Chapter 444: Chapter 412: Development_2

This was his foundation, so he had no choice but to step forward.

They naturally dared not oppose the words of the old man with a goatee, but the heads of their respective families had instructed them before coming here, that they must understand Xu Mu’s intentions. Now, if they were to return without any information, it would be difficult for them to explain.

“Can’t you hear what I’m saying? If there’s a problem, just have the people behind you come and find me directly.”

The old man with a goatee, who was able to manipulate the entire County City from behind the scenes, was not someone Wu Chengbo could compare with.

Although his martial strength was not as strong as Wu Chengbo’s, his skills in dealing with people far surpassed Wu Chengbo.

Seeing the old man with the goatee’s face darken, everyone dared not say anything more and withdrew one after another.

Once the old man with a goatee turned around, he reverted back to his smiling face, appearing to be a kind elder who didn’t inspire much animosity.

Xu Mu paid no heed to his counterparts’ tricks and schemes.

As far as he was concerned, as long as it worked, it was good enough.

At a glance, he recognized the old man’s position as the leader of the group, hence, he had chosen him to stay back.

He did not want to be the subject of a crowd spectating him.

“I wonder if there are any further instructions from the Sir? As long as I can do it, I will surpass myself to meet them!” said the old man with a goatee, grinning.

“There should be a place here to store the elite blood of the monster beasts, take me there to have a look.” Xu Mu said.

“This…”

The old man with a goatee’s face changed slightly.

Even though he had already anticipated such a request, he didn’t expect it to come this quickly.

In the League of Martial Artists, or even in the entire County City, the most precious thing without a doubt was the elite blood of the monster beasts.

It was obtained from the Wilderness at great manpower and material costs by the League, it was the League’s foundation, and it was also the reason the League could outweigh all the forces in the Da Xia Nation and control all martial artists.

Only with this elite blood could one become a martial artist. Even many major forces had to trade and purchase this blood from the League. Without the support of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, attempting to hunt and kill beasts for their blood on their own would be too dangerous.

If Xu Mu were to take all the elite blood of the monster beasts for himself, it would undoubtedly be a disastrous blow to the entire branch in the County City.

Although the current branch had already been devastated, the old man with a goatee didn’t want a repeat of such a catastrophe.

But facing Xu Mu, he didn’t seem to have any room to resist, having no choice but to bitterly regret in his heart.

Originally, he had planned to refrain from involvement, but now he was left carrying this huge burden.

“Any problem?” Seeing the old man with a goatee stand still without moving, Xu Mu asked lightly.

“No, no problem. Sir, please follow me.”

There was a forced smile on the old man with a goatee’s face, but at least he still maintained his usual demeanor.

The highest grade of monster beast blood in the armory was only at the Martial Emperor level, perhaps this would not be appreciated.

The old man with a goatee could only comfort himself in such a manner.

The two of them walked forward, one after the other. The guards along the way retreated to the sides at the old man’s signal, and there were no more obstinate people like those at the entrance of the Martial Method Pavilion.

The armory was not located above ground, but underground. Its surrounding walls were all made of fine iron. Even a Martial Emperor might not be able to break them in a short period.

Upon arriving at the entrance, the old man with a goatee took out a yin-yang jade pendant and placed it on a mechanism, gently turning it to slowly open the heavy iron door.

As the iron door opened, a cold gush of air surged out from the inside.

“This cold air is released by deep-sea mysterious jade to slow down the energy loss of monster beast’s elite blood.” the old man with a goatee began to explain.

Xu Mu didn’t respond but stepped in, with the old man quickly following.
