Though the sinister elder was unwilling at heart, he ultimately had to give up the thought of continuing to deal with Mu Jinyu under the warning of the Great Elder!
Mu Jinyu was unaware of these events happening in the dark. He was stabilizing his realm while cautiously sparing some Spiritual Thought to observe the nearby situation.
At the slightest sign of trouble, he would immediately stop consolidating his realm and engage in combat.
Unexpectedly, even after he consolidated his breakthrough to the Fanxu Realm, no one came out to make a move against him.
"Phew..."
Mu Jinyu opened his eyes, exhaling a long turbid breath, with a few traces of confusion and wonder in his eyes.
He was very certain that the anomaly in the Blood Essence Pool just now was definitely the handiwork of the Blood Sword Sect's people, and it was obvious they intended to kill him. He thought to himself, why did they not come out to deal with him when he was at his weakest just after breaking through to the Fanxu Realm?
Or perhaps, they only dared to play some small tricks and didn't dare to confront him openly?
Mu Jinyu pondered, but he was no longer willing to stay in the Blood Essence Pool to cultivate.
As the saying goes, a wise man leaves no room for danger.
Having just broken through to the Fanxu Realm, his strength was definitely no match for those Elders from the Blood Sword Sect. If they suddenly changed their minds to harm him, he couldn't guarantee that he would turn danger into safety again!
So, it's better to leave sooner rather than later!
"Of course, even if I have to leave, I won't let you have it so cheaply!"
Mu Jinyu cursed in his heart, then lowered his head to glance at the Blood Essence Pool, whose color had faded a lot.
At this moment, the Blood Essence Pool, with its Heaven and Earth Vital Energy and Qi and Blood Power, had almost been exhausted from actively surging into his body, resembling clear water.
But Mu Jinyu knew that since this Blood Essence Pool was a treasure ground like the Heavenly Sword Pool, at the Heaven Cave Blessed land level, it wouldn't just be wasted like this. There must be something beneath it to allow it to continuously generate Qi and Blood Power and Heaven and Earth Vital Energy!
Thus, Mu Jinyu swiftly plunged headfirst into the Blood Pool, drilling downwards!
Ten minutes later.
Mu Jinyu finally drilled to the bottom of the Blood Essence Pool.
At the bottom of this Blood Essence Pool, there was a thick layer of blood-colored crystals, as bright as dazzling red rubies, exuding rich Qi and Blood Power.
"Good, you're it!"
Mu Jinyu's eyes lit up. This was a great item for cultivating the "Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Technique," so he immediately began to excavate these Qi and Blood Crystals!
Soon, the Qi and Blood Crystals at the pool's bottom, almost the size of a basketball court, were moved into the Bi Fang Cauldron by Mu Jinyu!
He dared not place the secretly dug-out Blood Essence Crystals into his Storage Bag, since its quality grade was rather low and the isolation Restrictions were lacking, making it easy for someone to use Divine Sense to peek at its contents.
However, placing them in the Top-Quality Spiritual Treasure, the Bi Fang Cauldron, greatly reduced the risk of being discovered!
After digging out the Blood Essence Crystals, Mu Jinyu dared not delay any longer. Without hesitation, he surged up!
Minutes later, Mu Jinyu emerged from the Blood Essence Pool.
He pretended to cultivate for several more minutes.
He felt as if no one was watching him; otherwise, when he disappeared for nearly ten minutes to dig up things from the Blood Essence Pool's bottom, the Blood Sword Sect's people should have noticed it.
"Who cares, let's get out quickly!"
With a bit of caution, Mu Jinyu rose from the Blood Essence Pool and began to circulate his True Yuan, quickly drying his damp clothes!
Then, he strode towards the garden's exit.
As he reached the garden's entrance, he saw the Elders of the Heavenly Sword Faction in confrontation with the ones from the Blood Sword Sect!
"Move aside quickly; I want to go in and see how Jinyu is doing!"
"If something really happened to him, I will definitely take the Blood Sword Sect with me to the grave!"
Xie Chenkun and Elder Cheng glared at the Blood Sword Sect's people, hurling insults.
The Elders of the Blood Sword Sect smiled wryly and explained, "We've told you, he's really alright. Just now, when you sensed the Restrictions on him issuing a danger warning, it was the crisis he encountered while breaking through to the Fanxu Realm. But he has successfully overcome it and is now stabilizing his Cultivation inside. If you go in and interrupt his cultivation progress, he will have to spend half a year recuperating. Is it worth it?"
"Who knows if you're stalling for time to harm him? Move aside quickly. If you don't let me see my disciple, I won't be polite to you!"
Xie Chenkun showed no courtesy, his face filled with anger and a hint of anxiety, ready to act!
Mu Jinyu saw this scene from the shadows and was moved but didn't want them to fight and come to harm, swiftly stepping out to say, "Master, I'm fine..."
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Xie Chenkun's expression froze, then broke into a joyous smile, turning his head to look at Mu Jinyu and examined him up and down, laughing heartily.
"Good, good, good, as long as you're fine. You've really broken through to the Fanxu Realm, good, good, good..."
The laughter was filled with relaxation and heartfelt comfort.
The Supreme Elders who followed Xie Chenkun to the Blood Sword Sect also relaxed and felt relieved seeing Mu Jinyu come out unscathed.
The Elders of the Blood Sword Sect, seeing Mu Jinyu emerge and stabilize his cultivation at the Fanxu Realm, wore sour expressions, their eyes extremely complex.
Each of them secretly resented those two Elders for their recklessness.
Originally, with the mere Heaven and Earth Vital Energy in the Blood Essence Pool, it was almost impossible for Mu Jinyu to break through to the Fanxu Realm.
But because they took over a thousand Top-Quality Spirit Stones intending to refine Mu Jinyu to death in the Blood Essence Pool, instead, Mu Jinyu benefited, making a breakthrough to the Fanxu Realm in one fell swoop. How could they not detest those two!
Upon seeing that there was nothing wrong with Mu Jinyu, Xie Chenkun's gaze turned serious, saying in a deep voice: "Jinyu, what exactly was that danger warning about? Was it a threat from them? If so, just tell me, and I'm ready to fight them today!"
The Elders of the Heavenly Sword Faction, following Xie Chenkun's words, had eyes filled with murderous intent!
Mu Jinyu was a rare genius seed they found in the Heavenly Sword Faction, one who had the potential to lead them to the absolute peak of the Ling Kunlun Ruins. If he were nearly killed by the Blood Sword Sect, even at the cost of their old lives, they would make the Blood Sword Sect pay a terrible price!
They would never let Mu Jinyu be wronged!
The people of the Blood Sword Sect, seeing this scene, all tightened up nervously.
The Great Elders were even more prepared that if a battle was unavoidable, they would quickly activate the Mountain Protection Array to try to keep the Heavenly Sword Faction intact.
Although the Blood Sword Sect would suffer heavy losses at that time, it wouldn't reach the point of mutual destruction by the Heavenly Sword Faction!
Looking at the eyes of Xie Chenkun and others, Mu Jinyu felt a warmth in his heart, but he knew that standing in the Blood Sword Sect now, if he acknowledged their intent to harm him, a battle would inevitably ensue.
The individuals from the Heavenly Sword Faction who came were also likely to be kept here.
Not wanting to see that happen, he smiled and said: "It's nothing; there really was a bit of danger earlier, but it was simply the danger encountered during the breakthrough to the Fanxu Realm, not related to the Blood Sword Sect."
With Mu Jinyu's words, everyone present relaxed.
Unless absolutely necessary, none actually wished for a fight that confirmed mutual destruction!
