He was certain that Mu Hanyan had not concealed her strength at that time, which meant that her strength had indeed soared from the sixth-level swordsman to the tenth level in less than half a year.
Could it be the natal star chart left by Tianlie's ancestors? Mu Feng couldn't think of any other possibility. In fact, he wasn't entirely wrong. Mu Hanyan's current strength was largely due to the natal star chart. However, he didn't know that not everyone could benefit from Mu Tianlie's natal star chart. If it were him, not only would his strength soar, but his life would be in jeopardy.
Mu Feng felt conflicted. Mu Tianlie's natal chart wasn't reserved for his direct descendants; he was simply showing a slight preference for his own biological descendants. As long as they had the opportunity, any descendant of the Mu family could possess it, so Mu Hanyan didn't need to feel grateful to them.
If it were someone who was blinded by greed, he would not care about his life or death at all. In order to avoid future troubles, he might even kick him when he is down. However, Mu Hanyan did not think so much and still saved his life at the most critical moment.
Logically speaking, he should actually be grateful to Mu Hanyan, but when he thought that the natal star disk originally belonged to the Mu family of Black Stone City, and the one who possessed the strength of a great swordsman should be him, the direct descendant of Mu Tianlie, and not Mu Hanyan, a distant relative, he could not accept it.
Mu Feng's heart was filled with gratitude, resentment, envy and jealousy.
Even as his mind was spinning, the distance to the crack in the cliff edge was getting closer and closer. Although people were injured from time to time under the frenzied attacks of the strange beasts, with the protection of Mu Hanyan and Yan Yuchu, the injured were quickly replaced in the center of the team, and surprisingly, no one died.
"A great swordsman, he is actually a great swordsman!" Seeing Mu Hanyan's strength, Youchen was not only surprised, but more delighted.
His success and failure in life were all due to the art of taming beasts. Because he had mastered this art, he relied on the help of powerful beasts to escape danger time and time again. However, it was also because he had learned the language of spirit beasts from the fragments of ancient texts that his strength could no longer improve, and he remained stagnant at the level of Sword Saint.
Therefore, he also knew best the shackles that the spiritual animal language posed on strength.
Mu Hanyan was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but she had already reached the level of a great swordsman and was not affected by the spiritual beast language at all.
There was only one possibility: her understanding of psychic animal language far surpassed his own. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to break free from her shackles and possess such strength at such a young age. Xia Youchen reaffirmed his previous judgment.
Closer and closer, Mu Hanyan could already see the anxious faces of Mu Cheng and Wu Qiyun at the entrance of the crack in the cliff.
The two of them didn't go far, but stayed at the entrance of the crack waiting for Mu Hanyan and the others. If they hadn't known that their strength was not enough and rushing forward would only cause trouble for Mu Hanyan, they would have stepped forward to help.
"Whoosh!" Just as they were about to rush into the crack of the cliff, they heard the sound of wind and Xia Youchen's mummy-like figure blocked their way.
With just a wave of his arm, all the strange beasts stopped attacking and took a few steps back, but still maintained their attacking posture, staring at everyone with a fierce look.
The swordsmen also stopped. They didn't have the courage to fight the beasts, but facing the almost legendary existence of Xia Youchen, they really didn't dare to take action. A person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree, and Xia Youchen's reputation is indeed a little louder.
