Chapter 375: Chapter 344: Return to the Palace of Pure Heart_1
Inside a crack in the seabed, Xu Mu sat cross-legged beneath a veil of formations, appearing as if he was meditating. However, he was actually using the God Refining Tripod to refine Bai Xiaoxiao’s soul and explore his memories.
After a long while, he finally opened his eyes, muttering, “Who would have thought something like this had happened. It seems my luck isn’t half bad.”
Among the many secrets he found in Bai Xiaoxiao’s memories, a particular event from a hundred years ago attracted his attention.
A century prior, Qiu Jixing had used the Heavenly Spirit Treasure to locate a specific person, then sent a large number of masters to the Outer Sea, only returning after a lengthy period.
Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t know the specifics, but Xu Mu estimated based on the timeline, that it coincided to when he had killed Mu Yunwan and fled to the Outer Sea.
If his assumptions were correct, those people would have been chasing him.
“Seems I really can’t let the Butian Pavilion off!”
Bai Xiaoxiao wasn’t aware of the importance of the Yin and Yang Harmony Secret Skill to Butian Pavilion, nor was Xu Mu. However, he knew that Butian Pavilion wanted to kill him and nearly succeeded.
He could not possibly turn a blind eye to this!
His murder of Mu Yunwan was solely because she courted death herself. After fleeing to the Outer Sea, he thought the matter was over. It seems that this was all due to his good fortune.
He had no good feelings towards the Butian Pavilion; they always picked the fights and were ruthless.
He had to take revenge!
Moreover, judging by Bai Xiaoxiao and Mu Yunwan’s actions, Butian Pavilion must have killed numerous innocent people in private.
To annihilate Butian Pavilion would be to remove a public menace.
The reason Butian Pavilion had survived for so long was partly due to its strong strength, but mostly because it was shrewd and avoided offending powerful entities.
Unfortunately for them, they had offended him now, so their peaceful days were over.
After fully digesting all of Bai Xiaoxiao’s memories, Xu Mu didn’t hurry to leave the seabed. He wanted to see if Butian Pavilion’s Heavenly Spirit Treasure could locate his whereabouts. If so, then his future plans would need adjustment.
He stayed on for three months before finally leaving his hiding spot to return to Pursuing Wind City, now confident that Butian Pavilion could not detect him.
…
“Daddy!”
Seeing Xu Mu return, the previously listless Xu Tianlei instantly perked up.
“Did you get into any trouble?” asked Xu Mu.
“No! No!” Xu Tianlei shook her head vehemently.
“That’s good,” Xu Mu replied.
Hearing of Xu Mu’s return, Xu Tianmei and Ming Lingchun hurried over to greet him.
“Ah Chun, were these two bothering you?” Xu Mu asked.
“No, no! Sister Tianmei and sister Tianlei were very kind to me, especially sister Tianlei!” Ming Lingchun hastily replied.
Xu Mu turned to look and saw Xu Tianlei hurriedly retract her threatening gaze and started sheepishly grinning.
Xu Mu silently shook his head without pressing further.
“Pack up! We are leaving!”
“Daddy, where are we going?” Xu Tianlei asked excitedly.
She had been stuck here for months and was eager to go out.
“Palace of Pure Heart!”
Xu Mu didn’t bother hiding the destination. They would learn of it sooner rather than later anyway.
“The Palace of Pure Heart?”
The pair of sisters exchanged glances, remembering the token Xu Mu had given them.
“Daddy, why are we going there?”
“You’ll know when we get there.”
Xu Mu didn’t explain. He intended to request Mo Wuxin’s assistance to grant the two girls the title of disciples under the Four Seas Immortal Palace to make their future travels in the Outer Sea smoother.
Instead of using a magic artifact for the journey, the four traveled via the Cluster Star Sect’s Flying Boat. Although this slowed the journey slightly, it allowed the three of them to experience life in the Cang Ming Ocean Territory beforehand, preventing them from being exposed, and under his guidance, there was little danger of mishaps.
After a bit over a month, the party reached the Palace of Pure Heart. Mo Wuxin, who had been informed of their impending visit earlier, sent people to welcome them.
