Lu Xinghai is Lu Yuanzhen's grandson. He is erudite, with excellent Divine Soul realm and rank. He is mature and steady in his work and has great prestige among the younger generation of the Ancient Desolate Remnant Clan.
He was chosen as the leader to guide the other nine young people to leave with Chen Mu.
Although Chen Mu had promised Nangong Ya that if he had the chance after getting out, he would return to the Ancient Desolate Mining Area to rescue the others as well.
However, Nangong Ya and the others were not ungrateful. Chen Mu had helped them kill Wang Yu and reclaim the land where the Ancient Desolate Remnant Clan lived, which was already an immense favor.
They dared not ask Chen Mu to do more, after all, giving Chen Mu the Origin Spirit Fruit was originally a transaction.
If Chen Mu hadn't demonstrated sufficient strength and hadn't had a way to leave the Ancient Desolate Mining Area, they wouldn't have been able to give away the Origin Spirit Fruit.
The Ancient Desolate Remnant Clan has its own pride, and they prefer to place their hopes on their own people. Nangong Tong, Lu Xinghai, and the other ten young people are their true hope.
They believed that if the ten clansmen who followed Chen Mu out could help Chen Mu in the future, then Chen Mu would definitely keep his promise and rescue the others as well.
" Xinghai, you have the most stable personality, and I feel at ease entrusting these people to you."
You must all work hard under Young Master Chen. From now on, Young Master Chen's orders are my orders!
If Young Master Chen returns and complains to me that you disobeyed orders, I will definitely not let you off the hook...
Before leaving, Lu Yuanzhen gave a very serious speech to the ten Ancient Desolate Race who were about to depart.
"Understood! I will certainly not let my people down."
Lu Xinghai held his head high and said resolutely.
Alright, let's get going!
These are the array flags to dispel the purple mist; each of you take two.
Chen Mu didn't stand on ceremony with them and distributed the Dispelling Formation Flag in his hand to the ten Ancient Desolate Race.
"Once we enter the purple mist, you must hold the array flags and form a circle around me and Mingye."
If you sense anything unusual, tell me immediately. Mingye and I will be there to support you.
"Yes!"
All ten Ancient Desolate Race answered obediently.
Then Chen Mu led everyone toward the purple mist-shrouded area at the edge of the mining area.
Both the New Residents District and the villages where the Ancient Desolate Remnant Clan lived were located on the edge of the Ancient Desolate Mining Area. The deeper one went into the Ancient Desolate Mining Area, the more ferocious the monsters became. Even when Wang Yu was alive, he dared not venture too far in.
Chen Mu and his group arrived at the purple mist in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
"Miss Nangong, then we'll be going."
Take good care of yourselves. If I find a way, I will bring Little Tong back to save you as soon as possible, so please don't worry.
Chen Mu turned and said goodbye to Nangong Ya.
Although Chen Mu estimated that Dispelling Formation Flag could lead everyone out, not only could not bring too many people at once, but Dispelling Formation Flag would also result in losses.
Based on Chen Mu's own experience upon entering, the losses from Dispelling Formation Flag and passing through the purple mist once must have been considerable. Even if Little Tong were to enter later, she could only bring a few dozen more people out at most.
The Ancient Desolate Remnant Clan has nearly 10,000 members. Simply relying on Dispelling Formation Flag is like a drop in the ocean. If we really want to liberate the Ancient Desolate Remnant Clan, we need to find another way.
From another perspective, the wealth in the Ancient Desolate Mining Area is astonishing.
Leaving aside the various high-quality spiritual materials, the inexhaustible Purple Soul Crystal and the Origin Spirit Fruit that can help people break through to the Core Formation Realm are enough to drive many cultivators crazy.
If the Ancient Desolate Remnant Clan leave this place, with so many people and so much gossip, it's easy for the situation in the Ancient Desolate Mining Area to be leaked.
If Chen Mu tries to monopolize the resources here, it will inevitably cause a lot of trouble, so he won't let anyone else leave for the time being.
According to Chen Mu's plan, after a few more years, when Chen Village has grown stronger again and has the confidence to occupy this mining area, the Ancient Desolate Remnant Clan will be released. This is the most ideal situation he believes in.
"Alright, Young Master Chen, these two storage rings contain the Purple Soul Crystal you requested. Please accept them."
Although Purple Soul Crystal Purple Soul Crystal worthless in the Ancient Desolate Mining Area, it still took the Ancient Desolate Remnant Clan a considerable amount of effort to collect so many.
After all, a standard Purple Soul Crystal is only about the size of a thumb, while the storage ring given by Nangong Ya has a space of about one cubic meter. The two storage rings together contain tens of thousands of Purple Soul Crystal, which is an enormous fortune.
Normally, nurturing a soul cultivator to the point of breaking through to the Solid Realm would require no more than a hundred Purple Soul Crystal. The Purple Soul Crystal here are enough to nurture hundreds of soul cultivators to the Solid Realm.
If the Ancient Desolate Remnant Clan only used so many Purple Soul Crystal, it might take them hundreds of years to use them all, so they wouldn't usually collect that Purple Soul Crystal.
"Then I will accept it without hesitation. Thank you for your trouble, Miss Nangong."
Chen Mu accepted the two storage rings without hesitation.
He looked up towards the depths of the Ancient Desolate Mining Area, actually also coveting the Origin Spirit Fruit inside.
However, he had already investigated and found that there was more than one demon beast at the Demon King Realm Perfection guarding the place, so it was still too dangerous for him to pick the Origin Spirit Fruit with his current strength.
He wasn't in a hurry; he could always come back later. He could retrieve the Origin Spirit Fruit when his strength had improved further.
"Let's go, let's set off!"
At Chen Mu's command, ten Ancient Desolate Race formed a circle, with him and Mingye at the center, and stepped into the purple mist.
"Rise!"
Chen Mu made a hand seal, and the Dispelling Formation Flag in everyone's hands emitted a faint light, quickly dispelling the surrounding purple mist. They were like a cluster of flames in the dark night, driving the purple mist more than ten meters away.
"Hmm, the effect is even better than I expected."
"Let's go! Everyone, speed up and head in one direction. Without the purple mist interfering with our senses, as long as we keep moving in one direction, we'll definitely get out."
Chen Mu appeared very confident.
"Yes!"
The ten Ancient Desolate Race quickened their pace. They all possessed Spiritual Power cultivation above the Qi Nourishing Realm, and their speed was no less than that of ordinary warhorses. They quickly traversed several kilometers into the purple mist.
Although the purple mist dissipated, everyone's senses were not disturbed.
However, the unchanging scenery within the purple mist was still very unsettling, and sometimes Lu Xinghai would even have illusions, thus leading him astray.
"The angle is a bit off, move this way!"
However, with Chen Mu mediating, they were generally able to get back on the right track.
Chen Mu discovered that although this world lacks a north and south magnetic field, making it impossible to make a compass, it does possess a Spiritual Power magnetic field.
The Spiritual Power magnetic field network of the Pan Emperor Continent is not stable and changes occasionally, but one thing is very constant: the location of the Central Land Central Province is the center of the Spiritual Power magnetic field of the Pan Emperor Continent.
Therefore, as long as Chen Mu activates the magnetic poles in his Spiritual Power, he can determine the direction of Central Province and thus his own location. So as long as the purple mist does not disturb his perception, he can always find the right direction to move forward.
