"From now on, there will be no place for Jin Tai and the others in the ancient forest!" Mu Yuanzi looked at the green sea in the distance that had been scorched black by the fire. His right hand opened slightly in his sleeve, and the countless vines that trapped the Divine Wind Staff quickly retracted and burrowed into the ground with a swoosh.
As soon as the Divine Wind Staff was freed, Wu Feng called it back into his hand with a flash of silver light. He looked at Mu Yuanzi in disbelief. He didn't expect that the other party didn't covet such a precious treasure. This made him calm down from his madness and start to reflect on his previous actions.
"I hope that you and your father will remember your promise." Mu Yuanzi waved his hand, indicating that they should leave the forest immediately.
"May I know your name, senior?" Wang Qing asked with a cupped fist salute.
"I have always been aloof from worldly affairs. There is no need to say my name." Mu Yuanzi waved his hand again, indicating that they should leave.
Since the other party didn't want to say it, the father and son didn't dare to ask. They bowed together and quickly turned into flowing lights and left. The group of fearful subordinates finally heaved a sigh of relief. The capriciousness of the situation had indeed frightened them. They had originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to pursue and attack, but a terrifying expert had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and in the blink of an eye, everyone was on the verge of death. Since they were lucky enough to escape, they naturally did not dare to stay any longer. They quickly followed the father and son and quickly left.
From this day on, the news that there was a terrifying existence in the ancient forest quickly spread throughout the Three Realms. It was no longer a secret.
The two hiding in the ancient language tree looked at each other. They didn't expect things to end like this. The most depressed was Yue Qianchou. They had caused such a ruckus in the ancient forest, but this Old Man Mu had let them all go. He didn't even kill a single one. It was so disappointing.
The two watching through the gaps in the leaves suddenly froze. They saw Mu Yuanzi look straight at them. The Great Bright Wheel immediately said, "Not good! He's found us. Let's go quickly. "
Yue Qianchou nodded in agreement. Just as the two of them were about to leave, they discovered that Mu Yuanzi had shifted his gaze away as if he hadn't seen them at all. With Mu Yuanzi's cultivation, it was impossible that he hadn't noticed them since he had already noticed them. The two of them looked at each other in dismay, then turned around to look at Mu Yuanzi warily, not knowing what he was up to.
"Bang!" A streak of light shot out from the ground, and the wooden staff returned to Mu Yuanzi's hand. Mu Yuanzi raised the staff high into the air, and a dazzling azure light erupted from the tip of the staff. It suddenly shot toward the ancient forest that was full of devastation. In the blink of an eye, a refreshing fragrance filled the air, and everyone who smelled it felt refreshed.
Under the illumination of the green light, countless green sprouts began to emerge from the cracked ground, growing at a visible speed. Green grass, flowers, green vines, and trees were all uprooted from the ground. In just a moment, the forest in front of him seemed to have returned to its original state, without any traces of fighting.
The wood spirits in the forest all walked out and kowtowed to Mu Yuanzi in the sky.
"Old Mu! What is the meaning of this? "An angry shout rang out, startling everyone.
A golden light and a white light flashed. Jin Tai and Bai Qi appeared together. Jin Tai angrily pointed at Mu Yuanzi and shouted, "Old Mu! We came to lend you a hand out of goodwill, but you left us in the lurch. Now, you even let Wang Qing and his son leave. What are your intentions? "
"Lend me a hand?" Mu Yuanzi coldly snorted, and the azure light at the tip of the staff suddenly retracted. He raised the staff and asked, "Who lured them here, causing the countless living beings in my ancient forest to suffer such a disaster? I didn't even find you to settle the debt, but you came to accuse me instead. "
"Nonsense!" Jin Tai waved his sleeve, and without a change in expression, he flatly denied, "It was clearly them who chased us, and we had nowhere else to run. Now, it's us who lured them here. If you want to incriminate us, you can always find a pretext!"
"Who set my ancient forest on fire?" Mu Yuanzi suddenly shouted, and his cold eyes stared at Jin Tai.
Was he discovered? Jin Tai was shocked, but on the surface, he sneered and said, "Is there a need to say it? The fire was naturally set by Wang Qing and his son to make it easier for them to find us. The two of us didn't even have time to run for our lives, so you can't be suspecting that we set the fire, right? "
Mu Yuanzi instantly started laughing from extreme rage. If he hadn't found out from Yue Qianchou that this fellow was using someone else to kill him, then he would really have been deceived by Mu Yuanzi. However, his heart was like a clear mirror now, so how could he fall for this trick of his?
"Jin Tai! Do you really think you did it flawlessly? Do you think this old man has eyes but can't see? You dare to use a mere trick to kill someone with a borrowed knife in front of me? You must be tired of living! "Mu Yuanzi shouted angrily, and a majestic killing intent covered the sky.
Bai Qi cursed inwardly. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have come back with Jin Tai. Little did he know that Jin Tai was also panicking. It was obvious that the matter had been exposed, and if he really angered this old man, it would be impossible for him to escape. He immediately said in a deep voice, "Old Man Mu, don't act recklessly … Since you insist on believing this, I have nothing to say. From now on, you and I will part ways and have nothing to do with each other. Farewell!"
He spoke righteously as if he had suffered a great grievance. He angrily cupped his hands at Mu Yuanzi and wanted to leave with Bai Qi. Mu Yuanzi snorted coldly and said, "Stop! You want to leave just like this? "
The two of them turned pale with fright when they heard this. Jin Tai gnashed his teeth and said, "Old Man Mu, don't go too far. Could it be that you want to attack me?"
"If I don't punish you, then wouldn't all the creatures in my ancient forest have died in vain?" Mu Yuanzi's tone was indifferent, but the air around him had already begun to distort. He was about to attack.
"Wait!" Jin Tai hurriedly raised his palm to stop him. He said anxiously and angrily, "Old Man Mu, you ungrateful villain. Let's not talk about the fact that the creatures in your ancient forest were not killed by me. Even if they died because of me, so what? Let's not talk about the fact that we are both part of the Five Great Spirits of Heaven and Earth. Do you still remember when you asked me to help you maintain the peace of the ancient forest? After I agreed, I have helped you maintain it until now. After so many years, have I ever asked you for the slightest benefit? Have I ever let you down in any way? If you still have the slightest bit of conscience, you should let me leave safely! "
"It's not that you don't want to ask for benefits from me, it's just that you can't find me. Back then, when the Myriad Swords Demon Monarch was trying to kill you, you sent a large number of people here to find me. Do you think I don't know?"
Mu Yuanzi sneered disdainfully and said with a cold expression, "This old man has never owed anyone a favor. Do you really think that you have never benefited from me? Do you really think that when you were in imminent danger, you coincidentally found the entrance to the Realm of the Divine Ruins? Do you really think that in the Realm of the Divine Ruins, you coincidentally found the Phoenix Plume? Do you really think that by burning the Phoenix Plume, you can obtain the Spirit Transforming Smoke by chance? Then your luck is too good … Why don't you think that if you didn't have the Spirit Transforming Smoke, would you be a match for the Myriad Swords Demon Monarch? If it wasn't for the Myriad Swords Demon Monarch being poisoned by the Spirit Transforming Smoke, I'm afraid you would have died somewhere long ago. Would you still be standing here and bargaining with this old man? "
Scenes of the past appeared in front of his eyes. Jin Tai had felt that the process of obtaining the Spirit Transforming Smoke was a little strange, but because he couldn't figure it out at the time, he could only treat it as his good luck. Now that he heard these words, he immediately understood the reason. He immediately said dumbfoundedly, "Back then, it was you who secretly guided me?" Bai Qi also had a face of shock.
The two people hiding in the Ancient Language Tree were shocked when they heard this. They didn't think that there was such a big secret behind the Myriad Swords Demon Monarch's death. Da Minglun glanced at Yue Qianchou. They probably had to thank this guy for hearing this secret.
Yue Qianchou sighed endlessly. It seemed that the Myriad Swords Demon Monarch had died because of the Spirit Transforming Smoke, and it seemed that the person who changed the fate of the Three Realms was this old fellow who hid his strength. He wondered how the Myriad Swords Demon Monarch would feel after his death.
Mu Yuanzi said indifferently, "Do you still think that I owe you?"
"Uh … Of course! Of course you still owe me. " Jin Tai could be said to be throwing caution to the wind in order to survive. He argued irrationally, "Back then, even if you secretly guided me to obtain the Spirit Transforming Smoke, that was only to return the favor you owed me. What about the many years of favors after that? As long as you let us leave safely today, from now on, our grudges will be written off, and no one will owe the other anything. How about that? "
"Only a shameless person could speak such shameless words. If you didn't even have your life all those years ago, then how could you have everything you have today? Fine! I won't make a fuss about it with a shameless person like you, and I'll let you go today. However … "Mu Yuanzi's gaze suddenly stared at Bai Qi, and he said," I can let you go, but he has to receive punishment! "
Bai Qi was shocked. "Senior! What does this have to do with me? "
"You're one of the main culprits, so how could you have nothing to do with this matter?" Mu Yuanzi shouted fiercely, and the imposing aura emanating from his entire body seemed to condense into a material form. Rumble! The air rumbled as it smashed over with the force to collapse mountains.
At this point, Jin Tai couldn't care less about whether Bai Qi was an accomplice or not. He was afraid of being implicated, so he flashed to the side.
On the other hand, Bai Qi had been on guard against Mu Yuanzi since a long time ago. When he saw that Mu Yuanzi had suddenly turned hostile, Bai Qi flipped his palm within his sleeve, and the Obsidian Netherlight Mirror erupted with peerless black light. Clang! Clang! It instantly dispersed the imposing aura that was smashing towards him. Using this opportunity, Bai Qi teleported and disappeared, hurriedly escaping.
"Where do you think you're going?!" Mu Yuanzi shouted fiercely, and his cold gaze swept through the air. The wooden staff in his hand slashed through the air, and like a meteor chasing after the moon, it directly struck the teleporting Bai Qi out of thin air. Bai Qi violently spat out a mouthful of blood, and his entire body slammed into the ground.
This scene caused Jin Tai's heart to palpitate. He didn't expect that even with Bai Qi's cultivation, Old Man Mu would be able to injure him in a single move.
However, before Bai Qi could even land on the ground, the wooden staff shot towards him like a soul-chasing arrow. With Bai Qi's speed, he actually couldn't shake it off, and he could only desperately try to preserve his life. He flipped over and swung his fists, and countless layers of fist shadows overlapped like raging waves to obstruct the incoming wooden staff. The wooden staff suddenly erupted with a dazzling azure brilliance, and it effortlessly broke through the countless fist shadows and went straight for Bai Qi. Bai Qi was scared out of his wits, and before he could dodge, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. The wooden staff had already pierced through his chest, and he was directly nailed to the ground …
