"Elder Chen is dead?!"
Inside the Heavenly Palace, many elderly figures cloaked in black robes stared intently at the extinguished candle, with expressions of shock and disbelief.
Although the people present weren't all on good terms with Elder Chen, his mission represented the Heavenly Palace's decree as the Heavenly Palace Divine ssenger, and dying like this was no small matter.
The Heavenly Palace could not settle this matter so easily!
A voice angrily exclaid, "Revolution! Elder Chen rely asked him to halt, and he dared to kill Elder Chen. This really shows he has no regard for our Heavenly Palace!"
"Is he blaming us for not stepping in when he was being hunted by various forces recently?"
"Humph, regardless of what he thinks, daring to kill the Heavenly Palace Divine ssenger can only be repaid with his own life!"
"Speaking of his strength, it's only around the fourth layer of the Unity Realm Stage, isn't it? How was he able to counter-kill Elder Chen? Could he have lured Elder Chen into a life-threatening zone such as the Extrely Cold Hell and killed him there?"
"Just look and you'll know, but I don't think Elder Chen would be foolish enough to follow him into a life-threatening zone to seek death."
The crowd angrily discussed, and then one person raised a hand to point at the half-quenched candle.
Suddenly, the candle reignited with a ghastly green fla.
Soon, scenes began to display within the candle fla.
From Elder Chen finding Mu Jinyu, to coveting Mu Jinyu's two Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, and finally to the life-and-death struggle with Mu Jinyu, resulting in his physical body's destruction, and finally dying completely at Mu Jinyu's hands during the Soul Search...
After watching Elder Chen's cause of death, all present fell silent and speechless.
From Elder Chen's experience, it seed like he deserved his tragic ending.
The Heavenly Palace had sent him to persuade Mu Jinyu to cease hostilities with the intention of negotiation, not with the provoking attitude that appeared to have angered Mu Jinyu. Moreover, Elder Chen coveted Mu Jinyu's Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, intending to confiscate them under disguise, which led to his death—a complete consequence of his own actions!
Then, several people couldn't help but say, "Regardless, killing a Heavenly Palace Divine ssenger is a death sentence. He must pay the price, I will go kill him!"
"I'll go too; Elder Chen died openly in his confrontation. It's too dangerous for you to go alone. Let's go together!"
"I'm going too!"
In an instant, five or six people responded to the call and planned to go to intercept and kill Mu Jinyu to avenge Elder Chen.
But actually, everyone present knew their true intentions.
All wanted to take advantage of the situation to openly seize the Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures from Mu Jinyu, unlike Elder Chen, who ended his own life recklessly.
"Alright, everyone quiet down!"
Just then, the Heavenly Palace Master, who had been silent, suddenly spoke coldly.
In an instant, those who were fervently determined to intercept and kill Mu Jinyu to avenge Elder Chen fell silent. Thıs content belongs to Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
The room returned to calm.
"I will personally go and find him."
The Heavenly Palace Master rasped softly.
"What?"
"Such a small issue, there's no need to trouble the Palace Master, right?"
"That's what I an. We can handle this without alerting the Palace Master personally. This ti, there will be no chance for that kid to survive!"
"..."
Everyone quickly tried to persuade.
The Palace Master shook his head, saying, "I have already decided, there is no need to speak further."
No one dared to further persuade him imdiately.
Because when the Palace Master said this, it ant his will would not be shaken further; persuading would only anger the Palace Master, risking their own lives. There were precedents, and how could they continue to persuade?
They sighed inwardly; they had a chance to seize two never-before-seen Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, but now, there was no way; the treasures could only belong to the Palace Master.
The Palace Master really was not understanding; clearly surpassed the rging Paths realm, yet still competing with them for the spiritual treasures of little aning to him?
The crowd felt a bit confused.
...
Boundless Sect.
Mu Jinyu had already searched the Treasure Pavilion of this sect, but unfortunately, did not find the last three kinds of spiritual dicine he needed.
He had only found so spiritual dicine he was looking for.
Including the five kinds of spiritual dicine from the Dragon Elephant Sect.
A conflict arose.
Mu Jinyu also felt a bit regretful, then took a large portion of the good things from the Boundless Sect's Treasure Pavilion before leaving the sect.
Of course, before departing, he had already perford a Soul Search on the soul of Lei Yongshou trapped inside the Divine Formation Disc and executed all the aggressive elders of the Boundless Sect who pursued him.
Thus, his grudge with the Boundless Sect was finally settled, thoroughly resolved.
After leaving the Boundless Sect, Mu Jinyu finally proceeded with a Soul Search on the Man in Black Robe from the Heavenly Palace.
Despite the Man in Black Robe's various resistances and many restrictions engraved in his soul to prevent enemies from searching his soul if he encountered danger, these restrictions posed no problem for Mu Jinyu, so he quickly succeeded in performing the Soul Search on the Man in Black Robe.
The Soul Search result greatly surprised Mu Jinyu, though upon careful consideration, it also felt natural.
The Man in Black Robe's identity was that of a major religious sect's forr sect leader, previously hard by Mu Jinyu. Hence, his hostility towards Mu Jinyu was strong, always scheming to provoke Mu Jinyu to make the first move so he could eliminate Mu Jinyu with a justified reason.
To avenge his forr sect and prevent it from being calculated against.
And at the ti, the Heavenly Palace's intent when dispatching him was truly to have Mu Jinyu cease hostilities, but not in such an aggressive manner; it was ant to be more moderate—after stopping hostilities, have all the opposing forces compensate.
It's just that the Heavenly Palace had too many forr religious sect leaders like this Man in Black Robe, so the Heavenly Palace Master couldn't directly compel all the forces for an explanation.
After discovering these clues.
Mu Jinyu finally understood why the Heavenly Palace was indifferent and unresponsive during the ti he was hunted by major forces.
Considering he had joined the Heavenly Palace, he was one of their own, especially with such astonishing talent—less than twenty years old and already in the Unity Realm Stage. The Heavenly Palace taking this opportunity to save him would make him grateful, and the returns after achieving Peak cultivation would surely be far greater than standing by and observing today.
The Heavenly Palace, if not foolish, should rationally help quell those major forces to support him.
But if...the high-level mbers of the Heavenly Palace are all previous sect leaders of these forces, then their indifferent behavior suddenly makes sense!
Considering if Mu Jinyu doesn't die and eventually achieves the Peak, they would have sleepless nights.
Mu Jinyu suddenly felt amused; upon learning how vast the Heavenly Palace's influence was, with top-grade talents from various Noble Families and Sects invited to join upon erging brilliantly.
Networks spanning the entire Kunlun Ruins, establishing itself as the true number one great force.
He once thought that these great forces were rather foolish to allow the Heavenly Palace to infiltrate them like this and ultimately monopolize everything?
Now it appears that rather than the Heavenly Palace infiltrating various forces of the Kunlun Ruins, it has instead been restrained by them due to absorbing talents from all these forces.
