Mu Qingyao's eyes were filled with shock. Why was the Second Ancestor inside her body?
Were her thoughts truly her own, or were they influenced by that sinister tree... Who was she, really?
She took a step back, cold sweat breaking out all over her body, trembling uncontrollably. Who was she, indeed...
Above.
Black Bull didn't care about anything else. As long as Chen Xun didn't tell him to stop, he didn't need to listen to those boring ancient family stories, which were irrelevant to them. Ji Yan would handle the aftermath.
A large black coffin descended with a thunderous crash in mid-air, accompanied by two mournful cries. Everything within was captured by the black coffin, including the Three Souls and Seven Spirits, even the spiritual roots were not spared!
In the distance.
Little Crane wanted to speak but swallowed her words.
She looked at the familiar figure suppressed by Second Brother's black coffin in the distance, her eyes slightly dim. After all, Mu Qingyao had once been one of her few friends...
She had often stood up to protect her and Feng Jinyu in the Dao Academy, with an outwardly graceful and gentle deanor, but an inwardly carefree and unrestrained nature. If not for her Mu family identity...
But there were no "ifs." She slightly turned her head away, not wanting to look anymore.
"Hmph, the Mu family is too presumptuous, daring to touch Brother Xun's bottom line. They've had their secrets exposed!"
Little Chi snorted coldly, looking up with icy eyes, "Sister Crane, if our family hadn't had so influence back then, you would have been taken away by others. Never sympathize with the enemy; it's only because we're powerful now."
"Hehe, Fourth Brother, you understand this too."
"Sister Crane, you don't know. There was soone called 'Long Guanzi' who later beca friends with Brother Xun, but he crossed Brother Xun's bottom line."
Little Chi's words were cold as he continued, "Brother Xun didn't hesitate to kill him either, without a mont's doubt, shaking the entire Da Li world of immortals! He said that walking the path of immortality, there can be no room for rcy."
"...Hmm, Eldest Brother never told about this."
Little Crane smiled slightly, looking at Little Chi, who was even angrier than she was, feeling much better inside.
"Ah, Sister Crane, you don't know. For Brother Xun and Brother Bull to get where they are now, don't be fooled by their harmonious appearance. They've endured countless hardships along the way."
Little Chi's gaze was still on the sky, where the pitiful wails were gradually diminishing, "Sister Crane, you haven't experienced much. Follow Brother Xun more, and you'll understand. In this life, I admire Brother Xun and Brother Bull the most."
Little Crane nodded, gently cupping Little Chi's face with her hands, "Fourth Brother, I never doubt Eldest Brother's decisions, nor will I cause trouble. Whatever he does, I support."
"Hehe, so do I!" Little Chi suddenly flashed a bright smile, "Sister Crane, quickly absorb this Mu Yuan. I'll guard you."
"Alright~"
Little Crane smiled, her heart no longer filled with anxiety. Controlling this Mu Yuan would allow her to control the entire Mu Yuan Realm, but this item was clearly not left by that sinister tree and had yet to be refined.
Above.
Chen Xun and Black Bull sat cross-legged on the head of the Boundary-breaking Ship. The Mu family threat had been eliminated, and the two figures in the black coffin were nothing but bones. However, the storage rings needed to be examined.
In the storage ring of the Mu family's Second Ancestor, there was actually the "Water Spirit Decision, Sixth Layer." Judging by this strange boundary, many Mu family mbers cultivated the Water Spirit Decision, but there wasn't a single ngxu Bi Baoshu in the Mu Yuan Realm.
Chen Xun, now a grand cultivator, could discern so of the mysteries of the technique without needing to compare it to determine its authenticity.
The "Water Spirit Decision, Sixth Layer" required the purest wood essence to activate, and it couldn't be copied with divine sense, only with life force, and one must be able to cultivate to the fifth layer.
This item touched the bottom line of all cultivators, truly a cursed object. It's likely that the Mu family's Second Ancestor only managed to break free from so control of the sinister tree after successfully cultivating this technique.
However, the Mu family's cultivation thod was peculiar, not sothing humans could cultivate.
Their ability to cultivate ngmu was definitely not due to the Water Spirit Decision but rather their family bloodline.
The rest of the items in the storage ring were of little consequence. They didn't dare touch the Thousand chanism Spirit Seal, and it was sent into the chaotic space currents, left to its own fate.
"Bull, this 'Water Spirit Decision, Sixth Layer' might need the Heavenly Origin to activate. We'll try it later; this place is tricky."
"Moo~"
"If the ancient Mu family is taken over by Ji Yan, his power will soar. ngmu is quite a lucrative business."
Chen Xun clicked his tongue, his gaze drifting to a spot on the ground, "Two Ghost Face Clan Daoists, care to join for a chat?"
"Hahaha..."
"Hehehe..."
Two awkward laughs rose from the ground as Yu Fangshuo and the chubby man quickly ascended, cupping their hands in respect.
But you couldn't tell from their expressions or habitual actions that they were assassins. Their aura was utterly unremarkable, without a trace of killing intent or malice.
"Yu Fangshuo, greets the two Daoists."
"Ghost Ming, greets the two Daoists."
The two maintained their human appearances, very courteous, not daring to step onto the Boundary-breaking Ship, as they sensed a danger from within, an innate sense of crisis from years of being assassins.
They stopped in front of the giant ship, not on the sa level as Chen Xun and Black Bull, showing their respect.
"It's been a hard thousand years. These four longevity fruits are an extra gift for you, as I need you to gather so information in the Wild Heaven Region. It won't involve any dangerous matters."
Chen Xun smiled gently, raising his hand slightly, "I've heard about your work, and my evaluation is just two words: professional."
"Moo moo~~" Black Bull also chid in, sharing the sa evaluation!
The two exchanged glances... So they were indeed the employers, no wonder they were so generous. But this broke the rules; eting face-to-face wasn't necessarily a good thing.
"Daoist... please take it back." Yu Fangshuo's eyes narrowed, suppressing his greed, "If you wish to reward us, please go through an interdiary. Let's pretend we never t."
Ghost Ming also bowed his head, adhering to the industry's rules. No matter how well they did, it was their duty, and they never sought extra rewards, nor did they like interacting with employers.
Seeing more, knowing more, ant their path to immortality might end. Such things had too many precedents in the grand world, not a good thing.
"Oh?" Chen Xun's expression was a bit surprised, his voice suddenly becoming imposing, "Are you refusing to give face?"
"Moo?!"
"How dare you, which cultivator dares to disrespect Brother Xun!!"
Little Chi shouted from afar, looking up abruptly, but when he saw the two, his pupils contracted, "Brother Xun, sorry for interrupting, continue your conversation. I won't interfere again, two seniors, it's a misunderstanding!!!"
His expression changed dramatically, quickly hiding under a blanket. The aura of these two was far stronger than his!
Yu Fangshuo and Ghost Ming exchanged glances, their eyes catching sight of the blanket, feeling a bit unlucky... What a shabby thing, even stained with filth.
Such unintentional actions of a small cultivator were naturally of no concern to them, especially since it was this one's spiritual beast. Even when beating a dog, you must consider its owner.
