Chapter 519: Chapter 476 Hidden Danger_1

Xu Mu didn’t encounter any disturbances during his journey. Given his current cultivation level, unless someone knew about him in advance, it would be difficult for them to recognize him even if he was standing right in front of them.

This is also why ordinary cultivators rarely see high-tier cultivators; most of them intentionally hide their identity and avoid exposure.

Moreover, Xu Mu has a formidable enemy, hence he hides his traces whenever possible.

Upon arriving at the base of the Outer Sea Alliance, Xu Mu released his Divine Intent. He didn’t find Lu Jingkong but detected two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.

One was the Sword Offering Boot Boy, and the other was True Monarch Riding Waves!

“It seems these guys didn’t let their guard down despite the favorable situation.” Xu Mu sighed inwardly.

As people who have been pursued by various forces for a long time, having multiple fallback plans is a necessity.

Even though Xu Mu is now backing them, and neither the Inner Sea nor the Sea Race are openly hostile to them anymore, no one knows if the situation could change abruptly in the future.

These cunning old foxes who had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years would certainly not risk their lives recklessly.

Without guessing, you’d know that other Nascent Soul Stage cultivators must have gone into hiding.

These people surely employ a rotation system to maintain vigilance, so as to avoid being caught off guard should any side turn hostile.

Even these two who remained as guards seemed ready to flee at the first sign of anomalies.

Time has been too short; a few hundred years later things should be more stable.

Furthermore, he noticed that a large number of cultivators were in seclusion at the base.

It was clearly due to the availability of resources, and most people took this opportunity to attempt to break through their cultivation bottleneck.

As the nominal Alliance Hierarch, Lu Jingkong was naturally even less willing to place herself in danger. However, she should have a jade slip used for communication. If a real problem arises, and she is unable to take action promptly, it would certainly affect her prestige.

Xu Mu, who has her contact information, directly used a Jade Talisman to contact her after finding her absent in the base.

After establishing contact, he didn’t stay at the base any longer and directly went to where Lu Jingkong was hiding.

Here, he met several other Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.

“This place is quite concealed, but lacks Spiritual Energy, doesn’t this delay your cultivation?” Xu Mu asked, standing on a deserted-looking island. The vigorous Lu Jingkong opened the formation and came out to greet him.

“How can any Spirit Vein compare to the Spirit Stone, we are now directly using spirit stones for cultivation,” Lu Jingkong said confidently.

“Haha! It seems you guys have gained quite some benefits, truly rich and imposing!” Xu Mu laughed.

Though the order had just been established, the profits were still terrifying.

This was exactly why the usually solitary Loose Cultivators were willing to follow them.

Who would risk their life without substantial benefits?
