As Cao Tianming finished speaking, the once peaceful hall was suddenly filled with intense killing intent again.

Cao Tianming looked at Zhou Mu with a gloomy expression.

"Boy, you're just a lowly Xuanling Realm martial artist, yet you dare to meddle in other people's business. How can I praise you? You're like a newborn calf that isn't afraid of a tiger."

After a hearty laugh, a murderous aura suddenly shot out from his dark eyes, almost tangible.

The Mysterious Spirit Realm is the second level of the five realms in the human world.

This is Zhou Mu's true level of attainment now.

After Cao Tianming sensed Zhou Mu's cultivation level, the intense turmoil in his heart caused by Zhou Mu's sudden appearance gradually subsided.

A mere Xuanling Realm cultivator is no match for him.

Even if we say that a martial artist in the Profound Spirit Realm at this age has a promising future, after all, being able to break through to the Immortal-Mortal Realm in one's twenties is already considered an exceptional talent. And the Profound Spirit Realm, which is a higher level, is even more impressive, with limitless potential.

If nothing unexpected happens, with the advantage of age and the accumulation of abundant cultivation resources, the success rate of breaking through to the Saint realm is almost certainly much higher than that of others.

However, a prodigy who doesn't grow up can only be a prodigy. After all, they were once people who stood at the peak. I've seen many prodigies, but many of them have fallen halfway through.

"A mere Xuanling Realm martial artist dares to spout nonsense at me? Kid, since you're courting death, I'll send you on your way. Anyway, I've killed plenty of people, one more won't make a difference."

"Profound Spirit Realm?"

Cao Lun, who had finally ignited a glimmer of hope, took a closer look after hearing this and, upon confirming that the latter was merely a martial artist at the Profound Spirit Realm, his burning flame immediately went out.

What can a mere Profound Spirit Realm martial artist do? Compared to a Saint Realm cultivator, he is like a towering mountain, making even a breath difficult.

In an instant

Cao Tianming then took action.

At this moment, Zhou Mu subconsciously stepped in front of Su Xuan'er, blocking all the pressure from Cao Tianming.

As Su Xuan'er watched Zhou Mu's retreating figure, she suddenly thought of Ye Ming, and her heart clenched.

Cao Lun had already told her about Ye Ming's marriage. It was a marriage alliance between the Ye family and the prefectural governor's mansion, something that the elders of both sides had decided long ago. If Ye Ming hadn't disagreed with his family and insisted on marrying her, Ye Ming and Wu Ying's child would probably be walking by now.

"Hurry up..."

Su Xuan'er's pretty face paled slightly as she urged him urgently.

She knew very well that if Zhou Mu ignored her, this attack would not harm him.

"No."

After comforting Su Xuan'er, Zhou Mu shook his head with a smile and said, "Believe me, I don't even consider this level of strength a threat."

His words were extremely arrogant.

Cao Tianming sneered, a sharp killing intent flashing in his dark eyes. He suddenly stretched out his hand, and instantly, a powerful killing intent surged out, forming a giant palm that slammed down from a distance.

Space shattered, breaking into countless spatial fragments that all converged on the attack.

In a short moment, the power it displayed already possessed the majesty of a sage.

Strands of spiritual energy, carrying fragments of space, were causing the towering pillars of the main hall to crack like a spider web as they could not withstand the immense power. The sturdy hall began to sway slightly.

Zhou Mu watched this terrifying scene with a calm expression. After sensing the unease of the person behind him, he took the opportunity to comfort her before looking at the attack.

He was caught off guard. He simply took out a token from his sleeve. The token was engraved with the character "Jiang," and around that character, there was a faint blue lightning ring.

The moment the token appeared, the space itself underwent a subtle change; it was merely an object that possessed such power.

This is enough to show how powerful the owner of this token must be.

Zhou Mu gazed at a point in the void and said calmly, "Miss Jiang, your servants have been quite disrespectful to me. As their master, shouldn't you step in and discipline them?"

Upon hearing the words "Miss Jiang," Cao Tianming, who had just been looking down upon all living beings like a god, suddenly changed his indifferent expression. His eyes, which had been as calm as a pool of stagnant water, rippled violently, his pupils contracted sharply, and he couldn't help but gasp, a chill running down his spine.

"Miss Jiang..."

He repeated it, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

As Zhou Mu finished speaking, an ancient and primordial aura suddenly emerged from a small point in the air within the main hall. Immediately, that aura forcefully tore a hole in the space.

A jade-like foot, as white and smooth as a green onion, slowly emerged from the void.

The air seemed to soften at that moment.

Above her jade-like feet were long, slender, and delicate legs as white and tender as tofu, incredibly graceful, long and straight, with not a single ounce of excess fat on her calves, revealing a perfect curve.

Next, there was her incredibly slender waist, so large it seemed one hand could encircle it, and especially her voluptuous breasts, enough to make any woman in the world feel ashamed.

But all of that paled in comparison when one saw her face.

Her delicate face had fair skin as tender as a newborn baby's. Beneath her long, thick eyebrows were bright, sparkling eyes that shone like the sun, yet also revealed a touch of purity, captivating all who looked upon them. Her pert nose and cherry-like lips were the perfect finishing touch, making her breathtakingly beautiful.

How can one describe such unparalleled beauty? The Creator's favoritism is fully displayed in her.

At that moment, a ray of sunlight shone through the crack in the lintel, illuminating her exquisitely sculpted face, making it appear even more radiant and translucent, so captivating that one glance would be enough to make one willingly fall madly in love with her.

The woman wore a light blue dress, simple and elegant, like a small flower bud blooming in a secluded valley. Although she had no embellishments or expensive jewelry, no one could ignore her peerless and ethereal temperament, as if she were a fairy from heaven who had mistakenly descended to the mortal world.

After the woman appeared, her clear and beautiful gaze fell on Zhou Mu, and then a smile appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.

In an instant, everything paled in comparison; it was as if all the beauty in the world could not compare to the woman's gentle smile, revealing her radiant beauty.

"Zhou Mu, it's been a long time."

Her voice was beautiful; her cool tone carried a hint of crispness, like the song of a nightingale in a secluded valley.

Zhou Mu was already used to the woman's stunning beauty.

Every time I see her, I can't help but be amazed and exclaim, "She's a real beauty!"

If he hadn't already fallen for her, he probably would have been captivated by her, willing to go through fire and water for her smile.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Zhou Mu grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.
