Chapter 1220 - 1219: Two Confused People

In this way, after another month had passed, Mu Chen's aura climbed once more, with the Boundary Power reaching the peak of Second Realm Power. His strength was infinitely close to the aura of an Ancestor General, which was very frightening. Moreover, Mu Chen had comprehended a lot in martial arts cultivation and knew how to utilize martial arts skills, yet his realm remained at the Peak of Immortal Emperor, with no sense of breakthrough.

However, that day, Mu Chen suddenly opened his eyes, looking grim, and said, "Heavenly Demon, it seems the outside world has intensified effort to collect Immortal Stone. What's going on?"

"Responding to my master, if I guess correctly, those people couldn't track down the Ghostly Smiling Man, as well as that middle-aged man you killed. They've locked their target on the Immortal Vein, wanting to excavate the entire vein to check everything."

"Damn it, can't they wait a few months? I'm already about to break through to Ancestor Realm." Mu Chen cursed loudly.

"Master, I suggest you leave here immediately, rush out, or find the Immortal Stone Beast. If you can capture the Immortal Stone Beast, using its power might help you hide."

"Going out means another big battle, but I'm not sure about the combat power of an Ancestor General, so I won't take the risk. I'll choose to find the Immortal Stone Beast." Mu Chen said, then quickly descended underground, going farther and farther.

Soon, at the Immortal Vein, an Ancestor General strong person immediately broke through to enter inside. However, just upon entering, his face changed greatly as he saw the extremely dark cave and said, "Devouring the Immortal Stone here, whoever it is, is doomed to die, extermination."

The Ancestor General strong person finished speaking and immediately went out to inform everyone, delving into the cave to inspect everything happening here.

Next, three Ancestor Generals gathered, along with many Ancestor Realm, Ancestor Spirit strong people, appearing one after another.

"Delve deep inside, dig three feet into the ground, we must find out who is secretly stealing the Immortal Stone; all of them are doomed." The Ancestor General shouted.

"Yes, Master." All Ancestor Realm, Ancestor Spirit strong people finished speaking, immediately delving inside to inspect everything here.

Deep inside, Mu Chen, utilizing the Divine Dragon Eye and the guidance of the Heavenly Demon, blinked and descended to the location of the Immortal Stone Beast. The Immortal Stone Beast was not big, only about ten meters wide, resembling a White Tiger but with different stripes; it appeared quite chubby and looked very cute. At this moment, the Immortal Stone Beast was also asleep.

After Mu Chen descended, the Immortal Stone Beast immediately opened its eyes. Just having opened its eyes, it scrutinized Mu Chen with very bright and dark eyes, looking at Mu Chen curiously.

"Strange, so eerie, Master, this Immortal Stone Beast is actually curious about you, so eerie."

"Shouldn't the Immortal Stone Beast be curious when seeing a person?"

"No, generally when an Immortal Stone Beast sees a person, it immediately becomes invisible, crosses space, rules, and disappears, though it doesn't leave too far away. However, you can't find it in a short time, which is also the terror of Immortal Stone Beasts. But this is the first time I've seen an Immortal Stone Beast see a person and not flee."

"Does this mean I can catch it?"

"Master, though it's a Low Tier Immortal Stone Beast, the master must at least reach the Ancestor Emperor Realm to qualify to catch it."

"Damn it, then what do I do? You told me to catch the Immortal Stone Beast!"

"Master, you can't do it alone, but with me, while it's true I need to expend enormous power, perhaps I can subdue this Immortal Stone Beast, though there's no choice but to try. Those people will soon descend here."

"Alright, let's give it a try." Mu Chen said, walking step by step toward the Immortal Stone Beast, gathering power.

But then, as Mu Chen approached step by step, the Immortal Stone Beast didn't flee or do anything else, instead, it kept staring at Mu Chen, looking incredibly adorable.

"Damn, is it female? Am I too handsome? What's it staring at me for?" Mu Chen said speechlessly.

"Master, you ask me, who should I ask?"

"Forget it, remember to block the area at all times, not giving the Immortal Stone Beast a chance to escape."

"Rest assured, Master, the Immortal Stone Beast has no combat power, and can't escape the power of my Divine World."

"That's good." Mu Chen smiled, step by step approaching the Immortal Stone Beast, stroking it, since the Immortal Stone Beast had no combat power, Mu Chen was not afraid.

Yet the next moment, Mu Chen was dumbfounded, still preparing to gather power and control the Immortal Stone Beast, but unexpectedly, the Immortal Stone Beast transformed directly into a head-sized demon beast, then affectionately rubbed against Mu Chen's face, absorbing his scent, astonishingly strange.

"Damn, what's happening?" Mu Chen was dumbfounded on the spot.

The Heavenly Demon was equally dumbfounded, completely unable to understand what was going on.

"Master, this definitely likes you, or perhaps it's your scent, though I don't know if this is logical, but this is how it is. It's the first time I've encountered such a situation." The Heavenly Demon said seriously.

"Is it possible?" Mu Chen was puzzled.

"Let it gather power and take you away from here, see what happens."

"Alright, I'll give it a try." Mu Chen immediately said, "Brother or beauty, the bad guys are coming, can you take me away?"

"Squeak, squeak, squeak." The Immortal Stone Beast immediately said joyfully, then wrapped Mu Chen in its power, directly taking Mu Chen across the cave, blinking and leaving, then arriving at a vacant building hall in Wind Snow City, departing quietly.

On the other side, the frantic searchers arrived near the Immortal Stone Beast's location and immediately said, "Master, inside is where the Immortal Stone Beast sleeps, should we go inside?"

"No need, I'll sense what's inside myself." An Ancestor General said, quickly crafting and gathering power, forming several eyes, instantly delving inside to covertly explore the situation there.

"Hm? Where's the person?" The Ancestor General's face changed greatly, unable to sense Mu Chen, nor see the Immortal Stone Beast.

"Damn it, see what happened here." The Ancestor General said, immediately expending massive lifespan to open up what had happened here.

Then they saw Mu Chen's appearance, resembling a middle-aged man, precisely that middle-aged man Mu Chen killed. There was also the Immortal Stone Beast, very affectionately cuddling up to Mu Chen, finally disappearing without a trace.

"Ah... Who exactly is it? Don't let me sense you or else you'll be dead without a burial place." The Ancestor General roared.

"The Immortal Stone Beast can't have escaped far, nor can it escape indefinitely. There's resting time. Now, immediately everyone go out searching, anyone seeing the Immortal Stone Beast or that person, capture the beast, slaughter the human."

"Yes, Master." Everyone replied respectfully, disappearing quickly, descending to search for Mu Chen.

"What do we do now? Without a heart, Immortal Stone Beast, there's no power." One of the Ancestor General strong persons said.
