The main reason Xiao Chen didn't kill Zhu Mujue was because he wasn't confident. This didn't mean that Xiao Chen and the other three couldn't kill Zhu Mujue, but that Xiao Chen wasn't confident that he could kill Zhu Mujue in a short time.
As early as when everyone had just appeared, the disciples of the main branch had already sent out a distress signal. Presumably, the people of the main branch would soon arrive, and before they arrived, Xiao Chen did not have absolute confidence in killing Zhu Mujue.
Without absolute confidence, acting rashly could very well lead to being surrounded. In addition, Zhu Mujue wasn't their target this time, and Bai Qiuyue had already successfully killed him. As such, there was no need to put himself in danger for Zhu Mujue. Moreover, Zhu Mujue had already admitted defeat, so it didn't matter whether he was killed or not.
After watching Xiao Chen's group leave, Zhu Mujue walked over to Bai Qiuyue's corpse. He looked down at Bai Qiuyue's corpse from above and exhaled a turbid breath. He could already imagine what kind of huge waves would rise in the Heavenly Yin Taiyang Sect after the Heavenly Yin Valley trial.
While Zhu Mujue was feeling emotional, the first group of main faction disciples hurried over. However, they were clearly a step too late. By the time they arrived, Xiao Chen's group had already left.
They also stared at Bai Qiu Yue's body in shock. Not long after, groups of disciples from the main faction hurried back. The dozen or so candidates from the main faction, like Zhu Mujue, were currently gathered around Bai Qiu Yue's body in silence.
She was already dead, so there was no point in saying anything. After a long while, someone finally broke the silence. "What do we do now?"
"Don't provoke the Sacred Palace faction for now. Let senior brother Bai Qiuran make his own decision after we leave the Heavenly Eagle Valley."
Now that Bai Qiuyue was dead, their plan to kill Xiao Chen in the Heavenly Yin Valley had obviously failed. Moreover, the Sacred Palace faction had proven that they were not pushovers. If this continued, they would suffer even more casualties. Therefore, it was best to wait until they left the Heavenly Yin Valley and wait for Bai Qiuran to make her own decisions.
None of the candidates objected to this suggestion. To be honest, they had no intention of continuing to hunt down the Sacred Palace faction.
After keeping Bai Qiuyue's corpse, Zhu Mujue spoke up indifferently. "Since Bai Qiuyue is dead, I shall take my leave. Farewell everyone."
He had no intention of getting involved with Bai Qiuran's group any longer. Since Bai Qiuyue was dead, then the debt of gratitude from before was naturally written off.
Although the crowd was displeased by Zhu Mujue's words, they did not say anything. After all, Zhu Mujue was not a member of Bai Qiuran's faction. Now that he wanted to leave, they could not stop him.
Without any hesitation, Zhu Mujue turned around and left as soon as he finished speaking. At the same time, twenty to thirty disciples from the main faction also left behind Zhu Mujue.
Watching Zhu Mujue's departing figure, one of the candidates sighed softly. "Sigh, it seems that things have really gotten out of hand this time."
One could imagine what kind of shock Bai Qiuyue's death would bring to the Righteous Yin Yang Sect.
Although they had anticipated the future, no one would have thought that at this moment, in a city unknown distance away from the Righteous Yin Yang Sect.
This city was called Whitemoon City, and it was the city where the Bai Clan resided. Whitemoon City was very large, and at the center of the city was a magnificent mansion. This was where the Bai Clan resided.
At this moment, the main hall of the Bai Clan was filled with Saint Realm experts. There were dozens of them, and among them were three quasi-Saint great sovereigns.
These people were all experts of the Bai Clan. At the center of the hall, a guard knelt on the ground in horror. Seeing this, one of the quasi-Saint great sovereigns on the main seat shouted.
"What did you say just now? Repeat it for everyone present."
"Re … Lord, it's … it's Second Young Master's … Second Young Master's life talisman, it's … it's burned …"
Faced with this question, the guard's forehead was drenched in cold sweat as he stammered.
A life talisman was a type of talisman unique to the Central World. After refining it, it could record the condition of a person's body. If the person was injured, the talisman would begin to burn. The more it burned, the more serious the injury would be. If the entire talisman was burned, there was only one possibility — the person had died.
In the Central World, all major factions would refine life talismans for their core members. The Bai Clan was naturally no exception. Just now, Bai Qiuyue's life talisman had been burned. Everyone present knew what this meant.
Hearing this, the experts of the Bai Clan were shocked. The quasi-Saint great sovereign who had spoken just now was the current head of the Bai Clan, the father of the two brothers, Bai Qiuran and Bai Qiuyue. His name was Bai Mushuang.
With the death of his son, Bai Mushuang's expression had turned extremely gloomy. He swept his gaze across the crowd, and then, without any sign, he shot forth a palm strike. Before everyone's eyes, he directly killed the kneeling guard.
He was smashed into a pile of flesh and blood. Seeing Bai Mushuang attack, no one said anything. They knew that the guard's death was somewhat unjust. After all, he was only responsible for guarding the life talisman and had nothing to do with Bai Qiuyue's death. Bai Mushuang had only killed him to vent his anger. But so what?
After killing the guard, Bai Mushuang coldly said to the middle-aged man on his left, "Second Brother, I'm afraid you'll have to make a trip to the Yin Yang Sect in person. No matter who it is, I'll make them pay the price for killing a member of the Bai Clan."
The middle-aged man was also a quasi-Saint. He was Bai Mushuang's second brother and was called Bai Mulin.
On the other side of Bai Mushuang was another middle-aged man. He was Bai Mushuang's third brother. The three brothers could be said to be the current pillars of the Bai Clan. Of course, apart from the three of them, the Bai Clan also had an ancestor. He was the father of the three brothers and the grandfather of Bai Qiuran and Bai Qiuyue.
However, because the Bai Clan's Ancestor was already advanced in age and the three brothers had already attained the Quasi Saint Realm, the Bai Clan's Ancestor had retreated behind the scenes many years ago and cultivated wholeheartedly. Most of the time, he only played a symbolic role with the intention of deterring the other great clans and powers. As for the specific matters of the Bai Clan, it was all decided by Bai Mushuang and the other two brothers, and the Bai Clan's Ancestor never asked about it.
Hearing his elder brother's words, killing intent flashed through Bai Mulin's eyes. He then said indifferently, "Don't worry, Elder Brother. I'll capture him personally and make him pay with his life for Qiuyue."
