Lin Mu's consciousness withdrew, and he suddenly realized a flaw in himself.

As a lone wolf, he knew very few people. He knew how to mess with Qin Bingfeng, but didn't know where to start.

"Perhaps this is the downside of going it alone!" Lin Mu thought to himself.

After thinking for a while, a figure appeared in his mind.

Sun Hao!

An intelligence dealer.

Others might not know Qin Bingfeng's background, but he certainly did.

"Go and have a talk with him!" Lin Mu came out of the bathroom.

After getting dressed, leave this place.

Sun Hao is very famous in the academy; you can find out where he is with just a little inquiry.

That night.

Just as Sun Hao was about to rest, a figure entered his room.

Although Sun Hao is an intelligence dealer, he is not weak.

Almost instantly, a Curved Saber appeared in Sun Hao's hand, and he slashed at the figure at an extremely fast speed.

The Curved Saber pierced through the figure.

The next second, a figure appeared behind him and suddenly kicked him.

A cold smile played on Sun Hao's lips, and a dazzling light shone from his back.

Boom!

A loud roar was heard.

A terrifying explosion swept towards the figure.

This is his life-saving measure; as long as someone attacks his back, the Formation will be activated.

This Formation is called the Blazing Burst Formation, and it can cause great damage at close range.

"You dare to ambush me!" Sun Hao sneered.

Just as he was about to turn around to see who dared to be so bold, a long knife fell to his neck.

"Pretty impressive!" a deep voice said.

"Brother, we have no grudge against each other, don't do anything rash!" Sun Hao's face showed some tension.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything reckless!" The deep voice came again. "It all depends on whether you cooperate or not!"

Sun Hao felt a chilling aura envelop him.

The moment he makes the slightest move, that chilling aura will take his life.

"Make a deal, sell me some intelligence!" Lin Mu said.

"Just tell me what information you want, that's what I do!"

"I need all of Qin Bingfeng's movements!"

"Qin Bingfeng!" A look of surprise appeared on Sun Hao's face.

"How?"

"His movements are difficult to track because he holds a high position, making it hard for ordinary people to get close to him!"

"Didn't you say you had all sorts of intelligence?"

"That's just bragging!"

"I don't like it when people try to bargain with me!"

"No, really. If you want other information, I can sell it to you, but I don't know much about him!"

"Qin Bingfeng has been very mysterious ever since he entered the school. You can go and ask him if it's true!"

"How much do you know?"

Sun Hao hesitated for a moment, then immediately said, "I don't know much. How about this? I'll tell you everything I know. This information is circulating on campus, but I've compiled it up!"

"Qin Bingfeng rarely attends classes, preferring to be alone. He doesn't have a fixed teacher and mostly cultivates on his own. He goes out for training almost every month, but no one knows exactly where he goes!"

"Besides, he doesn't have many friends in the academy, only a few servants. If you really want to find out about him, you should go to his subordinates!"

"His men?" Lin Mu asked.

"He has four subordinates, three of whom are elusive, but there is one I know a little about!" Sun Hao said.

"Who!" Lin Mu asked.

"This man's name is Hua Xian. He's a Compulsive Gambler. He borrowed money from me before, and I still haven't gotten it back!" Sun Hao said.

"Where does Hua Xian usually like to go?"

"He's usually very restricted at the academy and can't gamble much. He only occasionally uses the Teleportation Array to go to nearby towns to play a few rounds, but he always gambles big, so he loses a lot of money!" Sun Hao said.

Lin Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and sheathed his longsword.

He knew that Sacred Origin Academy kept a very strict eye on its students.

The towns that trainees can visit are also relatively few.

"Compulsive Gambler!" Lin Mu's eyes held a hint of thought.

Whoosh!

A gentle breeze swept by, and Lin Mu's figure vanished from the spot.

Sun Hao was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat; he felt like he had escaped a disaster.

"That's terrifying! They sneaked in at night, and they're so strong!"

"Who wants to cause trouble for Qin Bingfeng?" Sun Hao's eyes held a thoughtful expression.

However, a smile appeared on his lips.

He had long wanted to cause trouble for Hua Xian, but he never had the chance.

Because behind Hua Xian is Qin Bingfeng.

This person is too mysterious; even Sun Hao can't figure him out.

They didn't dare to easily approach Hua Xian.

"Perfect! You owe me so much money, it's time to pay some interest!" Sun Hao thought to himself.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

About three hundred miles away from Sacred Origin Martial School, there is a town called Sacred Origin Town.

It's a place where some students buy supplies and make purchases.

After all, spending all year in the academy can get a bit boring.

Each student can apply to come here six months after enrollment.

Lin Mu had long met the requirements, but he had been so engrossed in cultivation that he hadn't gone out.

When he arrived in Sacred Origin Town, it was bustling with people and many vendors hawking their wares.

Besides daily necessities, there are also some quirky little gadgets here to help pass the time.

What Lin Mu didn't expect was that there was even a red-light district here.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Martial artists naturally have more Blood Qi and vitality, so their needs are stronger than those of ordinary people.

Some lustful people really can't resist the urge to be lecherous.

"In the world of martial arts, some things are not so rigidly fixed!" Lin Mu thought to himself.

He walked slowly forward. There were only a few gambling dens in Sacred Origin Town, and there were quite a few people there every day.

Because most of the students at Sacred Origin Martial School are wealthy, they often come here to play a few rounds when they get bored during their daily training.

More importantly, money is useless in the academy; only points can make them stronger.

These wealthy young men have cold, hard numbers lying on their credit cards that they can't spend, so naturally they have a strong desire to consume.

Lin Mu walked around several gambling dens and soon saw a man who looked to be about thirty years old, with a somewhat gloomy face, wearing a gray-white shirt.

This man is Hua Xian, one of Qin Bingfeng's subordinates.

His demeanor was distinctly different from others, carrying a hint of fierceness.

They look like they're not to be messed with.

At this moment, he stared intently at the electronic pattern in front of him, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

As the numerical pattern appeared, his face darkened with anger, and he couldn't help but curse.

Judging from the chips in his hand, he had clearly lost a lot.

Lin Mu smirked and walked to the side, exchanging tens of millions of chips and heading towards him.
