Mu Chen's Upcoming Opportunity

Chapter 41: Mu Chen's Approaching Fortune (Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Collection)

Whoosh!

Mu Yuan's thumb pushed up the sword guard on the hilt of his sword.

A flash of sword light.

Another spiritual beast fell in a pool of blood.

The surrounding spiritual beasts immediately scattered like startled birds, fleeing in all directions.

This human before them was too terrifying!

One sword strike per beast!

Humans had always been prey to them, but when did humans start harvesting them like cutting straw?

The previously noisy dense forest had fallen silent, so quiet that even the chirping of insects and the calls of beasts had vanished.

"Forget it, it's getting dark, time to head back!"

Mu Yuan looked up at the sky, then hurried towards the direction of the camp.

As he neared the camp, he encountered Mu Chen, Tang Qian'er, and Mo Ling, among others.

They were currently immersed in some kind of excitement.

"Brother Yuan, you don't know what we..."

A student began to describe vividly.

Although the fierce battle in the valley today had been perilous, the thrill that followed had left them inexplicably excited.

Mu Yuan, however, remained calm about the dangerous events they described.

"Mu Yuan, how many spiritual beast spirits did you harvest today? Don't tell me you lose too badly."

Tang Qian'er, noticing the bloodstains on Mu Yuan, asked curiously.

It seemed he had gone through several bloody battles today.

"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."

Mu Yuan smiled faintly, and suddenly noticed Mu Chen frowning.

Following Mu Chen's gaze, Mu Yuan saw over a dozen figures at the entrance of the forest ahead.

These youths were led by Liu Yang, clearly students from the West Courtyard.

"Brother Yuan, it's Liu Yang and Chen Tong. They're coming for you."

Mu Chen quickly said.

Chen Tong?

The guy ranked third on the Northern Spiritual Academy's Heaven Tier overall list?

Just as Mu Yuan was contemplating, Chen Tong and his group, with unfriendly expressions, approached and blocked Mu Yuan and his companions.

"Chen Tong, what do you want?"

Mo Ling asked, frowning.

"Heh, nothing much, just planning to have a little exchange with him. Mo Ling, this has nothing to do with you. I suggest you don't get involved either. If you offend Brother Liu, you might not fare well."

Chen Tong said with a smile.

The Brother Liu mentioned by Chen Tong was, of course, Liu Mu Bai.

Mo Ling's expression also shifted slightly upon hearing this, clearly quite wary of Liu Mu Bai.

"Boring."

Let alone Chen Tong, even Liu Mu Bai was not someone Mu Yuan considered a threat with his current strength.

He really didn't want to bother with such insignificant fools.

"What did you say?"

Mu Yuan's dismissive attitude instantly infuriated Chen Tong.

"You brat, you're too arrogant!"

As the shout fell, a fierce glint flashed across Chen Tong's face. He reached out, aiming directly for Mu Yuan's collar.

Whoosh!

But the moment he lunged at Mu Yuan, a cold light flashed in Mu Yuan's eyes. His long sword, still stained with spiritual beast blood, was already drawn, its icy tip pressed against Chen Tong's throat.

The chill on his throat caused Chen Tong's pupils to contract violently. He shivered and gritted out, "What do you want?"

"I'll only say this once: don't mess with me!"

Mu Yuan's eyes were filled with killing intent.

Even Liu Yang and the other youths were intimidated by the terrifying killing intent, and for a moment, they dared not speak.

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly, Master Mo's appearance broke the stalemate.

"Master Mo!"

Mo Ling and the others quickly bowed upon seeing him.

Mu Yuan also sheathed his long sword.

"Master Mo, you have to be my justice!"

Chen Tong's face was flushed red as he glared at Mu Yuan.

"Do you really think I didn't see anything?"

Master Mo glanced indifferently at Chen Tong.

Chen Tong froze, sheepishly rubbed his nose, then shot Mu Yuan a hateful look before shamefully leading his men away.

Mu Yuan and the others continued towards the camp.

"Where did this kid get so much killing intent after just one trip out? How many spiritual beasts did he kill?"

Master Mo stared at Mu Yuan's retreating back, his heart churning slightly.

With his keen eyesight, he could naturally tell that the blood on Mu Yuan was from spiritual beasts.

The Mu brothers were more monstrous than each other.

Mu Chen, who had single-handedly lured away the Fire Spirit Ape King, had already impressed him with his tactic of using a tiger to swallow a wolf.

Mu Yuan was even more exaggerated; despite being only at the mid-Spiritual Movement Realm, he had ventured into the Northern Spiritual Plains alone to cultivate and had killed quite a few spiritual beasts.

The group passed through the forest and returned to the camp.

Suddenly, dozens of figures rushed over from the West Courtyard's camp.

These figures were surrounded by an aura of malevolence, clearly not ordinary individuals.

"People from the Liu Domain? What are they doing here?"

Seeing the badges on their chests, Master Mo's brow furrowed, and he slowly walked towards the group.

"Brother Yuan!"

Mu Chen looked at Mu Yuan, wondering why people from the Liu Domain were coming to the Northern Spiritual Plains.

"Let's go take a look too."

Mu Yuan smiled.

He didn't remember the specific details of the original plot very clearly, but he was certain about a few key events.

For example, it was in the Northern Spiritual Plains that Mu Chen obtained clues about the Nine Nether Sparrow.

"Little Mu, your opportunity is about to arrive."

Mu Yuan muttered to himself as he looked at Mu Chen.

"Why is Brother Yuan smiling at me like that?"

Mu Chen scratched his head.

A middle-aged man among them saw Master Mo and cupped his fists with a smile:

"You must be Master Mo from the Northern Spiritual Academy, right? I am Liu Ming from the Liu Domain. I've come uninvited and apologize for any disturbance, I hope you can forgive us."

"Oh, so it's Liu Ming, the Third Master of the Liu Domain."

Master Mo smiled faintly upon hearing this.

"So he's that Liu Ming."

Mu Yuan was no stranger to the name Liu Ming, whether from the novel or from his father.

Liu Ming was somewhat gaunt, with a pair of hands like eagle claws, dry and powerful.

This man was the younger brother of Liu Qingtian, the Domain Lord of the Liu Domain. His status in the Mu Region was similar to Uncle Zhou's, serving as one of Liu Qingtian's trusted aides.

However, his strength was not as great as Uncle Zhou's; he was only at the late Spirit Wheel Realm, but he was still a rather well-known figure in the Northern Spiritual Territory.

"What is this about?"

Master Mo's expression showed some displeasure.

This was a place for students to cultivate, and the dense malevolence emanating from these people would disturb the students' practice.

"Please forgive us, Master Mo. A batch of our Liu Domain's important supplies was intercepted by the Blood Butcher Group, and the leader of the Blood Butcher Group has fled into the Northern Spiritual Plains. My Third Uncle is here to apprehend him. Knowing that Liu Yang and I are here, he came to take a look, and has no other intentions."

Behind Liu Ming, Liu Mu Bai said with a smile.

"Blood Butcher?"

Master Mo frowned.

The Blood Butcher was a notorious villain in the Northern Spiritual Territory, having taken countless lives.

If any student from the Northern Spiritual Academy displeased him, he would not hesitate to act against them just because they were students.

"Yes. We actually came this time to remind Master Mo to let the students be careful. After all, that guy is a madman."

Liu Ming chuckled.

"Yes, that fellow is indeed a madman. If I were to encounter the Blood Butcher Group, I would definitely inform Master Mo immediately."

Mu Yuan let out a cold laugh.

Hearing this, Liu Ming paused for a moment, then gave a dry laugh.

"Little brother is quite confident!"

"Confidence stems from strength, unlike certain scoundrels who like to make moves behind people's backs, specifically sending their lackeys out."

Mu Yuan spoke softly, then muttered to himself again.

"That's right, only those who lack confidence in their own strength would resort to petty actions."

As soon as these words were spoken, someone's expression immediately turned grim.
