Despite the excruciating pain, Peng Wanshan swung his longsword and suddenly turned around.

Song Nuanyang remained completely still, but a pink fireball appeared out of thin air at her waist.

Click!

Peng Wanshan's longsword struck the fireball but could not penetrate any further; instead, the blade was burned red.

At this moment, the pink flames on his body were still burning fiercely.

"hateful!"

Peng Wanshan's mouth was open, steam billowing from it, and he finally collapsed to the ground with a thud.

His body was burned black, and he was convulsing on the ground.

Song Nuanyang looked at Xu Mu, and then black text appeared above her head.

[Favorability +20]

The Peng Wanshan before her was the same as before, at the Grandmaster Perfection realm.

If it were before, she would never have won so easily against this person.

But now, with Xu Mu's help, he successfully entered the Transcendent Realm and almost instantly killed his opponent.

Everyone else around who saw this was terrified.

They had originally planned to come up and help, hoping to get some assists and perhaps receive a reward.

But seeing that even the Grand Elder was instantly killed, what's the point of them coming up? Wouldn't that be courting death?

Xu Mu watched all of this with a calm expression; it was nothing out of his expectations.

If the forces around him can't even handle a second-rate sect, how can they possibly deal with the Eternal Life Research Institute?

Seeing this from afar, Xia Chuan knocked Tong Guoguo back with a single sword strike, and then took the opportunity to land next to Peng Wanshan.

He crouched down and placed his fingers beside Peng Wanshan's neck, where he could still feel the rhythm.

"I'm not playing anymore."

Xia Chuan immediately said, "I know Peng Huihuang very well. He deserved it for provoking you."

"I didn't expect you to be such a pragmatic person. I'm quite surprised."

Xu Mu had not originally intended to kill them all.

Xia Chuan wasn't afraid of the people in front of him; he was afraid of the masters behind them.

From those two encounters, he knew he couldn't wipe them all out.

If any of them escapes and tells their master what happened here, the Demon Sword Sect will be doomed.

He has already reached an agreement with a master, and it's time for him to improve his strength. There's no need for him to fight to the death with such a sect.

It's not too late to take revenge when we're stronger in the future.

“Our Second Elder is already dead, the First Elder cannot die as well.”

Xia Chuan said to Xu Mu, "We will not seek revenge against you again."

"Alright, for Xia Sihan's sake, I'll let bygones be bygones."

Xu Mu nodded slightly, then turned and left with the others.

"May I have your name?"

Xia Chuan asked from behind.

"Xu Mu".

He wasn't lying.

After the group left the sect, Dai Xingluo excitedly hugged Xu Mu's arm.

[Favorability +10]

"Brother, it's such a blessing to know you."

Dai Xingluo never dared to dream that he would go to the Demon Sword Sect and, after only a few exchanges, frighten the sect leader into surrendering.

"Keep a low profile..."

As Xu Mu was speaking, he suddenly raised his left hand.

"Brother Mu, what's wrong?"

Meng Wanyue asked from the side.

"It seems there are Gu cultivators heading this way."

Xu Mu sensed that there was no one else.

However, the Devouring Spirit Gu within him has already discovered its own kind.

"The Jiuli tribe?"

Song Nuanyang's face darkened. "The Demon Sword Sect is colluding with the Nine Li Clan?"

"It looks like we can't leave yet."

Xu Mu said in a deep voice.
