From this day onward, there would no longer be any place for Jin Tai and his men in the Ancient Forest!" Mu Yuanzi cast his gaze toward the charred black devastation in the distant sea of green, ravaged by blazing fire. His right hand within his sleeve opened slightly, and the countless vines trapping the Wind God Staff swiftly recoiled, all burrowing underground amid whooshing sounds.
The moment the Wind God Staff broke free, it flashed with silver light and was immediately summoned back into Wu Feng's hand. He studied Mu Yuanzi in disbelief. He had never expected the other party to show not the slightest covetousness toward such a priceless treasure. This also thoroughly calmed him from his frantic state of worrying over gains and losses, and he began reflecting on his earlier actions.
"I hope you father and son remember your promise."
Mu Yuanzi waved a hand, signaling for them to leave the Ancient Forest at once.
"May I ask this senior's honored name?" Wangqing asked with cupped fists.
"This old man has always kept himself above worldly strife. There is no need to mention my name." Mu Yuanzi waved again, signaling for them to leave.
Since the man was unwilling to speak, the father and son did not dare ask further. After bowing together, they swiftly transformed into streams of light and departed. Their trembling subordinates finally let out a sigh of relief as well. The sudden twists and turns had truly frightened them out of their wits. They had originally been pursuing a victory, only for a terrifying powerhouse to appear out of thin air and, in the blink of an eye, place them all in mortal danger. Having escaped disaster, they naturally did not dare linger and quickly followed the father and son away.
