11: Yunli compromised, one condition

Mu Wuchen glanced at Yun Li.

Her temperament was cold and ethereal, like a fairy; she was indeed the heroine of destiny.

Mu Wuchen marveled inwardly.

However, the two were not familiar with each other, and it was clearly impossible for Mu Wuchen to release the person based on a single sentence.

"Senior Sister Yun, don't misunderstand. This reckless brat was the one who proposed a life-and-death duel. If I had lost, it would have disgraced the entire Tianxuan Sect. Now that he has lost, his life or death is up to me. Isn't it improper for you to break the rules like this?"

Upon hearing Mu Wuchen's words, Yun Li frowned slightly.

Mu Wuchen was right.

However, she had obtained the inheritance of the Lapis Lazuli Colorful Phoenix in the secret realm, and Lin Fan had helped her considerably. At that time, Lin Fan's status was vastly different from hers, but now his strength was no longer inferior to hers. If she were to watch Lin Fan die in front of her, she would feel uneasy.

Yun Li pondered for a moment, then spoke to Mu Wuchen:

"Senior Brother Mu, if you agree to spare his life, I will fully assist you in becoming a Saint Son in the next Tianxuan Sect Saint Son selection."

The Tianxuan Sect had countless ordinary disciples, all young prodigies selected from various regions, but there were only five thousand core disciples, and only ten Saint Sons or Saintesses in total. Becoming a Saint Son meant resources far exceeding what they had now, and their status was even above many elders.

Both Mu Wuchen and Yun Li had a chance to contend for the position of Saint Son. If one of them fully assisted the other, the probability of the other winning the Saint Son position would be much greater!

But at the same time, it basically meant the other person had given up their chance. Yun Li was actually willing to trade her future opportunity to become a Saintess for Mu Wuchen to spare Lin Fan's life.

A hint of surprise appeared in Mu Wuchen's eyes. This Yun Li was indeed worthy of being the heroine of destiny, possessing excellent talent, strength, and character.

It was clear that her relationship with the Son of Destiny had not yet developed; she had only received help from the Son of Destiny in the secret realm. Given her status, not getting involved in this matter seemed to be the correct choice at this time.

Yet, she stepped forward. Firstly, she would owe Mu Wuchen a favor. Secondly, she might lose the chance to become a Saintess, and might even suffer from gossip from other people in the Tianxuan Sect. But she still stepped forward.

This girl, she's trustworthy.

Mu Wuchen thought to himself.

However, Mu Wuchen still shook his head.

With his current strength, even without Yun Li's help, he was confident he could become a Saint Son.

As the two conversed, the surrounding Tianxuan Sect disciples began to discuss.

Yun Li, who had always been cold towards others and frequently in closed-door cultivation, would actually plead for an outsider. It was clear there had to be some story between them.

Immediately, various rumors and speculations began to emerge.

These noisy discussions reached Yun Li's ears, making her frown even deeper.

If Mu Wuchen encountered such a situation, he would probably slap each gossiper into silence, but Yun Li certainly couldn't do that.

Seeing Yun Li's somewhat helpless expression, Mu Wuchen didn't continue to embarrass her. After all, he hadn't intended to kill Lin Fan anyway; the leek hadn't been fully harvested yet.

"Forget it. Since Senior Sister Yun has spoken, I cannot disappoint such a beauty. But I will personally claim the position of Saint Son, and I cannot bear for you to delay yourself for a good-for-nothing. How about this: you agree to one condition of mine, and I will spare his life. How does that sound?"

Mu Wuchen, clad in white, had a gentle smile, but it always felt somewhat sinister.

One condition?

However, Yun Li's frown deepened. Mu Wuchen had an extremely poor reputation among the core disciples, and his notoriety for bullying men and women and being debauched was widespread. This one condition of his...

Seeing Yun Li hesitate, Mu Wuchen sighed and added:

"Senior Sister Yun, I will not ask you to do anything that would compromise your purity. Is that acceptable?"

Upon hearing Mu Wuchen's words, Yun Li finally nodded.

"Good, I agree!"

Hearing Yun Li speak, Lin Fan, who was under Mu Wuchen's foot, struggled and angrily shouted:

"Cloud Fairy, don't agree to him! He's not a good person! Even if I, Lin Fan, die..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Mu Wuchen's eyes suddenly narrowed, revealing a fierce glint.

He directly lifted Lin Fan with one hand, and with the other hand, turning his palm into a blade, he directly pierced through Lin Fan's chest and stirred it forcefully.

Even with Lin Fan's willpower, he screamed in pain.

This scene directly startled everyone around. Mu Wuchen had been fine just a moment ago, so why did he suddenly attack?

Lin Fan's body was pierced, and blood soaked him completely. He opened his eyes wide, wanting to say something, but could only cough up blood.

"Lin Fan, don't push your luck. I only promised Senior Sister Yun to spare your life. Don't think that provoking me means you don't have to pay a price. I'm not a good person."

After speaking, amidst Lin Fan's terror and struggle, Mu Wuchen's hand slowly withdrew from his chest. In his hand, there was a golden breastbone.

A true dragon bone!

[Congratulations to the host for seizing the true dragon bone of the Son of Destiny, Lin Fan. Plundered 5000 points of Destiny Value.]

Mu Wuchen threw Lin Fan away like trash and said to him:

"Lin Fan, this time, for Senior Sister Yun's sake, I won't take your life. Don't let me encounter you again in the future. If you dare to provoke me again, I will cripple your dragon soul and drain your dragon blood!"

Arrogance, naked arrogance!

This was not at all like a sect disciple; this was a blatant villain!

The onlookers thought to themselves.

However, Mu Wuchen had the capital to be arrogant, and many female cultivators below even had strange looks in their eyes.

Powerful, domineering, and with a hint of evil charm. If such a Mu Wuchen took an interest in them, would they half-heartedly give in?

Chu Lingxiao, standing by, touched his face and secretly rejoiced as he watched Mu Wuchen's methods.

He had originally thought it was a great humiliation to have two teeth knocked out by Mu Wuchen, but after seeing Lin Fan's appearance, he realized that Mu Wuchen hadn't intended to beat him up!

His two teeth, they were truly worth losing!

Seeing Lin Fan's miserable state, Yun Li sighed and shook her head, her clear, cold voice speaking:

"You may leave. You helped me obtain a fortuitous encounter in the secret realm, and today I asked Senior Brother Mu to spare your life. From now on, we owe each other nothing. Tianxuan Sect disciples are not comparable to those of lower dynasties; do not over-estimate yourself again."

With that, she turned around and ascended into the air, colorful clouds appearing beneath her feet.

"Senior Sister Yun, farewell."

Just as Yun Li was about to leave, Mu Wuchen called out to her.

Above the colorful clouds, the fairy in green paused slightly and turned her head.

"Twenty days from now, at midnight, I invite the beauty to meet again. At that time, I will inform Senior Sister of my condition."

Yun Li was slightly stunned, then pondered for a few breaths before nodding and leaving on the clouds.

The male disciples present all looked at Mu Wuchen with an understanding gaze. Inviting a beauty to meet in the middle of the night—what could that be for?

After everyone left, Lin Fan, who had been thrown aside like trash, finally opened his eyes. His body was twisted and deformed, with a horrifying large hole in his chest. His fists were clenched, and his teeth were shattered.

Two humiliations, the grudge of his bone being taken, and finally, he was even going to take Yun Li!

If he didn't avenge this, he swore he wouldn't be human.

Looking at the place where Mu Wuchen disappeared, Lin Fan's eyes filled with resentment...
