“It’s my turn now!”

As his words fell, Xu Mu forcefully gripped his left hand. The purple crystal rod, sturdier than metal and rock combined, shattered into pieces with a crackling sound, instantly devolving into fragments scattered over the ground.

“Roar!”

Upon seeing his weapon destroyed, the transformed Xiao Tian Yuan couldn’t contain his rage, baring his sharp fangs as he lunged towards Xu Mu.

He had lost his rationality completely, only a single instinct remained.

Defeat him! Kill him!

Xu Mu reached out, casually as though sketching a divine stroke, his hand immediately came to rest atop Xiao Tian Yuan’s ferocious head, covered in black fur.

His wrist exerted a forceful push downwards.

Bang!

Xiao Tian Yuan, who was two heads taller than him, was driven fiercely into the ground.

A dull, thunderous noise rang out as Xiao Tian Yuan’s face was forced to meet the ground, his entire head buried in the soil.

The earth trembled as though an earthquake had occurred.

Xu Mu slowly retrieved his hand, Xiao Tian Yuan, sprawled on the ground, shuddered slightly. His transformed body rapidly regressed, soon returning to his original form.

“Once he wakes up, have him come and see me to fulfill his promise.”

After speaking, he strolled off at a leisurely pace towards the city, hands clasped behind his back.

The two Martial Arts Grandmasters stood still, unable to regain their composure for a long time.

The intensity of the battle had profoundly shaken them, altering their perceptions.

On the other hand, as Xu Mu crossed into the city, the originally hidden residents started to peek out from their hiding places.

Even though the battle between the two had been brief, the tumult it caused was substantial, even eclipsing the noise of the explosion that had rocked the eastern part of the city in the morning.

Such a huge commotion, coupled with Xiao Tian Yuan’s reputation, was simply too hard to ignore.

Especially those from large families and entities, who were keeping a constant watch.

If it weren’t for their lack of strength, preventing them from approaching the center of the battlefield, they would have sent people to monitor earlier.

“He… how is he unharmed?”

Seeing Xu Mu enter the city unscathed, onlookers who had been paying close attention to the battle were taken aback.

Could it be that Xu Mu wasn’t involved in the fight earlier?

But who else could have attracted the attention of the Martial Saint and furthermore, engage in such an intense battle?

Could there have been a third party involved?

People speculated all sorts of possibilities, however, there was one that did not come to mind – that Xu Mu had comprehensively defeated the famous Xiao Tian Yuan, the Martial Saint that defended the Da Xia Nation, without suffering a single scratch.

This was simply beyond everyone’s imagination. In their subconscious mind, it was an impossibility.

However, they all agreed on one thing.

That was, Xu Mu was not to be disturbed.

Whether or not outside intervention was involved, the fact that Xu Mu could leave unscathed from the Martial Saint was proof that no one in the current Da Xia Nation could restrain him.

“Who would’ve thought I’d witness the rise of a legend!”

The spectators couldn’t help exclaiming internally.

Judging from Xu Mu’s age, he would inevitably become legendary as long as he doesn’t encounter mishaps in the future.

He might even enter into the realm of myth, to become a deity!

The battle outside the city ended abruptly, save for the sound at the beginning, no news was leaked.

Because the only spectators were the two Martial Arts Grandmasters. If they didn’t speak, who else would know the details?

As for the news that the National Wusheng was overpowered by someone with ease, the two of them did not dare to spread the word, no matter how courageous they were, in the end, they could only swallow this news.

Yang Jiang and Zhang Ergou were the first to inquire from Xu Mu, but he dismissed them with a wave of his hand, asking them to focus on their own cultivation rather than such trivial matters.

It is not that he meant to protect Xiao Tian Yuan’s dignity, but rather he was simply not in the mood to explain.

In fact, even if he didn’t say, the two of them were able to guess most of it. The outcome of their conjecture was so incredible, that even they themselves couldn’t believe in it.

On the other hand, Yin Wen, who did not guess in the right direction, also suspected that someone else was involved.

Although she hadn’t guessed the correct outcome, she certainly enjoyed the benefits brought by this wave of battle.

Originally, being tasked by Xu Mu to collect primal beast essence blood was definitely a thankless chore bound to offend people.

Although under the name of Xu Mu, no one from the city’s major families or powers dared openly refuse, but there were all kinds of excuses, sarcastic remarks, and unavoidable gossip behind her back.

She was originally a member of a prominent family in the county city, but now she had suddenly sided with Xu Mu and was exploiting her own family. How could this not result in bad-mouthing behind her back?

Their words were not at all restrained, it felt like they aimed to let her know.

Everyone labeled her a traitor, an ungrateful, unfilial white-eyed wolf behind her back.

But they didn’t mention their intentions to make her a sacrificial lamb.

Yin Wen was not Xu Mu, so they weren’t afraid to offend her.

But now, as the battle came to an end, especially since Martial Saint Xiao Tian Yuan gave no instructions, everyone realised they shouldn’t mess with Xu Mu.

Besides, he had an immeasurable future and would definitely become an important figure they longed for but could never reach.

At this time, they had entirely dropped their thoughts of retribution and resistance, due to the unattainable distance that already existed between the two parties.

What right does a humble ant have to retaliate against a mighty elephant?

On the contrary, they wished they could stick to him and become his hounds.

And Yin Wen, who had already clearly displayed her allegiance to Xu Mu, naturally became a sought-after figure, their ideal person to flatter.

After all, they were considered family to each other!

Originally, the hesitation and refusal had turned into flattery and compliments, and the fiercest critics, even those only willing to give a little of the primal beast blood, now willingly offered all they had. They made it feel like if she didn’t accept, she would put them in a bad light.

Even her friends, who were cold and distant towards her, even it had cut their ties, were now all stick to her with friendly smiles, full of enthusiasm.

The drastic contrast and change in attitudes made Yin Wen see through the world’s hypocrisy.

It turned out that all living beings in this world are merely demeaning themselves, opportunists who flatter power.

She, who originally thirsted for power, now had an even stronger motivation.

As long as she became strong enough, no one could humiliate her or sacrifice her anymore. Everyone would just flatter her.

With this thought in mind, she was even more eager to get Xu Mu’s approval.

Against these powerful families, she showed no mercy, squeezing out every bit of value they had left without reservation.

That very night, she couldn’t wait to bring all the collected primal beast essence blood to Xu Mu.

“Sir, this is all the primal beast essence blood I gathered in the city.”

“Come in.”

Xu Mu’s indifferent voice came from inside the room. Yin Wen lowered her head and gently pushed the door open.

In the room, Xu Mu sat by the desk, holding a hand-copied martial method manual, browsing through it.

Next to him stood an old man with a slightly hunched body. In one corner of the room, two imposing middle-aged men stood silently, like two wooden statues.

Could these three be the people who intervened?

Yin Wen secretly guessed in her heart.

But she didn’t ask, instead she respectfully placed the jade box containing the primal beast essence blood in front of Xu Mu.

“Well done.”

Xu Mu opened it to take a glance, then continued to glance at the manual in his hand.

“You may leave.”

“Yes.”

With such little achievement, Yin Wen naturally didn’t dare to seek credit. She obediently left the room. Just as the door was closing, she inadvertently glanced at the faces of the three men, trying to see if she could recognize them.

Those who could cross hands with the Martial Saint can’t be nameless individuals. It wouldn’t be strange if she could recognize them.

She did recognize the people, but their identities shocked her to the point where she almost fell to the ground.

Martial Ancestor Mu Chen!

Martial Ancestor Sheng TieFeng!

Martial Saint Xiao Tian Yuan!
