So Cold

That woman was about thirty years old, wearing a blue-and-white porcelain patterned qipao that stretched tightly across her impressive chest.

Another E-cup bombshell.

Compared to someone like Xu Ningbing, her overall figure was slightly more voluptuous.

Overall, she looked like a noble lady from the Republic of China era.

Even though it wasn't raining, she held an oil-paper umbrella.

Yue Wangshu, once one of the Three Ancestors of the Valley of Ten Thousand Races, had long since reached the Realm-Breaking stage in strength.

Xu Mu had some interactions with her in the past and had even helped her protect the members of the Valley of Ten Thousand Races who followed her.

But now, she was actually with Wu Tian.

Although she was indeed part of Wu Tian's harem in the original plot, Xu Mu still felt a bit uncomfortable. It seemed that he needed to put more effort into maintaining relationships with these so-called harem members.

Since they last parted ways, he hadn't sought out Yue Wangshu again.

Obviously, during this time, Wu Tian had come into contact with this woman because of some incident.

"What's wrong?" Tong Guoguo asked softly from the side.

"It's nothing. I just sensed an expert within my range who won't be easy to deal with," Xu Mu said quietly. "Let's avoid meeting them for now and let them explore the ruins first."

Tong Guoguo nodded, hiding at the intersection with Xu Mu.

The two of them walked right past the street in front of Xu Mu and Tong Guoguo, disappearing at the end of the road.

Xu Mu kept observing them through his perception. Judging from their conversation, Wu Tian was always the one taking the initiative.

Yue Wangshu only gave simple responses.

Given their relationship, they probably weren't that familiar with each other yet. Xu Mu definitely couldn't let Wu Tian get what he wanted.

After the two left, Xu Mu and Tong Guoguo waited a little longer until a BYD Xia parked near the intersection.

Xu Mu patted Tong Guoguo's shoulder and smiled, saying, "Let's go, our person is here."

Fu Jinyu got out of the car. Today, she was still wearing a neat set of casual clothes, and even though it was night, she wore sunglasses.

"Sister Empress!" Xu Mu greeted her.

Fu Jinyu waved off the driver first and then walked toward Xu Mu. "Xu Mu."

"Alright, let's talk as we walk. Let's head to the destination first."

Xu Mu waved to the two people beside him and walked toward the location of the ruins.

Along the way, he told Fu Jinyu everything he had discovered this time.

Hearing this, Fu Jinyu's face was full of shock; she had never known about this matter.

"Xu Mu, you've given me some incredible information."

Fu Jinyu looked somewhat moved. Xu Mu had absolutely no obligation to tell her this.

[Favorability +15]

"We're all on the same side."

Xu Mu glanced at Fu Jinyu, revealing a meaningful smile.

Fu Jinyu suddenly trembled, suddenly remembering that she had previously promised Xu Mu that she would let him have a taste of her food.

But every time it was too rushed, and it never succeeded.

Fu Jinyu didn't know what was wrong with her, but just thinking about it made her heart race and her cheeks burn.

Finally, the group arrived at a field outside the town. There was a dirt mound here, about five or six meters high.

When he first came here, Xu Mu had asked an old man nearby about it.

The old man also mentioned this dirt mound, saying it was the tomb of a famous person from the past, and it had been there for as long as he could remember.

More than thirty years ago, a group of tomb raiders had dug several holes in it, but they all returned empty-handed.

Xu Mu led the two of them into a hole in the dirt mound and found a blank stone stele lying on the ground.

"This is the place."

Xu Mu released his Qi and entered the ruins below.

Fu Jinyu and Tong Guoguo also stepped in together.

After entering the ruins, Xu Mu found that it was empty underneath, and he plummeted downward.

He executed the Cloud Step, treading on the air a few times, and finally landed steadily on the ground.

He looked up. The height here was about forty to fifty meters, and there were no footholds around.

In other words, even if ancient martial artists happened to enter, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven for those with low cultivation realms to get out.

At the same time, Fu Jinyu and Tong Guoguo also appeared, falling from above.

Fu Jinyu spread her wings made of Qi, while Tong Guoguo, who had also learned the Cloud Step given by Xu Mu, tapped the air lightly a few times and landed slowly.

"I didn't expect the entrance and exit of these ruins to be built so high up. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to get out at all."

Tong Guoguo raised her head and looked up.

Xu Mu, on the other hand, looked around and found quite a few dried bones nearby.

The environment here was quite different from the outside.

Outside was a vast stretch of farmland planted with crops, but the land here was completely barren, without a single weed.

"It seems this place is still quite dangerous."

Boom!

Just then, a tremor came from the distance.

The ground beneath Xu Mu and the others began to shake.

"Did someone come in earlier?"

Fu Jinyu asked from the side.

"That's right. I'm not the only one who knows about these ruins."

Xu Mu led the two of them deeper. Since Wu Tian was here this time, there was a high probability that these ruins held treasures.

As they continued deeper, they found the ground in the distance shaking again. This time, it wasn't an attack.

Rather, it sounded like the trampling of animals during a migration.

Through his perception, Xu Mu checked the distance and discovered Wu Tian and Yue Wangshu.

In front of the two was a dense horde of wild beasts. These beasts all emitted a freezing aura, looking like gorillas but with two horns on their heads.

These beasts surged toward Wu Tian and Yue Wangshu like a tidal wave.

The two erupted with power simultaneously. Wu Tian, charging at the front, was covered in black energy.

He threw continuous punches forward, and black flames exploded one after another in front of him.

The beasts were sent flying one by one, but the remaining ones showed no fear. Like lifeless puppets, they continued to pounce at them.

In the blink of an eye, countless beasts had arrived in front of them.

Bang!

These beasts didn't launch any attacks; instead, upon reaching them, they began to self-destruct.

What scattered out wasn't flesh and blood, but ice and freezing air.

Bang, bang, bang...

These beasts all exploded after getting close to them.

Wu Tian and Yue Wangshu both used their Qi to block, and these attacks did not harm them.

They all looked up and found that the freezing air emitted had flown into the sky.

The next moment, it began to snow from the sky, with large snowflakes the size of palms.

They fell densely, obscuring their vision.

Meanwhile.

Heavy snow also began to fall on Xu Mu's side. He looked up and saw that the entrance to the ruins had disappeared.

Clearly, the array formation here had been activated.

He raised his hand, and a large snowflake landed in his palm.

It did not melt from his body heat.

He felt it carefully and then smiled. "This place is indeed extraordinary. It's another Heavenly Dao level array formation."

"A Heavenly Dao level array formation?"

Tong Guoguo's expression turned solemn.

"That's right. With my current array formation skills, I can see through even a level-nine array, but I can't see through this one in front of us."

Xu Mu pointed at the snowflake resting on his palm. "There is a very well-hidden array formation on every single one of these snowflakes. Even I can only make out a few runes."

Hearing this, Fu Jinyu's eyes filled with disbelief. To think that every single one of the countless snowflakes actually contained an array.

"Xu Mu, I feel so cold."

Tong Guoguo suddenly shivered.
