Dragon King Hall's Legend

Watching Bai Xiaosheng leave, Mu Jinyu wasn't sure if there were still a pair of eyes secretly watching him.

He didn't act immediately, but pondered in his heart, wondering how much truth there was in the words the other just said.

And whether there might be an ambush and traps set in Shennongjia, intending to take the opportunity to catch him.

"Hehe..."

After thinking for a while, Mu Jinyu suddenly chuckled and shook his head, feeling as if he had been startled by a series of omniscient actions.

Now he's become so suspicious and jittery.

Back when he was in Kunlun Ruins, he was only at the Fanxu Realm, yet he dared to confront Wu Xiongfei, a great power of the Late Harmonizing Path Stage. Now, not even the entire Earth might have a Unity Realm Stage, yet he's worried about the Omniscient to this extent!

If Bai Xiaosheng truly set up an ambush in Shennongjia, then he would simply charge out directly!

No need to be so timid...

However, when he thought of the possibility that Bai Xiaosheng's trap might be similar to the one Xiang Mantang set back then, Mu Jinyu decided not to be too careless and thought for a moment before returning to Yinlong Mountain.

To seek help from Divine Silkworm Princess Yin Li.

If she's around, there shouldn't be any issues!

Soon, Mu Jinyu found the Divine Silkworm Princess eating ice cream.

He squatted down, quietly watching the Divine Silkworm Princess devour the ice cream in large bites.

Yin Li naturally noticed Mu Jinyu's arrival, but she didn't mind him and continued to squint her large eyes happily while eating the ice cream.

But after a few minutes, Yin Li noticed that Mu Jinyu was still watching her and not speaking, so she stopped licking the ice cream, turned her head, glared at Mu Jinyu, and muttered, "Why do you keep watching me?"

"Just eat. After you've finished, I'll take you out for a walk..." Mu Jinyu replied with a grin.

Upon hearing this, Yin Li felt bewildered and shook her head, saying, "No, I don't want to go out. I just want to eat ice cream here, bask in the sun, and take a nap..."

"You can eat the ice cream on the way too," Mu Jinyu said.

Yin Li blinked her big eyes, thinking that he perhaps had a point.

But she suspected Mu Jinyu wouldn't take her out for no reason, so she asked, "Did you run into some trouble?"

"Not exactly trouble, but the other party is a bit tricky. I find it difficult to gauge their danger level. With you around, I think it would be safer, so I wanted you to come along," Mu Jinyu explained.

"Alright, I'll go out with you then." Yin Li licked the ice cream off her lips, then her small body floated and drifted into Mu Jinyu's embrace.

"Mm, thank you..."

Mu Jinyu smiled, then left the freezer room, not bothering to find Mu Hongchen and the others, heading directly towards Shennongjia.

After ten minutes or so.

Mu Jinyu arrived in Shennongjia.

Coming to the sky above Shennongjia, Mu Jinyu expanded his divine sense, striving to cover the entire Shennongjia, wanting to see if there were any problems here.

Soon enough, Mu Jinyu had searched through half of it, finding no issues, then teleported to the other side to continue searching.

Having thoroughly searched across the entire Shennongjia, still finding nothing amiss, Mu Jinyu's expression showed some discontent.

"This place has big problems..."

Mu Jinyu muttered to himself.

His spiritual thought swept across Shennongjia inch by inch, but he found nothing wrong, which meant either Bai Xiaosheng wasn't in Shennongjia at all or the place he was in had an extremely adept Concealment Array, capable of hiding from his divine sense.

If it's the latter, it shows that the fear of the Omniscient far exceeded his imagination.

After all, once he completely breaks with the Omniscient in the future, how could he eradicate this organization on such a vast Earth?

"Over there, that might be the place you're seeking..."

While Mu Jinyu was contemplating how to find Bai Xiaosheng or whether to wait for him to show himself, Yin Li, lurking warmly in his embrace, suddenly sent him a spiritual message, informing him of a peculiar area in a gorge which might be the place he's looking for.

"Huh?!"

Mu Jinyu carefully examined the map appearing in his mind, recalling that he had just searched this particular place—this gorge appeared unremarkable under his divine sense scan.

But since Yin Li said there's a problem, it wouldn't hurt to check it out.

After all, it wouldn't waste much of his time.

"Buzz..."

Just as Mu Jinyu was about to teleport there, space warped and rotated in front of him, and a blurred figure emerged.

"Dragon King, you're here, and your speed is indeed swift..."

Bai Xiaosheng began to compliment Mu Jinyu.

"Lead the way." Mu Jinyu paused, pondering, and said calmly.

He thought of waiting to see where Bai Xiaosheng would lead him. If it's indeed the gorge Yin Li mentioned, then things would be easier to handle, and dealing with the Omniscient wouldn't be impossible in the future.

"Dragon King, follow me."

Bai Xiaosheng smiled slightly, his figure flickered and flashed a few hundred meters away, and then once again flickered and flashed several hundred meters further.

Seeing this, Mu Jinyu gently patted Yin Li in his arms, signaling her to hide well, and then he stepped forward to follow.

Soon, Mu Jinyu was following Bai Xiaosheng closely, arriving outside a fog-dense gorge.

Seeing the gorge, Mu Jinyu's face did not change, but inwardly he praised.

Because the gorge was exactly the place Yin Li had just told him had some issues.

"Hehe..."

At this moment, Yin Li also seemed aware of Mu Jinyu's joy, because knowing Mu Jinyu didn't want her exposed, her slightly triumphant silly laughter echoed in Mu Jinyu's mind.

"Huh..."

Arriving outside the gorge, Bai Xiaosheng's blurred phantom suddenly blinked and dissipated.

Then, a somewhat weak voice echoed from within the gorge.

"Dragon King, welcome. Forgive me for being ill and unable to greet you personally..."

As the voice continued, the dense fog that enclosed the gorge dispersed to both sides, revealing a clear path.

Raising his eyes to look inside, Mu Jinyu saw deep within the gorge, a figure clad in a black robe, with face and form hidden within. He sat cross-legged on a massive black stone, two meters high and 1.2 meters wide.

With Mu Jinyu's gaze fixed on him, the man also lifted his head, revealing the face hidden under the black robe.

"This..."

Seeing the other's face, Mu Jinyu shuddered, nearly stepping back.

The face was covered with toad-like pustules, the eye sockets were flesh turned outwards, the eyeballs gouged out, the head devoid of any hair, yet riddled with suture scars, dense like dozens of centipedes crawling over...

"Bai Xiaosheng?"

Mu Jinyu composed himself, his eyes flickered, he asked.

"Indeed, it is I."

The bizarre figure spoke, the voice exactly the same as the previously weak one.

"How did you... become like this?"

Even though it felt like rubbing salt into a wound, Mu Jinyu couldn't resist his curiosity. Moreover, he trusted that Bai Xiaosheng wouldn't be deeply affected by such a question, so he asked.

Bai Xiaosheng slightly shook his head, saying, "An accident nearly took my life. Though I barely survived, I ended up as an ugly monster."
