"Alright, let's head out together!"

Although Mu Jinyu felt there was no need to bring Brother Tor along, he could somewhat guess the other's thoughts.

The thought might be that he only provided some information, which wasn't worth the reward of these superior spiritual treasures!

But if he joins them in hunting that Ice Phoenix, it would become worth it.

That way, he'd be able to accept it with a clear conscience.

So after guessing Torger's general idea, Mu Jinyu contemplated and directly agreed.

As they were preparing to depart, Torger saw Jian Ruyan by their side without any intention of staying back, his face darkened as he said, "You, little girl, want to go too?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Mu Jinyu asked strangely.

Torger's face was solemn as he shook his head, saying, "You don't understand!"

"She's only at the third layer of the Fanxu Realm, do you know what kind of demon beast the Ice Phoenix we're hunting is?"

"It's a Rank Four Demon Emperor! And its strength is above the eighth level of the Hedao Realm, I'm not even its match, I can only ensure self-preservation, yet you're letting her, a little girl, go to die?"

"Do you think you can protect her well? Or are you planning to use her as bait?"

Torger stared at Mu Jinyu with ill intentions, even feeling impulsive to throw those spiritual treasures back to Mu Jinyu and wash his hands of the whole matter.

Mu Jinyu laughed, "The eighth level of the Hedao Realm, it's nothing, I've killed several at the ninth level of the Hedao Realm before!"

"What's your cultivation level?" Torger asked.

He could discern that Mu Jinyu's cultivation was within the Hedao Realm but couldn't precisely determine its stage, initially thinking he was just around the third or fourth level of the Hedao Realm.

Now hearing Mu Jinyu's words, he suddenly realized the reason he couldn't see through Mu Jinyu's cultivation level might be because it was higher than his own.

And if Mu Jinyu wasn't exaggerating, if he really possessed the strength of the ninth level of the Hedao Realm, taking along a little girl of the Fanxu Realm would be acceptable too.

Mu Jinyu replied, "The sixth layer of the Hedao Realm, but I have some secret techniques that can enhance my combat power, enabling me to fight across several stages and eliminate enemies!"

"The sixth layer of the Hedao Realm..."

Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Torger nodded slightly.

Indeed, this guy's cultivation is a bit higher than his, no wonder he always felt he couldn't see through the other's cultivation level.

However, it was just a bit higher.

To even have the audacity to say that using secret techniques can transcend multiple stages to fight enemies!

It's utterly absurd!

However, with such strength, should danger arise when facing the Ice Phoenix, he could protect the little girl himself, so after thinking it over, Torger decided not to say anything more.

"Alright, in any case, protect this little girl yourself; I'm not responsible if anything happens!"

"Okay." Mu Jinyu didn't want to waste any time or bother explaining much, so he nodded in agreement.

Jian Ruyan stood by, feeling rather uncomfortable.

She suddenly felt that deciding to come out with Mu Jinyu seemed to be a mistake.

With her lowly strength, it would be better to stay with Gu Xiyan and the others at the Chen Family.

Ensuring safety and preventing others from reprimanding Mu Jinyu on her behalf.

However, if she were to stay in the Liuyun Tribe due to unfamiliarity, Mu Jinyu would prefer to take her along to the Ice Cave to find the Ice Phoenix rather than leave her behind.

Jian Ruyan silently vowed to herself that she must train fiercely once returning, and catch up!

This feeling of constantly holding others back was insufferable, she had had enough!

The group, each harboring thoughts, began their departure towards the Ice Cave three hundred miles away.

Three hundred miles, for someone of their strength, was hardly a distance, almost akin to arriving in the blink of an eye.

"We're here."

Torger hovered in mid-air, with the wildly blowing snow unable to settle upon him, as he gazed at the nearby icy chasm, speaking in a low voice.

Clearly, he's still quite apprehensive about this place.

It's precisely why, even though they were close, and Ice Phoenix occasionally attacked his tribesmen, he hadn't opted to fight it to death!

Because battling against it was hopeless!

"Indeed, it's quite suitable!"

Mu Jinyu also stood in the void, gazing at the Ice Cave, and felt the faint imperial pressure emanating within, unafraid yet delighted.

"Caw!!"

Just as Mu Jinyu was about to take action, a shrill and violent bird scream suddenly echoed from inside the Ice Cave, causing the entire heavens and earth to reverberate with this nearly ear-piercing shriek!

"Let's leave quickly!"

Upon hearing the cry, Torger knew the Ice Phoenix had awakened and discovered their presence, warning them to leave.

Feeling the terrifying pressure within the cry, he thought, that if Mu Jinyu had any sense, he'd realize they're not a match for the Ice Phoenix and would depart.

"Leave? We're supposed to depart?"

Mu Jinyu glanced sidelong at Torger and spoke softly.

"Are you truly intending to fight it?" Torger was somewhat astonished upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words.

Mu Jinyu chuckled lightly and said, "Why must we fight to the death? Although this Ice Phoenix is strong, it's not yet at the level requiring my life."

After speaking, he turned to the Barbarian King and said, "Brother, help me look after my sister, I'll be right back."

"Alright." The Barbarian King had witnessed Mu Jinyu's prowess firsthand, though shocked at the formidable Ice Phoenix, he remained confident in Mu Jinyu, agreeing promptly.

He had no intention of aiding Mu Jinyu, fearing that failing to help would merely be a hindrance!

"Whoosh!"

After the Barbarian King agreed, Mu Jinyu said no more, taking a step forward, his figure blurred and swiftly soared to the Ice Cave's sky!

"Caw!!"

An even angrier bird scream resounded.

Soon, an exceedingly cold presence erupted, causing the swirling snowflakes in the sky to grow more frigid.

With Jian Ruyan's third layer of the Fanxu Realm cultivation, at that moment, she felt her skin sting from the bitter cold!

If she hadn't quickly used the "Ice Phoenix Sky Technique" to activate her own Ice Phoenix Bloodline, she might have gotten frostbitten!

"This is not right!"

At this moment, Torger realized something was amiss.

His expression changed drastically, "The Ice Phoenix's cultivation has broken through, now it's at the ninth layer of the Hedao Realm!"

If the Ice Phoenix were at the peak eighth level of the Hedao Realm, he could still confidently rescue Mu Jinyu and his group under the Ice Phoenix's attack.

But now, with the Ice Phoenix's cultivation leveling up to the ninth level of the Hedao Realm, it wasn't about saving Mu Jinyu anymore.

Even self-preservation might be impossible!

The disparity was simply too vast!

But watching Mu Jinyu's figure charging towards the Ice Cave...

Torger gritted his teeth, saying, "Should have known better than to accept your spiritual treasures, truly a life-risking situation!"

Having said that, he bolted towards Mu Jinyu.

Ultimately, Torger couldn't just run away after accepting Mu Jinyu's gifted superior spiritual treasures when they encountered danger.

Despite the great risk, he still intended to rush before the Ice Phoenix emerged, to rescue Mu Jinyu and get out, also planning to have the Liuyun Tribe evacuate the area afterward!
