Chapter 54

**Pang!**

A loud sound suddenly echoed through the tree-lined path, a fierce spiritual energy wave like a gale surged out, shattering all the withered leaves on the ground, and the massive trees trembled violently, shedding leaves all over the sky.

Amidst the falling leaves, the two figures that had collided with a thunderous impact both shuddered violently, then staggered backward.

Muchen’s feet skidded along the ground, retreating several steps before he finally stabilized himself by stomping the ground. His palms were slightly trembling due to the powerful backlash, causing them a faint pain.

However, despite the pain in his palms, he had managed to forcefully withstand the fierce attack from Liang Mu Bai. Clearly, the power of the two Senluo Death Seals had finally shown its might.

Ever since cultivating the two Senluo Death Seals, Muchen had never had the opportunity to fully unleash them. His previous opponents, Xue Tu and Ji Zong, were far stronger than him. In such a disparity, even if he activated the two Senluo Death Seals, it was not enough to make up the gap. Therefore, Muchen had never fully understood how powerful these two seals were.

But now, he finally felt it.

Although Liang Mu Bai had advanced to the Spirit Wheel Realm, he was still at the initial stage. This was a step above Muchen, but the gap was not as insurmountable as with Xue Tu and the others.

Thus, in this level of combat, the power of the two Senluo Death Seals could truly be demonstrated.

In contrast to Muchen’s calm expression, Liang Mu Bai’s face was pale. He stared at Muchen with intense eyes, clearly unable to understand how someone at the late-stage Spirit Movement Realm could match him. Although he still had some tricks up his sleeve, he was a Spirit Wheel Realm practitioner, far superior to Muchen. Yet, he had not gained a clear advantage, which he found hard to accept.

“Do you feel that your judgment of me was a bit off? You thought I was just a pushover, but it seems things are not as you imagined,” Muchen said, looking at Liang Mu Bai’s pale face, a smile playing on his lips.

Liang Mu Bai’s forehead veins twitched slightly. He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and his eyes turned abnormally cold. His voice grew icy, “You did surprise me, but... do you really think that makes you qualified to be arrogant in front of me?!”

As the last icy words left Liang Mu Bai’s mouth, fiery spiritual energy surged from his body, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Clearly, Liang Mu Bai had been provoked to genuine anger by Muchen.

He decided that no matter what, he would eliminate this detestable person today!

Seeing this, Muchen’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his smile turned cold. Although dealing with Liang Mu Bai was indeed troublesome, if this guy insisted on pushing, Muchen would not let him off easily.

Under the tree-lined path, the two faced each other, their eyes as sharp as blades, leaves continuously falling between them, the atmosphere tense.

*Crack.*

However, just as their bodies were taut like a fully drawn bowstring, a faint sound came from the forest behind them, causing the tense atmosphere to stiffen.

*Swish!*

The sounds grew closer, and finally, a dozen figures darted out from the forest behind Liang Mu Bai.

“Master, we finally found you!” Muchen’s brows furrowed slightly as he recognized the figures—these were people from the Liu Domain.

Liang Mu Bai also let out a sigh of relief, then sneered at Muchen, “Looks like your luck has run out.”

“Not necessarily.”

Muchen smiled, glancing back at the distance where familiar figures were rapidly approaching—Duan Wei and the others.

Duan Wei and the others had clearly sensed the commotion earlier and were now rushing over. When they saw Liang Mu Bai and his group, their expressions changed, and they quickly positioned themselves to protect Muchen, their eyes hostile and wary.

Muchen shook his head, his tense body relaxing. With reinforcements from both sides, it was impossible to continue the fight. Otherwise, such a large-scale confrontation might attract some of the spirit beasts from the Black Abyss, causing trouble for everyone.

Liang Mu Bai, clearly thinking the same, gritted his teeth in frustration, then glared at Muchen, “Looks like you’ve managed to save your life again.”

“Just talking tough won’t do. Wait until you can truly crush me, then you can say that,” Muchen said calmly.

“There will be a chance. I’m eager to see if your face will still look so detestable then.” Liang Mu Bai stared deeply at Muchen, then without another word, waved his hand and led his group into the forest.

Duan Wei and the others watched as Liang Mu Bai and his group quickly disappeared, then sighed in relief. They turned to Muchen, “Master, are you alright?”

Muchen smiled and shook his head, his black eyes gleaming coldly as he watched Liang Mu Bai’s retreating figures. After a moment, he turned and swiftly moved in another direction.

“Let’s go, we need to meet up with Father and the others.”

...

This was an extremely vast black swamp, with a thick, black, deadly miasma hanging over it. The miasma here was particularly intense, and anyone who ventured in, even a Spirit Wheel Realm practitioner, would not last long.

In the black swamp, bubbles burst, releasing a faint toxic gas, and the black mud occasionally churned, revealing crimson, savage eyes beneath.

At the edge of the swamp, a group of people looked worried. Leading them was Mu Feng, who was frowning as he stared at the seemingly endless black swamp.

“Lord, this Black Poison Swamp is too difficult to cross. The deadly miasma in the sky is impossible to bypass, and if we try to cross the swamp, few would survive the attacks of the Black Poison Crocodiles,” a city lord from the Mu Domain said with a bitter smile.

“Is there another way to enter the depths of the Black Abyss?” Zhou Ye asked, frowning.

“There is, but it would require a significant detour, which would make us fall far behind the Liu Domain,” someone replied.

“These guys are well-prepared!” Zhou Ye gritted his teeth. The Liu Domain had clearly investigated everything thoroughly and might have even sent scouts. They had not taken this route, so they must have found another way into the depths of the Black Abyss.

Mu Feng also sighed, then asked, “Have we heard from Little Mu?”

“Not yet. Should I send some people to look for him?” Zhou Ye said.

Mu Feng thought for a moment, then smiled, “No need. I told you, don’t underestimate that kid...” He turned to look at the forest behind them, where the bushes rustled, and a dozen figures quickly approached. Leading them was a handsome young man—Muchen.

“Father!”

Muchen smiled as he saw the group at the edge of the swamp, finally catching up.

“Are you alright?” Mu Feng smiled and looked at Muchen.

Muchen shook his head, then walked up, scanning the vast swamp, and teased, “Father, looks like you’re in trouble.”

Clearly, he had also noticed the predicament Mu Feng and the others were in.

Mu Feng shook his head in exasperation, then sighed helplessly. He and Zhou Ye, with their Divine Soul Realm strength, could勉强飞跃这片沼泽，但其他人就无法做到了。

“再这样拖下去，九幽雀恐怕就要被柳域得手了。”周野也苦笑道。

“周叔，放心吧，九幽雀恐怕没那么容易得到。”牧尘摇了摇头，虽然他并未见过那九幽雀，但从之前那骸骨所留的信息来看，或许那九幽雀并不简单。

“而且...要顺利渡过这黑毒沼，也并不是没有可能的事情。”牧尘视线缓缓扫过眼前的剧毒沼泽，突然微微一笑，道。

“哦？”

听到这话，牧锋、周野以及其他人都是一惊，旋即眼睛微亮地看向了牧尘，此时的少年，倒只是悠闲地拍了拍手，神态清闲。

“你有办法？”

牧尘见到他们那急切的神色，浅笑着点了点头，在那灵路中，有些地方，可比这黑毒沼更为凶险啊...
