Mu Shao'ai took out two pieces of Spiritual Medicine for Mu Jinyu and said, "You mentioned Soul Shatter Grass, Soul-Hiding Flower, Nether River Flower and the like, Master may not have them here, it'll take some time to find them, but these two Spiritual Medicines, Master just happens to have them, take them."

Mu Jinyu received them, feeling a burst of satisfaction and joy in his heart.

After going through countless hardships, he finally managed to gather these twelve types of Spiritual Medicine. Next, he can finally switch Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan back to their respective bodies.

"Thank you, Master."

After speaking, Mu Jinyu took the Sect Leader of the Wuji Sect and Baiyang Palace and set out on the journey back to the Heavenly Sword Faction.

As for the Chen Family Ancestor, because of Wen Rou, and also this place is their sect gate, Mu Jinyu had just utilized the sect gate to battle Master, he couldn't ask him to follow back, so he let him stay and rest at home.

And Mu Shao'ai did not go with his own disciple, of course, he must go to settle those forces that once hunted him down one by one.

His disciple is not to be bullied by others!

...

Half a day later.

Mu Jinyu returned to the Heavenly Sword Faction.

Upon re-entering the Heavenly Sword Faction, Xie Chenkun and others who arrived upon receiving the news curiously asked, "Why are you back so soon?"

They remembered that before Mu Jinyu left, he mentioned settling accounts with more than twenty forces, and since their regions were not close to each other, they guessed it would take at least ten days or half a month for Mu Jinyu to return.

But unexpectedly, he returned in just a few days.

Could it be that he gave up on settling accounts?

"The matters have been resolved. From now on, we don't have to hide anymore." Mu Jinyu said with a smile.

Then, he informed everyone about his Master being the Master of Heavenly Palace.

However, to prevent any unexpected changes, he did not mention that Mu Shao'ai killed the original Master of Heavenly Palace and took over the position. He only explained that after being accepted as a disciple by Mu Shao'ai as a child, he was unaware of the other's identity and only found out now, realizing the other was the Master of Heavenly Palace.

And previously, when he was being hunted, the Heavenly Palace didn't intervene because his Master wanted to temper him.

The crowd suddenly understood upon hearing Mu Jinyu's explanation.

No wonder.

No wonder Mu Jinyu's talent is so astonishing, and also why the Heavenly Palace remained inactive during the recent upheaval at the Kunlun Ruins, it was for this reason.

After realizing this, Yan Ran, Yun Ge, and others looked at Mu Jinyu with eyes full of envy, and congratulated him on finding a Master.

With such a strong backing and Mu Jinyu's power, he can indeed walk unhindered in Kunlun Ruins from now on.

No one will dare bully him as someone with no backing anymore.

Mu Jinyu wasn't very concerned about these things; the only joy he felt after encountering his Master was their reunion and discovering the true culprit who killed Xiang Mantang's parents wasn't his Master. Additionally, he obtained the last two pieces of Spiritual Medicine, finally allowing Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan to be free.

After briefly chatting with Xie Chenkun and others, Mu Jinyu immediately returned to Courtyard No.1 of Tianlan Peak to find Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan.

"Little Yanzi."

Upon returning to the courtyard, Mu Jinyu did not first look for Wen Rou or inform her of Chen Shuyi's relationship with the Chen Family, but he went to find Jian Ruyan first.

Because he needed to verify once again whether his Master's words were true or not.

"What's up?"

Jian Ruyan was still silently cultivating when she saw Mu Jinyu intruding into her room, she opened her eyes and looked at him in confusion and curiosity.

She was still thinking, how long had she been cultivating?

Why did Mu Jinyu return so quickly?

Mu Jinyu looked at Jian Ruyan and spoke, "I met the Heaven Palace Master."

"What?!" Jian Ruyan was shocked, her pupils constricted sharply, like needles, filled with fear, hatred, and despair.

Clearly, she feared the Heavenly Palace Master to the extreme.

Mu Jinyu saw this and knew that his Master was right about one thing: Jian Ruyan must have seen the former Heavenly Palace Master, otherwise she wouldn't show such an expression.

Mu Jinyu asked, "Have you seen him? Does he look like this?"

Saying that, Mu Jinyu approached Jian Ruyan, his finger pointing at her forehead, transmitting the images of his battle with Mu Shao'ai before the latter's identity was revealed, allowing Jian Ruyan to experience Mu Shao'ai's demeanor, aura, and other aspects.

Jian Ruyan's face turned pale, her body trembled, she closed her eyes tightly, and said in a trembling voice, "It's him...it's him...it's that devil..."

"Is it truly him? Can you verify carefully if there's any difference?" Mu Jinyu asked earnestly.

Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Jian Ruyan's fearful expression slightly calmed, then she began to disprove whether the Man in Black Robe was different from her memory of the Heavenly Palace Master.

Soon, Jian Ruyan spoke, her tone much relaxed, "It's not him, it's someone impersonating the Heaven Palace Master, how did you encounter him?"

Mu Jinyu said, "He is my and your brother's Master. He told me he killed the Heavenly Palace Master in revenge for your family, then occupied the position for certain reasons, impersonating as the Heaven Palace Master. But I'm still not sure if what he said is true..."

At first, Mu Jinyu had great faith in Mu Shao'ai's words, but after returning to the Heavenly Sword Faction, he suddenly remembered the time Xiang Mantang mistakenly thought Shen Cangsheng had sent an assassin who was actually his sister, Xiang Yinxui, almost causing her death.

So he became wary, fearing that this was a scheme by the Heavenly Palace Master, pretending to be his Master Mu Shao'ai, or that his Master had truly changed, wanting to seize his Dragon Blood.

Therefore, he specially sought out Jian Ruyan to verify the truth.

After all, very few people had seen the Heavenly Palace Master, and Jian Ruyan had seen him once because of her unique bloodline.

And no matter how well one can disguise themselves, it's impossible to completely become someone else.

"What?" Jian Ruyan's face changed drastically after hearing Mu Jinyu's explanation, "You mean the Heaven Palace Master died at your Master's hands?"

"Yes, he said this..."

Mu Jinyu then transmitted the scene his Master sent him to Jian Ruyan, letting her see if the Man in Black Robe fighting Mu Shao'ai was the Heavenly Palace Master.

After watching this scene, Jian Ruyan's expression became extremely complex, her eyes hazy with joy, excitement, relief, and a hint of faint regret.

Apparently, she regretted not being able to personally avenge her parents.

After coming to her senses, Jian Ruyan nodded, "Yes, that Man in Black Robe is indeed the Heavenly Palace Master..."

"Then the purpose for your return to Huaxia, staying by Ah-Xiang's side, was truly to refine purer Phoenix's Blood?" Mu Jinyu asked.

"Yes, it is..." Jian Ruyan's face showed some embarrassment; after all, no matter if she didn't put it into action, it was still hard to explain clearly to others. But since Mu Jinyu already knew, she thought there was no need to hide it.

Finally, she nodded and confessed.

"That's why I never dared to speak out, I had prepared to die with my brother in the end... Unexpectedly, that's why I didn't take action. After meeting my brother again, I didn't face any reprisals, it turns out that guy is dead!"

Jian Ruyan smiled with a sigh.
