This was a valley halfway up the mountain, and was surrounded by pine trees that were several people's height. Dry branches and fallen leaves covered the ground, there was no one around. Xu Nan smiled and looked at Mu Xinshu, an unreadable expression on her face.

"What would you do if I told you I was here to kill you?" Xu Nan grinned, the two dimples on her face extremely enchanting. However, the words that came out sounded heartbroken to Mu Xinshu.

Mu Xinshu bitterly smiled and shook his head, "Your Senior-apprentice Brother is a cripple now. If I'm caught by you again, you can do whatever you want with me. I have nothing to say!"

Xu Nan sized up Mu Xinshu from head to toe, his current bedraggled look was actually a bit ridiculous, his clothes were all torn several times, and there were several wounds on his body. He was exhausted, and Mu Xinshu was right, he was almost a cripple now!

The atmosphere was a bit awkward. A lone man and a woman were leaning against a tree trunk, standing on a pile of withered leaves. The man was standing there silently. The woman looked weird, but was hesitant to speak to the man!

"Elder Luo is dead, I already know about this!" Why did you come back? " Tilting her head, Xu Nan looked at Mu Xinshu with a pained expression, "Originally, I didn't think what they said was true, but now, I think you're more like a traitor to the sect! Otherwise, why would you want to kill Elder Luo? He is such a good person, why must you be so cruel? "

Mu Xinshu quietly stood there, not even bothering to refute a single word. The sense of powerlessness and mental exhaustion that came from his body was the main reason why Mu Xinshu didn't want to resist right now. It was also because Xu Nan, who stood in front of him, had interacted with him before.

Seeing that Mu Xinshu did not speak, Xu Nan sighed and felt very sad, "Senior Brother Mu, how could you do this? If you are to do this, I will have no choice but to take action. Even if you give me an explanation, you can only say it! You know my temper, what I know now is that you are already a traitor to the sect! "

Seeing Xu Nan's heartbroken expression, Mu Xinshu finally sighed and slowly said, "There are some things you don't know about the enmity between me and Luo Ning, but you can rest assured that I have a clear conscience when I kill Luo Ning!"

Xu Nan was slightly stunned, she lowered her head slightly, her gaze lingering on the tip of her feet, "Then you can go, I believe in you!"

Mu Xinshu was stunned. He looked at Xu Nan in disbelief, "You, you're really going to let me go like this? You have to think carefully, my fighting strength is basically zero right now, and you're willing to let me, the murderer, leave? "

Xu Nan raised her head and nodded at Mu Xinshu with a serious expression, "Yes, I never wanted to do anything to you! Since Shixiong Mu has said that you have a clear conscience, I will believe you! Hurry up, I still need to meet up with Xinya and the others. Otherwise, if we don't go later, they will suspect us! "

Seeing Xu Nan's sincere gaze, Mu Xinshu's heart was filled with waves of warmth. He turned around, and Mu Xinshu nodded gratefully at Xu Nan as he walked off into the distance without looking back.

Xu Nan was a good junior-apprentice sister. The last time she met Mu Xinshu, although she still gave him a sword strike, she was still unwilling to capture Mu Xinshu. Xu Nan let him go, but this time she still couldn't bear to do so.

"Buzz!" A sound rang out in Mu Xinshu's ears. Mu Xinshu immediately frowned. He could tell that this was a sound that was filled with inner qi! Moreover, it was heading in his direction. Although Mu Xinshu's body wasn't weak, he still had the perception of a cultivator. With a turn of his body, Mu Xinshu turned his body with difficulty, trying to avoid the sneak attack from the powerful meridian qi behind him!

Suddenly turning around, Mu Xinshu could only see a blue light flash in front of him. With a pfft sound, Mu Xinshu staggered. His shoulder was scraped by a thick green energy, and blood immediately burst out!

Steadying his feet, Mu Xinshu turned his head to look at the bone-deep wound on his left shoulder. His skin and flesh had turned outwards, and blood was spurting out of the wound. A heart-wrenching pain instantly spread through Mu Xinshu's entire body. He could not help but cry out!

In the mountain forest, several figures suddenly appeared, and next to Xu Nan, several disciples of the Heart Tree Sect who had quite a high cultivation appeared! At this moment, Xu Nan was looking at these men and women who had appeared beside her with a face full of shock!

Mu Xinshu's eyes narrowed. Out of the seven or eight people that had appeared beside Xu Nan, two of them were Luo Ning's two personal disciples. One of them was Yan Sen Yang, with a cultivation base at the end of the fourth meridian, and his strength was not inferior to that of Zhang Yi, Feng Yu, or Zhang Yi!

Obviously, that green light aura had been sent out by Yan Sen Yang, and his goal was to stop Mu Xinshu's footsteps!

Mu Xinshu didn't even think as he took advantage of the fact that there was no one around him, and ran into the depths of the forest! The few Green Shadow Peak disciples beside Xu Nan momentarily blanked out. After reacting, they hurriedly shouted and chased after Mu Xinshu!

Yan Sen Yang stopped in his tracks, and looked coldly at the astonished Xu Nan, "Hmph! Junior sister Xu Nan, why did you let Mu Xinshu, this traitor, go?

Xu Nan hurriedly shook her head and said with grievance, "I didn't! I just arrived at Green Shadow Mountain, and I met senior apprentice brother Mu. Don't spout nonsense, how could you know that I've let him go? "

Yan Sen Yang snorted and said, "Don't deny it. It was rumored that you like the Book of Patriarchs. Now it seems that you're right!" In order to save him, you intentionally let him go. Come with us! "

Xu Nan was stunned. There were already two Green Shadow Peak disciples with Yan Sen Yang holding her arms. Xu Nan immediately struggled, "Senior Brother Yan Sen Yang, how can you treat me like this?" What's wrong with me? I didn't intentionally let that Mu Xinshu go! "

No matter how much Xu Nan called him 'wronged', Yan Sen Yang remained unmoved. Instead, he waved his hand and said to his two junior brothers, "There must be an unusual relationship between this girl and Mu Xinshu! Bring her back. If you can't find the Mu Xinshu, then use her to threaten Mu Xinshu. I don't believe that Mu Xinshu can sit idly by and do nothing! "

Mu Xinshu naturally did not know of this. At this moment, he was crazily dashing through the forest. Not far behind him were several Green Shadow Peak disciples that were chasing after him with bared fangs and brandished claws!

His stamina was disappearing bit by bit as the Green Shadow Peak disciples got closer and closer to him. Mu Xinshu was worried. The other disciples of Green Shadow Peak were only at the first and second meridians; their speed wasn't too fast!

However, Yan Sen Yang was a 4th meridian stage master. It was not impossible for him to run 10 meters in a single step. Mu Xinshu was only a bit stronger than an ordinary person, so his running speed was not that fast. Once Yan Sen Yang caught up, the consequences would be obvious!
