Cave Conspiracy

The guidance in his Sea of Consciousness remained clear. Before, the marker within it had constantly been moving, but now it had stopped somewhere at the foot of the mountain and no longer moved.

Chu Mu did not travel far through the mountain itself. He merely bypassed the mine tunnel guarded by Gu insects, then entered the tunnels once more.

After all, the spiritual energy fluctuations within the mine were even more chaotic, and with remnants of spirit mines still present, any methods arranged there would only be better concealed.

By comparison, the mine tunnels lacked some concealment, but at least everything within them was visible at a glance.

As he proceeded along the tunnels, just as Chu Mu had expected, the closer he drew to Chi Shan, the more frequent and sophisticated the various measures in the tunnels became.

There were threadworm-like Gu insects, surveillance formations, and even chained offensive grand formations.

Every trace pointed to the extraordinary nature of this place.

At the very least, it was absolutely not the abandoned mine it appeared to be.

Chu Mu advanced carefully through the mine tunnels. Aside from certain Gu insects he did not understand, the formations and array restrictions posed no more than a little extra trouble for him.

Before long, as he drew closer and closer to the guiding marker, a faint light appeared at the end of the previously dark tunnel.

When the distance shrank to around a hundred zhang, the light at the end became perfectly clear.

There was a vast artificial cave there, and the so-called light was in fact emitted by pieces of fluorescent stone.

Several figures could be clearly seen standing within the cave. Chi Shan, whom he had followed here, was among them.
