"Could this be the explanation the Prefect gave me?"
Zhou Mu sneered and said.
Clearly, Wu Yuan was demonstrating his power as a sage. Unfortunately, if Zhou Mu were an ordinary martial artist, he might not have dared to stand here, let alone speak to Wu Yuan like this.
Therefore, Zhou Mu remained very calm after Wu Yuan revealed his strength.
This surprised Wu Yuan somewhat.
Then his spiritual senses were released.
To find out Zhou Mu's cultivation level.
However, to his surprise, Zhou Mu seemed to be shrouded in a thin mist, and he couldn't see through him no matter what.
"You... I'm quite surprised. No wonder you dare to speak to me like this." Wu Yuan smiled. "Where are you from?"
"Dahuang City." Zhou Mu said.
“Since you’re from the capital, you must know Elder Zhao Quan of the Cangyu Holy Land, right?” Wu Yuan said with a smile.
Bringing up Zhao Quan was simply an attempt to use the name of the Cangyu Holy Land to put pressure on Zhou Mu.
The Azure Feather Holy Land is a renowned existence in the Great Wilderness Domain and even the entire Desolate Heaven Domain, especially with its clan leader being a Saint and elders who are infinitely close to Saint Kings.
Even the Sword God Palace, currently at the pinnacle of power, would have to think twice before taking action against the Azure Feather Holy Land.
It's a pity.
Wu Yuan met Zhou Mu today.
Seeing Wu Yuan's expression, Zhou Mu couldn't bear to tell the truth. He could only suppress his laughter and listen to Wu Yuan talk about how close he was to the Cangyu Holy Land. When he mentioned Zhao Quan, he used some extremely nauseatingly obsequious words.
Finally, Su Yuan, who was still completely confused, spoke up and asked, "You mean the Cangyu Holy Land?"
Wu Yuan became interested and, fearing that Su Yuan might not have heard clearly, repeated himself, "That's right, it's the Cangyu Holy Land, a terrifying place that is said to possess several saints."
"Uh..." Su Yuan heard clearly, hesitated for a moment, and slowly said, "It seems that the Azure Feather Holy Land is gone..."
“I know, Cangyu Holy Land is powerful, and I also think… What!” Wu Yuan’s eyes widened suddenly. “What did you say? Gone? What’s gone? Impossible, even if you’re gone, it won’t be gone.”
He lost his composure.
Once he realized it, he resumed his previous expression.
"nonsense."
Wu Yuan shook his head and said to himself.
Zhou Mu had no time to linger here any longer. At this moment, he already knew that the person in front of him definitely did not know the location of the mountain stronghold.
So, he went out with Su Yuan.
It was already night, so we quickly found an inn to rest.
The next morning.
Su Yuan got up early.
He was undoubtedly familiar with the place where he had lived for more than ten years. When he was about to take Zhou Mu to have breakfast, he passed by the room where Zhou Mu was resting and found that the guy was still fast asleep. Seeing his carefree appearance, he found it delightful.
Su Yuan shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to go out for a stroll.
He had calmed down by now.
Now that things have come to this, we can only proceed step by step.
At noon, Zhou Mu finally woke up and lazily yawned.
He got up and went to look for Su Yuan.
Just then, Su Yuan was waiting for him in the corridor.
"Let's go eat."
Zhou Mudao.
Su Yuan shook his head and handed the already packed meal to Zhou Mu. "Eat up. After you finish, we'll go find the Ye family."
Zhou Mu was somewhat surprised.
While taking the food, he carefully examined Su Yuan, saying, "I suddenly feel that you are a little different from yesterday."
"What's different?"
"You're like a completely different person, but I can't quite put my finger on it."
Zhou Mu assumed he was just overthinking things and then focused on eating his meal.
Su Yuan smiled helplessly.
He has changed.
It seems that she has become more open-minded.
If it were the old Su Yuan, she would definitely drag Zhou Mu along to find her sister's whereabouts, even if it meant searching like a headless fly without knowing any clues.
After lunch, Zhou Mu and Su Yuan went to the Ye residence.
The Ye family truly lived up to its reputation as the most prestigious family in Tianshu County. Their mansion was magnificent, and even the two lions at the entrance were carved from gold.
However, Zhou Mu went up and touched it. With his spiritual power, he discovered that the lion was also carved from stone and then covered with a layer of gold powder.
That would greatly reduce its value.
The surprise in Zhou Mu's eyes lessened somewhat.
"Go in?"
He stood at the door, seeking Su Yuan's opinion.
Su Yuan stared at the somewhat familiar gate, seemingly hesitant. After a long while, he stammered, "I shouldn't have let my sister into the Ye family. I was wrong. I thought things would improve after she entered the Ye family. Who would have thought that it was the Ye family that pushed my sister into the fire, and her fate is still unknown."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Mu, a strange light flashing in his dark eyes.
"I don't want to see this sad place again."
"Then I'll go in, find out what's going on, and then come out." Zhou Mu said and strode forward.
Bang bang bang
He knocked on the door.
Soon, the door slowly opened, and a head popped out. "Who are you looking for?"
Zhou Mu said, "Find the head of the Ye family."
"Hold on."
The man closed the door again.
About fifteen minutes later, the door slowly opened again, and it was the same person. He glanced at Zhou Mu, then noticed Su Yuan behind Zhou Mu. After looking away, he refocused his gaze on the person in front of him and said, "The patriarch said that there will be no guests today. Please leave."
As he spoke, he prepared to close the door.
At this moment, Zhou Mu swiftly stopped him. The latter felt a powerful force sweep over him, and his fingers seemed to be welded to his body. No matter how hard he tried, they wouldn't budge.
He grew anxious and glared at Zhou Mu, "Are you trying to cause trouble? Don't you know where you are?"
Zhou Mu easily pushed open the door and walked in without paying attention to the man's questions.
"Guards! Someone is forcibly breaking into the Ye residence!"
Upon seeing this, the man hurriedly shouted.
Immediately, a number of strong and sturdy guards arrived, ready to attack. The first few had already manifested spiritual energy, clearly indicating that they were martial artists.
Zhou Mu calmly looked at everyone, then gazed at a five-story pavilion in the center of the Ye residence, and said softly, "Is this how the Ye residence treats its guests?"
The sound, imbued with spiritual energy, traveled far and wide, so much so that everyone in the area could hear it clearly.
On the fifth floor, a man was watching this scene. Upon seeing this, he chuckled and looked at the person beside him, saying, "That kid actually managed to spot me here at a glance. Not bad, he's a promising talent."
The old man beside him had a somber expression. "If we can't win them over, then we have no choice but to kill them."
"I never expected that the little beggar would have such a friend; it was truly beyond my expectations."
Ye Mu smiled faintly.
