Wei Chen turned around and saw Musa, a smile curving at the corners of his mouth.
Beside Musa were two others, riding identical snow-colored Eagles. Who else could they be but Mu Qingyan and Mu Yang?
In just a short while, from Eryuan City to Wushuang City and back again, the Mu Family Siblings had rushed over with all their might. Seeing that Wei Chen was unharmed, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Countless astonished gazes were directed at the Mu Family Siblings. Had Wei Chen already joined the Ancient Spirit Academy?
Though the sect was powerful, the foundation of the Ancient Spirit Academy was something even the sect could not compare to!
"Great! Wei Chen has joined the Ancient Spirit Academy; those from the sect won't dare to make things difficult for him," Zhao Yu exclaimed excitedly upon hearing Musa's words.
Su Linglong and the others nodded slightly. With members of the Ancient Spirit Academy present, the battle was essentially over.
The two Major Forces of the Ling Sheng Dynasty would not act lightly.
Wu Yi's face showed delight as he thought to himself, "So he has joined the Ancient Spirit Academy? While I can't kill him now, joining the Ancient Spirit Academy is certainly better than becoming a disciple of the sect. If Yang Cheng had his way, that bastard would have become my Shishu..."
He knew that he couldn't kill Wei Chen today; Wei Chen's strength was beyond his expectations. He would have to wait until they reached Linghuang City to find another opportunity to deal with him.
Musa and the others flew closer.
In front of countless onlookers, Mu Qingyan gazed tenderly at Wei Chen before suddenly diving into his embrace, her face flushed as she shyly asked, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine; they can't kill me," Wei Chen replied with a smile.
"I told you to wait; why didn't you listen?" Mu Qingyan lightly complained before separating from Wei Chen. However, she still stood close to him in mid-air, taking his hand in hers.
This scene entered Zhao Yu's eyes.
Zhao Yu's expression suddenly darkened as he lowered his head deeply. Su Linglong's face showed a cold expression as she fixed her gaze on Wei Chen, whispering, "That guy truly deserves to die!"
The Drunkard and Sufuyuan remained silent; being men, they had their fair share of wives and concubines...
Musa scrutinized Wei Chen closely, unable to articulate the shock within him. How long had it been since Wei Chen was in Wushuang City? His Soul Power Realm had risen too quickly! It was infuriating to see someone surpass him so easily; for the first time, Musa felt that he could only play a supporting role to Wei Chen.
"Brother Wei, we haven't arrived too late, have we?" Musa smiled.
Wei Chen shook his head and turned to Yang Cheng, softly saying, "You arrived too early."
"Too early? What do you mean?" Musa asked, bewildered.
Wei Chen did not answer. He took a few steps forward and said to Yang Cheng, "I have a good relationship with the Mu Family, but it's limited to personal interactions and does not involve the Ancient Spirit Academy. I haven't joined the Ancient Spirit Academy yet. Once I reach Linghuang City and participate in the academy's assessment, whether I can enter is still uncertain."
Hearing this, Musa displayed a bitter smile; this fellow was so proud that his good intentions seemed wasted.
Yang Cheng nodded with a smile and said, "The Ancient Spirit Academy is indeed a great place for cultivation, but our sect has resources that are equally impressive. If you join us, given your talent, you wouldn't even need to take the assessment."
Yang Cheng, who had been somewhat gloomy due to Musa's words, seemed to see hope and tried once more to recruit Wei Chen.
Wei Chen shook his head coldly and replied, "If I didn't still have some combat ability, I would have died here today. Join your sect? Ha! Why don't you ask Wu Yi beside you if he wants me to join?"
"The matter of joining the sect is not up to Wu Yi," Yang Cheng replied lightly.
Wei Chen let out a cold laugh and said, "What happened today has already occurred; I will no longer have any connection with your sect. Soon I will be heading to Ling City. If your sect doesn't trouble me, I won't provoke you either. But if anyone from your sect seeks trouble again, I won't hold back."
The commanding tone resonated throughout the venue, and everyone clearly heard Wei Chen's words. While many looked down on him for being out of touch, even more secretly admired his boldness. In the Ling Sheng Dynasty, Wei Chen was undoubtedly the first to speak so fearlessly.
Yang Cheng's expression turned cold as he cast a deep glance at Wei Chen before shifting his gaze to the Mu Family Siblings. Narrowing his eyes, he said, "You Mu Family really want to stir up trouble, don't you?"
"What are you talking about? We are like brothers with Wei Chen; his matters are our matters. It's not stirring up trouble," Musa replied calmly.
"Very well," Yang Cheng sneered. "When the Four Directions Competition comes around, I will see if your Ancient Spirit Academy has made any progress over the years."
"No need to worry about that," Musa shot back at Yang Cheng without giving him any courtesy.
Yang Cheng snorted coldly and then grabbed Wu Yi's arm, swiftly flying away.
A battle was completely ruined by the arrival of the Mu Family Siblings. However, the audience had already had their fill of excitement; Wei Chen had consecutively defeated Jin Quan and Jincheng, and had brutally slaughtered Old Man Ji, eliminating a significant threat to Eryuan City. His prowess earned him the respect of many.
Seeing that there was no more entertainment to be had, the Black-Faced Sage and Iron Crutch Li quietly left. The onlookers gradually dispersed, discussing Wei Chen's stunning performance. Many even recalled the legendary Ximen Duan from the Fuyuan Trading Company years ago.
The Sky Bird Pavilion Master distantly cupped his fists in salute to Wei Chen before leading his entourage away. Wei Chen had helped Feathered Pavilion by thwarting Old Man Ji; although he hadn't personally engaged in battle, that favor was acknowledged. The Sky Bird Pavilion Master preferred to conduct business without entangling himself with any Major Forces, thus he did not wish to become too involved with Wei Chen.
Once most people had left, the Su Family departed last. Zhao Yu intended to speak with Wei Chen but was forcibly pulled away by Su Linglong. It was obvious to anyone that Zhao Yu had a connection with Mu Qingyan; with her around, Su Linglong didn't want her daughter to face any humiliation.
"Mother, please don't interfere in my private matters with Wei Chen," Zhao Yu said as she glanced back at him. Noticing that Wei Chen was also looking at her, she complained to Su Linglong.
Su Linglong huffed in response, "Then don’t expect him to step foot into our Su Family’s door. If I see him once, I’ll hit him once."
Zhao Yu pouted, "Can you even beat him?"
The Drunkard and Sufuyuan exchanged glances, wanting to laugh but holding it back. Unlike Su Linglong, they were filled with admiration for Wei Chen.
Everyone had left, and the bodies of Jin Quan and Jincheng were dragged away by the Jin Family members. They harbored a deep hatred for Wei Chen but lacked the strength to take revenge, so they could only endure. Even if there were experts who could deal with Wei Chen, many prominent families in Eryuan City were eyeing the Jin Family's position as the city lord, making it unwise for them to act recklessly.
Old Man Ji's body lay on the ground, unattended. Wei Chen approached Old Man Ji, waved his hand, and conjured a ball of fire that reduced Old Man Ji's body to ashes, returning it to dust.
Mu Yang, Musa, and Mu Qingyan stood beside him, their faces filled with shock. The temperature of that flame was terrifying; it not only melted the corpse but also burned away part of the soil beneath it.
Most importantly, they felt no heat from the flames at all. Wei Chen's control over that fire was truly astonishing.
Musa sighed deeply and said with a bitter smile, "Brother Wei, your cultivation level is just too terrifying."
"It's just good luck. I'm currently at the fifth level of Power Realm; I'm not even in the true Spirit Realm yet," Wei Chen replied, a mix of humility and pride in his tone, smiling lightly.
"Luck is also a part of strength. Being at the fifth level of Power Realm is already quite strong," Mu Yang remarked.
"I wonder if my current strength will be enough to pass the assessment at Ancient Spirit Academy," Wei Chen pondered for a moment before asking Musa.
Musa nodded as if it were obvious. "Of course! If someone like you can't pass the assessment, then who can? You've easily defeated experts at the Ninth Layer of Spirit Realm; I can't imagine there's anything you can't accomplish."
After a pause, Musa looked at Wei Chen and continued, "I assume even if you fought Yang Cheng, you wouldn't face too many problems?"
"I won't have any issues; if I can't win, I can always run," Wei Chen replied.
"Being able to escape from a strong opponent at Pinnacle of Spiritual Wisdom is also a skill. Brother Wei, what are your plans moving forward?" Musa asked with an enigmatic look in his eyes.
Wei Chen hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm going to Ling City to participate in the assessment at Ancient Spirit Academy."
He had initially decided against joining Ancient Spirit Academy to avoid bringing trouble upon them. However, upon reconsideration, he realized that relying solely on his own strength to rescue Weirou from Soul Palace would take an indefinite amount of time. With the support of Ancient Spirit Academy, things would be much easier. Moreover, joining Ancient Spirit Academy would not be without its benefits for him either.
Mu Qingyan stood gracefully beside Wei Chen, her expression brightening at his words. "Don't worry, with your strength, getting into the Ancient Spirit Academy will be a piece of cake."
Musa let out a slight sigh before casting a few meaningful glances at Mu Qingyan. Pouting in dissatisfaction, Mu Qingyan asked, "What are you winking at me for?"
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Mu Qingyan lightly moved to the side. She understood that Musa had something to tell Wei Chen. Such matters could be concealed for a time, but not forever; it was better for Wei Chen to know first.
"Brother Wei, be honest with me. What do you feel about my sister?" Musa asked seriously, fixing her gaze on Wei Chen. Mu Yang also became serious, watching Wei Chen and waiting for his response.
Wei Chen was taken aback, a hint of embarrassment creeping onto his face. "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"My sister never shows any kindness to any man, but with you, it's completely different. You must know that her feelings for you are not ordinary," Musa stated earnestly.
Wei Chen fell silent, inwardly chuckling bitterly. How was he supposed to answer such a question?
"Brother Wei, regardless of how you feel about her, there are some things I need to clarify for you."
Musa's expression turned serious as she paused for a moment, looking at Wei Chen with utmost gravity. "My sister has been betrothed to the royal family since birth. That engagement cannot be changed as long as the royal family exists. The Crown Prince has already been established as the heir; he will definitely become the emperor in the future, and my sister will marry him and become the empress. This matter is extremely important for both the royal family and the Ancient Spirit Academy; it represents an alliance between them and eternal friendship."
"If you want to be with my sister, the obstacles you need to overcome are immense. Before she met you, she had no feelings for the Crown Prince—she was indifferent. But after meeting you, she clearly told us that she would not marry the Crown Prince. In major forces like the Ancient Spirit Academy, it is very difficult for younger generations to make their own choices regarding marriage. Even I have been engaged to a princess from the royal family."
At this point, Musa fixed her deep gaze on Wei Chen and quietly asked, "Brother Wei, what do you plan to do?"
