Chapter 209: Chapter 207: Wishful Thinking

"Mm!"

Upon arriving at Cangqing Mountain, they were essentially at the Dragon Abyss Sect’s station. After complying with Yan Rufeng’s instructions, Yi Mu sweetly said, "Everything will be arranged according to Brother Rufeng’s plan..."

After Yan Rufeng spread out his Divine Sense to investigate, he found no trace of an inn within a hundred-mile radius. Frowning, he thought, "That’s odd. In my past life, there was a town around here. Where has it gone? Could it be further ahead..."

Confounded, Yan Rufeng led Yi Mu towards Cangqing Mountain. As they flew over the mountain, Yan Rufeng still couldn’t find the town he remembered.

"Strange, what’s going on here?" Yan Rufeng mumbled to himself.

"Hehe..."

Yi Mu chuckled, "Brother Rufeng, what’s the matter?"

"Mumu, it seems we’ll have to spend the night here."

"Hehe!"

"Brother Rufeng, it’s no big deal. As cultivators, we don’t place much importance on such things. Let’s just find a place to meditate and rest."

Seeing Yi Mu laugh, Yan Rufeng said helplessly, "Mumu, I’ll have to trouble you for one night, then."

"Hehe..."

Yi Mu sweetly said, "Brother Rufeng, we’re family; don’t be so formal. I’m still waiting for you to become famous. If this counts as an inconvenience, how can I help you achieve greatness in the future?"

Yan Rufeng felt a warm sense of comfort upon hearing Yi Mu’s words and thought, "Though Mumu’s personality has changed in this life, she’s still so considerate..."

"Mumu, let’s find a cliff on this Cangqing Mountain and carve out a cave to rest in for the night!"

"Mm-hmm..."

At a cliff fifty miles from Dragon Abyss Sect, Yan Rufeng, hovering in mid-air, was about to carve out a cave when his Divine Sense suddenly detected dozens of people hastily making their way towards Dragon Abyss Sect in the distance.

Yan Rufeng murmured, "Why are there mortals around here..."

"Brother Rufeng, I noticed them too. Why are they rushing to Dragon Abyss Sect?" Yi Mu asked, puzzled.

Yan Rufeng smiled slightly, "Let’s go check it out. We’ll know soon enough."

The two descended to within a hundred meters of the group, concealed their auras, and followed them...

"Dragon Abyss Sect isn’t far ahead. Everyone, pick up the pace. We must reach Dragon Abyss Sect before dawn," a burly man shouted.

"Young Master, rest assured, we will reach Dragon Abyss Sect before dawn."

"Haha!"

The man let out a cold laugh.

"Our Zhu Family Ancestor has decreed that those who accompany me to Dragon Abyss Sect will be accepted as Outer Disciples. Move faster!"

"Haha..."

Someone laughed, "Young Master, I never thought we’d be accepted into Dragon Abyss Sect without the White Jade Arhat. We’re so fortunate."

"Haha..."

The Zhu Family Young Master laughed heartily, "Who would have thought that in this competition among the Five Major Families for Dragon Abyss Sect disciples, our Zhu Family would come out on top!"

"Hehe!"

Someone chuckled, "Young Master, won’t the other families go mad if they find out Dragon Abyss Sect is choosing disciples from us?"

"Haha!"

The Zhu Family Young Master let out a cold laugh, "Let them go mad! After this event, Dragon Abyss Sect will be under the Zhu name..."

"Haha..."

Yi Mu retracted her Divine Sense, frowned, and whispered, "Brother Rufeng, what’s going on?"

"It seems that Great Grandfather’s imprisonment by the Sect Master of Dragon Abyss Sect is connected to the Zhu Family..."

Yi Mu was stunned.

"Brother Rufeng, do you mean that the Zhu Family is behind the recent actions of the other three major families against my Yi Family?"

Yan Rufeng nodded.

Receiving Yan Rufeng’s affirmation, Yi Mu could no longer contain herself, unleashing a suffocating aura.

"Good! Zhu Family, now I’ll show you the consequences of scheming and plotting behind our backs..."

Yi Mu’s eyes widened angrily.

"Zheng..."

A sword light emitted a sonorous sound as it shot towards the Zhu Family members.

"Mumu, what are you doing?" Yan Rufeng asked urgently.

With murder in her eyes, Yi Mu screamed, "What am I doing? Of course, I’m killing them..."

"Mumu, retrieve your Flying Sword quickly; otherwise, it will be too late once Dragon Abyss Sect’s people notice!" Yan Rufeng hurriedly stopped her.

"Humph..."

Yi Mu snorted coldly, "You coward, speaking of fame in three years is nothing but wishful thinking!"

"Sigh..."

Yan Rufeng sighed, "Mumu, I will say it one more time, retrieve your Flying Sword!"

"Haha!"

Yi Mu retorted disdainingly, "Yan Rufeng, didn’t expect you to be such a coward. Since that’s the case, you don’t need to worry about rescuing my Great Grandfather from Dragon Abyss Sect. From now on, we will go our separate ways. You can go..."

Ignoring Yan Rufeng, Yi Mu leaped in front of the Zhu Family group.

"Who are you? What do you want..." a Zhu Family member asked timidly.

In her fury, Yi Mu said nothing and immediately released a burst of Spiritual Power towards the Flying Sword hovering before her.

Under the bright moonlight, the Flying Sword glinted coldly, emitting a sharp "zheng" before swiftly reaching the Zhu Family members.

Yi Mu’s Flying Sword relentlessly harvested the lives of the Zhu Family members.

Pleading voices, screams, and wails filled the air; soon enough, all sixty-plus Zhu Family members lay in pools of blood.

With bloodshot eyes, Yi Mu stepped on the Flying Sword, disregarding Yan Rufeng behind her, and sped towards Dragon Abyss Sect...

"Hah!"

With no other option, Yan Rufeng let out a bitter laugh and quickly followed Yi Mu.

Yan Rufeng’s attempt to stop Yi Mu from killing the Zhu Family members was because the site was too close to Dragon Abyss Sect. Even the slightest fluctuation in Spiritual Power could alert the Dragon Abyss Sect experts. He remembered that Dragon Abyss Sect had several Emergence Stage experts.

Of course, Yan Rufeng wasn’t afraid of them. Although his current cultivation couldn’t display Divine Separation Stage strength, his Hongmeng Saint Body allowed him to kill opponents above his level.

Yan Rufeng was mainly concerned about the Zhu Family Ancestor, a disciple of Dragon Abyss Sect. If Yi Mu used Spiritual Power to kill the Zhu Family members, it would undoubtedly attract the Dragon Abyss Sect experts, and the Zhu Family Ancestor would undoubtedly seek revenge.

If Yan Rufeng fought the Zhu Family Ancestor at the Dragon Abyss Sect’s location, the sect’s high levels would not stay idle. Yan Rufeng didn’t want to destroy Dragon Abyss Sect again, so he tried to stop Yi Mu.

With the Zhu Family members who came to join Dragon Abyss Sect now dead, the situation was dire. The Zhu Family Ancestor wouldn’t let it slide, but Yan Rufeng was confident that as long as they weren’t formally accepted disciples, he could handle the matter, even if Yi Mu wiped out the whole Zhu Family. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let Yi Mu act without intervening.

However, this was just one aspect and not the main reason Yan Rufeng didn’t save the Zhu Family members.
