"Splash!!"

As Mu Jinyu's voice fell, the once calm River of Oblivion rushing through the riverbed suddenly surged, skeletons floating amidst a foul stench, charging towards Ji Changkong, Jiang Taiping, and the others!

"Damn, it's the River of Oblivion!"

"Everyone be careful, don't get contaminated! It's one of the Earth Emperor's Assassin's Mace! If touched, you'll either lose yourself or have your soul scattered, leaving only an empty shell!"

"Damn it, how did the Earth Emperor's Tome end up in his hands?"

"With so many kings and powerful races fighting for it at the Cangyan State, why would the Earth Emperor's Tome fall into his hands? It shouldn't be!"

Seeing the River of Oblivion rushing towards them, even the heavy ghost mist was wiped clean as if the blackboard was cleared, leaving Ji Changkong and the others shocked and enraged. Desperately, they activated their foreign race bloodlines and took out their life-saving cards to resist the water of the River of Oblivion!

"This?"

Kong Xi, standing far away and reluctant to join the battle, saw this scene and his pupils shrank in surprise, realizing that Mu Jinyu, whom he thought would surely die, could still turn the tide!

At that moment, he felt inexplicably grateful that he hadn't joined Yun Qiao and Ning Yue in hunting down Mu Jinyu, or he would be in grave danger now.

"Boom boom!!"

The water from the River of Oblivion erupted, the stench making everyone gag as it swept across almost everyone, making their eyes dull and leaving them seemingly soulless, standing blankly and bewildered.

However, Ji Changkong, Jiang Taiping, and Yao Lingfeng among others had the highest cultivation and most life-saving cards; momentarily, their entire bodies were shrouded in variously colored light shields, resisting the surging water from the River of Oblivion.

At this moment, they were filled with regret, wishing they had known Mu Jinyu had the Earth Emperor's Tome. Though they wouldn't have given up the Creation Divine Liquid, they absolutely wouldn't have forced Mu Jinyu to hand it over.

Instead, they would have waited until they left the Tiangan Secret Realm together and had their clan elders apprehend Mu Jinyu.

Then, with elders from the Life and Death Realm and Creation Realm involved, how could Mu Jinyu, a mere cultivator in the early Void Breaking Realm stage, cause any trouble!

But unexpectedly, Mu Jinyu had such means; now their regret was a bit late.

"Pop!"

As Ji Changkong and Jiang Taiping agonizingly maintained their life-saving shields to prevent contamination, they suddenly heard a sound like popping bubbles.

Then Jiang Taiping saw Mu Jinyu somehow next to his cousin Jiang Taiyi, popping the protective shield surrounding Jiang Taiyi with a single touch.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Immediately, the water from the River of Oblivion rushed unabashedly over Jiang Taiyi's body.

"Ah!!"

Jiang Taiping watched, his eyes about to burst, wishing he could devour Mu Jinyu alive.

Simultaneously, he was intensely anxious; if Jiang Taiyi's Protection Divine Light could be popped by Mu Jinyu, then their Protection Divine Light would hardly resist Mu Jinyu's attack either!

"Damn it!"

Jiang Taiping cursed in his heart and tentatively attempted to move, wondering if he could escape this Ghost City domain!

"Bang!!"

Before he could start, not far away a deafening crash was heard.

Afterward, Gui Yufei of the Gui Clan Royalty let out a mournful scream.

Clearly, he was the first to try escaping the Fengdu Ghost City domain from the Earth Emperor's Tome, but failed.

Jiang Taiping's body froze as his gaze turned towards the source of the sound, beneath the ghost mist he saw a vague silhouette, surrounded by a full bed of flowers emitting demonic light.

"That's... the Other Shore Flower..."

Jiang Taiping quickly guessed what flower it was, sighing over Gui Yufei's fate!

"Pop!"

"Bang!!"

Then, one after another, the sound of Protection Divine Light being popped echoed, like King Yan's funeral bell tolling, Jiang Taiping saw Yao Lingfeng, Ji Changkong, among others, now all harmed by Mu Jinyu, faces pale, eyes vacant, standing confusedly.

"No, I cannot sit still and wait to die!"

Jiang Taiping inwardly roared angrily.

He stealthily took out a small long needle.

This was the God-Destroying Needle, containing potent toxins; when Mu Jinyu popped his Protection Divine Light, he would fight Mu Jinyu desperately, determined to make him die together!

"Step step..."

At this time, a slow footstep sounded, making Jiang Taiping's heart hang with tension.

"Step!!"

Soon, the footsteps stopped.

Jiang Taiping, tense and alert, kept scanning around, then saw from behind the dense ghost mist a finger suddenly reach out, poking at his Protection Divine Light.

"Bang!!"

A shield able to withstand full strikes from Life and Death Realm powerhouses and keep the River of Oblivion out, burst like a balloon at Mu Jinyu's touch!

Making Jiang Taiping feel his own heart shattered!

"Die!"

He was unwilling, but powerless, watching as the River of Oblivion surged toward him, he fiercely gritted his teeth, shooting the tightly held God-Destroying Needle at Mu Jinyu!

Even if he would be brainwashed, he wanted to take Mu Jinyu down first.

If Mu Jinyu died.

Without anyone controlling it, perhaps the River of Oblivion wouldn't successfully brainwash them.

Then maybe they would recover again!

This was the only chance!

"Boom!!"

Yet, in despair, Jiang Taiping saw the God-Destroying Needle he hurled at Mu Jinyu harmlessly crumbled upon touching Mu Jinyu's skin!

This made Jiang Taiping internally scream, such thick skin!

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The River of Oblivion simultaneously surged back.

Jiang Taiping's consciousness gradually dispersed, his eyes growing vacant.

Before completely losing awareness, he remembered one thing.

That in the Humanity Path Sutra, there indeed seemed to be a chapter on refining the skin membrane, explaining why Mu Jinyu's skin was so thick!

"Whirl whirl..."

Ghost mist layered heavily, the sinister wind roared, Mu Jinyu stood within the Ghost City domain, watching the Imperial Family descendants there utterly dazed, his gaze sweeping, finally landing on Yun Qiao, Ning Yue, and those few senior students of Dongyue Mansion.

"You... Don't come over..."

"We've been classmates, must you annihilate us?"

"If you dare move against us, the Mansion Master won't spare you!"

Seeing Mu Jinyu approach, Yun Qiao and the others, knowing the ineffectiveness of Protection Divine Light, warned Mu Jinyu in shock and anger.

"Hehe..."

Mu Jinyu sneered, "Talking about camaraderie now, isn't it too late?!"

Saying that, Mu Jinyu destroyed their Protection Divine Light effortlessly, giving them no chance to resist, leaving them standing dumbfounded, unaware.

"Swish!"

Then, Mu Jinyu turned, looking at the only one remaining clear-minded in the scene, Kong Xi, gazing complexly at him.

"Senior Kong, I'm sorry, I don't want to harm you, but now the matter is crucial, so I must inconvenience you for a moment."
