With the Absolute Breath Stone covering him, he was not afraid of being locked onto by King Wuyou. As long as he carefully concealed his body and ran thousands of miles away in one breath, he would most likely be able to escape the entanglement of that damn thing.
"Good fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. Although the gate of hell was destroyed, another way to escape was found."
"However, this method can only help a small number of people escape. As for the ghosts gathered by the Wangchuan River in Feng'an City..." Chen Mu turned his head and looked at the river in the distance.
At this moment, everyone in Feng'an City is busy building a new Ghost Gate.
These people are relatively safe for now, but once Qingyang City successfully captures Feng'an City Lord Lu Chengshan, the fate of the evil spirits will probably not be good.
He originally wanted to take them to Tianwaitian, but the Lord of Qingyang City sent Shangyang to destroy Guimenguan.
"That's right. Lu Chengshan hid the Netherworld Stone among the people in Feng'an City. These people are Lu Chengshan's anchor point to return to the underworld."
"As long as Qingyang City keeps an eye on these people, they can catch Lu Chengshan in the trap. Naturally, they will not be allowed to escape."
"What a damned world!"
Chen Mu sighed helplessly.
Starting from Daliang, he traveled to many places along the way, but no matter where he went, there was always fighting and chaos. And the unlucky ones were always the little people like them.
He wanted to help, but he himself was already in danger and it was difficult to save him.
Looking at the busy crowd in the distance, Chen Mu felt heavy in his heart.
"It would be great if there were more people like Zhang Er who could create the Breathless Stone. What a pity..."

Chapter 516 Secret Record
"Well...it seems that there is a solution."
In the stone house beside the Wangchuan River, Chen Mu's heart moved, and he turned to look at Zhang Er: "Is your ability to create the Absolute Breath Stone a magical power or a secret method?"
Zhang Er didn't understand why, but he didn't dare to hide it: "It's a magical power."
What a pity.
If it were a secret method, it would be simple.
Chen Mu took out a large wooden bookcase from the Five Ghosts Bag and began to search.
All the copies of scriptures, secret techniques, anecdotes and biographies he had obtained over the decades were in this bookcase.
After a while, he took out a brown-yellow animal skin scroll from the lower wooden box. When he unfolded the animal skin scroll, the four large characters "Secret Record of Embroidery Method" came into view first.
When Jilong Dao moved to Dongling Mountains, there were constant conflicts with the local barbarians.
The Yingchouya Villa on Jilong Road was destroyed by the barbarian alliance, and Chen Mu experienced this disaster at that time.
After escaping underground by pointing his finger at the ground and turning it into steel, he obtained this animal skin scroll by chance.
This secret method can absorb the monster's energy and seal it into one's own body, cultivate and grow it with one's own energy, blood and essence, and then obtain some of the monster's innate magical powers.
The innate magical powers of the Yin spirits are very similar to the talents of the monsters. If this secret method can be used...
Chen Mu looked at Zhang Er and couldn't help but smile.
……
Three days later, by the Forgotten River, in a stone house.
A drop of blood with a bright red glow flew out from Zhang Er's fingertips and fell into Chen Mu's palm. The Yin Spirit's divine power enveloped and pulled it, and the blood slowly seeped into the skin, leaving a red dot the size of a mung bean, like a red mole.
"It's done!" Chen Mu was delighted.
The embroidery secrets came from the Dongling barbarians in the mortal world. Most of the operations were primitive, rough and bloody, mostly using the essence of the three treasures of the living being. But there were still some steps that required the use of mana.
The Yin spirits only have divine powers but no magical powers, so it will definitely not work to copy and use them.
He had been pondering day and night in the past few days, and figured out the working principle of the secret record through the feedback from the gray wall. He then used the power of the Yin spirit to simulate and replace it, and finally succeeded.
"Fortunately, the foundation of this secret technique is extremely primitive. If it is really an exquisite magical secret technique, it may not be successful." Chen Mu was thankful.
"All that's left is to invest your essence, energy and blood to stimulate your growth, and then you will have a high chance of obtaining Zhang Er's breath-killing ability."
"Although the upper limit is at most Zhang Er's current level, if it is activated by the Yin Spirit power that far exceeds Zhang Er's own specifications, it will be enough for the time being."
Chen Mu stood up and walked to the window, looking at Li Wuyou who was looming in the distance.
Qingyang City wanted to trap all the people in Feng'an City by the river in order to lock the Nether Stone. When the Lord of Feng'an City returned from Tianwaitian, he would immediately fall into the encirclement of Qingyang City.
"If I take away all the evil spirits in Feng'an City quietly, I wonder what kind of wonderful expression will appear on the face of the person behind the scenes."
Whenever Chen Mu thought of the frustration and anger that the Lord of Qingyang City felt when he learned that everyone in Feng'an City had disappeared without a trace, a smile appeared on his face.
He had no grudges against Qingyang City, but who made the other party want to trap him to death around the Wangchuan River?
He is not that kind to ask him to save people for no reason.
But if he could do his best to cause trouble to Qingyang City, or even directly ruin the other party's plan, he would be very happy.
"It's a courtesy to return gifts. I'm just that polite. Haha..."
……
evening.
On the corridor outside the stone house, Chen Mu was lying in a rocking chair.
In the distance, the calm surface of the Forgotten River met the sky. The dim sunset was half hanging in the sky and half falling below the horizon, as if it was about to sink into the Forgotten River.
The ghosts in Feng'an City are still busy building the Ghost Gate.
"With such an undisguised action, I'm afraid Qingyang City will send people to cause trouble."
"With the precedent of the one-horned ghost king Shangyang, wouldn't it be safer to secretly build the Ghost Gate?" Chen Mu looked at Lu Liang in confusion.
It would be okay to try his failed human-shaped gate of hell plan.
Lu Liang, who was sitting on the bamboo chair next to him, didn't say anything, but gave Chen Mu a meaningful smile.
Chen Mu suddenly understood.
Has this guy already taken action in secret?
Concealing the truth, a two-pronged approach? On the surface, this attracted the attention of Qingyang City's spies, but secretly, another gate to hell was being built?
Good guy!
I didn't even realize that this City Lord Lu Shao is quite something.
"Can this be accomplished?" Chen Mu became interested.
Lu Liang smiled bitterly and sighed: "All we can do is to do our best and leave the rest to fate."
Qingyang City has long been eyeing Feng'an City. There is no telling how many spies are hiding among the evil spirits, and it is impossible to catch them all.
He was already careful enough, but he still couldn't guarantee that there would be no leaks.
"The worst that can happen is that both sides will die." Lu Liang said calmly.
Chen Mu suddenly raised his eyebrows.
"Do you know why Qingyang City surrounded us but did not attack us?" Lu Liang chuckled: "The Nether Stone is indeed hidden among the ghosts in Feng'an City. But if too many of these ghosts are killed or injured, the Nether Stone will escape into the void and disappear completely."
Chen Mu suddenly understood.
"I have a secret method called Guixu, which can open the gate of the Netherworld and make me fall into the Netherworld." Lu Liang said calmly, "I can't run away, so I will use the Danshan Sutra to drag all the ghosts in Feng'an City into the Netherworld."
Chen Mu was suddenly shocked.
The Nine Netherworld contains endless green flames, which is the final destination of the Yin spirits. Is this going to drag everyone in Feng'an City to death together?
What a ruthless person!
"Actually, it's not like there's no chance to escape." Chen Mu said with a light cough.
"You mean the Breathless Stone?" Lu Liang's mind raced, and he looked at Chen Mu in surprise: "Could it be that you can plunder the other party's magical powers and pass them on to everyone with the spirit seed?"
After learning about Zhang Er's secret method, he had already rehearsed the use of the secret method. It was obvious that Zhang Er alone could not support everyone to escape from the Forgotten River.
"That's not possible." Chen Mu shook his head.
"But it's okay to let everyone borrow that guy's magical powers temporarily." He handed the animal skin scroll to Lu Liang with a smile.
"Secret records of embroidery techniques?" Lu Liang raised his eyebrows immediately.
……
half a month later.
At night, the moon has just risen.
A light mist floated over the Forgotten River as usual.
A breeze blew by, and the fog moved with the wind, slowly covering the shore. As time passed, it became thicker and thicker until it completely covered the entire riverside camp.
"Have you thought about it?"
"For the past twenty days, no one has come to cause trouble in Qingyang City. If we continue to stay by the river, we might be able to build a gate to hell."
Inside the stone house, Chen Mu slowly calmed down the Yin spirit's divine power and looked through the increasingly thick divine fog. The light of the campfire in the camp in the distance was faintly visible.
"That's impossible." Lu Liang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I have thought it through these days. Since Qingyang City already knows that we have the ability to build the Ghost Gate, there is no way we can succeed."
Although he had made preparations for both scenarios, he was building a ghost gate both openly and secretly.
But the overall strength of Feng'an City is limited after all. Qingyang City has existed for a thousand years, and there is no telling how many hidden hands there are like Shang Guiwang.
If several divine fetuses and evil spirits appear at the same time, all the methods prepared before will be useless.
Moreover, with the cover of the Absolute Breath Ability, Chen Mu obviously would not continue to stay by the Forgetful River. If he were to stay with his men, the outcome would most likely not be good. Rather than waiting to die, it would be better to try to escape.
"I'm just afraid that someone outside will block us along the way." Lu Liang was worried.
Chen Mu smiled instead.
"As long as we can get rid of King Wuyou's entanglement, everything else will be easy."
At worst, I can just hide in Qiandeng City.
Just avoid the strange existence of King Wuyou.
Without the guidance of others, he didn't believe that anyone could find and invade the Qiandeng City Cave from the vast void.
