222: Kill

As he watched tens of thousands of terrifying heads charge towards the grand formation, his attack was about to succeed, and a look of madness appeared on the Ghost Refining Sect cultivator's face!

However, after only a few breaths, the madness on the Ghost Refining Sect cultivator's face turned into confusion…

The anticipated sound of the grand formation being destroyed did not occur; not even a ripple was created!

Tens of thousands of scarlet, terrifying ghost heads were blocked by a pink light shield before they even touched the grand formation, and then they vanished into thin air without a trace!

At this, the Ghost Refining Sect cultivator was completely shocked; Hua Qingyan's helper was even stronger than he had anticipated!

He had to escape quickly!

Thinking this, the Ghost Refining Sect cultivator flashed, immediately intending to flee!

However, just as he was about to turn and run, a bone-chilling aura locked onto him, rendering him unable to move!

The Ghost Refining Sect cultivator's eyes widened in terror, filled with disbelief.

To be able to immobilize someone at the fifth level of the Emperor Realm in the blink of an eye, the opponent was likely even stronger than he had imagined!

Bursts of black ghostly energy erupted from his body, seemingly trying to break free from the icy blockade (seal), but it was futile!

Ice began to spread over the Ghost Refining Sect cultivator's entire body, firmly imprisoning him.

The one who acted was Luo Shuihan, who was by Mu Wuchen's side!

Although Luo Shuihan's current strength could not compare to Su Meier's, dealing with a fifth-level Emperor Realm cultivator was effortless for her!

Soon, the Ghost Refining Sect cultivator's entire body was completely encased in ice, and as Luo Shuihan clenched her hand, the ice shattered with a roar!

The Ghost Refining Sect cultivator perished directly!

Having completed all this, Luo Shuihan floated lightly back to Mu Wuchen's side, as if killing an Emperor Realm cultivator was nothing to her…

Upon witnessing the scene before her, Hua Qingyan was completely stunned.

She had not expected that the three people she had inadvertently found would possess such strength!

Such strength and methods must far surpass her own!

At the same time, a hint of lingering fear flashed in Hua Qingyan's eyes.

If not for the help of the two women before her, she might have already died.

Even if she didn't die, she would certainly have been severely wounded, and very likely would have had to abandon the spiritual plants before her, suffering even more intense pursuit…

The cultivators of the Ghost Refining Sect, as their name suggests, are extremely bloodthirsty and cruel; they frantically search for cultivators with special bloodlines or physiques to refine into elixirs or puppets…

The reason she was so cautious was to avoid the pursuit of the Ghost Refining Sect and other forces coveting her treasures…

She hadn't expected to be discovered now.

If she were to fall into the hands of the Ghost Refining Sect, the consequences would be unimaginable…

Mu Wuchen and the others had saved her life.

Hua Qingyan calmed herself down and slowly walked up to Mu Wuchen.

“Brother Mu…Brother Mu…”

“Sister Meier, Sister Han’er, thank you for your help; Qingyan will never forget such great kindness…”

Even if Hua Qingyan was slow to realize, she knew now that she had misjudged them.

The three people before her clearly all possessed strength far superior to hers.

Moreover, seeing how respectful and obedient the two women were to Mu Wuchen, it was clear that Mu Wuchen was the main decision-maker, which was why she thanked Mu Wuchen first…

At the same time, Hua Qingyan was also secretly astonished.

If the two maidservants by his side possessed such terrifying cultivation, then how terrifying was Mu Wuchen himself…

A feeling of shame and mortification also began to rise in Hua Qingyan's heart.

Earlier, she had confidently evaluated the two women whose cultivation far exceeded her own; Mu Wuchen had probably been secretly laughing, and everything he said at the time was clearly just teasing her…

Thinking this, Hua Qingyan's cheeks flushed slightly.

However, after only a moment, her expression turned to worry.

“Brother Mu, we must leave this place quickly; this area has been discovered by the Ghost Refining Sect, and they are very strong, so it shouldn’t be long before someone else finds this place…”

“The Ghost Refining Sect members are cruel and tyrannical; my master chose to self-destruct to protect me and allow me to escape…”

Speaking of this, a look of hatred and pain even began to appear on Hua Qingyan's usually gentle face.

Hua Qingyan glanced at the spiritual flowers and herbs nearby, her eyes filled with reluctance and loss.

Most of these spiritual plants, spanning several hundred miles, would probably have to be left here…

Mu Wuchen, however, shook his head slightly as he looked at her.

“Miss Qingyan, you don’t have to worry; I have a way to help you take these spiritual flowers and herbs with you.”

“As for the Ghost Refining Sect, I don’t even put them in my eyes.”

Hearing Mu Wuchen's words, Hua Qingyan was slightly stunned.

The spiritual flowers and herbs in this place were numerous and of extremely high quality; they were not ordinary spiritual herbs and medicines…

Even spiritual flowers and herbs tens of thousands of years old were not uncommon, and the consumption required to sustain these spiritual plants was astonishingly large.

Even she could only barely maintain the grand formation…

And the man before her actually said he had a way to take them all?

To be honest, when Mu Wuchen first stepped in here, he became interested in the spiritual flowers and herbs.

If they were cultivated in the System World, their growth and reproduction speed would undoubtedly reach a terrifying degree!

Mu Wuchen looked at Hua Qingyan, stroking his chin as he spoke indifferently.

“Miss Qingyan, I see that with your strength, it’s quite difficult to sustain and protect these spiritual plants. Even if there were no Ghost Refining Sect today, there might be a Demon Refining Sect or a Devil Refining Sect, and who knows, one day you might be refined into an elixir and consumed.”

Hearing Mu Wuchen's blunt words, Hua Qingyan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she gave Mu Wuchen a meaningful look.

Even if her strength wasn't strong enough, did he have to be so hurtful?

Mu Wuchen, however, ignored Hua Qingyan and simply walked a few steps to a blood-red spiritual plant several meters tall.

This was a Blood Soul Red Sakura Grass, which normally only grew to the size of a palm, but under the nourishment of Hua Qingyan's Hundred Flowers Sacred Body, it had actually grown to several meters in height…

Mu Wuchen secretly marveled, thinking that this Hundred Flowers Sacred Body was indeed extraordinary, worthy of being a Innate Planting Holy Body (innate grass-planting sacred body).

Although Hua Jingrou also possessed the Hundred Flowers Sacred Body now, her cultivation was still low.

If Hua Qingyan could be brought into the System World, it would undoubtedly be a great boost to the development of the entire System World!

With a casual wave of Mu Wuchen's hand, all the spiritual plants within several tens of meters were collected into his System World, and Mu Wuchen showed no sign of stopping; all the spiritual plants in his path were collected by him, leaving only bare ground…

Hua Qingyan cautiously followed behind Mu Wuchen, occasionally stealing a glance at Mu Wuchen with her emerald eyes.

If Mu Wuchen were to try to monopolize these things with others, she would likely be completely helpless…

However, after only a moment, she felt relieved.

With the strength of the two maidservants by Mu Wuchen's side, if they truly wanted to seize these spiritual plants, there would be absolutely no need for such elaborate measures, because she simply couldn't protect them with her strength…
