"Another punch!"
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Fang Xiuyuan, who was planning to catch his breath and quickly swap the formation map to change the formation to counter Mu Jinyu, turned pale immediately.
It was too late.
He couldn't imagine that Mu Jinyu, who delivered such a terrifying punch, could casually deliver another one.
Could his physical body be so strong that such a fearsome punch is as simple as eating and drinking?
Unfortunately, just as Fang Xiuyuan hurriedly tried to change the formation map, Mu Jinyu delivered another punch.
"Roar!"
The sound of dragon roars echoed, causing the void to tremble continuously.
The ground underfoot was carved with a long groove, four or five meters deep, as the dragon-shaped fist energy scraped over it.
The unmatched fist energy struck directly onto the Bagua Light Barrier, stirring up even more turbulent ripples, seeming as if it might shatter at any second.
Mu Jinyu's fist energy was so terrifying, akin to Gonggong's rage colliding with Buzhou Mountain, or the Immortal of Colossal Spirit overturning Sumeru Mountain, crashing down upon it. It made one wonder if anyone in this world could withstand such an iron fist.
With hearts pounding, Fang Xiuyuan and the others watched as the Eight Trigrams Array Diagram was finally not torn apart.
"Hurry up and change the formation map..."
Fang Xiuyuan, with trembling hands, prepared to change the formation map to stop Mu Jinyu's iron fist.
He had no time to think about how long he could withstand Mu Jinyu's divine killing move after changing the formation map.
He simply couldn't think that deeply; he just wanted to cling to life a bit longer.
"One more time!"
Seeing the Bagua Light Barrier still intact, Mu Jinyu laughed heartily and threw another fierce punch!
So fast that Fang Xiuyuan didn't even have time to change the formation map!
"Boom!"
With a thunderous sound, the Bagua Light Barrier finally could not withstand the successive terrifying force and shattered on the spot.
Behind the light shield, the Liuyun Sect elders, wielding various spiritual treasures to form the array, were all shattered to pieces instantly, blood mist rising into the air!
Flowers of blood bloomed, appearing both grotesque and beautifully sinister.
"Clang!"
"Clang!!"
"Clang!!!"
As they died, the medium-grade spiritual treasures - Separation Fire Furnace, Xun Wind Bell, Thunder Shock Bell, Duize Tower, Kanshui Cauldron... all fell to the ground.
Fortunately, because they were medium-grade spiritual treasures, their quality was durable enough not to be smashed into spiritual treasure fragments by Mu Jinyu!
"It's finally over..."
Mu Jinyu, with a calm demeanor, looked at the ruins below and slowly withdrew his right fist.
Then, Mu Jinyu descended into the ruins, first collecting all the dozen or so spiritual treasures into his storage bag, then gathering the storage bags of those people. Without having time to check them, he tied them to his waist before heading toward the various buildings he had intentionally preserved.
Among these buildings, as Mu Jinyu's divine sense swept over, he discovered that some had numerous restrictions, making it clear that, even if these pavilions were not originally forbidden grounds in Mingyue Valley, after Liuyun Sect moved into Mingyue Valley, these pavilions also became restricted areas, prohibiting ordinary disciples from entering.
"Let me see what's inside..."
Mu Jinyu easily dismantled the restrictions of these pavilions, then stepped inside, his divine sense sweeping through.
These pavilions were originally akin to the Scripture Pavilion of the Heavenly Sword Faction, with restrictions suppressing the range of divine sense internally. However, Mu Jinyu would abide by the rules in the Heavenly Sword Faction and wouldn't break the restrictions, but now that he had destroyed the Liuyun Sect, how could he allow his divine sense to be suppressed?!
Therefore, as his divine sense swept, he surveyed everything inside the pavilion.
"The resources aren't lacking; Third Grade Spiritual Fruit like Bi Yun Fruit, Third Grade Spiritual Grass like Six-Leaf Soul-cleansing Grass, and Third Grade Spiritual Plant like Purple Evil-Repelling Bamboo..."
Mu Jinyu was quite pleased, even though most were useless to him, but who would refuse an unexpected joy?
Not to mention, he could bring them back later for the use of the Dragon King Hall.
Thus, Mu Jinyu took out a storage bag with the largest space and moved these cultivation resources, then went to the Scripture Pavilion. After a brief inspection, Mu Jinyu found that most of the secret manuals here should be from Mingyue Valley, with only a smaller portion belonging to the Liuyun Sect, and rather inferior ones at that.
There was also a segment that clearly appeared to be tales unearthed by the Liuyun Sect decades ago in some ruins.
Mu Jinyu initially planned to gather all these secret manuals, but upon considering that he came to help Ji Li extinguish Liuyun Sect to vent her anger and assist in rebuilding Mingyue Valley.
If he took all of Mingyue Valley's secret manuals, what would Ji Li have left to rebuild it with?
However, he also found it challenging to distinguish which ones genuinely belonged to Mingyue Valley, which belonged to Liuyun Sect, and which were acquired by Liuyun Sect in the ruins.
So, contemplating a bit, Mu Jinyu decided to first collect all these secret manuals into a storage bag.
If Ji Li couldn't tell them apart later, he could enlist the Great Elder and Sect Leader to help him discern.
As for whether the Great Elder and Sect Leader would be tempted to absorb these Mingyue Valley secrets into the Heavenly Sword Faction's Scripture Pavilion?
Mu Jinyu wasn't worried at all.
After all, he was no mere disciple but someone who could genuinely influence the order of the Heavenly Sword Faction; as long as they're sane, they wouldn't mess up for such minor benefits.
Moreover, the Blood Sword Sect's collection was enough to satiate them.
After removing everything from the Treasure Pavilion and the Scripture Pavilion, Mu Jinyu looked around the ruins of Mingyue Valley, finding a few items he deemed useful, then, having found nothing more, he broke through space and returned to the Heavenly Sword Faction!
...
Half a day later.
Mu Jinyu returned to the Heavenly Sword Faction.
Among the disciples who were overjoyed at the Heavenly Sword Faction's survival and the revenge against the Blood Sword Sect, they received another fresh and shocking piece of news.
The Liuyun Sect, which had just stepped into the ranks of the Four Great Sects of Yan Kingdom and ranked third in this Four Sects Martial Meeting, was also obliterated by their Senior Brother Mu Jinyu, who single-handedly went to Mingyue Valley!
Within a day.
The Blood Sword Sect and Liuyun Sect were both annihilated.
The Four Sects of Yan Kingdom suddenly turned into two sects, and the power of the Heavenly Sword Faction was evidently a hundred times stronger than Beixue Mountain Villa!
Everyone in the Heavenly Sword Faction, upon hearing this news, fell into a daze, then erupted into joyous frenzy, if not for the absence of firecrackers and restrictions on drumming and gonging, they would certainly celebrate for seven days and nights.
They never expected that the Heavenly Sword Faction, which had nearly been annihilated by the Blood Sword Sect, could become so dominant after Senior Brother Mu awoke, consecutively crushing two other great sects.
Henceforth, the situation of the Heavenly Sword Faction reigning over Yan Kingdom was unchangeable.
And in the Elder's Grand Hall.
Upon returning, Mu Jinyu went there first, informing Xie Yuan and the others that he had destroyed the Liuyun Sect, then notifying them of his intention to help Ji Li rebuild Mingyue Valley.
"What? Rebuild Mingyue Valley?"
Just as Xie Yuan and the others were overjoyed hearing Mu Jinyu annihilate the Liuyun Sect, thinking the Heavenly Sword Faction's Scripture Pavilion would be enriched with countless secret manuals, they heard this news and were stupefied.
However, they were not ordinary people and quickly adjusted their mindset, nodding and saying with a smile, "Alright, whatever you decide to do, we will support you..."
"But..." Xie Yuan paused and then said, "Mingyue Valley was slaughtered clean by the Liuyun Sect, with at most a few hundred having escaped by luck. How do you plan to rebuild it?"
"Do you need us from the Heavenly Sword Faction to pull out some female elders to join Mingyue Valley?"
