After hearing the old village chief's analysis, everyone thought it made sense, and their gaze at Mu Jinyu became quite peculiar.

Some people's eyes also carried a wolf-like greed, as if they really wanted to swallow Mu Jinyu whole, skin and bones.

Mu Jinyu muttered inwardly, 'Is it necessary for these people to act like this? Just because of a spiritual medicine, they start behaving like cannibals?'

However, he did not realize that due to the thin foreign bloodline within them, these people found it difficult to absorb the Origin Qi scattered in the world for cultivation, and they were unwilling to walk the hard Humanity Path Cultivation Path. Their desire for the Blood Ganoderma was beyond his imagination.

If eating people would make them stronger, they wouldn't hesitate.

"Alright, now that the matter is clear, everyone can disperse!"

The old village chief shook his head slightly and then opened his mouth to disperse the villagers who had come upon hearing the news, telling them to leave.

Some people learned that Old Li got what he deserved and left directly, but many others were unwilling to leave just like that.

"Chief, no matter what Old Li did, he is ultimately a villager of Xiaolin Village. This brat just killed him like that, isn't that bad?"

"Yes, although Old Li's actions were inappropriate, he was just in a daze. He could have knocked Old Li unconscious, there was no need to kill him."

"Hmm, I think this matter can't end just like this. A life for a life!"

"..."

Listening to their righteous words, Mu Jinyu suddenly looked at them with an incredulous expression, unable to believe they could say such things.

The old village chief immediately scowled and scolded angrily, "What nonsense are you all spouting? Even though Old Li was one of our villagers, does that mean he could harm others over some uncertain rumors? Saying he was just in a daze and shouldn't be killed? At the time, he sneaked into Jinyu's room, and upon discovery, he immediately tried to kill Mu Jinyu. Isn't it deserved that he was killed in self-defense? You still want a life for a life, how shameless can you be?"

Someone argued insistently, "But Old Li was still Li Hu's father! He died today, and if we don't react, do you think Li Hu will let it go calmly when he returns from Qinghe Sect?"

"Exactly, if this brat sneaks away, leaving us villagers to bear Li Hu's wrath, why should we be scapegoats for him?"

"That's right, a life for a life; if we don't kill him today, Li Hu will come for us in the future! We're protecting ourselves, Chief!"

The group insisted more forcefully, feeling justified, as if they were acting on heaven's behalf.

"Hahaha..."

Mu Jinyu suddenly burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing at, brat?!"

Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's mocking laughter, some villagers angrily questioned him.

Mu Jinyu said in a cold voice, "I laugh at your shamelessness; clearly, you're all coveting my flesh and blood, hoping that devouring it will enrich your filthy foreign bloodline, yet you dress it up grandiosely, wanting me to surrender willingly for your slaughter!"

"Hmph, considering Grandpa Ji and my master's kindness in saving and teaching me, I won't slaughter you all here today. If any of you wish to kill me, just do it yourselves, stop pretending to stand for righteousness!"

Having said that, Mu Jinyu's Qi-Blood peaked, erupting with an unmatched Qi Force, blowing the grass hut he was temporarily residing in to smithereens!

The villagers who had been blushing, wanting to argue with Mu Jinyu, were immediately silenced in shock.

Mu Jinyu ignored them and directly looked toward the old village chief and Elder Ji, whose faces were troubled yet helpless, and knelt before them.

"Master, Grandpa Ji, Jinyu thanks you for your grace in saving my life and imparting teachings. I originally intended to stay in Xiaolin Village a bit longer before leaving, but with these people becoming twisted in nature and losing all sense of right and wrong, it's unwise for me to remain here lest further killings occur. Apologies, farewell…"

After speaking, Mu Jinyu kowtowed three times heavily to them, then stood up and walked briskly towards the village entrance.

"Sigh..."

The old village chief and Elder Ji watched Mu Jinyu's leaving figure, their eyes flickering and lips moved slightly, wanting to persuade him, but ultimately they sighed deeply without trying to retain him.

They understood that with the detection of Mu Jinyu's Pureblooded Human Race bloodline and the Blood Ganoderma incident this morning, he was already estranged from the villagers, further compounded by Old Li's death tonight.

Mu Jinyu would find it difficult to stay if he didn't leave; people would look at him with different eyes!

Perhaps a departure would be a release for both sides!

"Sigh..."

The old village chief sighed faintly, feeling somewhat melancholic.

"Stop!"

"Killed someone and now running, speaking so grandiosely, die!"

The villagers were initially stunned by Mu Jinyu's words, momentarily speechless, but as they saw Mu Jinyu walking faster and about to leave Xiaolin Village, some people's eyes flickered, realizing they couldn't let Mu Jinyu leave just like that.

If he escaped tonight and they remained inactive, by the time they secretly sought out Mu Jinyu later, even if they found him and captured him again, the medicine power of the Blood Ganoderma might have been wasted by Mu Jinyu.

Thus, even with the old village chief and Elder Ji watching, they had to take the risk!

If they attacked Mu Jinyu together and killed him in one blow, they could then safely enjoy the Blood Ganoderma flesh and blood!

The old village chief and Elder Ji couldn't do anything about them.

After all, the law doesn't punish the masses!

After all, if he's dead, the flesh shouldn't go to waste!

Immediately, after exchanging a glance, they made a decision; a burly man let out an angry roar, stomped hard, the ground trembled, and his figure leapt into the air, walking in mid-air like a flying bird, rapidly charging towards Mu Jinyu!

"Hmph, courting death!"

Hearing the commotion behind him, Mu Jinyu halted his steps, then coldly turned around and punched towards the charging burly figure!

"Boom!!"

As he punched out, the Qi-Blood surged turbulently, his whole bloodline expanding, the Qi-Blood bursting forth like an enraged tiger pouncing on its prey!

"Bang!!"

With Qi-Blood surging like tides, overwhelming and endless, the burly man found it hard to leverage in mid-air. Upon confronting Mu Jinyu's punch, that arm exploded into bloody mud and flew, followed by his whole body also exploding!

"Ah!!"

The splattered flesh, infused with terrifying Murderous Aura, killed the surrounding villagers who had followed the burly man to surround Mu Jinyu before they could even begin their assault!

"Hmph!"

Wiping out dozens of villagers with a punch, Mu Jinyu's expression was cold, tinged with a bit of sorrow, he then glanced deeply at those other villagers, who were now fearful and dared not approach. With another helpless glance at the old village chief, he turned and walked out of the village.

"Brother Jinyu..."

At that moment, a young, alarmed, helpless voice suddenly rang out.

Mu Jinyu froze!

That voice is...

Ji Xiaoyun!
