"Alright, where is Xia Ruochen now? I'll go take a look."

Mu Jinyu frowned and asked Mu Hongchen.

Mu Hongchen replied, "Capital City."

"Alright." Mu Jinyu nodded and was about to set off.

But suddenly, he paused, looked at Xilin sitting on the sofa, frowned, and said, "You, come with me."

"Huh?"

Xilin was secretly relieved that Mu Jinyu was leaving, thinking of finding an opportunity to escape later, but unexpectedly, Mu Jinyu turned his attention to her again.

"Can't I stay? I'll... I'll obediently stay here." Xilin said with a cute expression on her face.

"No way!"

Mu Jinyu directly refused. How could he be at ease leaving this woman alone at home?

Then, Mu Jinyu walked over with large strides, grabbed Xilin's neck, and dragged her away as he flew out of the room.

"No!"

From afar, Xilin's screams could still be heard.

Mu Hongchen and Su Zijin were left looking at each other in speechless astonishment.

"The Dragon Master is quite violent, isn't he?" Mu Hongchen shook his head slightly, feeling quite speechless.

...

In no time.

Mu Jinyu had left Yinlong Mountain and arrived in the Capital City.

He contacted the relevant responsible person of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow and arrived at their headquarters in the suburbs of the capital city.

This was the former headquarters of the Dragon King Hall, which was later taken over by the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow after the Dragon King Hall was relocated.

"Where are the people?"

Mu Jinyu landed with Xilin, looked at the group of anxious people rushing towards him, and asked softly.

Xilin landed on the ground, pouting without saying anything.

At this moment, the six pairs of twelve wings that grew on her back had vanished, which she was forced to retract by Mu Jinyu on the way.

Otherwise, he'd have broken them directly.

Now Xilin just looked like a pretty girl with dyed blonde hair.

The group from Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, though amazed by Xilin's beauty, didn't stare at her divine wings strangely for long.

"Dragon King, please come with us."

An elder with an anxious expression extended his hand towards Mu Jinyu and said.

Mu Jinyu nodded and followed him forward.

Naturally, Xilin followed along, not allowed to step away from Mu Jinyu's sight for even a half step.

Soon, Mu Jinyu followed the elder to the underground storage room of the former Dragon King Hall.

Seeing this, Mu Jinyu's eyes showed a trace of complicated reminiscence.

He still remembered the first demon they captured back then was imprisoned here.

Unexpectedly, after the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow moved here, something happened to the person in charge, Xia Ruochen, who also got locked up here.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Boom!!"

The elder led the way, continuously unlocking mechanisms, and the sealed stone gate rose, revealing paths leading further inside.

Before long, Mu Jinyu and the elder arrived at the door of the last secret chamber, and as the elder triggered the mechanism, the door slowly opened.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Swish!"

As the stone gate lifted, pairs of crimson eyes suddenly lit up in the dim room, staring straight at the three people outside.

"Heh..."

Although prepared, the elder was still startled, unconsciously taking a step back and almost stepping on Xilin.

Xilin didn't even look at the pairs of red eyes inside. She looked at the elder with resentment, her face full of discontent.

It was one thing for Mu Jinyu to bully her, but how dare this old man bully her too.

"Click!"

Mu Jinyu snapped his fingers, casting the Bright Light Technique, and the once dim room suddenly became bright, revealing everyone inside clearly.

Inside, there was not only Xia Ruochen but also many other responsible personnel of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow from the Capital City. They were all in trouble right now, their eyes red, with a faint black aura rising from their bodies.

In theory, given that Xia Ruochen and the personnel in charge reached such high positions, they naturally possessed significant strength. Even if they encountered problems, it's not like anyone could easily subdue them.

However, shortly after the incident, they were obediently locked up here, coincidentally because the branches of the Dragon King Hall are spread across the country. Although they didn't openly set up martial arts schools to recruit disciples like the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, after the incident, the people from the Dragon King Hall were able to subdue them effortlessly.

"Hmm? This black aura?"

Mu Jinyu looked at the faint rising black aura from these people, frowned slightly, and felt it was somewhat familiar.

Then he remembered, wasn't this quite similar to the demonic Qi that Sheng Rulai had before?

Mu Jinyu had previously helped Sheng Rulai dispel the demonic Qi from his body at the Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere, and later encountered the Peacock Great Ming King and the unusual Buddhist Bell heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, which once led him to suspect a secretive plot behind the scenes.

Originally, his suspected target was naturally the omniscient Bai Xiaosheng.

But later, after Bai Xiaosheng pledged allegiance, Mu Jinyu inquired with him, and Bai Xiaosheng also expressed ignorance. He also attempted a calculation but achieved no results.

So Mu Jinyu treated it as an accidental happening, and when no clues could be found afterward, he temporarily put it aside without probing further.

But now, seeing the condition of Xia Ruochen and the others, Mu Jinyu immediately recalled Sheng Rulai's former state.

Isn't it quite similar to their current state?

However, they are currently in the early stage of demonic Qi erosion, whereas Sheng Rulai, when he met him at Mount Tai, was already in the later stage!

"Sure enough, someone is up to no good behind the scenes!"

Mu Jinyu ignored Xia Ruochen and the others who were trying to rush out. Due to various restrictions inside the secret chamber, they couldn't escape.

Lowly muttering a line, Mu Jinyu fixed his gaze on their eyes and began to use the Secret Heavenly Calculation, aiming to uncover the true face of the one causing trouble from behind!

"Boom!!"

As the Secret Heavenly Calculation commenced, the scene before Mu Jinyu's eyes disintegrated and reassembled.

However, contrary to Mu Jinyu's expectations, unlike the previous times he used the Secret Heavenly Calculation and could at least glimpse a part of the direction, this time, he saw absolutely nothing.

It was a vast expanse of white.

As if the so-called mastermind didn't exist at all.

"Boom!!"

Soon, the scene shattered like glass and finally exploded into pieces!

"Pfft!"

Mu Jinyu couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood.

Even though he didn't manage to glimpse a part of the future through the Secret Heavenly Calculation, the price he had to pay remained.

"Oh?"

Xilin, standing beside Mu Jinyu, eyes lit up upon seeing him cough up blood, her burgundy eyes whirling around, thinking of something unknown.

"Dragon King? Are you alright?"

The elder who led Mu Jinyu here was frightened upon seeing him suddenly cough up blood. He anxiously inquired about Mu Jinyu's condition while involuntarily retreating over a dozen steps, maintaining a significant distance between them.

Because he worried that the dense demonic Qi in the secret chamber was why even a powerful figure like Mu Jinyu coughed up blood. If he got too close, wouldn't he die instantly?

"It's nothing!"

Mu Jinyu waved his hand behind him, indicating that it was no big deal.

He wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth, cast another glance at the people in the secret chamber, who were like walking corpses, and showed a solemn expression.

"How could it be? Why can't I see a single direction? Could it be..."

Mu Jinyu faintly guessed, "Is it because the Heavenly Mechanism is being obscured?"

Therefore, Mu Jinyu took out a Communication Talisman, sent a message to Bai Xiaosheng, and asked him to come over quickly for a look.

"Dragon Master!"

In no time, the void around Mu Jinyu twisted, and Bai Xiaosheng, controlling his Doppelganger Illusion, sped from Yinlong Mountain to the Capital City.
