"He was an elder from the Fate Clan, a Martial Sage," Mu Chen said.

"Martial Sage? But he didn't have any wounds on him! He just lost his soul and aura. How did he die?" Ye Shi asked, skeptical.

Mu Chen smiled and said, "He wanted to possess me, so I burned him to death with Heavenly Fire."

Ye Shi admired him with shining eyes and said, "Mu Chen, you're amazing. Even a Martial Sage is no match for you. Mu Chen, you're going to be invincible."

Ling Chuan cleared his throat twice, secretly rolling his eyes. Being invincible is not that easy. Mu Chen was able to kill the Martial Sage purely by chance.

If that Martial Sage hadn't become too arrogant and fought with real weapons, Mu Chen would have been killed several times over.

"Unfortunately, that woman disappeared," Mu Chen frowned.

Ye Shi blinked and asked, "Who is that woman?"

"It's a martial sage woman from the Fate Clan, probably called Zhuang Yaoyue. She also wanted to possess me," Mu Chen explained.

Ye Shi furrowed his brow and asked with a somber expression, "Where did she go now?"

Mu Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Ye Shi furrowed his brow and asked, "Then where is the alchemy book? Did Zhuang Yaoyue get it?"

Mu Chen shook his head and said, "No, I absorbed Zhuang Tianyang's soul memory. The alchemy book is guarded by a level nine formation, which Zhuang Tianyang couldn't break. So, she probably can't either."

Ye Shi nodded and said, "That's good."

Thinking of Zhuang Tianyang's soul power, Mu Chen couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen and asked, "What's wrong?"

Mu Chen helplessly said, "Nothing, it's just that Zhuang Tianyang's soul power, I absorbed it too hastily and didn't get it completely intact. Otherwise..."

The soul power of the Elder of the Fate Clan was incredibly precious.

After absorbing Zhuang Tianyang's soul power, Mu Chen finally understood the power of the Fate Clan. In the past, the three people who took over the Five Spirit Tower were all Martial Sages. Even Zhuang Tianyu, who was equal in status to Zhuang Yu and Zhuang Jin, became a Martial Sage.

The Fate Clan also had two super Elders, whose strength was unknown.

Zhuang Tianyang was a level nine alchemist, and his mastery of other martial arts had also reached level eight. Unfortunately, Zhuang Tianyang's soul power was mostly burned by the fire, and he didn't receive the complete inheritance of the Fate Clan's abilities.

"In that case, your safety is the most important," Ling Chuan said helplessly.

Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes!"

Ye Shi said casually, "Didn't you say there is another woman? Just capture her and possess her."

Ling Chuan rolled his eyes. Capturing a three-star Martial Sage and possessing her was not an easy task. Even if they managed to capture her by chance, if she self-destructed, they would all be dead. In other words, circumstances like Zhuang Tianyang's were rare and couldn't be sought after.

Ling Chuan crossed his arms and thoughtfully said, "Since the alchemy book is guarded by a level nine formation, that woman probably can't get her hands on it either. Let's first find a way to bring your father-in-law in."

Mu Chen nodded and said, "That's a good idea."

Mu Chen realized that he could freely enter the last gate, but Ling Chuan, Ye Shi, and the others couldn't. So, Mu Chen had no choice but to bring Bai Chenxing and Bai Chengfeng into the Spirit Tower.

After bringing Bai Chenxing and the others into the central palace, Mu Chen released them from the Spirit Tower.

...

As soon as Qu Kun was released from the Spirit Tower by Mu Chen, his expression changed.

Mu Chen looked at Qu Kun and asked, "Grandfather, what's wrong?"

Qu Kun frowned and said, "I can sense the aura of the Heavenly Tribulation here."

Ye Shi was astonished and said, "Can you feel it?"

Qu Kun nodded and said, "Yes."

Ye Shi was originally a nine-star Martial Maestro, but giving birth to a child consumed a lot of his vitality, causing his strength to regress. Otherwise, Ye Shi should have been able to sense the aura of the Heavenly Tribulation.

"Kun, are you going to breakthrough? Then go ahead, I'll protect you," Ling Chuan said.

Qu Kun frowned and looked at Mu Chen, asking, "Will it delay your time?"

Mu Chen replied indifferently, "Grandfather, don't worry, it won't make a difference." Zhuang Tianyang and Zhuang Yaoyue had already entered the central hall before he did. If there were any benefits to be obtained, they should have already taken them.

"In fact, with Zhuang Tianyang's dead body, even if we can't get anything else later, we are still the biggest winners on this journey," Mu Chen said with a smile.

Qu Kun nodded. Bai Chenxing quickly set up the Spirit Saint Formation for Qu Kun. The formation arranged by Bai Chenxing made several improvements on top of the Spirit Maestro Formation upgraded by Ye Shi, making it more effective.

The Heavenly Tribulation in the sky descended with a loud crash. Zhuang Yaoyue watched from a distance and felt a surge of depression in her heart.

A Martial Saint was not something Zhuang Yaoyue paid much attention to. However, while Mu Chen and the others had smoothly increased their overall strength, her clan had lost two Martial Sage experts in a row. When Zhuang Yaoyue thought about this, she couldn't help but feel bitter.

Zhuang Yaoyue closed her eyes. Even if she could retreat unscathed, the value of the Ninth Grade alchemy book was ultimately lower than the two Martial Sage elders of her clan. Even if she returned to the clan with the Ninth Grade alchemy book, she would be criticized by the other elders.

When she saw Mu Chen using Soul Stealing Technique on Zhuang Tianyang, she wished that she should have launched a surprise attack on Mu Chen without giving him the time to release Ling Chuan.
