Dragon King Hall's Legend-Chapter 1615: The Sinister Intentions of the 44 Survivors! Yearning to Return to Xiaolin Village Upon Farewell!
"How could this be?!"
"Young Master!"
"Young Sect Master!"
"Great Young Master!"
"My lord..."
Hearing this person's words and learning that those who participated in the test had nearly all perished, the guards, servants, and maids of the deceased all turned pale, feeling as if the sky was falling!
If this news spreads, the surrounding Thirteen Kingdoms, along with major sects and family powers, will all be enraged.
However, they dare not hold the examiners of Dongyue Mansion accountable and will certainly seek to blame Mu Jinyu and Chu Huannian.
In order to minimize their own responsibilities, these servants, their expressions immediately changing, thought of hunting down Mu Jinyu and Chu Huannian.
But just as they were about to act, they realized that even the Young Master and Young Sect Master had died at Mu Jinyu's hands. How could they possibly avenge the Young Master?
It would be nothing more than gifting their heads to Mu Jinyu.
As a result, they sighed dejectedly and abandoned the idea of seeking revenge on Mu Jinyu.
As for those servants who were not so loyal to their backers, they began contemplating their escape, fearing that their failure to protect the Young Master might lead to their own deaths at the hands of the family.
As for the loyal servants and maids who knew they couldn't avenge the Young Master and Young Sect Master, they resolved to return and report the news to their superiors, even if it meant certain death.
In an instant, these people, with heavy hearts, dispersed in different directions, either quietly escaping or returning to report the news. As for whether they dared to kill Mu Jinyu and Chu Huannian, the pre-students of Dongyue Mansion, it was no longer their concern.
In a moment, more than half of the thousand gathered in front of the Examination Mansion disappeared.
As for those who had failed the bloodline test or the comprehension test, who had been utterly dejected, upon hearing that those who passed the first two assessments had mostly died in the actual combat assessment, their downcast mood suddenly turned to relief.
They felt that failing the early tests might not have been so bad after all.
Otherwise, they might have become part of the lost souls.
Of course, they also harbored significant doubts.
They knew that Dongyue Mansion had previously recruited students in Donghua City for testing and had a general idea of the assessment process, knowing there were typically some casualties.
But never had there been a test so brutal, resulting in nearly five hundred deaths!
Isn't it too exaggerated?
Upon hearing these inquiries, the forty-four survivors exchanged glances. Harboring malice towards Mu Jinyu, they claimed that it was because of the anomaly of Mu Jinyu that things became this way.
They even testified that fifty people had survived initially, but two individuals were so bloodthirsty that they forgot they had passed the test and kept on killing until the goatee man stopped them.
Ultimately, the number of people who passed the test remained at fifty.
But as soon as the goatee man left, Mu Jinyu couldn't suppress his murderous intent and killed four more!
This left only forty-six people, including Mu Jinyu and his companions, emerging alive in the end!
"Damn it, I must notify the Sect Master and Elders to seek justice for the Young Sect Master!"
Hearing these words, those who stayed to gather information became even more resentful of Mu Jinyu.
They vowed to make Mu Jinyu pay in blood!
However, the more rational ones felt something was off. Wasn't Mu Jinyu only at the Early Divine Transformation Realm? How could he be so formidable, becoming an anomaly in the actual combat assessment?
The forty-four survivors answered them, explaining that during the actual combat assessment, the rules limited cultivations to the Divinity Transformation Realm, without allowing the use of their innate divine skills, relying only on martial techniques comprehended in the comprehension test. It wasn't surprising that a group of Fanxu and Unity Realm stage failed when faced with Mu Jinyu, the only one grasping Saintly Divine Abilities.
Knowing the restrictions of the actual combat assessment, these people no longer doubted their words, realizing it was indeed the anomaly of Mu Jinyu that caused the Young Master and Young Sect Master's deaths!
They thought that once out of the Examination Mansion, their cultivations were no longer suppressed, whereas Mu Jinyu remained at the Divinity Transformation Realm; he could hardly stir any trouble against their backing forces!
Mu Jinyu is doomed within five days!
Even Dongyue Mansion can't protect him!
...
After leaving the Examination Mansion, Mu Jinyu ignored the inquiries of others and quickly left Donghua City with Chu Huannian.
However, he was unaware that after his departure, the forty-four survivors had slandered him, placing all the blame for the killings on him.
Though he indeed killed the most during the actual combat assessment in the Martial Arts Arena, it was mostly for self-defense. Had no one attempted to kill him, he wouldn't have attacked.
Yet, they falsely accused him of being a murderous maniac, claiming he alone was responsible for the deaths.
They portrayed themselves as pristine as white lotuses.
Unaware of these events, had Mu Jinyu known, he might have turned around immediately, forsaking the journey to Donghua Province, to kill them!
Unaware of these machinations, after leaving Donghua City with Chu Huannian and teleporting to the Great Zhou Kingdom, he thought of the people of Xiaolin Village.
Realizing he is about to leave this place, likely never to return, and even if he can return, it would be many years later, he wanted to say farewell to the Old Village Chief and others.
After all, without Elder Ji and the others who found and saved him, caring for him all this time, he would've died when he arrived in the Canglan Realm, having lost his Life Source Energy.
"Let's stop for a bit."
Mu Jinyu called out to Chu Huannian, who was teleporting him.
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing the call, Chu Huannian paused his steps, halting in mid-air.
"What's wrong?" Chu Huannian turned back to Mu Jinyu and asked curiously.
Mu Jinyu sighed softly, saying, "Since I'm leaving, I want to return to the village to bid farewell to my teacher and a few kind elders who took care of me."
"All right, shall I accompany you?" Upon hearing this, Chu Huannian felt touched, remembering when she met Mu Jinyu in Qingshi City at the border between the Great Zhou and Great Chu Kingdoms.
So, Mu Jinyu was originally from the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Chu Huannian was quite curious about Mu Jinyu's original living environment and how such a pureblooded human emerged, so she wanted to visit and see.
Of course, if Mu Jinyu refused, hoping to keep the secluded village hidden, she wouldn't insist.
Mu Jinyu naturally hadn't thought that much. Upon hearing Chu Huannian's words, he nodded, "All right, I'll guide you there."
Even if Chu Huannian hadn't offered, Mu Jinyu would've sought her help to take him to Xiaolin Village.
After all, when he traveled from Xiaolin Village to leave the Qinghe Mountain Range, it took him five days.
Now, he only had five days to prepare for leaving; he couldn't spend it all on the road.
