Mortal: Even with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, I still have to try and get my hands on the Little Gree

Mu Yu had discussed the matter of this spirit stone mine with Elder Linghu a long time ago.

The safest way to hide a secret is to put it in the light of day.

Therefore, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Elder Linghu should not destroy this spirit stone mine.

Meanwhile, the destroyed spirit stone mine was also a message that Linghu Patriarch was conveying to Mu Yu, that is, he needed to be careful.

Therefore, on his way back to Huangfeng Valley, Mu Yu lowered his aura to the early stage of Foundation Establishment and used an inconspicuous mid-level flying artifact for flight.

Along the way, Mu Yu found a small market town and inquired about the current situation in the Yue Kingdom.

From several Qi Refining stage cultivators, Mu Yu learned about the demonic invasion and... the joint attack on Spirit Beast Mountain by the six sects.

Mu Yu was well aware of the demonic invasion, and he was also well aware that Spirit Beast Mountain was a traitor.

But the siege of Spirit Beast Mountain by the six major sects is a novel event.

Mu Yu wanted to find out more details, but unfortunately the Qi Refining stage disciple who asked the question was too weak and didn't know much about these things.

Without trying to ask anyone else, since Elder Linghu was alright and Huangfeng Valley hadn't fled far at this time, it should be fine to reveal his Golden Core cultivation.

The next moment, Mu Yu transformed into a streak of azure light and flew towards the location of Yellow Maple Valley.

The journey was very safe, and there were no unexpected incidents.

After Mu Yu returned to Huangfeng Valley, he first went to Sect Leader Zhong to find out what was going on.

The answer they received was that Ancestor Linghu was not there; apart from those who were in seclusion, there was only one Core Formation stage cultivator from the Chen family left in the entire Yellow Maple Valley.

Under the guidance of Sect Leader Zhong, Mu Yu met this Core Formation stage cultivator from the Chen family.

"Senior Brother Chen, I just returned from an outing. What happened at the sect?"

Upon seeing the Core Formation cultivator surnamed Chen, Mu Yu immediately began to inquire.

As for why they didn't ask Sect Leader Zhong...

His cultivation level was too low. Although he was nominally a sect leader, he was actually just a errand boy. Sect Leader Zhong was not qualified to know about such important matters concerning Huangfeng Valley.

From the Core Formation cultivator surnamed Chen, Mu Yu learned the specific details of the massacre of the Spirit Beast Mountain sect.

There's not much to say. Once the fact that Ling Beast Mountain was found to be a traitor is discovered, it will naturally be besieged by the six major sects.

Among them, the two Nascent Soul stage elders of Spirit Beast Mountain were ambushed and surrounded by six Nascent Soul stage cultivators. One of them died on the spot, while the other escaped with his Nascent Soul leaving his body.

After more than half of the cultivators from Spirit Beast Mountain were killed in battle, they were taken away by Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Spirit Control Sect.

The remaining assets and territory of Spirit Beast Mountain were completely divided up by the six major sects.

After resolving the matter of Spirit Beast Mountain, the next step is to fight against the invading demonic forces.

Currently, most of the combat power of the six major sects has appeared near the battlefield. In addition, there are some Nascent Soul stage cultivators from other countries watching the battle.

Yes, that's right, just watching.

The demonic forces invaded the Yue Kingdom, their aim naturally being to seize resources and territory.

As for sects from other countries, they naturally wouldn't come to help unless they had sufficient benefits.

The six major sects of Yue Kingdom could not offer something that would enable them to fully oppose the interests of the six demonic sects.

Fortunately, sects in other countries understand the principle that "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."

If possible, they would naturally prefer the battle to be contained within the territory of Yue, in order to avoid suffering losses themselves.

In this way, the problem at the top level is solved.

A delicate balance was maintained among the Nascent Soul stage monsters, while the cultivators below fought each other to the death.

As for what the Yue Kingdom will eventually become, no one can predict.

However, it was clear that this environment was not suitable for Mu Yu's peaceful cultivation. After a little thought, Mu Yu made a decision.

……

After learning of Han Li's whereabouts from Sect Leader Zhong, Mu Yu set off for the vicinity of the main battlefield.

The main battlefield between the six factions of Yue Kingdom and the six sects of the Demonic Path is a place called Jingu Plain near Cheqi Kingdom.

When Mu Yu arrived here, the first person he saw was naturally Elder Linghu.

"Disciple, what are you doing here?"

When Linghu Laozu saw Mu Yu, his brows furrowed slightly.

At this time, a delicate balance had been formed between the six factions of Yue Kingdom and the six sects of the Demonic Path. The disappearance of Spirit Beast Mountain did not have a significant impact on the overall battle situation.

If there are no major changes in the combat power of the Nascent Soul stage, the situation should remain at a stalemate until one side can no longer bear it.

The current situation is that a major battle is fought every month, with thousands of cultivators acting as if they are putting on a show, pouring their spiritual power and spells into the formation.

Then, on ordinary days, it's just scattered cultivators attacking each other.

"I'm looking for someone, Master, you should know them."

Mu Yu spoke casually, while looking at the battlefield of Jingu Plain with some curiosity.

Today, it happened to be the day of the monthly major battle agreed upon by both sides. More than two thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators were engaged in a chaotic battle, which was quite a spectacular sight.

However, although it looked spectacular, both sides had protective barriers between them. This level of war was more like a fireworks display than a real battle.

Only when the formation malfunctions occasionally will unlucky individuals be affected and die.

"Master, isn't this kind of war a bit too frivolous?"

Mu Yu asked with some curiosity.

Linghu Patriarch was speechless upon hearing this, but could only offer an explanation:

"What war? This is just a place for the six demonic sects to gather the resentment and primordial spirits of cultivators for their little brats."

"Our Yue Kingdom's six sects only had nine... now there are only seven Nascent Soul stage cultivators left."

"With this number of Nascent Soul stage cultivators, we can't even compare to a single sect among the six major demonic sects."

"If it weren't for other countries and those Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the righteous path siding with them, the Yue Kingdom would have been taken over by the demonic path long ago."

"The current situation is just giving the six sects of the demonic path some benefits, allowing them to gain some advantages."

Linghu Laozu's voice was somewhat wistful, clearly showing his helplessness in the face of this situation where the situation was beyond his control.

Linghu Patriarch's words made Mu Yu realize that those Foundation Establishment cultivators were nothing more than consumables.

No wonder almost all the Core Formation stage cultivators from Huangfeng Valley came out, while the Foundation Establishment stage disciples with exceptional talent stayed in the sect to cultivate.

"Master, call Han Li out. I don't care about anyone else, but he's my good friend. He can't die over something so trivial."

Mu Yu showed no politeness and made a request to Elder Linghu.

Upon hearing this, Elder Linghu paused for a moment, but said nothing and directly transmitted his voice to Li Huayuan.

Before long, Li Huayuan appeared in front of Mu Yu carrying Han Li.

"If there's nothing else, go back to your sect and cultivate in seclusion. This place doesn't need your help, you little brat."

When Linghu Patriarch saw Han Li appear, he spoke to Mu Yu in an annoyed tone.

Faced with Linghu Patriarch's instructions, Mu Yu readily agreed, but he wouldn't leave so easily.

In fact, if Han Li hadn't appeared here, Mu Yu wouldn't have stepped into such a dangerous place.

Just before Linghu Patriarch appeared, Mu Yu's talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune had already alerted him to the gazes of many Nascent Soul stage elders. One wrong step and his life would be in danger.

"Okay, I'll go back now."

"But Master... do you have any more invisible needle talismans? I've used them all..."

Upon hearing Mu Yu's words, Elder Linghu was speechless for a moment, but he could only send a telepathic message to someone in the Hidden Moon Sect's position.

Before long, an old man with clean and tidy clothes, but a dirty and greasy appearance, appeared next to Mu Yu.

"This must be Junior Brother Mu? He's quite the handsome young man!"

Old Monster Qiong spoke, and at the same time took out three invisible needle talismans from his sleeve and handed them to Mu Yu.
