“Mu Xun, you said that Tao Ran occupied your Mu family’s Mushen City and even privately visited Little Alchemy Pavilion. Is this true?”
Zhang Cheng looked at Patriarch Tao Ran and asked in a deep voice.
Beside him, a gray-robed middle-aged man in his thirties took a step forward and bowed to Zhang Cheng. Then he pointed at Patriarch Tao Ran. “Sect Master Zhang, it’s him.
“Patriarch Tao Ran of the Nine Mystic Sword School occupied my Mu family’s Mushen City and blatantly ordered my Mu family members about.
“He had done all kinds of evil deeds. Not only did he privately enter Little Alchemy Pavilion, but he also casually used the spiritual herbs in the Mu family’s storeroom.
“So many of the Mu family’s treasures were squandered by him!”
This middle-aged man named Mu Xun was hoa.r.s.e, as if he was a cuckoo screaming in extreme grief.
His face flushed red as he turned to Zhang Cheng and bowed. “Sect Master Zhang, please seek justice for my Mushen City.”
Han Muye turned to look.
Patriarch Tao Ran actually did not refute.
In that case, these accusations might be true.
It was normal to consume more spiritual herbs to study the Void Nascent Pill.
However, the disciples of the Mu family could not stand it anymore, so they went to find the Wind Spiritual Sword Sect.
Zhang Cheng waved his hand, his expression unchanged. He said indifferently, “Mushen City is the holy land of alchemy in the Western Frontier. Someone from the Mu family asked for help and even brought 10,000 people’s letters written in blood. Of course I have to interfere.
“Tao Ran, you are no longer qualified to hold down the fort in Mushen City.”
Green spiritual light rose from his body, and a sword flickering with spiritual light appeared behind him.
A burst of sword intent surged towards Han Muye and Patriarch Tao Ran, causing golden light to appear in front of them.
This was the energy stirred up by his own strength resisting the sword light.
“Tao Ran, obediently return to the Wind Spiritual Sword Sect with me and explain your crimes.
“I’ll inform the Nine Mystic Sword Sect to come and fetch him.”
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Han Muye. Then he said coldly, “If you don’t stop, I won’t show mercy.”
From the beginning to the end, Zhang Cheng did not mention Han Muye.
As long as Patriarch Tao Ran dared to resist, Zhang Cheng would definitely kill Han Muye today.
A dense power appeared on Patriarch Tao Ran.
Sword Dao, path of the sword, way of the sword.
As long as they did not encounter a Heaven Realm expert, they could do whatever they wanted.
Han Muye did not speak. Sword intent also condensed on his body, and a small green sword appeared above his head.
Seeing this small sword, Zhang Cheng was first stunned, then his eyes lit up, and he gritted his teeth. “So it’s you!”
He recognized that this Sword of the Soul was the method that almost killed him at the foot of the Nine Mystic Mountain.
Moreover, at this moment, he clearly felt the same soul aura as the sword strike back then.
The one who attacked back then was Han Muye!
Han Muye did not answer, but gathered all his strength.
He had killed a Heaven Realm expert on Cloud Nest Ridge and killed a Myriad Transformation Daoist incarnation on Green Wheat Mountain. Han Muye was now facing a Heaven Realm expert and was no longer as respectful as before.
If he joined forces with Patriarch Tao Ran, it was possible to kill Zhang Cheng.
“Okay, okay.”
Zhang Cheng raised his hand, and the sword light behind him condensed into a golden sword, bringing with it endless wind and clouds. It was as if a single slash of the sword could trigger the clouds within a hundred miles.
The sword technique of the Wind Spiritual Sword Sect.
“Sect Master Zhang, I don’t think you have to make the decision for my Mushen City, right?”
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from below.
Han Muye was slightly taken aback.
The voice of the Mu family’s Patriarch?
Didn’t he go to the Southern Wasteland?
Turning around, Han Muye saw Patriarch Tao Ran smiling.
This fellow can actually hold back from saying that Patriarch Mu has returned, he thought.
Old fox.
The next moment, Han Muye glared even more.
The entire Great City Protection Formation outside Mushen City shook, and all the clouds were knocked away.
An old man from the Mu family in a green robe appeared on the light screen of the array.
At this moment, the aura on his body was clearly already at the Heaven Realm!
Patriarch Mu had stepped into the Heaven Realm!
He was the first alchemy Heaven Realm expert in the Western Frontier!
Not only that, Han Muye saw that the aura of the pink-clothed female cultivator standing beside the Mu family’s Patriarch was actually not inferior to the Mu family’s Patriarch.
He was also in the Heaven Realm!
The Mu family actually had two Heaven Realm experts!
Outsiders didn’t know about this at all!
Not only did Han Muye’s expression change, but Zhang Cheng’s face also twitched as he stared at Patriarch Mu and the female cultivator beside him.
“Fellow Daoist Mu, you’ve stepped into the Heaven Realm. Congratulations.” These words came out from between his teeth.
The Mu family’s ancestor nodded and pointed at the female cultivator beside him. “I haven’t introduced you. This is my Dao companion, Hong Fu.
“She’s from the Southern Wasteland.
“Previously, because of the war between the Southern Wasteland and the Western Frontier, we couldn’t publicize this matter.
“Now that the Southern Wasteland is at peace with the Western Frontier, we can be together openly, right, Sect Master Zhang?”
As Patriarch Mu spoke, the female cultivator beside him looked at him lovingly.
“Yes, yes.” Zhang Cheng’s gaze turned to the Mu family’s ancestor and the female cultivator. He nodded and said, “Fellow Daoist Mu has returned. I was worried for nothing.”
Patriarch Mu chuckled and cupped his hands. “Sect Master Zhang is kind. Why don’t you come to my Mu family for a drink?”
Drinking at this time? Han Muye wondered.
Can Zhang Cheng drink the wine?
He’s full of anger, isn’t he?
Moreover, it would be strange if Zhang Cheng could drink when facing two Heaven Realm experts of the same level.
Han Muye almost laughed out loud.
Zhang Cheng waved his hand and said coldly, “I’m busy with sect matters. Goodbye.”
With that, he flew ten miles away.
Chang Ming and the others quickly followed.
Mu Xun, who was standing in place, looked up at the Mu family’s patriarch with a pale face. Just as he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly widened, and a sword light pierced through his chest from behind.
Patriarch Tao Ran shook his head and said softly, “This Zhang Cheng is still so petty…”
Patriarch Tao Ran had stayed in the Wind Spiritual Sword Sect back then and knew Zhang Cheng.
The Mu family’s ancestor narrowed his eyes and raised his hand, throwing Mu Xun’s corpse into the city below.
The array dissipated, and Han Muye and Patriarch Tao Ran flew down.
When he returned to the Rain Lotus Garden, Patriarch Tao Ran smiled and told Han Muye that the Mu family’s Patriarch had already returned.
It was just that he had not made it public for the time being to hide Hong Fu’s ident.i.ty.
“This old fellow went to the Southern Wasteland. Not only did he cultivate to the Heaven Realm, but he also kidnapped Fairy Peony.
“A double heaven realm cultivation technique is amazing…”
The envy in Patriarch Tao Ran’s eyes could not be concealed.
It was unknown if he was envious of the Mu family’s Patriarch’s heavenly realm or that he came back with Fairy Peony, Hong Fu.
Perhaps both?
“Fellow Daoist Tao Ran, my husband has traveled thousands of miles to the Southern Wasteland to save me. I will naturally be with him, in life or death.”
Outside the door, Fairy Peony’s voice sounded.
Patriarch Mu and Hong Fu walked in.
Hong Fu looked at Han Muye and said softly, “You’re Han Muye from the Nine Mystic Sword Sect, right?”
Han Muye hurriedly bowed and said, “Han Muye greets Senior.”
A Heaven Realm cultivator should be respected.
Hong waved her hand and sighed. “In the Southern Wasteland, if Brother Gao Changgong hadn’t willingly joined the Red Flame Army in exchange for me, I wouldn’t have been able to return.
“I should thank you both.”
Sword Pavilion’s Elder Gao? Han Muye thought.
Volunteered to join the Red Flame Army in exchange for her?
What does that mean?
Han Muye looked at Patriarch Mu.
The Mu family’s ancestor nodded and said, “The Red Flame Army’s General Xiao Yueli detained Hong Fu. It was Brother Gao who volunteered to enter the camp alone and replaced Hong Fu.”
Xiao Yueli?
Han Muye remembered this name.
Back at the foot of the Nine Mystic Mountain, when Elder Gao Changgong was preparing to die, he asked Han Muye to go to the Central Continent to pa.s.s a message to this person.
There seemed to be something between the two of them…
Han Muye looked up and saw Patriarch Mu’s excited face. “Brother Gao had fallen into the Red Flame Army prison for me and Hong Fu. The Mu family will never forget this kindness.”
