" Elder Ming, this is no joke. If you fire this shot, regardless of the outcome, at least half of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion will be destroyed."
Ding Danxi wasn't worried about his safety. Although the cannon was incredibly powerful, it posed no threat to him as long as he didn't choose to withstand it head-on.
"Hmph! I don't care. You better let Chen Mu and the others go right now, or I'll blow you up with one cannon shot."
Elder Ming shouted angrily, seemingly wanting to open fire.
In Ding Danxi's mind, she was at least 60% sure that Elder Ming would not fire the weapon, because Heaven-Questioning Pavilion was, after all, a legacy passed down from her ancestors. Even if he had an eccentric personality, he wouldn't blow up the place where she grew up.
But at a time like this, as the head of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion, he wouldn't gamble on even a 10% chance, because if something like this happened during his tenure, he would have a headache for a long time.
He could still discern the gains and losses involved, such as a Nether Clan spy whose true nature was yet to be ascertained, and the possibility that half of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion's territory might be destroyed.
He reached out and the Myriad Phenomena Disk flew back into his hand, and then the power of the rules that had been blocking the White Turtle's movements was also withdrawn.
With a whoosh, the White Turtle's speed increased dramatically, turning into a white light and disappearing into the horizon in an instant.
"Master!"
On the back of the White Turtle, Chen Mu looked back at the gradually blurring figure behind him, his expression filled with worry.
" Chen Mu, don't worry, with Elder Ming's strength, the Pavilion Master wouldn't dare to do anything to him."
Zheng Fengdao offered words of comfort.
Chen Mu knew that worrying was useless, so he nodded and stopped thinking about it.
" Yin Zhan, Fengdao, what are your plans? Are you coming with me to the Wilderness?"
"Go! Of course I'll go, Chen Mu, I'm sticking with you from now on."
Although Zheng Fengdao appears to be crazy, he is actually very accurate in judging people.
Chen Mu's talent, perseverance, and ability were impeccable in his eyes. More importantly, Chen Mu's style of doing things suited him very well. He had always wanted to work with Chen Mu to make something of himself, and now his wish had finally come true.
"Hmm... I might need to go back to my Lineage first to handle some family matters."
Chen Mu, find any capital city to send me down. I'll go to the Wilderness to find you after I've settled things at home.
Yin Zhan pondered for a moment and then explained to Chen Mu.
"Okay, Yin Zhan, if you need any help, please let us know."
We await your arrival in the Wilderness.
Chen Mu nodded, and seeing that they had left Heaven-Questioning Pavilion far enough away, he guided the White Turtle to fly towards Alkaid City.
Although the White Turtle broke through the seal and went into battle this time without damaging its foundation, the fact that it consumed less power was still advantageous for it.
So after arriving in Alkaid City, he had the White Turtle fly back to his chest and turn into a tattoo, thus preserving his strength.
"Please wait a moment, everyone. I need to make a transformation talisman for Mingye, otherwise Mingye might not be able to enter the city."
Chen Mu didn't have any illusion talismans in reserve, so he had to ask everyone to stop.
He took out the materials from his storage ring and spent about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to create a transformation talisman for Mingye.
Although Chen Mu's Runic Body can combine runes, he can't combine all runes. He has only stored up some runes that he is good at. For example, he can't combine the Illusion Rune at the moment.
He applied the transformation talisman to Mingye, and soon Mingye transformed into an ordinary human woman. Although she was completely different from her original self, as long as her identity as a member of the Nether Clan could be concealed for now, that was fine.
"Let's go! We'll go to the public teleportation array. I've been here before; I'll lead the way."
Chen Mu waved and led everyone into Alkaid City.
Upon seeing the bustling city, the five who had escaped death strolled around, their moods much more relaxed.
Nowadays, the streets of Alkaid City are filled with soldiers in military uniforms, indicating that the war in the west of the empire has had some impact on this place.
"Ah! Brother, isn't that 'Fleeting Images' playing in the square your ' The Legend of the Immortal Sword and Gallant Heroes '?"
As they passed the square, Chen Duo exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, but this stuff is becoming less and less profitable, I don't really want to continue doing it."
Chen Mu's tone was somewhat helpless.
Chen Village is expanding every day. With enough territory and population, money will naturally flow in. Chen Village, which has not yet fully occupied the Wuyan Mountain Range, is already making more money every day than the Floating Light and Fleeting Shadow Disc.
The money Chen Village earns is quickly reinvested in Chen Village's development, which is why it may seem like Chen Village isn't making much profit. However, Chen Village's growing strength is already Chen Mu's most important asset.
"No way! Many of my friends are fans of your story. You at least have to make a grand finale for ' The Legend of the Immortal Sword and Gallant Heroes,' otherwise you'll break many people's hearts."
Chen Duo reminded Chen Mu.
"Oh well!"
Chen Mu shrugged. He had already decided to find some time to finish the remaining dozen or so episodes of " The Legend of the Immortal Sword and Gallant Heroes " all at once, hand them over to Hou Tian and the others to manage, and then just wait to collect the money.
Yin Zhan, Zheng Fengdao, Mingye, and the others showed little interest in the Floating Light and Fleeting Shadow Disc and didn't interrupt.
The group continued forward, and after a short while, they saw a pale blue pillar of light, which was the location of the public teleportation array.
"Then I'll take my leave first. Until we meet again."
Yin Zhan waved to the crowd and was the first to enter the teleportation array.
Chen Mu noticed that many of the Spirit Stone Yin Zhan handed over to the staff were fourth-grade Spirit Stone, indicating that Yin Zhan was going to a place extremely far away, hence the exorbitant cost.
Soon, Yin Zhan entered the depths of the teleportation array and disappeared as a blue light.
"Let's go back to Chen Village."
Led by Chen Mu, the four of them entered the teleportation array and successfully emerged from the talisman-making room in Chen Village.
" Duoduo, I was in such a rush before, there's something I haven't had a chance to tell you yet."
I've brought my mother back; she's at home now...
"What? You're saying Mother's back?"
Chen Mu was interrupted by Chen Duo, who was looking very excited, when he was only halfway through his sentence.
"Yes, so you go home first. I need to take Fengdao to meet Uncle San..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Duo ignored what Chen Mu was saying and ran towards her home as fast as she could, sobbing as she ran.
"Waaah... Mother!"
Chen Mu shook his head, feeling helpless about Chen Duo's impatient nature. Then he looked at Mingye.
" Mingye, do you want to go back to your place to rest, or do you want to come with me to see Uncle San?"
When Mingye last came to Chen Village, Chen Hongjie had already arranged a place for her to stay. Chen Mu was worried about her recent injuries, so he asked her if she wanted to go to the accommodation to rest first.
But now that she has regained her appearance as a member of the Nether Clan and has undergone such a significant change, she should logically go with Chen Mu to meet Chen Hongjie and the others first, to avoid any misunderstandings later.
"Okay! I'll go see the village chief."
Mingye nodded, looking quite well.
"Good!"
This is Zheng Fengdao's first time in Chen Village, and he will be living Chen Village for a long time to come, so Chen Mu must take him to meet Chen Hongjie as soon as possible so that he can get acquainted with the villagers.
