Mu Jinyu, seeing that it was impossible to sway Xilin, lazily stopped talking and continued to quietly wait for the founder of Paradise Lost to emerge.

Meanwhile, after Mu Jinyu fell silent, Xilin felt a bit uncertain and restless.

She wasn't sure if she should choose to ally with Mu Jinyu.

Something felt off to her.

After a moment, she wondered whether she should just leave for now...

She thought once Mu Jinyu resolved things, she would return to see if she could follow the portal back to the Canglan Realm.

But Xilin quickly shook her head; she sensed that the spatial fluctuations here would not persist. If she missed this chance, she feared she couldn't return another time.

Even though Mu Jinyu wasn't speaking to Xilin or looking at her, he could notice the changes in her expressions.

He thought to himself, the woman doesn't want to join forces with him.

If the founder of Paradise Lost appeared and she saw that he had an adversary, would she join forces with the old man against him?

If so, he'd have to fight two enemies at once!

Mu Jinyu considered whether to drive her away first.

After some reflection, Mu Jinyu shook his head and dismissed the idea.

This silly woman seemed to be in a rebellious phase. If he forced her to leave, she probably wouldn't; instead, if she saw him fighting someone, she'd likely develop a rebellious streak and oppose him!

He figured he should explain things to her clearly first.

As Mu Jinyu thought this, he looked up at Xilin standing in the sky and said, "Hey, I'm not driving you away. You can watch from here, but when my opponent shows up later, don't intervene or help me. He's a rare opponent that I can barely match, alright?"

Hearing Mu Jinyu suddenly speak and ask her not to interfere, Xilin pouted impatiently and said, "Got it!"

She thought that if things went as he said, and Mu Jinyu gained the upper hand in the battle, she might just have to give him a hand to finish the fight quickly.

Xilin didn't doubt Mu Jinyu's words much.

She had already briefly toured the Earth, but had encountered few Fanxu Realm cultivators, let alone those in the Unity Realm. Currently, she only knew Mu Jinyu and his master, Mu Shao'ai, in the Unity Realm.

Mu Shao'ai was actually in the Breaking Void Realm, and fighting with Mu Jinyu wouldn't end well, as they weren't of the same rank.

Therefore, Xilin found it understandable that Mu Jinyu craved a fierce battle like this.

And if she ruined this fight for him...

Xilin imagined Mu Jinyu angrily chasing her and couldn't help but smile, feeling a bit expectant.

Mu Jinyu noticed Xilin's expression change, and he relaxed inwardly.

'This woman is still quite simple after all.'

Mu Jinyu thought to himself, expressionless.

Then, they both fell silent again.

Time slowly passed.

About ten minutes later.

"Buzz!"

A quivering sound, barely audible to ordinary ears, suddenly echoed.

Mu Jinyu's eyes suddenly brightened, like two sharp swords piercing forward.

The calm void ahead suddenly twisted violently, like a river surface disturbed by a stone, creating rippling waves.

Then, both Mu Jinyu and Xilin saw a vast river faintly appear behind the void, and a withered old man stepped out, as if walking along the river of time and space from ancient times!

"Splash!"

"Bang!!"

Accompanied by a sound like breaking glass, the void shattered violently.

The old man emerged from it.

Streams of sinister energy leaked out from the void river, spreading outward.

Mu Jinyu watched this scene with a serious expression, thinking to himself, 'As expected, this old man has a way to break the seal and open a path to the Demon World...'

If the founder of Paradise Lost weren't here, and there wasn't the scapegoat plan concocted by Chu Tiance, Mu Jinyu might have directly charged into the opened Demon World.

But for now, he couldn't rush in recklessly.

"It's not a passage to the Canglan Realm..."

Seeing the void open, the glittering brilliance in Xilin's eyes dimmed abruptly.

Everything disenchanted her.

Especially the evil energy spreading out, which made her lose the desire to explore inside.

It filled her with sheer repulsion.

"Boom!!"

Mu Jinyu leaped into the air, stepping across the rippling void toward the old man, and said solemnly, "You're finally out! I've been waiting for you a long time!"

When the old man saw Mu Jinyu, he immediately recognized him as the Dragon King of the Dragon King Hall whom he intended to mercilessly kill after his emergence.

He never expected Mu Jinyu to dare appear, seeking death. Immediately, he glared fiercely and roared, "Dragon King, you dare seek death! Die!"

With a furious roar, layers of dead skin peeled off the old man's face, revealing his true, decayed visage, like that of a zombie.

Then, he stretched his arms. Covered with corpse spots, blue veins bulged like steel rods, and in an instant, the arms stretched to grab Mu Jinyu's neck fiercely.

"Hmm?!"

Seeing the old man's killing move, Mu Jinyu furrowed his brow, sensing a strong aura of death from the arms. His intuition warned him of dire consequences if touched!

"Clang!"

"Dong!"

Mu Jinyu immediately drew the Dragon Spear and Dragon Phoenix Cauldron, slicing through one approaching arm with a single strike!

The Dragon Phoenix Cauldron quivered slightly, unleashing the Dragon Phoenix Qi to repel the other arm!

After deflecting the arm's attack, Mu Jinyu wielded the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron, suspended above him, radiating Dragon Phoenix Qi that enveloped him with holy brilliance, shielding him from ominous auras!

"Hah!"

Mu Jinyu gripped the Dragon Spear tightly, fully employing the "True Dragon Mystic Taoism," momentarily pushing his cultivation to the Peak Unity Realm.

If not for the vast gap between the Unity and Breaking Void Realms, he might temporarily possess Breaking Void Realm power.

Even so, he nearly commanded Half-Step Breaking Void Realm strength!

"Clang!"

With his cultivation pushed to its pinnacle, Mu Jinyu swung the Dragon Spear, activating the "Killing Character Secret Technique," transforming into a rampaging dragon crossing the river, charging toward the founder of Paradise Lost!

"Hmm?!"

When the old man saw Mu Jinyu's cultivation change, his decayed face remained unchanged, yet a trace of surprise flickered in his ghostly black eyes.

He hadn't expected Mu Jinyu's strength to reach such a level!

"But, will it work?"

The old man spoke in a hoarse voice like a night owl's cry or nails scraping on a blackboard, causing discomfort to the ears.

"Bang!!"

He suddenly raised his hand, his right arm erupting with thick layers of black evil mist.

In the mist, runes shimmered, intertwining into mysterious array patterns, manifesting as if a parade of fierce ghosts, evolving into a night parade of one hundred demons!

Then, as Mu Jinyu charged with the spear, delivering a breathtaking thrust, it resembled a magnificent dragon stilling the raging waves, matchless in the world!

"Boom!!"

The Dragon Spear and the arm collided bluntly.

Instantly, the world darkened; the sun and moon lost their light, and the void for thousands of miles around showed layers of glass-like cracks.
