An abandoned ancient temple? Where is that?

After killing the red blood demon, Xiao Mu began to ponder where the ancient ruins occupied by General Ming were.

After a while, he stopped.

Qiwu Mountain was too big and had a long history, he really couldn't figure out where the ancient temple was.

"Forget it, I'll tell Qing Songzi later and let him investigate."

Realizing this, Xiao Mu decisively stopped thinking about it.

Gather murderous energy, condense the death pearl.

Ghost Servant was still diligently picking up the energy crystals, and giving them to Xiao Mu.

He picked up various evil cannons from the ground one by one and put them into the Earth Seal Space.

At this point, the Earth Seal Space was almost full.

After searching the scene and finding nothing else, Xiao Mu ordered the Ghost Servant to drive the Yin Wind Carriage and head towards the Evil Ghost Treasury once again.

Previously, because the situation was urgent, Xiao Mu had not entered the Evil Ghost Treasury, but now he could finally get in.

The Ghost Servant drove the Yin Wind Carriage, and before long, he returned to the treasury with Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu went straight in, the treasury was not big, about the size of a room.

Inside the treasury, the first thing Xiao Mu saw was a small segment of ancient bronze cannon barrel, probably about twenty centimeters long.

From the shape of the barrel, it should be the Tiger Crouching Cannon from the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, the cannon barrel was faintly emitting a treasure light, giving people a feeling full of spirituality. It was obviously a variant, and it had turned from waste copper into a treasure.

Xiao Mu reached out and pressed on the barrel, inputting the Dao Method Spiritual Energy.

The barrel responded and immediately emitted a white brilliance.

This was a sign of energy gathering.

This energy was very strong. It was expected that once it was fired, it must be quite astonishing. Even the dark purple blood demon would definitely be killed on the spot.

Even a curse ghost, after taking a hit, would probably be in a bad situation.

However, unfortunately, the energy was just gathering and could not be fired.

"What a pity!"

Xiao Mu shook his head slightly.

This barrel was too badly damaged, and it was just a very, very small part of the Tiger Crouching Cannon, so even if it mutated, it could not be used or exert its power.

Otherwise, after its mutation, its power would definitely be amazing.

However, on the other hand, it was fortunate that the Evil Ghost couldn't directly use it after obtaining it and could only use it to forge evil cannons.

If there was a mutated Tiger Crouching Cannon in this secret realm, Xiao Mu would definitely not be able to wipe out the Evil Ghost Camp. He would be killed with one shot.

The cannon barrel was collected into the Earth Seal Space.

He continued to inspect the room and something on the decayed coffin board caught Xiao Mu's attention.

"What's this?"

Xiao Mu picked it up casually and inspected it carefully.

It was a blueprint, the blueprint for the evil cannon.

On the blueprint, there were detailed diagrams and dimensions of all the evil cannon parts that Xiao Mu had collected before. It was very fine and even had instructions for forging.

Through this blueprint, it can be seen that the Evil Ghost was planning to build the evil cannon based on the mutated parts of the Tiger Crouching Cannon.

"Too bad!"

Xiao Mu shook his head again, and with a throw of the True Fire Talisman, he burned the blueprint directly.

The blueprint for the evil cannon was only usable by the Evil Ghost, humans could not use it. Even if he kept it, Xiao Mu couldn't use it.

He continued to inspect the room and Xiao Mu found another secret manual— the Hundred Battle Blade Technique.

The appearance of the secret manual was no different from the ones Xiao Mu had seen before. After opening it, he realized it was not a regular martial artist's secret manual, but a battle technique.

Battle Technique, a secret manual used for battlefield fights.

"Not bad!"

Xiao Mu nodded with a smile.

The discovery of the Hundred Battle Blade Technique was a good harvest for him; when he went back, he would try to see if he could mutate it into an Army Technique.

He casually stored the Hundred Battle Blade Technique into the Earth Seal Space and continued the search.

In the room, the rest were Evil Ghost items, all kinds of evil objects, emitting evil power, it could be used for Evil Ghost possession.

Xiao Mu took out the True Fire Talisman and burned them all with a single flame.

After coming out of the treasury and conducting another thorough search, and found nothing, Xiao Mu then walked out of the secret realm the way he came in.

All the Evil Ghosts in the secret realm had been killed, making the exit very smooth. A few hours later, Xiao Mu successfully reached the entrance of the secret realm.

At that moment, he suddenly thought of the green Ghoulish Saber and broke the Ghost Pill to release it.

The Saber was very uneasy, fearing that Xiao Mu, would break his promise and kill him.

According to Xiao Mu's original plan, he actually intended to kill the Saber to gather energy points.

After all, a green Blood Demon could provide five energy points.

After careful thought, Xiao Mu felt that it seemed more beneficial for him to keep this evil ghost instead of killing it.

After further consideration, Xiao Mu decided to let it go.

The frightened Saber thanked him earnestly, then left in a rush.

Leaving the secret realm, it was already noon the next day.

Returning by the same route, Qing Songzi had some matters to handle and had already left. The helicopter and pilot were still waiting.

Xiao Mu instructed the pilot to send him back to his residence. He rested for a bit and made some preparations before rushing to Humans offensive and defensive Alliance station the next day.

Upon entering the station, he was invited into the living room by a female worker.

In the living room, Qing Songzi was chatting with a middle-aged male martial artist.

This middle-aged martial artist exuded a fierce aura, by momentum, he should be in the Mid Bone Forger Realm, his strength was comparable to Qing Songzi.

"Mr. Mu is here!"

Seeing Xiao Mu come in, Qing Songzi stood up with a slight smile on his face.

He was eager to know how Xiao Mu's trip to the secret realm went, but it was not very polite to ask in front of others, so he endured it.

"Ha ha! So this is Mr. Mu."

The middle-aged martial artist stood up, greeted Xiao Mu with a dry smile without showing any real enthusiasm, and even a hint of disdain from his expression.

"Mr. Mu, let me introduce."

Qing Songzi introduced, "This is Mr. Qiu Jianyu from Baoyue City. He is the envoy from the master of Baoyue city, King Zitong Chen Yanming. He specially came to see Mr. Mu."

"Mr. Qiu, this is Mr. Mu, the master of our Nanke City. You can speak directly to Mr. Mu," he said, making a significant gesture to Xiao Mu.

There was a sense of urgency in his gaze, as if hinting at something.

Although Xiao Mu saw this, he couldn't guess Qing Songzi's intention, so he chose to ignore it.

Xiao Mu didn't have a good impression of Chen Yanming, master of Baoyue City.

After all, just yesterday, in the Evil Ghost Secret Realm, he had just had a conflict with his subordinates, despite killing them all in the end.

Did Chen Yanming send someone because I killed his subordinates?

Impossible!

The incident occurred in the Evil Ghost Realm. The news couldn't have got out, let alone that quickly.

Xiao Mu quickly dismissed his speculation and looked at the middle-aged martial artist, Qiu Jianyu.

Qiu Jianyu let out a dry laugh,

"Mr. Mu, hello! Ha ha! I've finally met Mr. Mu in person, you kept me waiting."

His tone was full of accusations against Xiao Mu, very domineering.

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu was not happy, but his face was indifferent, "I wonder why Chen Yanming sent you, is there anything?"

"I heard that Mr. Mu has become the master of Nanke City, Mr. Chen explicitly sent me to congratulate you, and in addition to that, he has sent a gift list."

"Gift list?"

Xiao Mu was slightly surprised.

Is Chen Yanming that nice? Knowing that I had become the master of Nanke City, he sent someone specifically to give me gifts?

He took the gift list, glanced at it, and it was written: Ten energy fruits, five top-notch secret manuals.

Such expensive gifts?

Xiao Mu was shocked once again.

At this moment, Qiu Jianyu suddenly spoke up.

"Every month going forward, Mr. Mu, please prepare gifts according to this list and send them to Baoyue City."

In an arrogant fashion, he looked down at Xiao Mu.

"Tribute?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu's face clouded over.

So this wasn't a 'gift list' at all, it was extorting tribute from him.

No wonder I thought why Chen Yanming would be so kind to send me gifts to congratulate me when he heard I became the master of Nanke City.

Unconcealed murderous intent was instantly emitted from his body, a surge of momentum directly pressed towards Qiu Jianyu, coldly saying: "Say it again, Chen Yanming wants me to pay tribute to him!"
