Chapter 1217 - 1216: Mu Chen’s Schemes Run Deep

Next, the two of them sped to the area beneath Wind Snow City. This part wasn't covered by the Energy Layer, and they could see scattered people going in and out, which made Mu Chen feel a bit more at ease.

"Old man, beat it, we don't need old geezers here." The guards of Wind Snow City saw Mu Chen and Shui and immediately shouted.

Mu Chen frowned. The two of them did look way too old, hunched backs and all, and their aura wasn't strong. The guards probably figured they were useless.

"What do we do?" Shui asked.

Mu Chen immediately said, "Sir, I'm not here to go inside, I'm here to report to you. I saw a really beautiful, beauty-to-die-for woman in that forest. She seems to be unconscious. I couldn't do anything, so I came here to ask for help."

Hearing Mu Chen's words, Shui instantly thought of something. He guessed Mu Chen was up to some new trick again.

"Beauty-to-die-for, huh? How pretty?" Two or three guards got interested, the corners of their mouths curling into wicked grins.

"Sir, you can go take a look. She's in that forest. We only just found her when we came out from gathering herbs." Mu Chen said earnestly.

"Not some kind of scheme, is it?" one of them asked suspiciously.

"Sir, we wouldn't dare! But saving a life is better than building a Seventh Level pagoda of merit. We don't want to watch that woman die." Mu Chen said sincerely.

"Interesting. Fine, show the way. This is still within Wind Snow City's territory anyway, nobody would dare pull anything here." The three nodded, indicating they were willing to go take a look.

"Remember, that great beauty—don't you go hogging her for yourselves." The other three guards said seriously, wicked smiles on their lips.

"Relax, we'll definitely leave her for you."

"That's more like it."

"Haha."

"Let's go."

After they finished talking, they followed Mu Chen and Shui into that forest.

"Where's the person?" The three had just arrived and didn't see anyone, so they immediately spoke.

"There's no person—but you're the ones who have to die." Mu Chen finished speaking and struck in an instant. Relying on his overwhelming strength, a single slash cut through all three of their throats, giving them absolutely no chance. Since all three were Ancestor Realm Early Stage trash, Mu Chen's slaughter took only a heartbeat.

Mu Chen had originally wanted to slowly and carefully figure out the situation here one by one, but there was no helping it—around Wind Snow City, he didn't dare be careless.

"Hurry, turn into these two and pretend to be panicked." Without another word, Mu Chen transformed into one of them, his face full of terror.

Once he'd transformed, a burst of power instantly sent the two into the Immortal Emperor Space.

At this moment, Shui understood Mu Chen's intention and likewise turned into one of the men.

After that, quite a few guards from Wind Snow City immediately appeared, surrounding the area, killing intent rising as they sensed the Energy fluctuations.

"Ghostly Smiling Man, what's going on with Wood Snake here? Why is he dead?" A few people appeared and immediately looked at Mu Chen and asked.

"Those two old geezers were suspicious. After bringing us here, they suddenly attacked, killed him while we weren't paying attention." Mu Chen answered at once. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

"And the two of them?" Killing intent surged as they spoke.

"They escaped."

"Who the hell would dare lay a hand on us?" A few of them muttered. In hundreds of thousands of years, they'd never seen anyone make a move. To see it today was really curious.

Hundreds of thousands of years is way too short for people of the Immortal World. If you don't have something like Mu Chen's Ancestor God-level inheritance memories—needing no comprehension at all and breaking through in a few days—then everyone else has to go into seclusion to comprehend and break through, which takes decades, centuries, and some great powers even shut themselves away for hundreds of millions of years at a time.

"No idea, absolutely no idea. Those two were shady." Mu Chen said quickly.

"Forget it, let's head back first. Use your brains next time. Someone mentions a beauty and you actually buy it—ridiculous." They cursed him out and immediately left.

"Your套路, damn it, there's no one I'll concede to except you."

"All of it rests on having strength, plus the Nine Gods Disguise Technique. Without those, it'd all be for nothing."

"True, got it." Shui said blandly.

"Let's go, Wood Snake." Mu Chen smiled. This counted as having an identity now, and he vanished at high speed.

"Ghostly Smiling Man, what a crappy name." Shui cursed loudly and quickly left.

Next, the two of them quickly returned to the guard post. As soon as he appeared, Mu Chen said, "Brothers, I got a bit shaken up. Can I take a few days off to rest?"

"Not out here. Go inside. But there aren't any resources to cultivate in there."

"I just want to rest a few days." Mu Chen said pitifully.

"Sigh, probably thinking about women again. Go on then." They were helpless, but they all knew each other, so it wasn't a big deal. A few days, to them, was just the blink of an eye.

"Me too." Shui said as well.

"Brother Wood Snake, you can't go. If you leave, we'll be short-handed."

"Fine." Shui said helplessly.

"I'm off then." After giving Shui a reassuring look, Mu Chen quickly left and headed straight into Wind Snow City.

Shui didn't say anything more and immediately stayed to the side as a guard.

Inside Wind Snow City, after Mu Chen entered, he saw a lot of buildings, but no one living in them. There were almost no people here.

"Divine Dragon Eye." Without another word, Mu Chen opened the Divine Dragon Eye and started scanning everything.

Next, in the depths, Mu Chen sensed a human presence—at least tens of thousands of people. And there were two separate locations with people, each with at least tens of thousands.

"What are these people doing?" Mu Chen muttered, then rushed inward and went straight to the deepest area.

There, Mu Chen saw tens of thousands of people, at least forty thousand women. Every one of them had decent looks. Some were in rooms, some were dancing, some were doing that sort of thing. There were also many men, most dressed in the same clothes as the guards, along with some powerful cultivators.

"Those are Immortal Stones—so many Immortal Stones. Are these experts playing with women while cultivating? Is there an Immortal Vein here?" Mu Chen thought of something and flashed out of sight.

Mu Chen couldn't keep watching. The Mixed Domain really was the Human World's Hell—women basically had no dignity at all.

"I have to slaughter this herd of beasts and free these people." Mu Chen's gaze burned as he spoke, then vanished toward the next place. He had to figure out exactly what was going on here.

Very soon, Mu Chen arrived at the next location. There were still tens of thousands of people here, but their auras weren't all that strong. Most were Immortal Venerable and Immortal Emperor Realm, with Ancestor Realm experts posted here as overseers.

"So many Immortal Stones—this really is an Immortal Vein. There really is an Immortal Vein here. No wonder this place suddenly turned into a living Hell. So someone discovered an Immortal Vein—experts survive, and the weak become slaves or get slaughtered." Seeing the piles of Immortal Stones, Mu Chen spoke gravely.
