At the foot of Dwarf Mountain.
A group of Heaven's Pride was blocked by an unprecedented restriction, continuously waving various formidable forbidden artifacts, trying to break the restriction, rush toward the Dwarf Mountain, and pick the Hedao Fruit.
But at that moment, a young man suddenly appeared from the forbidden area, took a few steps onto the hillside, and picked all the Hedao Fruits they were striving for.
After a moment of stupefaction, everyone was enraged, their anger soaring to the sky, and they all loudly reprimanded Mu Jinyu.
They demanded that Mu Jinyu walk out of the forbidden area with the Hedao Fruit, kneeling and offering the Fruit of the Way back to them!
Otherwise, when they break the restriction and enter the forbidden area, they would make him regret it for life!
Mu Jinyu ignored their clamor. After recognizing one person's identity, he confirmed that he indeed arrived in the secret realm, feeling a bit relieved amidst his excitement.
This way, he would not need to spend a considerable amount of time discerning the direction and running to the Chu Kingdom looking for a key to enter the secret realm in search of Wen Rou and others.
He could directly walk out of this peculiar area and then look for Wen Rou and their whereabouts.
"Huh, this person... feels a bit familiar, seems like... the one being hunted by the Wu Family..."
Amid the passionate shouting, someone suddenly recognized a bit of familiarity when Mu Jinyu turned his head to look at them, and then, not so certain, identified his identity.
"He seems to be that Mu Jinyu, the Dragon Head Leader of this Hidden Dragon Conference, and he's not dead at the hands of the Wu Family, and even entered the secret realm?"
With the incredulous exclamation sounded.
The rest slightly paused their clamor, began seriously observing Mu Jinyu, and then started to confirm, that the person before them was indeed this session's Dragon Head Leader!
"It really is him!"
"But even if he could enter the secret realm, he should have been much later than us, why would he directly come to the forbidden area?"
"Regardless of that, so what if he's the Dragon Head Leader? He's just a mere Eighth Level of Fanxu Realm junior, let alone that it's still a question whether he can survive the Wu Family's hunt, if he dares to offend us again, the vast Kunlun Ruins will have no place for him to stand!"
"That's right, hand over the Hedao Fruit!"
After being astonished for a moment, everyone quickly continued clamoring, asking Mu Jinyu to come out and return the Hedao Fruit to them!
Mu Jinyu never listened to their clamor from the beginning to the end. After confirming that he was in the secret realm, although his heart slightly eased, he was still preparing to find Wen Rou and others early.
Afterward, he directly stepped down from the Dwarf Mountain, heading toward the group trapped outside.
Since this group was guarding and attacking the restriction here, it indicated that this place was the entrance and exit of the No-Fly Zone, and he just needed to walk out from here.
"Boom!"
In a hurry to leave and find someone, Mu Jinyu didn't intend to slowly crack the restriction relying on his own skill in restrictions, so he took out the Bi Fang Cauldron immediately, and a torrent of fire sea poured out, sweeping mightily toward that exit.
The people guarding outside were startled when they saw the fire sea rolling over.
But then they reacted, knowing that Mu Jinyu intended to break the restriction and walk out of the forbidden area, naturally thinking that Mu Jinyu had surrendered.
They inwardly scoffed disdainfully, then shouted and made a move together, waving forbidden artifacts, starting to break the restriction.
With everyone's joint efforts, plus Mu Jinyu coordinating inside and outside, using the Bi Fang Cauldron which was just a step away from becoming a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure...
Not long afterward, accompanied by a loud roar, the restriction that had kept the people outside trapped for nearly five days was finally broken by their combined effort.
"Thank you."
With the restriction broken, Mu Jinyu faintly felt the breath of freedom from outside, no longer repressed, and thanked the crowd, then he stepped up to leave here, to find Wen Rou and others.
"Hmm?! Where are you trying to go?"
"Leave the Hedao Fruit!"
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's thanks and seeing his unhesitating attempt to leave, everyone was momentarily stunned, their expressions turned dark, then they quickly surrounded Mu Jinyu on all sides, preventing him from leaving.
"What do you mean by this?"
Seeing their actions, Mu Jinyu's expression slightly darkened, he spoke coldly.
"Hand over the Hedao Fruit, or are you planning to keep it all to yourself?"
Someone said coldly.
Mu Jinyu coldly surveyed the group, all eight were Peak Ninth Layer of the Fanxu Realm experts.
Moreover, he understood that these were not ordinary Peak Ninth Layer of the Fanxu Realm experts; they were top-grade Heaven's Pride like Ji Changxin, having been at the Ninth Layer of the Fanxu Realm for many years, with even more terrifying combat prowess.
Although he was confident in suppressing them alone, he didn't want to waste too much time entangling with them.
Also due to the reason affected by the Wu Family, he didn't want to unnecessarily offend too many people, reaching a point where the whole world was his enemy.
Besides, he indeed couldn't use so many Hedao Fruits currently, and that he could easily walk out of that forbidden area indeed credited some effort to these people...
Thinking of this, Mu Jinyu then said, "Alright, I can take out five Hedao Fruits for exchange, but what Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures do you have to trade with me?"
"You want to trade our Hedao Fruit with us? Do you really think becoming the Dragon Head Leader allows you to be on par with us?"
"Exactly, and only bringing out five Hedao Fruits for trade? Even giving us five would not be enough for the eight of us to split evenly, still want to play the trick of using one peach to kill three soldiers? Hand over all the Hedao Fruits!"
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, two people sneered, unable to hold back, they directly made a move, each transforming into a colossal palm as if divine spirits were patrolling the human realm, encountering rebels, they suppressed and killed them!
Mu Jinyu's eyes grew colder, without a trace of fear, he raised his palm to clash, and with a boom, shattered the two colossal palms, scattering them into a rain of light falling everywhere.
Such combat strength caused those two attackers to be momentarily stunned, and then their expressions turned even more grim.
Mu Jinyu's expression was cold and stern. Even though he faced eight others, he was not afraid at all and coldly said, "The Hedao Fruits I obtained, I am willing to take out five to exchange with you, yet you feel ungrateful and want to rob me, do you really think I fear you!"
"Hmph!"
Not only did those two coldly snort, but the rest were also very displeased with Mu Jinyu's firm stance, all intending to make a move to seize the Hedao Fruits.
At this time, a handsome young man with a gentle and scholarly demeanor, after seeing Mu Jinyu's terrifying combat prowess and that he was still able to fight on par with them despite being at the Eighth Level of Fanxu Realm, hesitated for a moment, then stood out, signaling everyone to stop, and then spoke:
"Being able to suppress Ji Changxin and others, winning the Dragon Head Leader title, and fighting on equal terms with Brother Chen and Brother Wei, you're indeed outstanding... However, facing the Wu Family's hunt, you surely are weak alone. If the Wu Family offers a bounty to let more Hedao Realm experts encircle and kill you, how long could you hold?"
Mu Jinyu coldly chuckled, "Even if the world stands against me, why should I fear? I would carve out a new dawn of justice!"
The gentle young man, hearing this, slightly shook his head, as if lamenting Mu Jinyu's naivety, then said, "You underestimate the terror of Hedao Realm might. Without experiencing the pressure of a Hedao Realm expert firsthand, you have no idea how terrifying the Hedao Realm truly is."
As he spoke, he changed his tone, "You have already offended the Wu Family, and now do you truly want to be at odds with us for the extra Hedao Fruit you possess?"
He glanced around at the other seven people, lightly smiled, and said, "You should know, the forces behind us are not inferior to the Wu Family at all; they all have Hedao Realm might..."
"Are you threatening me?" Mu Jinyu raised his eyebrows, his tone cold and indifferent.
