After distributing the rewards, Teacher Mo waved his hand and smiled.
"Now that this training is over, we will set off back to the Northern Spiritual Academy. In addition, there will be a month-long vacation afterward. You can choose to go home or stay at the academy."
The young boys and girls were immediately excited to hear about the month-long vacation. After being at the Northern Spiritual Academy for so long, they must have missed their homes.
Back at his residence in the Northern Spiritual Academy, Mu Chen took out a gray silver ring that shimmered with a faint silver light, similar to a bracelet.
"Brother Yuan, this is the Mustard Seed Bracelet from Xue Tu."
The so-called Mustard Seed Bracelet was a peculiar spiritual artifact. It was said that a mustard seed could hold the universe, and this artifact possessed the power to construct space, making it a rather rare storage device.
The only thing of value on Xue Tu was the Mustard Seed Bracelet.
He had hidden it away secretly.
After all, Mu Chen was also curious about what could make the Liu Territory take it so seriously.
Within the Northern Spiritual Realm, among the nine territories, the Liu Territory was the strongest.
And the Liu Territory had always wanted to become the true leader of the Northern Spiritual Realm. Over the years, they had employed various methods of coercion and persuasion, causing their influence within the Northern Spiritual Realm to grow.
Often, they acted as if they were the most powerful force in the Northern Spiritual Realm. But the other territory lords didn't really buy into the Liu Territory's show of strength.
Mu Chen naturally had no affection for the Liu Territory. He was quite happy to do anything that could disrupt their plans.
"However, I checked it, and other than this ancient copper piece, I didn't find anything special."
Mu Chen clenched his palm, and the ancient copper piece appeared.
It was covered in some extremely obscure copper patterns, so complex that they made him feel a little dizzy just looking at them.
On the back of the copper piece, the patterns were clearer, roughly resembling a black giant bird with outstretched wings.
Below the giant bird were mountains and rivers, but these mountains and rivers seemed to be encompassed by the giant bird's wings.
Wings overshadowing mountains.
"That's the Nine Netherbird!"
Mu Yuan had never seen a Nine Netherbird, but, familiar with this part of the story, he knew the black giant bird was the Nine Netherbird.
"Nine Netherbird!"
Mu Chen's eyes also revealed a look of surprise, and he couldn't help but ask:
"Is that the Nine Netherbird, ranked eleventh on the Myriad Beasts Record's Earthly Ranking?"
"Yes."
Mu Yuan nodded.
However, this Nine Netherbird was currently at a critical moment of evolving into a Nine Nether Demonic Bird.
"Brother Yuan, I feel like I've got a hot potato now."
Mu Chen forced a smile.
The Nine Netherbird, born in the Northern Darkness Land, its wings could cover mountains, and its Nether light could swallow the sun and moon.
This power was truly hard to imagine.
"This matter is beyond our ability to handle. Let's go back to Mu Territory first."
"Okay."
Mu Chen also understood the seriousness of the situation. He found Su Ling and gave him a Jade Spirit Fruit, asking him to do something.
A few days later, Mu Yuan and Mu Chen left the Northern Spiritual Academy and went straight to the Teleportation Spiritual Array in the city, heading towards Mu Territory.
The two of them passed through the familiar streets of the city, and turned a corner that had become somewhat deserted.
Suddenly, it felt as if a gentle drizzle was falling from the sky.
The cold rain pattered on their faces. Mu Yuan's footsteps abruptly stopped, and he said:
"Xiao Mu, wait. Something's not right with the sky!"
"Brother Yuan, what a sharp sense you have!"
Mu Chen's keen perception, honed from his experiences in the Spiritual Road, had only just registered the abnormality in their surroundings.
Turning back, he saw that the streets were deserted, devoid of even a single person, and even the slightest sounds had vanished.
Mu Chen raised his head, and the hazy sky flickered with a faint, visible light. The air seemed to be subtly undulating.
"You people from the Liu Territory have quite the nerve, daring to set up a Bewildering Spirit Array in Northern Spiritual City to target Northern Spiritual Academy's students!"
Mu Chen stared ahead, a cold smile playing on his lips.
He couldn't think of anyone else who would attack him before he returned to the Mu Territory, except for the Liu Territory.
The entire street remained silent.
"Ji Zong, the man of the rain, do I need to ask you to come out?"
Mu Yuan's icy voice echoed out.
"How does a student from the Northern Spiritual Academy know about me?"
A slightly surprised voice finally came from the front.
In the fine rain, a figure holding a flower umbrella gradually appeared in front of Mu Yuan and Mu Chen.
It was a slender man with a remarkably effeminate face. His thin lips were like sharp blades, radiating coldness.
Mu Chen's pupils contracted slightly. This name was no less famous in the Northern Spiritual Realm than Blood Slaughter.
Of course, that's not to say that Ji Zong's strength is superior to Xue Tu's. His own strength is probably only at the early Spirit Wheel Stage. However, he has another identity that is quite intimidating.
He is also a First-Level Spiritual Array Master.
A First-Level Spiritual Array Master, when within an array, is as terrifying as a strong expert who has reached the late Spirit Wheel Stage.
"Little Mu, relax a bit."
Mu Yuan patted his shoulder, remaining very calm, his face showing no change.
"I didn't expect that after returning from the spiritual path, I would still be less composed than Brother Yuan."
Mu Chen secretly compared himself to Mu Yuan.
"The Liu Territory spent a lot of money to ask for your help. Didn't you go to the Mu Territory to inquire about my name, Mu Yuan?"
Mu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
"So you're Mu Chen. Hand over the item."
Ji Zong didn't want to waste time talking to Mu Yuan and looked directly at Mu Chen.
"You dare to make a move in North Spiritual City? That's against the Northern Spiritual Academy's rules. If they find out, your fate won't be pretty," Mu Chen said, his eyes flickering.
"That's why I painstakingly set up a 'Bewildering Spirit Array'. No one outside will know what happens here," Ji Zong said, pointing at the empty street.
"So, you should just hand it over. I don't want to kill you, so Mu Feng doesn't go crazy. Let's all be friendly, wouldn't that be better?"
Ji Zong's voice was soft, like a woman's, but he was a genuine man. The contrast was extremely unsettling.
Mu Chen's eyes were icy, and spiritual energy was subtly surging within his body. Although he was currently trapped within Ji Zong's array, he wasn't one to easily yield.
"It seems you're not very obedient, after all."
Ji Zong flicked his finger, and the spring rain drifting in the sky became denser, accompanied by a profound fluctuation of spiritual energy.
"It's your fortune to personally experience the power of my 'Spirit Rain Array'."
Ji Zong waved his sleeve, and the rain that filled the sky suddenly howled downwards, sweeping across like a rain of blades.
Seeing this astonishing attack, Mu Chen's heart skipped a beat. Spiritual Array Masters were indeed formidable; with such an offensive, even those at the Spirit Wheel Stage would be forced to be cautious.
