The Feeling of Half Green

Xu Mu was shocked in his heart; she was indeed a top-tier master.

The perception of danger was almost engraved in her genes. Even though she couldn't detect him, when Xu Mu approached her body, she instinctively reacted.

Bai Qingyuan coughed frantically over there, trying to spit out what was in her mouth, but there was no way.

These few masters were all dealt with. The remaining ones with average strength were easily taken down by Xu Mu.

Having just been attacked, they still put up some symbolic resistance.

Little did they know, the more they resisted, the faster the toxins reacted. Eventually, everyone here fell down.

Xu Mu ignored Bai Qingyuan and let her struggle for a while longer. With such a master, what if she suddenly attacked him while he was taking her out?

He casually picked up two women and walked towards the distant exit.

Now Xu Mu and Tong Guoguo could not only see the other people around them but also clearly see the passage leaving this place.

The two of them didn't go out. According to what Cang Li said earlier, as long as they went out and came back in from the outside, the formation here would have an effect on them again.

To save trouble, they didn't leave the formation but just threw the people in their hands out of the cave entrance.

Tong Guoguo also took two people and threw them out of the formation.

Xu Mu looked at a corpse over there and a very seriously injured woman. After hesitating for a moment, he still took them all out and didn't let his Spirit-Swallowing Holy Gu devour the corpse.

Finally, he stepped forward, picked up Bai Qingyuan, who was paralyzed on the ground and unable to move, and carried her on his shoulder.

Tong Guoguo also brought out the two middle-aged women.

This time, the two of them also followed and left the formation.

After coming outside, everyone here saw Xu Mu and Tong Guoguo.

"Xu Mu, it's you?"

Bai Qingyuan found herself being carried on Xu Mu's shoulder, her face looking a bit unnatural.

It must have been him who touched her there just now.

Xu Mu put Bai Qingyuan on the ground, clapped his hands, and said, "That's right, it's me. I saved you, otherwise, it wouldn't be just this one person who died."

The few people here all looked at the corpse on the ground, their faces all looking very ugly.

"Xu Mu! What exactly is going on here?"

Bai Qingyuan clenched her fists tightly.

"It's very simple. In the formation inside, we could only see ourselves. We couldn't see anyone else, couldn't hear, and couldn't even feel the Qi released."

Xu Mu looked at the few people here, "Then someone might have released Qi and accidentally attacked others, causing you to mistakenly think there were enemies and start killing each other."

The few people from the Cold Immortal Sect nodded secretly; it was indeed like that.

They just couldn't see anything and suddenly felt someone attacking, so they were forced to counterattack and then continuously attacked in all directions.

"Xu Mu, how did you crack this formation?"

The oldest woman here looked at Xu Mu and asked.

She was the Third Elder of the Cold Immortal Sect, named Zhou Yan. During the previous martial arts tournament, she was in the audience.

She also saw with her own eyes that Xu Mu defeated Bai Qingyuan.

"Senior, to be honest with you, I know a little about formations."

Xu Mu raised his hand, and a large number of formation runes and characters flashed around his body. "For this formation, I spent a long time cracking it."

Seeing this, Bai Qingyuan and the others were all shocked. They didn't expect Xu Mu to know formations!

"How long did you spend?"

Zhou Yan continued to ask.

Xu Mu took out his phone and glanced at it, "It's been almost two days."

"So you came over two days ago. We just arrived here not long ago."

Zhou Yan nodded slightly and then asked, "Did you find any treasures?"

"No, I was trapped until now. I didn't dare to go deeper. What if there are other dangers?"

Xu Mu waved his hand, "I made your bodies temporarily disobedient. This was also to make it easier to bring you out. You'll recover in a while."

"Xu Mu, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, something might have really happened to us."

Bai Qingyuan said softly.

"My sister is now considered to have joined your sect. We're on the same side, don't be so polite."

Xu Mu said with a smile, "I'll just wait here for a while longer. When your bodies recover, I'll leave."

"You're not going to explore this ruin?"

Zhou Yan asked curiously.

"It's too dangerous. I don't have a master like an elder by my side. With just the two of us, what if something happens?"

Xu Mu glanced at Tong Guoguo next to him.

None of the people from the Cold Immortal Sect present doubted Xu Mu's words.

For example, that Xu Mu deliberately provoked them to fight among themselves.

Because Xu Mu had no need to do that at all. Just now in the formation, all of them couldn't move, and the key was that they couldn't see Xu Mu.

He could have done anything to anyone in the Cold Immortal Sect.

But he didn't do that; instead, he saved all the people from the Cold Immortal Sect.

"Xu Mu, where are you going after you leave?"

Bai Qingyuan asked suddenly, but after she asked this question, she regretted it.

He had nothing to do with her, so asking such a question was a bit abrupt.

"I'm going to the next ruin. Since I didn't find any treasures in this ruin, I definitely have to set off quickly. If others get there first, the loss outweighs the gain."

Xu Mu smiled and looked at Bai Qingyuan.

"Where are you going for your next ruin? Just tell me the province, and I'll see if we might run into each other."

Since Xu Mu had answered the question, Bai Qingyuan could only follow up.

"The northern part of the Central Plains."

Xu Mu waved his hand and said, "I think it's better if we don't run into each other. After all, we're going to grab treasures. When the time comes, it won't be easy to split the treasures."

Bai Qingyuan nodded slightly, "You have a point. But you saved my life. Even if we really meet, I'm willing to give the treasure to you."

"Thank you, you're a good person. I shouldn't have scolded you during the competition before."

Xu Mu's opinion of this woman changed a little.

He used to think she looked down on him; maybe she just had that kind of personality.

"Hmm? You scolded me during the competition?"

Bai Qingyuan was a bit puzzled.

"I said you had a flat... ahem, nothing."

Xu Mu had sort of felt it just now. At least it was better than Meng Wanyue, and could be considered above average.

Just then, Zhou Yan slowly raised her arm, "I can move now."

"That's good. Senior, I'll leave the rest of the people to you to take care of. We'll be leaving first."

Xu Mu didn't want to waste time here. There were three ruins, and he had to get there as soon as possible.

Zhou Yan nodded.

Xu Mu said goodbye to the few people and left with Tong Guoguo.

...

Xu Mu stopped for gas halfway. Taking advantage of the time getting gas, he called Fu Jinyu again and told her the purpose of this trip.

After that, he rushed non-stop to the second ruin.

After arriving at the destination, Xu Mu sent a message to Fu Jinyu again and learned that she would arrive in about half an hour.

"Let's wait here for a bit."

Xu Mu looked at Tong Guoguo beside him.

The two of them sat by the street of this township. The sky was getting dark now, and there were far fewer people on the street.

Nowadays, the nights in the village were long devoid of their former liveliness. Everyone had moved to the city, and once the current generation of elderly passed away, the village would be left practically abandoned.

"Guoguo, hide."

Xu Mu suddenly pulled Tong Guoguo up. Within the range of his perception, he had spotted Wu Tian.

Clearly, out of the two relics the guy had acquired, one of them was located right here.

Xu Mu stroked his chin in thought, wondering if he could just finish him off directly this time.

"Holy crap! Something's wrong!"

Xu Mu suddenly cursed under his breath. He noticed that behind Wu Tian, there was a woman.

He even had a nagging feeling of being half-cuckolded.
