Li Mu pursued the Three-tailed Demonic Fox to a dense forest outside Cyan Cloud City.

Under the coverage of his Divine Sense, the two figures hiding within had nowhere to escape.

Li Mu was a step ahead, emerging from an ancient tree using the Wood Escape technique. This was exactly the direction in which the Three-tailed Demonic Fox was fleeing, and one of the two young Golden Core cultivators should be its master.

The two Golden Core cultivators were both wearing Magic Robes styled for True Disciples of the Qing Xuan Sect. One was a round-faced cultivator in a Golden Robe, with cultivation at the Early Stage of Golden Core. His aura was unstable; it seemed that to maintain this cultivation level, he had consumed a lot of High-tier Spirit Medicine and his foundation was not solid.

The other was a Late-Stage Golden Core cultivator in white, an acquaintance Li Mu vaguely remembered.

If he wasn't mistaken, it was the Golden Core Disciple he had previously driven out from Moon Pearl Peak. What was his name again? Oh right, Wang Jianfeng.

Seeing the way Li Mu appeared, the two showed expressions of surprise.

The next moment, the Three-tailed Demonic Fox followed closely behind, looking timidly at the round-faced cultivator and letting out a few soft "chirps".

"Useless trash! Get out of the way," cursed the round-faced cultivator venomously before turning to Li Mu with a smile: "Elder Li, sorry, this Demonic Fox is not smart and doesn't know its limits. I sent it to invite you, not to frighten you."

Li Mu frowned, glancing at the round-faced cultivator, then turned to look at Wang Jianfeng, suspecting that this attack was most likely incited by this guy.

"I didn't expect that you've advanced to the Golden Core! You're really hiding something deep. Perhaps you have undisclosed motives?" Wang Jianfeng said with a cold smile, meeting Li Mu's gaze.

The round-faced cultivator had a look of sudden realization, smilingly asking, "Indeed! Elder Li, when did you advance to the Golden Core? No wonder my Spirit Pet failed."

"Is this how you invite someone? You're too focused on your cultivation, Qingyun True Monarch is really not concerned about your growth!" Li Mu retorted at the round-faced cultivator, sidelong gazing at the Three-tailed Little Demonic Fox, suspecting that it intentionally made things worse, causing trouble for its master.

Damn it!

A Fox Demon is just a Fox Demon; it must be thinking of ways to escape!

Li Mu scrutinized the Three-tailed Little Fox Demon, as if trying to discern something from its shifty eyes.

"Elder Li, it seems you know my identity now. But I wonder if you'd be willing to help Tian refine a Spiritual Artifact!" The round-faced cultivator's face darkened as he looked at Li Mu with a sly smile.

Li Mu had secretly used his Divine Sense to observe the Qing Xuan Sect for many years, and he had already figured this guy out: he's the legitimate eldest grandson of Cyan Cloud True Monarch, a core senior member of the Qing Xuan Sect, Tian Wenjie, a profligate third-generation Immortal. His father, Tian Ping, is also a Golden Core Cultivator.

This way of seeking him out today must be to request artifact refining.

Only a third-generation Immortal like this would use such a method to invite someone. Of course, it can't be ruled out that the Three-tailed Demonic Fox intentionally worsened the situation.

Just now, the Demonic Fox led him into an Illusion Realm, maliciously dredging up deeply buried memories and even causing the onset of Heart Demons.

Li Mu's eyes were deep as he fiercely stared at the Three-tailed Demonic Fox, paying no heed to the question posed by a profligate third-gen.

"Elder Li, you're still as arrogant as ever! Junior Brother Tian is asking you a question! Even if you don't respect me, shouldn't you respect Elder Qingyun? Won't you give him face?" Wang Jianfeng chuckled, coldly staring at Li Mu in a pointed manner.

Upon hearing this, Tian Wenjie's face turned extremely nasty, glaring at Li Mu, waiting for his answer.

"When did you start targeting me?" Li Mu glanced at Wang Jianfeng, uninterested in his provocations, more concerned about another issue.

After leaving Moon Pearl Peak, Li Mu attentively observed his surroundings, yet he hadn't noticed anyone secretly following him or expected to fall for an Illusion Technique.

"It's simple, we have people in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. Elder Li's position as Artifact Refining Honored Guest Elder there isn't a secret." Tian Wenjie chuckled, proudly explaining.

"Elder Li, since you are willing to refine for the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, accepting Junior Brother Tian's artifact refining commission shouldn't be difficult!" Wang Jianfeng gave Tian Wenjie a glance, inwardly cursing fool, wondering why he even revealed this information.

Li Mu suddenly realized that the problem didn't originate with him.

"If you want artifact refining, look for Elder Yin. I only take sect refinements from him," Li Mu said blandly, not wanting to waste more time with them, turning to leave.

"Ha, Junior Brother Tian, I told you Elder Li wouldn't give face, didn't I guess right?" Upon hearing Li Mu's response, Wang Jianfeng instead looked pleased, coldly smiling at Tian Wenjie in a meaningful way.

Tian Wenjie was furious. Just a mere Artifact Refining Elder, daring to show him this face.

"Stop, don't leave." Tian Wenjie angrily glared at Li Mu, shouting.

Li Mu halted, turning to look at Tian Wenjie, then stared at Wang Jianfeng, frowning, contemplating his strategy.

This Tian Wenjie is just a fool; with someone like Wang in one corner fanning the flames, solving this problem would indeed be tricky.

Noticing Li Mu's gaze, Wang Jianfeng coldly chuckled, his face full of coldness. He intended to use Tian Wenjie to take revenge against him.

Being driven out from Moon Pearl Peak was considered the greatest humiliation of Wang Jianfeng's life, almost becoming his Heart Demon. Finally getting this chance, he would seize the opportunity at all costs, otherwise, this matter might become his Heart Demon in Crossing the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation.
