Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 530 Plot
After these words were spoken, Chen Mu's expression gradually became solemn.

If only the leader of Xuanyuan League set up a checkpoint to stop him, he would not be afraid, but if there were one or even two more Nascent Soul cultivators, then this trip would be very dangerous.

"If that's the case, maybe I don't need to rush back to the mountain. It's not impossible to go to another realm to practice in seclusion for a while."

He pondered in his heart and made a decision in a moment.

"But you can't completely believe what Hua Meimei said. It won't be too late to make a decision after I personally investigate."

Hua Meimei seemed to have guessed that Chen Mu would have doubts, so she took out a jade slip and said with a smug smile, "Brother Chen, don't doubt me yet. Take a look at this and you will know if what I said is true."

After saying this, he crushed the jade slip with one hand, and images of rubbings floated in the air, and finally, the figures of dozens of cultivators emerged from them.

These cultivators were clearly divided into two rows, working together to set up the formation, looking very busy.

Chen Mu could clearly see that the two rows of cultivators in the image were the disciples of Xuanyuan League and Canghai Sect, which showed that the combined strength of the two sects was indeed true.

As a result, Chen Mu was almost certain to believe this matter.

As for why the Canghai Sect was helping the Xuanyuan Alliance, he wasn't surprised at all. After all, the Meng clan was overthrown by the combined efforts of these two sects. The interests involved were too complicated, and they were already very close...

Chen Mu pondered for a few breaths, then smiled and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Fellow Daoist Hua. I know what's important and what's not, so I'm not in a hurry to return to Beiyuan."

Hua Meimei's eyes widened when she heard this, and her tone changed and she said hurriedly, "No, no, how can Brother Chen not be anxious?

Although this place is within the territory of the Biluo Palace, there's no guarantee they won't agree to the Xuanyuan Alliance crossing the border to capture you. If you stay here for too long, aren't you just waiting to die?"

It was not until this moment that Chen Mu frowned slightly and realized something subtle. The Xuanyuan League wanted to capture him, but why was Hua Meimei more concerned and nervous than himself?
He wanted to test her, so he pretended to be embarrassed and sighed, "I know it's dangerous to stay here, but with the two sects surrounding me, I have nowhere to go."

As soon as these words were spoken, Hua Meimei clapped her hands and laughed. Chen Mu was stunned when he saw this. He wondered why Hua Meimei was so jumpy. She didn't look like a golden elixir demon with a deep realm.

"Why, Fellow Daoist Hua, why are you laughing?"

Hua Meimei laughed non-stop, her hands behind her back, and said with a masterly air, "I laugh at Brother Chen's lack of quick wit and inability to adapt!"

After saying that, he waved his right hand and took out a white feather fan from somewhere. He fanned himself a few times with a puff of air, which really looked like the real deal.

Chen Mu shook his head and smiled in his heart, but did not refute him. He just followed his lead and asked, "Fellow Daoist Hua, what tricks do you have to teach me?"

"Eh." Hua Meimei was quite modest. She stretched out her hand to stop Chen Mu from speaking and said with a smile, "It's not a clever trick. I just did the opposite..."

"Friend Hua, please speak."

Hua Meimei waved her feather fan towards Beiyuan and said loudly, "Since they are concentrating most of their energy on the Beiyuan Road, why don't you turn around and stay in Nanjiang for a while, Brother Chen?"

Hearing this, Chen Mu couldn't help but pursed his lips, feeling quite speechless.

However, his original plan was to go to another place to practice for a while, and Hua Meimei's suggestion was consistent with his idea. Hua Meimei was oblivious and continued to talk.

"What a coincidence! Master Hua's lair is in Southern Xinjiang. If Brother Chen wishes to go there to escape the disaster, why not go back with Master Hua? I can then show my hospitality."

Having said this, he blinked his eyes, a hint of desire flashed across his face, and he finally revealed the real purpose of his visit.

Chen Mu's heart was moved. He was a little unsure of his intentions, so he shook his head and declined politely, "I appreciate Fellow Daoist Hua's kindness, but now that I am not alone and have disciples accompanying me, it is not appropriate for me to go deep into Southern Xinjiang to avoid causing trouble."

Hua Meimei clicked her tongue and retorted without a second thought, "How could there be any trouble when we're at Master Hua's doorstep? Don't worry, Brother Chen. Master Hua's family is wealthy and powerful, and he will definitely treat you and your disciple well!"

Chen Mu remained silent and motionless. He had already noticed some clues at this time. Hua Meimei said all kinds of words just to get him to follow her back to southern Xinjiang. If she said that she was worried that he would have nowhere to hide from the disaster, he would never believe it.

Hua Meimei raised her eyes and glanced at Chen Mu, but still received no response. So she hesitated and asked tentatively, "Why, Brother Chen, you don't want to make friends with me?"

He waited for a while, and seeing that Chen Mu was still silent, he immediately frowned and said with an unhappy look on his face: "Brother Chen, if you really don't want to be involved with me, just say it directly. I will not say a word and will turn around and leave!"

After his expression changed for a while, Chen Mu smiled slightly and said softly, "Fellow Daoist Hua, if you have anything to say, please speak directly."

After hearing this, Hua Meimei's unhappy expression froze. After a pause, she suddenly raised her hand to scratch her head and chuckled, "Brother Chen, did you see that?"

Without waiting for Chen Mu's reaction, he lowered his voice quietly, glanced around, and said mysteriously: "To be honest, Master Hua invited Brother Chen to return to the mountain with me to take advantage of a rare opportunity among my demon clan..."

Chen Mu raised his eyelids slightly and whispered, "Opportunity? What does your demon clan's opportunity have to do with me?"

Hua Meimei curled her lips when she heard that, covered her mouth with her hands and laughed twice, then pointed her right finger at Chen Mu and said, "Brother Chen, why are you pretending to be stupid? Do you really have to ask me to explain everything clearly? Forget it, forget it. With Brother Chen's cautious nature, if I don't explain it clearly, I'm afraid you won't follow me..."

He coughed lightly, moved closer to Chen Mu and continued, "Brother Chen, how could there be the aura of the Ancestral Dragon's scales on you..."

Chen Mu was shocked and looked up at Hua Meimei who was grinning mischievously.

Although he tried his best to conceal the surging emotions in his heart, there was still a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Hua Meimei smiled and said, "Brother Chen, you want to ask how I noticed it?"

After this question, Chen Mu calmed down and smiled slightly, saying, "Fellow Daoist Hua, you are joking. The Ancestral Dragon Scale is extremely precious. How could a mere cultivator like Chen possess such a rare treasure?"

Hua Meimei shook her head and said, "Brother Chen, there's no need to hide it. Others may not be able to see it, but my Five Elements Spirit Leopard clan has a very strong sense of perception, especially after I cultivated my bloodline true body, I am extremely sensitive to the aura of some treasures that are beneficial to me.

As early as when you were battling the leader of the Xuanyuan Alliance, I sensed the aura of the Ancestral Dragon Scale..."

Seeing that he had said it so clearly, Chen Mu frowned slightly, and no longer pretended to hide it. He said in a cold voice: "No wonder fellow Daoist invited me to go back to Southern Xinjiang with you. Could it be that you are targeting this Ancestral Dragon Scale?"

Hua Meimei quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, although the Ancestral Dragon Scale is of great use to me, I, Hua Ye, am not a man without principles. Brother Chen is my best friend, how could I take his treasure to support my own cultivation?"
