Lying on the ground beside Fu Mo and pelting the nearby Zombies with Jade Tiles, Qingque immediately spotted Fu Xuan emerging from the other side.
She swore that this was the first time since becoming a diviner that she had ever looked forward to Fu Xuan’s sudden appearance so much.
“Master Diviner!”
Qingque waved excitedly at Fu Xuan.
She wanted to crawl out and run over to her, but after looking at the Zombies surrounding them on all sides, she silently shrank back again.
Hearing that familiar voice, Fu Xuan’s tension instantly vanished, though the corner of her eye still twitched uncontrollably.
She sighed helplessly and was about to lend a hand when a burst of Sword Qi suddenly tore through the Zombies, giving the surrounding bushes a free trimming as well.
The monsters surrounding Fu Mo and Qingque let out a roar before vanishing like wisps of smoke, leaving behind only a few unfamiliar objects on the ground.

With the monsters gone, Fu Mo and Qingque immediately crawled out from beneath the half-block.
Fu Mo casually swept all the dropped items into his Inventory, then stared at the Stone Sword in his hand in surprise.
While fighting the monsters, he had noticed that the Stone Sword in reality didn’t seem to have inherited Sweeping Edge’s cooldown.
He had tested it, and it had actually worked!
As long as he swung fast enough, he could unleash an endless barrage of Sword Qi!
Fu Mo found this puzzling.
Was it a bug?
A feature?
Or had his Steve physique combined every version of Minecraft?
As Fu Mo recalled, sword-type weapons in the VR version of Minecraft had no attack speed limit.
Their speed depended entirely on how quickly the player could swing the controller.
From the looks of it, only the VR version of Minecraft matched what had just happened.
When he had time, he would have to investigate which version of Steve’s physique he had inherited—or whether it was a combination of every version.
Fu Mo collected his thoughts and took out the Torches he had prepared from his Inventory.
Casually planting them in the ground, he followed Qingque over to Fu Xuan.
The moment Qingque reached Fu Xuan, she cheerfully spread her hands and pointed at Fu Mo.
“Master Diviner, allow me to introduce you.
This young man is…”
Qingque suddenly trailed off.
It seemed that neither she nor Fu Mo had ever introduced themselves.
She turned toward him awkwardly, and Fu Mo took the initiative to speak.
“Fu Mo, an outsider.”
Once Fu Mo finished introducing himself, Qingque’s face lit up again, and she enthusiastically introduced herself as well.
“My name is Qingque, and I’m a humble diviner of the Divination Commission.
Thank you for saving my life earlier, Fu Mo.
And this is the head of our Divination Commission—Master Diviner Fu Xuan!”
When Fu Xuan heard that Fu Mo had saved Qingque’s life, some of the wariness on her face faded.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr.
Fu Mo.
However, this isn’t a good place to talk.
Please follow me.
We should leave first.”
With that, Fu Xuan turned and headed back the way she had come.
Fu Mo and Qingque hurried after her.
Fu Xuan led them back to the rendezvous point.
The Cloud Knights remained safe inside the barrier she had erected before leaving.
However, the infected Cloud Knight had now completely succumbed to the Mara-Struck state.
Despite being restrained, he continued snarling and clawing as he tried to attack his former comrades.
“Master Diviner Fu Xuan!”
The Cloud Knights let out sighs of relief when they saw Fu Xuan return.
They had truly feared that she might also be ambushed by those monsters and become Mara-Struck.
Seeing her return safely put them all at ease.
Fu Xuan nodded to them and immediately issued an order.
“Withdraw at once.
Bring the wounded.”
“Yes.”
Several Cloud Knights immediately stepped forward and firmly restrained the infected Cloud Knight, dragging him toward the exit.
Fu Xuan dispelled the barrier, then called for Fu Mo and Qingque to evacuate with them.
The group arrived at the entrance to the Realm-Weaving, which had already been completely sealed off by the Cloud Knights who had come as reinforcements.
Upon seeing the group emerge, they immediately cleared a path for them.
Fu Xuan was the last to leave the Realm-Weaving.
As she reached the exit, one of the Cloud Knights who had come as reinforcement immediately stepped forward to report.
“Master Diviner Fu Xuan, the Dragon Lady and the General are already waiting outside.”
“I understand.
Make sure none of the monsters inside escape!”
“Yes.”
The moment Fu Xuan emerged from the Realm-Weaving, she saw the Dragon Lady Bailu standing atop a small stool as she examined the infected Cloud Knight from head to toe.
Jing Yuan stood silently to one side with a frown, while Fu Mo and Qingque watched nearby.
Fu Mo stared fixedly at Bailu.
Setting aside the fact that this girl, who didn’t even reach his stomach, was apparently a doctor, the dragon horns on her head and the dragon tail behind her left him utterly baffled.
Just what kind of otherworld was this?
It even had dragon girls!
Moreover, when he came out earlier, he had seen some of the Cloud Knights holding objects that resembled cell phones.
“And who might this gentleman be?”
Hearing a voice beside him, Fu Mo collected his thoughts and turned around.
The white-haired man who hadn’t spoken to him until now was studying him curiously.
Fu Xuan stood quietly beside Jing Yuan and respectfully introduced Fu Mo.
“General, this is Fu Mo.
He claims to be an outsider and saved Qingque’s life inside that Realm-Weaving.”
Qingque nodded repeatedly from the side.
“That’s right, General.
If it weren’t for him, my parents probably would’ve received my death benefits tomorrow morning.”
Fu Xuan glared at Qingque in exasperation.
How could she still be in the mood to joke around at a time like this?
She clearly hadn’t been given enough work lately.
Otherwise, she would surely know better than to shoot her mouth off in front of her superiors on such a serious occasion!
Jing Yuan merely smiled and raised a hand to block Fu Xuan’s glare.
He then cupped his fists and sincerely thanked Fu Mo.
“Mr.
Fu Mo, thank you very much for saving a diviner of my Divination Commission.”
“You’re welcome.
It was no trouble.”
“My thanks are still due.
However, I have a question.
Would Mr.
Fu Mo be willing to answer it?”
“What question?”
The smile on Jing Yuan’s face faded slightly.
Though no longer as warm as before, it remained gentle.
“Mr.
Fu Mo, why did you appear inside an abandoned Realm-Weaving of the Luofu?”
After asking this, Jing Yuan placed both hands behind his back and discreetly made a gesture to Fu Xuan, who stood slightly behind him.
Fu Xuan understood at once.
Her eyes narrowed, and the Third Eye between her brows began to glow faintly.
An almost imperceptible formation arose within Fu Mo’s blind spot, but the instant it appeared, Fu Mo noticed a Buff he had never seen before appear on his Buff bar.
