An Shicheng looked up and saw that the trunk of the pine tree was clearly different in color. The upper half of the bark was rough, but the lower half was very smooth, so it was obvious that there was something fishy about this tree. He then saw Mu Yanzhi instructing San Bao, "San Bao, stand guard at the door and don't run around."

It was obvious that San Bao was already used to this tree, so he was not too surprised. After he finished speaking, he turned his head and knocked on the tree bark, and the piece of tree bark began to move, revealing a door. An Shicheng had just noticed that there was something wrong with the pine tree, and was not very surprised to see the pine tree appear.

The entrance to the cave seemed to be right in front of them. It was obvious that the entrance to the cave was not deep, and as they walked forward, Zen Master Mu took out a fire piston from his bosom, and within a few steps, they saw a stone door in front of them. As Zen Master Mu opened the stone door, they saw a flight of stairs that led to the depths of the cave. As Zen Master Mu opened the door, Zen Master An Shi walked down this flight of stairs, causing the two of them to become more and more frightened.

At this time, An Shicheng could only hear the sound of water outside the mountain, and from not too far away, the sounds of military training could be heard. Mu Linger was walking with An Shicheng, and the farther they went, the louder the training sounds. Although An Shicheng was old, the martial artists, especially those like An Shicheng, had reached a certain level of cultivation.

It turned out that this Spirit Origin Mountain was actually hiding powerful soldiers, and at that moment, An Shicheng wanted to slowly recover the true essence that he had lost in the battle with Mu Yanzhi just now to guard against the unexpected, but what he feared the most was that Mu Yanzhi thought that he had seen through the identity of this old monk, and that it would be difficult for him to fight against him alone, so he tricked him into coming to this underground, and with the help of his army, he ended up dead.

After An Shicheng descended the stairs for a while, he finally saw a stone door in front of him. Zen Master Mu spoke as he knocked on the stone door, and before long, the middle-aged general in armor, who was in his thirties or forties, opened it from the inside. The general saw An Shiheng standing behind Zen Master Mu, and his eyes revealed a trace of killing intent as he said, "Grand Commandant, who is this person?"

Mu Yanzhou said, "General Yu, there is no need to panic. This person is the owner of the Thousand Plum Mountain Villa, An Shizhe. Old Manor Lord …."

The general with the surname Yu said, "I originally didn't know anything about Villa Owner An, but does the Grand Commandant not know that this place is not free for outsiders to come?"

Mu Yan said, "It's alright. Old Manor Lord An has done great things for us. He will be of great help. Let him in!"

The general surnamed Yu did not reply and just looked at An Shicheng and let the two enter. An Shicheng came in and saw that the space inside was so large that it could not be described as large. Moreover, the distance above his head was only about the height of a person.

At this moment, An Shicheng looked forward and saw at least a thousand elite soldiers standing on both sides. None of them were wearing armor and holding weapons, so when they saw Mu Laizhan, they immediately greeted, "Greetings, Grand Commandant!"

At this time, there was a person coming down the stairs. This person was in his fifties with a big beard and two knife scars on his face. He was also wearing armor and had a treasure sword hanging around his waist.

When Mu Qing saw this person, he smiled and said, "Old General Yu!"

Just like the old general from before, the old general surnamed Yu said to An Shicheng, "How can the Grand Commandant bring in outsiders?"

"Old Manor Lord, this person is called Yu Xian, the general from a moment ago was called Yu Hu. Both of them are the country's pillars." With that, he turned his head and said to Cheng'an, "Old Manor Lord Yu is the master of the Wanmei Village, Old Manor Lord An will have a huge helper for us, so I am taking the old Manor Lord to see His Majesty now."

When An Shicheng heard "meeting His Majesty in person", he thought to himself, "This Your Majesty can't possibly be Ming Hongwu, he must be the descendant of Chen Youcai!"

He heard Yu Xian say, "No, this person's background is unknown. He was supposed to be entrusted with an important task, so we can't let him meet His Majesty in person."

Mu Yanzhou said, "Old General Yu, Old Manor Lord An has no ill intentions in coming here. If we can unite with the Thousand Plum Villa, then things will definitely be of great help in the future. Old General, please allow me to meet His Majesty."

Yu Xian sneered and said, "What kind of thing is Wan Mei Manor? Is he even qualified to cooperate with us?"

An Shicheng has not spoken since the start. One reason was because he did not know why Mu Shui brought him down here, and two reason was because Mu Qing said it was not good for him to fight over the guest. However, after hearing Yu Xian speak, he coldly said, "Oh? Wanmei Manor is indeed unworthy to cooperate with your esteemed army. Old Grand Commandant, this old man will take his leave. "With that, he turned and left.

Without waiting for Zen Master Mu to speak, he said, "You still want to leave after seeing so many things that you shouldn't have seen?" After saying that, his right hand clenched the hilt of his sword and was about to pull out his sword.

Just as his right hand was about to pull out the sword, An Shicheng appeared before him in shock. Furthermore, the sword he was about to pull out was actually held down by a powerful force, causing Yu Xian to look down and see An Shicheng using a finger to hold down his sword. Yu Xian couldn't help but feel a sense of shock in his heart.

An Shicheng sneered and said, "As long as you can pull the sword out, this old man will surrender and be at your mercy!"

Yu Xian was furious, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull the sword out. As a powerful general, he had at least several hundred pounds of strength between his arms, yet he was still unable to block Yu Xian's attack despite being suppressed so easily by An Shiyi.

Zen Master Mu Qing quickly went over to persuade the two away and immediately brought An Shicheng past Yu Xian. On the way, An Zeng asked: "Grand Commandant, you are talking about His Majesty?"

Zen Master Mu said, "Old Manor Lord need not worry! Old Manor Lord will be able to see Your Majesty in a moment!"
