CHAPTER 71
Undercurrent
In the face of the burly youth's question, Ba Yude appeared very calm.
"Shao Ming has already been in Beiyun City for some time. Tang Mingyang is also here. Moreover, he has the help of the two brothers, Yu Yang and Yu Hai. This time, it will be very difficult for you to win if you fight alone. How about …"
"Why don't I work with you?"
"That's right!"
"Haha …"
Hearing Ba Yude's suggestion, Tie Shan Hu burst into laughter and said, "Ba Yude, everyone in the outer core knows that cooperating with you is like asking a tiger for its skin. Don't hide your thoughts from me. It's impossible to cooperate with you. I, Tie Shan Hu, rely on my own strength. If I can get the treasures in the Wind Leading Cave, I'll get them. If I can't get them, then forget it. Let's part ways here.
Ba Yude's face darkened as he watched Tie Shan Hu leave.
Shao Ming, Tang Mingyang, and the others were extremely prepared for this trip to the Wind Leader Cave. However, he was the last to receive the news, so he didn't have time to prepare.
He had no choice but to work with Tie Shan Hu this time.
Who would have thought that Tie Shanhu would have such an attitude?
"If you don't cooperate with me … you will regret it!" Ba Yude sneered as he watched Tie Shanhu leave.
Beiyun City was still as peaceful as before, but those who were attentive noticed that Beiyun City had changed.
Firstly, there seemed to be some turmoil within the Mu family. However, this turmoil was quickly quelled.
Secondly, there were many warriors coming and going in North Cloud City these days. They seemed to be preparing for something.
Gradually, this place became a hot topic among these people.
Wind Leader Cave!
This place, which had been discussed time and time again as a dangerous place, once again became a hot topic in Beiyun City.
"Have you heard? It is said that the Wind Leading Cave is the place where an expert of the fifth layer of the Spirit Cave Realm lost his life. There is a huge treasure hidden within! "
"I've also heard about it. No wonder every time a martial artist enters the Wind Leader Cave, they all die without a burial ground. Fifth layer of the Spirit Cave Realm. Even the patriarchs of the four great clans are only at this level!"
"What do you know? I heard that even the disciples of the Saint Pill Sect have stepped forward. "
Among the crowd, discussions spread throughout Beiyun City.
"Hmph!"
Inside the tavern, Shao Ming's face was ashen as he snorted and said, "This time, only Tang Mingyang, Tie Shanhu, and Ba Yude knew about it. But this time, it has spread throughout North Cloud City. It must be them!"
"Calm down, Big Brother!"
Shao Yu continued, "This time, the news of Beiyun City spreading might not be a bad thing. Let them go and snatch it. If they fish in troubled waters, their chances of success might be higher."
Hearing Shao Yu's words, Shao Ming gradually calmed down.
This time, the treasure left behind by the expert at the fifth layer of the Spirit Cave Realm in the Wind Leader Cave was crucial to whether or not he could step into the Spirit Cave Realm. Thus, there was no room for error.
"Since things have come to this point, this is the only way. Shao Yu, send someone to keep an eye on the Wind Leader Cave. This time, I will see who will emerge victorious."
"Yes!"
…
Beiyun City, Mu Family.
"Godfather, what are you doing?"
Great Elder Mu Fengyuan and Second Elder Mu Fengqing had betrayed the Mu Family with their respective direct descendants. Mu Shan and Mu Yu had also been summoned back by Mu Yun.
At this moment, Mu Yun was puzzled when she saw many figures ready to go on the Mu Family's martial arts field as if a great battle was imminent.
"Kid, you are quite calm. Do you know that Beiyun City is in an uproar now?"
"Oh?"
Looking at Mu Yun's puzzled and proud expression, Mu Linchen explained, "Recently, it is said that there is a tomb of a fifth layer Spirit Cave Realm expert in the Wind Leader Cave of the Beiyun Mountain Range. Thus, many families in Beiyun City are sending people to the Wind Leader Cave!"
"Do you understand what a martial artist at the fifth level of the Spirit Cave Realm means?"
"I know, the strongest expert in Beiyun City!"
"Kid, you make it sound so easy!" Mu Linchen smiled bitterly and said, "That's right. Godfather's current cultivation is at the fifth layer Spirit Cave Realm. He has opened the Qihai Point and Guanyuan Point. He is only one step away from entering the sixth layer. This is also why our Mu Family is one of the four major families."
"So, Godfather, you mean that our Mu Family should also explore the Wind Leader Cave?"
"That's right. If we can obtain any treasures from it, it will be able to make up for the losses caused by Mu Fengyuan and Mu Fengqing's betrayal."
"This is not appropriate."
"Not appropriate?"
Seeing Mu Yun shake her head, Mu Linchen was stunned.
"Godfather, first of all, whether there is a treasure in the Wind Leader Cave is only a rumor. Secondly, even if there is a treasure, with our Mu Family's current strength, how can we obtain it under the Diao Family and the Wang Family? Moreover, this time, Beiyun College and the Sacred Elixir Pavilion will also send out experts. At that time, I am afraid that not only will our Mu Family gain nothing, but we will also suffer a devastating blow because of the Wind Leader Cave. "
Mu Yun's words were not false. If the Mu Family sent out their elites and ended up with nothing, it would undoubtedly be one disaster after another.
However, Mu Linchen understood that the greater the danger, the greater the possible benefits.
"I know what Godfather is thinking, but this time, our Mu Family did not say that we will not send anyone, but we do not need to send so many people."
"Oh? You little rascal, tell me, who should we send? "
"Me!"
"You?"
Hearing Mu Yun's self-recommendation, Mu Linchen widened his eyes and smiled bitterly.
He did not look down on Mu Yun, but this trip to the Wind Leader Cave was too dangerous. If Mu Yun was alone, it would not be worth it if Mu Yun was not able to obtain any treasures and ended up losing her life.
"Hehe, Godfather, don't worry. I understand this trip to the Wind Leader Cave. Since ancient times, treasures have spirituality. Those who are fated will obtain them. If I cannot obtain them, I will not force it!"
Mu Yun said confidently, "But if Godfather is hot-headed and sends out a large number of Mu Family elites, we will suffer great losses. Taking a step back, even if we obtain the treasures, our Mu Family will not be able to recover in a few years. Do you think that in a few years, Mu Fengyuan and Mu Fengqing, those two old farts, will let our Mu Family go?"
Hearing Mu Yun's words, Mu Linchen frowned and did not speak again.
Slowly, looking at the hundreds of warriors on the martial arts field, Mu Linchen said, "Mu Qiankun, take a hundred people to the East Market Square to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos. Mu Qianyun, take a hundred people to the various branches of our Mu Family in Beiyun City and carefully investigate and protect them. Mu Shan and Mu Yu, you two take the remaining two hundred Mu Family warriors and carefully investigate the various towns below Beiyun City. Warn them not to step into the Beiyun Mountain Range in the next few days!"
"Yes, Patriarch!"
Mu Qiankun and the other three were the four experts of the Mu Family who were loyal to Mu Linchen. They could only obey Mu Linchen's orders and did not question them.
On the other hand, they also felt that Mu Yun's suggestion was correct.
The Mu Family was now in a precarious situation and could not take any risks.
"As for me, I will stay in the Mu Family's headquarters. If anything happens in Beiyun City or the towns below, you must inform me immediately, understand?"
"Yes!"
The sound of footsteps could be heard as the four of them led hundreds of warriors and dispersed from the various gates of the Mu Family.
Seeing that Godfather had listened to his suggestion, Mu Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what treasures there were in the Wind Leading Cave, he was not tempted.
All he needed was the Spirit Sealing Grass.
Of course, he could not explain this to his Godfather. If there was a chance to obtain the treasures, he did not mind taking them away.
"You brat, Godfather will listen to you. I know you want the Spirit Sealing Grass, but you can't force anything, understand?"
"Yes!"
"Oh, there's one more thing!" Mu Linchen instructed, "I see that you and Qin Mengyao are in love with each other. Qin Shiyu and Old Master Qin are also very satisfied. The two of you should prepare to get married soon!"
"Huh?"
"What's with the 'huh'? You're not young anymore. Why? Are you unwilling?" Mu Linchen glared at him and said, "Hurry up and get married while I can still control you so that I don't have to worry about you. Moreover, the Family Qin will definitely send people to the Wind Leading Cave this time. I will discuss it with Old Master Qin. When the time comes, you will follow the Family Qin team into the Wind Leading Cave."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Mu Yun opened her mouth.
It was not easy to persuade Godfather to give up, but he did not expect that Godfather would arrange for him to accompany him.
He had to go to the Wind Leading Cave alone. Otherwise, he would not be able to use many of his hidden techniques.
It was too risky to go with the Family Qin team.
It seemed that he had to think of a way.
Time passed bit by bit. In the past few days, Qi Ming had been refining mortal weapons in the East Market Square.
From inferior-grade mortal weapons to superior-grade mortal weapons, Qi Ming became more and more familiar with them as he practiced.
Although he had successfully refined superior-grade mortal weapons in the battle with Qi Yun and surpassed Qi Yun, he was still inferior to Qi Yun in terms of refining weapons.
However, recently, he had been refining weapons in the Mu Family's East Market Square, which gave him more opportunities to hone himself and made rapid progress.
Miao Xianyu was not idle either. She led a few alchemists from the Sacred Elixir Pavilion in and out of the Mu Family's East Market Square.
As for Moyang, his improvement in strength had stabilized his position as the successor of the Mo Family Trading Company.
Now, he was developing business with the Mu Family. Recently, Mo Hai had been taking a detour whenever he saw him.
Seeing the performance of the three disciples, Mu Yun was very satisfied.
On this day, the originally bustling streets in Beiyun City suddenly became quiet.
Everyone knew that it was because some people could no longer wait and had begun to head to the Wind Leading Cave in the Beiyun Mountain Range.
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples. No one was willing to fall behind, so many people in Beiyun City quietly began to leave and head to the Beiyun Mountain Range.
"Godfather, there's no need. I'll go to the Family Qin myself!"
At this moment, outside the Mu Family's main gate, Mu Linchen grabbed Mu Yun and walked toward the Family Qin.
