For those stubborn tribes, after Barbarian King and Brother Tor tried persuading them several times in vain, they finally had to give up.
Then, under the escort of Mu Shao'ai and his disciple, all the major Northern Barbarian Tribe members successfully migrated out of Northern Plains.
Finally, Mu Shao'ai arranged a temporary residence for them.
During this process, Jing Wang did not intervene to obstruct, which was somewhat beyond everyone's expectations, but this only made Mu Shao'ai more certain that Jing Wang should be heavily backlashed by the Ancestral Witch's Wraith, and indeed it was the best time to hunt her down.
Thus, after arranging a temporary place for these barbarian tribes, Mu Shao'ai rushed back to the Northern Plains, intending to find Jing Wang and avenge the past humiliation!
Meanwhile, after bidding farewell to the Barbarian King and the others, Mu Jinyu did not accompany his master to chase down Jing Wang, but instead returned to the Southwest Chen Family.
"Don't tell them too much when you go back."
On the road, even though Mu Jinyu knew Jian Ruyan wasn't a talkative person, he still casually reminded her.
"Hmm, I know, but are you really okay?"
Jian Ruyan looked at Mu Jinyu, asking with concern.
"No worries, I have self-preservation techniques, so you don't have to worry." Mu Jinyu smiled at Jian Ruyan.
"Hmm." Jian Ruyan responded, not asking further.
Mu Jinyu rarely saw Jian Ruyan talk a bit more, so he smiled and said, "Now the matter is basically settled, when I go back, I'll forge a sword for you; you've been waiting for so long, aren't you anxious?"
Jian Ruyan shook her head slightly and said, "No..."
After a pause, she whispered, "Why are you so good to me? There's no need for that..."
Mu Jinyu smiled and said, "You're Ah-Xiang's sister, so you're also my sister. Not to mention Ah-Xiang is temporarily not here to take care of you, even if he was here, I would take care of you!"
Upon hearing this, Jian Ruyan's heart trembled, showing a look of bitter grief.
After a moment of silence, she softly said, "I wonder how brother is doing now... I really want to see him..."
Mu Jinyu was moved and couldn't help wanting to reveal a glimpse of the future he'd seen.
But the consequences of revealing the Heavenly Mechanism are severe, and now the Mystical Little Tree and Three-Leaf Youlian were severely damaged while protecting him, Mu Jinyu wasn't sure if they could help him avert disaster if he revealed it.
After pondering, Mu Jinyu finally didn't speak recklessly and sighed, "Don't worry, Ah-Xiang isn't someone doomed to a short life, he should be fine. It would only be monsters and demons meeting their nemesis. Next time we go back, I'll take you to see if we can find a way to go in and have a look..."
"Hmm, thank you..." Jian Ruyan responded softly, her desolate eyes not holding much hope.
She believed her brother wasn't easy to get into trouble, but she felt finding a way in was too difficult.
Soon, Mu Jinyu and Jian Ruyan returned to the Southwest Chen Family.
"Why did it take so long this time?!"
The women, informed by the message, came out to greet them. Gu Xiyan teased, "We almost thought you eloped with Ruyan."
Mu Jinyu laughed heartily and said, "How dare I? Ah-Xiang would kill me when he returns!"
"Oh? So you really had that thought, huh!" Gu Xiyan teased with bad intentions upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words.
Mu Jinyu shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, please don't always set me up."
After a few jokes, Su Zijin finally spoke with some concern, asking Mu Jinyu why the trip took so long?
Logically, finding an Ice Attribute Demon Emperor shouldn't be difficult given Mu Jinyu's strength, or perhaps the scarcity of Ice Attribute Demon Emperors took too much time finding one?
Mu Jinyu didn't want to hide from them, so he began recounting his experience over the past days.
Of course, besides skimming over the heart-thumping moment when he and his master narrowly escaped death under Jing Wang's blade, he basically told them everything else.
"Did the Blood Witch Clan reappear? They almost hurt Master... their strength's growth is alarming!" Wen Rou said, frowning.
She, along with Jian Ruyan, experienced the Blood Witch catastrophe with Mu Jinyu and naturally understood the terror of Jing Wang.
Initially, with no news of Jing Wang, she thought it was resolved by Mu Shao'ai without mentioning much, but now, hearing news of her again!
And, once again, she managed to escape smoothly!
This made Wen Rou somewhat worried, fearing the other party would eventually cause a major disaster!
Gu Xiyan and Su Zijin also heard Mu Jinyu's brief account of the Northern Barbarians trip before, but they weren't very aware of the Blood Witch Clan issues. Hearing Mu Jinyu's detailed narration now, they also sensed the thrill and crisis in Mu Jinyu's seemingly casual words.
"Never thought such a monster appeared over in Northern Plains. Luckily your master went to deal with that person, otherwise, if she continued cultivating with blood, who knows what the world would become!" Su Zijin said with some lingering fear.
Mu Jinyu secretly smiled bitterly, not wanting to tell them more about the real result of that battle.
Of course, it was also because at that time, Mu Shao'ai underestimated Jing Wang, not taking her seriously, wanting to test the real level of his Void Breaking Realm strength, which allowed Jing Wang to successfully perform up to the eighteenth slash!
After this encounter, Mu Shao'ai felt more assured. Even if he met Jing Wang again, at her peak, fully healed, she may not be able to almost kill him with one slash!
At that time, who wins or loses is unknown.
This is also why Mu Jinyu, knowing Mu Shao'ai would continue chasing Jing Wang for revenge, did not stop him or act with him.
After chatting leisurely with family for half a day.
After eating, Mu Jinyu said to Su Zijin and others, "Mom, Xiyan, Xiaorou, Sister Mei... I need to go into seclusion again and prepare to forge the sword. The materials are all gathered, though I don't know how long forging the sword will take, so you don't need to notify me for meals, okay..."
"Alright." Su Zijin and the others nodded in agreement upon hearing him.
Subsequently, Mu Jinyu entered a room, closed the door, and set up a defensive formation to avoid interruptions that could lead to failure.
Of course, there is a buffer period, and if something major happens, even if all the materials are wasted, Mu Jinyu will surely come out!
"I've barely refined artifacts, should I really start directly with Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure?"
Mu Jinyu took out the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron to prepare forging a sword, but hesitated, muttering.
He indeed had little experience in artifact refining; only before Spiritual Energy Revival, he obtained a piece of Dragon Bone and the corpse of a Nine-Eyed Bichan in the Dragon Marrow Immortal Spring of Ruiyan Mountain and refined two magic artifacts...
After coming to Kunlun Ruins, there were plenty of magic treasures, so he naturally didn't refine much.
Now tasked with directly using various precious materials to forge a sword, Mu Jinyu was somewhat hesitant, fearing the loss would be significant if he failed due to rusty skills.
Therefore, Mu Jinyu decided to first forge a Spirit Treasure-level Sword Soldier to practice?
If this thought were known to others, a lot of artifact refining masters would likely vomit blood!
Gosh, using Spirit Treasure for practice?
Isn't this too confident?!
It's known that what they use for practice is basically just magic artifacts and low-grade magic treasures...
Spirit Treasures, even those of low grade, require very serious incense burning and bathing, and after procedures, solemnly open the furnace to cast artifacts!
But Mu Jinyu being so casual, simply made them feel it was a waste of resources!
