Chapter 50: The Death of Blood Butcher (Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Favorites)
After leaving the cave, Mu Yuan encountered Master Mo and the others.
"Mu Yuan, Mu Chen might be in trouble. Come with us."
On the way to find Mu Chen, Master Mo briefly explained the situation.
"So, he ran into Blood Butcher."
Hearing the name Blood Butcher, Mu Yuan actually felt relieved.
Because in the original plot, that guy was eventually toyed to death by Mu Chen.
"Don't worry, Master Mo. Little Mu came out of the Spiritual Road. Anyone who underestimates him will pay the price."
Mu Yuan's words made Master Mo and the others roll their eyes.
Are these two brothers?
However, just as Mu Yuan said, Mu Chen was unharmed.
When they saw Mu Chen, he was only a little pale and otherwise fine.
Master Mo and the others breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and said:
"Where is that Blood Butcher? He must have grown a bear's heart and a leopard's guts to dare attack students from our Northern Spiritual Academy."
"That guy is dead."
Mu Chen dryly chuckled, pointing to the grass in front of them.
"This..."
Master Mo and Master Xi looked at Blood Butcher's corpse, then at Mu Chen in disbelief.
Just then, a sound of breaking wind could be heard.
Liu Ming, along with Liu Mu Bai, Liu Yang, and a large group of people, arrived at high speed.
Mu Yuan saw clear astonishment in the eyes of Liu Mu Bai and Liu Yang, and suddenly understood.
He remembered that Mu Chen hadn't encountered Blood Butcher for no reason.
"Blood Butcher?"
Liu Ming naturally saw Blood Butcher's corpse as well. With a wave of his hand, two subordinates immediately went to Blood Butcher's body, crouched down, and began to search.
After a while, they shook their heads at Liu Ming.
Seeing this, Liu Ming looked at Mu Chen and said with a smile:
"Mu Chen, have you seen anything on Blood Butcher?"
"What thing?"
Mu Chen shook his head and said very simply:
"I didn't kill this Blood Butcher. Just now, an old man saw me being chased by Blood Butcher, then he stepped in and killed Blood Butcher. After that, he searched around for a bit."
"Perhaps the old man took the items."
Liu Ming's expression immediately turned cold. Then, he tried to make his expression gentler and smiled again:
"Mu Chen, don't joke like this. If you really took something, hand it over to me, and I will reward you handsomely."
"Brother Yuan, I didn't take anything from him."
Mu Chen still shook his head. The young man's face looked exceptionally serious and honest.
"You!"
Liu Ming gritted his teeth, his eyes suddenly becoming much gloomier. However, with Master Mo present, he didn't dare to do anything to Mu Chen.
That Master Mo was a genuine Divine Spirit Realm expert, and he also held the position of chief instructor at the Northern Spiritual Academy. Even their Liu Domain wouldn't dare to offend him lightly.
"If you want the items, keep them. But be careful not to choke yourself with some things!"
Liu Ming shot Mu Chen a dark look, suppressing the anger in his heart. With a wave of his hand, he turned and left with Liu Mu Bai and the others.
"Alright, let's head back to the camp first," Master Mo said with a faint smile.
"Little Mu, you really are something," Mu Yuan said, patting Mu Chen's shoulder with a half-smile.
"Brother Yuan, you flatter me," Mu Chen also smiled.
Between brothers, there was no need for many words; a single glance conveyed understanding.
Upon returning to the camp, Tang Qian'er was relieved to see Mu Chen safe and sound. Her eyes reddened as she said:
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
If it weren't for her, Mu Chen wouldn't have encountered Blood Butcher and fallen into such a dangerous situation.
The news of Blood Butcher's death also spread as Master Mo and the others returned.
Immediately, many students were stunned, their eyes filled with surprise as they stared at Mu Chen, who looked innocent and bewildered.
Mu Chen smiled.
Liu Ming left with his men the day after Blood Butcher was killed.
However, the gloomy gaze he cast at Mu Chen before leaving made Mu Chen realize that this matter was likely far from over.
"When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll cover it with earth!"
Mu Yuan told Mu Chen to relax.
Liu Ming and his group wouldn't dare to make a move outside the Northern Spiritual Plains.
The half-month of cultivation had finally come to an end.
Today was the day to judge the results of this cultivation, so the camp's atmosphere was exceptionally lively.
Tang Qian'er stood among the East Courtyard students, her beautiful eyes shining.
"Mu Yuan, don't forget the bet between us?"
She was also very curious about the results Mu Chen and she could achieve during this period, and whether she could surpass Mu Yuan.
"Heh heh..."
Mu Yuan smiled faintly.
After half a month, his gains were not small, and his cultivation had completely stabilized at the late stage of the Spiritual Movement Realm.
Not only him, but other students from the Northern Spiritual Academy also appeared slightly leaner compared to half a month ago, clearly indicating that this cultivation had been quite effective.
"The cultivation in the Northern Spiritual Plains officially ends today. Now it's time to evaluate the results. Every team, bring out the Spirit Beast Essences you've obtained during this period. We will record them and use them to judge your performance."
Master Mo nodded to a recorder beside him and said, "Begin."
"Deng Lei's team, three low-grade mid-stage Spirit Beast Essences, eight low-grade early-stage Spirit Beast Essences..."
"Liu Yun's team, two low-grade mid-stage Spirit Beast Essences..."
"..."
The camp became exceptionally lively.
Before the recorder, excited students continuously stepped forward and presented all the spoils their teams had gathered during this period.
Soon, it was Tang Qian'er and Mu Chen's turn.
Tang Qian'er walked up to the recorder, then reached into her embrace and pulled out a series of glowing orbs. The Spirit Beast Essences within these orbs flickered with a dazzling luster.
"Thirty-five low-grade mid-stage Spirit Beast Essences."
"Fifteen low-grade late-stage Spirit Beast Essences."
Upon hearing the recorder's voice, a genuine murmur erupted from the surroundings.
Low-grade late-stage Spirit Beasts were comparable to those in the late stage of the Spiritual Movement Realm.
They usually avoided such Spirit Beasts from afar.
Tang Qian'er felt a slight sense of pride, then pulled out another glowing orb that resembled flames from her embrace.
"This is... the Fire Spirit Ape King's Essence?!"
All the surrounding students instantly fell silent.
Even the recorder was stunned for a long time, clearly not expecting an essence of this level to be presented by a student.
That was an essence from a mid-grade late-stage Spirit Beast.
With this, who could possibly compare?
"Heh heh..."
At this moment, Liu Mu Bai chuckled softly and walked forward, pulling out numerous Spirit Beast Essences from his embrace.
Among the many glowing orbs, two, one cyan and one deep yellow, emitted astonishing Spiritual Energy fluctuations.
These two Spirit Beast Essences had actually reached the late stage of the Spirit Wheel Realm!
Whoosh!
The surroundings immediately erupted into a clamor, and disbelieving gazes fixed on Liu Mu Bai. They had actually hunted two Spirit Beasts that had reached the late stage of the Spirit Wheel Realm?
"You... you cheated!"
Tang Qian'er's pretty face turned slightly pale, and she immediately said angrily. Liu Mu Bai's strength was indeed good.
However, if he could hunt Spirit Beasts at the late stage of the Spirit Wheel Realm, it was absolutely impossible.
