Dragon King Hall's Legend-Chapter 1748: The One Who Harmed and the Surging Winds and Clouds
Although it was hard to believe, after Mu Jinyu displayed the techniques of Flight through the Sky and Miniature Universe, Chu Huannian finally accepted that Mu Jinyu advanced to the Void Breaking Realm earlier than himself.
"The one who injured you, even if not in the Unity Realm Stage, would be in the Void Breaking Realm. You know my combat strength. I’m now in the Void Breaking Realm; I don’t even fear the Life and Death Realm battles. You needn’t be afraid of anything."
Mu Jinyu said to Chu Huannian in a deep voice.
"Okay."
Chu Huannian hesitated after hearing Mu Jinyu’s words, and finally nodded, "The one who injured me is an intermediate student at the academy named Ji Fei, whose cultivation has been stuck in the Middle Stage of the Void Breaking Realm for years. He believes his bloodline concentration might be the issue. He’s been looking for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to enhance his bloodline concentration. He found out from the academy that some of us obtained Heavenly Mysterious Ice Spirit Marrow in the Secret Realm and has tried every possible way to get it from me."
"Initially, he intended to purchase it, but after many refusals, he must have been enraged, ultimately forcing me to agree to a battle with him."
"After I lost the battle and failed to produce the Heavenly Mysterious Ice Spirit Marrow, the teacher responsible for the fight checked my Qiankun Ring and confirmed there was indeed no Heavenly Mysterious Ice Spirit Marrow, only then did he let it go."
Chu Huannian paused and looked up at Mu Jinyu, saying, "Afterwards, he probably set his sights on you, but since you’re not in Dongyue Mansion, he has no way against you. I’ve been worried recently about whether he might cause trouble for Little Yun and Ah-Xui through Teacher Chen!"
"After all, the day we went to the Treasure Pavilion and Scripture Pavilion together, many people noticed it. He might suspect I handed them the so-called Heavenly Mysterious Ice Spirit Marrow!"
"Now that you’ve returned to Dongyue Mansion, he’s probably watching you too."
Chu Huannian cautioned.
Mu Jinyu, hearing this, considered a question, "Since you were injured, what about Chen Qinglian who acted with us earlier? Did anything happen to her?"
"I haven’t contacted her, so I’m not clear about this issue." Chu Huannian shook her head.
Originally, Chu Huannian quietly focused on cultivation, occasionally attending lectures given by Spirit Clan bloodline mentors.
After being injured by Ji Fei a dozen days ago, she mostly stayed here recovering, not daring to seek Teacher Chen, lest it remind them of Ji Xiaoyun and Chu Huaxiu.
Mu Jinyu, hearing this, nodded, dismissing thoughts about Chen Qinglian.
Given that she followed Mu Jinyu and Chu Huannian and benefited considerably without much input, if trouble befalls her now, it might be a destined calamity.
Yet, it’s likely she was also injured like Chu Huannian; Dongyue Mansion forbids mortal injuries, except for life or death battles!
"We should head to Teacher Chen’s place first to check on Ah-Xui and Little Yun. After viewing them, we can hunt down Ji Fei for repayment." Mu Jinyu suggested.
"Alright." Chu Huannian agreed.
She also longed to see her sister but feared involving them, knowing their status in Dongyue Mansion was just that of maids, even if they belonged to a mentor, their standing wasn’t high.
If an advanced student took advantage of Teacher Chen’s absence to barge into the cave residence to mistreat them, there’s no guarantee they’d face post-act punishment.
Now with Mu Jinyu back, his prowess leaping to the First Layer of the Void Breaking Realm, his combat power could challenge Life and Death Realm early stage experts, thus lessening these fears.
Subsequently, Mu Jinyu departed the wooden cabin with Chu Huannian, heading toward Teacher Chen’s mountain!
"So, you did return!"
Suddenly, a sharp-faced, monkey-like youth who’d been monitoring Chu Huannian’s home for long noticed Mu Jinyu’s emergence, his eyes lighting up as he sprang forth to intercept them.
"Senior Ji has directed that upon your return you must come to follow orders, so come with me now!"
The youth spoke arrogantly to Mu Jinyu.
"Hmm?!"
Mu Jinyu halted, eyeing the fellow who sprang up to block him, baffled.
Upon hearing "Senior Ji," he realized this must be Ji Fei’s sent man watching their premises.
Waiting for him to return, demanding he meet to hand over the Heavenly Mysterious Ice Spirit Marrow?
After all, to them, he was merely a young cultivator in the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Mu Jinyu sneered, pushing the sharp-faced youth aside, saying, "Ji Fei, right? I will confront him later for justice, clear the way, or if he’s impatient, he can come find me, I won’t mind sending him down the path!"
"You?!"
Shoved aside, the youth nearly fell flat, standing up again in anger, glaring at Mu Jinyu’s retreating figure.
He was astonished, wasn’t Mu Jinyu just a kid in the Divinity Transformation Realm?
How did he push him away so easily, leaving him defenseless?
He couldn’t discern Mu Jinyu’s cultivation either?
Hmm...probably careless of him, failing to dodge, hence was thrust aside.
The youth quickly rationalized, glaring hatefully at Mu Jinyu and Chu Huannian’s disappearing path, then grabbed his identity plaque, messaging Senior Ji Fei.
Notifying Mu Jinyu’s return and recounting his rebellious words!
Dongyue Mansion.
A high-end villa-style residence.
This was for intermediate students, far superior to beginner students joining Dongyue Mansion.
Currently, a youth, his face smooth yet attractive, was in cross-legged meditation, surrounded by blood energy.
This was the very Ji Fei who injured Chu Huannian!
"Beep beep..."
The identity plaque beside Ji Fei suddenly vibrated, interrupting his cultivation.
Divine Sense entered the plaque, rapidly absorbing the transmitted information.
"Finally back?"
"I’ve waited for you long!"
Ji Fei’s eyes were cold, yet faintly expectant; his cross-legged figure twisted, dissipating like smoke.
This anticipation led him himself to hunt down Mu Jinyu, demanding the Heavenly Mysterious Ice Spirit Marrow!
...
Mu Jinyu had no idea Ji Fei acted swiftly, now pursuing them. Meanwhile, he and Chu Huannian were heading towards Teacher Chen’s mountain where Ji Xiaoyun and others were.
They conversed about the appearance of the Earth Emperor Relic near Cangyan State.
"Many academy tutors have left for it, Teacher Chen too, dunno about Ah-Xui and Little Yun’s situation, hope nothing’s amiss?"
Chu Huannian’s tone carried worry.
She felt jittery, sensing ongoing trouble nearby, unsettling her.
Yet this whimsy of essence blood didn’t resonate like kinship sacrifice; she guessed it connected to Chu Huannian’s side?
Yet, heavily injured as she was, with surrounding eyes on her, she doubted her guesses’ fidelity, avoiding action that might mislead and indeed harm her sister.
"Hope all’s well; Teacher Chen’s mountain has many Restrictions, unauthorized entry isn’t feasible, though whether we could enter is uncertain."
Mu Jinyu expressed this concern.
