Before long, Mr. Lee sent over an image.

Wang Mu looked at the location and found it was near Glazed Lake.

The image wasn't detailed, more like a flat map, similar to those of China.

[Mr. Lee: The items should be easy to find. One is a rope, the Immortal Binding Rope from the Upper Realm. The other is the Demon Capturing Bottle. Since they are Upper Realm Magic Treasures, they lose their immortal nature upon falling to the Lower Realm and can't exert their normal effects. They need the blood of an Immortal Beast to be triggered, at which point they will automatically bind immortals and capture demons.]

[Wang Mu: What happens after they're captured?]

[Mr. Lee: I'll send someone to collect them.]

[Wang Mu: Immortals from the Upper Realm can't descend to the mortal world, can they?]

[Mr. Lee: One only needs to take on a mortal form, adhere to the order of the Lower Realm's Heavenly Dao, and not stay for many days. That's all.]

Wang Mu nodded, not thinking too much about it. Could one ever fully understand the order of the Upper Realm?

He disconnected the Divine Light Mirror. Just as he did, the Divine Light Mirror connected to the Moon Palace Fairy started vibrating.

Wang Mu had no choice but to pick up another Divine Light Mirror.

[Moon God: Have you concocted any follow-up?]

[Wang Mu: Not yet.]

This Moon God is useless for now; she can get lost.

[Moon God: You, little cultivator... I've noticed there's something wrong with your Emotional Threads again, you know? Do you want to know?]

"..." Wang Mu.

[Moon God: Alas, such a sentimental creature you are.]

[Wang Mu: Actually, there is indeed a sequel...]

[Moon God: Out with it quickly!]

Wang Mu could only briefly describe his recent experiences.

Of course, in his story, Heroine Yan naturally wouldn't be mentioned as someone he needed.

He merely said that after changing names, the young man and young woman formed a bond...

[Moon God: This follow-up is not bad. It has a lingering charm and leaves room for imagination... Not bad...]

[Moon God: There are two Emotional Threads about to wind around you, binding you tight—you might be in danger of losing your life.]

"?" Wang Mu.

Danger to my life?

Winding together?

Wang Mu frowned slightly. Things are quite harmonious now, aren't they?

[Moon God: That's all I can say; revealing any more would be disclosing heavenly secrets! Besides, the Moon Palace is rather desolate lately, and the mortal world's romantic fates are somewhat chaotic. I plan to go to the Lower Realm to inspect. Pick a day for me to survey the Lower Realm.]

[Wang Mu: Immortals from the Upper Realm aren't supposed to descend to the mortal world, are they?]

[Moon God: Yes, but I'm inspecting the Lower Realm, assuming a mortal guise, not descending as an immortal.]

[Wang Mu: Is that allowed?]

[Moon God: Why are you, a little cultivator, worrying about this? As an immortal in charge of mortal romance, if I sense turmoil, it means there must be a problem. Naturally, an inspection is needed.]

Wang Mu was suspicious.

[Wang Mu: I'm not free. Someone else will receive you when the time comes.]

[Moon God: Sure, as long as somebody isn't afraid of their Emotional Threads becoming entangled.]

"..." Wang Mu.

[Wang Mu: We'll see when the time comes.]

After speaking, Wang Mu disconnected the Divine Light Mirror.

What a bother. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Wang Mu shook his head, not dwelling on it, and headed to the Fengyue Sect.

Upon entering the sect, he transformed back into Dongfang Mu's appearance.

「After entering the sect.」

Wang Mu smoothly arrived at the back mountain's stele of the Fengyue Sect and saw Mu Hongyuan.

"You're back?"

At that time, Demoness Mu was meditating on the stele.

Seeming to sense Wang Mu's presence, she simply asked, "Is everything resolved?"

Wang Mu nodded.

Next, he had to figure out how to persuade Demoness Mu to take a trip to the Overseas Immortal Island.

"Quite fast, huh... How did you resolve it? Tell your sister all about it?"

Mu Hongyuan opened her enchanting phoenix eyes.

"Nothing much to tell..." Wang Mu answered offhandedly. "That Piao Miaoxu wanted to transform into a member of the Dark Alien Race, but I stopped her with the Shadow Hong Saber. After all, I'm the one who uses that saber; she couldn't really wield it. Just like you, she merely wanted to gain power by absorbing the blood of Dark Alien Race members..."

Mu Hongyuan narrowed her eyes slightly.

"And Yan Sword Immortal?"

"She was naturally helping me," said Wang Mu. "After all, I couldn't have solved it alone. I also have to thank you, Sister Mu, for this Unrivaled Bell. Without it, I wouldn't have been able to deal with so many Dark Alien Race members."

"Really?" Mu Hongyuan spoke languidly. "This Unrivaled Bell of mine couldn't have helped you deal with that many Dark Alien Race members... When you went, Yan Qingwu probably couldn't have held out for long... Piao Miaoxu was transforming into a Dark Alien Race member... And inside the Eight Desolate Netherworld, after a thousand years, who knows how many Dark Alien Race members there are..."

"How did you make it out alive?"

"Brother Mu, you're not being honest. You haven't told your sister the truth."

Am I supposed to tell her about Ying? Isn't that just asking for death? Besides, as long as I don't say anything, what can she do? Wang Mu thought to himself.

From such a distance, Mu Hongyuan could at most sense the seal. There's no way she could know what happened inside the Dark Border.

"No, everything I've said is true," Wang Mu insisted.

He just hadn't mentioned the details, that's all.

"Brother Mu..." Mu Hongyuan stood up, her long skirt swaying, a charming smile on her face. "Do you know what happens to people who lie to me?"

"I didn't lie to you," Wang Mu shook his head.

"Then clear things up for me..." Mu Hongyuan narrowed her eyes. "Tell the truth, speak up, and I absolutely won't be mad."

Something felt off to Wang Mu.

Usually, when a woman says something like this, it's highly likely she already knows something.

But it could also be a bluff. Considering Demoness Mu's personality, he figured she was probably trying to trick him.

Wang Mu stayed silent.

"Hmph..." Mu Hongyuan spoke somberly. "When you need me, you say you place me in your heart. When you don't, you think you can just casually deceive me, is that it?"

"Brother Mu, you've truly disappointed me."
