Mu Hanyan broke out in a cold sweat. If Ye Yanran hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten about astrology. She also didn't expect that when she mentioned her identity as an astrologer, Zhuang Ping'an and others would not have any doubts at all.
Could it be that I am really suitable for the profession of a charlatan?
The thought flashed through her mind for a moment, then was quickly dismissed. In reality, it wasn't that she was suited to being a shaman, but rather that what happened to her was simply too bizarre. The Divine Martial Soul Refining Technique wasn't originally a cultivation technique native to the Sacred Continent; they had never even heard of it, let alone its magical uses. Furthermore, the Phoenix Heart Stone was a rare treasure, rarely even heard of in legend. They had never heard of it, and how could they imagine how powerful the divine consciousness cultivated through the Divine Martial Soul Refining Technique, enhanced by the Phoenix Heart Stone, would be.
In their view, astrology is the most reasonable explanation.
Seeing that they all believed Ye Yanran's presumptuous explanation, Mu Hanyan was too lazy to explain.
Before they knew it, half a month had flown by. In that time, they'd encountered countless devastating storms, brushed against countless ferocious beasts, and avoided countless abysses of death. With Mu Hanyan by their side, they were completely safe.
At the beginning, they were somewhat uneasy and subconsciously focused their minds. Later, after witnessing the power of Mu Dashengun's "astrology technique", they completely relaxed. If they did not have to circulate their energy to resist the increasingly chaotic and powerful power of heaven and earth, it would be even more relaxing than taking a walk in their own back garden.
Mu Hanyan knew that this wasn't a good thing for them. The fewer hardships they experienced now, the greater the dangers they would face in the future. However, in order to find Huayue and the others as soon as possible, she couldn't care less. She could only find them some more opportunities to gain experience after finding them.
During the past half month, Mu Hanyan was concentrating on detecting possible dangers nearby while searching for the mountains that she saw in the Tianji Mirror.
However, as Ye Lanxuan had said, due to the influence of the fog, everything in the Beiyuan Mist Plain, except for the sky curtain, was a mixture of reality and illusion, difficult to distinguish true from false. Although Mu Hanyan had seen several similar peaks in the distance on the first day of entering the Beiyuan Mist Plain, the distant scenery was constantly changing as they walked. If it weren't for the sky curtain, they would have lost their way long ago.
In the end, even Mu Hanyan herself was not sure whether those mountains were in the direction they were heading, but she had no choice but to continue moving forward towards the sky.
"Awoo..." Suddenly, the roar of a strange beast came from the front.
Mu Hanyan's eyes focused. Although she didn't see the figure of the strange beast, from the sound she heard, it was obviously coming from the direction they were heading. She could even feel the heavy pressure.
Zhuang Ping'an and the others, however, seemed oblivious, their expressions as calm as possible. It wasn't because they were strong-willed and unflappable in the face of chaos, but because they had become so accustomed to relying on Miss Mu's "astrological divination" these days that they didn't think they would encounter any danger.
Looking at this group of unsuspecting guys, Mu Hanyan felt a little helpless, but it was not easy to blame them. It was all because of her that they spoiled her. If she had to blame anyone, she should blame herself.
"Be careful, the strange beast is coming towards us." Mu Hanyan said.
"What!" Zhuang Ping'an and others finally woke up from their dream.
If they had encountered this kind of crisis when they first went to the Holy Court, they would definitely fight on their own in groups of three or five, but this time they all gathered around Mu Hanyan, drew their swords, and prepared for battle.
They employed the defensive formation commonly used by mainland armies. While this formation wasn't profound or abstruse, and even seemed somewhat crude from a cultivator's perspective, it was nonetheless simple and practical after experiencing the baptism of millions of years of warfare. The power of the formation, formed by over a hundred descendants of the gods' guardians, was multiplied.
Mu Hanyan nodded with satisfaction. Her efforts had not been in vain. She had finally gathered these originally unruly descendants of the God's Guardians together and they were no longer a group of scattered sand. As long as they could continue to put aside their selfish thoughts and work hand in hand, their chances of survival would increase by several percentage points after reaching the sky curtain.
Soon, a beast shadow came into sight. It turned out to be a violent stone monster. This was the most powerful race of alien beasts in the Longyan Mountains. Only such alien beasts could survive and reproduce in the cruel environment of the Beiyuan Mist Plain.
Everyone gripped their swords tightly. Judging from the vibration coming from under their feet, this violent stone beast was definitely not an illusion.
"Help, help!" When the cry for help rang out, everyone noticed that in front of the violent stone monster, there was a young girl fleeing for her life. However, because her figure was too petite compared to the violent stone monster, she was previously ignored by everyone.
"Jiang Qiling!" The girl had disheveled hair and looked pale with fear, but Mu Hanyan still recognized her at a glance. This was her former nemesis - Jiang Qiling.
Last time in the illusion of Longyan College, Jiang Yunhe and others' conspiracy was exposed, and they had to leave with Jiang Qiling. Mu Hanyan thought that there would be no chance for them to meet again, but she did not expect to meet again in Beiyuan Wuyuan.
"Help..." Mu Hanyan saw Jiang Qiling clearly, but Jiang Qiling could not see Mu Hanyan who was surrounded by the crowd. Seeing the vague figure in front of her, she was overjoyed and shouted again, but she did not pay attention to her feet and was tripped by a piece of gravel and fell.
"Roar..." The violent stone monster raised its giant palm as big as a millstone and slapped her.
"Be careful!" Zhuang Ping'an and others exclaimed.
Although they didn't know Jiang Qiling's identity, as fellow human cultivators, they naturally didn't want to see her die at the claws of a strange beast.
However, due to the fear of the powerful strength of the violent stone monster and the hidden dangers everywhere in the Beiyuan Mist Field, no one dared to help.
Seeing that the girl was about to be beaten into a pulp by the violent stone monster, many people couldn't bear to watch any longer. At this moment, Mu Hanyan's clear and pleasant voice rang out.
"Stars fall, the world is in ruins!" Mu Hanyan, with her sword, rushed towards the violent stone monster like a meteor.
With his strength promoted to the peak of the great swordsman, the power of this sword naturally increased exponentially. The violent stone monster was quite intelligent. After realizing the horror of this sword, it no longer cared about Jiang Qiling. It raised its two giant palms to protect its head. At the same time, a light flashed on its body, and it used its innate ability of petrification.
With a loud bang, the violent stone monster was chopped back several steps by Mu Hanyan.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mu Hanyan grabbed Jiang Qiling and flew backwards.
