Whoosh!
Mu Yuan's thumb pushed against the sword guard, ready on the hilt.
A flash of sword light.
Another spirit beast fell into a pool of blood.
The surrounding spirit beasts, startled like birds by a gunshot, scattered and fled in all directions.
This human was too terrifying!
One sword for each!
Humans have always been prey to them. When did humans start harvesting their own kind like it was just a crop?
The originally bustling forest had fallen silent, not even a chirp from insects or a call from birds could be heard.
"Forget it, it's getting dark. Time to head back!"
Mu Yuan looked up at the sky, then hurried towards the camp.
Nearing the camp, he met Mu Chen, Tang Qian'er, and Mo Ling.
They were all immersed in a certain excitement.
"Brother Yuan, you won't believe what happened today..."
A student began to describe the events with great animation.
The intense battle in the valley today was thrilling, and the excitement that followed left them all incredibly exhilarated.
Mu Yuan, however, wore a calm expression, seemingly unfazed by the perilous events they had just faced.
"Mu Yuan, how many spirit beast cores did you get today? Don't let yourself lose too badly later on."
Tang Qian'er, noticing the bloodstains on Mu Yuan, asked with curiosity.
It seemed this guy had been through several bloody battles today.
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."
Mu Yuan smiled faintly. Suddenly, he saw Mu Chen furrow his brow.
Following Mu Chen's gaze, Mu Yuan saw a dozen figures emerge from the forest ahead.
Those youths, led by Liu Yang, were clearly students from the West Academy.
"Yuan-ge, it's Liu Yang and Chen Tong. They're coming for you," Mu Chen said quickly.
Chen Tong?
The guy ranked third on the Northern Spiritual Academy's Heavenly Ranking?
As Mu Yuan was deep in thought, Chen Tong and the others had already approached with unfriendly expressions, blocking Mu Yuan and the others.
"Chen Tong, what do you want?" Mo Ling frowned at the sight.
"Heh, nothing much. Just thought I'd have a little chat with him. Mo Ling, this doesn't concern you, so I suggest you stay out of it. You wouldn't want to offend Brother Liu, would you? You wouldn't feel good about that."
Chen Tong chuckled.
The "Brother Liu" Chen Tong referred to was naturally Liu Mubai.
Mo Ling's expression shifted slightly upon hearing this, clearly showing a considerable amount of wariness towards Liu Mubai.
"Boring."
Forget Chen Tong; even Liu Mubai, with Mu Yuan's current strength, wasn't worth his attention.
He really didn't want to bother with petty characters like this.
"What did you say?"
Mu Yuan's near-dismissive attitude immediately infuriated Chen Tong.
"You're too arrogant, kid!"
As the shout fell, a ruthless look flashed across Chen Tong's face. He reached out a hand, directly grabbing for Mu Yuan's collar.
Whoosh!
However, the instant he made his move, a chilling glint flashed in Mu Yuan's eyes. The longsword, stained with the blood of a spiritual beast, had already been drawn. The cold tip of the blade rested against Chen Tong's throat.
The icy sensation on his throat caused Chen Tong's pupils to shrink violently. He trembled, gritting his teeth, and asked, "What do you want?"
"I'll say this once, don't provoke me!"
Murderous intent filled Mu Yuan's eyes.
Even Liu Yang and the other youths were intimidated by the terrifying killing intent, and for a moment, they didn't dare to speak.
"What are you doing?"
Suddenly, Teacher Mo appeared, breaking the tense standoff.
"Teacher Mo!"
Mo Ling and the others hurriedly saluted upon seeing him.
Mu Yuan also retracted his longsword.
"Teacher Mo, you must make the decision for me!"
Chen Tong glared at Mu Yuan, his face flushed.
"Did you really think I saw nothing?"
Teacher Mo glanced at Chen Tong with a faint smile.
Chen Tong paused, awkwardly touching his nose. Then, he glared at Mu Yuan with a hateful expression and quickly led his people away, looking dejected.
Mu Yuan and the others continued walking towards the camp.
Where did this kid get so much killing intent after going out for a while? How many spirit beasts has he killed?
Teacher Mo was quite shocked as he watched Mu Yuan's retreating figure.
With his insight, he could naturally tell that the blood on Mu Yuan's body was from spirit beasts.
The Mu brothers are more and more monstrous.
Mu Chen's solo act of luring away the Fire Spirit Ape King, a clever tactic of using one beast to get rid of another, had already earned him respect.
Mu Yuan was even more impressive. With only a mid-Spiritual Movement Stage cultivation, he was out in the Northern Spiritual Plains, training alone, and had even slain a number of spirit beasts.
The group returned to the camp after passing through the forest.
Suddenly, dozens of figures descended upon them from the western camp.
These figures were enveloped in a chilling aura, clearly not ordinary individuals.
"People from the Liu Domain? What are they doing here?"
Seeing the emblems on their chests, Teacher Mo frowned slightly and walked towards the group.
"Brother Yuan!"
Mu Chen looked at Mu Yuan, wondering what the people from the Liu Domain were doing in the Northern Spiritual Plains.
"Let's go take a look too."
Mu Yuan smiled.
He didn't remember the exact details of the original story, but he was very clear on the key plot points.
For example, it was in the Northern Spiritual Plains that Mu Chen obtained clues about the Nine Netherbird.
Little Mu, your opportunity is coming.
Mu Yuan thought to himself, watching Mu Chen.
"What's with Yuan-ge's smile?"
Mu Chen scratched his head.
The middle-aged man saw Teacher Mo and clasped his hands together with a smile.
"You must be Teacher Mo from the Northern Spiritual Academy? I am Liu Ming from the Liu Domain. I've come uninvited, and I apologize for any inconvenience."
"Oh, so it's the Third Master Liu Ming from the Liu Domain," Teacher Mo said with a faint smile.
"So that's Liu Ming."
Mu Yuan was no stranger to the name Liu Ming, whether from novels or from his father.
Liu Ming was somewhat thin, and his hands resembled eagle claws, appearing both gaunt and powerful.
This man was the younger brother of Liu Qingtian, the lord of the Liu Domain. Like Uncle Zhou's position in the Mu Domain, he was one of Liu Qingtian's right-hand men.
However, his strength wasn't as high as Uncle Zhou's. He was only at the late stage of the Spiritual Wheel Stage, but he was still a fairly well-known figure in the Northern Spiritual Realm.
"What are you doing here?"
Teacher Mo's expression was somewhat displeased.
This was a place for the academy's students to cultivate. This group of people had such a strong aura of killing intent, and their presence here would disturb the students' cultivation.
"Teacher Mo, please forgive us. A batch of important supplies from our Liu Domain was looted by the Blood Slaughter Gang. Now, the gang leader has fled into the Northern Spiritual Plains. My third uncle is here to capture him. Knowing that Liu Yang and I were here, he came to take a look. There's no other meaning."
Behind Liu Ming, Liu Mubai spoke with a smile.
"The Blood Slaughter Gang?"
Teacher Mo frowned.
The Blood Slaughter Gang was notorious in the Northern Spiritual Plains, a ruthless gang with countless lives on their hands.
If a student from the Northern Spiritual Academy angered them, they wouldn't hesitate to act, regardless of the academy's affiliation.
"Indeed. I came here to remind Teacher Mo and have the students be careful. After all, that guy is a madman."
Liu Ming chuckled.
"Yeah, he is indeed a madman. If I ever run into the Blood Slaughter Gang, I'll be sure to inform Teacher Mo immediately."
Mu Yuan snorted coldly.
Hearing this, Liu Ming was taken aback, then gave a dry laugh.
"You're a confident young man!"
"Confidence comes from strength. Unlike some petty individuals who prefer to scheme from the shadows and send their lackeys to do their dirty work."
Mu Yuan spoke softly, then continued as if to himself:
"That's right, only those lacking confidence in their own abilities resort to such despicable acts."
The moment these words left his mouth, a certain someone's expression instantly darkened.
