Chapter 372: Chapter 341: Enemies on a Narrow Road _1

It’s you. What a small world we inhabit!

Xu Mu quickly remembered the identity of the woman in white, although it had been a while, the impression was still imprinted in his mind, too deep to forget.

On his return from Pursuing Wind City, he had met this woman in white. She tried to force him against his will after a few words, luckily, her master sister intervened and he was spared.

The mark of Butian Pavilion in the middle of her eyebrows, that was not easy to forget either.

Xiao Yi, Mu Yunwan, Mu Yuchan!

And the token of Butian, the spatial channel, the secret skill of Yin and Yang Harmony!

He had unknowingly become entangled with the Butian Pavilion.

Meeting the woman in white in this place, however, was unexpected.

Her presence here was not accidental. It was likely related to the Spatial Rift, as this area was not under the jurisdiction of Butian Pavilion. It couldn’t have just been a coincidental encounter.

Not to mention, she had emerged from the island where the Spatial Rift was located.

Xu Mu was certain that Butian Pavilion had discovered the location of the Spatial Channel, he was just unsure whether the Nascent Soul Stage was being guarded.

“Who are you? Why are you here?” Bai Xiaoxiao stared down and asked.

“I, I am a Loose Cultivator living nearby. I was just, just passing by!” Xu Mu stammered in reply.

“Passing by?”

Bai Xiaoxiao examined Xu Mu up and down with Divine Intent, suspicion filling her eyes. In an instant, her gaze flared and she spoke coldly, “How dare you lie to me. You must have hidden motives!”

“I…,”

As Xu Mu was trying to explain, Bai Xiaoxiao did not give him a chance. She performed a spell. In a split second, Xu Mu was ensnared and rendered motionless.

“Come with me, I will know how to deal with you!”

Excitement flashed in Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes. She grabbed Xu Mu and transformed into an Escape Light, heading towards the island.

During her inspection of Xu Mu with her Divine Intent just now, Bai Xiaoxiao had discovered that Xu Mu’s vitality was not only vigorous, but also very pure—a fine material for crucible cultivation. His cultivation level was just too low.

If it were normal times, she might not have considered Xu Mu. But things were different now. She had been posted to guard the Spatial Channel and would not be able to leave for any trivial reasons.

The Spiritual Energy in this area was thin and sparse. Other than Mortals passing by, there were only cultivators from the same sect.

Mortals didn’t gain her attention, while she couldn’t lay hands on the cultivators in the same sect. It had been a long time since she last cultivated utilizing a crucible.

How could she possibly miss out on a prey like Xu Mu that happened to pass by?

Just as the Escape Light was nearing the island, a layer of Array light appeared. Bai Xiaoxiao squeezed a spell through her finger Jue to open a gap and flew in.

Xu Mu observed his surroundings and found that the island he once saw had undergone drastic changes. Pavilions, terraced buildings, small bridges over flowing rivers, and the rich Spiritual Energy filled the atmosphere. It looked like a paradise isolated from the world.

With such elaborate setups, it looked like the people of Butian Pavilion planned to stay here for a long time!

Xu Mu inevitably felt a headache.

This Spatial Channel was a treasure land for him. Not only could he travel between two territories, but he could also sell resources for a huge profit.

But now that it was occupied by Butian Pavilion, it was almost impossible for him to take it back.

“I just don’t know what the other side is like. Has Butian Pavilion established contact with them?”

The other side of the Spatial Channel is Tongyou Sect’s trump card. Unlike when Xu Mu first discovered the Spatial Channel, the Tongyou Sect is now in full swing. In the Cang Ming Ocean Territory, apart from the mysterious Cluster Stars Sect, there should be no forces that could stand against them.

Now that Butian Pavilion has discovered the Spatial Channel and stationed people here, it is very likely that there will be conflicts with the Tongyou Sect.

It is uncertain whether Butian Pavilion will leverage the Spatial Channel to amass a great fortune, or will it end up being squeezed dry by the Tongyou Sect.
