"Hmm?!"
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu say that they had caused a flood at the Dragon King Temple, a trace of doubt flashed through Zhao Chenlong's eyes, as he wondered if Mu Jinyu truly had a past with Purple Gold Mountain.
Yet something felt off. Although he was only recently accepted as a disciple by the Master of Purple Gold Mountain, his father was indeed the Peak Master of one of the main peaks there. Under such circumstances, it was unlikely that he wouldn't recognize someone with ties to Purple Gold Mountain.
Even though he felt that Mu Jinyu was most likely deceiving him to avoid trouble with Purple Gold Mountain, he couldn't shake the foreboding feeling in his heart, considering Lin Qiaoxia's Divine Transformation Realm cultivation.
"Who... are you?!"
Zhao Chenlong suddenly remembered that he still didn't know Lin Qiaoxia's identity, and with so many people here, he still couldn't discern their cultivation levels. Full of doubt and anxiety, he shouted in inquiry.
Mu Jinyu smiled and said, "Dragon King Hall."
"Dra... Dragon King Hall?!"
Hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Zhao Chenlong's face turned ashen with fear. His followers behind him were also terrified, their faces drained of color, trembling as they echoed the words. For them, descendants of Purple Gold Mountain, these were incredibly taboo words.
Half a year ago, when the Master of Purple Gold Mountain had targeted the Dragon King Hall, and the Seven Great Families of Jiangnan that had initially pledged allegiance to the Dragon King Hall defected to Purple Gold Mountain, such large moves could be hidden from outsiders but not from those within Purple Gold Mountain.
How could they not be aware of the enmity between Purple Gold Mountain and the Dragon King Hall?
Who would have thought that today they would run into people from the Dragon King Hall?
At this moment, Zhao Chenlong recalled what Mu Jinyu had just said: he was about to head to Purple Gold Mountain, and unexpectedly, they had encountered them first...
Does this mean the Dragon King Hall is ready to settle old scores with Purple Gold Mountain?
If so, all seven of these people here are probably at the Divine Transformation Realm, right?!
The more Zhao Chenlong thought, the more panicked he became, trembling as he said, "What... what do you want?!"
"What do I want?" Mu Jinyu shrugged and smiled, "What could I want? Didn't you just say that if we dared to take action against you in Jinling, and if we could leave Jinling, you would take my wife's surname?"
"I..." Zhao Chenlong said with a face as if he had swallowed a big black rat whole, "I just lost my temper, please don't hold it against me..."
"Phew..."
At this moment, Yin Li had finished all the ice cream in the dessert shop and still felt upset. She flew out to stand on Mu Jinyu's shoulder, glaring angrily at Zhao Chenlong and his followers. She asked Mu Jinyu, "They wanted to grab me just now, can I kill them directly?"
When they returned to Huaxia, Mu Jinyu had already told Yin Li not to act as she did in the Kunlun Ruins, where she would unleash her anger by directly killing whenever she encountered something unpleasant. She should talk to him first before making a decision.
Yin Li didn't really want to listen to him, but when Mu Jinyu mentioned the Silkworm King, she had no choice but to comply.
Otherwise, with her temperament, just now as she was enjoying her food, suddenly someone interfered and even tried to grab her away; how could she have merely injured that person's hand and let it go just like that?
"No."
Mu Jinyu shook his head and said, "We'll deal with it later. There are too many people here now, and you can't act rashly."
"Alright." Yin Li said with pent-up frustration and then ran toward Lin Qiaoxia for comfort.
Mu Jinyu withdrew his gaze, looked at Zhao Chenlong, and smiled, "Of course, I won't hold it against you. Let's move on, take us around Purple Gold Mountain. It's been over a year, I wonder how those old friends are doing now."
Mu Jinyu's words made Zhao Chenlong's heart quiver uncontrollably. He knew if he brought Mu Jinyu back to Purple Gold Mountain, trouble was going to happen. He wanted to resist; he did not want to be a traitor leading them to Purple Gold Mountain.
However, when his gaze met Mu Jinyu's, an indescribable and terrifying oppressive feeling instantly struck his heart, suppressing any thought of resistance.
"Alright..."
Once he agreed with difficulty, that despair-inducing oppressive feeling disappeared immediately.
Zhao Chenlong sighed in relief, only to realize that his entire body was soaked in cold sweat, as if he had just been pulled from water.
"Let's go."
Mu Jinyu retracted his gaze from Zhao Chenlong, chuckled softly and said.
Zhao Chenlong trembled as he moved his legs, his eyes vacant and gray, like the walking dead, heading towards the door.
His followers also dared not flee on their own, fearing that Mu Jinyu would immediately kill them, so they followed Zhao Chenlong, filled with endless fear, out of the dessert shop.
"There's no more ice cream here, we'll buy more for you when we get back, okay?"
Lin Qiaoxia, on the other hand, was still softly comforting Yin Li, who was crying and fussing about wanting ice cream.
Mu Jinyu glanced at Yin Li, his expression a mixture of helplessness and amusement.
Since her appearance, Yin Li hadn't acted very mature, nor extremely childish, but after coming to Huaxia and encountering ice cream, she indeed seemed like an ordinary child, playfully begging for treats.
"Just wait a bit. Once we finish our business, we'll let you eat as much as you want afterwards. You can eat endlessly, 24 hours a day. No problem at all."
Mu Jinyu walked over, persuading Yin Li.
"Hmph."
Yin Li, seeing that they weren't allowing her more ice cream, felt quite troubled but didn't run away in a huff. She instead gave a soft snort and snuggled back into Mu Jinyu's embrace.
"Let's go." Mu Jinyu smiled slightly, said to Lin Qiaoxia and the others, and then left the dessert shop heading toward Purple Gold Mountain.
Over ten minutes later.
Under Zhao Chenlong's guidance, Mu Jinyu and his group of seven arrived in front of Purple Gold Mountain.
'With the new Mountain Protection Array set by Master, can these people break through it?' Zhao Chenlong was both anxious and panicked, secretly hoping his Master would emerge to slay Mu Jinyu's group, yet also worried that he would be expelled from Purple Gold Mountain for leading the way.
"Boom!"
While Zhao Chenlong was lost in his thoughts, Mu Jinyu didn't need to make a move. He merely manipulated the surrounding Heaven and Earth Laws, causing the entire Mountain Protection Array of Purple Gold Mountain to instantly collapse and shatter!
The sky was filled with brilliance, countless sparkles scattered like meteors all around, creating a terrifying scene.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
With the Mountain Protection Array broken, such commotion naturally alerted everyone cultivating within Purple Gold Mountain.
Within moments, dozens of cultivators from the Divine Transformation Realm flew out from the various peaks, arriving and hovering in front of the mountain gate, glaring angrily at Mu Jinyu's group!
"Who are you?! How dare you destroy our Purple Gold Mountain's Mountain Protection Array?!"
"Chenlong?! Did you bring them?!"
"You brat, trying to betray your masters and ancestors?!"
Various middle-aged men clad in Taoist robes, at first furiously confronted Mu Jinyu, then noticed Zhao Chenlong hiding to the side, and couldn't help but curse at him in anger.
"Enough with the nonsense, call out the Wu Family, Chen Family, Li Family, Zheng Family, Zhou Family, Qian Family, Zhu Family, and the people from the Medicine Alliance!"
Mu Jinyu stood with hands behind his back, an indifferent expression on his face, unwilling to waste words, directly demanding them to call out the former Seven Great Families of Jiangnan and the people from the Medicine Alliance.
