194: All parties gathered

Hearing that Lu Yi had actually taken the initiative to invite his arch-rival Li Xiu to go search for the Treasure Trove together.

Shen Yueyao completely could not understand her husband's suffocating move.

"Are you crazy?"

Shen Yueyao puffed out her cheeks in anger, and while no one was paying attention, her slender hand with extreme precision found the softest piece of flesh on Lu Yi's waist.

Then.

"Twist—"

She pinched the soft flesh with two fingers and gave it a hard clockwise turn!

Her look clearly said:

"Are you stupid? Are you looking for trouble? Bringing a love rival to search for treasure, are you tired of living a comfortable life?"

"Hiss—!!"

Lu Yi sucked in a breath of cold air from the pain, his features nearly contorting.

But he had to force a hospitable smile on his face, not wanting to show any weakness in front of Li Xiu.

He quietly caught Shen Yueyao's mischievous hand behind his back, gave it a gentle squeeze in his palm, and took the chance to give her a meaningful look.

Shen Yueyao blinked, reading the calculation in Lu Yi's eyes, and suddenly felt that her previous pinch had been too light.

Meanwhile, Li Xiu, standing opposite them.

He was originally wondering if there was some hidden trap behind Lu Yi's sudden hospitality.

But in the next second.

He saw Lu Yi and Shen Yueyao "exchanging flirtatious glances" and "tugging at each other" (which was actually a pinch on the waist) right in front of him.

That sense of intimacy as if no one else was around stung his eyes deeply.

"Dammit!!"

The anger and competitive spirit in Li Xiu's heart instantly flared up like oil being poured onto a fire.

"He's showing off! He's humiliating me! If I back down now, won't it look like I'm afraid of him?"

"Perfect! I'll take this chance to show off my strength and Luck during the treasure hunt and get my revenge! I'll let Yueyao see who the real Sons of Destiny is!"

At this thought.

Li Xiu snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and resolutely agreed.

"Fine!! Since Brother Lu dares to invite me, I dare to go! I also want to see what this 'land of auspicious omens' Brother Lu speaks of actually looks like!"

Seeing that several of them had settled it.

Chu Siyao, who hadn't dared to speak up the whole time, was also feeling anxious.

She knew well that although she was the Eldest Young Miss backed by the Chu Family.

But her talent among this group of people—whether it was Lu Yi, Shen Yueyao, Li Xiu, or even the mysterious Lu Yuan—was only at the bottom of the pile.

Her cultivation was entirely piled up by Family resources.

"If I miss this great Opportunity that even the Old Ancestor values so much..."

"I'm afraid it will be hard to make any progress in the future, and I'll be left further and further behind by them."

Thinking of this, Chu Siyao bit her teeth, braced herself to take a step forward, and bowed respectfully to Chu Qianqian.

"Old Ancestor! Siyao takes the liberty to implore the Old Ancestor... to allow me to go as well!"

Chu Qianqian looked at the group of people before her.

She only felt a wave of dizziness, her temples throbbing.

Just look at what kind of people these were.

"Sigh..."

The "solo treasure hunt mission" Chu Qianqian had originally planned had completely turned into a "luxury tour group."

"What a mess..."

She helplessly rested her forehead in one hand, let out a long sigh, and completely gave up.

"Fine, fine, fine! Go, go, go!"

Chu Qianqian waved her hand as if herding ducks.

"Everyone go! Anyway, one more or one less doesn't make a difference! But let me say this upfront. There will be many mechanisms inside, and life or death is up to fate. Don't say I didn't warn you! I won't be responsible for burying you if you die!"

The team was assembled.

Lu Yi, Shen Yueyao, Chu Qianqian, Lu Yuan, Li Xiu, Chu Siyao, plus a fox that hadn't woken up yet.

This strange team delayed no longer.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The group turned into several streaks of light and left the Chu Family in a grand manner, charging straight through the wind and snow toward the remote mountains outside the city.

As their streaks of light swept across the sky above Cangyuan City, causing many Cultivators to look up.

Below, on the most prosperous street of Cangyuan City.

A young man dressed in white, shaking a folding fan and seemingly strolling around, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

It was Mu Yun, who had previously fooled Murong Cheng at the City Lord's Manor.

He looked up, and deep within his eyes that seemed as gentle as jade, there was now a profound, weathered, and all-seeing light flickering.

He watched the streaks of light receding rapidly; though they were too far to see their faces clearly.

But those powerful auras, especially the faint fluctuations of special Physiques emanating from them, made his brow twitch slightly.

"Hmm? This direction... and these auras..."

Mu Yun looked in that direction, his folding fan gently tapping against his palm.

In his mind, a long-buried memory flooded back like a tide.

Back then, he had heard that a lucky person in the Cangkong Realm had obtained a Legacy and soared to the top, becoming a powerhouse who later shook the world.

Unfortunately, in his previous life, he learned the news too late; the Opportunity had already been snatched away, leaving him with lifelong regret.

"In this life... I have returned through Rebirth."

Mu Yun gripped his folding fan tightly, a hint of ambition flashing in his eyes.

"Relying on the memories of my past life, I completed my Foundation early and made up for all my regrets. After my cultivation Breakthrough, I used an Ancient Cross-Realm Transportation Formation that only I knew about to arrive in this Cangkong Realm ahead of time."

At this thought, a shadow crossed Mu Yun's eyes.

To make things easier, he used some methods from his past life and his knowledge of the Murong Family's secrets to successfully fool that death-fearing Murong Cheng.

He wanted to use the local power to find the blurry entrance in his memory.

"Hmph, that useless Murong Cheng."

Mu Yun snorted coldly in his heart, his face full of disdain.

"He's simply too much of a Trash! I gave him so many clues, and after searching for half a month, he couldn't even find a single hair! He's truly like mud that can't be stuck to a wall!"

Mu Yun had already planned to ditch the City Lord's Manor and search for it himself.

Unexpectedly, today he actually sensed an abnormality in the Formation fluctuations from that direction.

"Heh..."

Mu Yun closed his folding fan, his lips curling into a confident, arrogant smile tinged with contempt.

It was the look of one in control watching the actors in a play.

He looked in the direction where Lu Yi and the others had disappeared, thinking to himself:

"It seems... someone has beaten me to it and found the entrance. However... the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

"It's fine if they open the path for me; it saves me the effort of breaking that troublesome Restriction. The things I missed in my past life... in this life, they are destined to belong only to me, Mu Yun!"

Next moment.

"Buzz—"

His figure suddenly became illusory.

He performed a profound Concealment Escape Technique he had obtained from a Forbidden Ground in his past life, and his whole being seemed to merge into the air.

Quietly and unhurriedly, he pursued the others.

At this point, all parties had gathered together.
