After a round of commotion.

Mu Jinyu and the Little Phoenix reached an agreement. If Mu Jinyu could obtain more Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures in the future, the Li Fire God Furnace would be given to her.

If the Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures he acquired were limited, then the Little Phoenix would eventually have to return the Li Fire God Furnace to him.

It wasn't that Mu Jinyu was stingy, calculating with the Little Phoenix.

But Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures aren't ordinary magic artifacts. There aren't many intact ones available in the entire Kunlun Ruins, each of which is a renowned sect-protecting treasure.

Such items, he currently has only eight in hand. The Dragon Spear and the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron are completely bound to him and cannot be given away.

Since they are given to Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan, he can't favor one over another when he returns. Naturally, he must also give to Gu Xiyan, Mei Yinxue, Xu Qingya, Yu Linglong, Lin Qiaoxia, and his mother Su Zijin...

This would at least require eight Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures altogether.

The Kunlun Ruins have various major forces, but not every force possesses Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures as their strongest foundation. Some forces with such treasures have no enmity with him, so he has no reason to kill and plunder them just for the treasures.

So Mu Jinyu made the agreement with the Little Phoenix. If at that time, he could obtain several Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures from the hands of forces he had enmity with, then the Li Fire God Furnace could be given to it.

But if not, then the Li Fire God Furnace would have to be returned to him, and he would find a top-grade spiritual treasure for it instead.

The Little Phoenix agreed reluctantly in the end.

Afterward, Mu Jinyu helped them refine three Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures.

When Mu Jinyu refined the Bi Fang Cauldron earlier, his cultivation was still weak, at the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm, not even at the Fanxu Realm, so it was especially difficult.

But now, his cultivation had reached the mid-stage of the Unity Realm, and refining the Dragon Spear and Dragon Phoenix Cauldron, even without the help of the Silkworm King, he could complete the refining quickly.

Therefore, his assisting was just like the Silkworm King helping him refine the Dragon Spear, and the two women and one beast quickly suppressed the artifact spirits in their respective Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, recognizing them as their masters.

This was because these three Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures were currently ownerless. Otherwise, if Wu Xiongfei and others were still alive, even if Mu Jinyu seized their weapons, he couldn't immediately erase their marks on the Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures and have the artifact spirits recognize others as masters.

The two women and the beast successfully subdued the Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, and Mu Jinyu asked them to go back to rest and adapt. After they left, he called in the Chen Family Ancestor and the three old servants.

"Come, use these three Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures for now."

Once Mu Jinyu saw them come over nervously, he took out the Purple Gold Divine Thunder Hammer, Bronze Halberd, and Divine Formation Disc and spoke slowly.

"Hmm?!"

"This..."

The three were stunned on the spot upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, not expecting him to decide to give them the Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures.

Seeing their reaction, Mu Jinyu knew they misunderstood and said, "I'm not giving them to you permanently, just letting you use them for the time being. After all, this time, settling the score with enemies won't be too smooth; holding onto the Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures gives you a better chance."

He wasn't sure if the Heavenly Palace would step in when he settled scores with the Divine Formation Sect and others, or continue to remain indifferent as before.

But whether or not the Heavenly Palace would intervene, he was ready to investigate the truth of the past at the Heavenly Palace thoroughly.

This action essentially meant he was about to clash directly with the Heavenly Palace, and he was concerned about being outnumbered. Giving the three idle Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures to the three old servants to enhance their combat strength was a form of utilizing resources effectively.

And if he could collect more Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures at the Heavenly Palace, and these three old servants made substantial contributions, he wouldn't mind eventually rewarding them with those three Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures.

After all, treasures like the Purple Gold Hammer and Bronze Halberd might not be appealing to Gu Xiyan and the others.

"Thank you, master."

Even knowing it was temporary, the three were still very pleased and quickly knelt down to express their gratitude.

Mu Jinyu then also mentioned that should they make significant contributions, there was the possibility of rewarding them with the Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures in the future, which made them more excited.

Later, they took their orders and left to refine their Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures.

After all, while their combat strength couldn't match Mu Jinyu's, their cultivation was actually higher than his, at the late stage of the Unity Realm, so they didn't need his help. Instead, they could refine the Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures even faster.

The next day.

Mu Jinyu said farewell to Xie Yuan, Xie Chenkun, Ji Li, and others, taking only the Chen Family Ancestor and three old servants as he departed from the Heavenly Sword Faction.

As for Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan, Mu Jinyu asked them to remain in the Heavenly Sword Faction.

At that time, Mu Jinyu left the Heavenly Sword Faction to attend the Hidden Dragon Conference, bringing them along in hopes of resolving the soul-seizing issue promptly once a solution was found.

Moreover, he wasn't at odds with the world at that time.

Traveling with them was naturally no problem.

But circumstances have changed now. He now had a solution for the soul-seizing issue, needing just four kinds of spiritual medicine to resolve it, so there was no need for them to follow him everywhere.

Plus, he was about to confront the Heavenly Palace, so bringing them along would be inappropriate.

After leaving the Heavenly Sword Faction.

Mu Jinyu once again set foot on the path to the Divine Formation Sect.

Yet this time, his mood was entirely different from a few days ago.

Back then, he headed to the Divine Formation Sect because the Heavenly Sword Faction was besieged by the Divine Formation Sect, and he, furious, went to steal from their home before returning to rescue the Heavenly Sword Faction.

But now, the Heavenly Sword Faction was no longer under constant threat of being breached by enemies. He had no such worries, only anger at the innocent people who died tragically because of him, seeking to settle these accounts one by one.

The Divine Formation Sect's sect-protecting treasure, the Divine Formation, was now also in his hands.

Such contrasting outcomes truly make one reflect on the unpredictability of life.

Half a day later.

Mu Jinyu arrived outside the gates of the Divine Formation Sect at Five Finger Mountain again.

This time, he didn't need to sneak in stealthily; he could attack openly.

But even if he wanted to sneak in again, it wouldn't be possible.

For after Jing Haosi's death, once the Divine Formation Sect learned of it, the entire sect became apprehensive, fearing his return for revenge and had long since fully activated their mountain protection array's ultimate defense system, preparing for his return to settle accounts.

"He... has arrived!"

As Mu Jinyu confidently appeared outside the mountain gate with three late-stage Unity Realm old servants, the ever-vigilant Divine Formation Sect quickly discovered them.

The Second Elder was extremely nervous.

Now that both major Unity Realm powers of the Divine Formation Sect, the Sect Leader and Great Elder, were dead, facing Mu Jinyu's aggressive onslaught, he truly didn't know what to do, unsure if the Divine Formation Sect could withstand Mu Jinyu's revenge!

"I give you a chance, open the Mountain Protection Array and hand over those who schemed to implicate innocents. I may show leniency towards you!"

Mu Jinyu stood before Five Finger Mountain, hands behind his back, speaking indifferently.

As he spoke, the Second Elder immediately turned his head, his gaze fixed intently on the Great Elder's grandson, Zhang Huairen.

The plan against Mu Jinyu, implicating innocents and the malicious decision to make Mu Jinyu torment himself to death, all originated from him.

If the Great Elder were still alive, even if Mu Jinyu attacked, he couldn't easily hand Zhang Huairen over to Mu Jinyu as an explanation.

But with the Great Elder dead, if the Divine Formation Sect wished to quench Mu Jinyu's anger and preserve the sect, handing over the culprit Zhang Huairen might be the best decision.
