In the blink of an eye, while everyone in the Ancient Wilderness City was horrified by Xiao Yan Xiao Yan his group, they had already arrived outside the Mu Manor in the north of the city.
The once bustling square was now deserted, and the scene from three days ago was repeating itself on the outskirts of the square.
A large crowd had gathered there, all eyes fixed on Xiao Yan and his group who were now in the square, as if they were waiting for a good show to unfold.
In the center of the square, Xiao Yan and his companions slowly landed. Their gazes swept over the crowd around the square, and they couldn't help but frown slightly.
As if he had thought of something, Luo Jin raised an eyebrow, turned his gaze to Xiao Yan, and said with a playful smile:
"Haha, Brother Yan Xiao, it seems your departure is quite a big deal for the people of the Wilderness. So many people have gathered here to see you off. In this Ancient Wilderness City, perhaps only Elder Luo would receive such a show of respect! Hahahaha!"
Upon hearing this, the people around him laughed in agreement. Although they all knew the reason, no one was willing to say more.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled helplessly and shook his head. He could imagine that just walking such a short distance would lead to him being discussed and gossiped about countless times. If he stayed any longer, he really didn't know if he would be able to face people again.
"You left with so many people watching you go, and you look so gloomy. You should know that I haven't even gotten this kind of treatment yet."
Seeing Xiao Yan shake his head and sigh, Luo Jin jokingly spoke up again, eliciting laughter from the people around him, while also earning a big eye roll from Xiao Yan.
"Since you want this kind of treatment, it's simple. Just state your identity in front of everyone. I think even that old devil Mu Han will have to treat you with utmost respect."
Upon hearing this, Luo Jing pursed her lips and remained silent. Gu Li and Chi Lin stared intently at Luo Jin with their old, cloudy eyes, their gazes gleaming with a sharp light.
On the other hand, Qin Zhong, standing to the side, frowned and stared at the group of people in front of him, his mind filled with suspicion.
Of the seven people at this moment, he was the only one who didn't know Luo Jin's identity.
As the group chatted and laughed, the gates of the Mu Manor were reopened, and an elderly man with a limp walked out slowly, his gaze fixed solemnly on Xiao Yan and his group of seven in the center of the square.
This person was none other than Mu Han.
When Mu Han appeared, the atmosphere in the room instantly became tense, as if a great battle was about to break out, creating a sense of impending doom.
As Mu Han appeared, the crowd outside the square couldn't help but whisper among themselves, their eyes filled with pity as they looked at Mu Han.
After all, he was once one of the Twin Hegemons of the Wilderness, and his past glory was unmatched by many in the entire alliance. The fact that he could cultivate both formation techniques and cultivation to such a high level is enough to prove his achievements.
It's a pity that all these glorious achievements are rendered worthless in front of this seemingly young junior. His life's fame and fortune are like Yan Xiao's brilliance.
After the battle three days ago, Mu Han's face still looked pale, and his once deep pupils now appeared ashen. His aura was also not what it used to be.
Mu Han leaned on a cane with his right hand, and no one helped him. He didn't want anyone to help him either, and for that reason, he had killed many people in the manor.
Although Mu Manor still appeared glorious on the surface, in reality, its people were either dead or had fled.
Mu Han was dressed in plain clothes, his former glory was gone, and upon closer inspection, his left shoulder, where his left arm used to be, was now empty.
Upon seeing this, the crowd outside couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. Mu Han had become a one-armed old man, yet even so, no one dared to underestimate him.
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Moreover, Mu Han is not at that level yet. Although his aura appears weak, anyone can tell that if it weren't for Xiao Yan and his group, even if everyone present attacked, they wouldn't be a match for him alone.
With his eyes fixed on Zheng Lishen and Xiao Yan's group in the center of the square, Mu Han's gray eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan. Although his face was calm, there was an endless surge of resentment and killing intent deep in his pupils.
"May I ask what brings you gentlemen here?"
Mu Han remained calm, staring at Xiao Yan in front of him, and asked in a flat tone.
His flat tone was devoid of any emotion, and his aged face showed no change in expression whatsoever. It was as if he were facing a group of complete strangers, appearing unusually calm.
But the moment those words were spoken, the crowd outside could feel that the atmosphere in this place was becoming increasingly heavy.
It felt as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on people's chests, causing the breathing of those watching to quicken slightly.
Sensing the changes in the surrounding world, Xiao Yan and the others couldn't help but frown slightly; this strange atmosphere was actually affecting them.
"Hmph! Playing tricks!"
Chi Lin was already short-tempered, and this strange sense of oppression caused his anger to explode. He immediately shouted and took half a step forward. The aura of Eight-Star Half-Emperor swept out, and at the same time, the strange atmosphere that had been pressing on everyone's chests was also broken.
The eerie atmosphere shattered instantly, but Mu Han remained unmoved, glancing at Chi Lin with a calm expression, like an old man in his twilight years.
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, exchanged a glance with Luo Jin and Gu Li beside him, and after a moment, he looked at Mu Han Xiao Yan said in a calm tone:
" Master Mu, we're not here to cause you trouble today; we just want to borrow this teleportation array from you."
As Xiao Yan finished speaking, a slight ripple appeared on Mu Han's usually calm and composed face.
The Xiao Yan before him had severely injured him just three days ago, even severing his arm. Yet, only three days later, he brazenly came to ask for his help. Faced with this dramatic scene, he couldn't help but want to mock him, but Mu Han had no such mood at the moment.
Mu Han's gray eyes, fixed on Xiao Yan, remained calm and undisturbed. At least, on the surface, Mu Han appeared to be a recluse, oblivious to the ways of the world.
After a moment, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Mu Han finally spoke slowly.
"Oh..."
A soft, enigmatic chuckle caused Xiao Yan's expression to change slightly. His eyes narrowed, flashing with a cold light, as he stared at Mu Han, who seemed oblivious as he met his gaze.
An invisible pressure emanated from the air, causing the expressions of those watching from outside to change slightly. Under that invisible pressure, their breathing became somewhat rapid again.
"The old man is now too weak to handle this formation with just one arm. You should find someone else."
Mu Han's expression was calm as he slowly spoke, word by word. As soon as he finished speaking, his frail body turned slowly with the help of his cane, intending to retreat into the Mu Manor.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly. Chi Lin, behind him, immediately let out another cold snort, waved his sleeve, and a streak of Dou Qi shot towards Mu Han. At the same time, he coldly shouted:
"Hmph! Mu Han, as far as I know, formations rely on Spiritual Strength. You're clearly just deliberately making things difficult for me!"
As Chi Lin's angry rebuke escaped his Chi Lin, Mu Han, who had just turned around, suddenly stopped in his tracks. His right hand, which was holding a cane, gripped the black iron cane tightly in his palm. The cane struck the ground, instantly shattering the bluestone slab at Mu Han's feet into a pile of powder.
"Bang!"
At the same time, a loud bang suddenly sounded behind Mu Han, and the stream of Dou Qi emitted by Chi Lin actually exploded in the void.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan and the others in the arena couldn't help but change their expressions slightly. Judging from the attack just now, Mu Han's Spiritual Strength was obviously much stronger than it had been three days ago. His Spiritual Strength at the Realm of Unity was probably already close to the Late Realm of Unity.
Judging from this, in the three days following his severe injury at the hands of Xiao Yan, Mu Han must have entered a state of spiritual tranquility, which explains the significant increase in his Spiritual Strength in such a short time.
Xiao Yan remained silent, unsure whether this could be considered a blessing in disguise.
