My name is Mo Kesha!

Mo Kesha sized Chen Mu up and down, her eyes flickering, seemingly lost in thought, "You have quite the nerve. Since you're not from our Nine Nether Netherworld, you dare to appear before me so openly."

"I have nothing to be afraid of, old man Mo. Did you find the person you were looking for when you went to the Pan Emperor Continent?"

Although his identity had been exposed, Chen Mu showed no sign of panic.

Mo Kesha sent so many men to the Pan Emperor Continent to search for Mingye back then, so he obviously knew a lot about Mingye's background. Now he just wants to ask Mo Kesha about the cause and effect, so he can't care about anything else.

"Oh, you know where the person I'm looking for is?"

As Mo Kesha spoke, he glanced at Mingye Ye next to Chen Mu, and his expression became serious.

"That's right, as long as you tell me why you're looking for her, I'll tell you where she is."

Chen Mu Mudao.

"Hmph, playing tricks! Wait until I capture you, then let's see if you'll talk!"

Mo Kesha suddenly made a move, striking Chen Mu with a palm. Countless Yin Soul roared within his palm, creating an extremely terrifying sight.

Yin Baleful Intent Demon Palm, the ultimate martial art of the Yin Baleful Intent Sect.

Chen Mu dared not delay and immediately formed a hand seal. Countless golden runes appeared on his body, and a lotus phantom bloomed beneath his feet, displaying a solemn and dignified appearance.

"All symbols unite as one, the Golden Lotus Imperishable Seal!"

Boom~~~

The terrifying giant hand struck the lotus phantom, shattering it inch by inch. The giant hand also became much more transparent, and then shattered several more of Chen Mu's protective barriers before finally disappearing completely.

"So powerful! Its power surpasses Late Emperor Level. If we weren't in Iron Soul City, I really wouldn't be able to stop it."

Chen Mu appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly terrified.

Back then, Chen Haoran was only at the True Spirit Realm, yet he could easily defeat Mo Kesha, which led him astray, making him think that Mo Kesha wasn't very strong.

It was only at this moment that he realized that Mo Kesha was much stronger than he had imagined.

Seeing that his first attack had failed, Mo Kesha did not stop and summoned another long banner to wave.

" Yellow Springs Baleful Intent Demon Array! Kill!"

Countless vengeful spirits and fierce ghosts rushed out from the soul banner, roaring as they charged towards Chen Mu.

"I'll help you!"

Seeing that Chen Mu was at a disadvantage, Mingye also joined the battle, charging into the horde of ghosts to fight.

Snap snap snap...!

Chen Mu waved his hand to knock away the charging ghost, but found that Spiritual Power attacks could only cause limited damage to these ghosts. He immediately changed his strategy and summoned the Yin Lightning Umbrella.

Boom!

In the past five months, Chen Mu had already upgraded all 108 acupoints in his body to the Peak of the True Spirit Realm, and was just waiting for the right opportunity to break through to the Core Formation Realm.

He decided not to wait any longer, since he had already accumulated enough power, and began to release the power within his body to undergo the tribulation.

Heavenly Tribulation Core Formation Realm in the Nine Nether Netherworld is actually much weaker than that in the Pan Emperor Continent, which results in a much higher proportion of the Core Formation Realm cultivators in the Netherworld compared to the Pan Emperor Continent.

For Chen Mu, this Heavenly Tribulation was like a tickle; he could even use the Yin Lightning Umbrella to draw the Heavenly Tribulation to attack his enemies.

Ugh...!!

Soon, the Yellow Springs Baleful Intent Demon Array, which was originally filled with resentment, began to scream in agony, and Mo Kesha also noticed that something was wrong.

"These lightning bolts are... Heavenly Tribulation?? Just who is this kid?!"

Mo Kesha was utterly speechless. Chen Mu's strength was clearly comparable to the Late Emperor Level, yet he still managed to attract Heavenly Tribulation of the Core Formation Realm. He simply couldn't understand it.

This reminded him of Chen Mu's father, who was only at the True Spirit Realm at the time, yet could still suppress him and beat him without any reason.

"Stop! That's enough! Let's talk!"

Seeing that the vengeful spirits he had painstakingly collected were about to be wiped out, Mo Kesha finally gave in and used the Soul Banner to summon the vengeful spirits back.

"You think you can just say you won't fight? Hmph, try my Heavenly Thunder!"

Chen Mu's Heavenly Tribulation was about to end, and he didn't waste any time, drawing it all in and blasting it onto Mo Kesha.

Boom!

This Heavenly Tribulation had been modified by Chen Mu, and even Mo Kesha was not unscathed, being forced back several steps and looking somewhat disheveled.

Knowing he couldn't do anything to Chen Mu, Mo Kesha didn't get angry. Instead, he said, "The person I'm looking for isn't this woman beside you, is it?"

The person he was referring to was, of course, Mingye.

During the attack just now, he kept avoiding Mingye, not daring to hurt her, clearly because he had doubts.

Chen Mu wasn't surprised that Mo Kesha could think of this, since if Mo Kesha had met Mingye's parents, they should resemble them in appearance.

Without any connection, one might not think much about it, but once suspicion arises, it becomes a powerful clue.

Answer my question first, and I'll tell you.

Chen Mu retrieved the Yin Lightning Umbrella, but did not intend to admit it.

"I can only tell you that this matter is related to the Manju Sacred Lord."

If she is truly the person I am looking for, then you will come with me to the Manju Imperial City to meet the Holy Lord. The Holy Lord will give you his answer.

Mo Kesha said frankly.

The Manju Sacred Lord" he mentioned was clearly referring to the Manju Sacred King ".

Although the Yin Baleful Intent Sect does not belong to the Manju Imperial Court, it has many connections with it. Mo Kesha even served under the Manju Imperial Court Manju Sacred King for many years before returning to the Yin Baleful Intent Sect hundreds of years ago to become its leader.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu hesitated. What Mo Kesha said matched his own deductions, so it didn't seem to be false.

But the Manju Imperial City is a place teeming with powerful and cunning individuals. If he and Mingye went there directly and the situation changed, wouldn't they be at the mercy of others, given their current strength?

"Explain yourself first: why are you looking for her, and what is her relationship with the Manju Sacred King?"

Chen Mu insisted.

" Chen Mu, believe me, knowing too much won't do you any good. Come with me to the imperial city to see the Holy Lord, and everything will become clear."

Mo Kesha said sincerely, "He is completely different from the fierce and menacing person he was just now."

"No! I'll see the Manju Sacred King, but you must have her come to Iron Soul City in person. Otherwise, this matter is off the table."

Chen Mu shook his head and made his decision.

If the Manju Sacred King is truly sincere in seeking out Mingye, he certainly wouldn't mind making the trip himself. However, traveling far from Iron Soul City would be too risky for Chen Mu, a risk that is completely unnecessary to take.

Mo Kesha sighed helplessly, "Alright! I'll go back and report to the Holy Lord now. Wait for my news."

After speaking, he gave Mingye a kind smile, and then transformed into a stream of light and left.

" Chen Mu, do you believe him?"

"I'm worried Mingye said.

Now that Mo Kesha knows they are outsiders, if they go back to find someone to deal with them, they will undoubtedly be in great danger.

"When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it!"

At this point, we had no choice but to take a gamble; otherwise, given the situation just now, it would have been just as difficult to conceal our identities.

Chen Mu was quite optimistic and confident in himself. Iron Soul City, which he had managed for so long, was no pushover.
