The previous reminder from the Supreme Emperor was not without reason.
Zhao Sining was so arrogant that he dared to openly declare revenge on Mu Hanyan. It was not because he was arrogant, but because he had something to rely on.
Mu Hanyan calmed down after hearing Yan Yuqing's words. No matter how powerful Zhao Si Ning was, he relied on his innate magical powers, not his own cultivation. For a cultivator, cultivation is always the foundation. Otherwise, those with the Guardian Bloodline of the Gods wouldn't need to practice, they could just lie back and wait for awakening.
Of course, even if Zhao Si Ning's cultivation reached the level of Sword Saint, she would still not be afraid of him. To reach the pinnacle of the strong, one must face all kinds of strong people. She would not underestimate any enemy, but she would not be frightened by Zhao Si Ning.
"In that case, he has saved your Yan family's life. Then wouldn't it be ungrateful for you to stay with us?" Mu Hanyan said to Yan Yuqing half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"Young Master Mu, you still remember the three elders of the Yan family branch who I just talked about. Two of them died at the hands of the violent stone monsters, and the other was seriously injured. Although his injuries were serious, they were not fatal, but he still died in the end, killed by Zhao Sining's sword." Yan Yuqing said with a wry smile.
"What?" Upon hearing this, not only Hua Yue and the others, even Mu Hanyan was slightly stunned.
"His swordsmanship was so powerful that it not only ripped the violent stone beast into pieces, but also brought disaster to the surrounding people. This included the second elder of our Yan family branch and six family masters, the Lord of Wuyuan City and 28 city guards, and even the nine students from Zhengying Academy who came with him. All of them died at his sword's hands.
Although over forty experts died innocently, Wuyuan City was able to hold out thanks to Zhao Sining, so no one held him responsible afterwards. "As for gratitude, I don't know what others think, but at least our Yan family wouldn't be grateful to him. Even if the gates of Wuyuan City fell, we still had the inner city to defend. Reinforcements would arrive in a few days and the crisis would be resolved. But he acted so decisively that he killed eight of our Yan family's experts. How could we possibly be grateful to him?" Yan Yuqing explained.
"That guy didn't do it on purpose, right? He looks shifty and I don't think he's a good person." Ye Yanran guessed maliciously.
Hua Yue and the others glanced at Ye Yanran in confusion, wondering how she could tell Zhao Si Ning had such shifty eyes. While this uncle was a bit older and had been a bit lustful when he was with Miss Zhao Si, he still had decent features overall, definitely not the kind of person you'd associate with shifty eyes. Perhaps being a thief for so long had changed his perspective on people, allowing him to discern their true nature at a glance?
Ye Yanran had no idea that while she was making malicious assumptions about others, she was also being maliciously assumed about.
"No, I still remember the way he looked when he killed that violent stone monster. His body was covered in blood, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was hideous. He was completely in a frenzy, and the fight he went through was even more terrifying than the most brutal beast.
"If I'm not mistaken, it was probably because the power of that sword strike was too great, or perhaps the innate magical power he had comprehended was too powerful, and even he couldn't control it, and even his mind went into a frenzy. He continued to slash wildly until all the strange beasts were driven away, injuring several of his fellow students from Zhengying Academy before regaining consciousness." Yan Yuqing said affirmatively, her voice trembling slightly.
Mu Hanyan and the others then realized that he was not actually still frightened by the battle in Wuyuan City, but was still frightened by the memory of Zhao Sining's appearance at that time.
"In short, Young Master Mu, don't underestimate him. Once that guy starts to fight, he is simply a pure beast and a devil." Yan Yuqing reminded again.
"Thank you for the reminder. I will be careful." Seeing Yan Yuqing so serious, Mu Hanyan became more wary of Zhao Sining and nodded.
"Young Master Mu, you are too polite. My elder brother has never been submissive to anyone in his life. He only admires you. I have heard of Young Master Mu's heroic name for a long time. Meeting you today is simply... a great honor." Seeing Mu Hanyan apologize to her, Yan Yuqing was flattered. She was so excited that her face turned red and her speech became unclear.
Mu Hanyan smiled. When she heard him mention Yan Yuchu, she thought of something and took out something from the star disk space and threw it to him.
"This, this... where did you get it from?" Yan Yuchu didn't see clearly what it was, and took it subconsciously, and then looked at Mu Hanyan in surprise.
What he was holding in his hand was the Destiny Star Plate that Mu Hanyan had obtained from Zhao Lingxian. Mu Hanyan would naturally not forget what he had promised.
"Don't worry about this. The Destiny Star Plate has been given to you anyway. It depends on you how high your strength can be improved." Mu Hanyan said.
Because of Zhao Si Ning, she couldn't tell Yan Yuchu the origin of the Destiny Star Plate. Zhao Si Ning hadn't been a concern before, but after hearing from Yan Yuqing how powerful this guy was, Mu Hanyan didn't want to cause trouble for Yan Yuchu.
"Yeah." Fortunately, Yan Yuchu did not have Jiang Yuzhe's habit of getting to the bottom of things. He put away the Destiny Star Plate and nodded solemnly to Mu Hanyan without even saying thank you.
Mu Hanyan smiled in response. Although he and Yan Yuchu had known each other for a short time and had not spent much time together, they had always treated each other with sincerity. To be honest, before her strength improved by leaps and bounds, she had been in danger several times and it was thanks to Yan Yuchu who came to her rescue.
The two of them can definitely be considered friends for life and death, so the word "thank you" is often redundant.
The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
"The formation has been activated!" Cheers came from several young people nearby, and the teleportation formation emitted a magical light.
"Come quickly, the teleportation array can only last for half an hour each time and can only transport five people each time. If you miss this time, you will have to wait until a month later." A royal guard shouted.
Mu Hanyan and others did not dare to delay and hurried over.
The group was divided into groups of five and stepped onto the teleportation array one by one.
A flash of light appeared before her eyes, and Mu Hanyan felt her body lighten as she entered a colorful passage.
Mu Hanyan remembered that she had used the teleportation array when she first went to the Valley of Exotic Beasts, but this time, the feeling was obviously different.
Even though she was in the teleportation array, Mu Hanyan could clearly feel the numerous restrictions outside. Obviously, the Holy Court was not only in an independent and separate space like those ancient ruins, but was also protected by numerous restrictions. If it weren't for the existence of this teleportation array, outsiders would never be able to find the Holy Court even if they tried their best, and even if they did, they would not be able to open the space barrier.
No wonder this teleportation array is so difficult to repair. Even Ye Lanxuan would rather use other methods to return to the Holy Court in order to minimize damage to it. Mu Hanyan finally understood the reason.
Being in the teleportation array, time and space were completely distorted. Mu Hanyan didn't know how long she had been flying. When the colorful light in front of her eyes disappeared and she stepped on the ground again, Mu Hanyan found that she and Hua Yue and others were under a mountain range.
