chapter 526: chapter 482 traitor_1

“friend xu? is that really you?”

looking at the figure before her, li youlan still struggled to believe it.

this figure closely resembled the xu mu that she knew, but appeared much younger.

“darling!”

“husband!”

“friend xu!”

ye yingying and the others recognized him at first glance. they had spent so much time with xu mu over the ages that there was no way they could fail to recognize him.

“i was gone a bit longer this time, i hope you weren’t too worried!”

xu mu, hugging ye yingying, laughed.

the other two, due to their status and restraint, did not show excessive affection, especially with so many people watching.

“father!”

aside from xu xia, the others approached somewhat bashfully to pay their respects.

xu mu simply nodded, without saying much.

there were too many people around, it was not the time for casual conversation.

seeing the reaction of the xu family members, li youlan finally believed that the person before her was indeed xu mu, who had left for over a hundred years.

“elder xu! long time no see!”

people like xu yuling, who once had a good relationship with him, also came forward to pay their respects.

they would not dare to call him as they used to, given the power xu mu had displayed. not only had he reached the nascent soul stage, but it wasn’t an ordinary nascent soul stage.

“good to see you all.”

xu mu responded with a smile, not showing any pretentiousness.

however, he gave qiao qianqian a thought-provoking look.

“you guys start arranging to clean up the aftermath.” li youlan then gestured saying, “elder xu, let’s go inside to talk!”

“we need not be so formal, just call me xu mu! please follow me inside!”

xu mu followed li youlan inside. as for the xu family members, xu mu asked them to wait outside for the time being.

the two met privately and briefly reminisced about the old days before xu mu asked about the current situation.

he had initially returned to the dayuan dynasty, then when he heard that ye yingying and the others had arrived at the front lines, he hurried over to ensure their safety.

“the cultivator’s alliance has always had the upper hand, but i don’t know why, this time…” li youlan said helplessly, shaking her head.

“actually, i do know a bit about that!”

xu mu smiled and pulled out a body, dumping it in front of li youlan.

the corpse appeared to be in its fifties or sixties, dressed in a soft green robe, with a large hole in its chest. blood and flesh were blurred inside the hole, as if pierced by something hard.

his eyes were wide open in shock, as if he couldn’t rest in peace even in death.

“master greenwave!”

li youlan recognized the corpse at a glance and was completely shocked.

“how did he… how did you…?”

for a moment, li youlan didn’t know what to ask.

“the old fellow tried to ambush me on the way, so i took care of him,” xu mu said calmly.

“…..”

li youlan didn’t know what to say for a moment.

though master greenwave was not a top-tier nascent soul expert, he was still a nascent soul cultivator, capable of establishing a sect that could last for a thousand years. even she would have to treat him with respect and courtesy if she met him.

yet, in xu mu’s words, he seemed like an insignificant ant, crushed with a casual swat.

“the soul search did delay me a bit, but i managed to obtain some valuable information.”

“what sort of information?”

li youlan hadn’t yet understood what performing a soul search on a nascent soul-level cultivator implied. her attention had already been drawn to the information itself.

“princess, would you like to know who’s really pulling the strings?” xu mu laughed.

“huh?”
