Although Mu Jinyu said not to pay attention to the three, after all, they were three powerful figures of Merging Paths, and Xie Yuan and the others couldn't really ignore them.

While speaking with Mu Jinyu, they still glanced towards them from time to time, with a look of fear, as if worried that they might suddenly erupt and harm someone.

Seeing this, Mu Jinyu had no choice but to let them leave first and return to his courtyard at the Tianlan Peak Summit.

At this moment, some people received the news and hurried up the mountain. Seeing Mu Jinyu, they joyfully shouted:

"Young Master!"

"Brother Mu."

Mu Jinyu turned his head and, upon seeing the visitors, a look of surprise and delight appeared in his eyes.

The visitors were Ji Li and Yan Ran.

Mu Jinyu had already guessed Ji Li's situation, probably coming to the Heavenly Sword Faction, so he wasn't too worried about her; meeting her here was within expectations.

However, as Yan Ran, the new ruler of Yan Kingdom, Mu Jinyu had thought he was already dead. He didn't expect to meet him here, which was beyond his expectations and brought him great joy.

The guilt in his heart also eased somewhat.

"King of Yan, it's good to see you're unharmed..."

Mu Jinyu rose to greet him with a smile.

After conversing with the two, Mu Jinyu roughly understood their situation.

When the news of the Wu Family chasing him came from the Kunlun Ruins, Ji Li initially wanted to set out to help but knew she wasn't strong enough and might become a burden, so she didn't act rashly. She then thought that if the enemies couldn't do anything to him, they might target his kin, so she brought disciples from Mingyue Valley to the Heavenly Sword Faction.

As for Yan Ran, he happened to be at the Heavenly Sword Faction on business a while ago. After staying for a few days, when he was about to return to the court, he encountered the Wu Family and Divine Formation Sect attacking the Heavenly Sword Faction, venting their anger on Mu Jinyu's kin, thus narrowly escaping disaster.

Though trapped inside the Heavenly Sword Faction, when Divine Formation Sect and the others taunted after failing to breach, he learned that Yan Kingdom had already been destroyed and Yan Chengyun and others had perished.

Upon hearing their account, while relieved for their narrow escape, the original guilt and anger at his kin being implicated surged in Mu Jinyu's heart again.

Then, Mu Jinyu mentioned to everyone that it wasn't just Yan Kingdom that suffered; even those not his friends, as long as they had some connection to him or places he passed through, were also targeted!

Upon learning that Demon Slaying City, Beixue Mountain Villa, and others were all destroyed, Xie Yuan, Ji Li, and others couldn't help but sigh in sorrow, simultaneously feeling furious.

"This is truly despicable. It's one thing to vent anger on your kin, but even the places you only passed through and cities without any connection are targeted, harming innocents!"

"It's outrageous! Who came up with such a plan? It's deliberately trying to induce your guilt, forcing you to appear and fall into their trap!"

Hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Xie Yuan and the others were filled with both anger and hatred, realizing that during the siege at the Heavenly Sword Faction, Mu Jinyu actually had it worse than they did.

"Yes, I haven't had the time to find out who made this decision. Although the sect leaders hunting me are dead, I must settle this account with them one by one!"

Mu Jinyu's eyes flashed with a cold killing intent as he spoke slowly.

Although Wu Xiongfei and Jing Haosi were dead, his grudge with them was not over yet.

These enmities must be settled!

Previously, he planned to launch a surprise attack on Divine Formation Sect, surround Wei to save Zhao, and return to the Heavenly Sword Faction to rescue, but the plan failed, nearly trapping him as a prey for Wu Xiongfei and Jing Haosi.

Afterward, Mu Jinyu went on the run to the Extremely Cold Hell, and until now, he hasn't figured out who devised such a vicious plan back then.

However, Mu Jinyu could guess that the person might be within the Divine Formation Sect. After all, due to various clues, he targeted the Divine Formation Sect first, but instead fell into an ambush.

Clearly, this person deliberately left those clues to lure him in.

Regardless of whether the person is from Divine Formation Sect, Mu Jinyu is prepared to visit Divine Formation Sect first to settle scores!

Afterward, Mu Jinyu produced a few hundred storage bags and handed them to Xie Yuan and Ji Li, also giving some to Yan Ran, so that with these resources, he could restore Yan Kingdom.

"Brother Yan, don't refuse. If not for me, Yan Kingdom wouldn't have suffered such a disaster. Consider this a little gesture from me. Please accept it."

Faced with the large resources Mu Jinyu offered, Yan Ran was unwilling to accept. Mu Jinyu persuaded him.

Finally, after much persuasion from Mu Jinyu and the others, Yan Ran accepted.

Then, Mu Jinyu advised them not to hurry to leave the Heavenly Sword Faction, fearing that his next actions might cause a massive upheaval, ultimately drawing intervention from the Heavenly Palace.

Ji Li and Yan Ran agreed, and after having a meal, they each left.

Mu Jinyu also took Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan to visit Elder Cheng, handing over various pill formulas he had collected along the way.

After reminiscing, Mu Jinyu returned to his courtyard at Tianlan Peak.

Mu Jinyu invited Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan to his room, then took out six heaven-reaching spiritual treasures and said to them, "See which weapon you like."

These six heaven-reaching spiritual treasures were obtained by Mu Jinyu after dealing with Wu Xiongfei and others, including the Li Fire God Furnace, Eight Desolations Cauldron, Divine Formation Disc, Bronze Halberd, Golden Bell, and Purple Gold Divine Thunder Hammer.

Given that Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan's cultivation levels were hard to improve currently, staying with him grew increasingly dangerous with limited ability for self-defense, gifting them a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure for protection could provide a bit more safety.

Among the six heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, due to appearance, Purple Gold Divine Thunder Hammer and Bronze Halberd were immediately eliminated by Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan.

Too unattractive, if there were no other options, they might hold onto them for protection, but since there were choices, they naturally didn't want these cumbersome pieces.

Subsequently, Wen Rou chose the Eight Desolations Cauldron while Jian Ruyan selected the Golden Bell.

"I'll have this one..."

At this moment, the Little Phoenix came out, clinging onto the Li Fire God Furnace without letting go, speaking to Mu Jinyu.

"You, a Spirit Beast, can use a magic treasure?" Mu Jinyu was surprised by Little Phoenix's action and said.

"Of course, why are you belittling me?" Little Phoenix said disdainfully.

Mu Jinyu shrugged, "But you aren't human."

"Doesn't matter, are you giving it or not?!" Little Phoenix angrily demanded.

"Alright, since I have no use for it now, you can use it first, but remember to return it later," Mu Jinyu nodded.

"What's given out doesn't come back! No way!" Little Phoenix refused.

Mu Jinyu, speechless, said: "But I'm not giving it to you; consider it borrowed. It's a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, and we have no particular relationship, why should I give such a sect's treasure to you?"

"Unless..." Mu Jinyu pondered for a moment, speaking slowly under Little Phoenix's anxious gaze, "you acknowledge being my Spirit Pet..."

"Get lost!"

Enraged, Little Phoenix swung the Li Fire God Furnace at Mu Jinyu!
