Mu Jinyu shook his head slightly, deciding not to push for a higher realm even if he had enough cultivation resources for now.
First, let's improve the state of mind!
"Yes, I know what to do now, you don't need to worry."
Mu Jinyu turned to Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan, smiled softly, and said.
Wen Rou saw his expression soften considerably, his gaze seemingly less sharp and piercing, returning to his original demeanor, and she felt a wave of relief in her heart.
This is the Mu Jinyu she is familiar with.
Soon, they walked out of Yan Kingdom's territory, Wen Rou asked Jian Ruyan, "Sister Ruyan, which way to the Dayan Dynasty?"
Of course, Jian Ruyan knew the location of the Dayan Dynasty, just as she was about to confirm the direction, Mu Jinyu said: "We won't be going to the Dayan Dynasty first."
"Not going?"
Jian Ruyan and Wen Rou were both stunned by the words, turning their heads in confusion to look at Mu Jinyu.
Thinking Mu Jinyu was not planning to partake in the Hidden Dragon Conference?
Mu Jinyu answered, "Yes, there's still time, we should first head to Jiang Country, Wei Kingdom, Primordial Kingdom..."
Hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan found the names familiar, it seemed they had heard of them not long ago.
Soon, they remembered that these countries were where Hou Xin from the Barbarian Demon Sect, Su Chengyi from the Galaxy Sword Sect, and Feng Gaolang from the Xuanyuan Sect were based, back at the Prince's Mansion.
Mu Jinyu was planning to visit them after eliminating their sect heirs!
Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan momentarily looked at him with eyes full of concern, hoping he would not stir up more trouble!
Seeing their thoughts, Mu Jinyu said: "Rest assured, I won't annihilate their entire sects over that minor issue. I'm just worried these sects might trouble the Heavenly Sword Faction after these individuals die, so I'll pay them a visit one by one to warn them!"
Jian Ruyan understood his meaning upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words.
If Mu Jinyu didn't trouble these sects, once they learn that their top disciples died at his hands, they might come looking for trouble with the Heavenly Sword Faction.
Individual sects might not be able to do anything against the Heavenly Sword Faction, but if they united to demand an explanation, the Heavenly Sword Faction might not withstand it.
Indeed, the number of Heaven's Pride from other nations who died at Mu Jinyu's hands was quite substantial, at least several dozen!
Behind each of them stood a powerful sect, none weaker than the Heavenly Sword Faction, perhaps even stronger.
Mu Jinyu's concerns are not unfounded.
With his warnings, even if these sects desired to unite against the Heavenly Sword Faction, they would hesitate.
As long as Mu Jinyu is alive, they wouldn't be able to continuously ally against him.
Understanding all this, Jian Ruyan nodded solemnly, "Alright, so shall we head to Jiang Country first then? It's relatively closer."
"Okay." Mu Jinyu nodded.
Then, Mu Jinyu took out a Flying Shuttle Magic Treasure he acquired after defeating the Liuyun Sect, invited Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan aboard, fitted the Spirit Stone, and headed towards Jiang Country.
Half a day later.
The trio arrived in the territory of Jiang Country.
Under Jian Ruyan's guidance, they quickly located the position of the Barbarian Demon Sect.
From afar, the sect's mountain gate looked like a colossal demon, emanating dense Demonic Qi, overshadowing the concentration of Spiritual Energy.
A typical sect would never choose this mountain range as their gate; absorbing too much Demonic Qi recklessly could easily lead to Falling into Demon, no matter how dense the Spiritual Energy here may be.
But the Barbarian Demon Sect was different; they valued Spiritual Energy in cultivation but leaned more towards using Demonic Qi for Body Refining, hence would not abandon this Demon Mountain even if Jiang Country had better blessed lands with richer Spiritual Energy.
"Have we finally arrived?"
Mu Jinyu stood at the forefront of the Flying Shuttle, gazing at the Demon Mountain with its towering inferno of demon flames, and murmured softly.
Then, he turned back to look at Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan, asking: "Should we visit peacefully to inform them of Hou Xin's demise or directly confront them?"
Jian Ruyan glanced at him, "Is a peaceful visit useful? As soon as you mention Hou Xin's death, they'll want to fight you to the end, just confront them, save time."
"Alright." Mu Jinyu chuckled.
Then, taking a step forward, he leaped from the Flying Shuttle, heading straight for Barbarian Demon Mountain!
Reaching mid-air, he felt an invisible Qi Force blocking his advance, knowing it was the Mountain Protection Array's Protective Light Shield of Barbarian Demon Sect.
"Ha!"
Mu Jinyu let out a brief shout, forming a Fist Seal, as if embracing a giant mountain, and fiercely struck towards the void below!
"Boom!!"
Immediately, a thunderous roar resounded across a thousand miles!
Then, a layer of pitch-black light shield appeared beneath Mu Jinyu.
This was the real protective light shield, previously hidden.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
As Mu Jinyu increased his strength, the defensive light shield could no longer hold, cracks appeared and spread like a spider web in all directions!
In an instant, it covered the entire defensive light shield, then with a loud boom, the enormous shield collapsed completely!
The strength of the Barbarian Demon Sect was not much better than the Blood Sword Sect's, and Mu Jinyu could easily break the Blood Sword Sect's defenses, even learned their sect's Unique Skill after destroying them, transforming the Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Technique into Dragon Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture!
His strength advanced considerably!
Breaking the Defensive Array with a single punch was effortlessly done!
"Who is it?!"
As the Mountain Protection Array broke, the whole Barbarian Demon Sect was alarmed, their Fanxu Realm Supreme Elder soared skyward, standing afar, eyes warily watching Mu Jinyu and his group.
They could discern Mu Jinyu's powerful strength.
"Who are you, and why did you break our Barbarian Demon Sect's Mountain Protection Array without cause?"
Finally, their Supreme Elder couldn't hold back and questioned him.
Mu Jinyu said indifferently, "I am Mu Jinyu, you probably haven't heard of my name, but from now on, you should remember it."
The elders of the Barbarian Demon Sect did not speak, their eyes displeased, waiting for more from Mu Jinyu.
Mu Jinyu continued, "Does your sect have a disciple named... Hou Xin?"
"Hmm?!"
The elders of the Barbarian Demon Sect, hearing Mu Jinyu's words, all had slightly changed expressions, "What about Hou Xin?!"
"He's our sect's foremost Heaven's Pride, what have you done to him?"
They weren't fools; from Mu Jinyu's initial words claiming they would remember him, then mentioning Hou Xin, they knew Hou Xin was likely in trouble.
Mu Jinyu replied, "He recklessly challenged me, died at my hands, and before dying, he claimed your Barbarian Demon Sect was powerful, the Elders' Council would avenge him, so I didn't want to waste time waiting for you to find me, I decided to pay a visit myself to see if you're as strong as he claimed!"
