“Yes!”

Brother-in-training Nangong first looked at the compass needle, then at the mirror. After that, he said with a slow nod:

“Great, something evil was found in the Imperial Capital of State of Great Xia. Doesn’t this mean that the devil may be in the State of Great Xia?”

“I’m afraid one item isn’t enough. We still need to investigate.”

Brother-in-training Nangong looked at the mirror repeatedly. Then a smile appeared on his face, but he soon returned to be serious.

He put away the mirror and left.

“Give the two children a new mirror!” Brother-in-training Yang said.

The children didn’t notice that the mirror had been changed even after the five people left.

Inside an inn in the Imperial Capital.

The five people pretended to be tourists and traveled all day.

But they didn’t find anything about the Evil Gang.

“Maybe the demon is not in the State of Great Xia after all.”

“Not in the State of Great Xia? Then where would he be? There are no cultivators in other countries now. The noble clans are all destroyed.”

“As far as I know, those countries are deploying a large number of troops to attack the State of Great Xia.”

“Why did the troops and noble clans in those countries suddenly attack the State of Great Xia? They must have found something, so all of them united to kill the devil. I suspect that the devil is a big potato in the State of Great Xia.”

Hearing Brother-in-training Lu’s words, the other four people fell silent.

That was right!

Why did six countries and so many noble clans come to attack the State of Great Xia together?

“Then let’s get into the palace for further investigation. Remember, don’t hurt the innocent and don’t alert our enemy,”

Brother-in-training Nangong said after some careful thinking.

The five people stayed in the State of Great Xia for another half a month and went all over the country.

“The devil is really good at hiding,” said Brother-in-training Lu. He was not satisfied.

Then they left.

Brother-in-training Nangong took out a mirror and the black smoke formed a blurred face in the mirror. Then he put the mirror away again.

Two days later, the five people reunited.

They were all frustrated and disappointed!

Apparently, no trace of the devil was found.

“Maybe there is no devil in the State of Great Xia?” Brother-in-training Yang said with frustration.

“Let’s go back and make our report,” Brother-in-training Nangong said after thinking about it.

“I wonder how they will judge us if we return empty handed like this. I’d better investigate for a few more days,” Brother-in-training Lu frowned.

A few days passed and the five people had thoroughly investigated the whole of Nanzhou.

“How about we randomly kill some people and take their heads back to pretend that we have completed the mission?” Brother-in-training Lu proposed.

“The elders have their ways to detect the devil’s corpse. Besides, if we kill the innocent, what should we do when other disciples come to Nanzhou to investigate the incident?” Brother-in-training Nangong shook his head.

If this could work, he would have done it long ago.

Many disciples in the sacred ground hated them.

And many elders in the sacred ground were waiting for them to make mistakes so that they could bring their own disciples to the front.

“Are we just going to go back empty-handed?” Brother-in-training Lu was obviously dissatisfied.

“What else can we do? We can quietly go back and ask our own elders if there is anything wrong with the devil’s corpse in the Forbidden Grounds.”

Half a month later.

In the house of Nangong Clan, Zhongzhou Red Dragon City.

Nangong Yuan took out the mirror and stared at the face in the mirror.

Simply by looking at the mirror, he knew that his mission was half completed.

Along the way, he kept asking the mirror about the situation in Nanzhou.

The devil in the mirror always beat around the bush.

“You know the situation in Nanzhou, just tell me directly.”

“Don’t you just want to know the situation in Nanzhou? Just a few people come to me for breakthroughs in their cultivations. They got a method from me on the condition to save me from the mirror. But it turned out to be a mess like this.”

“You’re lying!”

Nangong Yuan raised his voice.

“Are you at a bottleneck? The seventh level of Perfected Person, many genii in the sacred ground were not convinced by your cultivation, right?”

“What exactly is the situation in Nanzhou?”

“Do you want to become a genius? I have a method...”

“Don’t tempt me.”

Inside Bailing Valley.

Li Mu was holding a third-level Supreme Prenatal Qi Recovery Pill. The fragrance from the pill filled the broken house.

Li Mu secretly went to sign in at many Forbidden Grounds of the Clan Xia, and that’s where he got the pill.

For a month, he had collected many pills by signing in at different places of the house of Clan Xia.

One of them was a Path Comprehension Pill.

He had taken it two days ago but no breakthroughs happened yet.

But Li Mu still got a better understanding of cultivation.

At the very least, he had hope of breaking into Virtual Realm.

Two days later, Li Mu woke up from his cultivation.

“I’m so close! I will definitely breakthrough next time!

But he failed again.

To other cultivators, that meant they would never breakthrough in their lives.

But to Li Mu, he just needed to sign in a few more times.

He didn’t even need a Prenatal Qi Recovery Pill; a Path Comprehension Pill was enough.

Li Mu continued to sweep the floor.

After searching for a few days, Li Mu finally found out where Clan Liu lived in Bailing Valley.

Unfortunately, Li Mu did not see Concubine Jing there.

He asked many people about her but still got nothing.

Most people in Clan Xia did not know much about Concubine Jing’s situation.

“Bailing Valley is so big and so many people don’t know about Concubine Jing. I had better go ask their grand ancestor.”

Two days later, Li Mu appeared in front of a row of caves in the back of Bailing Valley.

This was the Forbidden Grounds in Bailing Valley.

The big shots of Clan Xia would have their Secluded Cultivations here.

“The prenatal qi here is even denser than in the Demon Locking Well. This much be a great place! Sign in!”

”

Congratulations, my host. You’ve signed in successfully. Reward, a Barrier Breaking Pill.”

“What is this used for?” Li Mu froze for a moment. “Forget it! I’ll just keep it no matter if it’s useful or not. I still have more places to sign in.”

Li Mu ran towards the next Forbidden Ground.

This was the place where the grand ancestor of Clan Xia cultivated and it was filled with Restrictive Spells.

Although Li Mu was only one step away from the Virtual Realm, he still had to be careful when stepping in. He was afraid to disturb the old man’s cultivation.

Li Mu was not scared by the old man, he just didn’t want to cause any trouble.

If that old guy realized that someone had broken in, it would be much more difficult for him to sign in here again.

Once he stepped into the Forbidden Ground, Li Mu suddenly found that the prenatal qi here was even denser than in the previous cave.

The more he went to the center of the ground, the denser the prenatal qi was.

“What a great place for cultivation! Why didn’t I find this place before?”

He had signed in at the edge of the Forbidden Ground in the past few days.

Today, he was bolder since his cultivation level had grown.

With these few steps, Li Mu discovered the uniqueness of this Forbidden Ground.

If he could go deeper into the Forbidden Ground, his signing-in cultivation would be even better.

After a few more steps forward, Li Mu stopped.

The Restrictive Spells here were fierce. It was evident of how prosperous Clan Xia used to be.

Such a sacred ground couldn’t be set up with only one or two cultivators of Virtual Realm.

After signing in, Li Mu quietly left, as if no one had ever come here.

Half a month later, Li Mu found Liu Yu’s cultivation cave.

He wrote a letter and slipped it under the cave door.

After another half a month, he found that the letter was still there.

Every day, Li Mu would spend more time cleaning the place where Clan Liu lived in the hope of running into Concubine Jing.

“Grandpa, let me help you!”

“Okay,” Li Mu responded.

This girl was named Liu Huaiting and she was nine years old.

She had known Li Mu for half a month.

Half a month ago, her doll was thrown into the garbage by her sister.

She couldn’t find her doll even after searching through the garbage for a long time. She was sitting on the edge of the garbage and cried helplessly.

At that time, Li Mu came to deal with the garbage and saw the poor girl.

Since then, Liu Huaiting has been guarding the garbage every day.

Every time Li Mu appeared, she would join him and help.
