Veiled Woman

A man and a woman.

The woman wore a veil and luxurious clothing.

Even though her face was hidden, her figure conveyed an aura of nobility, elegance, and pride.

She was undoubtedly beautiful.

The two youths standing beside her were tall and carried an air of arrogance.

Even more astonishing were the woman's cultivation and age.

She appeared to be the same age as Mu Yuan, yet her spiritual energy fluctuations reached the Spirit Wheel Realm.

It was important to note that even Liu Mu Bai, the top-ranked student at Northern Spiritual Academy, had not yet reached the Spirit Wheel Realm.

The two youths beside her, clad in leather armor, were only at the late Spiritual Movement Realm, but a faint scent of blood emanated from their bodies.

If the assumption was correct, these two youths were likely adventurers.

"Hmph, a brat at the mid-Spiritual Movement Realm dares to stare at our young lady like that! He's asking for death!"

One of the youths, named Zhang Long, spoke up, his eyes filled with utter contempt.

The other youth, Zhao Hu, threw a punch.

The punch was magnificent, like a tidal wave, and struck the corpse of the Fire Spirit Wolf beside Mu Yuan.

The Fire Spirit Wolf exploded without warning.

A mist of blood flew everywhere, even splattering Mu Yuan.

Although Zhao Hu was only at the late Spiritual Movement Realm, he possessed the strength of the peak late Spiritual Movement Realm.

Mu Yuan remained silent.

"Haha! Zhang Long, if I'm not mistaken, this brat should be a student from Northern Spiritual Academy. It's rare to encounter something interesting. If we just kill him, it won't be fun."

"It's better to just scare him into a daze!"

Zhao Hu's laughter was unrestrained and carefree.

As for the veiled woman, she remained quiet, showing no emotional reaction.

Students cultivated in small places and small academies like Northern Spiritual Territory were too weak; they weren't even worth her looking at.

Even if Zhang Long and Zhao Hu killed him, so be it.

A mere mid-Spiritual Movement Realm cultivator; killing a few of them wouldn't cause any ripples.

Moreover, the veiled woman had a powerful background. There were very few people in the Northern Spiritual Territory whom she had to be wary of.

"Zhao Hu, this student from Northern Spiritual Academy is too easily scared. It's no wonder; this Fire Spirit Wolf was much stronger than him. He was lucky that someone else took care of this group of Fire Spirit Wolves, and he just reaped the benefits."

Zhang Long also wore a condescending smile.

They were originally mercenaries, hunting spirit beasts and searching for natural treasures in the Northern Spiritual Plains. Then they encountered this veiled woman.

However, in front of the veiled woman, they dared not be presumptuous.

But with Mu Yuan's appearance, they could openly kill him to vent their frustrations!

"Is this interesting?"

Mu Yuan spoke indifferently.

Those familiar with Mu Yuan knew that once he spoke so calmly, it meant someone was about to have a bad time.

But Zhang Long and Zhao Hu did not know this.

Upon hearing Mu Yuan's words, the two exchanged glances and burst into laughter.

"Zhao Hu, did I just hear things? This brat actually asked us if this is interesting?"

Zhang Long grinned, his white teeth chilling like a beast's.

"No, I heard it too."

Zhao Hu glanced at Mu Yuan, then smiled sinisterly, his smile somewhat bloodthirsty:

"Brat, didn't your instructors at Northern Spiritual Academy tell you that the worst thing you can do when encountering adventurers like us is to provoke us?"

"I'm telling you, playing like this is really interesting!"

"Hand over all your spirit beast cores, and I'll leave your body intact! Hahaha!"

Zhang Long's voice, laced with contempt, stirred the surrounding air.

Although low-level spirit beast cores were disdained by Divine Spirit Realm experts, they could be exchanged for cultivation resources at specialized trading posts.

"You want it?"

Mu Yuan took out a spirit beast core from his embrace and walked towards Zhang Long.

"Hmm? It's actually the core of a mid-level spirit beast, the White Spirit Ape King!"

"I didn't expect you to encounter the White Spirit Ape King that escaped earlier. You truly have incredible luck."

As Zhang Long watched in surprise, Mu Yuan had already appeared before him, handing over the spirit beast core.

"Good, you know your place."

Zhang Long snatched the spirit beast core with one hand, while the other impatiently slapped towards Mu Yuan's head.

However, just as his palm was about to touch the spirit beast core, Mu Yuan's calm expression instantly turned frigid.

The next moment.

Mu Yuan moved.

Spiritual power surged from his body.

His fist, wrapped in golden spiritual power, shot out fiercely.

Aside from not using the Sword Drawing Art and Divine Veins, this punch was comparable to Mu Yuan's ultimate attack.

With the amplification of three Dragon Elephant phantom images and the God Elephant Suppressing Prison Force's spiritual power, the formidable strength emanating from his fist was enough to crush any Spiritual Movement Realm expert.

The moment it appeared, it brought with it a sense of whistling wind and shaking space.

Zhang Long was stunned, even feeling as if he were hallucinating.

He couldn't help but blink his eyes, confirming what he saw.

The guy in front of him was indeed only at the middle stage of the Spiritual Movement Realm!

And he hadn't used any aura concealment!

But, in the next second, Mu Yuan's fist landed directly on his chest.

Then.

There was no then.

Because, just like the Fire Spirit Wolf he had shattered with his fist earlier, his body exploded.

Subsequently, in a deathly silence, Mu Yuan retracted his fist.

"Sorry, I suddenly don't want to give it anymore."

Mu Yuan's voice was very calm.

But to Zhao Hu, it sounded like a demon.

He watched the scene with a look of horror.

He never expected the brash young man he saw to suddenly attack, and to be so ruthless when he did, even more so than adventurers like them who came from mercenary backgrounds.

"Kid, you're looking for death?"

Zhao Hu's body trembled slightly, his gloomy expression becoming vaguely ferocious.

"As a mercenary, haven't you ever experienced being capsized in a ditch?"

Mu Yuan glanced at him indifferently.

Hearing this, Zhao Hu immediately burst into furious laughter, staring at Mu Yuan with icy eyes:

"Kid from Northern Spiritual Academy, you've certainly made me see you in a new light. You know what will happen next, don't you?"

Mu Yuan shrugged indifferently.

The atmosphere in the field became somewhat delicate.

"Zhao Hu, stand down."

Just then, the veiled woman finally spoke.

Mu Yuan glanced at her, then pointed at Zhao Hu and said:

"If you have the same intention as him, wanting to avenge your lackey, then make your move."

The veiled woman was Liu Wan'er.

To be honest, she truly hadn't expected Mu Yuan, who was in the middle stage of the Spiritual Movement Realm, to unleash such formidable power, capable of defeating Zhang Long, a mercenary who was at the peak of the late stage of the Spiritual Movement Realm.

Moreover, Zhang Long didn't even have the slightest chance to fight back.

It was conceivable that the spiritual power Mu Yuan unleashed was infinitely close to the Spirit Wheel Realm.

Who could achieve this?

At least, Liu Wan'er had never seen it before!

However.

Liu Wan'er's pretty face still carried a hint of pride.
