Dragon Blood Stone! Mu Nan and the others’ eyelids twitched in unison, realizing that Mu Hanyan had known all along what they were searching for.
Had it been before, Mu Nan and his group would definitely have been full of questions. But now, knowing her "true" identity as a Star Divination Master, they weren’t surprised at all.
Indeed, the identity of a god-man was quite useful. Seeing their expressions, Mu Hanyan, who was promoted from Big Playboy Mu to Mu the God, was very satisfied.
Without needing further instructions from Mu Hanyan, the group immediately set to work.
As they searched excitedly for the Dragon Blood Stone, they didn’t notice two figures swiftly approaching.
"Mu Hanyan, stop!" Fourth Miss Zhao ran up behind Mu Hanyan at top speed and shouted fiercely.
At this moment, she was only about five steps away from Mu Hanyan, which was within the ten steps required by the Golden Chains, so she felt greatly assured and full of momentum. The source of thɪs content is novel(ꜰ)ire.net
"Fourth Miss Zhao, you actually managed to follow me." Mu Hanyan turned her head and spoke indifferently.
She had noticed Fourth Miss Zhao and Zhao Sinin following them when they left Heishi City, but since Zhao Sinin was not weak and had many years of experience traveling abroad, she had concealed her tracks well and hadn’t shown any weaknesses since.
Mu Hanyan thought she had shaken off the two, but didn’t expect them to catch up so quickly.
Seeing Fourth Miss Zhao so suddenly, Zirong and Huayue realized they had been careless and quickly returned to Mu Hanyan’s side. They didn’t take Fourth Miss Zhao very seriously, but Mu Hanyan had told them that Zhao Sinin, her follower, was a Fifth Rank Swordsman, so they couldn’t be too careless.
"Good thing I came along, or you would have picked up a huge bargain. To think that you’d find so many strange flowers and herbs. Too bad for you, though; they all belong to this miss now. Thanks a lot, Young Master Mu." Fourth Miss Zhao, carrying the Golden Compass, was not concerned about the few people opposite her, looking triumphant as she spoke.
"Just with you? Have you forgotten the lesson from last time?" Mu Hanyan glanced at her with scorn and mocked.
"You think I can’t handle you? Today, I’ll let you see what this big sister is capable of." It is said that you shouldn’t hit someone in the face or point out their shortcomings in an argument, and as soon as Mu Hanyan brought up the lesson from last time, Fourth Miss Zhao remembered her humiliating naked run and her face turned blood-red as she fiercely pulled out the Golden Chains.
Mu Hanyan raised an eyebrow. With her experience and knowledge of alchemy, she could certainly tell that this was an Alchemy Artifact.
"Mu Hanyan, do you know what this is? It’s called the Golden Chains, a powerful alchemy treasure that can immobilize you completely at my mercy, ha ha ha, Mu Hanyan, you didn’t expect this day, did you?" Fourth Miss Zhao laughed wildly.
Golden Chains, Mu Hanyan’s heart sank slightly. She had heard of this alchemy artifact, which was said to be a treasured artifact of Zhengying Academy, and, in theory, shouldn’t have ended up in Fourth Miss Zhao’s hands. But the way she was acting didn’t seem like a lie.
Seeing Fourth Miss Zhao brandishing the Golden Chains directly at them, Mu Hanyan didn’t act rashly, unsure of the artifact’s true power.
Seeing Mu Hanyan act so cautiously, Huayue and the others were even more reluctant to take any action.
"Cousin, first drive those beasts away. Such precious medicinal herbs are nearly ruined by these animals." Fourth Miss Zhao was not in a hurry to deal with Mu Hanyan. She suddenly found that holding the upper hand and looking down from on high at Mu Hanyan was quite satisfying and exhilarating.
