The four people over there all had long black hair and golden eyes.
Even the very old man, whose hair was mostly bald, still had black hair on the remaining parts.
“So this is the real Inner Realm. I’ve never been inside before. It’s quite different from our world over there.”
Chen Xuan looked around. It was still a forested mountain.
But both the plants and trees were completely different from the ruins they had been in earlier. Even the sky was different.
Over there, it was already afternoon, but here it was morning, and they could even feel the dew on the plants around them.
“Be careful. Up ahead are those experts of the White Stone Clan.”
Xu Mu gave a warning.
“Got it.”
Chen Xuan nodded lightly and began to slow his pace, cautiously approaching the front.
The two of them reached the highest point of the slope and spotted the four people below the mountain.
“Brother Mu, what should we do?”
Chen Xuan asked in a low voice.
“Who’s there?”
The old man over there suddenly turned his gaze toward Chen Xuan’s direction. His body turned into a flash of white light, and in the blink of an eye, he was floating in front of Xu Mu and Chen Xuan.
Then, the remaining three also appeared here.
“No way? I was speaking that softly, and you still heard me?”
Chen Xuan looked at the old man, feeling a bit helpless.
“Breakthrough Realm, third stage, Body Limit Breakthrough. Their physique and every organ undergo a qualitative leap. Their hearing and vision far exceed ordinary people.”
Xu Mu explained from the side.
“Who are you people? Show your faces!”
The black-haired woman in silver armor swept her golden eyes over the two of them.
Her long black hair was perfectly smooth, and she had a noble face.
She wore two earrings—delicate gold threads hanging with white stones the size of a fingernail.
“Beautiful lady, we are from the Nine Li Clan. We came here to cooperate with you.”
Xu Mu raised his hand, and a dark golden Gu insect followed his palm, falling to the ground.
At the same time, he used his divine eye to check the people in front of him. He didn’t identify any female lead or supporting characters.
The person with the highest status here should be this woman. She was also a Sacred Maiden, named Lao Jie Huan.
Xu Mu wasn’t surprised by the name. The White Stone Clan’s surnames were indeed unique.
After encountering Xianling Nan last time, he had specifically researched this subject.
Xianling and Lao Jie were both surnames of the White Stone Clan.
“I told you to take off those black robes!”
Lao Jie Huan’s face darkened.
Xu Mu immediately activated an illusion array, pulling off the hood of his black robe, revealing his silver hair and red eyes.
Seeing this, Lao Jie Huan asked, “What do you want to cooperate with us on?”
“What is your current goal? I noticed you’ve sent a lot of people to the Outer Realm.”
Xu Mu asked with a smile.
“Hah, why should I tell you?”
Lao Jie Huan gave a faint smile. “I don’t think you’re from the Nine Li Clan at all.”
“What do you mean?”
Xu Mu spread his arms. “Don’t I look like one?”
“If you were truly of the Nine Li Clan, wouldn’t you know that we, the White Stone Clan, are at irreconcilable odds with you?”
Lao Jie Huan’s eyes suddenly turned menacing. “Cripple their cultivation. I’ll interrogate them thoroughly later.”
Swish, swish!
The two middle-aged men behind her moved instantly, lunging at Xu Mu and Chen Xuan respectively.
Both Xu Mu and Chen Xuan scattered at the same time.
Swish!
A black shadow flew out from Xu Mu’s body, charging at one of the middle-aged men.
That middle-aged man dodged easily and continued his attack on Xu Mu.
Whoom!
Xu Mu’s figure instantly appeared on the shadow, now right beside Lao Jie Huan.
Lao Jie Huan didn’t react in time, but she relied on instinct, raising her hand to defend herself.
Swish!
Xu Mu’s long sword pierced through her palm at incredible speed.
Boom!
Then came a punch, right to her chest.
With Xu Mu’s terrifying physique and his extraordinary qi, one punch caved in the silver armor she wore.
Lao Jie Huan spat out a mouthful of blood, and her body was sent flying backward.
The sword that had pierced her palm slid out as well.
Swish!
Xu Mu took a big step forward, moving faster than she flew back. He grabbed her elegant face and forcefully pressed her to the ground.
His speed was so fast that everything happened in a flash. The old man not far away hadn’t even managed to release his qi.
By the time the old man reacted, Lao Jie Huan was already pinned to the ground, with a sword at her neck.
“Huan Huan!”
The old man’s eyes widened as he yelled.
Seeing this, the two middle-aged men also stopped immediately. “Sacred Maiden!”
“Oh? It looks like I caught the right person. I just grabbed some random woman, and she turns out to be your Sacred Maiden.”
Xu Mu said with a laugh. “Don’t anyone move. I tend to get shaky when I’m nervous.”
“Heh, you despicable Nine Li Clan bastard. If you kill me, you’ll die too.”
Lao Jie Huan let out a cold laugh.
“I might die, but you will definitely die!”
Xu Mu said coldly. “Clearly, my wife Xianling Nan is the real Sacred Maiden. Who do you think you are?”
“What? Xianling Nan is your wife?”
Lao Jie Huan’s eyes suddenly widened.
The three over there also looked utterly shocked.
“That’s right. Last time, some villains took her out for auction. I bought her, and we fell in love at first sight. We had a deep and intimate connection on the spot.”
Xu Mu said flatly. “Later, I found out she wanted to go back to the Inner Realm, so I let her return.”
“Hahaha! Xianling Nan, so you’re no longer a virgin. Then what right do you have to stir up trouble under the name of Sacred Maiden?”
Lao Jie Huan said to the three people opposite, “Don’t worry about me. Spread this news immediately!”
Xu Mu frowned. He had just made that up off the cuff. He hoped Xianling Nan wouldn’t hold a grudge against him.
“You two—one of you spread the news, the other go back and tell the Clan Leader. I’ll stay here.”
The black-haired old man said to the two middle-aged men.
“Yes, sir!”
The two immediately headed forward. They stopped in front of a huge rock, placed their hands on it, and vanished.
Xu Mu said to himself, So here, just like over there.
The intersection between the Inner Realm and the Outer Realm is all concealed by arrays.
If you leave through that exit, you’ll likely step into the true Inner Realm—what they call the dimensional fragment.
The black-haired old man suddenly turned his eyes to Chen Xuan. As soon as he took a step, Chen Xuan darted back to Xu Mu’s side.
“Senior, you’d better sit still. I really don’t want her to die.”
Xu Mu said with a smile.
Rumble!
Just then, a series of tremors erupted from the distant mountain range.
The black-haired old man frowned slightly, then shot into the sky, leaving a trail of white light.
Xu Mu and Chen Xuan exchanged glances. Had someone else come in?
But before that, there was something more important to do.
Xu Mu grabbed Lao Jie Huan by the hair. “Beautiful lady, what is the purpose of your operation this time? Tell me, and I might consider letting you go. Otherwise, you know the consequences?”
“Consequences? Isn’t it just killing me? Do you think I’m afraid of death?”
Lao Jie Huan sneered.
“No. Some things are worse than death.”
Xu Mu smiled at Chen Xuan. “Old Chen, you know what to do, right?”
“Of course, Mu. To be honest, the moment I saw her, I was already on Weibo, getting all into it.”
Chen Xuan’s face twisted into a lecherous grin.
“You’re still too slow. By the time you hit Weibo, I was already on Kuaishou, then clicked into Bilibili, and started playing on Douyin.”
Xu Mu had barely finished speaking when, using his own strength, he tore open the other man’s deformed armor.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
