Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In Bailing Valley, Li Mu stepped into the teleportation formation.

A few moments later, he appeared next to the garbage pile outside Liu’s. After that, he showed up next to Liu Yu’s cave in the Forbidden Ground.

He found that the letter was still in the gap of the door, which meant Liu Yu hadn’t come out yet.

“If Concubine Jing is still alive, she would be eighty years old!”

It was hard to imagine a mortal living up to eighty years old, so he worried that he would never find Concubine Jing again.

Li Mu made a detour and continued to search for Concubine, but he still couldn’t find her anywhere even after many days.

Had Concubine Jing really passed away? Li Mu was anxious.

“Grandpa, why are you unhappy?”

“Nothing, I’m just looking for an old friend but I can’t seem to find her.”

“Who are you looking for? Maybe I can help you.”

“No. You’re too young. Wait until you’re a little older.”

“Then I will grow up quickly!”

Over at the place of the State of Great Xia.

Elder Mu was right there. He was wearing a purple golden crown and had a long white beard.

His blue clothes flowed in the wind as he stared staring at the palace filled with sword qi.

He was confused.

“That Virtual Realm expert is actually here! If he is really one of the State of Great Xia, then... Very good! A Virtual Realm!” Elder Mu was excited.

For many years, a Virtual Realm had never appeared in his hometown, Nanzhou.

What’s more, no one thought that the Virtual Realm in their clan would appear in this barren land.

Back then, the Evil Gang had destroyed Nanzhou, and their ancestors had no choice but to emigrate to Zhongzhou. Although they survived in Zhongzhou, it was with great difficulty.

Numerous Nanzhou immigrants were despised and suppressed by the cultivators in Zhongzhou.

Those people of Zhongzhou even robbed them.

All these happened because they didn’t have anyone from the Virtual Realm to back them up.

Elder Mu himself was a talented man, and he had achieved the cultivation of Half-step Virtual Realm by chance. But he was still despised in Zhongzhou. Even if he had become an elder in Zhongzhou, he still had to be cautious about everything. He didn’t dare to form his own group or offend any other powers.

Elder Mu took out the compass from his pocket and saw that the pointer still remained still.

“He left some formations to guard this place. His close ones must be here. It seems that he is definitely from Nanzhou.”

Elder Mu stared at the compass for a while and sighed.

There was one Virtual Realm in each of the eight sacred grounds in Nanzhou.

If this Virtual Realm was found in Nanzhou, then a ninth sacred ground would be formed.

As for the immigrants in Nanzhou... they would finally find a place of their own to settle down.

As for whether to come back to Nanzhou, they found the whole Nanzhou in ruins all the way.

The remaining mortal kingdoms didn’t have many people left.

Nanzhou was even more desolate now.

“How pitiful the people in Nanzhou are!” Elder Mu already had tears in his eyes.

He stayed for a long time on a plain downstream of the Luoshen River.

According to his ancestors, this place had been a fertile land long ago and several Virtual Realm families were born here.

Clan Mu was one of them.

After that war, everything was ruined.

The prenatal qi in Nanzhou declined, and Clan Mu migrated to Zhongzhou.

Along the way, many people died and many were injured. They struggled a lot to remain in Zhongzhou.

Many clans of Nanzhou disappeared during the migration.

But Clan Mu was the most successful one among them.

Many clans were driven back to Nanzhou and ended up hiding inside Muguang Mountain.

But without enough prenatal qi, how long could they live in seclusion?

It was a history full of hardships.

After shedding a few tears in Nanzhou, Elder Mu flew towards Muguang Mountain in the direction pointed at by the compass.

He still hadn’t investigated Elder Nangong’s death yet.

Anyway, the body was found and he would report it as what it was. As for the other things, he didn’t care about it at all.

After all, it was a fight between the other elders and Clan Nangong.

What he worried about was whether the ninth sacred ground would be able to survive, since the other eight sacred grounds all felt that they had fewer resources.

After searching for many days, he found the body of Elder Nangong in Muguang Mountain.

After studying the wounds on the bodies of Elder Nangong and several of his close disciples, Elder Mu managed to figure out what happened.

The would were created by sword qi with lightning patterns. It was the new Virtual Realm expert.

Elder Mu just hoped that this new Virtual Realm expert could grow faster.

Elder Mu stayed in Muguang Mountain for half a month before finally leaving with the bodies.

“I wish I bought some time for him to grow up.”

A few days later, the elders of the Honghai Sacred Ground finally saw Elder Mu.

“Elder Mu, what took you so long? We have been waiting for the results of your investigation!”

The entirety of the Honghai Sacred Ground was nervous for news about the new Virtual Realm that had appeared in Nanzhou.

The elders couldn’t wait to hear the results of the investigation, but Elder Mu had taken his time in coming back.

“I had to find out the truth and that takes time.” Elder Mu bowed calmly.

“Elder Mu, what’s the truth then? And what about the Virtual Realm?”

“I didn’t see him or her. When I went there, there was no one there. We searched through the whole Nanzhou but didn’t find anything. Maybe it is an expert of Zhongzhou. Maybe he or she found Nanzhou peaceful so he or she chose to break through there. Maybe he or she had already come back to Zhongzhou.” Elder just told part of the truth.

Indeed he didn’t see Li Mu in Nanzhou.

“Where are the bodies of Elder Nangong and others? And the devil?” Some elders said eagerly.

“You guys look for yourselves.”

Elder Mu released Elder Nangong and the others’ bodies, then sighed silently.

“What? This one died under the rules of lightning and sword qi. Did the Virtual Realm expert do it?”

“Elder Nangong must have offended that Virtual Realm expert.”

“Judging from the timing, it must be. If not, how could a half-step Virtual Realm expert like Elder Nangong be killed? The timing and the location were exactly when and where that expert appeared.”

“The truth is obvious! A half-step Virtual Realm expert went to Nanzhou to breakthrough and met Elder Nangong. Then Elder Nangong disturbed and provoked him or her, so that expert killed him.

“Bullshit! How could Elder Nangong...”

“Why not? He was always like that... he was bad at judging people.”

“Sectmaster, given that Elder Nangong had offended someone he shouldn’t offend, it is better to reduce all the members of Clan Nangong to slaves for the sake of us.”

The elders were fighting continuously.

Elder Mu stood aside to watch the quarrel. He closed his eyes.

The elders were making random guesses based on the facts they had.

Fine! Just let them guess!

“Shut up! We haven’t found out who this new Virtual Realm master is and you are already quarreling!” Qiu Shuzhen said angrily.

Resources!

These elders only cared about resources and expanding their own power.

“Sectmaster, as long as this Virtual Realm is not a barbarian from Nanzhou... then it doesn’t matter who he or she is from.” One of the elders smiled and said.

“What do you mean?” Elder Mu’s face turned pale.

“What do I mean? It’s simple! We won’t get any benefits if that is the case! Elder Mu, don’t you care about our sacred ground?”

Elder sneered and left.

“Don’t get angry with that barbarian from Nanzhou. As long as this Virtual Realm has nothing to do with Nanzhou, we have a chance to annex the clans coming out of Nanzhou. And even and some of the clans living in seclusion in Nanzhou too.”

“If this Virtual Realm isn’t from Nanzhou, then could there be a new Virtual Realm here in Zhongzhou?”

At the same time, the other sacred grounds were also guessing who the new Virtual Realm expert was.

“Judging from the direction, it should be Honghai Sacred Ground.”

“Honghai Sacred Ground is so lucky? Is it Qiu Shuzhen, or someone from Clan Nangong?”
