Mu Yuan was absolutely the most terrifying monster Liu Wan'er had ever seen, without a doubt.
Gulp.
Liu Wan'er pursed her lips tightly, then walked to Mu Yuan's side and began to massage his shoulders.
"Comfortable!"
Mu Yuan closed his eyes and whispered, "If it wasn't for enjoyment, what's the point of having a female follower!"
Li Lang's eyes widened, staring at the scene that was completely overturning his worldview.
He was even stunned for more than ten seconds.
"Not bad, not bad."
Mu Yuan, while enjoying himself, casually glanced at Li Lang and asked, "Liu Wan'er, what does he do?"
"Mu Yuan, he is…"
But before Liu Wan'er could finish, Mu Yuan interrupted her.
"Liu Wan'er, you are my follower now. You may not directly address me by name."
"Yes, Young Master Mu!"
Liu Wan'er quickly corrected herself.
"You're quite sensible."
Mu Yuan was very satisfied with Liu Wan'er's performance and nodded, "Let's get back to the previous question."
"Young Master Mu, Li Lang is my cousin. He's a genius from the Eastern Spirit Realm, and one of the helpers I invited."
Li Lang, who had just regained his senses, was utterly bewildered.
"Liu Wan'er, you..."
Liu Wan'er was the pampered little princess of the Liu Clan, a mercenary family, and she herself was at the peak of the early Spirit Wheel Realm. She had never taken any of her male peers seriously.
Yet now, she was being so well-behaved and obedient in front of Mu Yuan, who was only in the mid-Spirit Movement Realm.
Was this even the Liu Wan'er he knew?
Liu Wan'er quickly explained,
"Cousin, you misunderstand. Young Master Mu is very strong. Zhang Long was defeated by Young Master Mu earlier because he provoked him. Even I am no match for Young Master Mu."
"This time, when we compete for the Earth Spirit Fruit, Young Master Mu will help me get half of one."
"Cousin, you should understand how powerful Young Master Mu is now, right?"
Liu Wan'er was also afraid that her cousin would run his mouth and offend Mu Yuan again.
"Sigh!"
Li Lang sighed, thinking to himself,
They say love is blind, and the same is true for girls.
"Liu Wan'er has gone so far as to demean herself to make Mu Yuan look good."
At this moment, Mu Yuan looked at Li Lang and asked:
"What is the strength of the top talents from the Eastern Spirit Realm?"
As a genius from the Eastern Spirit Realm, Li Lang would certainly be familiar with the other geniuses who came to compete for the Earth Spirit Fruit.
"Heh… This guy actually dared to deceive Liu Wan'er, claiming he could definitely obtain the Earth Spirit Fruit. Then I'll let the other geniuses trample him underfoot, and expose his true colors in front of Liu Wan'er."
Li Lang's eyes flickered with a hint of mockery as he chuckled:
"Young Master Mu, since you're so strong, there's no need for you to know their strengths. You can crush them all anyway and obtain the Earth Spirit Fruit, right?"
Liu Wan'er was anxious, but Mu Yuan said calmly:
"That's true. If one sword doesn't work, I'll use two or even three. There's really no need to know their strength."
Arrogant!
Pompous!
Ignorant!
That's what Li Lang thought of Mu Yuan.
After that, Li Lang didn't say another word, and the three of them focused on their journey.
They passed through dense forests and encountered some Spiritual Beasts along the way, all of which Li Lang dealt with.
Mu Yuan didn't make a move, instead, he would direct Liu Wan'er to do so.
Li Lang, not wanting his cousin to tire herself out, reluctantly took on this arduous task.
About an hour later, the number of people around them dwindled, but they occasionally encountered the corpses of one or two Spiritual Beasts along the way.
Those Spiritual Beasts were, shockingly, mid-level Spiritual Beasts.
Mu Yuan knew that these Spiritual Beasts were the ones cleared out when the Earth Spirit Valley's restrictions were activated, and he also knew they were nearing their destination.
Sure enough, after the three of them passed through another patch of forest, their vision suddenly opened up. A stream flowed from the gravel ground, and on the opposite side, a small valley appeared.
The valley's entrance was narrow, and dense tree branches stretched out from both sides, with piles of rocks obscuring the valley, making it appear indistinct.
"Let's go."
Mu Yuan took out the Earth Spirit Token, and a gap immediately appeared at the valley entrance. The three of them then leaped out nimbly, directly passing through the gap and charging into the valley.
The tree stood in the very center of the valley.
It was a massive tree, resembling a blooming flower.
Among the emerald leaves, hints of jade could be seen. These were the round fruits, and even from this distance, one could smell the faint fragrance that refreshed the mind.
That tree was naturally the Earth Spirit Tree.
And around the Earth Spirit Tree, not a blade of grass grew, only the Earth Spirit Tree itself.
"Hehe... Everyone's arrived quite early!"
At that moment, a gentle laugh echoed, giving off a feeling of being refreshed like a spring breeze.
"Aren't you here just in time as well?"
More voices, filled with a violent aura, echoed out.
Then, several figures rushed over.
Swish!
Swish!
Twelve figures appeared before Mu Yuan and the other two.
Without exception, all of them had cultivation bases above the Half-Step Spirit Wheel Realm.
Six were from the Eastern Spirit Realm and six from the Western Spirit Realm.
The strongest four among them all possessed the peak cultivation of the early Spirit Wheel Realm.
They were the two great geniuses of the Eastern Spirit Realm and the Western Spirit Realm, respectively.
From the Eastern Spirit Realm, there were Nie Daoqun and Liu Tairong.
From the Western Spirit Realm, there were Wang Kangping and Yuan Xueyang.
The other eight people were their helpers, all with cultivation bases at the Half-Step Spirit Wheel Realm and the early stages of the Spirit Wheel Realm.
Nie Daoqun spoke first, looking at Liu Wan'er with extreme dissatisfaction. He said:
"Liu Wan'er, our two realms gave you a spot only because we respected that old geezer from your mercenary realm!"
This dissatisfaction was tinged with strong hostility.
Because the spot given to the mercenary realm had originally belonged to their Eastern Spirit Realm.
"However, you should also prepare yourself. If I'm not mistaken, the guy beside you is only at the mid-Spirit Movement Realm!"
Nie Daoqun pointed at Mu Yuan, who was standing beside Liu Wan'er, his voice suddenly turning cold:
"Boy, do you know that your presence is an insult to us?"
Mu Yuan didn't say anything.
To put it bluntly, he couldn't be bothered to talk.
And his silence made Nie Daoqun even angrier.
Liu Wan'er taking away a spot for the Eastern Spirit Realm had already made him unhappy.
Now he was being ignored by a little ant at the mid-Spirit Movement Realm.
Especially with the other geniuses from the Eastern Spirit Realm and the Western Spirit Realm present, for him, a top-three talent from the Eastern Spirit Realm, to be ignored by an ant like this…
Afterward, this matter might become a joke.
Damn it!
The next moment, Nie Daoqun indeed made his move.
Without any hesitation.
Powerful spiritual energy surged forth, and surprisingly, it transformed into a spiritual energy blade in front of him.
Whoosh!
The blade gathered, then shot out violently. That sharp blade aura easily pierced through the air, reaching an extreme speed.
Everyone had just reacted, but no one sympathized with Mu Yuan.
Even many of the geniuses present had a hint of coldness in their eyes, even a sense of "serves him right" for being killed.
In their eyes, a mere ant like Mu Yuan appearing here was already polluting their vision.
Death was letting him off easy!
