The three of them reached a consensus: the Mu Family is formidable and is likely one of the most mysterious families in Eternal Peace Land. Moreover, their capture of the Western Celestial Law Ancestor seemed like a casual act, and handing the Western Celestial Law Ancestor over to someone from Upper Space was merely a matter of bargaining.
The Mu Family is deep! It's hard to see through!
Just as they were feeling anxious, Guan Yue and Lan Xuelei returned with Mo Huatian.
The group, along with Mo Huatian, gathered in the Sky-Sealing Tower to discuss their next course of action.
Guan Yue said, "In that case, let's go directly to find someone from Upper Space."
He briefly explained the situation regarding Lu Qing, which immediately made Ruyi Girl anxious. She urged them to hurry to Dawson Empire to meet Lu Qing.
Guan Yue asked her to wait a moment. He then informed Ruyi Girl about the Origin Tool. Upon hearing that the Origin Tool was in the Mu Family, Ruyi Girl suppressed her anxiety and prioritized seizing the Origin Tool!
Otherwise, if they truly engaged with the Mu Family, they would suffer significant losses.
The Mu Family is like a den of dragons and tigers; even within the Sky-Sealing Tower, they could be discovered if there were indeed Great Deities inside. Ruyi Girl understood the gravity of the situation and agreed for Guan Yue to go alone in search of the Origin Tool.
Ruyi Girl personally helped Guan Yue with his disguise, and then he left the Sky-Sealing Tower alone, heading towards the Mu Family. Accompanying him were two Eternal Realm Peak Cultivators.
This meant that Guan Yue successfully replaced a peak Eternal Realm Disciple and entered the Mu Family Courtyard.
Meanwhile, Ruyi Girl, Guan Tian, Lan Xuelei and his clone, Mo Huatian, Lat's Hand, Jin Xi, Gao Yuxin, and others remained outside the Mu Family, staying vigilant and waiting for news from Guan Yue. If necessary, they would launch a strong attack from outside to support Guan Yue.
The Mu Family truly lives up to its reputation as an ancient family; the architecture inside is quaint and elegant, constructed with exquisite materials. Once inside the courtyard, everything within Guan Yue's sight was very clean and tidy.
Although people came and went in a steady stream, everyone adhered strictly to established rules, with no fighting or shouting occurring at all.
Various shops lined both sides of the main street.
Guan Yue first saw a tall building several stories high, only to realize it was a school filled with the children of the Mu Family studying. There were quite a few such buildings, mostly schools and markets.
It was evident that the Mu Family prioritized both education and economy. Schools and markets occupied the best buildings within the Mu Family.
As Guan Yue continued walking, he came across large training grounds for Disciples. The facilities were very simple but sturdy. They aimed to train strong Disciples of the Wood Family's Invincible Warriors under harsh conditions.
Despite the older generation of the Mu Family holding such views, the Wood Family Head had not participated in worldly conflicts for many years, leading to a lack of practical experience. His arrogance made him believe that the Mu Family was invincible, gradually fostering a habit of oppressing others with power. As a result, in recent years, there had been fewer outstanding Disciples among the Wood Family Youth. This was a significant concern for the older generation of the Mu Family.
To address this, they frequently held various internal competitions within the family, using different prizes to motivate younger members or encourage them to train hard. Guan Yue happened to encounter an internal competition among the Mu Family's Disciples.
From Guan Yue's observation, all participants were around fifteen or sixteen years old, but there was a severe hierarchy among them.
The Direct Line of the Mu Family's disciples were arrogant, while those from the Branch of the Mu Family bullied others. The Branching of the Mu Family showed submission, and Outsiders could only strive for victory alone.
Fortunately, the Mu Family did not reject Outsiders from participating in competitions. As long as they were excellent children from Outsider families willing to change their surnames to Mu, they could join all activities of the Mu Family. However, in practice, outsiders still did not receive fair treatment.
Guan Yue watched several matches by the Arena and got to know a few children from Outsider families as well as those from the Branch of the Mu Family.
After they finished competing, Guan Yue invited them to a restaurant for a meal. Since Guan Yue was now a peak Disciple of Eternal Realm, those children were very happy to follow him for dinner. Watching them eat ravenously, Guan Yue felt a pang of sadness. It seemed they usually struggled to get enough food, yet they persisted in their training and achieved good results; it wasn't easy for them!
Once these kids had eaten their fill, Guan Yue said to them, "I saw your performance in the Arena today and I am very pleased with it. Come back here at this time tomorrow; I will treat you to another meal and give each of you five Golden Jades. If you complete the tasks I assign you tomorrow, each of you can earn an additional one hundred Golden Jades. You just need one day to do it. Alright, see you tomorrow."
With that, Guan Yue vanished in an instant, leaving those children in awe!
Next, Guan Yue needed to find the location of the Origin Tool. He continued deeper into the Mu Family territory until he reached an isolated courtyard surrounded by walls; even his peak Disciple status in Eternal Realm could not grant him entry here.
Guan Yue wandered around outside this courtyard for quite some time before noticing a young man walking out from inside. This young man was very arrogant; upon seeing Guan Yue, he shouted loudly, "Damn it! Who do you think you are coming out here? Get lost! If you show up here again, you'll regret it."
Guan Yue glanced at him; he looked only about fifteen or sixteen but was already at High-Quality in Eternal Realm. He must be a relative from the Direct Line of the Mu Family—perhaps even a descendant favored by the family. So Guan Yue struck him down with a palm strike and quickly dragged him away to a secluded spot.
Just after pulling him away, a master approached and surveyed the area before slowly retreating back.
Guan Yue set up a small formation around himself, completely isolating the area, and then used the Mental Manipulation Technique on the arrogant young man. After gaining control over his Willpower, Guan Yue immediately sought to understand the situation within the Mu Family's courtyard.
Through the boy's memories, Guan Yue learned that this courtyard was a top-secret location for the Mu Family. Only the Grand Elder of the Mu Family and direct relatives of the current family head were allowed inside. Furthermore, women were strictly prohibited from entering. However, there were many female servants inside, but these women could only live out their lives within those walls and were not allowed to leave.
In other words, this courtyard was a paradise for men. Even this little brat in front of Guan Yue had just dealt with two girls inside. Who would have thought that he would end up in Guan Yue's hands right after coming out?
The boy also knew that there was a large prison within the courtyard, housing many formidable characters and enemies of the Mu Family. This prison was located at the southernmost part of the courtyard, next to a small hill.
He was aware of a treasure vault belonging to the Mu Family within the courtyard, but its exact location was highly confidential. He only knew it was near a lake.
Once Guan Yue completely controlled the boy's mind, he woke him up and instructed him to go back into the courtyard to find out the specific location of the treasure vault. This information was crucial for Guan Yue.
At that moment, Guan Yue summoned the Yang Sword Spirit of the Azure Dragon Yin-Yang Sword and requested its help in locating the Artifact Infant of the Origin Tool. Although Guan Yue had established a blood bond with it, they had never been close, resulting in very weak mutual sensing; he couldn't detect its presence at all.
The Yang Sword Spirit of the Azure Dragon Yin-Yang Sword immediately agreed to Guan Yue's request and entered the courtyard to explore. All Guan Yue needed was for it to determine the direction, so it searched diligently. If it weren't for life-and-death stakes, it would be impossible for the Artifact Infant of Celestial Soldier to do anything outside its own matters.
This willingness stemmed from Guan Yue helping to repair the damage previously inflicted on them, which is why they were willing to follow his commands.
The exploration by Celestial Soldier's Artifact Infant did not cause any Vital Energy Fluctuation, so it wouldn't be detected by disciples. Moreover, the Artifact Infant of Origin Tool was more advanced than that of Celestial Soldier's, making its pressure easily detectable by Celestial Soldier's Artifact Infant. Thus, shortly after entering Mu Family's courtyard, it discovered where the Origin Tool was located: in Mu Family's highest shrine!
It turned out that the Origin Tool was being revered as a sacred object by the Mu Family!
Guan Yue felt completely at a loss: how could he handle this?
Could he even take anything from that place?
However, if he didn't take away the Origin Tool, it would bring great trouble for future events; perhaps he wouldn't even be able to form an alliance with Mother of Heaven and Earth. Not to mention rescuing her.
He had no choice but to charge into this dragon's lair today. Because Guan Yue shared a deep connection with Guan Tian, he understood what Jiang Tianlan had said about Guan Tian; it was likely that the headquarters of Holy Spirit Alliance was located within this Mu Family courtyard.
Perhaps there were several Great Deities stationed inside right now! But did they fear them?
No, absolutely not!
A man must take responsibility!
For the responsibilities that a man should bear, what is death to fear?
Moreover, I still have Guan Tian; I cannot die!
Guan Yue waited for the young man to return and immediately inquired about the security situation in the courtyard. The young man looked confused at first. But he quickly regained his composure and began to explain, as he often visited this courtyard and was very familiar with its security.
After he finished explaining, Guan Yue realized that he only knew about the surface arrangements; he was not aware of the higher-level plans.
Thus, Guan Yue decided to enter himself. He instructed the young man to call over a security personnel responsible for patrolling, preferably someone of similar height to himself, a Disciple.
The young man did not hesitate and soon brought someone out. This person was Mu Wei, the head of security for this courtyard from the Mu Family.
Due to the young man's special status, Mu Wei felt puzzled when he was called out. He had already noticed the young man entering and exiting this small courtyard three times today, so he was curious about what the young man was doing. After all, he was a relative of the clan leader, and nothing could go wrong on his watch.
So he followed the young man outside. Upon seeing that there was a Disciple from the Mu Family standing outside the courtyard, he recognized him and scolded him sternly, "What are you doing here? Hurry up and leave."
Although Mu Wei was also at the peak of the Eternal Realm, his area of responsibility was different from that of the other person. In fact, Mu Wei received more attention from the higher-ups of the Mu Family. That is why Mu Wei dared to reprimand him.
