Although there was no official ranking and it was all based on rumors, Mu Rong should have been one of the top three Extreme Realm experts among the younger generation in the universe. Lu Yin could beat him with certainty. Ye Xingchen's strength was the only unknown, but according to what the Ten Arbiter had said back then, Mu Rong should have surpassed him.
Given an opponent like that, this outcome wasn't unacceptable.
Changing the tide of battle single-handedly—that was the power of the strong.
The White Night Clan, the Wen family, Second Grade Hall, and the other factions withdrew. Mu Rong didn't pursue them, and Liu Xiaoyun and the others had no strength left to give chase. They let the enemy leave, and in the end, Kang Mountain remained under Sword Sect's control.
With Mu Rong's arrival, Kang Mountain would most likely belong to Sword Sect from then on.
Liu Xiaoyun found Liu Shaoqiu and helped him up. "Are your injuries serious?"
Liu Shaoqiu shook his head. "I'm fine. I just hurt my shoulder. A few days' rest should be enough."
Liu Xiaoyun nodded and helped Liu Shaoqiu look toward Mu Rong.
The others also studied Mu Rong curiously. Not everyone had the chance to see an Absolute Expert. To Extreme Realm cultivators, Mu Rong was an Absolute Expert. Once he broke through to the Exploration Realm, he would be among the top experts on the Top 100 Battle Ranking. Most people would never encounter someone like him in their entire lives.
You Ye'er was especially curious and wanted to strike up a conversation with Mu Rong, but he sat alone atop Kang Mountain, his face cold. He had only come to fulfill his promise to Sword Sect and had no interest in anything else, leaving You Ye'er disappointed.
