Chapter 334: Chapter 303: Going Home_1

“Run!”

Seeing Xu Mu daringly kill a young man at the Nascent Soul Stage, the surrounding cultivators at the Golden Core Stage almost turned witless with fear.

How could there be such a monstrous person in the world?

Their only thought now was to run! The farther they fled, the better!

“We must let the Princess know about this!”

A Golden Core killing a Nascent Soul, this would certainly shake the entire Da Yuan Dynasty to its core, making its way into the history books and becoming a legend.

“Can you guys even run from me?”

Given their abilities, how could they possibly escape from Xu Mu? The white fox puppet casually shot out a few rays of light, effortlessly killing them and utterly crushing their hopes of fleeing.

“Damn it! Why did they shatter!”

Only when Xu Mu was about to search the bodies did he discover that not only had their bodies turned to crystals, but even their storage bags had crystallized and shattered upon touch.

Xu Mu was so frustrated that he almost spit out blood. This was a substantial loss.

“Wait, that Nascent Soul wouldn’t have also—”

Xu Mu hurriedly flew to the location of the young man’s corpse to inspect, only to find what was called the Green Bamboo magical treasure.

“What rotten luck!”

Looking at the similarly shattered storage bag, Xu Mu was on the verge of despair. He had lost a valuable Nascent Soul talisman, and all he got in return was this magical treasure of unknown use.

“If only I hadn’t used the talisman as a probe. After all these years, this is the first time I’ve made a loss!”

Xu Mu looked at the white fox puppet, with a complex mix of love and hate.

He stored the Green Bamboo magical treasure and then cleared the traces after destroying the corpses. Xu Mu continued on his journey.

This time he was much more cautious, immediately using the Virtualization Skill to move faster.

That person in the imperial capital had long since failed to receive any updates from his subordinates, and soon realized that something had gone wrong.

“Could it be that a cultivator of the Nascent Soul Stage has made a move?”

Anyway, she didn’t believe that Xu Mu could have made a counter-kill. In her mind, without intervention from a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, even if they couldn’t subdue Xu Mu, they should have been able to return safely.

“Your Highness, what do we do now? Should we still try to hire someone to make a move?”

“Do you think Nascent Soul cultivators are as common as cabbages? Hire as many as you like! When we don’t know the strength of the opponent, acting rashly will only lead to greater losses. Let’s send someone to probe first, see what kind of strength the person behind him truly has, then it won’t be too late to take action! Let this scoundrel live a few more years! Humph!”

“I’ll arrange it immediately!”

…

More than three months passed.

After five years, Xu Mu again returns to Chi Zhou Prefecture.

“Husband!”

Seeing the returning Xu Mu, Zhao Yan, who had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, was extraordinarily excited.

Being apart for a short while makes the heart grow fonder, let alone after several years.

However, Xu Mu didn’t stay for too long. His relationship with Zhao Yan was merely one of transaction, they were not truly family to him.

So he only stayed for one, two, three…about a hundred times or so.

After leaving behind some resources for cultivation, Xu Mu left Chi Zhou Prefecture and returned to the small space where he had originally crossed over.
