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

Mu Yu's attitude was exceptionally firm, and Xuan Gu knew that he had no choice at all.

However, Xuan Gu was naturally unwilling to have all its value squeezed out like this.

"It seems you know a lot about me, fellow Daoist."

"Was this information obtained just from a soul search?"

"I do believe you are willing to join me in ambush and kill Ji Yin, but this deal... needs some kind of guarantee, right?"

Xuan Gu pondered for a moment, then tried to bargain with Mu Yu.

As for presenting fake martial arts techniques...

Don't joke around. If someone who has cultivated to their level can't even tell if a technique is complete, then there's no point in continuing to cultivate.

Even a cultivator like Ji Yin, who received the wrong cultivation method from the very beginning of his cultivation, would be able to realize the problems with the method after reaching the Core Formation stage.

Otherwise, why would Ji Yin and Ji Xuan choose to betray Xuan Gu after forming their core?

Could it be simply because of the traditions of the sect?

Moreover, after betraying him, Ji Yin only sealed him away. Even after he became a Nascent Soul cultivator, he did not dare to kill Xuan Gu completely after he formed his Nascent Soul.

All this is for the day when I am confident enough to obtain the complete Xuan Yin Scripture from Xuan Gu and resolve the flaws caused by my incorrect cultivation method.

It's important to know that there's a significant difference between the Core Formation stage and the Nascent Soul stage.

Even with all the preparations Mu Yu made thanks to his talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, he still wouldn't dare say he was absolutely certain of killing a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Under normal circumstances, Ji Yin should not have directly betrayed Xuan Gu. Instead, he should have acted like Ji Yin's disciple who founded the Yin Sha Sect, and fled after realizing something was wrong once he reached the Core Formation stage.

Of course, that guy didn't survive in the end either; he was expelled from the sect by the extreme Yin.

From this perspective, it seems that Ji Yin made the right decision.

The thought of the lineage of the Extreme Yin Island unconsciously came to mind, and a mocking smile appeared on Mu Yu's face.

"Guarantee? What trustworthy thing could someone like you possibly have?"

"Or what makes you think you have the right to ask me to make a guarantee?"

"I am not Han Li, I have a Heavenly Spiritual Root. The bargaining chips you hold are of no use to me."

"Either we fight to the death, or you hand over what I want. You choose. I don't have much patience."

Mu Yu spoke calmly, and seventy-two Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords surged forth all at once, setting up the Azure Origin Sword Formation in front of Xuan Gu.

Although Xuan Gu didn't know the name of the Azure Origin Sword Formation, he could see it clearly and sense that it was a sword formation.

The moment the sword formation was completed was the moment he died.

How could Xuan Gu be willing to die before seeing that traitor Ji Yin dead?

"Alright! I promise you, and I hope you will keep your promise."

After making up his mind, Xuan Gu no longer hesitated and threw the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng in his hand over, then handed over the things Mu Yu needed one by one.

Having handed over everything, Xuan Gu was prepared to fight to the death. If Mu Yu broke his promise, he would fight to the death...

Just as Xuan Gu was secretly vowing revenge, he saw Mu Yu retrieve the cyan flying swords one by one.

Mu Yu casually tossed the box containing the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng to Han Li and began to examine the things that Xuan Gu had sent over.

After confirming that there were no problems with the cultivation technique and that the auspicious and inauspicious talent did not give any ominous warnings, Mu Yu finally put it back into his storage bag with peace of mind.

"Let's go, the task of tracking down the extreme Yin is now in your hands."

"Kill Ji Yin, and our deal is done. Don't ever cross my line again."

After saying that, Mu Yu ignored Xuan Gu and took Han Li with him as they transformed into a beam of light and left.

Xuan Gu was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Mu Yu to actually intend to keep her promise.

Although he was 10% certain he could die together with his opponent, living was naturally the best option.

……

The three of them flew for several hours before finally arriving at a giant mountain that was thousands of feet high.

This mountain is exceptionally tall and extremely steep, but it has been bisected in two by some unknown force, forming a natural canyon.

Within that canyon, striking red and blue colors shimmered, with clear boundaries.

Judging from the looks of it, that canyon is the entrance to the Ice and Fire Path.

At this moment, all the Nascent Soul stage cultivators, including Ji Yin and Man Hu Zi, had arrived. Upon discovering Mu Yu's appearance, they exchanged glances with ulterior motives.

Clearly, these Nascent Soul stage cultivators must have reached some kind of cooperation, which is nothing more than a plan to divide Mu Yu's wealth.

Sure enough, not long after, Mu Yu heard a series of telepathic messages from Nascent Soul stage cultivators, the gist of which was to trick him into handing over some of the puppets as a condition for saving his life.

Of course, what those Nascent Soul stage cultivators said wasn't as explicit, but that was roughly the gist of it.

Mu Yu didn't care at all. As long as his talent for avoiding misfortune and seeking good fortune didn't give any bad omens, it was no big deal.

He dared to fool even the two Nascent Soul stage cultivators, the Star Palace Twin Saints, let alone the people in front of him.

Those unusually irritating voice transmissions continued for a long time, and Mu Yu finally waited for the Ice and Fire Path to open.

Perhaps it's to prevent people from going to the wrong place?

The entrance to the Ice and Fire Path actually has two stone tablets, one of which reads "Mystic Crystal Path" and the other reads "Lava Road".

Many Core Formation stage cultivators rushed into the Ice and Fire Path upon seeing it open, clearly unwilling to linger in a place teeming with Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

"Han Li, you go ahead first. Teleportation isn't possible within the Ice and Fire Path at the same time. I'll come find you if it's on my way."

After watching Han Li enter the Lava Road, Mu Yu took out a positioning magic artifact and tossed it to Xuan Gu, while reminding him:

"And you... take this. If you lose it, I'll kill you the next time we meet."

Such remarks naturally attracted the attention of many Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

This made Xuan Gu grit his teeth in hatred, fearing that his good disciple would discover his disguise at this moment.

Mu Yu was completely unconcerned about this and showed no intention of entering the Ice and Fire Path.

This situation disappointed the few Nascent Soul cultivators who had some ideas. They exchanged glances and then stepped into the Ice and Fire Path.

After all the Nascent Soul stage cultivators had entered, Mu Yu slowly walked towards the Lava Road.

Just now, the Yin Ancestor walked this path.

If one wants to assassinate the Extreme Yin Ancestor in the Ice and Fire Path, then one must choose the same path as him.

"Xuan Gu, you go in first. Once inside, look for traces of Ji Yin, and wait for me to find you."

Mu Yu transmitted his instructions to Xuan Gu.

Upon hearing that Mu Yu was actually going to hunt down Ji Yin, even Xuan Gu couldn't help but feel some admiration.

It should be noted that Mu Yu is not a cultivator like him who fell from the Nascent Soul stage; he is actually only at the late Core Formation stage.

With his Core Formation strength, Xuan Gu was actually quite looking forward to seeing what would happen if he went after a Nascent Soul cultivator.
