Mu Lingjiu nodded.

"I plan to go to the Red Sea front first and take a look. I won't stay here for long. Keep an eye on the passage I took in the sea. There might be others coming through. If their cultivation is higher, you don't have to defend this place to the death. You can go directly to Ailao Mountain, the border between Qingzhou and the Red Sea."

"Yes, sir." Mu Yuyun bowed.

After saying goodbye to Mu Yuyun, Mu Lingjiu led a small group of people to the front line.

Cui Yufeng on the front line has already besieged Qingzhou and ordered his men to drain Qingzhou's spiritual energy, forcing them to leave the city to fight.

The mayor of Qingzhou is Mu Lingjiu's third uncle, Mu Liyuan.

Mu Liyuan’s cultivation level has now reached the level of a Spiritual Master, but he also has many talented people under his command.

Mu Liyuan is Mu Litian’s younger brother, and he usually provides him with a lot of resources, so Shengzhou also has many death warriors.

When Mu Lingjiu and his men were approaching the main force, they saw a group of men moving near Ailao Mountain.

And this group of people was moving very fast. They were arranging something in Ailao Mountain.

Mu Lingjiu ordered his men not to move forward.

"We will split into two groups. Leave three of you with me, and the rest will go to the other group to meet us."

After making the arrangements, Mu Lingjiu hid in the bushes.

The people who took action were a formation master, a sword cultivator, a talisman cultivator, and a healer.

Several of them were moving very quickly, setting up formations nearby.

Mu Lingjiu is familiar with these array patterns.

"A killing array and a trapping array. Are you trying to trap people to death in here?"

"That formation master looks familiar." Luo Luo said.

"This person is Chen Lin's direct disciple, Lin Chenyuan." Mu Lingjiu said.

Luo Luo nodded immediately, "Yes, yes, it's him. I was wondering why he looked so familiar. Master, this Lin Chenyuan is no ordinary person."

Mu Lingjiu nodded in agreement.

"Um."

"Then how does the master plan to deal with Lin Chenyuan?"

Mu Lingjiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Wait and you'll know."

When Lin Chenyuan had almost finished making arrangements, they all hid stealthily in the dark.

"Hello."

Suddenly there was a scream and Lin Chenyuan was startled.

He immediately turned his head and found that it was Mu Lingjiu. Lin Chenyuan was surprised and confused.

“You, you, you…”

He recognized Mu Lingjiu, but he didn't dare to recognize Mu Lingjiu.

“You really are…”

Mu Lingjiu raised an eyebrow and nodded, "Well, what are you doing here?"

Lin Chenyuan's throat choked, knowing that his plan had been exposed. However, he did not have the confidence to deal with Mu Lingjiu, so he immediately said to the people around him:

"Let's go."

The swordsman next to Lin Chenyuan hurriedly said, "Didn't you say you were going to stay here? Why are you leaving? This little sister..."

The sword cultivator glanced at Mu Lingjiu and said, "Little sister, you are also a Spiritual Venerable. We are at the same level. If there is nothing to do, don't attack each other. It will be bad for everyone."

Mu Lingjiu just smiled and said, "Lin Tianzong, when did you become a Qingzhou person?"

Lin Tianzong was shocked. He didn't expect that the other party knew him.

“You, you are…”

"Do you remember that I took you to the Zhongzhou Spirit Mine?" Mu Lingjiu asked.

Lin Tianzong widened his eyes in disbelief.

"It's you!" He really didn't recognize Mu Lingjiu.

"Why are you like this? Why are you here? Thanks to you, I got a lot of resources for cultivation."

"When did you enter Qingzhou?" Mu Lingjiu asked.

Lin Tianzong sighed, "This is a long story. We're all here for a little money. Qingzhou offered me this amount."

Lin Tianzong held up a finger and asked, "Guess how much it is?"

"Ten thousand spirit stones."

"How did you guess so right!" Lin Tianzong was filled with shock. "As expected of you. Now that I have the spirit stones, I naturally have to do something. However, I won't go to the battlefield. My main purpose is to protect him."

Lin Tianzong pointed at Lin Chenyuan next to him.

"Do you want to join us? You and I have a connection. You helped me back then, and now that I'm on the rise, I'll take you with me."

Mu Lingjiu looked at Lin Chenyuan, "What do you think?"

Lin Chenyuan laughed dryly. "Empress, you are shortening my lifespan. Please let me go. I have no choice."

"Hmm? Tell me about it."

"My wife and daughter were captured by Mu Lingyun. He forced me to surrender, and I had no choice..." Lin Chenyuan sighed, looking extremely helpless about this.

"I see." Mu Lingjiu nodded. "You also know my position. What do you think about what to do next?"

"If you let me go, I will pretend that I have never seen you." Lin Chenyuan didn't want to provoke Mu Lingjiu, and it would be best if he could get away with it.

"You set up an array here to trap our army. Do you think I will let you go easily?" Mu Lingjiu asked.

Lin Chenyuan said quickly: "I, I am not happy about it either. Please forgive me and let me go."

Mu Lingjiu laughed, "That won't do. There's no way we can let someone get away when two armies are fighting. Come with me, and I promise I won't kill you."

The healer and talisman cultivator behind Lin Chenyuan looked at each other, and naturally they were unwilling to stay.

They didn't know Mu Lingjiu's identity. They just saw that Mu Lingjiu was alone, while they had so many people, so it was impossible for him to lose.

"Lin Chenyuan, just take action directly. There's no need to waste time talking to her."

Almost at the same time, the two men attacked.

A talisman was thrown towards Mu Lingjiu. Mu Lingjiu raised his hand and slashed the opponent's formation with a sword. He moved to the opposite side almost in an instant and put the sword against the opponent's neck.

This feeling of impending death shocked the other party.

"Please, please spare my life!"

Mu Lingjiu glanced at the man and sneered, "Lin Chenyuan, let's go."

Lin Chenyuan frowned, rolled his eyes, and seemed to think of something, and said to Mu Lingjiu:

"If I'm arrested, Mu Lingyun will definitely not let my wife and daughter go. So, please don't reveal the news of my arrest for now. Once this matter is over, you can let me go back."

Mu Lingjiu just looked at Lin Chenyuan, "Why should I agree to you?"

Lin Chenyuan was stunned for a moment. Yes, Mu Lingjiu had no reason to agree to any of his conditions.

He was silent for a moment and then said, "I have some array patterns on my hands. I can give them to you."

Mu Lingjiu stretched out his hand, and Lin Chenyuan obediently handed over some of the big formations.

After Mu Lingjiu confirmed that it was correct, he took it in his hand and said to Lin Chenyuan:

"Come with me."

Lin Chenyuan had no choice but to follow Mu Lingjiu obediently.

Lin Tianzong was dumbfounded.

"Hey, what am I going to do if you leave? Where are you going?"

"Of course you will go together." Mu Lingjiu looked at the talisman master and healer who were about to run away.

The two men were reluctant to stay, after all, it looked very dangerous.

However, at Mu Lingjiu's suggestion, they had no choice but to follow.

Lin Tianzong followed Mu Lingjiu with a look of emotion on his face.

"I didn't expect your cultivation to be so strong now. Did you suppress it on purpose back then? We can be considered as not knowing each other until we fight, right?"
