MTLNOVEL Chapter 352: 346 Aftermath
People in mid-air.
Chen Mu did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent.
The Divine Orifice Talisman whirled, Jade Seed Mana poured out crazily, and he pushed the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain technique to its limit.
But just as he flew to the middle of the mountain, a sense of life-threatening crisis suddenly came over him.
It was as if a powerful demon with opened spiritual orifices was staring him down.
He subconsciously looked back.
He saw a pale yellow streak of light shooting into the sky from the Golden Summit.
After pausing slightly in mid-air, it then shot towards him like a rocket ignited, instantly breaking through the mist at the mountain peak.
In the time it took for a breath, the distance between them was halved.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Mu could even see the gaunt and fierce face of the other.
"Kui Water Yin Thunder!"
A shrill shout exploded.
Crack!
Almost at the moment he saw the flash of light, a thick purple-black bolt of thunder had already arrived in front of Chen Mu.
The Spiritual Armor and the Body Protection Spiritual Light collapsed upon contact.
Chen Mu's pupils suddenly contracted to pins.
His muscles stiffened, and the fatal threat left his mind blank.
Apart from subconsciously invoking the Five Ghosts Possession, he had no time for other reactions, only staring blankly at the purple-black thunder that was inches away.
Time seemed to stop at that instant.
He could even clearly see the scene of the Yin Thunder slowly moving through the air, tracing a crooked line like a withered branch.
Just when he thought he was undoubtedly going to die, a pale white spherical Bone Shield suddenly appeared before him.
At that moment,
Chen Mu was as still as a mosquito trapped in amber.
The purple-black thunder seemed like a snake struggling through mud, moving with difficulty.
Only the pale white Bone Shield moved freely, as if it shook its body while waking up from sleep, vibrant with a tremble.
Nearly seventy percent of the Mana in Chen Mu's Jade Seed was instantly absorbed.
The next moment, everything that had been frozen came to life with clarity.
The slowly advancing purple-black thunder struck swiftly, fiercely smashing into the Bone Shield.
Bang!
Chen Mu was like a baseball that had been forcefully smacked away, becoming a blur as he shot towards the ground.
Just before hitting the ground, the grey-white rock below swiftly melted, like a soft water surface.
Plop!
With a soft sound, Chen Mu, who was plummeting rapidly, suddenly sank into the ground and disappeared from sight.
Then, the softened rock solidified back into the hard and rigid ground.
Several purple-black bolts of thunder followed closely behind.
With a boom, the ground instantly broke open, leaving a pit more than ten meters deep.
But the figure of Chen Mu had completely vanished underground.
The pale yellow streak of light landed.
Sun Jian waved his black robe, and a fierce wind swept away, blowing the dust into the sky.
His eyes were wide with rage, staring fixedly at the large hole in the ground.
Gaunt cheeks formed several sharp folds, his face filled with sinister anger!
...
Chen Mu's cave dwelling.
Patterns like ripples appeared on the ground. Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire
Chen Mu emerged from the ground, his face pale.
"That was close!"
With a flip of his right hand, the fist-sized pale white Bone Shield appeared.
Once agile as the Yang Judge, it now lay lifeless, its sentient nature seeming to have vanished.
"I don't even know if it can be healed," Chen Mu lamented with pain in his heart.
If it weren't for the Yang Judge Bone Shield appearing in time, how could he have had a chance to survive tonight?
"The matter isn't over yet!" Chen Mu quickly composed himself and put away the Yang Judge Bone Shield.
He then immediately stripped off all his clothes and devoured them using the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain.
Soon after, black smoke enveloped his body, cleaning off all traces of dust, sweat, and scent from his body like a vacuum cleaner, leaving no angle untouched.
He then quickly changed into a large coat and lay down on the bed.
He had thought about running away directly, but once he did, his identity would soon be confirmed and found out.
Then he would face the pursuit of a Condensing Aperture High Cultivator.
At that time, with the enemy calling friends and using all kinds of tracking and scouting Secret Techniques, Chen Mu would have no escape!
"Pretending that nothing happened, as long as my identity isn't confirmed, I still have a chance!" Chen Mu pondered with narrowed eyes.
"But what if the elder from the Sun family directly investigates me?"
If Sun Chengye could detect the Netherworld Grand Summary, then surely the Sun Family elder would be able to as well.
"Physical traits and mannerisms..."
Chen Mu couldn't help but think of the reason Sun Chengye suspected him.
"Then I'll change my physical traits and mannerisms!"
He immediately activated the gray wall.
Shapeshifting Technique: 9437/10000/Fourth Rank;
"If Fourth Rank isn't enough, then Fifth Rank it is!"
"It's just a matter of endurance!" Chen Mu gritted his teeth internally.
He half lay on the bed, keeping an eye on the movements outside the window, ready to flee at any moment.
At the same time, he kept tirelessly grinding experience for his Shape-shifting Technique.
It wasn't just changing his face, but also shifting his muscles and bones throughout his body.
Despite seeming to lie there quietly, under his clothes it was as if countless little mice were burrowing around, incessantly bulging and subsiding.
His face changed endlessly, one moment the old man Jie Jia, the next a fat man Shang Huan.
He even switched to feminine faces, becoming Wu Ruo and Shi Xian from the seven siblings of Wu Mountain.
With a heart full of fear, he endured through the entire night, even seeing the pale yellow light pass over his head twice, causing Chen Mu to break out in a cold sweat.
As the sun rose in the east, the light gradually brightened.
Chen Mu's anxiety increased.
Like always, he got up, dressed, and washed, but with every step he took, he changed his face, grinding out experience for his Shape-shifting Technique in a race against time.
"Sun Chengye's movements yesterday cannot be hidden for long!"
"Once they know I was the last one seen with him, they will surely come to check on me!"
"No, I can't stay in my dwelling anymore."
If he were cornered at home with no one around, he would be at the mercy of others!
The Scripture Transmission Institute!
That was the territory of the Sect Master's direct disciples.
Even a powerful family like the Sun family would have to be cautious, not daring to act recklessly!
With his heart pounding, he endured until daylight, and as soon as people from the Administrative Affairs Institute began to stir, he immediately left home and headed straight for the Scripture Transmission Institute.
...
As the sun climbed higher, Jade Spring Mountain gradually bustled with activity.
