"Whoosh!"
The Eight Desolations Cauldron was activated, targeting the Master of Purple Gold Mountain, and instantly shot out like a cannonball.
"Boom!!"
The Eight Desolations Cauldron shimmered with radiant treasure light, suddenly striking out, instantly solidifying the void, and dismantling the stable order of the Heaven and Earth Laws around.
At this moment, in the eyes of the Master of Purple Gold Mountain, time seemed to freeze, everything in the world stood still, and the only thing moving was the Eight Desolations Cauldron flying directly towards him.
The world lost all color, except for the Eight Desolations Cauldron, which carried an overwhelming aura of supremacy over all under heaven, flying fiercely towards him.
'No!'
The Master of Purple Gold Mountain couldn't even change his expression, his heart roaring and struggling desperately to break free from this desperate captivity, but he couldn't manage it at all.
At this moment, he couldn't even move a finger!
"Boom!!"
The disciples of Purple Gold Mountain, rushing down from the mountain, saw their most revered Mountain Master completely without a trace of struggle or resistance, letting that treasure cauldron smash his body.
Like an iron ball falling from the sky, smashing a coal ball on the ground into dust.
Blood petals scattered across the sky, crimson and bleak, chilling their hearts!
"Master..."
"Mountain Master!"
They were filled with despair and disbelief, unable to imagine that the Master of Purple Gold Mountain would fall so easily.
Wasn't he just standing in the air, with one hand behind him, proudly letting Wen Rou and Gu Xiyan attack together?
How did he suddenly get torn apart just by someone throwing a single magic treasure?
"Pathetically weak."
Wen Rou's tone remained soft, but the words made the people of Purple Gold Mountain feel incredibly uncomfortable.
Gu Xiyan stopped activating her Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, also taken aback.
She couldn't believe the power of this Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure was so formidable, Wen Rou killed the Master of Purple Gold Mountain with a single strike.
Originally, she was worried whether she and Wen Rou, even joining forces, could defeat the opponent.
"We didn't prepare to extinguish all of you hastily, we're here today to settle old scores, merely targeting the upper echelons of Purple Gold Mountain and the original Seven Great Families of Jiangnan and Medicine Alliance..."
"If you want to leave Purple Gold Mountain quickly, then go find them out."
Mu Jinyu remained calm from beginning to end, never worried that the Master of Purple Gold Mountain would cause Wen Rou and the others any harm, so after his death, he didn't spare a glance, directly speaking to the stunned disciples of Purple Gold Mountain.
"The people from the Medicine Alliance and the Seven Great Families of Jiangnan?"
"They're the ones who caused the trouble, hurry and drag them all out!"
The disciples of Purple Gold Mountain quickly snapped out of their daze upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, then acting, they surged towards the mountain, eager to pull out these people.
No one thought to leave Purple Gold Mountain.
They didn't dare, fearing they might anger this group of Gods of Killing and end up leaving their lives behind.
Similarly, Mu Jinyu's words reminded them, providing a potential chance to redeem themselves, maybe even join Dragon King Hall.
Which would be far better than leaving Purple Gold Mountain like frightened stray dogs?
Mu Jinyu stood before the mountain gate without moving, but his Divine Sense unfurled, covering the whole Purple Gold Mountain to prevent anyone from escaping through the back hills, patiently waiting for news.
Soon, a group pressed a disheveled-haired woman down the mountain, their faces somewhat anxious and uneasy, stumbled before Mu Jinyu, softly saying, "Dragon Master, we found her..."
"Just one person?"
Mu Jinyu raised his brows, feeling as if they were joking with him?
His slight anger unleashed a terrifying aura, pressing everyone to the ground, trembling, almost crushed into meat paste.
As his aura retracted, everyone barely caught a breath, explanations eventually clarified for Mu Jinyu why there was only one person left from the large Seven Great Families of Jiangnan and Medicine Alliance.
It turned out, these people were lured by the Master of Purple Gold Mountain into betraying Dragon King Hall, after tricking Gu Xiyan and her team, naturally fled Jiangnan Province to Jinling seeking refuge under the Master of Purple Gold Mountain.
But Purple Gold Mountain was a person intolerant of deceit, much like how Zhao Chenlong was killed by Mu Jinyu upon their arrival, even though the Seven Great Families of Jiangnan and Medicine Alliance followed his orders to harm Dragon King Hall, but ultimately it was a betrayal, he certainly didn't keep them.
Thus, after betraying Dragon King Hall and hoping to join Purple Gold Mountain as promised, they received no benefits and were mostly slain by the Master of Purple Gold Mountain.
Only the Saintess of Medicine Alliance, Yao Bilian, remained due to her beauty, serving as a maid to the Master of Purple Gold Mountain.
Therefore, when they heard Mu Jinyu's order, returned to Purple Gold Mountain, sought out the Seven Great Families of Jiangnan and Medicine Alliance everywhere, hoping to redeem themselves, in the end realized, it was only Yao Bilian left.
Thus, they hesitantly pressed Yao Bilian down, worried about whether Mu Jinyu might just repeat history, claiming to spare them, but ultimately, they might end up wiped out...
"So that's it?"
Mu Jinyu, after listening to their explanations, despite feeling no direct ties between Seven Great Families and Medicine Alliance with them, had no reason to entirely trust their words.
Therefore, his Divine Sense extended, directly merging into everyone's Sea of Consciousness for a Soul Search, verifying their words.
Finally, he arrived at Yao Bilian's Sea of Consciousness, conducting a Soul Search.
Indeed, they didn't deceive him.
From Yao Bilian's memory, Mu Jinyu witnessed the brutal scene of the Seven Great Families of Jiangnan and Medicine Alliance, after betraying Dragon King Hall, joining Purple Gold Mountain only to face slaughter.
Yao Bilian saw her grandfather, Yao Liangbi, die right before her eyes and eventually became a maid to the murderers, enduring an unbearably miserable life.
"Hehehe..."
Mu Jinyu couldn't help but laugh coldly after seeing these memories, showing no sympathy for their miserable fate.
"Deserved what they got."
He said indifferently, serenely accepting the situation.
Though he regretted not personally dealing with the Seven Great Families and Medicine Alliance, he realized he couldn't charge into the Underworld, pulling their souls out to reckon with them?
"Thud!"
At this moment, Yao Bilian struggled, breaking free from the few people holding her limbs, and knelt before Mu Jinyu with a thud, clutching his leg, crying and begging, "Dragon Master, I was wrong, please forgive me... I want to return to Dragon King Hall... I dare not do it again..."
She no longer wanted to live such a life, regretting her betrayal of Dragon King Hall, leading to her current existence worse than death.
"If only you knew the consequences then, why act recklessly?"
Mu Jinyu, listening to Yao Bilian's pleas about her miserable life over the past six months, remained unmoved, his expression chillingly cold.
He said indifferently, "How had Dragon King Hall wronged you?"
"You, the Medicine Alliance and those Seven Great Families, first tried plundering Spiritual Medicine from Yinlong Mountain, tried to kill me after I stopped you, I defeated you, forgave your wrongs, inviting you to join Dragon King Hall, yet how did you repay me?"
Feeling pained and guilty recalling how Gu Xiyan and Lin Qiaoxia almost died due to their betrayal, Mu Jinyu's expression turned cold, full of fear and self-blame, then kicked Yao Bilian away, turning towards Gu Xiyan and Lin Qiaoxia, and asked:
"Handle her yourselves as you see fit."
