"But what?"
Upon hearing Zhu Shunwei's words, Ye Mu frowned immediately. This guy wasn't usually so hesitant; he must just find it difficult to say this.
Zhu Shun glanced at Ye Mu and said, "After the Sage, an even stronger fluctuation has emerged."
"What?"
Ye Mu's expression changed drastically.
He jumped to his feet, staring straight at Zhu Shun, his heart filled with shock. "You mean there are even stronger people in that stronghold?"
Zhu Shun pondered for a moment, his eyes showing a hint of seriousness, and said, "It's not impossible. After all, we still haven't figured out the origins of Cao Lun's group. Moreover, according to my analysis, this group is very likely not from the Desolate Heaven Domain."
Upon hearing this, Ye Mu nodded solemnly.
Zhu Shun had considered this possibility before, but the more he thought about it, the more alarmed he became.
If the mountain stronghold is truly as Zhu Shun suspected, it will inevitably lead to a series of grudges. If it is a force that even a saint cannot subdue, then wouldn't they, as martial artists in the Divine Realm, be nothing more than fish on a chopping board?
Or rather, behind the bandit stronghold lies a force that even he, and even the prefectural governor's office, cannot afford to provoke.
"Quickly...quickly bring our people back."
Ye Mu panicked and quickly gave the order.
Zhu Shun seemed to have anticipated this, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "This old servant has already withdrawn the troops."
"Okay, that's good. Hopefully, nothing else goes wrong." Ye Mu leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh of relief.
Bang bang bang
A flurry of footsteps sounded from outside the hall.
A servant walked in, and upon seeing Ye Mu, he knelt down with a thud and said in a panic, "Master, Su Xuan'er is outside requesting an audience."
"What did you say?"
Ye Mu was already a little sleepy and was pretending to doze off with his eyes closed, but after hearing the servant's words, he suddenly became alert, stood up, and stared straight at the servant.
The servant was startled, his head slammed heavily to the ground, and he repeated what he had said before.
"Okay, I understand."
After the servants left, Ye Mu's gaze fell on Zhu Shun, and he said, "Zhu Shun, do you think they're seeking revenge, or..."
"What do you think?" Zhu Shun asked in return.
Ye Mu sneered, "My Ye family is large and powerful, why would we be afraid of them?"
Zhu Shun remained calm and cupped his hands, saying, "This old servant believes that we should proceed with caution."
He paused for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "The moment that powerful aura appeared, Su Xuan'er was saved. What kind of coincidence is that?"
"You mean..." Ye Mu couldn't help but gasp, "How is that possible? If that were the case, that powerful figure would have appeared when Su Xuan'er was kidnapped to the mountain stronghold. Why wait until today?"
"This old servant thinks it's better to be safe than sorry. Let's activate the formation," Zhu Shun said.
Has it really come to this?
Upon hearing this, Ye Mu hesitated.
at the same time
Outside the Ye residence.
Zhou Mu led Su Xuan'er and Su Yuan to the gate of the Ye residence.
He glanced at the imposing characters "Ye Mansion" on the plaque above the door and sneered.
"Hypocritical and sanctimonious."
Bang bang bang
He knocked on the door.
The door slowly opened, and a head peeked out. Upon seeing Zhou Mu, the head shrank back and asked timidly, "Who are you looking for?"
Zhou Mu bowed and said, "I am looking for Ye Mu, the head of the Ye family."
"Please wait a moment."
The man closed the door again.
Then there was no further movement.
"Let's break in. Waiting outside is pointless." Jiang Jinyu, who was holding hands with Su Xuan'er and almost inseparable, raised an eyebrow and said.
Su Xuan'er tugged at Jiang Jinyu's sleeve, "Sister Jinyu, don't be impulsive, I..."
"Such favoritism! She's already protecting her in-laws before she's even married." Jiang Jinyu sighed and reached out to gently pinch Su Xuan'er's nose.
Zhou Mu, who was watching from the side, was somewhat surprised.
He originally thought Jiang Jinyu would storm into the mansion directly. After all, no one in this world would dare to make this young lady wait. Besides, with such power as a background, even if she caused a huge mess, someone would clean up the mess.
This led to her developing an unruly personality, and coupled with her unparalleled beauty, it was hard to hate her.
"It's true that everything has its counter."
Zhou Mu sighed.
At that moment, a commotion suddenly broke out inside the Ye residence.
Just as Zhou Mu thought the gate would slowly open, a dazzling light flashed, and then everyone saw a huge spiritual energy shield appear out of thin air, accompanied by a surge of powerful spiritual energy that protected the entire Ye Mansion.
"That's interesting."
Zhou Mu raised an eyebrow and smiled.
Above the Ye residence, a figure slowly floated in mid-air.
It was Ye Mu.
He glanced calmly at Zhou Mu and the others, and said, "The Ye residence does not welcome you. Please leave."
"Is this how the Ye family treats its guests?" Zhou Mu was indignant.
"You yourself said it's about hospitality, but you are not guests of my Ye residence, so what hospitality is there to speak of?" Ye Mu said calmly.
When his gaze inadvertently fell on Jiang Jinyu beside Su Xuan'er, a deep sense of amazement welled up in his eyes. Even with his experience, this was the first time he had ever seen such a beautiful person; she truly deserved to be called an unparalleled beauty.
Jiang Jinyu's existence seems to be proof of the Creator's favoritism.
“This young lady looks very familiar to me. How about we meet at my residence and catch up?”
Ye Mu looked at Jiang Jinyu from afar and grinned.
"nausea."
