That Must Have Been My Mistake

"Damn it, that's the nemesis we just encountered at the valley entrance."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Hua Yun and Wu Mo felt a chill run down their spines and instinctively buried their heads deep in their chests.

"You are Chen Mu of the Demonic Rock Dynasty?"

Fortunately, Lin Dong and his companions headed straight for the forces of the Demonic Rock Dynasty.

"I am Chen Mu, and who are you?"

Chen Mu squinted as he sized up Lin Dong and his group, who were approaching menacingly. Mo Ling and the other three were all at the Half-step Nirvana Stage, but he couldn't see through the strength of Lin Dong and Little Flame.

"Li Pan of your Demonic Rock Dynasty actually dared to steal the Heaven Talisman Spirit Tree of my Great Yan Dynasty, causing us great losses. Tell me, how do you intend to compensate us for this?"

Lin Dong took out a section of withered ancient tree. The Tree Pattern Talisman that should have been present at the junction of the main trunk and branches were now completely empty.

"It seems Li Pan has succeeded, but where is that fool now? He deserves to die for bringing trouble with a troublesome dynasty of unknown rank for my Demonic Rock Dynasty!"

Chen Mu, his mind racing, deliberately stalled for time, saying, "The treasures of this Ancient Guardian's Cave are ownerless, and we all have a chance to compete for them, so how can the Heaven Talisman Spirit Tree be considered the property of your Great Yan Dynasty?"

"So, you, Demonic Rock Dynasty, are going back on your word?"

The smile on Lin Dong's face quickly vanished, and he casually put away the Heaven Talisman Spirit Tree.

Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, and he laughed, "You're mistaken, sir. It's not that we're trying to renege..." Slap!

"Smack!"

A strong gust of wind swept by, Chen Mu felt a blur before his eyes. The loud slap was especially loud in the quiet hall, and a bright red handprint quickly appeared on his left cheek.

"I'm asking you about compensation, why are you spouting so much nonsense?"

Lin Dong lowered his arm and looked at Chen Mu expressionlessly.

Chen Mu's smile suddenly froze. He reached out and touched his left cheek in a daze. The burning heat on his left cheek told him that everything that had just happened was real.

Someone actually dared to provoke the Demonic Rock Dynasty in broad daylight! Someone actually dared to attack Chen Mu, Nirvana Stage expert!

"Aaaaah! How dare you hit me?! I'll kill you!!!"

Completely driven to madness, Chen Mu unleashed a torrent of violent Origin Energy, his palms pulsating wildly with hand seals, before he suddenly punched... "Smack!!!"

"Smack!"

Another resounding slap sent Chen Mu flying with terrifying force, a bright red palm print quickly appearing on his right cheek, creating a stark contrast between the two sides.

"Puff!"

It was this slap that directly woke up Chen Mu from his rage. The previous slap could be understood as a surprise attack, but this slap came when he was fully on guard, and it was still overwhelming, knocking him away in one blow.

To easily slap away a Nirvana Stage expert was on high alert, wouldn't this Great Yan Dynasty expert's Origin Energy cultivation be even stronger than that of his Senior Disciple Brother Shi Kun from the Demonic Rock Dynasty?!

"Get out of here! All of you, get out of here!"

Chen Mu roughly shoved aside the powerful figures from the Demonic Rock Dynasty who were about to help him up, and looked solemnly at Lin Dong: "Who exactly are you, sir? Our Demonic Rock Dynasty has nothing to do with you..."

"Since you want to renege on your debt, then you'd all be dead!"

Lin Dong remained calm, and with a thought, the powerful Mental Energy from his Niwan Palace surged forth, crashing down on Chen Mu and the others like a tidal wave.

"Buzz!"

The solidified Mental Energy transformed directly into transparent crystal bubbles, trapping more than a dozen powerful figures from the Demonic Rock Dynasty within them.

"Mental Energy? Damn it, this kid is a powerful Heavenly Symbol Master! Quickly break these mental bubbles, or we'll all be dead!"

The moment the crystal bubble completely sealed, the color drained from Chen Mu's face, and he immediately launched a frantic attack on the bubble that was enveloping him.

Having fought against the Heavenly Symbol Master, he knew their methods all too well.

Unlike the first to fifth seal masters, whose attack power was slightly weaker, once Talisman Master advances to the realm of Heavenly Symbol Master, their Mental Energy is tempered by the pure power of heaven and earth, such as the Wind-Thunder Power, and strengthened to an extremely terrifying level, with power far surpassing that of the past.

High-level Heavenly Symbol Master can even conjure profound Mysterious Rune out of thin air using their Mental Energy, directly connecting with the power of heaven and earth, and possessing immense power capable of moving mountains and overturning seas with every move.

Even Nirvana Stage expert of the same level as Heavenly Symbol Master would never want to face Heavenly Symbol Master in this state. It's just too damn painful for a warrior to encounter a mage who wants to walk a dog, no, I mean, who wants to fly a kite!

"Mountain Breaking Seal!"

"Great Yuan Extreme Blade!"

As expected of one of the strongest figures in the Demonic Rock Dynasty, Chen Mu unleashed two powerful Middle-grade Creation Stage Martial Art with overwhelming force, going all out!

"Bang bang bang!"

The violent fist imprint and the sharp, narrow blade light arrived almost simultaneously, slamming into the crystal bubble formed by Mental Energy.

Unfortunately, the bubble didn't budge!

"It's over. We've run into a brick wall this time. This person is at least a top-tier first-level Heavenly Symbol Master, no, even Two Seal Heaven Talisman Master. Li Pan, you have no idea what kind of terrifying enemy you've provoked for my Demonic Rock Dynasty. You will definitely die a horrible death!!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Mu, pale-faced, closed his eyes in despair.

"Garbage has no right to live."

Lin Dong smiled sinisterly, and then suddenly clenched his fist. One by one, the crystal bubbles suddenly contracted, crushing the powerful figures of the Demonic Rock Dynasty into a mass of flesh and blood amidst screams of agony.

The pungent smell of blood filled the entire hall, and everyone fell silent in fear!

The Demonic Rock Dynasty team is wiped out!

"Brother, didn't our Great Yan Dynasty manage to get our hands on the Heaven Talisman Spirit Tree? And I killed Li Pan of the Demonic Rock Dynasty with one blow. When did Li Pan steal the Tree Pattern Talisman?"

Little Flame scratched his head, seemingly puzzled.

"Oh, then I must have remembered it wrong."

Lin Dong thought for a moment and smiled apologetically.

"Then I must have remembered it wrong..."

"I must have remembered it wrong..."

"I must have remembered it wrong..."

That soft laugh echoed continuously in the silent hall.

The deceased men at Chen Mu: "..."

The officials from various Dynasties inside the hall. "..."

"Holy crap! The people of the Demonic Rock Dynasty died such a damn injustice!!!"

Hua Yun and Wu Mo hung their heads, staring intently at their toes, their eyes twitching wildly. They were terrified that this evil star would see their facial expressions and that he would kill them on a whim!

"You two good-for-nothings over there, I'm talking to you. Yes, I'm talking to you two, the two pieces of trash from the Profound Ice Dynasty and the Great Wu Dynasty, come here."

Just as the two were mentally ranting, a voice rang in their ears at the same time. Startled, Hua Yun and the other person took a deep breath and ran over in small steps.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

Hua Yun and Wu Mo both had solemn expressions and clasped their hands in a fist salute.
