Divine fortune teller and traditional Chinese medicine doctor

Having just received a series of amazing magical treasures, Li Mu hadn't even recovered from his surprise when trouble struck.

Without a doubt, the people who came in from outside the protective array were from the Ghost Face Hall!

Because as long as Li Mu activates the bell, they can immediately locate its position!

"Huh? Why isn't there a soul in sight? This is the location the sect leader was targeting!"

The elderly man at the head, wearing a golden ghost mask, looked puzzled after examining the area.

"Vice Hall Master, there's no mistake, the person who stole the Fairy Bell must have gone into hiding!"

"Yeah, we didn't detect any spiritual energy fluctuations either. Even if that guy wanted to escape, he couldn't have done so without creating any spiritual energy fluctuations, right? This means that guy is right here, using some kind of concealment technique to hide!"

The two subordinates spoke in turn.

Their conversation was naturally overheard by Li Mu and the other two inside the protective array.

"Amu, what is this 'Fairy Bell' that these people are talking about? Are they here to see us?"

Zhang Jie asked Li Mu.

All the robbers in the inn were blasted into nothingness; otherwise, Zhang Jie could have guessed from the masks they were wearing that these people were probably looking for them.

"They did come looking for us. Judging from the masks they were wearing, they were in cahoots with the robbers at the inn."

Li Mu responded.

"Huh? We didn't kill those robbers, so why were they chasing us?" Zhang Yu asked, her beautiful eyes wide.

"It must be that we stole their cultivation resources. For example, the bell I picked up should be what they call the Immortal Bell," Li Mu said.

"Hmph, these thieves are truly despicable. They're allowed to rob others, but not others can take their things? But Ah Mu, the concealment power of your protective array is truly formidable! They're right outside yet they can't detect us at all. The old man they call the Deputy Hall Master is quite powerful; he's probably reached the high-level Venerable Realm!"

Zhang Jie snorted coldly.

However, after sensing the other party's strength, fear still lingered in his eyes.

With their strength, they really had no chance of resisting a Venerable Realm expert.

"The weakest of these people is at the eighth level of the Divine Realm. We are no match for them at all! Brother, Brother Mu, if it's not working, let's just return those things to them."

Zhang Yu, who had little experience in the martial arts world, immediately spoke up.

"If we return the items to them, they'll assume we killed the inn's robbers. Do you think they'll let us go then?"

Zhang Jie looked at his sister and asked.

"That's right. In this lawless Guangling Domain, these thieves kill without blinking an eye. No matter whether we killed the people in the inn or not, they won't let us go. But don't worry, they might not be able to detect my protective array, and even if they do, they might not be able to break it."

Li Mu spoke confidently to Zhang Jie and his sister.

"Ah Ying, who are these people?"

Li Mu then used his soul consciousness to question Wanji Shengying.

This magical artifact can quickly obtain relevant information about the people and things it detects.

"Master, these people are from a force called Ghost Face Hall in the Guangling Domain. Ghost Face Hall has branches in almost every city in the Guangling Domain, with its headquarters in Guangling City, the core area of ​​the Guangling Domain. This force is considered very powerful in the Guangling Domain. They mainly amass wealth and resources through murder, robbery, extortion, and other means. Ghost Face Hall acts arrogantly, domineeringly, treacherously, and cruelly. They possess some strange and unpredictable offensive magical artifacts that are difficult to defend against. Even the most powerful forces dare not easily provoke them. Among these seven people, the old man wearing a golden mask is the deputy leader of Ghost Face Hall, a sixth-level Venerable Realm cultivator named Lu Kuang. The remaining six are all key members of the Ghost Face Hall branch in Wenling City. Judging from their conversation just now, they should be here for the timed immortal bell. They obviously have some means to accurately locate the bell's position. I suspect that it's possible that Master activated the bell just now, revealing their location!"

Ah Ying responded.

"Huh? Activating the magic weapon allows them to pinpoint its exact location? Holy crap? Isn't this magic weapon mine already? How can they still sense and lock onto it?"

Li Mu was very surprised.

"Master, this is just my guess! After all, if we hadn't activated the fairy bell and revealed our location, how could they have found us so quickly?"

"Hmm, Ah Ying's guess makes a lot of sense. Could it be that they really possess another timer bell? Can these two bells sense each other? And thus be able to locate each other?"

Li Mu guessed.

"Hmm, I think Master's guess is very likely! I'm also very curious about what powerful and rare abilities the other fairy bell will possess?" Wanhe said.

"Ah Ying, can you find any information about whether Ghost Face Hall has another Fairy Bell?" Li Mu asked Ah Ying again.

"We can't find it yet, Master. Even if there's another fairy bell, it's definitely not on them," A-Ying replied.

"Alright, if that's the case, it's impossible to get rid of this Ghost Face Hall's entanglement unless we never use the Timed Immortal Bell again, or... just wipe out the Ghost Face Hall!"

"Master, I would much rather you destroy the Ghost Face Hall and obtain the other possible Immortal Bell. I'm also very curious about what kind of magical powers the other Immortal Bell would possess. What if these two Immortal Bells could combine? If Wanhe were to fuse them, this magical treasure would be even more powerful!"

It has to be said that Ah Ying's words were very persuasive, making Li Mu quite excited.

However, directly confronting such a force, or even annihilating it, would be extremely challenging for Li Mu at this point!

Even though he now possesses a powerful kitchen knife, this offensive weapon consumes a great deal of his energy, almost draining all his spiritual power with each use.

The newly acquired Timed Bell also consumes a huge amount of spiritual and soul power, so these two magical treasures cannot be used at the same time.

Of course, Li Mu also has other advantages in this world, such as his array restriction supernatural powers and rune magic supernatural powers.

Perhaps the second option is very challenging for him, but it may not be without the possibility of success!

"Hopefully they won't discover us. The newcomers are all very powerful; we can't possibly be their match."

Zhang Jie looked very nervous at this moment.

Zhang Yu also stared intently at the outside of the protective array, not daring to utter a sound.

"Vice Hall Master, according to the Hall Master's instructions, the exact location of the fairy bell should be under that giant rock ahead!"

One of his subordinates suddenly pointed to the huge boulder where Li Mu and the others were and said.

So, the group of Ghost Faces slowly approached the boulder, and everyone's eyes seemed to be fixed on the protective array set up by Li Mu.

"Oh no! They've spotted us!"

Zhang Yu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
