Chapter 233: Chapter 186 Convergence_4 Chapter 233: Chapter 186 Convergence_4 Xue Huaiyi’s expression stiffened, and his gaze swiftly scanned the surroundings.

He soon noticed that by the bank of a nearby water marsh, stood a figure in a Taoist robe who had appeared at some unknown time—it was Meng Danyun of the Seven Profound Sect.

All disciples of the four sects were present, which meant that the Hidden Pavilion’s disciple might also be nearby.

The mere thought that a disciple of the Blood Hidden Pavilion could be lurking in the shadows nearby was enough to send a chill down anyone’s spine.

However, it seemed unlikely that the disciple of the Blood Hidden Pavilion was interested in attacking them just yet.

With all the sects’ disciples gathered, could the recent tremor have been unusual?

At that moment,

As the disciples of the various sects appeared, whether it was the numerous disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion or the forces of the Xue Family and Xie Family, all of them quietly subdued their voices and silently ceased their searching for treasures in the marsh.

Some who were closer even quietly retreated further away.

At this very moment, there suddenly was a disturbance over the distant river surface, where another vague figure stood on the river, moving downstream towards them in the drizzling rain.

The gazes of many by the water marsh converged on this figure.

Who was this time?

Just as everyone’s gaze shifted, the figure approaching from the river gradually became clearer.

The person stood on a piece of driftwood, not wearing the usual disciples’ attire of any sect, but instead an official uniform of the Inspectorate.

“Is it him?”

Xue Lin hesitated slightly.

Although he had encountered this man only a few times, he could never forget his appearance.

During those few brushes past one another, he had never truly bothered about him, yet unknowingly, this man had steadily surpassed him and had become the most talented individual of the younger generation in Yu County—the Metropolitan Commander, Chen Mu!

However, it was somewhat too ostentatious and overtly confident for someone to drift down the river in such an attention-grabbing manner, especially with so many elite disciples of various sects gathered.

At the scene,

Instantly not only Xue Lin but also Gu Hong and Hua Nongying, along with other elite disciples, directed their gaze towards Chen Mu.

Han Guang narrowed his eyes slightly.

The corner of Hua Nongying’s mouth curled into a faint, barely perceptible smile.

Gu Hong merely gave a brief glance and restrained his gaze, choosing not to look further.

Splash!

Chen Mu, stepping on driftwood, finally reached the end of the river channel, then with a leap, landed in the marsh.

He did not look towards Han Guang and the others but walked a few steps to the nearby gathering of the Inspectorate and Demon-Slaying Office, and said in a solemn voice, “The Earth’s Veins here are about to shift; have the villagers in the nearby areas evacuate immediately.”

The gathering of all the sects’ elite disciples didn’t surprise him, as he had sensed the unusual activity of the Earth’s Veins along the river himself, vaguely converging towards this area, indicating a significant impending change.

“Yes.”

Upon hearing Chen Mu’s command, some personnel from the Inspectorate and Demon-Slaying Office were shocked, but they immediately understood why all the elite disciples were congregated here and quickly moved to action, heading further away.

It was only then that Chen Mu finally had the chance to observe the situation around him.

He saw Hua Nongying, Gu Hong, and others no longer standing in the center of the marsh but gradually retreating to the perimeter.

Meng Danyun, who had been on the outer edge from the start, noticing his gaze, nodded at him from a distance.

She was not surprised by Chen Mu’s arrival here; after all, he was in charge of the Qingping River area.

However, his ability to detect the anomaly of the Earth’s Veins and rush here revealed a highly keen perception, a worthy result of her previous meticulous guidance.

He had undoubtedly made significant progress over these days.
