Li Mu immediately focused his spiritual sense on the dark golden bell on the ground.

The bell did indeed emanate a peculiar spiritual energy, but it was very faint and not particularly noticeable.

call!

He simply put the bell away with a single gesture.

Since Ah Ying said it was good, this bell should be just as good.

If Li Mu knew that this bell possessed the power to freeze a space-time continuum, he would surely be overjoyed and laugh out loud.

Zhang Jie and his companion were completely unaware that the freezing of time and space just now was due to the power of this bell-shaped magical artifact.

Therefore, they didn't pay any attention when they saw Li Mu pick up a bell.

"That's right, it's time-space freeze! This kind of supernatural power is extremely rare, but it does exist. These bandits must be using this strange power to rob guests. Luckily, there's a powerful expert hiding here, otherwise, we would be in trouble again!"

Zhang Jie explained.

"Sigh, it seems that Guangling Domain is really in chaos! A perfectly good inn was robbed and is now a complete ruin, with even the innkeeper killed."

Li Mu sighed helplessly.

"Yes, this Guangling Domain is truly a lawless area! Here, we really have to be on high alert at all times."

Zhang Yu nodded and then said.

"Strange, why didn't that mysterious powerful figure take the spoils after killing the bandits?"

Zhang Yu then noticed some spatial magical artifacts scattered on the ground and asked curiously.

"Hehe, if he doesn't want it, we'll just grab it! Come on, take it all! We'll split it three ways!"

Zhang Jie said with a smile, then gathered up all the spatial magic treasures and magic equipment scattered on the ground and placed them at his feet.

Li Mu didn't stand on ceremony and took about a third of it.

But perhaps all these spoils are not as valuable as that bell from before.

However, since Li Mu killed these people, it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to take them all. Giving some to Zhang Jie and his sister would be quite generous.

Zhang Jie and Zhang Yu were also very happy. Although their rest was disrupted, they were fortunate to have made an unexpected fortune.

"Amu, it seems we need to find another inn," Zhang Jie said.

"Brother, in my opinion, let's not bother looking for an inn anymore. Let's just find a place to set up a protective array and rest for the night. The three of us can meditate together or chat, it'll be fine," Zhang Yu quickly said.

She actually wanted to stay with Li Mu.

"I think Ayu is right. If inns are this unsafe, why waste spirit stones to stay in an inn?" Li Mu said.

"Alright then, let's find a secluded mountain forest outside the city to rest, and then go into the city at dawn to gather information and see if there are any worthwhile places to try our skills."

Zhang Jie nodded in agreement with his sister's suggestion.

So the three of them instantly teleported out of the city.

shhhhhh!

Not long after Li Mu and his two companions left, three figures appeared in the ruins of the inn.

One of the elderly men, dressed in a black robe and wearing a golden ghost mask, carefully examined the ruins.

"Damn it! Everyone's dead! And the treasures are gone! I knew Dulong was unreliable! I shouldn't have lent him that timed magic bell!"

The old man appeared very angry.

Clearly, these three were part of the same gang as the robbers wearing ghost masks from earlier.

In fact, these people came from a notorious evil force in the Guangling Domain—the Ghost Face Hall.

The Ghost Face Gang specializes in robbery, murder, and theft. They are a powerful and cunning force, and are both despised and feared in the Guangling Domain.

The Timed Bell was originally a famous magic weapon of the Ghost Face Hall, but now that it's gone, the hall master is furious.


A short, stocky subordinate, also wearing a ghost-head mask, spoke to the old man.

However, the ghost mask this person wore was the same silver one as the previous bandit leader.

The other robbers all wore black masks.

For the people of the Ghost Mask Hall, the color and material of their masks represent different social statuses.

"Pass down the order: conduct a thorough search throughout the entire City of Inquiry and the surrounding area! Report immediately if any trace of the Fairy Bell is found!"

The old man wearing a golden mask gave orders to his subordinates.

After speaking, the old man immediately teleported away, and his two subordinates followed suit.

Li Mu and his two companions had already arrived at a mountain peak not far from Wenling City.

There was a huge rock standing upright on the mountain peak. Li Mu set up a protective isolation array under the rock, and the three of them sat down on the ground.

Zhang Yu intentionally or unintentionally moved closer to Li Mu, and she felt very comfortable smelling Li Mu's unique scent.

"Brother Mu, you're also very skilled in array formations and restrictions! The arrays you set up look very advanced and powerful! I definitely couldn't set one up like that."

"Indeed, Amu's array formation is truly extraordinary!"

Zhang Yu and Zhang Jie praised Li Mu's protective isolation array highly.

"Hehe, you flatter me." Li Mu smiled modestly.

"Brother Mu, although your cultivation level seems a bit lower than ours, I always have a feeling you're a guy who's hiding his true strength! Hehe!"

Zhang Yu grinned and said to Li Mu.

"Haha, no matter how well you hide your skills, you're still a weakling here!" Li Mu laughed.

"Being weak now doesn't mean we'll be weak in the future! I believe that as long as we persevere, we will definitely become true strongmen! At that time, we will no longer be bullied by anyone!"

Zhang Jie said.

His eyes also held a resolute and stubborn determination to defy fate.

Li Mu already knew about the siblings' experiences and could understand their fighting spirit and desire to become strong.

They were originally young masters and ladies from wealthy families who lived a life of luxury, but they were rejected and bullied by their families and had no choice but to escape to gain experience. They must have been harboring resentment and hatred in their hearts.

"Um, Brother Jie, do you guys have cigarettes here?"

Li Mu's craving for cigarettes returned, and he patted Zhang Jie's arm and asked.

"Cigarettes? What are those? I've never heard of them before!"

Zhang Jie shook his head.

Zhang Yu shook her head, indicating that she had no idea what such a thing was.

"Master, there are no cigarettes on this Three Saints Star! Nothing like that exists. The people here don't smoke cigarettes or anything like that!"

At this moment, Ah Ying spoke in Li Mu's mind.

Clearly, she had gathered almost all the information about this world.

"Okay," Li Mu replied helplessly.

"Uh, never mind, I was just asking," Li Mu said with a smile to Zhang Jie and the other person.

So, after chatting for a while, the three of them sat cross-legged and entered a meditative state.

"Brother Mu, can I ask you a personal question?"

Just as Li Mu closed his eyes to meditate, Zhang Yu suddenly transmitted a message to him through his soul.

Clearly, the girl wanted to talk to Li Mu alone and didn't want her brother to hear.
