Xu Mu followed Elder Brother Zou towards the Liyang Sect, passing through several checkpoints and eventually stopping in front of a five-story pavilion.
Seeing Xu's slightly tense expression, Elder Brother Zou patted his shoulder and laughed, "Friend Xu, don't be so nervous!"
"It's my first time in such a place, so I'm understandably a bit apprehensive. My apologies if I've caused any amusement, Elder Brother Zou!" Xu Mu replied, somewhat cautiously.
"Rest assured! When you're illuminated by the Soul Stabilizing Mirror, as long as you don't resist, nothing will happen! Of course, it's pointless even if you resist. That mirror is a tier seven magic artifact, activated by three Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators simultaneously; even peers would struggle to resist it, let alone you!"
Xu Mu laughed, his tone filled with a hint of pride.
"Hehe!"
Xu Mu forced a stiff smile.
If he had known it would be like this, he would never have come.
