Mu Yuan's words were laced with barbs, clearly alluding to his underhanded actions.
"Mu Yuan, this has nothing to do with you."
Liu Mubai stared at Mu Yuan, speaking in a low voice.
"Didn't you have Chen Tong cause trouble for me?"
Mu Yuan rolled his eyes.
If he didn't know that the Nine Netherbird was Mu Chen's opportunity, he wouldn't mind spreading this news throughout the entire Northern Spiritual Realm, making things difficult for the Liu Clan.
Liu Mubai's gaze turned cold, his voice gradually chilling:
"If I get the chance, I'll personally test your abilities. I hope you won't disappoint me."
"You might be in for a surprise."
Mu Yuan replied casually, not taking Liu Mubai's words to heart.
Liu Ming, standing nearby, listened to their exchange. His eyes narrowed as he looked at Mu Yuan and sneered, "So you're Mu Feng's eldest son. Heh… your name is quite well-known in the Liu Clan!"
Then, he turned to Mu Chen, who was standing beside Mu Yuan, and said, "You must be the Mu Chen who's the only one from our Northern Spiritual Realm to qualify for the Spiritual Road?"
"Mu Feng has indeed fathered two promising sons."
That sentence held no joy, no sorrow.
Mu Yuan wasn't surprised by Liu Ming's reaction.
After all, the Mu Clan and the Liu Clan had many disputes, making them essentially enemies.
"It's no use envying my old man! Because you can't give birth."
Mu Yuan had never lost a verbal sparring match.
"What a sharp tongue!"
Liu Ming frowned slightly.
Mu Yuan chuckled and turned, leading Mu Chen towards the Eastern Courtyard Camp's encampment.
"Thanks for the warning about Blood Slaughter, we'll be careful."
Teacher Mo was inwardly displeased. He hadn't expected Liu Ming to hold such a grudge against a young man. It was beneath the dignity of a strong person.
After returning to the camp, Tang Qian'er pouted and said, "What's so great about those guys from the Liu Clan? They lost something and still have the nerve to act like that."
She had been watching them, and naturally heard the barbed words of Liu Ming and Liu Mubai, which made her feel a bit annoyed.
"When people are in a bad mood, they need to vent," Mu Chen said with a smile. Then, he frowned, "But what did the Blood Slaughter gang steal from the Liu Clan that caused them to react so strongly? Not only did they wipe out the Blood Slaughter gang, but they also chased them all the way here?"
"Brother Yuan, you said that on purpose just now, didn't you? Do you know something?"
Mu Chen looked at Mu Yuan as he spoke.
"Xiao Mu, this matter concerns your future opportunities. I can't tell you for now."
Mu Yuan patted Mu Chen on the shoulder.
Tang Qian'er: "..."
Mu Chen: "..."
Brother Yuan was playing coy again.
Mu Chen knew that if Brother Yuan didn't want to talk, he wouldn't budge, no matter what.
Shaking his head helplessly, Mu Chen stuffed a Jade Spirit Fruit into his hand.
"Brother Yuan, this is for you. It'll help with your cultivation."
"I haven't spoiled you for nothing."
Mu Yuan took the Jade Spirit Fruit and walked towards his tent.
This Jade Spirit Fruit should be enough for him to condense the fourth Dragon-Elephant Phantom. By then, his cultivation would reach the peak of the late stage of the Spiritual Movement Stage.
He'd be more confident about tomorrow's trip to Earth Spirit Valley.
Mu Chen gave Tan Qingshan a Jade Spirit Fruit and returned to his own tent.
The next day, the camp was lively again. Many young boys and girls excitedly huddled together, talking about their teams' gains from yesterday. The crisp laughter of the girls echoed through the camp, filled with youthful vitality.
Those from the Liu Clan, led by Liu Ming, departed temporarily at dawn. They likely went to search for the Blood Slaughter.
Mu Yuan saw the smile on Mu Chen's face and knew that he had not only condensed his second Senluo Death Seal the previous night but had also broken through to the late stage of the Spirit Movement stage.
And he himself wasn't doing too badly either; he had indeed condensed his fourth Dragon-Elephant Phantom.
"Freak."
Tang Qian'er muttered upon hearing this, then raised her pretty face and proudly said:
"Hehe, this lady isn't bad either; I also broke through to the late stage of the Spirit Movement stage last night!"
Her expression was as if she was saying, come and praise me.
Unfortunately, her pride didn't last three seconds before she heard Mu Yuan's voice:
"If you hadn't had that Spirit Gathering Pill, it probably would have taken you another four or five days to break through."
Tang Qian'er's expression immediately fell.
"Hahaha..."
Mu Yuan chuckled and took the lead, leaving the camp and heading towards the Northern Spiritual Plains.
In the camp, Liu Mubai watched their receding figures. A trace of barely perceptible coldness flashed in his eyes.
Liu Wan'er had been waiting at the location she and Mu Yuan agreed on yesterday.
Beside her stood a young man with thick eyebrows and large eyes, not Zhao Hu from yesterday.
His spiritual power fluctuations far surpassed the Spirit Movement stage, yet he hadn't condensed a Spirit Wheel at his Sea of Qi. He was considered a Half-Step Spirit Wheel stage expert.
"Wan'er, what about the people you said would help you compete for the Jade Spirit Fruit? Aren't they here yet?"
The young man with thick eyebrows and large eyes questioned with a confused expression.
Those qualified to compete for the Jade Spirit Fruit could bring two helpers.
Naturally, the stronger the helpers, the better.
Suddenly, he saw Mu Yuan hurrying towards them in the distance.
"Mid-Spirit Movement stage? Where did this kid come from? Doesn't he know to avoid us..."
Immediately, he attacked, throwing a punch as casually as if he were clearing away trash.
But the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from this simple punch actually reached the initial stage of the Spirit Wheel Stage.
"Li Lang!"
Liu Wan'er reacted, her face changing drastically.
She knew that Mu Yuan's strength was above hers.
And Li Lang was even a little weaker than her.
This meant that once Li Lang angered Mu Yuan, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Liu Wan'er clenched her fists, which shone like gold, and activated her Emperor Spirit Fist to blast towards Li Lang.
Boom!
The powerful force erupted, sending Li Lang flying over a dozen meters.
Li Lang's blood and qi churned, and he was completely stunned, staring at Liu Wan'er in disbelief.
He and Liu Wan'er had grown up together, but she had never directly addressed him by his name.
Yet, just now, not only had she called him by name, but she had also used a spiritual technique to knock him away.
"Wan'er, he..."
Li Lang was truly puzzled.
At this moment, Mu Yuan had arrived in front of Liu Wan'er and immediately spoke:
"Liu Wan'er, I've been traveling non-stop, and my shoulders are a bit sore!"
Liu Wan'er's delicate body trembled slightly.
Mu Yuan really treated her like a follower!
She was, after all, the little princess of a mercenary family, a member of the Mercenary Realm!
"Liu Wan'er, didn't you hear me?"
Mu Yuan spoke again.
Although Liu Wan'er was unwilling, she clearly remembered the spiritual power fluctuations emanating from Mu Yuan as he sprinted through the jungle earlier.
That spiritual power fluctuation had actually reached the peak of the late stage of the Spiritual Movement Stage.
In a single night, he had broken through from the middle stage of the Spiritual Movement Stage to the peak of the late stage of the Spiritual Movement Stage.
This talent is terrifying!
Naturally, Mu Yuan's strength was also greater.
Liu Wan'er's heart was filled with waves of emotion!
