I am grinding experience in another world-Chapter 459 - 452 Chapter Running

In the Underground Secret Chamber.
Shen Yan noticed Chen Mu’s icy gaze and his mind raced.
The person before him was at most a spirit soldier of the Enlightened Heart Realm, yet it was unclear what Divine Skills he had awakened that could surpass a major realm and control him, a spirit of the Divine Fetus Realm.
As he was thinking, he saw Chen Mu’s right hand flip, and abruptly, a black flame the size of a human head, that looked irritable and fierce at a glance, appeared.
Nine Nether Green Flames?!
Does this son of a bitch really want to kill me?!
"Lan Zhang has sided with the Nether Demon Heaven, cultivating the Blood God Scripture, planning to devour all the Yin Spirits of the Hai Character Camp." He immediately disclosed the crisis of the camp, seeking to draw the attention of Chen Mu.
"Lan Zhang wants to devour all the Yin Spirits?!"
No wonder he has been sealing off the Hai Character Camp; he’s treating the camp like his granary!
Upon hearing this, Chen Mu, who was holding the green flame, paused involuntarily.
Scared, are you? Good to be scared!
There it is, my chance to survive!
Shen Yan hastily spoke up, "I have a way to overturn Lan Zhang and return to the Netherworld!"
Chen Mu’s eyebrows raised immediately.
Thinking of the other’s former status as a Military Supervisor, he was somewhat convinced and dispersed the Nine Nether Green Flames with a wave of his hand, fixing a serious gaze on Shen Yan.
Shen Yan breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed his life was spared.
He then began to persuasively outline his plan, "I have a way to harness the power of the River of Oblivion, which can be used to seize the Soul Summoning Banner, and then overturn Lan Zhang to save the Hai Character Camp."
"Once successful, not only can we save our own lives, but also acquire a vast amount of Military Merit."
"The city lord is always generous, and by that time, Secret Technique Precious Medicines will be yours for the choosing."

He kept a close eye on Chen Mu as he spoke, and seeing Chen Mu’s expression gradually soften, Shen Yan finally relaxed completely.
Done deal!
Not only do I not have to die, but I’ve also found a powerful ally!

"Listen to me, first seal the secret chamber, then use your Divine Power to control the auxiliary soldiers. As long as they connect with the River of Oblivion following my method, we will be able to kill Lan Zhang and turn defeat into victory!"
"A huge amount of Military Merit is right before your eyes, what are you hesitating for?"
Chen Mu couldn’t help but nod.
Shi Dechun by his side was also itching to act, "Shall we..."
"Let’s run!"
Chen Mu nodded fiercely.
"Run! We’ll flee tonight!"
Shen Yan: "..."
So, have I been talking for nothing this entire time?
I’m talking about overthrowing Lan Zhang and turning defeat into victory, not running away!
Shen Yan was so infuriated his face turned red.
...
Late at night.
At the edge of the camp underground, a small space had been hastily cleared, in which dense, blood-red vines that resembled a network of blood vessels blocked Chen Mu’s path.
"You better not try to force your way through," Shen Yan said indifferently. "These vines are connected to the Blood Cloud, and Lan Zhang will know instantly if someone touches them."
Chen Mu frowned.
Upon learning of Lan Zhang’s betrayal, his first thought was to immediately leave the Hai Character Camp, but he did not expect that even the underground was sealed off.
What about Flight?
"The entire camp’s shadow is covered by the power of a special Nether Demon Realm creature. If you dare fly into the sky, you’ll be discovered the moment you do," Shen Yan said with a slight gloating chuckle.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Shen Yan uncontrollably sprang up, assuming the splits in mid-air before smacking down onto the ground, completely stunned by the fall.
Laugh, laugh, what’s there to laugh about!
Chen Mu glanced at the bewildered Shen Yan, his expression growing even uglier.
So Lan Zhang really thinks of the Yin Spirits of the Hai Character Camp as his granary?
How has it come to pass that I’ve barely lived a few peaceful days, and now I’m trapped in this tremendous trouble?
Just my luck...
...
Chen Mu, underground, tried probing in several directions, but was thwarted by the blood-red vines every time.
He also employed the Truthful Listening Technique to survey the camp and within the darkness, he discovered an anomaly.
The darkness was supposed to be complete, but there was a rhythm of life, clearly something hiding within. It was similar to the ability to control shadows used by the original master of Thousand Lanterns City.
"This is troublesome!"
The three of them returned to the Secret Chamber once more.
Chen Mu’s face was dark.
Shi Dechun remained silently expressive.
Didn’t I tell you, the Hai Character Camp is nothing but a cage, have you lost hope now?
Shen Yan felt a schadenfreude joy internally, but his expression remained unchanged on the outside; he did not wish to do the splits again.
After a while, as the atmosphere remained silent, Shen Yan couldn’t help but whisper advice, "With Lan Zhang maintaining a firm grip on the Hai Character Camp, slipping away unnoticed has become highly improbable."
"Apart from the Blood God Scripture, the most crucial thing in setting up such a Heavenly Net is the Soul Summoning Banner."
"As long as we snatch the Soul Summoning Banner, we can significantly weaken his power, and escaping the Hai Character Camp would not be difficult."
"A direct confrontation with Lan Zhang?" Chen Mu felt averse to the idea.
```
He has always loved peace and detested fighting and killing.
Shen Yan’s spirits lifted, and he shook his head repeatedly, "No need, no need. As long as you dig a few secret chambers to hide the auxiliary troops I summon and we work together to connect with the Netherworld, the plan will succeed."
Shen Yan had figured it out; the two people before him were extremely timid. If the action was too dangerous, they definitely wouldn’t do it.
He had no choice but to control his tone and facial expressions, making the process sound as casual as possible and not mentioning overthrowing Lan Zhang, only talking about escaping from Hai Character Camp to avoid danger.
That way, he could get the two of them to take action, and as long as they started to act... heh heh...
Shen Yan struggled to suppress the thoughts surging in his mind, making his gaze neutral to prevent the two from seeing his cunning thoughts.
Seeing Chen Mu’s face still full of hesitation, he couldn’t help but curl his lip in his mind.
What a bloody coward!
If that’s the case, then I’ll just have to bolster your resolve!
He spoke up softly, "If I can discover the secret chamber, do you think Lan Zhang won’t?"
Finally, Chen Mu’s face changed drastically.
He turned to look at Shi Dechun, "What do you think?"
Shi Dechun was about to speak to persuade him but then stopped. After hesitating for a long while, he took a deep breath, suppressing the distractions in his mind, "It sounds good, but..."
"But I always feel that this Military Supervisor Shen’s tone changes too quickly, his mind too sharp, he doesn’t seem like an honest person!"
Chen Mu couldn’t help but let out a light laugh.
Shen Yan, however, remained indifferent, "Are you sure you can ensure that the secret chamber won’t be discovered by Lan Zhang?"
"The sooner we take action, the safer everyone will be."
Is that so?
Chen Mu’s smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
To really dig around the camp to gather auxiliary troops would surely increase the risk of exposure significantly.
Shen Yan’s method might allow himself to return to the Netherworld, but more likely, it would attract Lan Zhang’s investigation, and then conflict would be unavoidable.
This guy still wants to trick me into helping him overturn Lan Zhang!
Tsk...
If all I could do was dig secret chambers, then I really would have no choice but to do so.
What a pity... what a pity that I have the Thousand Lanterns City dimension!
With a mere thought, a pitch-black vortex suddenly appeared in front of his brow. The immense pulling force covered the secret chamber, and both Shi Dechun and Shen Yan were suddenly pulled into the vortex.
Chen Mu himself turned into a bunch of black light, swirling into collapse towards his brow, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Inside the courtyard of Thousand Lanterns City.
A flash of black light, and three figures appeared.
Chen Mu looked at Shen Yan who had stumbled unsteadily to the ground.
"If the secret chamber can be discovered, what about this place?"
"I can’t believe that across the void, that Lan Zhang could discover this place either."
Shen Yan’s face couldn’t help but change.
He had miscalculated!
...
Thousand Lanterns City, within the courtyard.
The three of them sat around a stone table.
Shi Dechun was extremely curious about Thousand Lanterns City, turning his head left and right to look around.
It took a good while before he retracted his gaze with surprise and after a moment’s hesitation, he spoke, "I think I should stay outside; we need to keep abreast of any changes in Hai Character Camp, right?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Mu couldn’t help but nod.
Hiding in Thousand Lanterns City was indeed safe, but if one couldn’t keep track of changes in Hai Character Camp, there was a risk of missing the correct timing for a response.
With a thought, a white-skinned lantern at the edge of the courtyard floated towards Shi Dechun.
"Take this Soul-Attracting Lamp; I have infused it with the divine power of Thousand Lanterns City."
"If you encounter urgent danger, use the Yin Spirit Divine Power to light it, and I will be able to pull you into Thousand Lanterns City through it."
Shi Dechun took it with a look of joy, then smiled obsequiously, "We have been through thick and thin all the way from the River of Oblivion; if something unexpected really happens outside, you mustn’t be careless or slow when you take action!"
Chen Mu smiled, "I will always allocate a portion of my spirit to watch over this Soul-Attracting Lamp, rest assured."
Shen Yan, who was also observing Thousand Lanterns City, came back to his senses and sighed with complex emotions, "I never thought that your divine power could connect to a dimension. I wonder what kind of Demon God your Yin Divine True Form might be. You really have a lucky fate."
"Yin Divine True Form? What’s that?"
Chen Mu was attracted by the content of Shen Yan’s words. After all, he had been in the Netherworld for too short a time and lacked understanding of the Netherworld’s cultivation paths.
"Yin Spirits are inherently endowed with the foundation of a divine power, bestowed by the Netherworld," Shen Yan didn’t hide anything and began to explain in detail.
"When the foundation merges and manifests from the core of a Yin Spirit, it becomes a Ghost Pattern Talisman Seed, also called Enlightened Heart Seeing the Divine."
"After that, it’s about tracing back to the root, nurturing the foundation into a Divine Fetus, and then step by step cultivation, until the Yin God is formed."
"The divine power foundation is mostly from celestial Demon Gods, and the Yin Gods formed are closely related to these celestial Demon Gods."
"The celestial Demon God that the foundation points to, is known as the Yin Divine True Form."
Chen Mu finally understood.
So, is my Yin Divine True Form the Celestial Demon Cloud Mirage?
"Not thinking of instigating me against Lan Zhang now?" Chen Mu shot a glance at Shen Yan.
"With this Thousand Lanterns City, you’re safe. I could say more, but you won’t act on it, so there’s no need to waste words," Shen Yan shrugged.
Chen Mu raised an eyebrow.
Shi Dechun was right.
This guy’s mind is indeed sharp, and his awareness is sufficiently clear.
To ensure peace of mind, it seems I have to control him with the Yama Emperor’s Command by my side.
