Chapter 508: 475
Clang!
A blue light streaked before everyone’s eyes.
Clink!
The Lifebound flying sword released by Yan Ruoxi was sliced into two by the blue light in an instant.
She stood there, eyes wide, incredulous, not understanding what had just happened.
The blue light traced a graceful arc and instantly turned back, circling her neck. Then her beautiful head dropped down, splattering blood.
The remaining few turned pale with fright and hurriedly tried to flee.
But the blue light didn’t give them a chance, with a few flashes it had slain them all.
“No!”
The two copper mirrors lost control and fell from the sky. Xu Yin, now free, immediately tried to intervene, but it was too late.
After all, they had been fellow disciples for hundreds of years. Even if their relationship had ruptured, she still hoped to spare their lives.
“What’s the use in keeping such traitors alive?”
A blue figure, emanating a transcendent aura, descended from the sky. The blue light made a return trip and flew towards the figure, disappearing into the figure’s sleeve.
“I pay my respects to Elder Lu!”
Xu Yin sighed and bowed respectfully.
“Do you know me?” asked Lu Jingkong, looking somewhat surprised.
“Not long ago, my father sent me a message saying Elder Lu was coming to help,” said Xu Yin.
“This fellow said he would keep it a secret, but he was the first to spill the beans,” Lu Jingkong teased, adding: “But since he told you, he must hold you in high regard.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Looking at the others, she could see from their surprised faces that they had not been informed ahead of time.
“My father only warned me in advance and gave me several puppets in case anything unforeseen occurred,” Xu Yin explained.
“He’s always liked to use his power to oppress others, I didn’t expect him to use his brain now.”
Lu Jingkong teased mercilessly.
Xu Yin didn’t dare to agree with such words. After all, she couldn’t speak ill of her own father in front of others.
The reason Xu Mu didn’t disclose his whereabouts was not to play mind games, but to avoid any leaks that might endanger Xu Tian Yi.
If Xu Tian Yi was taken hostage, it would put Xu Mu at a major disadvantage.
If it weren’t for the fear that they might do something rash, he probably wouldn’t have even informed Xu Yin.
“Elder Lu, the formation has been breached. What should we do now?” Xu Yin asked.
“Don’t worry. Xu Mu has already sent me a message. He has rescued the people and is on his way back. He asked me to take care of you. Without his help, it wouldn’t have been so easy for them to break the formation,” scoffed Lu Jingkong.
The reason why the formation had not been breached was not because the formation was strong, but because she had secretly led people in maintaining it.
If it weren’t for her identity being inconvenient to reveal, she alone could have repelled these people.
Now that she has dual cultivation of both martial and magical arts and possesses the bloodline of Kun Peng, she can either defeat or at least parry two nascent soul beginners and one old nascent soul intermediate.
“I see!”
Upon hearing that Xu Mu was coming back, Xu Yin felt relieved.
“Yin’er, what exactly is going on? Is your father back? And who is this Elder Lu?” Su Luan asked anxiously.
At this time, she was still in the dark. The only thing she knew was that the woman in front of her was pretty. She couldn’t possibly be…with her husband…
“Auntie, I don’t know much either!”
Xu Yin told Su Luan and a few of her younger brothers and sisters everything she knew.
On the other side, the Three-in-One Monk who had broken the formation had just begun his happiness before a giant halberd pierced his chest and hooked out his nascent soul from within his body.
“I thought you were something special, turns out you’re just a piece of trash!”
With a shake of his halberd, Xu Mu shattered the Nascent Soul of the Three Absolutes Elder, not even giving him a chance to say a word.
The remaining two Nascent Soul cultivators, witnessing this scene, trembled all over and turned to run away without any hesitation.
Although they don’t know the identity of their opponent, considering the blow he just dealt, even if they united they probably wouldn’t be his match.
One of these Nascent Soul cultivators was none other than the Hundred-Treasure True Monarch who had previously led the team of the Four Seas Immortal Palace in the Xuan Yang Secret Realm.
“Catch!”
Xu Mu naturally wouldn’t let them escape, he took out the God Refining Tripod, operating the Martial Method, and immediately shot two streams of blue mist from within, capturing the fleeing Nascent Souls and pulling them back.
With the increase of his strength, the God Refining Tripod also demonstrated more and more powerful abilities, one of which was this capturing blue light.
The great reputation of the Heavenly Spirit Treasure wasn’t for nothing, dealing with two early-stage Nascent Souls was easy as pie.
“If you don’t want to die, stay right where you are, or else——”
Before he could finish speaking, several Golden Core cultivators who wanted to run away were directly wiped out by Xu Mu with the God Extermination Skill.
The God Extermination Skill is a tier ten skill that Xu Mu had long ago promoted to a Transcendent level; even an ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivator could be seriously injured by it, not to mention those at the Golden Core Stage.
The Golden Core cultivators attacking the Palace of Pure Heart were intimidated by Xu Mu, no longer daring to harbor any nefarious intentions.
Xu Mu cast a spell, summoning several water dragons to guard the surroundings to prevent any minor disturbances.
Even if these Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators teamed up, they might not be able to defeat this water dragon summoned from a tier ten spell.
“In the future, if possible, I should raise some spiritual beasts with higher intelligence. The beings summoned by spells are somewhat inadequate for this kind of task.” Xu Mu thought to himself.
He took out a healing pill and ingested it. After refining and recuperating for a short while, he then flew towards the heart of the Palace of Pure Heart, where Mo Wuxin was undergoing seclusion.
“Husband!”
“Father!”
Seeing him fly over, their faces were filled with joy and excitement.
Xu Mu nodded slightly, his gaze first falling on Lu Jingkong.
“Thank you for your help, Elder Lu.”
To avoid any accidents, before he took action, he sent a message to Lu Jingkong asking him to keep an eye on the Palace of Pure Heart.
If Lu Jingkong were not here to help, he wouldn’t have dared to act so boldly.
“Hmph!”
Lu Jingkong seemed somewhat disgruntled and huffed coldly before impatiently saying, “Now that everything is settled, I’ll leave first. There are still many things I need to deal with.”
She was uniting the two major forces in the Outer Sea to hunt down Huo Du Laozu, and had only come all this way to keep an eye on a few Golden Core cultivators because of Xu Mu’s summons.
“If that’s the case, then I won’t keep you. I’ll make sure to thank you properly in the future.” Xu Mu said with a smile.
Lu Jingkong cast a glance around and her gaze finally lingered on Su Luan, then her figure vanished into thin air.
Xu Mu looked towards the seclusion area.
Spiritual energy was still gathering continuously from heaven and earth, and the massive spiritual vortex created a disturbance in the surroundings.
The breakthrough of Mo Wuxin had reached a crucial moment.
“Husband, should we notify Sister Mo?” Su Luan said anxiously.
Forming a Nascent Soul wasn’t a simple matter, and Mo Wuxin had to do it at such short notice, there was a high chance of failure.
The consequence of failure could very likely be death.
Xu Mu shook his head and said, “All her concentration is on the breakthrough now. Notifying her at this point would only distract her, we just need to wait patiently!”
Actually, he could have informed Mo Wuxin in advance, but he chose not to do so.
