During this time, Gu Mu did not stop cultivating, so the internal energy in his sea of consciousness had reached an astonishing level.
Although the other party used internal force to exert pressure, Gu Mu only released one-tenth of his internal force to deflect the pressure back.
To the people on the outside street, this silent contest seemed to have gone nowhere; they were still waiting to see Gu Mu make a fool of himself.
But only the person who just fought Gu Mu knows what kind of opponent he encountered.
A short, stout man with a topknot took a step back, a solemn expression on his face.
"What's wrong, Bench?" Xiao Su, the infamous heartless abandoned woman, was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea.
Temporary residents are not allowed to enter the inner streets; this rule was set by Xiao Su.
Originally, Xiao Su was just a wandering martial artist, but because she was the first to obtain the Hidden City Token, she became a citizen of Hidden City and took over a shop in Hidden City, where she could purchase goods and sell them outside.
In a short period of time, Xiao Su accumulated a huge sum of money, began to cultivate his own power, and spoke with much more authority.
This short, stout, and sturdy man named Bench was one of Xiao Su's subordinates.
Bench's expression was rather grim: "Master, we've met our match. This guy who's trying to break into the inner streets isn't so easy to deal with."
Xiao Su's face showed surprise: "Who on earth is this person who can surpass your internal strength? You should know that your internal strength is among the best in the martial arts world!"
Bench nodded and sighed, "Master, I advise you not to provoke this person. He not only overpowered my internal strength, but also..." Bench took a deep breath before continuing, "And I sensed that he wasn't using his full strength."
"No way!" Xiao Su refused decisively. "I set the rules. If I let people in like this, what prestige will I have left in Hidden City?"
Xiao Su acted like an older sister.
It's important to know that only six shops are open in the Hidden City. Only by taking over these six shops can one obtain the right to sell the magical loom.
The popularity of the magical loom can be seen from the rapid development of the textile industry in the south.
Because the South has become the world's number one exporter of textiles, people's living standards have also greatly improved.
Of these six shops, Xiao Su took over one, while Gu Mu had the young man in blue temporarily run the other.
The remaining four rooms are simply not enough for the various gangs in the martial arts world to share.
Several well-known gangs in the martial arts world failed to take over the shops in Hidden City.
This also elevated Xiao Su's status, so she naturally couldn't let anyone look down on her.
"You must stop him! Send more of you!" Xiao Su ordered.
Soon, a short, stout, and sturdy man appeared in front of Gu Mu.
Behind the bench, there were also more than a dozen burly men.
They were all armed and stood menacingly at the street corner.
"We're doomed." For a moment, the white-haired old man felt a pang of pity: "Usually, it's just this bench that's used to throw people out of the inner street. Why are so many people involved this time? I'm afraid this young man will be seriously injured, if not killed."
The people on the street hadn't seen such a spectacle in a long time, and they all gathered around: "This guy is really fearless."
"In my opinion, it's not too late to retreat to the outer street now. If we take another step forward, there are so many experts that ordinary people simply cannot handle them."
"Haha, I think this young man is just trying to show off. Look at him, he doesn't seem to be backing down at all!"
"If you're looking for death, don't blame us for making fun of you."
Gu Mu had excellent hearing, and all these sounds reached his ears.
This is what happens when you kneel for too long: you take unfair regulations for granted, and when someone tries to break this unfairness, those who should be on the same side all stand aside and watch the show.
If Gu Mu didn't have much strength, he would probably only feel pity at this moment.
However, he is the master of this hidden city and the ruler of the Southern Kingdom.
He has an obligation to shape the world into his form.
"Let's all go at once?" Gu Mu said with a smile, "That way we'll finish faster."
The onlookers gasped.
This young man is far too arrogant.
This not only means the battle will end faster, but it also means he might die faster.
But what happened next was beyond their expectations.
Because the strongmen, led by the bench, actually disregarded the young man's provocation and attacked him together, only to be knocked away by the young man's flying palm strike.
