Perhaps due to his innate talent, Mu Yu has always disliked fighting unprepared battles.

Whether it was killing Ji Yin, who was in the late stage of the Core Formation stage, or killing the Yin Luo Sect Master, who was in the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage, Mu Yu's preparations were quite thorough.

Another very important prerequisite is to seize the initiative and set up a formation.

Without setting up an array, the outcome of killing enemies of a higher level would be uncertain.

Therefore, Mu Yu does not actually believe that he has the ability to kill enemies of higher levels under normal circumstances.

Not to mention, this time Mu Yu is not just provoking one person, but a huge force comparable to the entire Tiannan cultivation world.

However, before fishing with the gold-eating beetle, Mu Yu needs to find a small thing first.

According to the information provided by the Sacred Bird of Mulan, the divided soul of the Cave Rat King has successfully descended to the mortal realm. Based on the timeline, that unfortunate fellow may have already been killed.

But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if he dies, as long as the secret cave is still there.

After spending a considerable amount of time, Mu Yu finally found a small caravan called the Heron Tribe among the extremely large tribute-bearing teams.

Has this caravan not encountered any other tribal caravans yet?

The timing seems a bit off!

All three were Nascent Soul stage cultivators. If they wanted to, they could do whatever they wanted right in front of these people without them noticing.

Although Han Li and Nangong Wan didn't know why Mu Yu wanted to hire a caravan from such a small mortal tribe, they still patiently followed behind.

After waiting for several days, the heron tribe's caravan finally met up with another caravan called the Red Wolf tribe.

Meanwhile, in the other party's convoy, Mu Yu finally spotted the unlucky fellow surnamed Feng.

He raised his hand, and an invisible magical force pulled him over.

"You are... a member of the Kong family..."

The eldest son of the Feng family, whose neck was being grabbed, had despair in his eyes.

"No, it's just that you're unlucky enough to have run into me."

"Just to clarify, I am a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. When I search your soul, please be careful not to resist."

"After all, even I'm not entirely confident that I won't turn you into an idiot during the soul search."

As Mu Yu spoke, she removed the silver key hanging around Young Master Feng's neck.

Upon hearing Mu Yu's words, the young man surnamed Feng's eyes immediately filled with despair, and he lost all will to resist.

This perfectly aligns with what Mu Yu said earlier.

The soul search ended quickly. Since there was little resistance and Mu Yu was careful with his strength, the young man surnamed Feng was not seriously injured.

"Well, I guess I was pretty lucky."

"Since you're not dead, then consider these spirit stones as my purchase of your Feng family's secret cave."

"Probably around six or seven hundred thousand, that should be enough for you."

"By the way, I'll take care of the pursuers behind you."

Mu Yu spoke, casually tossing out a sword beam.

The young man surnamed Feng had not yet recovered from the reality of his soul being searched.

In the blink of an eye, he saw Feng Zhen, who had been chasing him, appear in front of him, already without vital signs.

The soul search just now, coupled with the instant kill of a Core Formation cultivator, proves that this person is indeed a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, senior."

The young man surnamed Feng was quite sensible and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Yes, you should thank me for saving your life. I never expected that an ordinary Core Formation cultivator would have the Bitter Poison, one of the Ten Great Poisons, in his body."

As Mu Yu spoke, he released thirty-six flying purple-striped scorpions, each about an inch long, from his spirit beast pouch, letting them devour the bitter poison on Feng Zhen's body on their own.

These thirty-six flying purple-striped scorpions are naturally the descendants of the eighteen flying purple-striped scorpions obtained from the Fallen Demon Valley.

Although Mu Yu had long known that the production of Flying Purple-Striped Scorpions was extremely low, she never expected that even with a large amount of Rainbow Grass as feed, each pair of Flying Purple-Striped Scorpions would only produce four offspring.

This situation left Mu Yu feeling somewhat helpless.

Thirty-six is ​​fine. So much green liquid has been wasted; it should be put to good use.

It is indeed quite difficult for the thirty-six newly born Flying Purple-Striped Scorpions to devour the bitter poison among the Ten Deadly Poisons.

Shortly after they finished consuming it, they were all poisoned and fell ill.

But it's not a big problem. Mu Yu released the eighteen mature Flying Purple-Striped Scorpions, took out two drops of their life venom from each one, and injected them into the little scorpion. That should do it.

Next, all you need to do is let them absorb the nutrients while they are dormant.

Originally, Mu Yu had planned to give these little scorpions poison as their first meal, but when he went to find Marquis Nanlong, he discovered that the poison had already been used up when Marquis Nanlong was fleeing for his life.

"What! Bitter poison, this villain has indeed sided with the Kong family."

"senior……"

The young man surnamed Feng wanted to speak, but Mu Yu stopped him.

"Alright, I'm not some pushover. I'm already doing my limit by not killing you and even giving you something to trade with."

"If you push your luck any further, you have no reason to continue existing."

Upon hearing this, the young man surnamed Feng tactfully kowtowed and then turned to leave.

Seeing this, Mu Yu didn't mind. He turned around, greeted Han Li and his wife, and then the three of them left together.

……

After being away for an unknown amount of time, Nangong Wan finally couldn't hold back any longer and spoke:

"Senior Brother Mu, have we wasted several days just for something in the hands of a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

Nangong Wan's question was actually something that Han Li was also wondering about. Although Han Li had guessed something, he was not quite sure.

No matter what, this talent is just too extraordinary.

"It's very simple, because there's a way to dispel the evil energy in that Feng family's secret cave."

"As for how I know this, you can think of it as me being able to see parts of the future."

Mu Yu gave a simple explanation, which, although incomplete, could not be considered a lie.

Han Li had never told Nangong Wan about Mu Yu's talent.

Therefore, Han Li was somewhat surprised when he heard Mu Yu actually say it.

Nangong Wan was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then turned to look at Han Li.

Now that Mu Yu had spoken up, Han Li saw no need to hide it any longer and nodded to Nangong Wan.

At this moment, everything that had seemed illogical to Nangong Wan before suddenly became reasonable.

Nodding to Mu Yu, Nangong Wan did not say anything more.

After traveling for a while longer, Mu Yu discovered a Nascent Soul cultivator at the edge of his divine sense probe. Thus, the three of them began their grand spectacle of fishing with gold-devouring insects.

"That is..."

"Gold-Eating Insect!!!"

"This quantity..."

"Who are you? Come with me to see the Holy Maiden!"

The moment this Nascent Soul cultivator saw the Gold-Eating Insect, he immediately spoke without any regard for the fact that there were three beings of the same level as him in front of him.

Ignoring the man's words, Mu Yu calmly said to Han Li, "Kill him..."

Upon hearing this, the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Tuwu tribe realized something was wrong and tried to escape, but it was too late.

With Han Li using various supernatural abilities, he quickly defeated the Nascent Soul stage expert of the Tuwu clan, causing his physical body to disintegrate.

Just as the opponent was preparing to use his Nascent Soul to teleport away, Mu Yu released the Myriad Soul Banner, which devoured the opponent's Nascent Soul.

As for fishing...

Mu Yu had already let the special transmission talisman released by the other party escape, so why would he leave the other party's nascent soul behind?

"If you don't release that transmission talisman, I might consider letting go of your nascent soul."

"You could say you're just unlucky!"

After saying a few words to the struggling Nascent Soul within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, Mu Yu, fearing that the Tuwu tribe's pursuers would not be able to find him, promptly released the Nine Dragons Wind Chariot.

"It's time to go; we'll be hunted down from here on out."

"However, it shouldn't be a big problem!"

……

Three days later, the Tuwu tribe ambushed them in the direction Mu Yu and his companions were heading.

There were a total of six Nascent Soul stage experts, two of whom had reached the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

As soon as the battle began, the two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators from the Tuwu clan approached Mu Yu and Han Li respectively, while the remaining four prepared to join forces against Nangong Wan.

Under normal circumstances, the Turks' plan should not have any major problems.

However, they clearly did not anticipate that Mu Yu and Han Li's strength had already surpassed that of ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

In a single exchange, Mu Yu unleashed two flames simultaneously from the Yin-Yang Five Fire Fan in his hand, instantly killing the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in front of him.

Those below the late Nascent Soul stage are simply no match for the spiritual fire within the Yin-Yang Five Fires Fan.

"The fusion of corpse fire and will-o'-the-wisp isn't particularly powerful!"

Seeing the Nascent Soul that the other party had run out, Mu Yu looked at the Yin-Yang Five Fire Fan in his hand with some dissatisfaction.

"However, this is for the best, at least we won't waste a Nascent Soul."

The next moment, the Myriad Soul Banner was unleashed, and thousands of demonic spirits, carrying overwhelming demonic energy, directly formed a counter-encirclement against the several Nascent Soul stage cultivators in front of them.

Upon witnessing such a horrifying scene, not only was Nangong Wan, who didn't know much about Mu Yu, startled, but even Han Li was taken aback.

In particular, among those demonic spirits, there were actually several beings comparable to those at the Nascent Soul stage...

In an instant, a clash between various spells and demonic energy appeared within the dense demonic mist.

The entire exchange lasted only about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.

Throughout the entire battle, except for the very beginning, Han Li and Nangong Wan barely made a move.

More precisely, these Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Tuwu tribe only lasted for about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea before Mu Yu killed them all, and even their Nascent Souls were absorbed into the Myriad Soul Banner.

"Hiss~ I ate a bit too much again. It looks like the Myriad Soul Banner won't be usable for a while. I'll have to figure out a solution to this problem in a bit."

Actually, it's not that it can't be used, but doing so would waste the nascent soul absorbed into the Myriad Soul Banner.

"Young Mu, I admit I was wrong. With your strength, you are absolutely qualified to wipe out the entire Tuwu clan."

Ten thousand years ago, although the spiritual energy in the human realm had begun to weaken, it had not yet reached the point it is today.

As a Grand Divine Lord in the late Nascent Soul stage, he had naturally seen geniuses who were no less than himself.

But no genius can reach this level!

With Mu Yu's current combat strength, if he were to harden his heart and go on a killing spree in the Mulan Grassland, launching sneak attacks one by one, it would be very possible to wipe out all the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Tuwu people.

Of course, it's only a possibility.

Even if Mu Yu were truly willing to risk everything and waste time, he could probably only kill a third of them at most. After that, the remaining Nascent Soul cultivators would completely band together and never come out again.

"The opponent simply doesn't have a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in charge. If they did, it wouldn't be so easy to kill them."

After giving a brief explanation, Mu Yu ignored the Great Evolution Divine Lord and instead tidied up the battlefield, feeding the corpses to the Gold-Eating Insects before continuing on his way.

These corpses have already been consumed by the demonic spirits within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, so they are not of much value. Moreover, Mu Yu doesn't particularly like those time-consuming corpse refining processes.

On the way, Han Li tentatively inquired about the Myriad Soul Banner, and Mu Yu readily sent Han Li the method for making the Myriad Soul Banner.

After reading it, Han Li never mentioned it again.

Soul-Nourishing Wood and Spirit Eye Tree are fine, but making a banner using a cultivator's Nascent Soul supplemented with rare and precious materials containing spatial supernatural powers is difficult, but still acceptable.

But Han Li could never possibly gather one or two million living souls.

He wasn't Mu Yu, who could so skillfully eliminate three Nascent Soul stage experts from the Yinluo Sect and steal their three sect-protecting treasures—the Ghost Banner!

Not to mention, the difficulty of refining this treasure almost surpasses that of those legendary spiritual treasures.

In fact, Han Li's feeling was correct.

If the Myriad Soul Banner hadn't become Mu Yu's natal magic weapon as a Nascent Soul cultivator, it would certainly have been able to create the Tongbao Technique after its successful crafting.

However, in terms of the attack power of the magic weapon, this treasure has now surpassed Mu Yu's original natal magic weapon.

However, if the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword were to set up the Azure Origin Sword Formation, that would be a different story.

……

For the next few days, Mu Yu and his companions did not encounter any further ambushes. This situation was obviously not normal. Where did all the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators of the Tuwu clan go?

Unless, they have something more important to do.

Mu Yu retrieved a nascent soul from the Myriad Souls Banner that had not yet been refined into a demonic spirit, and began searching its soul.

The final news left Mu Yu speechless.

Qinglan, you're really a pain in the ass!

No wonder the Mulan clan couldn't defeat the Tuwu. They can even get this kind of information wrong. Can't you do anything else?

It seems we still can't trust others too much, especially treacherous people like the Mulan people.

I had previously thought that the appearance of the Heavenly Azure Sacred Beast had been brought forward.

Fortunately, they discovered halfway there that the Tuwu tribe's so-called Spirit Opening Day had not officially begun yet, otherwise they might have missed the secret cave key from the young man surnamed Feng.

Well, although there was a slight accident, it's not a big problem. It'll just take another ten days or so.

Perhaps that's why my innate talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune didn't provide any indication.

In just over ten days, they couldn't possibly leave the Mulan Grassland.

The entire Mulan Grassland covers a vast area. Even if Mu Yu were to travel at a very fast speed, it would still take him nearly a year to traverse it.

Of course, the process is now more than halfway complete, and it will only take a few months to reach Dajin.

After about half a month of peace, they were finally pursued by the Tuwu tribe again on this day.

This time, the Tuwu tribe mobilized a considerable number of people. Among them, Mu Yu could sense two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and there were more than twenty others, including early-stage and mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist Mu, hand over the Gold-Eating Insect in your possession, and we may also allow you to leave safely."

Among the pursuers behind him, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator spoke from hundreds of kilometers away, his voice reaching Mu Yu's ears.

Upon seeing this, Mu Yu immediately stopped the Nine Dragons Wind Chariot and began setting up an array in front of everyone.

Two Nascent Soul stage cultivators with relatively fast escape speeds arrived immediately and attempted to attack Mu Yu.

However, several Nascent Soul stage puppets managed to block the attack.

Although Mu Yu only brought thirty-five Nascent Soul stage puppets with him on this trip, it was enough to buy him some time.

Soon, Mu Yu successfully set up the Five Elements Reversal Formation.

At this moment, the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Tuwu tribe also surrounded Mu Yu and his two companions.

"Fellow Daoist Mu, I truly do not understand. What is the purpose of setting up such a tortoise shell in our Tuwu tribe's territory?"

"Do you really think that this formation alone can save your life?"

"You'd better be sensible and hand over the Gold-Eating Insects you have, then explain where they came from and tell us how to expand their numbers, and we'll let you go freely, how about that?"

"How about we swear an oath by our inner demons to this matter?"

This late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from the Tuwu tribe, surnamed Hu, was clearly quite sincere.

Perhaps, they were afraid that Mu Yu, having nowhere else to turn, would destroy the Gold-Eating Insects before he died.

After all, immature gold-eating beetles are still quite easy to kill.

"It's still quite far from Tiannan."

"But since you've already found out my name, haven't you found out my battle record?"

Mu Yu slowly walked out of the Inverted Five Elements Formation, with Han Li following behind him.

Nangong Wan doesn't have any escape techniques like lightning escape, and she hasn't broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm yet. It would be very dangerous for her to be in this level of chaotic battle, so she should stay in the Inverted Five Elements Formation for the time being.

The Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Tuwu clan were somewhat surprised to see that Mu Yu dared to walk out of the formation.

They were well aware of Mu Yu's battle record; otherwise, the cultivator surnamed Hu wouldn't have resorted to violence instead of offering advice.

But no matter how impressive his past achievements were, Mu Yu is now only a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

There are more than twenty Nascent Soul stage experts here, including two late-stage Nascent Soul stage experts. How could we not defeat him?

Another young man surnamed Xu, who was standing next to the cultivator surnamed Hu, spoke up. He was also a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator and a true prodigy of the Tuwu tribe. He had cultivated to the late-stage Nascent Soul stage at a young age and showed signs of becoming a Divine Transformation cultivator.

"Brother, why waste words with him? I refuse to believe that with so many people, we can't catch him."

"At worst, we can just perform a soul search afterwards."

Faced with the threat from the young man surnamed Xu, Mu Yu remained nonchalant and said:

"Fellow Daoist Xu, you're being far too hasty. I never said I wouldn't give you the Gold-Devouring Insects..."

"However, I can give you the Gold-Eating Insects, but I need two items in exchange."

"First, I want the method for cultivating mature Gold-Eating Insects; second, I want the Heavenly Azure Sacred Beast."

Upon hearing this, the Tuwu tribe was immediately enraged.

Even the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator surnamed Hu, who had originally wanted to talk further, lost interest in continuing the conversation. A giant, five-colored hand slammed down on them.
