Mu Qing said helplessly, "Senior, A Yu has only just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, while his opponent is a powerful figure in the Divine Transformation stage. It's already quite impressive that he was able to fight like this."

Tao Yaoyao: "Although the other party is in the Nascent Soul stage, his cultivation level is very weak. It's obvious that he has reached that level by taking pills."

After a pause, he added somewhat angrily, "Hmph, not a single human cultivator is any good. I wonder how many spiritual herbs they've squandered."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and stopped looking, preferring to ignore it.

Mu Qing: "..."

Mu Qing knew that Tao Yaoyao was the same Tao Yao who had a tragic love affair with Sima Huan in the mortal realm dynasty hundreds of years ago.

Back then, I was deceived and exploited by Sima Huan.

It's understandable that people nowadays hate human cultivators.

Therefore, I didn't argue with him much.

Zhang Family Courtyard

Murong Yu and Old Master Zhang were fighting each other.

After Murong Yu and Ao Bupa were ambushed at the exit of the secret realm and taken to the Zhang family.

Zhang Qihua's father, a Nascent Soul cultivator, arrogantly demanded that Murong Yu hand over the treasures he possessed.

Murong Yu was anxious because he couldn't find Mu Qing and didn't want to get entangled with her, so he wanted to leave with Ao Bupa.

Zhang's father naturally refused to accept this and, without saying a word, took action to teach Murong Yu a lesson.

Unexpectedly, his mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation level was no match for Murong Yu's early-stage Nascent Soul cultivation level. He was severely injured and fell to the ground after only a few moves.

Seeing this, Old Master Zhang, who had been maintaining his composure and hadn't made a move until now, glared angrily and, abandoning all pretense, immediately engaged Murong Yu in combat.

Zhang Qihua and Zhang Qihua, who were watching from the entrance of the hall, quickly stepped forward and helped Zhang's father into the hall.

After taking the healing pills, Zhang's father did not leave, but stayed in the hall to watch Old Master Zhang teach Murong Yu a lesson.

Ao was not afraid to see Murong Yu and Old Master Zhang fighting, but he couldn't get involved, so he was anxious and kept pacing around.

Although Murong Yu was powerful, he struggled greatly against Old Master Zhang, whose cultivation was far superior to his own.

Ao Bupa was anxious and wanted to capture Zhang Qihua or Zhang Qihua to threaten the Zhang family. Just as he was about to make his move, Li Fei, who was protecting the two of them, discovered him.

Li Fei harbored resentment towards Murong Yu for defeating him in the dueling arena.

Seeing that Ao Bupa was only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, a surge of rage welled up within him. At present, his combat strength was no match for Murong Yu, but he still didn't take Ao Bupa seriously.

Li Fei immediately flew into battle with Ao Bupa, each move ruthless and fierce.

At first, Ao was not afraid to deal with it, but he was somewhat overwhelmed.

But gradually, the situation changed dramatically. Soon, Li Fei was suppressing Ao Bupa, while Ao Bupa was dominating Li Fei.

Seeing this, Mu Qing was slightly surprised and thought, "It seems that Ao Bupa has gained a lot in the secret realm."

The gaze shifted to Murong Yu, who held a sword in his right hand. The Golden Dragon Seal flew out automatically and covered his magic sword, its crimson-gold color flowing, exuding an astonishing power.

The magic sword in Murong Yu's hand is a fourth-grade magic sword.

It was taken out of the secret realm and thrown to him by Fire Phoenix before the battle.

The magic sword itself is already quite powerful, but with the addition of the Golden Dragon Seal, its power is even greater.

With the help of the Golden Dragon Seal, Murong Yu did not lose out to Old Master Zhang in their battle, and the two sides fought to a standstill.

However, Murong Yu only had the cultivation level of the early Nascent Soul stage, and the spiritual power in his body was naturally not as abundant as that of the old man Zhang who was in the Divine Transformation stage. After a while, he began to have some difficulty.

Seeing this, Mu Qing felt somewhat worried.

A familiar voice suddenly rang out in the courtyard.

The voice was extremely arrogant: "Oh dear, there's an old man here, shameless! He's so old, yet he dares to bully the younger generation! Shameless, shameless..."

The voice belonged to Fire Phoenix, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines for a long time.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Zhang paused his attack, and Murong Yu seized the opportunity to push him back several steps.

Mu Qing looked in the direction of the sound and saw a small black crow perched on a bare, withered tree in the yard. It was easy to miss if you weren't paying attention, which explained why no one had noticed its presence in the yard before.

The little crow leisurely preened the feathers on its chest with its beak, its little eyes gleaming with arrogance.

Zhang Qihua, who was in the hall, was astonished to see a crow that could speak human language. He exclaimed in shock, "Father, this...this is..."
