Although Mu Ze hadn’t fully come to terms with Mu Hanyan, his mindset had changed somewhat after what had just occurred. Besides, having just acted foolishly, it wouldn’t be right to be uncooperative at this time, so he also stood up.
Huayue and Zirong, as guards, naturally couldn’t show weakness. Despite knowing the extent of the other party’s strength, they still stood on either side of Mu Hanyan.
"It seems like choosing to follow you was a mistake, your troubles really aren’t few," Jiang Yuzhe muttered, but still dutifully stood by Zirong’s side in line with a follower’s duty.
A group of people were tense and ready for action, just waiting for Brother Han Yan’s command to make their move.
"Everyone, sit down," Mu Hanyan said in a deep voice, his face displaying unprecedented authority.
Having been together for half a month, the Mu Family’s disciples had never seen such seriousness and authority on his face, and they couldn’t help but step back two paces, obediently sitting down.
"You want that item? Fine, but let them go first," Mu Hanyan said indifferently.
"Falling into our hands, you think you have the right to haggle?" Zong Dingfang said with a sneer, slowly drawing his longsword. A phantom image of an eagle striking the sky gradually emerged around the longsword.
He had underestimated his opponent and suffered a setback in Mu Hanyan’s hands last time, and dared not take him lightly anymore, so he had released the Great Swordsman’s unique Sword Transformation Technique right from the start.
He Songhua also drew his longsword, and with Qi Light shooting from the sword, there were faint sounds of thunder and flashes of lightning.
"Great Swordsman!" Mu Yuying and the others’ faces changed dramatically at the same time. Now they understood why Mu Hanyan had told them to back off; the opponents were Great Swordsmen. With their little strength, going forward would be nothing but courting death.
Realizing the strength of their opponent, their admiring gaze towards Mu Hanyan grew stronger: it was truly unimaginable that he could remain so calm and composed in the face of such powerful enemies. It seemed that they had understood too little about this so-called playboy waste and had misunderstood him too deeply. Without considering anything else, just his ability to keep his composure in the face of danger was not something an ordinary person could compare with.
"You all saw for yourselves how that item came into my possession. If I want to destroy it, I estimate none of you could stop me," Mu Hanyan said, his face showing not a trace of fear as he threatened. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel-fire.ɴet
Both Zong Dingfang and He Songhua showed hesitation. Last time, Qu Shanhai and others couldn’t break through the defenses to take the Dragon Blood Stone, and it ended up in Mu Hanyan’s hands effortlessly; they still couldn’t figure out why.
This kid is truly strange. If he really wanted to destroy the Dragon Blood Stone, he might just be able to do it.
"Fine, let them go," Qu Shanhai said after a moment of silence to Mu Hanyan.
"Everyone, leave," Mu Hanyan nodded and said to the people behind him.
"Brother Han Yan," Mu Yuying looked at Mu Hanyan, finding it difficult to just leave .
"Listen to me, go," Mu Hanyan said sternly.
Mu Yuying still looked at Mu Hanyan, her eyes becoming somewhat moist.
Among this group of people, Mu Hanyan was the strongest. If one were to escape, he had the greatest chance. If he had let them fight earlier, his chances of escaping in the confusion would have been even greater, but he didn’t do that. Instead, he chose to stay behind and let them leave.
