“Stay inside, I’ll go outside and see!”
Instructing Ye Yingying to take Little Ling’er and hide within the defensive array, Xu Mu stepped out of the house, casting a light body skill.
He propelled off his tiptoe!
A jump, and he was on the rooftop!
Xu Mu gazed into the distance.
The night was clear with scattered stars and breezes came in waves, rather pleasant.
But Xu Mu had no mood to appreciate this.
In his pupils reflected glimmers of fire and streaks of swords flying past.
The city had become a sea of blood and fire, cries for battle and the clash of swords constantly echoed.
“Was it the Chi Family’s doing? Or was it just them?”
Xu Mu recalled the warning from Chi Feiyan during the day.
As for the motive, it was self-explanatory.
To take a huge risk before their departure.
The most unfortunate were those families that had lost their foundation establishment stage members.
According to Chi Feiyan, out of the original seven foundation establishment families, only two or three still had members in the foundation establishment phase.
Unfortunately, she didn’t tell him which families they were.
He just hoped that it wasn’t the Luo Family!
Xu Mu prayed silently.
“Friend Xu!

Lan Shijin also emerged from the house, manipulating her flying sword to land beside Xu Mu.
The sweet scent around her made Xu Mu involuntarily rub his nose.
“Do you know what’s happening, Friend Xu?”
Looking at the distant fires, Lan Shijin wore a worried expression.
She was 80% convinced that if the Clear River Sword Sect hadn’t been defeated, this wouldn’t have happened.
“It’s all for benefits! A few families just want to take one last opportunity before their departure!” Xu Mu sighed.
After tonight, even without the Soul Forging Sect, White Stone City would be completely desolate.
Not only did Xu Mu and Lan Shijin hear the commotion, but other residents of the slum area also heard it and hurried out to inspect.
Some had gleaming eyes, some looked astonished!
Some rushed back home, some stealthily hurried over.
The chaos in the city was both a peril and an opportunity.
It all depends on how you look at it!
“Friend Xu, I’m thinking we should leave together tomorrow!”
Lan Shijin hesitated before saying.
Given the current situation, there was no way to stay in White Stone City anymore.
After tonight, the entire city would descend into chaos. Leaving with Xu Mu at least meant protection from a foundation establishment cultivator.
“That’s great!” Xu Mu said happily.
“Why don’t you move over tonight? It’s a good idea to have each other’s back in case things get dangerous!”
The chaos had only just begun, and no one knew whether it would spread to the slums.
“Okay!”
Lan Shijin simply nodded her head.
Hesitation was unnecessary since they had made the decision to leave together.
Xu Mu told the three women and Little Ling’er to stay inside while he kept watch outside.
The city’s confusion was spreading as he anticipated. Apparently, in addition to the major families, many loose cultivators also joined, all the bold ones were indulging in this final frenzy.
Xu Mu also felt a strong urge to join, but considering his wife and daughter at home, he gave up the idea of taking risk.
“I wonder if Friend Su and Shopkeeper Tu are in danger?”
He didn’t know many people, these two were the only ones living in the city.
Su Qing should be prepared and if she had the Song family’s protection, her safety should be assured.
Shopkeeper Tu, an experienced old hand, should also be able to survive.
Of course, that was just his personal guess, no one knew the specifics.
While keeping watch outside, Xu Mu wasn’t idle. He had his system upgrade his fire-controlling skill.
Originally, he thought to wait until the tier three fire-controlling skill reached proficiency and naturally integrate it, thereby saving some luck value. But it looked like he couldn’t wait now.
Better to upgrade for safety’s sake!
Lest, in the end, he might die, but the points would still remain!
“Tier Three Fire-controlling Skill +10!”
