Chapter 969: Six Hundred Chapters Principle_2

Bug Saint.

Xu Yuan inexplicably recalled the Ancient Beast he had read about in the "Thousand Thorns Chronicle," but he felt that the Ancient Beast called Bug Saint probably wasn’t Mu Xingyi.

Because the Qi Machine on Mu Xingyi, although ferocious and terrifying, hadn’t yet reached a Saint’s level.

However, one could figure out with a bit of thought that there must be some kind of extremely close relationship between Mu Xingyi and the Bug Saint.

Damn it.

Dad is the Bug Saint, the wife is the Ghost Saint, and the son is some kind of ominous monster.

Could it be that Mu Xingyi is actually the true great calamity of the world?

When he returned, he would have Tianyan report him and have Jiatiange come and take a look.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan stared into the sandstorm and sped off into the distance.

Logically speaking,

given the aura that Mu Xingyi was currently displaying, handling a Primordial should not be too taxing for him, and the resulting repercussions should not harm him.

But the problem was, the trump card held by the Little Dragon Girl hadn’t been used yet.

Seeing Mu Xingyi appear unscathed before him, Xu Yuan confirmed this point.

Even if Mu Xingyi is of Mortal Transcendence or even a Semi-Saint, he could not remain unscathed in front of the Little Dragon Girl’s trump card.

Dragon Seal.

That figure known as Emperor Bai, the Lord of the Ancient Abyss, had inscribed a blow of his own onto the Little Dragon Girl with the Dragon Seal.

In "Cangyuan," this thing is known as First Meeting Kill.

Almost without any casting delay, it directly obliterated him three or four times with absolute damage values.

So, he needed to stay far away.

"Whirr—"

Thinking about these things, Xu Yuan suddenly heard a rustling sound of torn clothes passing by his ear.

At that moment,

he felt himself being picked up by the collar and lifted into the flying sand.

A hint of vigilance rose in his heart, but upon seeing the person who came, he relaxed again.

Tianyan.

Looking at the golden-pupiled girl with a stern face, carrying him and racing towards the distance, Xu Yuan frowned:

"Why have you come back?"

Tianyan didn’t answer but coldly countered,

"Why are you running so far away?"

Xu Yuan didn’t hide the reason, replying through voice transmission:

"That Little Dragon Girl has a trump card."

Tianyan glanced at Xu Yuan, her golden eyes carrying a hint of teasing:

"So, are you setting Mu Xingyi up?"

Seeing this, Xu Yuan rolled his eyes:

"This is part of the deal."

"At least you could warn him, considering you’ve mentioned this, you must have a countermeasure."

"What? Why are you speaking for him?"

"....."

Silence for a moment, Tianyan helplessly shook her head, and casually tossed Xu Yuan toward the cliff of the valley nearby, whispering:

"I thought you’d like Mu Xingyi considering your temperament, after all, he’s a principled man, even with absolute advantage, he didn’t bear any killing intent towards you, an Integration Body."

Xu Yuan stabilized his figure on landing, patted the sand off his body, and said with a helpless smile,

"If it’s possible to be friends, I don’t mind exchanging the Little Dragon Girl for that Willow Ghost Blade, but the problem is, I can’t be friends with him."

Tianyan blinked, asking with a light laugh:

"Why so?"

Xu Yuan glanced over towards the direction of the Nameless Mansion, his voice serenely continued,

"The real target of that Ghost Infant... is me, not that Willow Ghost Blade.

"Now, Mu Xingyi has misunderstood Lady Wan’s intentions. If he learns of this, he will surely strike me."

"...."

Interest flickered in the swirling golden pupils of Tianyan as she asked in a low voice,

"How do you know?"

Xu Yuan shrugged:

"Intuition inherent from my body."

Tianyan appeared somewhat surprised:

"Ha~ Since when did you start believing in such ethereal stuff?"

"Jeez, why so much nonsense."

Xu Yuan’s eyes rested on the girl beside him for the first time, whispering, "I didn’t even mention you yet, I asked you to leave first, then why suddenly... "

"Roar—"

Before he could finish,

a dragon’s roar burst forth in the valley of Burial Dragon Valley.

Xu Yuan instinctively turned his eyes, but due to his limited cultivation, he could only vaguely see an ancient dragon phantom emerge.

Then, a terrifying oppressive aura instantly enveloped an area of several miles, and Xu Yuan was immediately overwhelmed by this aura, struggling to breathe.

The ancient dragon phantom soared, circling in the sandstorm that covered the Sky Dome,

and when it reached a certain critical point, the sand stirred by the whirlwind seemed to pause.

Suddenly, everything turned unbearably quiet.

The next instant,

blinding white light burst forth,

and amidst the roaring wind, the air surged, ruthlessly sweeping the vast expanse of sand outward.

Then,

a gap appeared in the sandstorm, as shards of brilliant noon sunlight fell onto the ground.

Tianyan stood in the void, gazing into the distance, her pink palace dress fluttering noisily in the tremendous wind pressure.

She stared in that direction, her beautiful eyes brimming with golden light and a trace of contemplation.

In the surging Qi Wave amidst the wild wind, Xu Yuan barely held himself up, asking in a strained, low voice:

"What... what?"

Tianyan shook her head upon hearing this, smiling as she looked back:

"I said, it seems like your trading partner with Mu Xingyi has already fled."

"....."

After the wind swept past, the scorching desert sun cascaded down.

The imposing might of the Lord of the Ancient Abyss ended, Xu Yuan took a deep breath to ease his breathing, then looked up towards the center of the battlefield.

But within his sight was only a huge pit.

Raising an eyebrow, Xu Yuan asked in a low voice:

"Where’s Mu Xingyi?"

Tianyan cast her gaze behind Xu Yuan, saying:

"Well... behind you."

"...." Xu Yuan.

This playful tease startled Xu Yuan, who stared intently at Tianyan for a few moments before unconsciously curling his lips.

Slowly turning his eyes back, Xu Yuan directed his gaze towards the person behind him.

Mu Xingyi was indeed there.

He survived the absolute violence of the Lord of the Ancient Abyss.

However, his condition seemed not too good.

The armor-like layer covering his body was full of web-like cracks, slowly crumbling and falling off, and most of the assassins’ blade feet that had burst forth were broken.

Mu Xingyi’s face still bore that faint smile, as he calmly cleared the fragmented armor from his skin, quietly saying:

"I was just wondering why Brother Zhou ran so far away, now it seems he knew about that Demon Dragon’s trump card..."

Speaking,

Mu Xingyi noticed Xu Yuan’s wary gaze, and spoke in a gentle tone:

"Brother Zhou need not be nervous, I’ve only come to bid you farewell."

Xu Yuan looked at him with a peculiar expression, whispering:

"Xingyi, you really are good-natured."

Mu Xingyi shook his head:

"This deal was initiated by me coercively, if you hold resentment and wish to bait and switch, I can understand it, even if I die, it’s a consequence of my own actions."

Xu Yuan pondered upon hearing this, sighing lightly:

"Now, I’ve begun to admire you again, but ultimately you stole my weapon."

"Rather than bearing a grudge, think of it as a favor, I can lend Brother Zhou a hand once."

"Heh....."

Accompanied by a chuckle, Xu Yuan and Mu Xingyi both slightly bowed, extending their hands in front for a farewell gesture.

While the two persons were performing the farewell ritual,

an idle Tianyan suddenly cast her gaze toward the edge of the Sky Dome.

She stared in that direction with a smile curling on her lips.

And the next moment,

Mu Xingyi’s calm forehead suddenly furrowed momentarily.

He heard a message transmission from Wan’er.

After the ritual, Mu Xingyi straightened up, took a deep breath, and sighing said:

"Brother Zhou, you better leave quickly."

Xu Yuan instinctively looked up, and this time he saw a hint of killing intent in the other’s calm eyes, raising an eyebrow:

"Changing your mind?"

Mu Xingyi nodded affirmatively:

"Yes."

"....."

As the dust storm cleared by Emperor Bai’s strike gradually closed in again, the horizon was once more engulfed by the sand shards.

Xu Yuan frowned, trying to figure out what had caused Mu Xingyi’s drastic change in attitude.

But soon,

the figure of a slightly pregnant woman gradually emerging explained everything.

Mu Xingyi raised his hand to block the aggressive, advancing Lady Wan, saying in a low voice:

"Brother Zhou, I can give you one moment to escape."

Xu Yuan laughed upon hearing this:

"Give me one moment... Does it matter?"

"Of course it does."

"What?"

"It would make me feel better."

"...."

Xu Yuan glanced at Tianyan floating beside him.

She was now seated in the void, legs crossed, chin resting on her hand, her delicate bare feet swaying in the air.

Those golden pupils reflected a subtle hint of amusement.

And her composed demeanor soon caught the attention of Mu Xingyi and his wife.

Their gaze fell on the slender and graceful figure of the young lady.

Amidst the two watchful eyes,

Tianyan sighed lightly, straightened up in the void, and extended her fair, slender hand towards Mu Xingyi with a smile:

"Kid, return the knife to me, it’s something I lent him."
