Mu Jinyu broke through the Mountain Protection Array, standing high in the air, looking down at the expression of panic and helplessness on the disciples and elders within the Boundless Sect below, his demeanor indifferent.
Then, his gaze slowly swept over the mountain base of the Boundless Sect, not seeing the figure of Lei Yongshou, but discovering that suddenly there was the sound of escaping motion near the Boundless Sect's mountain gate.
"Trying to escape?"
Mu Jinyu's eyes flashed, realizing that Lei Yongshou hadn't stayed for a death battle when he broke their Boundless Sect's Mountain Protection Array, but took the opportunity to escape.
He uttered a light shout, his foot treading, and ripples appeared in the void beneath him, spreading outward.
And Mu Jinyu's figure instantly disappeared from the eyes of the terrified people of the Boundless Sect.
"Why did he leave?"
The true disciple of Lei Yongshou guarding outside the Sect Leader's secret chamber saw this scene, feeling relieved.
They didn't know that their master, who had asked them to stand guard first, had already slipped away when the opportunity arose, and Mu Jinyu had gone to pursue and kill Lei Yongshou.
"Buzz!!"
Mu Jinyu instantly treaded into the void, catching up with the fleeing Lei Yongshou, "Where do you think you're going!"
With an angry shout, the Dragon Spear suddenly appeared in his hand, like a burst of electric light, zipping towards Lei Yongshou!
"Boom!!"
The sound of breaking through the air came, causing the void to shatter.
Lei Yongshou felt the deadly pursuit from behind, cursing the plight of a fallen worthy bullied by dogs, wanting to use his movement technique to shift his position, but found himself unable to escape the lock of the sharp attack from behind.
He looked back, seeing the Dragon Spear zooming in, and exclaimed in shock: "Heaven-reaching Spiritual Treasure?"
He never expected that Mu Jinyu, whom they had almost killed when the three Great Sect Masters surrounded him with Heaven-reaching Spiritual Treasures, now possessed such a treasure himself.
He believed that Mu Jinyu definitely did not have this Heaven-reaching Spiritual Treasure before, or else he would have used it in such a crisis for self-preservation.
Which means he obtained the Heaven-reaching Spiritual Treasure afterward?
Instantly, jealousy surged in Lei Yongshou's heart.
After all, his Heaven-reaching Spiritual Treasure, the Five Beasts Spirit Fan was almost destroyed by Mu Jinyu, so how could he, after such a narrow escape, obtain such a treasure?
"Ha!!"
Though filled with unwillingness, Lei Yongshou knew the crisis at hand and dared not be careless, quickly taking out the Five Beasts Spirit Fan and waving it forward.
"Whoosh!!"
Suddenly, the Five-Colored Divine Light fiercely surged, seemingly transforming into a Five-Colored Divine Bird, striking straight at the Dragon Spear!
Yet upon careful observation, it could be found that within the Five-Colored Divine Light, the red color was noticeably weaker than the other four colors.
This was caused by the Phoenix Feathers in the Five Beasts Spirit Fan being consumed by the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend.
Lei Yongshou had yet to repair it.
"Boom!!"
The divine bird formed by the Five-Colored Divine Light collided directly with the incoming Dragon Spear.
Without any surprises, the illusory Five-Colored Divine Bird couldn't even slightly block the fierce advance of the Dragon Spear and was immediately destroyed by the spear light!
"Screech!!"
After the Dragon Spear demolished the Five-Colored Divine Bird, its power remained undiminished, continuing to charge towards Lei Yongshou!
"Ah!"
The speed of the Dragon Spear was too fast, the collapse of the Five-Colored Divine Bird was too swift, Lei Yongshou was caught off-guard, having no ability to resist, watching the Dragon Spear fly in to pierce through his head, his heart secretly cried: 'It's the end for me.'
"Tap!"
Yet, at this moment of certain death.
With a "buzz" sound, spatial ripples rose beside Lei Yongshou, followed by a figure in a black robe appearing, raising a hand to grasp the Dragon Spear.
"Screech!"
A discordant sound, the sleeve part of the black robe man's arm was destroyed, revealing a dry, stick-like arm, which couldn't withstand the sharpness of the spear either, splitting the skin as blood gushed out crazily.
"What a Divine Spear!"
Even in slightly embarrassing circumstances, injured by the Dragon Spear, the man in the black robe spoke, his tone showing no pain or shock, instead, he made a commendation.
Though the Dragon Spear caused him some distress when seized, evoking its sharpness, the majority of its power was ultimately subdued, unable to continue threatening Lei Yongshou.
"Thank you, Friend, for rescuing me."
Lei Yongshou, believing he was doomed, hadn't expected the timely intervention that saved him, and once his fear settled, he expressed his gratitude eagerly.
"Who are you?"
Mu Jinyu looked at the man in the black robe with suspicion, coldly asking.
He could sense an indistinct aura from the other party, knowing their cultivation was certainly in the late stage of the Unity Realm and higher than Wu Xiongfei's, thus not immediately attacking.
"You needn't care who I am, just know that I come from the Heavenly Palace."
The man in the black robe raised his head, his face concealed by the robe, which seemed to have restrictions preventing probing, making Mu Jinyu unable to see his face, he said indifferently.
"Heavenly Palace?!"
Upon hearing these words, Mu Jinyu's pupils instinctively contracted slightly, even his heartbeat sped up a little, but he quickly calmed himself.
These people indeed came out.
Mu Jinyu felt slightly angered inside but managed to suppress his emotions, asking, "Might I know what the senior's purpose is here, and why prevent my revenge?!"
"Are you questioning me?" The man in the black robe did not answer Mu Jinyu's question, instead coldly answering back.
"You can think of it like that." Mu Jinyu's tone turned cold at his words, calmly stating.
At this point, he no longer feared the Heavenly Palace, if things were to turn sour, it wouldn't matter!
The man in the black robe chuckled, not further agitating, calmly remarked: "I came to stop you because this matter has escalated too much, the impact is already very adverse, the Palace Master asks you to cease this rabble-rousing, as it ends here, we will negotiate compensation and explanation with the sects and noble families who previously acted against you."
Lei Yongshou felt great relief upon hearing the man's words and quickly added: "Yes, yes, it was our mistake before, but I was merely confused and deceived by that old ghost Wu, our Boundless Sect will certainly compensate Friend Mu afterward."
In his opinion, since the powers of the Heavenly Palace intervened to end the conflict, Mu Jinyu couldn't stir the trouble further; this matter was bound to conclude here.
As for compensation, in reality, it's just talk, once things settle, he could drag it out, endlessly avoiding giving Mu Jinyu anything. Does the other party dare to offend the Heavenly Palace at the cost of action against him?
"Oh? Asking me to stop now?" Mu Jinyu raised an eyebrow, utterly ignoring Lei Yongshou's words, saying: "Then why didn't you intervene when those sects and noble families were chasing me, stopping them then?"
The man in the black robe answered calmly: "Because we weren't aware of this matter at that time, now we are. If they were still pursuing you, I would equally have made them stop."
"Is that really so?" Mu Jinyu found the man's explanation exceedingly laughable.
Then, containing his murderous intent, he calmly said: "Alright, I'll stop now, return my Magic Treasure to me!"
The man in the black robe shook his head, saying: "Can't return it yet, because this is a never-before-seen Heaven-reaching Spiritual Treasure, exceptionally fierce, I must take it back to the Heavenly Palace for the Palace Master to determine if there is any issue, if problematic it must be destroyed, but if alright, I'll return it to you eventually."
