Mu Yunjin observed Yun Lianqing’s reaction for a moment, then curled her lips slightly. “What’s wrong with you? How can you not see there’s a snowy mountain here? What appears before your eyes right now?”

Yun Lianqing narrowed his peach blossom eyes and looked at Mu Yunjin. “You all wouldn’t be joining forces to fool this Crown Prince, would you?”

Mu Yunjin rolled her eyes. “Playing tricks on you at this critical moment? Do we look like we have nothing better to do?”

“…” Yun Lianqing was speechless.

Following Mu Yunjin’s previous question, Yun Lianqing looked at the place where the others had disappeared. It was an empty grassland; how could there possibly be a mountain?

Who was seeing things?

Mu Yunjin lowered her gaze, thinking carefully. When she first entered the Tiansheng Continent a few days ago, everyone in their group could see this snowy mountain at a glance.

And she discovered midway that their enemies couldn’t see this mountain.

But now, how had it become Yun Lianqing’s turn?

After thinking for a moment, Mu Yunjin’s eyes darted around. Suddenly, she grabbed Yun Lianqing’s arm and pulled him toward the direction of the snowy mountain.

When Mu Yunjin’s feet stepped onto the snowy mountain’s ground, a surprising scene occurred—beside her, Yun Lianqing’s body passed directly through the snowy mountain…

Mu Yunjin was slightly stunned. It seemed Yun Lianqing truly couldn’t set foot on this snowy mountain.

At this moment, in Yun Lianqing’s eyes, there was equal surprise, because from his perspective, half of Mu Yunjin’s body had vanished into thin air.

“No wonder this place is desolate. It’s truly not a place for humans.” Yun Lianqing sighed, suddenly feeling as if he had come to be a burden.

Mu Yunjin bit her lip. By now, the other four had already gone up the mountain. Since Yun Lianqing had come to help, they couldn’t just leave him here alone.

But apart from this snowy mountain, dangers lurked everywhere around them, and no place was suitable to go.

“Fine, I’ll take you to find a place to wash your clothes first.” Mu Yunjin glanced at the mud-covered Yun Lianqing and turned to walk down a path to the side.

Yun Lianqing immediately followed.

At this moment, National Master An also came down from the snowy mountain. When he had walked halfway up the mountain, he noticed that Mu Yunjin and Yun Lianqing were still at the foot of the mountain, presumably because some situation had arisen.

To avoid unexpected troubles, he thought it better to follow Mu Yunjin. After all, the other three people on the snowy mountain were safe for the time being.

“National Master, you’re also from Nanting Country. Why can you go up?” Yun Lianqing thought about it and felt disgruntled.

“Your Highness, you’d have to ask the creator of the Tiansheng Continent why such arrangements were made. You ask this old minister, but this old minister doesn’t know either.” National Master An politely replied to Yun Lianqing.

Yun Lianqing snorted and turned his face away.

Mu Yunjin smiled faintly.

Walking on the path, Mu Yunjin lowered her voice and spoke to the two beside her. “There are their people on every mountain nearby. Now that we’ve left the snowy mountain, I’m afraid we’ve already fallen into their line of sight.”

“Oh?” National Master An raised an eyebrow, his gaze scanning around, with a deep, profound look in his eyes. “I can smell the killing intent.”

Just as his words fell, a short flute sound came from the distant valley.

The flute melody was melodious and lingering, coming from afar, and then the originally bright, sunny sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, accompanied by claps of thunder.

Those dark clouds instantly swept across the sky, permeating the entire Tiansheng Continent. Except for the light emitted by lightning, everything else was plunged into darkness.

Accompanied by thunder and lightning, the sound of the short flute still came over one after another, getting closer and closer.

“Quickly cover your ears!” National Master An frowned deeply and let out a shout.

Mu Yunjin immediately covered her ears, and as she did so, she realized she felt somewhat dizzy.

That short flute must also be some kind of divine weapon.

“What a powerful weapon. Look at these lightning bolts; they’re only surrounding our area.” Yun Lianqing noticed some clues.

“Let’s find a place to take shelter first.” National Master An spoke, then with a tap of his toes, he flew forward using his lightness skill.

Mu Yunjin and Yun Lianqing followed closely.

During their flight, those lightning bolts seemed to sense something and struck fiercely toward the three of them, one after another.

At this moment, the three not only had to shield themselves from the sound of the short flute but also carefully avoid these lightning bolts to prevent being struck.

Looking at this situation, Mu Yunjin couldn’t help but sigh—it seemed their opponents had gone all out this time.

……

On the snowy mountain not far away, Qiqi and the others had a clear view of everything Mu Yunjin and her companions were encountering at the foot of the mountain.

“Heavens, what’s happening over there? Except for our snowy mountain, all other places have already had a change in weather!” Qiqi exclaimed, her heart pounding as she watched those lightning bolts.

Jiang Qingxue frowned, tightly clenching her fists. “They must have already begun to suffer the enemy’s attack.”

“Brother Lei Yan, let’s go down the mountain first to help Master and the others!” Qiqi pulled at Lei Yan, about to run down the mountain.

“No, no.” Jiang Qingxue hurriedly stopped Qiqi. “If we go down now, we’ll only cause them more trouble and won’t be able to help at all.”

Qiqi halted her steps and bit her lip. “This is infuriating! These villains are all cowards. They don’t dare to confront us face to face but instead use all these tricks to deplete our energy.”

“They’re doing this because they’re not confident. That’s why they’re putting in so much effort. Everyone needs to be extra careful this time,” Jiang Qingxue said.

Qiqi nodded, her heart suspended high with worry.

……

Mu Yunjin felt that no matter how fast she moved, those lightning bolts still followed her firmly, striking down one after another with no sign of stopping.

The sound of the short flute also continued.

As she was flying, Mu Yunjin looked at the mountains on either side. Suddenly, inspiration struck. She tilted her body and flew toward a mountain.

Since there were their accomplices on every mountain, she might as well draw them into the game too.

Strike one down, count one!

National Master An and Yun Lianqing seemed to understand Mu Yunjin’s intention. The two didn’t fly to the same mountain as her but headed toward other mountain peaks.

Mu Yunjin quickly ascended the mountain, deliberately choosing to walk through some grassy paths.

In the grass, many tree people were lying in ambush. They hadn’t yet reacted to all this when they looked up to see Mu Yunjin running wildly toward them, with lightning bolts by her side.

Those tree people watched as the lightning bolts were about to strike them. Just as they were about to dodge, Mu Yunjin seemed to seize the opportunity. She flew up and then forcefully landed her foot on their heads, pressing their bodies down.

When Mu Yunjin left, they raised their heads again, only for a lightning bolt to quickly strike down. In an instant, they lost all consciousness…

In a short time, more than half of the tree people on the mountain where Mu Yunjin was were easily eliminated by her using this method.

At this moment, the tree people hiding in higher places, seeing the scene below, couldn’t help but tremble.

“Heavens, this woman is truly ingenious, making our people fight each other,” one tree person complained.

“Don’t mention it. I think our leader was duped. We were living so freely in the frontier tribes; why did we have to get involved in this trouble?”

“Sigh, it’s too late for regrets now. Those below are brothers we’ve played with for several years in the tribe, and now they’re all…”

……

When Mu Yunjin reached the top of the mountain, the sound of the short flute suddenly disappeared.

The lightning bolts that had been following her also suddenly became intermittent, and the dark clouds that had filled the sky gradually dissipated, restoring the daytime clear sky.

Seeing this, Mu Yunjin’s body steadily landed on the ground. She stood in place, taking several deep breaths.

That wave just now truly didn’t allow for any relaxation.

After calming her internal breath, Mu Yunjin glanced to the side and noticed something unusual in the grass. She raised her eyebrow slightly.

Then, she leisurely adjusted her clothes, lightly coughed, and with a flick of her hand, sent several flying daggers toward the grass.

“Ouch…”

“Oh my…”

Cries of alarm immediately came from the grass, and two tree people shuddered and instinctively jumped out of the grass.

When they looked up and saw Mu Yunjin standing with folded arms, smiling at them, they suddenly felt as if death had descended.

It was over…

They had delivered themselves to her doorstep.

Mu Yunjin narrowed her eyes and looked over these two people. Their skin was dark, and their builds were sturdy. From their appearance, they seemed to be people from the frontier.

Presumably, all the tree people lying in ambush on these mountaintops were those tribal people.

“Where are Black Robe Autumn Leaf and the others now?” Mu Yunjin’s voice was cold as she looked at the two tree people in front of her.

The two glanced at each other, lowered their heads, and didn’t speak.

“You two, is it that you don’t know, or that you don’t want to tell me?” Mu Yunjin asked patiently.

As she asked, she observed the subtle expressions on their faces and the movements of their hands.

“Not speaking? Then I’ll assume you don’t want to tell me…”

Mu Yunjin prolonged the final syllable, and at the end, she pointed to the sky. “Look up at this sky. Isn’t it beautiful?”

The two looked up.

“Beautiful, isn’t it?” Mu Yunjin asked.

The two nodded instinctively.

“Hmm, it’s good that you find it beautiful, because you’re about to never see it again…” As Mu Yunjin finished speaking, her Phoenix Tail Whip had already emerged from her wrist and wrapped around the neck of one of them.

That person’s face turned pale instantly.

The person beside him was also so frightened that his heart skipped a beat.

Although they had lived in the frontier for many years and had long since put life and death aside, dying like this seemed too unfair…

Moreover… moreover…

Telling this woman the whereabouts of that black-robed monster didn’t seem like a big deal…

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk…” The man licked his lips, choosing to compromise.

Mu Yunjin raised her lips, looked at the man, and waited for his answer.

“That black-robed monster is over there… ah…” The man had just raised his hand and hadn’t yet pointed to a location when his pupils suddenly dilated, his body leaned forward, and he fell to the ground, dead.

A dagger had somehow been stuck into the back of his head.

Mu Yunjin narrowed her eyes and glanced around. She had been so focused on the tree person that she hadn’t even noticed from which direction the dagger had flown.

In the blink of an eye, such a big living person had been silenced.

These people were really interesting; they had all hidden themselves!

The tree person who was currently having his neck wrapped by Mu Yunjin’s whip was now frightened beyond measure, deeply afraid that a dagger would also fly into the back of his head.

He understood the current situation.

Their tribesmen, sent here, were going to die one way or another…

In that case, wouldn’t it be better to watch these two factions duel early, fight to mutual destruction, and a life-and-death struggle?

With that thought, he looked up at Mu Yunjin and mouthed six words to her:

“In the bamboo grove to the south.”
