"Tai Sui?!"
When Mu Jinyu heard Mu Hongchen's account, his eyes twinkled with interest.
If even an Energy Transformation Warrior could severely damage himself without any harm, then this Tai Sui, just from the narrative, was already a remarkable treasure!
And once he saw Tai Sui with his own eyes, its capacity might be far beyond just this!
Thinking this, Mu Jinyu asked, "So what's the situation now, who has the Tai Sui now?"
Mu Hongchen replied, "The place where it was found is in Luo City, and the Tai Sui is still there, not taken by anyone. However, more and more people are becoming aware of it, and many have already rushed to Luo City!"
"I heard they are planning to have a contest, and whoever wins can take the Tai Sui with them!"
"Oh, when does the competition start?" Mu Jinyu curiously asked.
Mu Hongchen said, "Tonight at seven o'clock."
"That soon?" Mu Jinyu was slightly shocked, feeling it was a bit too quick!
He had just been planning to take San Liu to explore the pond by Maitreya Rock in Rong City before contending for Tai Sui, but now, he had to make a choice.
Mu Hongchen's tone carried a hint of apology as she explained, "I'm sorry, Dragon Master, this was my oversight. Actually, this Tai Sui appeared over ten days ago, but I didn't pay attention until today when it was announced that the final duel was happening... I just realized it."
Mu Jinyu reassured her, "It's alright, Aunt Mu, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault. I guess the powers in Luo City originally planned to suppress this matter and deal with Tai Sui internally, which is why we were unaware..."
"The current situation is likely due to some defeated force in Luo City leaking the information. But that's also good, as it favors us. Although we are short on time, it doesn't mean we are completely without hope."
Mu Jinyu smiled and said, "Aunt Mu, can you book me a plane ticket? I'll head over now."
"Okay," Mu Hongchen sighed in relief and agreed with a smile.
Having heard their conversation, Su Zijin, once Mu Jinyu ended the call, couldn't help but ask curiously, "If time is of the essence, why don't you fly directly instead of taking a plane?"
Mu Jinyu explained, "Since it starts at seven tonight, there's still plenty of time, it's not too urgent. Besides, since it's a contest for the Tai Sui, there's bound to be a big fight. What if Divine Rankings top ten warriors are attracted and I've used up a lot of True Yuan during the flight, unable to defeat them?"
He smiled and continued, "So, it's safer to take a plane."
"Oh, then be careful," Su Zijin nodded in realization, then couldn't help adding, "Since that's the case, should Wen Rou and Xiyan join you? They are now Divine Realm Warriors, so they should be able to help you."
"Yes, Jinyu, bring us along too. We've been stuck in Yinlong Mountain for the last half month. Although the scenery is suitable for a peaceful stay, it's quite suffocating," said Gu Xiyan, her eyes lighting up as she quickly chimed in.
Wen Rou also said, "Yes, Little Mu, take us with you. We won't hold you back, and it would be nice to see something different."
Mei Yinxue didn't speak but merely looked calmly at Mu Jinyu. Whether or not he wanted to take them, she wouldn't object.
Because, from her perspective, if the Tai Sui attracted top ten Divine Rankings warriors, then they might indeed slow Mu Jinyu down.
Hearing the women's persuasion, Mu Jinyu smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, I'll take you with me. However, Linglong, Qiaoxia, Qingya, you three needn't come along. You haven't cultivated to the Divine Realm yet, and too many people could complicate things in case of an emergency. I might not be able to look after everyone, but just a few should be no problem."
In his heart, he didn't take the competition for Tai Sui too seriously, which was why he dared to bring Gu Xiyan and the others along.
After all, his interest in Tai Sui was mainly as a component for the Mountain Protection Array, an essential need, but others might not see it the same way.
Especially those among the top ten of the Divine Rankings, they might not even need this Tai Sui.
Of course, just in case, Xu Qingya and those who have not yet started their cultivation should not go.
If they encounter danger, without them, he would be able to withstand those among the top ten in the Divine Rankings, helping Wen Rou and others who are also in the Divine Realm to buy time to leave. However, Yu Linglong and her group are still ordinary people who would obviously hold them back.
"Yes, we understand. We will continue to cultivate with mother at Yinlong Mountain and strive to break through to the Divine Realm soon."
Xu Qingya, Lin Qiaoxia, and Yu Linglong, upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, although somewhat disappointed, still nodded in understanding.
"Go change your clothes and get ready, we are leaving soon." Mu Jinyu comforted Xu Qingya and the others, then spoke to Gu Xiyan and the others.
"Yes, yes."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiyan and the other women went back to their rooms to change.
Mu Jinyu then made a phone call, notifying San Liu that the trip to Rong City the find Nameless's Land of Creation mentioned just now would be postponed. They would go together after resolving the Tai Sui issue, or he could go ahead if necessary.
San Liu, upon receiving Mu Jinyu's message, expressed understanding and mentioned that he would wait for Mu Jinyu to go together.
Why didn't Mu Jinyu take San Liu along?
Because San Liu had just stepped into the Divine Realm yesterday. Although he had abundant combat experience, he was not yet accustomed to the capabilities of the Divine Realm and might even be less adept than Wen Rou.
Mu Jinyu hung up the phone and turned around, noting that the doors of Gu Xiyan and Wen Rou's rooms were still closed, indicating that they were still dressing up.
As for Mei Yinxue, she had casually changed her clothes and didn't bother with makeup before coming out to wait.
Mu Jinyu thought to himself, praising silently, "Indeed, it's still the efficiency of the Jianghu 'Big Sister' of the past."
He wondered whether Gu Xiyan and Wen Rou would take another half hour to get ready.
Then, Mu Jinyu saw Jian Ruyan's room open, and she too had changed into combat attire and came out.
"Oh, Little Yanzi, are you going too?" Mu Jinyu curiously asked.
"What else?" Jian Ruyan, carrying her sword, rolled her eyes at Mu Jinyu impatiently.
"Oh, you actually don't need to go," Mu Jinyu said.
Jian Ruyan glared sideways at Mu Jinyu and questioned, "Why don't I need to go? Am I not a Divine Realm Warrior? Am I not a Sub-hall Master of Dragon King Hall, and am I not free of tasks at the moment? Then why can't I go?"
Mu Jinyu, rendered speechless, nodded and said, "Alright, alright, then you should go too."
He thought to himself that since Jian Ruyan was also going, this trip would be even more secure. With five Divine Realm Warriors going, what could possibly go wrong?
...
Luo City, Ancient Capital of the Thirteen Dynasties.
Dan Pavilion.
Conference room.
The Pavilion Master of Dan Pavilion slammed his hand on the table, his face full of rage as he shouted, "Again with this, how is our Dan Pavilion so unlucky this month? First, our Alchemy was usurped a week ago, and now the news about Tai Sui is spreading unchecked!"
"How are things at the Ancient Elder's side? Can he come back in time?"
Wang Mao said, turning his head toward the silent Elders below and asked in a deep voice to a particular Elder.
