"There are plenty of people who want to be my follower, but I don't need any right now!"
Mu Yuan's voice was still cold.
Liu Wan'er couldn't help but understand what he meant.
He didn't need a follower, which meant she was going to die.
"Kid, stop right now!"
"Our young miss is the little princess of the Liu Clan, a Mercenary Realm family. If you dare to lay a hand on her, you should think carefully about the consequences?"
Zhao Hu quickly revealed Liu Wan'er's identity.
If Liu Wan'er were to meet with an accident, the Liu Clan's fury would cause rivers of blood to flow throughout the Mercenary Realm.
"Mercenary Realm?"
Mu Yuan raised an eyebrow.
Previously, he had already guessed that Liu Wan'er wasn't from the Northspirit Realm. He hadn't expected her to be from the Mercenary Realm.
The Hundredspirit Heavens was a vast land beyond the Northspirit Realm. Within the Hundredspirit Heavens, there were over a dozen realms of varying sizes, and the Northspirit Realm was merely one of the weaker ones.
In contrast, the Mercenary Realm was ranked among the more powerful realms.
The Mercenary Guild headquarters was located in the Mercenary Realm. While the Northspirit Realm was controlled by nine domain lords, the Mercenary Realm was governed by several major mercenary families within the Mercenary Guild.
It brought together almost all of the mercenary groups in the Hundredspirit Heavens, and was also home to strong experts from the Three Heavens Realm.
The Three Heavens Realm. Those at this level of strength could be considered true first-rate experts even within the Hundredspirit Heavens!
The Liu Clan was one of the major families within the Mercenary Guild.
"You think I'm an idiot? Your young miss dies in the Northspirit Realm, and who would know I did it?"
Mu Yuan's expression was very calm.
He wasn't one to be easily intimidated.
Having read nine hundred and ninety-nine novels, such petty tricks were child's play to him.
Threaten him?
Had he ever been afraid?
Liu Wan'er's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she quickly said, "I can tell you a huge piece of news! It's about the secret of why the Whitespirit Ape King appeared outside the Northspirit Realm!"
A mid-level spirit beast indeed wouldn't appear outside the Northspirit Realm for no reason.
Mu Yuan's heart leaped slightly, but he gently shook his head. "Your life is in my hands. Don't try to play any tricks on me."
Liu Wan'er immediately said, "I can be your follower! And I'll give you a chance to participate in the competition for the Earthspirit Fruit."
The Earthspirit Fruit, a treasure even more precious than the Jade Spirit Fruit, was filled with gentle spiritual energy and was extremely beneficial to cultivators below the Spirit Core Realm.
If he wasn't mistaken, Mu Chen should be working with the Blazing Thunder Squad to compete for the Jade Spirit Fruit right now.
At this moment.
The atmosphere was stagnant.
Liu Wan'er's eyes contracted intensely, and her heart was clenching.
She didn't even dare to look at Mu Yuan!
She had always been arrogant, but at this moment, she felt that Mu Yuan was an unattainable, towering mountain!
To condense the fourth, and even the fifth, Dragon-Elephant Phantom, his spiritual power wouldn't be enough. He would have to rely on external help.
The Earthspirit Fruit could solve his immediate problem.
While Mu Yuan was thinking, Liu Wan'er felt he wasn't paying attention to her at all, which made her even more worried. She thought he was treating her coldly.
"The valley where the Earthspirit Tree grows has a restriction on it. Even if you go there, you won't be able to get close. Only by carrying the Earthspirit Token can you enter through that restriction."
Liu Wan'er's voice trembled slightly, filled with anxiety and concern.
At that moment, the black-sheathed longsword in Mu Yuan's hand suddenly slashed down.
Clang!
Liu Wan'er wanted to dodge, but she didn't have any chance.
Then, the sword slashed down directly from her head.
At that moment, Liu Wan'er even felt a sense of death.
Subsequently, Liu Wan'er's veil was directly split in two and fell to the ground.
Liu Wan'er's appearance was now exposed to Mu Yuan.
She was indeed quite beautiful, only slightly inferior to Tang Qian'er.
"You can't wear a veil if you're going to be my follower."
Mu Yuan's words almost made Liu Wan'er cough up blood.
She might not be as strong as Mu Yuan, but she was confident in her looks.
Who would have thought that Mu Yuan would barely even react after seeing her?
It really crushed her confidence!
This guy is poison!
However, Liu Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief.
Because the killing intent that had enveloped her just now had disappeared.
This also meant that Mu Yuan had let her go.
Then, Liu Wan'er introduced the matter of the Earthspirit Fruit.
It was really a bit ironic.
In the Northspirit Realm, there was an Earthspirit Valley, but it was surprisingly discovered by the strong from the Eastspirit Realm and Westspirit Realm.
After the strong from the Eastspirit Realm and Westspirit Realm discussed it, they avoided starting a war, and also avoided attracting the attention of the strong from the Northspirit Realm, which would attract more competitors.
The strong from the Three Heavens Realm of the Eastspirit Realm and Westspirit Realm joined forces to set up a prohibition around the Earthspirit Valley that even Spirit Core Realm experts couldn't break. Then, they left the competition to the younger generation.
The key to entering Earthspirit Valley was the Earthspirit Token.
At the same time, they strictly forbade any interference, with punishment for any who dared to meddle!
No interference from the older generation was absolutely fantastic!
"Aren't you in the Mercenary Realm?"
Mu Yuan was a little curious.
Seeing Mu Yuan's puzzled expression, Liu Wan'er finally smiled.
"The strength of us in the Mercenary Realm isn't inferior to the Eastspirit Realm and Westspirit Realm. Moreover, we can mobilize all the mercenaries in Hundredspirit Heavens. If we want a share, the Eastspirit Realm and Westspirit Realm still have to agree."
Liu Wan'er was clearly very proud and boastful of the Mercenary Realm she belonged to.
Mu Yuan wasn't very interested in the Mercenary Realm right now; he was most interested in the Earthspirit Fruit.
"When can we pick the Earthspirit Fruit?"
Mu Yuan asked.
Liu Wan'er's originally happy face immediately pouted again.
"The Earthspirit Fruit won't be ripe until tomorrow."
If I hadn't snuck out, I wouldn't have met this guy.
"However, picking them will definitely involve a battle, and then we'll distribute the Earthspirit Fruit!"
"A single Earthspirit Tree only bears ten Earthspirit Fruits. If we can get even one, that'll be enough. If we work together, we should be able to secure at least one. Can you give me half?"
Liu Wan'er's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Mu Yuan nodded.
"Of course. Give me the Earthspirit Token."
Without Liu Wan'er, he wouldn't have been able to compete for the Earthspirit Fruits.
A few days before the opening of Earthspirit Valley, older, more powerful cultivators would come to clear the area.
This "clearing" was just getting rid of the spirit beasts in the vicinity of Earthspirit Valley.
The Whitespirit Ape King was one of the stragglers from that time.
Moreover, there were elders among the older generation, so the others couldn't get close, let alone compete for the Earthspirit Fruits.
The Earthspirit Token was a bronze-colored token. Placing the Earthspirit Token in his pocket, Mu Yuan said:
"We'll meet here tomorrow."
With that, he turned to leave.
He wasn't worried that Liu Wan'er would stand him up.
Because, she couldn't seize the Earthspirit Fruits on her own.
"Hey, you haven't told me your name yet?"
"Mu Yuan!"
...
Until Mu Yuan's figure disappeared from Liu Wan'er's sight, Zhao Hu cautiously asked:
"Miss, are you really going to wait for him here tomorrow?"
"What else can I do? Rely on you? It's said that those competing for the Earthspirit Fruit this time are all the top five geniuses from the Eastspirit Realm and the Westspirit Realm."
Liu Wan'er rolled her eyes, then said helplessly:
"Without the Earthspirit Fruit, I won't be able to break through to the mid-Spirit Wheel Realm. What will happen to Father?"
"Besides, the Earthspirit Token has already been given to him. Without the Earthspirit Token, you can't get in at all. He saw this and was confident enough to leave."
It could be said that Mu Yuan had her completely under his thumb.
