hong smiled at Xu Ningbing.

"What is this quota you're talking about?"

Xu Ningbing asked, puzzled.

"Simply put, it's doing tasks for our sect. To put it bluntly, it's an equivalent exchange. The sect teaches its disciples cultivation techniques and combat, so disciples must naturally make some contributions to the sect."

Ding Hong explained.

"Then after joining your sect, if I want to leave, what price do I have to pay?"

Xu Ningbing continued asking.

"This depends on various situations. If you only learn combat techniques, the council of elders will evaluate it, and you just need to be fined some heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and spirit stones."

Ding Hong paused and continued, "If you learn cultivation techniques, especially if you also master the sect's secrets, then it won't be easy... However, as long as you don't learn any of the sect's Earth-grade or higher techniques, I can apply to the sect master so that you can leave at any time."

Hearing this, Xu Ningbing looked at Xu Mu. She felt that this Ding Hong was quite generous.

She didn't intend to learn cultivation techniques anyway; she mainly wanted to learn combat techniques.

At worst, after finishing her studies, she could just leave the sect and compensate them with items.

"Sister, since you want to go, then go. If you suffer any grievances, remember to tell me. Master and I will definitely seek justice for you."

Xu Mu patted Xu Ningbing's shoulder.

[Affection +10]

Xu Ningbing nodded gently, "I know."

Just then, Jiang Cisui walked over from a distance with a smile, "Brother Xu Mu! Come with me!"
