Another day of peace passed.
After successfully producing a top-quality pill with seven patterns on the first day, Mu Jinyu seemed to have hit a bottleneck, unable to produce the eighth pattern no matter what he tried.
Not only was it an issue of preserving the potency of the pills, but also the quantity produced per batch.
In each batch of pills, he always achieved seven formed elixirs, never managing to produce eight or nine at a time.
After several failures, Mu Jinyu realized he was temporarily stuck in a bottleneck, unable to produce pills with eight pills eight patterns. He did not obsess over producing the eighth pattern!
Instead, he calmly accepted this fact and continued his daily routine of alchemy, taking elixirs, and cultivating, steadily increasing his strength.
He understood that the priority was never to perfect the art of alchemy but to increase his strength to prepare for the arrival of Ye Wushuang, the seventh in the Divine Rankings.
Every day, besides alchemy and cultivation, he spent time with his woman and occasionally stopped cultivating to arrange the Mountain Protection Array using Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures found by Mu Hongchen.
Over the course of seven days.
The multiple arrays constituting the Mountain Protection Array that Mu Jinyu intended to arrange, besides the first completed "Silent Qi Array," he continued perfecting the already nearly finished "Illusion Array," "Spirit Gathering Array," "Spirit Attraction Formation"…
In the end, only the "Defensive Formation" and the "Slaughter Array" were left incomplete due to a lack of materials. The Mountain Protection Array, covering the entire Yinlong Mountain, was now two-thirds complete.
"It's a pity. Some materials are still missing, and there's no clue on how to repair the Dragon Vein either. Otherwise, once this Mountain Protection Array is completed, even if the Banished Immortal Li Zhexiong from the first rank of the Divine Rankings comes here, why should I fear him?"
After successfully arranging the "Super Large Spirit Gathering Array," Mu Jinyu, feeling the spiritual energy of Yinlong Mountain increased by more than tenfold, lamented.
"It's alright, Little Mu, take your time; there's no need to rush," Wen Rou said, holding a clean white handkerchief. After Mu Jinyu stood up, she wiped the sweat and dirt from his forehead.
Mu Jinyu had not mentioned Ye Wushuang's situation to them, so although Wen Rou knew that Mu Jinyu was very eager in his cultivation and in enhancing his power, she didn't guess it was to prevent someone else's revenge.
They only thought that Mu Jinyu's urgency in cultivation was purely stimulated by Xiang Mantang's departure.
Hoping that with his increased strength, he could help Xiang Mantang.
"Yeah, just that after the Mountain Protection Array is completed, our cultivation environment will be a bit better,"
Mu Jinyu said with a smile as he explained.
Actually, after nearly a month of peaceful days, Mu Jinyu had started to doubt whether Ye Wushuang knew about Ye Chen's death.
Was he aware, but because he was urgently cultivating to stabilize his realm, he temporarily suppressed his hatred, planning to seek revenge after his retreat?
Or could it be that since Ye Chen often didn't contact him, Ye Wushuang remained unaware of Ye Chen's death?
Mu Jinyu wasn't clear on the reason Ye Wushuang had remained inactive for so long, but the pressure in his heart hadn't lessened at all, it had even increased day by day.
After all, if Ye Wushuang was stabilizing his realm before seeking revenge, then once Ye Wushuang was free to exact vengeance, he wouldn't just be facing the seventh rank Ye Wushuang from the Divine Rankings.
It could be the Ye Wushuang aiming for the top three ranks in the Divine Rankings!
"Ring ring ring."
While thinking about Ye Wushuang, the ringtone of Mu Jinyu's phone suddenly sounded.
Mu Jinyu took out his phone and saw it was from Mu Hongchen, so he answered directly.
"Hello, Aunt Mu, is there some good news?" Mu Jinyu asked with a smile.
In recent days, every time Mu Hongchen called, it was about finding various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or the crucial pivot for setting up an array.
He naturally assumed that this call from Mu Hongchen was also about notifying him of some found Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
"Dragon Master, it's bad, something happened…"
However, contrary to Mu Jinyu's expectations, Mu Hongchen's tone was anxious, and it wasn't good news.
"What happened?" Mu Jinyu's expression changed slightly as he asked Mu Hongchen urgently.
Mu Hongchen said, "Jinyu Mantang... that is, Slaughter Redemption has run into trouble…"
Mu Hongchen briefly and directly explained to Mu Jinyu.
The Assassin Alliance, originally managed by Xiang Mantang and renamed Jinyu Mantang, fell into its leader's disappearance following a dark turmoil, and the leadership transferred to Third-Rate Unknown.
Not long ago, Third-Rate Unknown found an ancient sword formation in a ruin, which could easily kill those in the God Realm.
Somehow, the news leaked, and now they were being hunted by various forces.
To save Nameless, Third-Rate Unknown had exposed himself to life-threatening danger. Nameless was now barely escaping an encirclement with him and had contacted Dragon King Hall shortly before, hoping to get their help, ideally having the Dragon King treat Third-Rate Unknown…
Otherwise, Third-Rate Unknown might not survive his severe injuries.
Upon receiving their plea for help, Mu Hongchen knew that Third-Rate Unknown and Nameless, these two assassins, would also be a good asset for Mu Jinyu, so he immediately phoned to ask if Mu wanted to intervene and save them.
The most important thing, actually, was the sword formation in their possession, which could easily annihilate anyone in the God Realm.
This was precisely why Mu Hongchen urgently reminded Mu Jinyu.
After listening to Mu Hongchen's explanation, Mu Jinyu didn't think too much about the sword formation or any support, and simply said, "Where are they? I'm heading over to save them now."
In Mu Jinyu's heart, although Third-Rate Unknown and Nameless had once wanted to kill him, they had let bygones be bygones after the death of the Lord of the Killing Realm.
To him, they were not only subordinates but also friends, just like Zhu Yeqing. Since they were in peril, he would definitely intervene to help.
Mu Hongchen immediately informed Mu Jinyu of their approximate location.
Of course, being in a state of being hunted, they couldn't just stay in one place waiting for rescue and would naturally keep running, so Mu Jinyu needed to make his own judgments.
With his Divine Sense, upon knowing their approximate location, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to find them.
Mu Jinyu hung up the phone and briefly spoke with Wen Rou.
Then he immediately set out to rescue Third-Rate Unknown and Nameless.
...
In a small town in the north.
This small town was already sparsely populated, and after experiencing the dark turmoil, which claimed numerous lives, the survivors dared not linger, having almost all fled.
It was no different from a ghost town.
At that moment, on a secluded street.
The thinly dressed Nameless, carrying the barely alive Third-Rate Unknown, continued to flee forward!
Although Nameless was also severely injured during the previous ambush, her speed was still very fast.
And with her innate special ability to turn invisible, if she hadn't been encumbered by Third-Rate Unknown, she would have escaped so fast that the pursuers would have questioned their own existence, unable to track her.
"Drip…"
"Drip!"
With every step Nameless took, the sound of dripping echoed.
It wasn't raining; instead, it was the horrifying wound that had almost split Third-Rate Unknown's chest open, steadily leaking fresh blood and leaving a trail of blood behind.
Given their current situation, Nameless couldn't possibly take Third-Rate Unknown to a hospital for emergency treatment, fearing that the moment she stepped into the hospital, the pursuers would storm in and kill Third-Rate Unknown!
Although she knew some basic medical techniques, Third-Rate Unknown's condition was beyond her ability to treat.
"Na… Nameless…"
Barely conscious due to his severe injuries, Third-Rate Unknown, perhaps lucid from a rebound, suddenly called out weakly to Nameless.
"Hmm." Nameless, carrying Third-Rate Unknown, continued her fast pace forward, responding to him.
Third-Rate Unknown, lying on Nameless's back, weakly said, "You, let… let me down, I… I'm not going to make it… You, just run… for it…"
