Mu Shao'ai didn't expect the Blood Witch Clan to have this trick up their sleeve, and caught off guard, let the opponent successfully escape.
"Hmm?!"
His gaze sharpened and his expression darkened slightly. He didn't even bother speaking with Mu Jinyu, he stepped forward and vanished in an instant.
He went to track Jing Wang!
Jing Wang's threat was indeed significant. Today, with her eighth-level Hedao Realm cultivation, semi-devouring and semi-borrowing the power of the Ancestral Witch's Wraith, she managed to exert a cultivation near the first layer of the Void Breaking Realm.
If one allows her to enter the ninth layer of the Hedao Realm, or even truly step into the Void Breaking Realm.
That would indeed be disastrous.
At that time, if there's even one from the Blood Witch Clan left, it would certainly lead to catastrophic consequences!
Today he must not let her escape; evil must be eradicated!
Mu Jinyu saw his master intervening timely, but ultimately failing to keep Jing Wang, feeling both shocked and helpless.
If his master didn't have the intention of honing him, not acting until the last moment, Jing Wang probably wouldn't have had the chance to escape.
However, it's fortunate that now he steps forward to chase Jing Wang, with master's Void Breaking Realm cultivation, he should be able to catch her.
Mu Jinyu put away the Dragon Spear and Dragon Phoenix Cauldron, glanced at the Sword Scar Canyon, now wrecked and dilapidated as the formation shattered, deathly qi rushing to the sky, but saw nothing amiss, then said to Little Ice Silkworm:
"Can you take a look, is there any problem left here?"
Little Ice Silkworm scrutinized several times, then shook its little head, said: "No more."
"Alright."
Since there's no hidden danger, there's no need for them to stay down here any longer.
With a wave of his hand, Mu Jinyu left the canyon where the void had collapsed with Little Ice Silkworm.
The six Heavenly Palace Elders, after exchanging looks, also left here.
The Sword Scar Canyon that extended over a thousand feet long, because it contained the Dao Rhyme of a sword scar left from the past, wouldn't completely collapse in a short time. As Mu Jinyu and others left, the place returned to dead silence once again.
As for the myriad countless void cracks in the sky and earth, they would slowly heal over time, eventually mending completely.
After returning to the snow mountain, Mu Jinyu did not immediately leave.
Instead, he sat cross-legged on the snow mountain, practicing cultivation to recover the True Yuan he consumed in the previous battle, while waiting for his master to return.
His True Yuan was greatly depleted in that battle, but with the mystical little tree that continuously absorbs Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, he only needed a few minutes of rest to fully recover the consumed True Yuan.
However, the six Heavenly Palace Elders who did not engage much in combat with Jing Wang were still adjusting their breath.
Mu Jinyu having nothing much to do, let Little Ice Silkworm return to his embrace to continue cultivation, while he quietly contemplated the process of the earlier battle with Jing Wang, summing up experiences.
During his reflection process, Mu Jinyu thought of many ways he could instinctively respond better and save True Yuan in that battle.
This made him feel that he had gained significantly.
He had experienced no less than hundreds of battles, yet there were not many where he was evenly matched, barely holding an advantage, or being suppressed and disadvantaged.
Most of the time, he either completely crushed the opponents, making the enemy unable to lift their heads, or the opponent was so strong it was too hard for him to withstand.
This battle with Jing Wang, where he was suppressed and disadvantaged, was a rare experience.
"If you manage to escape this time, we will definitely have another battle next time, and you won't have the upper hand then." Mu Jinyu murmured to himself.
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, a white light flashed, and a lean figure appeared before Mu Jinyu's eyes.
It was Mu Shao'ai.
However, his expression was slightly unsightly at this moment.
"Master, how did it go?"
Seeing Mu Shao'ai's expression, Mu Jinyu basically knew the answer but still asked.
Mu Shao'ai shook his head and said: "I searched the entire Northern Region within this quarter-hour, but couldn't find the Blood Witch Clan's trace. If she hasn't hidden underground, then it's likely her teleportation array directly helped her escape the Northern Region."
Mu Jinyu frowned and said: "She likely wouldn't leave the Northern Region directly. Their Blood Witch Clan once made a Witch Oath, not exterminating the Witch Tribe and Barbarian Tribe, they will never leave the Northern Region, so she probably cannot leave."
Mu Shao'ai, after receiving this detail in Mu Jinyu's report, suddenly asked: "Who was it that made the Witch Oath?"
"It was just the Ancestral Witch's Wraith," Mu Jinyu replied.
Mu Shao'ai said: "But do you know, did his oath include himself? Or only his Blood Witch Clan descendants? Even if he included himself, did he make an oath to leave his wraith in the Northern Plains after death?"
Mu Jinyu became speechless immediately.
Mu Shao'ai continued: "Unless you are certain, the opponent may very well be using the power of the Ancestral Witch's Wraith to escape the Northern Plains."
Mu Jinyu sighed and said pensively: "Isn't it partly your fault, master? Had you acted earlier, she wouldn't have escaped. Now it's quite troublesome."
"Alright, alright..." Mu Shao'ai's face fell again upon hearing Mu Jinyu's complaint, frowning he said: "I underestimated that little witch, allowing her to escape. I understand you want to go home. You peacefully return home, I will handle the aftermath of this issue and won't let you continue to be delayed in the Kunlun Ruins."
"Alright, I will leave it to you, master." Mu Jinyu understood that Mu Shao'ai was going to personally hunt Jing Wang down, knowing that even if Jing Wang doesn't die immediately, she wouldn't stir up much trouble.
He can also peacefully return to Huaxia.
"By the way, before I leave, I want to first see the insights of Heavenly Palace's generational Heaven's Pride on the Transforming Dragon Platform."
Mu Jinyu suddenly remembered the improved and more effective "Dragon Transformation Scripture," thinking of his master's promise to let him personally understand and improve the "True Dragon Art," hence spoke.
"Hmm, I happened to bring it for you, take it."
Mu Shao'ai was about to leave to continue pursuing the last remnant of the Blood Witch Clan. Hearing Mu Jinyu's words, he halted momentarily, then threw a light-yellow jade slip to Mu Jinyu before stepping forward to teleport away.
To further expand the search range for Jing Wang's whereabouts!
As Mu Shao'ai left, the six Heavenly Palace Elders exchanged a look and bid farewell to Mu Jinyu, also leaving the snow mountain.
They were tasked not with safeguarding Mu Jinyu, acting as his bodyguards, but clearing out the remnants of the Blood Witch Clan.
Now the ordinary tribesmen of the Blood Witch Clan were dead, and Jing Wang, the last of the Ancestral Witch, was being pursued personally by the Master of Heavenly Palace, considering their task accomplished, they could leave.
After watching them leave, Mu Jinyu didn't hastily delve into the jade slip, as it would be time-consuming, he turned back to his original path to find and gather the Barbarian Tribe clans.
During the conversation with his master earlier, he suddenly had an idea.
Since the Blood Witch Clan made a vow, unless exterminating the Witch Tribe and Barbarian Tribe, they shall never leave the Northern Plains.
If he relocates the Barbarian Tribe from the Northern Plains, even out of the Northern Region...
If Jing Wang hasn't left the Northern Region and is hiding somewhere in the Northern Plains, could she be trapped there unable to escape?
