The Overbearing Ye Family

Bai Mo and the others, each holding Immortal Stones, fled swiftly.

On Bai Mo's wrist was a bracelet that emitted waves of energy. Under the shroud of this energy, the Immortal Stones seemed to fall into a deep sleep.

Several figures were chasing after her, most of whom had Blood Qi Value of around 8.0.

If Bai Mo hadn't been holding the Immortal Stones in one hand, she should have been able to handle it with her strength.

Lin Mu's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this.

Bai Mo also noticed Lin Mu's figure, a smile appeared on her face, and she rushed towards him.

When she saw that Lin Mu was holding the Immortal Stones in one hand, a look of surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes.

She knew how strange the Immortal Stones was; was it really alright to just hold it so openly?

"Lin Mu!" Bai Mo came to Lin Mu, panting heavily.

"So disheveled!" Lin Mu laughed.

"There's nothing I can do. The bracelet requires Blood Qi to activate, and I can't even unleash half of my strength!" Bai Mo said.

Lin Mu nodded slightly. "Understood!"

His gaze fell upon the people who were chasing after him.

A long sword appeared in his hand, and a terrifying aura emanated from it.

Laugh!

The long sword slashed through the air, unleashing a terrifying offensive.

A very deep mark appeared on the ground.

Those who were chasing after him suddenly changed their expressions, and their gazes toward Lin Mu were filled with fear.

Because Lin Mu's strike could instantly kill a first-tier, peak-stage martial artist.

These are the kinds of people you shouldn't mess with.

"Anyone who crosses the line dies!" Lin Mu said.

There was a hint of resentment on their faces.

They knew Bai Mo's strength and that they could obtain the Immortal Stones by using some tricks.

But Lin Mu blocked their way, and they dared not go forward.

A man stepped forward at this moment. "I am from the Cui Family of River City, I don't know..."

Laugh!

Before he could finish speaking, a whooshing sound rang out.

A slash grazed past his ear, and one of his ears fell off. Intense pain swept over him, and his eyes looked at Lin Mu with more fear.

"Let's go!" he said immediately, turning and leaving.

He knew very well that Lin Mu was no ordinary person and was extremely ruthless.

People like that are not to be trifled with.

"I wonder who he is! He completely disregards the Cui Family!" The man covered his ears and quickly left.

The others also turned and left; they didn't want to be killed by Lin Mu either.

A hint of joy appeared in Bai Mo's beautiful eyes.

Lin Mu gave her a strong sense of security.

Any girl would develop feelings for Lin Mu, not to mention that she already liked Lin Mu.

"Thank you!" A hint of shyness appeared on Bai Mo's face.

"It's alright!" Lin Mu said.

"Aren't you afraid of offending the Cui Family for my sake?" Bai Mo asked.

"The Cui Family? What's that?" Lin Mu asked back.

Bai Mo was slightly taken aback. "You don't understand the power dynamics in the provincial capital?"

Lin Mu: "Why would I know!"

"No wonder! The Cui Family is one of the Eight Great Families in the provincial capital. They have produced Eighth-Order Martial Artist in the family, but they have declined somewhat now. The only one they claim to be strong is the patriarch, who has reached the Seventh Order. They are considered relatively weak among the Eight Great Families," Bai Mo explained.

"I see!" Lin Mu said.

In his opinion, these Eight Great Families were nothing special; the members of these families only had a cultivation level of around 9.0.

Although he's not bad compared to his peers, he's still not good enough in Lin Mu's eyes.

Bai Mo seemed to have seen through his thoughts and said in an annoyed tone, "The Eight Great Families are the pillars of the provincial capital. Their true geniuses were sent to Sacred Origin Martial School when they were teenagers. Naturally, those who come to participate in the Martial Arts Exam won't be too strong!"

Lin Mu was slightly taken aback. "Then what fairness is there in this so-called Martial Arts Exam?"

"This world is inherently unfair. Some people are born into privilege, and the Eight Great Families have made significant contributions to the stability of the entire Jiang Province!"

"It's only right that we have some privileges!" Bai Mo explained.

Lin Mu shrugged and didn't say anything more.

He knew that the world was very dangerous.

There are Fierce Beast, Demon, and Foreign Races that exist only in books.

Every martial artist has a mission.

The stronger will naturally receive more resources and privileges.

It can only be said that some people's parents went further afield, so their starting point will naturally be different.

However, Lin Mu didn't care. With a system, he might be able to forge his own path.

"Look, Qian Mu!"

Bai Mo suddenly shouted.

Lin Mu's eyes turned to another direction.

He discovered that Qian Mu was mingling in the crowd, vying for an Immortal Stones.

His skills were decent, but not outstanding in the Martial Arts Exam.

Holding a long staff, he Martial Skill against the people around him, forcing them to retreat one by one.

Seeing that he could obtain the Immortal Stones, several figures walked towards this side.

These individuals possessed extremely powerful auras, and each of them held Immortal Stones.

The Immortal Stones is stored in a transparent container, making it very safe.

No one dared to step forward and snatch it.

The man in the lead was about 1.8 meters tall, dressed in a blue robe, with a sharp look in his eyes, a short sword hanging at his waist, and a faint Source Qi surrounding him.

It has clearly entered the Second Order.

"Kid, I've got my eye on this rock. If you don't want to die, get lost!" The man's voice was indifferent.

His eyes were filled with disdain as he looked at Qian Mu.

Those who know him know that his name is Ye Fengmian, a member of the Ye Family, and he is quite prestigious in River City.

A hint of resentment crossed Qian Mu's face. "You all have Immortal Stones, why do you still want to steal them?"

Ye Fengmian's face showed disdain. "My little brother needs it!"

Qian Mu's eyes turned to the side of him. Beside Ye Fengmian was a thin man with Blood Qi of only 7.0.

Seeing this, Qian Mu's face turned extremely ugly.

With his strength, he still has a chance to barely manage to seize a piece of Immortal Stones.

But faced with power, he seemed to have no choice.

Ye Fengmian's eyes held a sharp look.

"If you don't want to, then die!"

Qian Mu clenched his fist, took a deep breath, and turned to leave.

He is not a reckless person.

He has no chance of winning against these people.

"Wait!" the thin man shouted at this moment.

Qian Mu turned around.

"Your strength is not bad, go and help us seize another Immortal Stones!" the man said.

Qian Mu was slightly taken aback, his eyes filled with anger.

It wasn't enough to just rob him of his Immortal Stones; they also wanted to ruin his path to the Martial Arts Exam.

"Aren't you guys going too far!"

Qian Mu Mudao.

"Excessive? Don't you know the rules of this world? Besides, you must be Qian Yuexing's younger brother! That guy injured several Ye Family at Sacred Origin Martial School, you should know that!" said the thin man.

Qian Mu's pupils contracted slightly.

He was naturally aware of these things.

The whole family is quite talented; apart from the older brother who died unexpectedly, the others have all achieved success.

However, his cousin was not a reckless person, so he didn't know much about why she would injure someone from the Ye Family.

But now, the other party's aggressive behavior is becoming unbearable for him.
