C12

Autumn passed and winter came. In a blink of an eye, Chenying had arrived at the Ninth Heaven for almost half a year. In this period of time, he had experienced ups and downs, being helpless and helpless, and had also become strong through battles to the death and the approval of others.

As early as two months ago, Chen Ying had cultivated the third cycle of the Nine Revolutions Golden Body. Unfortunately, ever since then, it was as if he'd come across an invisible barrier. No matter how hard he tried, he was still able to progress in his cultivation. At the very least, he had a deeper understanding of cultivation. If cultivation was about controlling the energy of the world, then body refining was about using the energy of the world to train the body!

After refining the Nine Revolutions Golden Body into the first three cycles, Chen Ying's cultivation had advanced to the late stage of Spirit Gathering. It was just that his body was not like the holy golden color of a buddhist monk, but a type of explosive bronze color, even more powerful and tenacious!

Jin Zhi was extremely gentle, and by chance, Chen Ying refined the most perfect body in the same realm. However, this kind of cultivation method could not be imitated by anyone else. Besides him who had the Chaos Pearl, no one could simultaneously use two completely different cultivation methods!

"Perhaps this is the so-called bottleneck?" On top of the mountain, beside the winter plum blossom, Chen Ying stood up and stretched his muscles as he muttered to himself, "Since hard work and training can't yield any results, then I will seek a breakthrough in the battle of life and death!"

"..."

The end of the year was near and the horse bandits were rampant. Every time this happened, the people at the bottom level of the Nine Nether Continent would be busy. They were nervous, busy, expectant, and uneasy!

In the castle of Mu, men, women, and children were busy as they went into the forest in hopes of catching enough prey during the festive season. Several teams of cultivators went from house to house to collect the brocades made of women's cloth and the precious ores collected during the year. The men kept their weapons in their hands and their armor in their bodies.

However, all of this had nothing to do with Chen Ying. Dozens of days ago, he had left the Mu Family Castle with the Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf and entered the depths of Mount Putuo to search for powerful demon beasts. He hoped that under enough pressure, he could break through his bottleneck and advance further in his cultivation!

After all, Chen Ying's cultivation path was a remote one. On this road, no one could help him. He could only 'accompany' the Demon Beast Worm and fumble his way forward in solitude!

During this period of time, a strange thing happened. The Demon Beasts that were once rare in the outskirts of Mount Potala had appeared frequently. Many hunters from nearby villages were attacked by Demon Beasts and suffered heavy casualties! However, this was also an opportunity for the nearby villages. They quickly organized a formidable formation and entered the mountains to hunt!

That afternoon, the hunting squadron returned in a sorry state and caused a stir in the Mu Family Castle.

"What happened? He was in such a sorry state! "What about the others?" Inside the tower, Mu Hong suddenly stood up when he saw the hunter who had returned in a sorry state. His voice trembled slightly as he asked in shock.

Speaking of the others, this man with wounds all over his body began to cry. He choked with sobs and said, "So many demon beasts suddenly appeared in the forest. Uncle Lin, Brother Zhu, they sacrificed themselves to cover us retreating!"

"So many demonic beasts appeared in the forest? "What rank are those beasts?"

"They're all level one. There's too many of them. I've never seen so many beasts since I joined the hunting squadron." He was still in a daze from fear when he mentioned the scene at that time.

"Go down and have a good rest." All the brave warriors who have died have been given to the ancestral halls of the clan, and their widows and children have been properly placed there. "

"..."

After the young hunter left, the three heroes of the Mu Clan fell into deep thought. After a while, Mu Chen's eyebrows raised as he slowly said, "In such a situation, it can only mean that a new beast king has appeared in Mount Potala!"

"Although the sacrifices are great, for the nearby villages, this is the chance to hunt demon beasts!" Mu Hong's face was gloomy and emotionless as he analyzed the situation rationally, "But the year is approaching, bandits may descend at any time, and before Third Brother can recover, neither you nor I will be able to leave! Without a ninth circulation Qi Refining expert leading the way, not only will it be difficult to reap any rewards, it can also cause huge casualties, and the gains will not make up for the losses! "

"Are we going to give up this opportunity to hunt demon beasts?" Mu Tian's words carried unwillingness.

Mu Hong also had some regrets, but he was very rational. "So what if I don't give up? You can only blame our Mu Family Castle for having too few strong people! "

Hearing that, Mu Tian's eyes lit up. "Isn't that kid already at the Third Cycle of the Nine Revolving Golden Body? His battle prowess is not inferior to me! It's a good time to use them, you can use them all! "

"Little Chen has been cultivating in the mountains and has not returned until now!" Mu Chen's calm tone directly shattered his fantasies.

"This kid's timing is really accurate. He went to cultivate while he was busy with other things!" Where do you place the safety of my Mu Family Castle? " Mu Tian said in dissatisfaction.

Mu Hong glared at him and said angrily, "Third brother, you should never place your hopes on anyone else! If not for Xiao Chen, my Mu Family Castle would not have been able to survive this ordeal? "

"..."

The three of them fell silent. After a long while, Mu Chen said, "Let Xin lead the way into the mountain."

"No, I don't agree!" Mu Tian had never been as determined to oppose his second brother's decision as he was today. He said seriously, "Let me lead the way."

"Nonsense!" His cultivation was weak, but he was still forcefully washing the meridians of a junior, injuring his foundation. Without a year of rest, how could he recover! My Mu Family Castle cannot afford to lose a Qi Condensation expert! "

"What about my daughter's safety? Her talent is higher than any of us, and yet you guys are willing to let her take the risk? "

"As a child of the Mu Family Castle, you should carry a heavy burden at this critical moment!" Mu Chen's attitude was exceptionally resolute.

"Xin Er might be at the Qi Refining stage of the Nine Revolutions, but she has never experienced a life-and-death battle! You and I both understand that when facing a life and death battle, Xin'er's fighting strength is inferior to Mu Xiong's! " Mu Tian's expression changed. He didn't have the usual respect for his second brother.

"Third Brother, it is precisely because of this that I sent Xin'er to lead the team. In the end, the young falcon would fight against the blue sky. If it didn't experience wind and rain, how would it be able to transform? Do you want her to face the test of the Butterfly Valley sect in her current state? You know, the real danger is not the demon beasts, but people who are a thousand times more dangerous and cunning than demon beasts! "

Mu Tian was silent.

"If Xin'er can't enter the Valley of the Butterfly, no matter how good her talent is, it will still be delayed! What's more, can we protect them for a while, and take care of them for the rest of our lives? Have you thought about these? " Mu Chen's words were slightly agitated. "Sooner or later, they'll have to face it. While we still have the ability to protect them, let's let them experience life and death in battle!"

"Second brother, you …"

Mu Chen nodded before Mu Tian's words could finish. "I watched as she grew up, so how could I not care for her safety?"

"Then I'll go protect him in the dark! Just like what second brother said, the New Year is about to come, and bandits can come at any time. With big brother and second brother here, Mu Family Castle will be even safer! " When Mu Tian heard this, he volunteered himself.

"I have my own plans, so there's no need for Third Brother to worry."

"Could it be that big brother is going to protect Xin Er?" "That will definitely greatly weaken the castle's defenses …"

"Third Brother, facing mounted bandits, the effect of deterrence is often greater! This was because the horse bandits did not want to completely fall out with the tribes and fight to the death! However, if the number of strong warriors in the castle was too few, then they would completely loot the castle without any scruples, and then calmly retreat. At that time, will we be able to get in? " Mu Hong explained.

When Mu Tian told the news to his daughter worriedly, the little girl's eyes didn't have the slightest trace of fear. Instead, there was a bit of excitement as she excitedly went to prepare.

When she appeared in front of the clan members, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up. Their gazes all gathered on her, and the eyes of the young man in the castle became even more fiery. The tight leather armor outlined her exquisite figure in an attractive curve. Her valiant, valiant, but also revealed a bit of a little girl's charm. Her delicate, small face also seemed to have a bit of resolution.

After the decision was made, a new hunting squadron was formed at the Mu Family Castle and led by Mu Yuxin. They entered Mount Putuo overnight.
