Yet after all, it was intangible, and unless Mu Jinyu had used the secret technique, it would have been impossible to capture it in his hand. Therefore, no matter how much it struggled, it still couldn't escape.
"Boom!!"
And just at that moment.
As Mu Jinyu drew the Jade Dragon Vein from Yulong Snow Mountain, a violent shaking sound suddenly occurred, followed by a thunderous roar echoing through the sky.
"Rumble!!"
Mu Jinyu steadied himself and was not knocked to the ground by the intense shaking. He grabbed at the dragon vein and looked towards the direction from which the roaring sound was coming.
He saw an astonishing avalanche at the summit of Yulong Snow Mountain; massive amounts of snow rolled together with a momentum that violently rushed toward the valley below them.
It would probably take only about three to five minutes for this area to be buried.
"Crack, crack, crack!!"
Another cracking sound rose, and Mu Jinyu looked down to see continuous earthquakes causing the land in the valley to crack like spiderwebs, spreading unceasingly and widening immeasurably.
"Did extracting the dragon vein actually cause such a commotion?"
Mu Jinyu murmured in surprise.
Afterwards, he calmly took out the Shennong Cauldron and threw the struggling Jade Dragon Vein into it. He then immediately bit his fingertip and drew several talismans on the lid of the cauldron, completely sealing the dragon vein inside.
"Clang, clang, clang!!"
Instantly, the Jade Dragon Vein, unable to flee its incorporeal form from the Shennong Cauldron, began hitting Inside like a real eel, producing a series of intense sounds.
However, Mu Jinyu didn't pay attention to it anymore. He shrank the Shennong Cauldron, put it back in his pocket, and walked towards the location where Yu Shenfeng and his disciples were.
Facing such a natural disaster, Mu Jinyu was not at all flustered. Whether it was an avalanche or land collapse, with his strength, he feared nothing.
Thus, he continued walking leisurely towards Yu Shenfeng and the others.
"Rumble!!"
Yu Shenfeng and his disciples were still talking when suddenly they heard a loud noise followed by a shaking that felt like an earthquake had occurred.
But with their skills, they were not knocked to the ground by the tremor. They looked at the cracked ground in confusion and shock and saw an avalanche happening in the distance, exclaiming, "What's happening? Why is there an unexplained earthquake and avalanche?"
As they spoke, they all thought of Mu Jinyu, who had just left, and the valley they had used as a bargaining chip.
"Hmm, could this earthquake and avalanche have been caused by the Dragon King's meddling?"
Yu Shenfeng said coldly.
"It must be, apparently there's a treasured item here, no wonder the Dragon King agreed to exchange it for the Heavenly Frost Profound Cold Qi."
Chen Xiuying also mused thoughtfully.
However, she didn't regret anything, as the deal had already been completed. Without this transaction, Yu Shenfeng would have died sooner or later, and she and Qiu Bai wouldn't have discovered the treasured item here. They would have left eventually and allowed Mu Jinyu to succeed.
"Let's go, looking at the location of the avalanche, this valley will be buried eventually. We should leave now."
Yu Shenfeng also wasn't tempted by the so-called treasured item, only preparing to take his disciples away from the area.
"Tap, tap..."
At this moment, Mu Jinyu appeared.
"Let's go, it's done, we should leave now."
Mu Jinyu, supporting Zhou Yi, said to Qiu Bai.
"Yes, Dragon Master." Qiu Bai responded, nodding his head and not daring to look at Yu Shenfeng as he slowly walked towards Mu Jinyu.
Just then, after Yu Shenfeng had fully recovered, they talked for over ten minutes. He seemed to be boasting to Yu Shenfeng about how he had helped him obtain Fire-type Spiritual Medicine in a gambling fight and was now ranked tenth in the Divine Rankings, but he did not confess that he was to follow Mu Jinyu for five years.
After all, that would not sound good if said out loud.
After arriving beside Mu Jinyu, Qiu Bai looked up at Yu Shenfeng, his lips moved several times as he was about to say, "Take care, master and senior sister," but was interrupted by Mu Jinyu's next words.
"Are you all going together?"
Mu Jinyu held onto Qiu Bai's arm as he asked Yu Shenfeng and Chen Xiuying.
"Yes, let's go together."
Upon hearing this, Yu Shenfeng gave Qiu Bai a meaningful look. He said nothing more and didn't inquire further about what treasures Mu Jinyu had obtained in the area, just nodded.
Although he was curious about why Qiu Bai was leaving with Mu Jinyu, it was clearly not the time for talking now, as the avalanche was only two to three minutes away from burying their location.
Seeing Yu Shenfeng agree, Mu Jinyu said nothing more. He grabbed Qiu Bai and Zhou Yi, soared into the sky, and flew out of the Yulong Snow Mountain!
His figure was like a long rainbow, disappearing in a flash of a kilometer!
Yu Shenfeng also grabbed Chen Xiuying and flew on a rainbow, catching up with Mu Jinyu as he departed.
"Boom boom boom!!"
Soon, a thunderous roar erupted behind them. Yu Shenfeng and Chen Xiuying looked back to see that the valley, where they had lived for decades, was now buried under a massive avalanche, concealed from view and strangely stagnant, not continuing its massive descent.
Yu Shenfeng's speed involuntarily slowed as he gazed at the site of his many years of seclusion, now wiped clean, a somber expression crossing his face.
Suddenly, Chen Xiuying exclaimed, "Oh no, I forgot to take the spiritual medicines from the storage room."
"Don't worry, it's just some small medicine, moreover, Dragon King must have taken them too," Yu Shenfeng reassured her.
Hearing Yu Shenfeng's words, Chen Xiuying immediately thought of Zhou Yi, whom Mu Jinyu had supported earlier.
This old man had always been near the storage room. That Mu Jinyu brought him along suggested that just before departing, he had taken all the medicinal materials from the storage room.
"Phew... it's good nothing was wasted."
Chen Xiuying realized this and heaved a sigh of relief.
As for whether Mu Jinyu would return the materials to her, she didn't mind because she had previously intended to donate them to Mu Jinyu anyway; he had just refused.
Even if Mu Jinyu secretly took them away without saying anything, she might be disappointed in him, but she wouldn't demand them back since the good spiritual medicines were not wasted.
Yu Shenfeng then sped up, flying with Chen Xiuying to catch up to Mu Jinyu and the others.
A few minutes later.
They had left Yulong Snow Mountain and descended in a deserted little town nearby.
Mu Jinyu left Zhou Yi behind, then took out the pile of spiritual medicine he had taken with him when he saved Zhou Yi and returned them to Chen Xiuying, preparing to say goodbye to Yu Shenfeng.
Yu Shenfeng didn't plan to ask Mu Jinyu what he had found in the valley that caused the avalanche, but he couldn't help asking when his disciple decided to leave with Mu Jinyu,
"Little Bai, why do you want to go with the Dragon King?"
The tone was not accusatory, and if it had been the usual temperament of Yu Shenfeng, this inquiry would have been extremely gentle, like a breeze in spring.
However, due to his adjustment to practicing the Heavenly Frost Profound Cold Qi, his tone now seemed a bit cold and somber.
Qiu Bai's heart shuddered, knowing he couldn't evade this questioning, so he lowered his head and honestly told Yu Shenfeng about how, after reaching the tenth rank of the Divine Rankings, he finally met Mu Jinyu and lost to him.
Qiu Bai had originally thought Yu Shenfeng would be furious after hearing this, but to his surprise, he did not get angry; instead, he nodded with some relief and said, "It's good to be willing to acknowledge defeat. Go on, I suppose the Dragon King will treat you well."
"Master..." Qiu Bai looked at Yu Shenfeng, moved, with tears swirling in his eyes.
Mu Jinyu, watching this scene, thought to himself how deep the bond between the master and disciple was. Then, an idea struck him, and he said, "Master Yu, now that the valley has collapsed, do you have a place to go?"
Yu Shenfeng shook his head, informing Mu Jinyu that he planned to roam the world with Chen Xiuying, to truly appreciate the beauty of the landscape.
Hearing this, Mu Jinyu smiled lightly and made an inviting gesture, "I recall that Master Yu was the former Slaughter Redemption Realm Master? Conveniently, I also hold the title of Slaughter Redemption Realm Master now. Why didn't you come back with me and help me teach a few clumsy assassins?"
