Having an idea is one thing, but putting it into practice is not so easy.
For the next few days, Chen Mu stayed in his room, perfecting his Chess Position Solver.
I practice the Heart-Burning Flame whenever I have free time, and the days fly by.
Nighttime, Treasure Arrival Peak, in the courtyard of the Mingye.
It has been seven days since Mingye entered the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion, and he has also attended classes in several of the main halls.
Within these grand halls, there were no experts in assassination or hiding. After much deliberation, she finally decided that the Spirit Martial Hall was the most suitable for her.
She had already gained the favor of a female elder in the Spirit Martial Hall, but Chen Mu had previously instructed her to decide which elder to be her master in half a month, so she had not yet formally become an apprentice.
She recently felt that the Spiritual Power barrier in her body was getting thinner and thinner, and it seemed that she would soon be able to break through to the True Spirit Realm. Therefore, she has been cultivating even more diligently lately, and whenever she has free time, she stays in the Spirit Gathering Array to cultivate.
With a loud bang!
Mingye, who was engrossed in cultivation, was startled awake and immediately realized that it was the sound of the defensive array in the courtyard being broken.
Instead of leaving the room, she leaped up, jumped to the window, and then climbed up the wooden window to the roof.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of the door being smashed repeatedly echoed from inside the room, finally stopping at the room where Mingye was cultivating.
The Mingye on the roof dared not linger, leaping several times along the rooftop before fleeing into the nearby woods.
"Haha! Don't even think about escaping!"
Just as Mingye was about to dart into the forest, a figure emerged from the window and flung a bright silver object at her.
With nowhere to gain leverage in mid-air and not knowing what it was, Mingye swung his dagger to defend himself.
With a clang!
Mingye struck the silver object, but when she saw that it was a box covered with chains, her expression immediately changed.
Wow!
A beam of light shot out from a silvery-white object and shone on Mingye, who found herself unable to move.
Hiss... Tap tap!
The silver-white box disintegrated, transforming into countless chains that pierced Mingye's back.
With a thud, Mingye fell to the ground, all his Spiritual Power gone.
"Heh heh, daring to betray your master, you'll soon know what the consequences will be!"
A thin, cold-looking man ran up to Mingye. He was Zhu Dou, a student from the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion whom Tuoba Ziying had invited to deal with Mingye.
Zhu Dou had been in the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion for eight years and had extensive connections. In just two days, he had thoroughly investigated the whereabouts and residences of Mingye and the other three.
"How dare you act so violently in the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion! Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the elders and expelled from the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion?"
Mingye glared angrily at Zhu Dou, staring intently at him.
"Even if you, a traitorous lackey, are reported to the Law Enforcement Hall, I have no fear!"
Besides, this is the middle of nowhere. Do you really think the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion knows everything? As long as I keep things clean, no one will know it was me."
Zhu Dou showed no fear; instead, his eyes gradually burned with desire as he looked at Mingye.
"Hehe, Ziying didn't tell me you were so stunningly beautiful!"
A chilling killing intent flashed in Mingye's eyes.
"If you dare touch me, you will suffer a thousand times worse than death!"
"Hmph! You still dare to threaten me at a time like this! You're asking for death!"
With a loud slap, Zhu Dou knocked Mingye to the ground.
Zhu Dou began to undress, unaware that a thin, round tube was pointing directly at him from afar.
The defensive array in Mingye's courtyard had just been broken when Chen Mu noticed it from afar.
As the one who set up the rune array, he habitually added a warning rune to the defensive rune array, but he never expected it to come in so useful.
After learning that Mingye was in trouble, Chen Mu immediately notified Chen Duo to go find A Huo, while he himself rushed over first.
Fortunately, they all lived on Treasure Arrival Peak, and the distance between the third-grade courtyard and the second-grade courtyard was not far, so he arrived at the scene in time without hesitating to use his Windwalking Talisman.
At this moment, the Rune Gun No. 2 in his hand was already loaded with his modified rune bullets. The enemy's appearance this time was too strange, and he dared not be careless in the slightest.
He was still observing the flow of Spiritual Power around him, looking for a better opportunity to fire.
But after being Mingye, Mingye felt a surge of heat in his blood and, following that impulse, fired a shot.
Bang!
The Rune Gun struck its target squarely, followed by a deafening explosion.
Chen Mu discovered that, perhaps because he had been cultivating the Heart-Burning Flame for the past two days, the shot he had just fired was subconsciously imbued with a wisp of the Heart-Burning Flame, which seemed to have a miraculous effect.
However, he did not let his guard down. Taking advantage of the cover of night, he activated the Invisibility Talisman and slowly approached Mingye.
Mingye had already gotten up from the ground. Chen Mu walked over to her and patted her on the shoulder.
" Mingye, it's me!"
Although there was some blood at the corner of Mingye's mouth, he didn't seem to be seriously injured, which relieved Chen Mu.
"My Spiritual Power is sealed, I must leave immediately!"
Upon seeing that it was Chen Mu, Mingye immediately became anxious.
Just then, a powerful Spiritual Power struck towards Chen Mu and the other person. Without hesitation, Chen Mu stood in front of Mingye and punched to meet the attack.
" Mighty Vajra Fist!"
With a loud bang, Chen Mu was forced back several steps, his blood rushing to his head, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Middle Stage of the True Spirit Realm?
Chen Mu was filled with doubt and surprise. This person's strength far surpassed that of the True Spirit Realm special recruits he had encountered in the ranking competition. Back then, he still had the Flying Thunder God Array to rely on, but now he had no chance against him at all.
"Walk!"
Chen Mu grabbed Mingye by the waist and fled with her at top speed!
"Hmph! Don't even think about leaving!"
Amidst the billowing dust, Zhu Dou burst forth. His upper garments were torn, and a gaping hole appeared in his chest, still oozing blood, making him look exceptionally pitiful.
Even now, he was still shaken. When the rune bullets came flying, he felt a wave of dizziness and didn't have time to use his Spiritual Power to defend himself. Fortunately, he also had a set of protective armor, which saved his life.
After being hit, he had actually regained his mobility long ago, but he was worried about being ambushed, so he didn't dare to make a move.
It wasn't until Chen Mu arrived at Mingye's side and sensed that the boy's Spiritual Power wasn't strong that he made his move.
He was at the peak of the Middle Stage of the True Spirit Realm, just a little bit away from entering the late stage, but he had been stuck there for more than a year.
The reason he agreed to help Tuoba Ziying was because Tuoba Ziying promised him a pill to aid in his breakthrough after the matter was settled.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the darkness, Zhu Dou, severely injured, desperately chased after Chen Mu and his companion.
Chen Mu wasn't good at speed to begin with, and running with Mingye in his arms slowed him down considerably, so Zhu Dou quickly caught up with him.
Die!
Zhu Dou, without anyone noticing, produced a large sword and slashed forward, creating a sharp blade of light that enveloped Chen Mu.
