My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 703 Civil strife
Several days later, in an underground cave.

Chen Mu moved his fingers, silently activating the Nine Cups Calculation Scripture.

At that moment, a scene of misty fog appeared in his mind, as if he were floating in a thick fog where he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face.

As the calculations proceeded, a star appeared in the fog, and then it continued to grow larger.

brush!
A verdant valley shrouded in white mist suddenly appeared.

"It's done." Chen Mu slowly opened his eyes.

Over the past five or six days, Zhou Tong and others have been busy building the Five Cloud Shuttle, and Chen Mu has also been busy.

He reversed his innate Qi to reshape the jade seed, controlled the ghostly monsters to practice building the Ghost Gate, and also practiced the Nine Cups Calculation Scripture.

The first two tasks went well, but the calculations didn't yield much progress. Out of ten calculations, only five correctly located the Five Cloud Shuttle.

"The risk of getting five out of ten is indeed a bit high, but the arithmetic manual is only at the third level and a halfway point, so it's understandable." Chen Mu felt quite relieved.

"According to Zhou Tong and the others, it will probably take a lot of time for the Five Cloud Shuttle to successfully cross the void, which will be enough time for me to practice the Nine Cups Calculation Scripture to a higher level." He silently calculated.

After planning his cultivation journey, he used the Zhu Yu Magic Sword to employ his Listening Divine Power to explore the area surrounding Fire Path City.

A group of three-meter-tall, pale-faced people with an extra eye between their eyebrows were stationed in various parts of the city, showing no intention of expanding their territory.

"It's good not to expand territory."

"This gives Zhou Tong and his men ample time to escape."

With a cheerful laugh, the Divine Listening ability on the Zhu Yu Magic Sword in the valley activated. A pure white, smooth shuttle, resembling a giant goose egg, appeared in his mind.

After carefully examining the internal structure, Chen Mu couldn't help but smile.

"In two more days at most, this shuttle should be completely finished."

"At that time, the Zhu Yu Magic Sword can take advantage of the wind and leave Fire Path Star."

"I can only use the Gate of Hell technique to escape danger."

I'm so happy.

The next moment.

Click!

A crisp cracking sound suddenly rang out, and lightning-like twisted cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the Five Cloud Shuttle.

boom!
The top suddenly exploded, and Zhou Tong and Fei Zhao rode their escape lights, colliding fiercely while shooting into the sky like lightning.

The nearly completed Five Cloud Shuttle was torn in two by the aftershocks of their battle.

Chen Mu's smile froze instantly, as if he had been petrified.

No, everything was fine yesterday.
How come you've started having internal strife in the blink of an eye?
Fine, make a fuss if you want, but why did you have to damage my Five Cloud Shuttle?
At this moment, Chen Mu wished he could run to the valley and kill those two bastards!
……

"Junior brother, are you crazy!" Zhou Tong glared at Fei Zhao and shouted angrily.

Just as the Five Cloud Shuttle was about to be completed, and they would soon be able to leave Fire Path Star, this junior brother, who had always been close to him, unexpectedly launched a sneak attack.

If I hadn't been so careful, it might have been me, not the Five Cloud Shuttle, that had broken in two!

"I think you're the one who's gone mad!" Fei Zhao shouted angrily.

"The internal compartments of the Five Cloud Shuttle are isolated from each other, and the Taoist soldiers inside cannot communicate with each other."

"Once any team of Dao soldiers is unable to provide the demon-sealing power, you will be quietly stripped away and abandoned."

"Am I one of those who can be discarded?" His face was grim.

"What nonsense are you talking about! I already handed over one-third of the control of the Five Cloud Shuttle to you! How could I possibly..." Zhou Tong shouted in disbelief.

"You actually admitted it?! I'm your own junior brother, whom you consider like a brother!" Fei Zhao interrupted, his face filled with grief and indignation.

Zhou Tong: "..."

When the hell did I admit it?!
Are you stuffing donkey hair in your ears?!

Are you even listening to me?!
"Give me your life!" Fei Zhao, his eyes bloodshot, charged fiercely at Zhou Tong.

Damn it!

Zhou Tong was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.

"Junior sister, this kid has been affected by the Netherworld Blood Light and has gone mad! Come and help me subdue him!" Zhou Tong shouted to Li Jiu, who was not far away.

"I never imagined that the two of you had this kind of relationship?!" Li Jiu's face flushed red, filled with shame and indignation.

"How dare you flirt so openly in public! You are elders of the Thousand Machines Sect!"

"You bunch of bastards, go ahead and make your own trouble!" With that, Li Jiu rode his escape light and flew angrily towards the horizon. Zhou Tong: "..."

No way, did you stuff donkey hair into your ears too?
What did you hear?
I knew this Netherworld Demon Bloodlight was no good.

Damn it!

Zhou Tong was so angry he almost exploded!
……

"We're doomed."

Inside the underground cave, Chen Mu looked at the valley destroyed by the aftermath of Zhou Tong and Fei Zhao's battle, and the numerous dead and wounded Dao soldiers forced to scatter and flee. His eyelids twitched involuntarily.

He never expected that just as the Five Cloud Shuttle was about to be completed, the three core elders would start fighting amongst themselves.

"No wonder the Netherworld Demons and Heavenly Demons didn't launch a fierce attack to annihilate these Dao soldiers."

"With the influence of this Netherworld Blood Light, there's no need for a chase or encirclement; the survivors will just panic." Chen Mu couldn't help but grit his teeth.

He was deep underground and had experience in the Netherworld, so the blood-red light in the sky had very little effect on him.

But the Fire City soldiers, exposed to the blood-red light without any protection, were in a different situation.

The three Dao Foundation Elders were thrown into turmoil as a result, and who knows what kind of chaos the surviving Dao Soldiers might cause.

It's practically impossible to expect them to reunite and rebuild the Five Cloud Shuttle.

"The plan to smuggle the Zhu Yu magic sword is now a complete failure."

Chen Mu's face fell.

……

The next day.

Chen Mu, who was practicing his innate Qi in reverse within the Thousand Lanterns City, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

It was as if I had been stung by a spark from a lighter in a past life, and I was jolted awake and quickly opened my eyes.

"Contracts and imperial edicts?"

Chen Mu immediately activated his Listening Divine Power to investigate the mountain peak where Zhou Tong was located.

Sure enough, Zhou Tong was seen holding up a bronze token, using the written decree to summon the Taoist soldiers.

"Using contracts and edicts as constraints, forcibly controlling the construction of the Five Cloud Shuttle by the Daoist soldiers?" Chen Mu's eyes lit up.

The backlash from the contract comes from the Pure Yang Dao Ancestor. Using this to counteract the influence of the Netherworld Demon Blood Light might actually work!

Just as they were enjoying themselves, they heard Zhou Tong, who was standing on the mountaintop, shout out.

"Fei Zhaoli betrayed the Thousand Machines Sect. With them causing trouble, none of us can escape Fire Path Star."

"As the saying goes, to repel foreign aggression, one must first pacify the internal situation. All soldiers, listen to my command and join me in suppressing this rebellious rebellion."

"All the spoils of war will be distributed among you."

"Come at me!"

Chen Mu: “…”

What kind of time is this to be besieging and suppressing disobedient people?

What's going on? !
This guy's mind was probably also affected by the demonic blood light.

I shouldn't have had any expectations of these guys.

Chen Mu helplessly touched his head, which was a little numb from the lightning spell of the contract, and sighed, "Luckily I have the Nine Lives Tribulation Technique, otherwise I would have been causing trouble with these guys too."

While relieved, he couldn't help but feel worried.

"To use the Ghost Gate to teleport, you need a precise landing point."

"Now that the plan to teleport using the Zhu Yu Sword has failed, we can only try using the Heavenly Demon Body."

He had previously considered using the Heavenly Demon's body as the landing point for the Ghost Gate Shrinking Earth Teleportation Technique.

However, Huodao Star and Yunzhou are separated by thirty-two days, a distance of hundreds of millions. Even if their energies are connected, it is extremely difficult to calculate the landing point.

Moreover, Yunzhou's vital energy is depleted, making it unsuitable for cultivating Qi and immortality. Furthermore, the Underworld is plotting against him in secret, so he really doesn't want to go to Yunzhou.

But we can't count on Zhou Tong and the others right now, so this is the only way we can do it.

"At worst, I'll just run away as soon as I land. Now that my Dao Foundation is almost complete, I'll definitely be able to run faster and more easily than before."

"When the time comes, we'll build another dragon-shaped fireway to cross the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and we'll be able to escape that quagmire of Yunzhou."
