Going to Find Shi Fumeng

You have to understand this kind of earthen house structure; there were even weathered holes in the adjacent walls.

At such a close distance, with the sky just beginning to lighten, Fu Jinyu's voice was naturally heard by an elder inside.

As the elder got up, the other disciples around also followed suit.

Shi Yao was the first to rush out of the earthen house. When he saw Xu Mu in front of him, his face was full of surprise, "Xu Mu! It's you?"

While he was speaking, the others from the Strength Court also walked out one after another.

When Ning Mei saw Xu Mu, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Xu Mu! Why are you here? Oh right! You obtained three ruins in a row, so it's normal for you to know about this place."

"What's the situation with you guys? You've reached your destination, so why are you resting outside? Aren't you afraid the treasures will be snatched away?"

Xu Mu asked curiously.

"That's because almost all the treasures inside have been taken away. This place is located in Liangzhou, relatively close to our sect, but the same goes for Kunlun Mountain."

Shi Yao explained, "If they want to head east, the first ruin they pass through will definitely be here."

"I see. Are you saying the people from Kunlun Mountain have already been inside?"

Xu Mu stroked his chin in deep thought, considering whether he should go in again.

"Not just Kunlun Mountain, the experts from the Weapon Sect have also gone in."

Ning Mei added, "We didn't expect our luck to be so bad. This time, we only got some relatively low-level natural treasures."

"I see."

Xu Mu nodded inwardly. No wonder they were sleeping outside; it turned out they were resting on the spot after exploring.

"Do you still want to go in and take a look? We are roughly familiar with this ruin. I can have Ning Mei accompany you for another trip."

The Third Elder of the Strength Court spoke up.

He had long memorized the Sect Master's orders.

The Xu Mu in front of him was not simple. With the cultivation of the Strength Court, he would definitely leave everyone in the dust.

In the future Martial Arts Tournament, the champion would definitely belong to the Strength Court.

However, they also knew that poaching Xu Mu wouldn't be that easy.

Ning Mei was the key to this, especially since he learned from the Sect Master that Ning Mei was also very interested in Xu Mu.

Previously, Sect Master Ning Kai had always wanted Ning Mei to marry, but she just wouldn't agree.

Now that he knew Ning Mei was interested in Xu Mu, Ning Kai would definitely be anxious to play matchmaker.

Xu Mu smiled and said, "Since we're already here, let's go in and take a look."

It took them two or three hours to get here. It would be unreasonable to just leave without even taking a look inside.

"Alright."

Ning Mei nodded, "Then I'll accompany you."

Xu Mu and the others bid farewell to the people of the Strength Court and headed to the entrance of the ruin here.

The location of the ruin was in the courtyard of an uninhabited earthen house.

On the side was a water well built with bluestone. However, this well had obviously not been used for a long time.

The stones were already covered with moss.

Ning Mei pointed at this water well and said, "The ruin is in the well. It's best to cover your body with Qi, otherwise you'll get soaked."

As she spoke, Ning Mei released her Qi first and then jumped into the well.

When her body came into contact with the well water, the water started to boil.

Xu Mu glanced at Fu Jinyu and Tong Guoguo beside him, and they also went in together.

At the bottom of the well, there stood a stone stele.

Xu Mu and the others touched the stone stele with their hands and entered the ruin.

At this moment, the group found themselves in a primeval mountain range. In the middle of the peak ahead of them was a cave.

The door at the entrance of the cave was made of stone, standing a full five or six meters high.

Led by Ning Mei, the group arrived at the stone door. After entering, they found it to be an unremarkable cave.

The surroundings gave off a dark and damp feeling.

"It wasn't originally like this. There used to be an array formation here, but it was broken by array masters from Kunlun Mountain," Ning Mei explained from the side.

Xu Mu nodded slightly; no wonder the surroundings looked like this.

He squatted on the ground and carefully examined the surrounding arrays. To his surprise, he found that there were other arrays still operating.

Xu Mu referred to this remaining array as the quantity over quality type.

The level of the array was only level seven, which wasn't considered high, but there were a full seven or eight level-seven arrays stacked on top of it.

These arrays compensated for each other's flaws, ultimately causing the array masters of Kunlun Mountain to miss them entirely.

But Xu Mu was different. His mastery over array formations was at a conceptual level.

As long as it was a level-seven array, no matter how many there were, he could instantly provide the solution like a human calculator.

And the array this time was exactly like that.

Xu Mu continued to walk deeper inside, with the three women following closely beside him.

Ning Mei stood to the side and explained, pointing ahead, "Look at the battle traces over there. Both Kunlun Mountain and the Artifact Sect tacitly chose to let Jiang Cisui and Yun Yao fight. The elders didn't intervene."

"Who won?" Xu Mu asked with a smile, even though he already knew the answer.

"Jiang Cisui, of course. We were nearby at the time. He crushed his opponent with an overwhelming stance and subsequently took the cultivation methods from here."

As Ning Mei said this, the way she looked at Xu Mu changed again.

The stronger Jiang Cisui was, the more it highlighted Xu Mu's formidable power. One had to remember that Xu Mu was only at the Grandmaster realm.

At this time, Xu Mu arrived at the side of the cave. He raised his hand and pressed it against the wall.

Buzz!

Array runes began to appear on his body. A ring of array formations struck the wall, and the runes that appeared on the wall disconnected at that moment.

Xu Mu didn't stop, and the array runes on his body multiplied.

The arrays on the wall were also unlocked layer by layer.

Finally, the array was completely dispelled, and Xu Mu walked right into the wall.

Seeing this, Ning Mei's eyes were filled with disbelief.

How was this possible?

The array master brought by Kunlun Mountain this time was level eight, which was already considered a top-tier array master.

Even he hadn't discovered the hidden door here, yet Xu Mu had actually found it.

[Affection +5]

Ning Mei was becoming increasingly interested in Xu Mu.

Fu Jinyu shot a faint glance at Ning Mei, thinking she truly hadn't seen much of the world.

The group walked inside together and found a small cave, about the size of a courtyard house in a village outside.

In the distance, piles of spirit stones and heavenly treasures were stacked.

"Grade-nine heavenly treasures? And more than one!"

Ning Mei was stunned on the spot. She hadn't expected there to be so many treasures left here.

Xu Mu looked at Ning Mei and smiled. "It seems your luck is pretty good. Following us, you've obtained heavenly treasures again."

"No! I didn't contribute anything to getting these treasures, I can't take them." Ning Mei hurriedly waved her hands.

"Are you sure?" Xu Mu asked with a smile.

"Of course. I still know what I should take and what I shouldn't." Ning Mei shook her head slightly.

"Alright, I like you. I really am going to give you all the treasures here today."

Xu Mu smiled at Ning Mei. "Don't refuse."

[Favorability +10]

Ning Mei simply couldn't believe it. These were all incredibly valuable items, yet Xu Mu was just giving them to her like it was nothing.

Xu Mu stroked his chin. Once this was over, he planned to go find Shi Fumeng to meet this profit-driven, scheming woman.

He was a cautious man; he certainly couldn't wait until the last minute to seek her out.

With a hidden threat on his mind, he absolutely had to resolve it ahead of time.
