This disciple saw that Mu Jinyu finally believed his words and felt a bit embarrassed. He then struck while the iron was hot:
"Senior brother... because of you... because of you..."
His speech beca stuttered, clearly worried that the following words might upset Mu Jinyu and hesitated to say them.
Mu Jinyu frowned and said, "Because of what? Is there any punishnt? Just say it directly, whatever the punishnt is, I will bear it."
The disciple saw Mu Jinyu so determined, he imdiately felt relieved and said in one breath, "Uh, because senior brother destroyed the Heavenly Sword Pool, causing others to be unable to cultivate in it. Although it wasn't your original intention, after a discussion between the sect leader and the elders, they decided to give you a punishnt..."
"What punishnt, just say it directly," said Mu Jinyu indifferently.
The disciple then said, "It's a sect mission, to go deep into the Yuntian Mountain Range and find..."
Mu Jinyu found the disciple's words amusing and then nodded, "Fine, I'll take on this mission. Go back and tell them."
The disciple, upon hearing this, perford a respectful gesture towards Mu Jinyu and then left.
Mu Jinyu still found it amusing in his mind. The sect's punishnt mission wasn't really a punishnt at all.
Going to the Yuntian Mountain Range to find a Spirit Fruit, though challenging, wasn't too difficult, and there was no deadline to complete it. Clearly, it was just an excuse to appease the anger of the other top ten disciples on the List of Outstanding Talents.
However, since Mu Jinyu agreed, he naturally wouldn't fail to complete it.
"Another sect mission?"
At this mont, Wen Rou, who was also awakened by the noise, ca out and looked at Mu Jinyu, asking.
"Yes, I accidentally ssed up sothing, so I have to give an account to the sect. But it's no big deal; I'll be back in a few days," Mu Jinyu said with a smile, reaching out to rub Wen Rou's head.
"Then be careful," Wen Rou looked around cautiously, and not seeing Jian Ruyan, she snuggled into Mu Jinyu's chest and softly said.
Wen Rou didn't know that Jian Ruyan was actually in her room, using her divine sense to observe how she was snuggled up with Mu Jinyu.
Her face didn't show any unbearable expression, but it was sowhat complex.
...
Southwest of Yan Kingdom.
Once a valley full of birds' songs and fragrant flowers, now has undergone an unexpected change.
"Kill!!"
"Kill them all!"
"Show no rcy, leave no one alive!"
"For the Liuyun Sect, for the Four Great Sects!"
The battle cries resounded, as now and then the heads of Mingyue Valley disciples were severed by Liuyun Sect disciples, blood splattering, eyes wide open with resentnt and unwillingness as they died unable to close their eyes.
"Damn it, you'll all die terribly!!"
The elders of Mingyue Valley were trapped in a killing formation set up by the elders of Liuyun Sect with an array plate. Their cultivation was mostly exhausted and they were no match for the Liuyun Sect elders. After a bloody battle, they were becoming increasingly exhausted.
They could only watch helplessly as the disciples of Mingyue Valley were slaughtered by the increasingly fierce Liuyun Sect disciples!
"Haha, the plan was a success. Today, we'll annihilate Mingyue Valley in one fell swoop. From now on, the Four Great Sects of Yan Kingdom will be replaced by us, the Liuyun Sect."
In a small grove outside Mingyue Valley, the sect leader of Liuyun Sect was watching the scene of slaughter in Mingyue Valley and said proudly to Di Shitian.
Di Shitian's expression was indifferent. He wasn't as excited as the sect leader, as he was once a prince. The Four Great Sects of Yan Kingdom ant little to him.
Seeing the sect leader getting carried away, Di Shitian reminded, "Sect leader, it's dangerous to be overly complacent. Although Mingyue Valley is the weakest among the Four Great Sects, there are a few Fanxu Realm experts in the sect. Our elders, although ard with 'spiritual treasures', might fail if they are not cautious."
"Yes, yes, I know. Don't worry," the sect leader nodded.
Although Liuyun Sect had been operating ticulously for nearly twenty years, aiming to beco one of the Four Great Sects of Yan Kingdom, there was still a significant gap between them and the weakest Mingyue Valley in terms of heritage.
The strength disparity between the sect leaders and the Supre Elders of both sides was significant. The sect leader and Supre Elders of Mingyue Valley were undoubtedly Fanxu Realm experts, whereas Liuyun Sect had only reached the eighth or ninth layer of the Divine Transformation Realm!
The reason they were able to fight like this was because the Liuyun Sect leader had obtained many "spiritual treasures" in a fortuitous opportunity!
Just as cultivation techniques and elixirs have ranks, weapons and armor also have different levels. The weakest are magic artifacts, followed by magic treasures, and above them are spiritual treasures.
Spiritual treasures are essentially exclusive to Fanxu Realm experts, with imnse power that renders magic treasures insignificant in comparison.
Although the sect leaders and Supre Elders of the Four Great Sects of Yan Kingdom were typically at the Fanxu Realm, they were only at the first or second layer, at most the third layer.
This level of strength made it impossible for them to refine spiritual treasures themselves, nor could they afford to buy any.
This led to the current situation, where the elders of Mingyue Valley were being defeated by elders from Liuyun Sect wielding spiritual treasures!
"Boom!!"
At this mont, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted from Mingyue Valley, which had been trapped and unable to escape!
"Disciples of Mingyue Valley, listen up. Escape from this side now, we will create a path for you!"
The Liuyun Sect leader and Di Shitian heard these words, along with several subsequent vibrations from within Mingyue Valley, causing their expressions to change.
"Damn it, these wretched won dare to self-destruct to allow their disciples to escape, intending to preserve Mingyue Valley's legacy?!"
When the Liuyun Sect leader heard the thunderous noise and saw the killing formation being torn open, he knew what had happened inside.
It was the Supre Elders of Mingyue Valley, self-destructing with their Fanxu Realm cultivation to forcefully open a bloody path to allow the sect's disciples to escape.
"Kill them all, leave no one alive!" Official source ıs NoveI~Fire
The sect leader couldn't hold back anymore, shouted a kill order, and soared into the sky to intercept the fleeing Mingyue Valley disciples who were making a break for it after the opening was blasted open.
Di Shitian did not join the pursuit. He had foreseen this happening.
After all, the Supre Elders of Mingyue Valley were trapped in the killing formation and unable to leave, also being forced to their deaths by Liuyun Sect elders ard with spiritual treasures. Faced with inevitable death, it was better to create a path to survival for their disciples.
"Crunch, crunch!!"
Di Shitian closed his eyes and involuntarily clenched his fists!
This scene was too familiar to him!
Years ago, he had gone through the sa ordeal. His father, mother, elder brother, and elder sister... all sacrificed themselves to forge a path for him and Di Yin.
Alas, though he had grown strong now, his younger brother... had perished in the outside world!
Perhaps because of this shared grief, Di Shitian did not participate in the slaughter of the Mingyue Valley disciples; instead, he turned around and left the grove...
