Dragon King Hall's Legend

"It indeed appears very powerful, but the guy I performed a soul search on was too weak, so I couldn't really determine the strength of this old man..."

"However, judging from this old man's aura, he should at least be at the Late Stage Hedao Realm."

Mu Jinyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he muttered to himself.

With a slight shake of his head, Mu Jinyu stopped thinking about it.

After all, he had long been at odds with Paradise Lost, so what if this old man's strength was unrivaled? Even if he did not eliminate Paradise Lost today, they would inevitably clash face-to-face sooner or later!

With Mu Jinyu's current strength, the emergence of a Late Stage Hedao Realm enemy wasn't enough to make him feel despair.

Then, as Mu Jinyu looked at the bodies of the eleven people, he showed a look of regret.

He sighed, "Alas, it's such a pity, these people are too fragile. Just a simple soul search and their souls were shattered. I was thinking of using them to forge a Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure..."

All along the way, he used Bai Xiaosheng as a shield, killed many exotic beasts cultivating the Divine Path, and collected their souls, preparing to use them for creating an artifact spirit for the Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure in due time.

The eleven people from Paradise Lost were also practicing the Divine Path, theoretically suitable for creating an artifact spirit for the Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure.

Mu Jinyu originally intended to save their souls after the soul search, especially the soul of the Hedao Realm one, which could definitely make a remarkable Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure.

Unfortunately, perhaps they were too traumatized; even a soul search, which doesn't significantly harm them, became the last straw that broke their spirits, causing their souls to collapse instantly before the search was complete.

Yin Li, hearing Mu Jinyu's words, curiously asked, "If you wanted to keep their souls for forging the Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, then why soul search them? Wouldn't searching one person's soul be enough?!"

Mu Jinyu glanced at her and explained, "You don't understand. Everyone's experiences are different. Although they're high-ups in Paradise Lost, their knowledge about Paradise Lost varies, so to collect comprehensive information, I must perform a complete soul search on all of them."

"Oh." Yin Li, upon hearing Mu Jinyu's explanation, nodded thoughtfully. She then realized that though she was from the Divine Silkworm Clan and knew a lot about it, she wasn't very familiar with her parents' experiences or the older history of the Divine Silkworm Clan, so what Mu Jinyu said indeed made sense.

Then, Yin Li snapped back to reality and asked Mu Jinyu, "Is everything resolved now? Can we go back?"

She felt the place was boring and kind of wanted to go back early to eat ice cream.

Mu Jinyu, knowing Yin Li's thoughts, smiled and comforted her, "Don't rush back. We'll continue hunting exotic beasts here for a while, then go find the Ancestral Dragon Evil God and the head of Paradise Lost..."

"So much to do?" Yin Li frowned when she heard Mu Jinyu's words, feeling troubled.

Mu Jinyu said, "It's not much. The head is likely with the Ancestral Dragon Evil God. After we wander around here, we can go to the next place, and it'll basically be done."

"Alright then." Yin Li nodded after hearing this.

She hesitated and then asked, "But aren't you eager to deal with the Evil Dragon? If it revives, won't it be catastrophic? Why waste time here? The exotic beast's divine soul shouldn't be more important than that, right?"

Mu Jinyu answered, "Dealing with the Evil Dragon's revival is indeed important, but I'm checking here not just for the exotic beast's divine soul but to see if there's anything peculiar here. Since it has been suppressing our souls, I'm worried there might be other problems..."

"That's true." Yin Li thought for a moment, agreeing that Mu Jinyu was right, and then sensed where other life forms might be.

"In the back..."

Mu Jinyu, hearing this, after finding nothing useful from searching the eleven corpses and the house, led Yin Li to the location she sensed.

Soon enough, they arrived at the location.

They saw a black shadow swaying off the ground, trying to rise.

It turned out the life signal Yin Li sensed was Bai Xiaosheng.

"Hmm?"

Mu Jinyu turned to look at Yin Li, slightly exasperated.

Yin Li stuck out her tongue and remembered Bai Xiaosheng, then quickly hid back into Mu Jinyu's embrace.

Even though he knew Yin Li's existence might have already been known by the Omniscient.

Mu Jinyu still wished Bai Xiaosheng didn't witness Yin Li's presence to prevent him from noticing anything strange.

"Ugh... My head is spinning..."

Bai Xiaosheng shook his head as he stood up, not noticing Yin Li's appearance, feeling as if he had drunk several barrels of fake wine, struggling to speak coherently.

"Are you all right... Mr. Bai..."

Mu Jinyu inquired with concern.

"I'm fine..." Bai Xiaosheng shook his head again, then saw Mu Jinyu's demeanor and hastily corrected himself, stuttering, "Not fine, not fine, I feel terrible..."

He realized to avoid being used again by Mu Jinyu for illusion techniques, leaving him in a muddled, unclear state, so he quickly changed his response to he wasn't well.

Mu Jinyu saw Bai Xiaosheng's fear and couldn't help but find it amusing.

This guy was nothing like his previous wise demeanor when facing the Withered Wood Taoist or Amalia!

With a chuckle, Mu Jinyu said, "Then Mr. Bai, you should rest here first, I'll go find it myself..."

After saying that, taking Yin Li's cues, Mu Jinyu turned and rushed in another direction.

Bai Xiaosheng watched Mu Jinyu leave, a bit stunned.

Afterward, he fell into contemplation.

He wanted to follow and see how Mu Jinyu found Paradise Lost's high-ups and chief to gather their information, afraid of missing important news. But he also feared if he followed, Mu Jinyu might again turn him into an idiot, making following him pointless...

After thinking it over, Bai Xiaosheng decided to follow stealthily.

Mu Jinyu soon sensed an exotic beast's presence and swiftly dealt with it, taking its soul, when he heard Yin Li's reminder, "That guy is sneakingly following us."

Mu Jinyu's Divine Sense was drastically suppressed, so he hadn't noticed Bai Xiaosheng tailing them.

Upon hearing Yin Li's guidance, it took him a moment to register who it was, then realized it was Bai Xiaosheng.

Thinking it through, Mu Jinyu understood Bai Xiaosheng's rationale.

He must want to understand matters concerning Paradise Lost yet fears being duped again by tagging along.

"Heh, never mind him..."

Mu Jinyu chuckled mildly, continuing on his path towards the next point indicated by Yin Li.

Soon, after dealing with three exotic beasts.

Following Yin Li's sense, they arrived before a Pyramid.

Reaching here, Mu Jinyu's footsteps involuntarily slowed down.

"Here it is..."

Arriving here, Mu Jinyu felt his divine sense perception further subdued to an extremely terrifying degree; he could hardly project his Divine Sense externally, almost rendering him an ordinary person.

With a solemn gaze upon the Pyramid, Mu Jinyu's eyes revealed both apprehension and eagerness.

Although the Pyramid seemed dangerous, its terrifying ability to suppress divine sense perception attests to it being a wonderful treasure...

This made Mu Jinyu quite eager to claim it for himself.
