Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the west side of the Northern Sea Main City, there was a luxurious manor.
This place was the manor of the Mu family.
The great ancestor of the Mu family was a supreme powerhouse in the second step of the law. He had supreme authority in the Northern Sea Main City. Even the governor had to politely address the old master of the Mu family as an elder brother.
In the back garden.
A young man had just finished brandishing his sword. He placed the longsword in his hand to the side, and a middle-aged man who was waiting at the side walked over.
The young man waved his hand at the servants. “All of you can leave.”
“Yes, Second Young Master.”
The servants bowed and left. The young man raised his head slightly and glanced at the middle-aged man. A cold look flashed across his eyes. “How’s the matter going?”
Upon hearing him, the middle-aged man bowed and said, “Young Master, the Xiao family’s girl has left Heaven’s Wall City. There’s no news for the time being but based on my deduction, there’s a 90% chance that she went to the Blue Ornament Mountain. Our people have set up an ambush there.”
“Contact them and ask about the situation there. The Xiao family’s girl must die.” The young man’s eyes were filled with a cold look, “Great Ancestor will come out of seclusion in a few days. He already knows about the Xiao family. It’s very likely that he’ll bring Xiao Qingxuan back. She’s a genius and has become a Ruler at such a young age. She’s a great threat to me. I can’t let her come to the Mu family alive.”
The middle-aged man responded, then he took out a Spiritual Voice Transmission Talisman from his interspatial bag.
After a while, the middle-aged man’s expression changed slightly.
“What’s wrong?” The young man’s gaze turned cold.
The middle-aged man contacted the men a few times, but there was still no response. He said with some uncertainty, “Maybe they’re fighting against that girl from the Xiao family and have no time to respond to the voice transmission. After all, that girl is a Ruler.”
“There isn’t much time left. There mustn’t be any accidents.”
The young man stared at the middle-aged man with a cold look in his eyes.
Shocked, the middle-aged man hurriedly said, “That won’t happen. I’ve sent 2 people who are both Rulers in the late stage. If the 2 of them work together, they can even deal with a peak-stage Ruler. That girl is only a Ruler in the early stage. Besides, I let them take the golden silk net with them. There won’t be any problems.”
“As long as there are no problems.”
The youth walked to the side of the stone table and picked up a cup of tea. Just as he was about to drink it, he suddenly saw ripples in the cup.
Not only that but the entire manor also felt heavy pressure.
The youth raised his head, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
In the sky, a silver light flashed.
“Rumble… ” The ground shook non-stop.
The backyard turned into ruins, and the members of the Mu family ran over in a panic.
Even the great ancestor of the Mu family came out of seclusion early and flew out of the secret chamber. When everyone saw the scene in the backyard, their eyes were filled with shock.
The ground was empty, leaving only a 10-meter-wide crater.
At this time, the backyard of the Mu family had disappeared…
“Senior, I don’t know who offended you, but I, Mu Tiannan, apologize to you on the Mu family’s behalf.”
The great ancestor of the Mu family looked at the sky with a panicked expression.
He had also felt a heavy pressure just now.
The person who attacked the Mu family was certainly someone he could not contend with. He was just curious why the other party only attacked this place.
“Woosh…”
A sound rang out, and everyone was shocked once again. A silver light flashed past.
The light flew out from the large hole and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
“What was that silver light just now?”
Other than the Mu family’s great ancestor, no one could see what that silver light was.
There was no response, and the world returned to silence again.
The Mu family’s great ancestor looked around and asked in a deep voice, “Who was here just now?”
A man who looked like a butler walked out from the crowd, trembling. “This is where Second Young Master practices his sword. Usually at this time, Second Young Master will cultivate here.”
The Mu family members looked at the deep underground one by one. They knew that the second young master was most likely dead.
‘Second Young Master is wild and unruly. I’m afraid that he has offended someone he shouldn’t have offended.’
Everyone thought so, but no one dared to say it out loud.
The Mu family’s great ancestor’s expression changed slightly. Although the Mu family had a lot of power in the Northern Sea Main City, there were very few people in their direct line of descent. There were only 3 people in the younger generation. The eldest brother had some talent but when he went out to explore, he was swallowed by a Starry Sky Beast. The third brother was a trash who could not cultivate. In a way, the second young master was the hope of this generation.
However…
Mu Tiannan sighed slightly in his heart and said, “Get someone to fetch the people from the Xiao family of Heaven’s Wall City.”
“Yes, Great Ancestor.”
On the distant Blue Ornament Mountain.
Ou Yangming waved his hand, and the silver long spear returned to his hand again.
The Northern Sea Main City was more than half a million kilometers away from here. Despite that, it was still a simple matter for Ou Yangming to kill people from afar.
He put away the spear.
‘I still have to keep a low profile. If that b*stard Chi Ming finds out, it’ll be troublesome.’
Ou Yangming was very cautious.
Last time, he only managed to escape by a fluke. Fortunately, he learned the Soul-sucking Art in the Seven Stars Sect’s library. That was how he was able to resist Chi Ming’s mental control and finally escaped.
Under such circumstances, Ou Yangming did not know the changes to his body at that time.
If he were to do it again, Chi Ming would learn from the previous lesson. He would have no way to escape.
Ou Yangming had made contact with Wutong. After learning that they were all safe, he let them hide in that place for the time being.
With his strength at the moment, he was still unable to contend with a powerhouse half a step to the Heavenly Rank. He had to be careful. He could not expose his traces, and neither could the people around him.
‘What should I do next?’
Ou Yangming looked into the distance, thinking about where he should go next.
At the edge of the Great Wide World, there was a large mountain called the Big Python Mountain.
That place was very dangerous. It was adjacent to the Abyss of Despair, where the Ancient Demons were sealed. There were often Ancient Demons coming out of the abyss. Many powerhouses from various races were stationed there to kill the Ancient Demons and temper their cultivations.
On the Big Python Mountain, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One, who had come up from the Spiritual Realm, was carrying an old man on his back as he hurriedly fled.
“Master, you must hold on. We’re about to leave the Big Python mountain. As long as we leave this place, those people won’t be able to find us,” the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One comforted the old man on his back as he ran.
This was the master he had acknowledged in the Great Wide World. The master was a supreme powerhouse at the peak of the law boundary.
At that time, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One had just come out of the Spiritual Realm and had mistakenly entered this place. He had been pursued by a few Ancient Demons. It was his master who had suddenly appeared and killed a few Ancient Demons, saving his life.
This was the first powerhouse the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One had seen in the Great Wide World.
Not only had this expert saved him, but he had also refined pills to help him recover his strength. The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One had no relatives in the Great Wide World. After feeling the cruelty of this place, he had taken the other party as his master and cultivated by his side.
His master, He Mu, was an expert from the Big Python Mountain. The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s days in the Big Python Mountain were not bad.
Under He Mu’s guidance, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One also smoothly broke through to a Ruler and became a small powerhouse in the Great Wide World.
“10,000 Beasts, you can’t run away with me. Their target is me. Put me down and quickly leave this place.” He Mu was heavily injured, and his voice was trembling.
“No!”
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One shook his head, “Master, I’ve listened to you in everything these past few days, but I can’t do it now. Without you, I would’ve died a year ago. My life was saved by you, Master. How could I abandon you and run away!”
His voice was very determined. His master had treated him well and even saved his life. He could not be such a heartless person.
He Mu’s eyes were filled with muddy tears. In his heart, he did not want to implicate his disciple. His disciple’s talent was not bad. The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was a genius who could steadily break through to the law boundary. He could not lose his life because of an old man like him.
As such, He Mu said again, “10,000 Beasts, listen to me. If you carry me behind your back, neither of us can escape. Let me go, and you can leave this place to explore the outside world. In the future, when you return from your studies, you can take revenge for me.”
“No!” 10,000 Beasts shook his head again.
He understood his master’s thoughts. His master was only giving himself an excuse to leave alone.
The person who had injured his master was a second-step powerhouse. He might not have the opportunity to avenge his master’s death in the future.
After living in the Great Wide World for more than a year, 10,000 Beasts had a clear understanding of the Great Wide World. He knew how powerful a second-step powerhouse was.
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One gritted his teeth and sped up again.
He said, “Master, don’t worry. When I was in the Spiritual Realm, I knew a friend. He came to the Great Wide World a step before me and is very mighty. I’ve already asked him for help. As long as he finds out about this news, he’ll come to save us. As long as we hold on for a few days, we’ll be able to escape from danger.”
He Mu shook his head, feeling helpless in his heart. He knew that his disciple had come from a small world, and he also knew that his disciple was not the only one who had entered the Great Wide World from that small world.
Nevertheless, so what?
It was just a small world where a Venerable One was considered a top-tier powerhouse. What could such a powerhouse be in the Great Wide World?
He Mu did not have any hope in his heart.
Perhaps the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One saw through his master’s worries, so he said again, “I know that you might not believe it, Master, but I can confirm that my friend is formidable. He once said that if I encountered any trouble in the Great Wide World, I could send a message to him, and he’d help me solve it.”
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One did not know Ou Yangming’s specific strength. At that time, he thought that the young fellow was just a Ruler. It was only after he had broken through to become a Ruler that he once again recalled the aura that the young fellow had revealed in the Spiritual Realm. Only then did he understand how unfathomable the other party was.
Furthermore, when Ou Yangming said those words to him, the confidence in his eyes was not fake.
He Mu laughed bitterly. He did not believe that the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One would have any friends to save him. That friend had only come from the Spiritual Realm for a few years. At most, he would be a Ruler. Even if the friend was very lucky and broke through to the law boundary, it would still be impossible for him to save them. Besides, the Big Python Mountain was at the edge of the world. Who knew how long it would take to rush here?
Seeing that his disciple did not let go of him, He Mu did not know whether he was happy or sad.. In the end, he could only let out a long sigh.
