When the Scarlet Clouds Sword was handed over to Mu Chen, this issue had created a huge sensation throughout the Immortal Realm. Everyone had felt that giving a divine tool to a pill cultivator was a dreadful thing. This would undermine the tool's value. Ji Qingyuan had heard of this news before. No one believed that Mu Chen could show the true power of the sword. However, the reality showed something different. Mu Chen's swordplay looked sharp, and his movements were firm. Only those who have personally fought against Mu Chen would be able to feel that fierceness.

Ji Qingyuan suddenly thought about the "relationship" between Mu Chen and Yu Tianyi. He secretly felt fear. Perhaps Yu Tianyi himself wanted to probe? Suppressing the killing intent that he felt, he started to speak on the spot. "This one does not know how Ten Thousand Sword Sect has offended Elder Mu. Is this the way that Lofty Cloudy Sect greets guests?"

Mu Chen asked back in return, "The one that I'm beating up is you! What does that have to do with the Sect? Get over here now! Let's continue!"

This type of attitude provoked the anger of Ji Qingyuan more. It incited his desire to kill. Ji Qingyuan did not have talent that made people hate from jealousy. He also did not have an opportunity that people sought but could not obtain, nor did he have an identity that people could not even hope to reach. Ji Qingyuan carefully observed people to get information, and he made plans step by step. He even compromised with others to make his way up till now. However, this event right now might change everything. Thus, he started to hate. He hated Yu Tianyi, and he also started to hate Mu Chen. He hated everyone that had more than him!

Mu Chen looked at him with a cold expression in his eyes. He knew what the other wanted. The kick that he had given him before had broken the fake mask of the other. He had to say that the true Ji Qingyuan was really disgusting.

He slightly waved his sword around in his hand and gave the person below his feet an indifferent look, not disturbed in the slightest. The hatred that Mu Chen felt for this two-faced thing was for his sneak attack on his disciple in the past. If he killed him now, then he could prevent Ji Qingyuan from coming back to cause trouble again.

Right at this moment, the magical spell boundary suddenly swayed and the mist faded away along with the spell. Mu Chen stopped midair. He heard the crisp sound of a child's voice added with the spiritual power shouting, "Stop!"

Mu Chen's hand stopped, and he turned around in surprise to look at the people that had come. Gu Yunjue sat on top on Chu Qianshuang's shoulders. In his hand, there was a spirit stone that he had taken out of the spell. Gu Yunjue was glaring at him.

How could this trash be dealt with by his Master personally? What if he dirties his Master's hand? His little Master should stay by his side, doing the things that he liked everyday. As for the killing, his Master should just leave it to him.

Gu Yunjue jumped off of Chu Qianshuang's shoulders and ran over two steps. Ever since the small child wearing a smile had spoken, the entire surrounding area had become quiet. Everyone had their sights on him, like there was some kind of a mystical aura that came from him. It was some kind of an innate intimidating aura. In other words, it was the pressuring might of a leader.

Gu Yunjue ignored the people's sighs and their startled, probing gazes. Gu Yunjue's mouth quirked up and he made his way towards Mu Chen. The moonlight made Gu Yunjue's shadow look longer. It momentarily gave Mu Chen the misconception that his disciple could control all three realms with just his hands. All of that looked hidden in this little guy's shadow. It showed that he was always there.

Finally, Gu Yunjue stood underneath Mu Chen. He raised his arms up to him. His tone was gentle as he coaxed him, "Master, come down."

Mu Chen suddenly felt that there was nothing as attractive as the small hands below him.
