After finishing the meal.

Mu Jinyu refused his master's reluctant attempts to keep him, and then took the group of women back to the Chen Family in the Southwestern Region.

Upon arriving at the Chen Family.

Mu Jinyu caught up with the Chen Family Ancestor, while Wen Rou introduced everyone to her mother, Chen Shuyi.

Seeing her daughter return, Chen Shuyi was very excited. However, upon seeing Su Zijin and Gu Xiyan, her expression became a bit awkward.

Recalling their first meeting years ago, she was aggressive at that time, even wanting to hit Su Zijin...

Now seeing them again, how could Chen Shuyi not feel embarrassed and ashamed?

"Hello, mother-in-law." Su Zijin, however, did not confront Chen Shuyi and greeted her gracefully.

"Hello, hello..." Chen Shuyi, seeing that Su Zijin did not show any hostility, was immediately filled with gratitude and greeted her.

"Aunt Chen..." Gu Xiyan and the group of women didn't want to make things difficult for Wen Rou, so they all greeted Chen Shuyi kindly.

Seeing this, Wen Rou felt deeply moved and grateful in her heart.

After chatting leisurely with the Chen Family Ancestor, Mu Jinyu joined the women in the courtyard and asked, "I plan to make a trip to the Northern Plains. Do you want to stay here with Mother Chen Yue, or do you want to go with me to the Northern Plains?"

The women thought for a moment, and Su Zijin shook her head, saying, "I won't go. Running around all the time is too tiring, so I'll stay and chat with mother-in-law."

Gu Xiyan and the others agreed, leaving only Jian Ruyan wanting to go with Mu Jinyu to the Northern Plains.

Because Jian Ruyan vaguely guessed that Mu Jinyu's purpose in going to the Northern Plains was likely to forge the Heaven-reaching Treasured Sword for her, she couldn't just sit idly by and wait for good news to come.

So naturally, she wanted to follow and see if she could help.

"Okay, then let's set off."

Mu Jinyu did not refuse Jian Ruyan's request, and after bidding farewell to the others, he set off once again for the Northern Plains.

Within half a day.

Mu Jinyu, bringing Jian Ruyan, returned to the Northern Plains, and following his memory, he found the Hanchi Tribe.

"Brother!"

Mu Jinyu flickered and quickly descended from the air into the Hanchi Tribe, greeting the clan leader, the Barbarian King, warmly.

"Younger Brother Mu!"

The Barbarian King was just about to be on guard after sensing a void fluctuation when he saw Mu Jinyu appear in front of him. He immediately lowered his guard and said happily.

"Younger Brother Mu, you came again. I found that we're fine, and it seems the remnants of the Blood Witch Clan are dead—haven't appeared again."

The Barbarian King thought Mu Jinyu had returned after a few months out of concern for them and was very moved.

"Yes, I asked my master about it, and he told me about it as well." Mu Jinyu nodded.

At this moment, Jian Ruyan also floated down from the air.

The Barbarian King looked back a few times and, finding no other figures, asked slightly disappointedly, "Did Nai Mucha not return?"

Mu Jinyu shook his head, "I came back this time because I have other things to do. Also, not knowing your situation here, it wasn't appropriate to bring him over."

"I understand..." The Barbarian King nodded in understanding.

If, after Mu Jinyu left, these Northern Plains barbarians were all killed by the remnants of the Blood Witch Clan, but Nai Mucha, a fellow tribesman, lived, Jing Wang still couldn't leave the Northern Plains due to curse oaths.

Therefore, Mu Jinyu's return and his cautious decision not to bring Nai Mucha was wise. If they were recklessly brought back and Jing Wang succeeded, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So the Barbarian King understood Mu Jinyu's choice very well.

Mu Jinyu hesitated and asked, "Barbarian King, since you said there's no danger on your side, and if the remnants of the Blood Witch Clan are indeed dead, should I... bring Nai Mucha back directly?"

The Barbarian King was tempted when he heard this, thinking it over. Nai Mucha was a talented elite of the Hanchi Tribe, practically a candidate for the next clan leader.

But in the end, the Barbarian King shook his head, "We're still not sure if those remnants are truly dead. Anyway, I'm still alive, so let Nai Mucha continue learning from you and return in a few years."

"Okay." Mu Jinyu nodded in agreement.

Then Mu Jinyu mentioned his purpose for coming this time and asked, "By the way, big brother, do you know if there are any ice attribute demon beasts nearby, preferably at the Demon Emperor level...?"

Demon Emperor level means Rank Four Demonic Beast, equivalent to a Unity Realm master in the human realm!

If such an entity existed, the barbarians would surely know.

Jian Ruyan stood silently on the side, but her eyelashes slightly trembled. She knew in her heart that Mu Jinyu was indeed here to forge a sword for her, and a mysterious emotion stirred within her.

The Barbarian King frowned slightly at Mu Jinyu's question, thought for a moment, and shook his head, "Around here, there don't seem to be any demon beasts, let alone a Demon Emperor. The only dangerous place is the Extremely Cold Hell. Last time we went together, it did seem to have quite a few ice attribute spirit beasts. But, I checked it out recently, and the Extremely Cold Hell has been sealed off, we can't enter now."

"Yes, I am aware of that." Mu Jinyu nodded.

How could he not know? The ice sealing of the Extremely Cold Hell occurred when he and Yin Li returned there, and the Qilin Beast told Yin Li not to return. After they left, the Qilin Beast sealed it off.

However, even if the Extremely Cold Hell hadn't been completely sealed, with many ancient Spirit Beasts frozen inside, he would feel uneasy destroying the ice to harvest their souls for refinement!

After all, they were connected to Yin Li in some way.

The Barbarian King finished speaking, feeling he couldn't help Mu Jinyu much and, feeling slightly guilty, added, "However, this isn't the deepest part of the Northern Plains. If you go deeper, I remember there's the Liuyun Tribe—they might know the situation over there..."

"Brother, should we head over together and ask?"

The Barbarian King spoke sincerely.

Actually, during their last journey to explore the Extremely Cold Hell, Mu Jinyu gifted him the Hedao Fruit, which was very valuable, and he felt undeserving of such generosity.

However, the Hedao Fruit was indeed beneficial to their people, and he couldn't refuse it and eventually accepted it with a thick face.

Now, with another opportunity to assist Mu Jinyu, the Barbarian King was eager to help further and validate his acceptance of the fruit.

"Will it be troublesome?" Mu Jinyu asked, feeling moved by the offer.

The situation with the Barbarians wasn't too clear for him to go to the Liuyun Tribe rashly. They might not be willing to help, and there could even be hostility. However, with the Barbarian King accompanying him, things would likely go much smoother.

The Barbarian King waved his hand and laughed heartily, "It's nothing at all. I haven't been too busy lately, just looking to find any surviving remnants of the Blood Witch Clan. I even went to check out the Extremely Cold Hell, so accompanying you doesn't waste any time. If you're eager, Younger Brother Mu, shall we set off now?"

"Okay." Mu Jinyu nodded.

"I'll go inform the clan." The Barbarian King smiled.

Then the Barbarian King went to reassure the people of the Hanchi Tribe, letting them know he was accompanying Mu Jinyu deeper into the Northern Plains and to remain vigilant.

"Alright, we can go now."

After instructing his clan, the Barbarian King returned to tell Mu Jinyu.

Then he took to the air first, gesturing for Mu Jinyu and Jian Ruyan to follow.

"Hmm," Mu Jinyu acknowledged and, along with Jian Ruyan, flew up to follow the Barbarian King deeper into the Northern Plains!
