Chen Mu took two steps forward and stopped in front of the Wentian Divine Spear.

"Disciple Chen Mu greets Lord Divine Spear."

This time, the Wentian Divine Spear finally reacted.

Who are you? Why do you smell so familiar?

The voice of the Wentian Divine Spear entered Chen Mu's mind directly, and only Chen Mu could hear it.

Chen Mu looked blank, then seemed to remember something.

"Master Divine Spear, a friend of mine was fortunate enough to receive the inheritance of Senior Yan Xue. Could it be related to her?"

Yan Xue and Yang Wentian are lovers, so it shouldn't be difficult for the Wentian Divine Spear to sense her presence.

"Hmph! What does that woman have to do with me? Women are just trouble!"

The Wentian Divine Spear seemed uninterested in Yan Xue; after a pause, he continued speaking.

"Let me see what's in your left hand."

Chen Mu was shocked upon hearing this. The God-Slaying Child Seal had far-reaching implications, yet it was unexpected that the Wentian Divine Spear could see through it in a single glance.

"No, I can't let anyone else see this, or I'll be in big trouble."

Chen Mu used Divine Soul communication this time, and with many people watching, he had no choice but to refuse.

"Alright, you hold my gun with your left hand, I'll feel it myself."

Chen Mu was silent for a moment, then agreed.

He reached out his left hand and grabbed the shaft of the Wentian Divine Spear.

" Chen Mu, what are you doing?"

The Heaven-Questioning Pavilion was shocked. He had not expected Chen Mu to make such a blasphemous gesture. If the Wentian Divine Spear were to become enraged, Chen Mu would probably be instantly pulverized.

However, after the Wentian Divine Spear was caught, it did not react in any particular way. After a while, Chen Mu finally let go of it.

Okay, I understand.

Kid, if you ever activate your bloodline, you can summon me, and I'll help you once.

After saying this, the Wentian Divine Spear transformed into a stream of light and flew back to the main hall in the center of the inner palace.

"Thank you, Senior Divine Spear."

Chen Mu was completely baffled by the overtures from the Wentian Divine Spear, but in any case, it was a good thing.

The Heaven-Questioning Pavilion breathed a heavy sigh of relief upon Wentian Divine Spear back in its place.

" Chen Mu, let's go! Come with me to the main hall of the inner cabinet first. I'll have someone arrange accommodation for you and change your identity badge."

"Sect Master, may I enter the Mystic Spirit Grotto-Heaven first?"

Upon the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion was taken aback.

"Of course you can, but you don't really need to rush."

Now that you've ascended the Wentian Stairway, you're naturally an inner disciple. Once you've completed the formalities, you can freely enter and exit the Mystic Spirit Grotto-Heaven. There's absolutely no need to rush."

"Thank you for your consideration, Pavilion Master. However, I have long admired the Mystic Spirit Grotto-Heaven and am eager to experience it for myself. Please grant me permission."

Heaven-Questioning Pavilion Chen Mu persisted, the Pavilion Master of Wentian Pavilion didn't mind and nodded.

"Fine, then..."

He glanced back into the crowd.

" Qiao'er! Then you can take Chen Mu to explore the Mystic Spirit Grotto-Heaven."

A woman dressed in a purple gauze robe, with an elegant and graceful demeanor, stepped out from the crowd and came before the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion.

"Yes, Master."

Yi Qiao'er is one of the two disciples of the Pavilion Heaven-Questioning Pavilion. Although her strength is not outstanding in the inner pavilion, she is only in her early twenties and has extremely high potential.

Yi Qiao'er nodded to Chen Mu and then led him away.

After Chen Mu left, the surrounding crowd dispersed one after another, and the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion also took to the air and flew towards the central hall.

"Junior Brother Chen, the entrance to the Mystic Spirit Grotto-Heaven is just ahead."

The Cabinet Block was extremely large; the two walked for seven or eight kilometers before they approached their destination.

The two barely spoke to each other along the way. Yi Qiao'er seemed to dislike chatting with people, while Chen Mu, apart from talking to others in his professional field, also didn't like to talk to people.

Chen Mu could already see a huge vortex of Spiritual Power Spiritual Power in the distance. The vortex contained the power of spatial rules, which was both violent and operated according to specific laws, making it incredibly magical.

Just then, a group of people rushed out of the vortex of Spiritual Power and ran into Chen Mu and his companion.

" Mingye, Duoduo!"

Chen Mu immediately noticed that Mingye and Duoduo were being carried by a man and a woman respectively, both of them appearing weak and listless.

This group of people were the four who had surrounded Chen Duo and Mingye: Ye Gudan, Hu Peng, Lin Siyu, and Ge Yu.

" Chen Mu?"

Ge Yu also noticed Chen Mu and quickly alerted the three people around her.

"Everyone be careful, he's an accomplice of this Nether Clan spy."

Chen Mu released his Divine Soul and activated ' Fate Vision ' to investigate further. He discovered that Mingye and Chen Duo were only unconscious and not in any danger, which relieved him.

"If you don't want to die, let them go."

Chen Mu's voice was icy, and a chilling killing intent permeated the surroundings.

Ye Gudan was clearly not going to be intimidated by Chen Mu so easily. He glanced at Chen Mu, a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"Such arrogance! I don't recall ever seeing you in the Cabinet."

He turned his head and looked at Yi Qiao'er.

" Qiao'er Sister Qiao'er, who is this person?"

Yi Qiao'er was bewildered by the sudden tense atmosphere, and only responded quickly when Ye Gudan asked her.

"Senior Brother Ye, his name is Chen Mu. He just ascended the Wentian Stairway and is now a disciple of our inner circle."

"What? You're saying he climbed the Wentian Stairway?"

Ye Gudan was taken aback. He had also attempted the Wentian Stairway years ago, but he couldn't hold on after climbing only halfway up.

He had always told those around him that the Wentian Stairway was impossible to climb, and now this person had appeared right in front of him, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face.

"Yes, the Pavilion Master just confirmed it in person."

Yi Qiao'er answered very obediently.

Ye Gudan fell silent, processing Yi Qiao'er's news.

The Wentian Stairway has always been one of the standards for judging a disciple's potential within the Pavilion. Now that Chen Mu has ascended the Wentian Stairway, he will undoubtedly be highly valued by the Pavilion. If Chen Mu were to grow up, he would certainly lose his position as the Pavilion's chief disciple.

Seeing that Ye Gudan didn't take him seriously, Chen Mu simply attacked.

" Light Body Talisman, Instant Movement Talisman!"

He made hand seals, combining them with the runes within his body, and instantly appeared between Hu Peng and Lin Siyu.

Hu Peng and Lin Siyu were both Peak of the True Spirit Realm experts, and their reactions were extremely fast. As soon as Chen Mu appeared, they reacted and each struck out with a palm at Chen Mu.

" Immobilization Talisman!"

Chen Mu appeared on Chen Mu's palm and collided with the two people's palms. Thunder and sharp wind impacted Chen Mu's body, but the runes on the surface of Chen Mu's body flickered slightly and neutralized the two forces.

Just as Hu Peng and Lin Siyu were about to attack again, they suddenly found themselves unable to move, and a look of horror appeared in their eyes.

Chen Mu withdrew her hand and used her powerful Spiritual Power to wrap Mingye and Chen Duo in her arms, one on each side.

" Instant Movement Talisman!"

With a flash of white light, Chen Mu appeared hundreds of meters away.

" Chen Mu, you dare to shelter a spy from the Nether Clan! Your crime is unforgivable and you deserve to die!"

Ye Gudan revealed a smug smile. In the brief moment just now, he actually had a perfect opportunity to stop Chen Mu, but he didn't, precisely because he wanted to solidify Chen Mu's guilt.
