For nearly a month, Mu Hanyan has been continuously refining and absorbing the star power left by Mu Tianlie. The energy in her heart meridians has been continuously increasing, and the dim stars have also emitted a faint light, but they can never be fully lit up, and she has never been able to break through the last barrier.
How could this happen? After trying several times, Mu Hanyan stopped, puzzled.
The strength of her energy at this moment was no weaker than that of an ordinary beginner swordsman. She had even faintly touched the threshold of swordsmanship. It was really within reach, but she just couldn't break through.
Could it be because of the incomplete Heaven and Earth Qi, as Han Jinglun had mentioned? But she had easily ascended to the Sword Master realm in her previous life, without encountering such a situation? And according to Han Jinglun, one would only be affected by this after reaching the Sword Saint realm. She was only trying to break through to the Sword Master realm, so why couldn't she?
Could it be because of the marrow cleansing and meridian strengthening and the cultivation method? Mu Hanyan's heart moved. At this moment, she was very different from ordinary people in terms of talent and cultivation method. Naturally, the requirements for promotion would also be different from those of ordinary people.
This is the only possibility Mu Hanyan can think of.
After discovering the reason, Mu Hanyan felt no joy at all, but rather a sense of suspense. Although her talent and skills far surpassed those of ordinary people, and her future achievements were beyond the imagination of ordinary swordsmen, she still had to have a future.
If you can’t even break through to the realm of swordsman, what’s the point of having a future?
What should I do? I can't go to the forbidden area with the strength of a great swordsman. That's not training, that's suicide.
Mu Hanyan thought about it over and over again but couldn't think of a solution.
"Mu Hanyan, come out here." Just when Mu Hanyan was at a loss, the angry roar of the Great Elder was heard outside.
What's wrong with this old guy again? Mu Hanyan opened the door unhappily.
"Great Elder, do you have any instructions?" Mu Hanyan was in a bad mood and did not speak to the Great Elder in a good tone.
"Where did Mu Feng go? Why did you all come back, but Mu Feng didn't?" The Great Elder looked at Mu Hanyan with murderous eyes and asked.
"Mu Feng didn't come back?" Mu Hanyan asked in surprise after hearing the elder's words. Mu Feng had left the Beast Valley unscathed, but perhaps because he felt guilty, he didn't feel comfortable going with them.
"Nonsense, why would I come to you when he's coming back? The three of you went for the trial together. You and Mu Chengdu have been back for so many days, but Mu Feng hasn't returned yet. Did something happen to him?" The Great Elder was furious and looked really anxious.
At this time, the other Mu family members heard the noise and gathered together.
"No, he didn't have any accident. I saw him leave the Valley of Exotic Beasts with my own eyes." Mu Hanyan said affirmatively.
"Then why didn't he come back?" the Great Elder pressed on.
"You ask me, who should I ask?" Mu Hanyan said impatiently. It was none of her business that such a large and living person got lost. She didn't know what was wrong with this old man, why he targeted her.
"No, no, he must have had an accident. You felt guilty for not saving him, so you deliberately concealed it." The Great Elder stared at Mu Hanyan and spoke to himself.
"What?" Mu Hanyan didn't expect that the old man had such a rich imagination, and was a little surprised.
"It must be like this, it must be like this, otherwise it would be impossible for you and Mu Cheng to come back unscathed, but Mu Feng is the only one missing. Mu Hanyan, although my Mu Feng and you have some grudges, as a fellow Mu family member, you shouldn't just stand by and watch him die. You... have you forgotten that you are also a descendant of the Mu family?" The elder said with a choked voice, beating his chest and stamping his feet.
Hearing his words, the surrounding Mu family members were all lost in thought. It was no secret that Mu Feng and Mu Hanyan were at odds. Could it be that Mu Hanyan had truly stood by and watched Mu Feng perish in the Valley of Exotic Beasts without rescuing him? Otherwise, it didn't make sense that three of them had gone through the trial together, two had returned unharmed, and yet the other had disappeared without a trace.
But after thinking about it carefully, they felt that Mu Hanyan should not be such a person.
Mu Hanyan was at a loss for words. She really didn't know where this old man got such a strong prejudice against her. He could even think of such a thing.
"Great Elder, Mu Feng really didn't encounter any accident. I saw him leave the Valley of Exotic Beasts with my own eyes." Mu Cheng also rushed over and explained to the Great Elder.
"Hmph, everyone knows that you have fallen into depravity and are in cahoots with Mu Hanyan. Can your words be taken seriously?" The Great Elder said disdainfully.
"Great Elder, Brother Hanyan and Mu Cheng are not that kind of people. Brother Mu Feng must have been delayed by something and will be back in a few days." At this time, Mu Ze, Mu Yuying and others could not bear it anymore and stood up to defend Mu Hanyan and the others.
"That's right, Brother Hanyan is not that kind of person. You must have wronged him." Other younger generations of the Mu family also said.
"Shut up! Do you think I don't know that you have accepted benefits from Mu Hanyan, so naturally you have to speak for him?" The Great Elder cursed angrily.
It was not until then that he realized that not only Mu Ze and others had benefited from Mu Hanyan, but many other members of the Mu family had also received his favor. Coupled with his astonishing strength, Mu Hanyan was no longer the unlearned and dissolute young man in their minds, but had become the leader of the younger generation of the Mu family in Black Stone City.
All of this should have belonged to Mu Feng, but now Mu Feng's life or death is unknown, and apart from himself, there is no one to seek justice for him.
Thinking of this, the Great Elder felt even more resentful towards Mu Hanyan.
"Grandfather, you really misunderstood Han Yan." At this moment, Mu Feng's hoarse voice sounded at the door.
Mu Feng was seen being carried by several servants at the door. His clothes were tattered and bloodstained, and his face was as pale as paper. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.
"Feng'er, how did you get injured like this?" The Great Elder was shocked. He left Mu Hanyan and rushed over, holding Mu Feng and asked anxiously.
"Hanyan, Huayue, Zirong, and Jiang Yuzhe were attacked in Shishanling. I wanted to save them, but my strength was too weak. I had a hard time escaping to report the news. You...you go and save them quickly. If it's too late, they will be in great danger." Mu Feng struggled to stand up and said anxiously to Mu Hanyan. As soon as he finished speaking, he fell down again.
Huayue Zirong was injured! Mu Hanyan was shocked.
Hua Yue and Zi Rong have both reached the eighth level of swordsmanship and are definitely not weaklings. Jiang Yuzhe is even more skilled in strange and magical skills, and even they can't deal with him. He has to rely on Mu Feng to tip them off. How strong is his opponent?
Without thinking too much, Mu Hanyan immediately rushed out, but stopped beside Mu Feng and said, "Thank you very much."
