The next day, early morning.
A streak of light swooped down from the sky and entered the courtyard where Chen Mu lived.
Chen Mu opened his eyes, knowing that A Huo and Chen Xuejun had arrived, and got up to open the door.
Chen Xuejun wore a dark green robe and gold-rimmed glasses. Although he looked somewhat frail, his eyes were very imposing, as if he could see right through everyone else.
Chen Xuejun's gold-rimmed glasses are not just for decoration; they function similarly to Chen Mu's right eye, allowing him to see through the essence of things. In addition, his years of research have given him extremely high Divine Soul sensitivity, so most people truly have no secrets from him.
"Disciple Chen Xuejun greets Master."
Upon seeing Chen Mu, Chen Xuejun immediately bowed respectfully.
"No need for formalities! Xuejun, A Huo, you've both worked hard."
Chen Mu raised his hand, gesturing for Chen Xuejun to stand up, then looked at A Huo.
" A Huo, you've run such a long way, you must be tired. Go back to your room and rest."
"I can take Xuejun to Elder Wei's place."
After Chen Mu finished speaking, he prepared to leave with Chen Xuejun.
"Wait a minute, A Mu."
A Huo called out to stop Chen Mu, Chen Mu had no choice but to turn around and look at A Huo with a puzzled expression.
"I heard some news last night that there seems to be some trouble at the border between Yi Province and Jing Province."
Kong Yu tried to mediate, but was injured by the people from the Heavenly Puppet Sect.
So I was wondering if I need to go back and handle this matter.
"Hmph! It's the Heavenly Puppet Sect again."
Chen Mu's face turned cold. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head.
"No, the disciples of the Sword-Questioning Sect will be returning in the next couple of days, and you'll need to ask them about your master."
Alright then! I've made arrangements for Elder Wei's affairs, and I'll personally go to Yi Province.
The Heavenly Puppet Sect has always harbored ill intentions towards us; it's time to teach them a lesson.
Chen Mu had made up his mind, so A Huo didn't say anything more. He nodded and walked towards his room.
When Chen Mu arrived at Wei Shan's residence, Wei Shan was already waiting in the courtyard.
He was still wearing the external smart armor, his eyes flashing with interest, seemingly very interested in the armor's various vision modes.
" Chen Mu, I must say, the thing you invented is truly ingenious."
I've traveled through different dimensions for decades, and I've never seen such exquisite equipment as yours. If you have any spare armor, I'd like to buy some from you.
As soon as Wei Shan saw Chen Mu, he couldn't help but start discussing business with Chen Mu.
"Forget it! Senior Wei, as far as I know, your family's financial situation is not very good."
Although we are partners and can offer you some discounts, the price of this equipment will definitely not be low.
Chen Mu smiled and shook his head, then pulled Chen Xuejun in front of him.
Wei Shan then realized that the King Who Guards the West's Residence was no longer what it used to be, and could only smile helplessly.
"This is my disciple. He is in charge of our sect's 'human semi-armor modification' project."
He will stay here for the next few days to collect detailed data for you. Once everything is ready, I will take you to the capital of my Chen Kingdom, to the headquarters of the Rune Research Institute, to begin the actual transformation.
Xuejun is a very serious child. He might be a little quiet, but he will definitely do his best. Please bear with him, senior.
Although the Rune Research Institute is presented to the outside world as a sect, its internal operations are more like the research institute in Chen Mu's previous life. All members are grouped by research project, and the Biology Research Group led by Chen Xuejun is the strongest group in the Biology Department.
"It's alright! I'm an old man, why would I argue with a kid?"
You need to collect data, right? Just tell me what you need me to do, and I'll cooperate fully.
Wei Shan waved his hand and readily agreed.
"Okay, because something happened in the Chen Kingdom, I need to go back and deal with it."
I'll trouble you to cooperate with me, your disciple, for the next couple of days. I'll go say goodbye to Miss Wei Shuang and then leave.
After saying goodbye Chen Mu Wei Shan, Chen Xuejun immediately took out a lot of biological data collection devices from his storage ring and began to give Wei Shan a full-body examination.
The idea of the Sword-Questioning Sect disciples to come out of seclusion and help the Chen Kingdom was actually Wei Shuang's own. Whether Chen Mu was there or not wouldn't have much impact on the outcome, so Wei Shuang knew that Chen Mu had urgent business to attend to and didn't stop him.
" Chen Mu, this is the Zhenxi token of my King Who Guards the West's Residence."
Although the power of my King Who Guards the West's Residence's King Who Guards the West's Residence is not what it used to be, some people still give it some face. Take this, just in case.
Before leaving, Wei Shuang handed a token to Chen Mu, Chen Mu was not one to dawdle and readily accepted it.
"Thanks!"
After receiving the token, Chen Mu immediately soared into the sky and rushed back to the Chen Kingdom.
Chen Kingdom, located on the border of Yi Province, in the Yang Essence Mountain Range.
This place is called Yang Essence Mountain Range because a huge Yang Essence Stone vein is buried underground here.
Yang Essence Stone is a fire-elemental Spirit Stone. Even the lowest quality Yang Essence Stone is grade four or higher. The Yang Essence Stone here, after refining, can even reach grade seven. It has been a coveted place for major powers since ancient times.
Originally, this place belonged to the Blazing Flame Sect, a first-class sect in Yi Province. However, three months ago, the Heavenly Puppet Sect forcibly sent people to occupy this place and severely injured the Blazing Flame Sect's sect leader.
Unable to contend with the Heavenly Puppet Sect, the Blazing Flame Sect could only report the matter to the Chen Kingdom. After all, the sect had submitted to the Chen Kingdom after it Yi Province Chen Kingdom a year ago, and now 30% of its annual revenue would be handed over to the Chen Kingdom.
At this moment, inside the main hall of the Blazing Flame Sect, two disciples of the Chen Clan were negotiating with the sect leader of the Blazing Flame Sect.
"My lords, this is how the Heavenly Puppet Sect acts."
If you continue to hold your ground and refuse to come out, I'm afraid they will become even more demanding from now on!
The Blazing Flame Sect was named Liang Rulie. He had already reached the Core Formation Realm Great Perfection. Although he was seriously injured, he was anxious about the ownership of the Yang Yuan Ore Vein and still insisted on meeting the envoy from the Chen Kingdom despite his injuries.
The man and woman who came to the Blazing Flame Sect this time are both outstanding young members of the Chen Clan.
The man's Chen Xuezhen, and the woman's Chen Manting. Although they were both in their early twenties, they had both broken through to the Core Formation Realm, which was considered exceptional talent even in the talent-rich Central Land.
