"How did you get in here?"
Mingye frowned as he looked at Chen Mu.
"Nonsense! Now that you're in, how could I possibly abandon you?"
Chen Mu answered as a matter of course.
"Hmph! Foolish! Couldn't you have found a way in and out of here from the outside before coming in to rescue me?"
"Yes! But I was in too much of a rush at the time, and I didn't think that much about it."
Chen Mu slapped his forehead and laughed awkwardly.
Mingye curled her lip, thinking that Chen Mu had indeed miscalculated this time.
But for some reason, she felt a little happy.
The four people who were besieging Mingye stopped when they saw Chen Mu appear, and scattered in four directions to surround the two of them.
"Young man! You just came in from outside too?"
Wang Yu was in no hurry to take action. Over the past two hundred years, most of the newcomers who came from outside had eventually submitted to him.
In his eyes, both men were his for the taking, and he could make his move whenever he wanted. After all, the mining area was only so big, and they couldn't run far.
Chen Mu looked up at Wang Yu in the air, his face darkening.
"That's right! You must be Wang Yu."
"How dare you address your master by his name! Take this punch!"
As soon as Chen Mu finished speaking, one of Wang Yu's subordinates angrily punched Chen Mu.
This punch contained a hidden, powerful fiery force; even before it reached him, a scorching heat enveloped Chen Mu.
Chen Mu remained motionless, merely flicking his finger, sending a water ball flying from his hand, easily dispersing the punch and turning it into a cloud of water mist.
"Hmm, your skills are not bad."
"Alright then! As long as you hand over all your storage rings to me, I won't make things difficult for you."
Surprisingly, Wang Yu made a concession.
They had been chasing Mingye for several hours without catching him, and now another companion who could also Mingye had arrived. He couldn't see through Chen Mu, so he had no choice but to feign compliance for now.
"You want my storage ring?"
Chen Mu's expression gradually turned angry.
"I haven't even bothered you yet, and you still want to steal my storage ring? Do you think I'm made of clay?"
He formed a mudra with his hands, and multicolored light gradually flowed around his body.
The Five Elements Fusion!
In an instant, he was once again covered with a suit of armor bearing the Five Elements Ring.
After completing the armor, he gathered strength in one hand and threw a punch at Wang Yu.
"Take this punch!"
Wang Yu smiled contemptuously, not taking Chen Mu seriously, and let Chen Mu's attack fly towards her.
But when the attack got close, he sensed the powerful spatial force contained within it, and his expression changed.
boom!!
With a loud crash, Wang Yu's sleeve ripped, and he took a step back.
"You bastard!"
Wang Yu, who had dominated the Ancient Desolate Mining Area for hundreds of years, was actually forced to retreat by a junior. Feeling utterly humiliated, he clenched his fists and unleashed several powerful Spiritual Power attacks at Chen Mu.
Boom boom boom!
Five Elements Ring rings rotated in Chen Mu's palm, and he blocked all attacks with his hands.
Water element! Five Thunders Strike the Crown.
Chen Mu reached out and summoned a large number of dark clouds in the sky. Then, endless lightning fell from the sky, forming a giant net that enveloped Wang Yu.
"What kind of martial art is this?"
Wang Yu was completely baffled, but he didn't panic. He generated a Spiritual Power shield around his body, blocking the incoming lightning.
Crackle, crackle...!
Dense lightning enveloped Wang Yu, creating a terrifying spectacle.
"Master, I'm here to help you!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Yu's three subordinates quickly took action and launched an attack on Chen Mu.
Bang! Boom!
Chen Mu remained fearless. The Five Elements Ring on his armor began to rotate, and a protective shield rose around him, blocking all the attacks from the others.
"Ah... open it for me!"
At this moment, the giant net of thunder that enveloped Wang Yu gradually expanded, and finally exploded with a bang. Wang Yu rushed out and punched Chen Mu in the chest.
Snap!
Behind Chen Mu, the phantom image of the Five Elements Ring rotated, blocking Wang Yu's attack.
Snap snap snap...!
In an instant, Chen Mu and Wang Yu exchanged more than a dozen attacks, each move dangerous.
" Five Elements Rotation, Burst Talisman!"
The Five Elements Ring ring in Chen Mu's palm rotated, finally settling on the fiery red mark.
With a loud bang, Chen Mu and Wang Yu each took more than ten steps back, creating distance between them.
" Wang Yu, that's all for today. See you next time!"
A flash of white light appeared on Chen Mu's body, and his figure vanished from the spot.
Chen Mu appeared to be invincible, but at this moment he was actually at his limit.
Although the Five Elements Ring Armor was powerful, it consumed a great deal of Dharma Power. He had already exhausted most of his magical Dharma Power and had no choice but to retreat.
Wang Yu immediately took to the air and quickly spotted Chen Mu more than a thousand meters away.
"Chase him! He's out of Spiritual Power, don't let him get away!"
Wang Yu also noticed Chen Mu's weakening aura and led his three other subordinates in hot pursuit of Chen Mu.
Unfortunately, the speed of flight is ultimately no match for teleportation, and after a while, they all lost sight of Chen Mu.
Half an hour later, Chen Mu returned to the settlement of the Ancient Desolate Remnant Clan, where he also met Mingye and the two sisters of the Nangong Family.
" Chen Mu, are you alright?"
Mingye noticed that Chen Mu looked unwell and asked with concern.
"I'm fine! I just need a couple of days of rest."
Chen Mu waved his hand, explaining that he had simply overexerted his Dharma Power and could recover with time.
The reason he attacked Wang Yu was to create an opportunity for Mingye and the two Nangong Family sisters to escape. Now that he saw they were all safe, he was relieved.
"Master, you are truly amazing! You managed to fight Wang Yu for so long!"
Nangong Tong said with a face full of admiration.
"So what if he's so great? He still beat you to a pulp and ran away."
Chen Mu said helplessly.
"Young Master Chen, may I not know how your companions are addressed?"
"His name is Mingye. As you've probably noticed, he's not an ordinary human; he's a member of the Nether Clan."
"So you're from the Nether Clan, no wonder!"
Nangong Ya appeared very calm and seemed to have no prejudice against the Nether Clan.
"Miss Ming, what are your plans now?"
"Follow him."
Mingye pointed at Chen Mu and answered decisively.
Nangong Ya glanced at Chen Mu, then looked at Mingye, as if she understood something.
"Young Master Chen, you're injured. Why don't you go back and rest?"
"Don't worry, this place is protected by the ancestral temple's deadly weapons; that Wang Yu wouldn't dare to cause trouble here."
Upon hearing Nangong Ya's suggestion, Chen Mu nodded.
"Alright! Then please arrange a room for Mingye as well."
"No problem! I'm fine with this..."
Before Nangong Ya could finish speaking, Mingye interrupted her.
"No need, Chen Mu and I can share a room."
Chen Mu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, not understanding what Mingye meant.
He then thought that his room was actually quite large, and he spent most of his time sitting cross-legged in meditation, so there was nothing wrong with living in a room.
"Alright then! Mingye can stay with me, so there's no need to trouble Miss Nangong."
