"Hmm, okay, three years it is!"
Gu Xiyan actually felt that three years was a bit too long, but seeing Mei Yinxue agreeing to it and hearing Mu Jinyu making some good points, she could only consent.
Her attitude was just as firm as Mei Yinxue's.
If, three years from today, there was still no news from Mu Jinyu, she would set out for the Kunlun Ruins to look for him!
Her feelings for Mu Jinyu, shared with Mei Yinxue and Wen Rou, were definitely not something the three Yu Linglong sisters could compare with.
The Yu Linglong sisters' feelings for Mu Jinyu were somewhat like a pure admiration, partly because Mu Jinyu had helped them a lot, and he also had some fondness for them. So, when Lin Qiaoxia was drunk and acted improperly, she and Mei Yinxue tacitly consented and helped them become their sisters.
But in truth, her feelings, along with those of Mei Yinxue and Wen Rou for Mu Jinyu, were incomparable to those of the Yu Linglong sisters.
They'd been through far too many things together, too numerous to count. At the Old Dragon King's funeral, the three of them attended as daughters-in-law of the Su Family, and during times of darkness and chaos, they stood firm alongside Mu Jinyu, facing the dangers together...
So, this time with Mu Jinyu heading to the Kunlun Ruins, if he ended up involved in that incident concerning the death of Xiang Mantang's parents, they would definitely go to help him!
During these three years, she and Mei Yinxue would also strive even harder in their cultivation, hoping that by the time the agreed date came, they would truly be able to be of help to Mu Jinyu!
Not like now, forever only able to grow under Mu Jinyu's protection!
Gu Xiyan and Mei Yinxue's eyes lingered on Mu Jinyu, with a firm resolve in their hearts!
Seeing that they had stopped arguing, Su Zijin's tense face relaxed all at once. She hurriedly asked, "Jinyu, are you just going to leave for the Kunlun Ruins all of a sudden? Is everything arranged for the aftermath? After all, to prevent Ye Wushuang from using us to threaten you, we will be in seclusion in Yinlong Mountain during this time. Are we going to ignore the ferocious beasts outside then?"
As the daughter of the Old Dragon King, Su Zijin naturally had a very strong patriotic heart, influenced by her father.
She certainly didn't hope that Mu Jinyu would just hastily leave Dragon King Hall unattended, leaving the Huaxia people trampled by ferocious beasts in a dire situation.
At that time, she knew that ferocious beasts were rampant abroad, yet no organization came forward. Places like Dragon King Hall were prideful, slaying ferocious beasts everywhere, saving the people from suffering. But if Mu Jinyu were to leave the beasts unattended and abandon Dragon King Hall, what would that amount to?
Therefore, she felt that Mu Jinyu should settle the current great upheaval before leaving, just leaving like that was really quite unreasonable!
"Don't worry, Mom, I've arranged everything," Mu Jinyu said quickly upon hearing Su Zijin's somewhat reproachful tone.
Indeed, at first, Mu Jinyu had intended to go to the Kunlun Ruins after a while.
Although the dark turmoil had ended, the remaining problems were very numerous. The situation in Huaxia... the entire world was very unstable.
This was why he repeatedly stayed in Huaxia.
However, with Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan in their current state, he really couldn't be at ease.
Afterward, he carefully pondered, the basic strategies for dealing with the revival of Spiritual Energy and the chaos of ferocious beasts had all been communicated to the relevant departments. The plan for the entire nation to pursue martial cultivation was already proceeding in an orderly manner.
His continued stay in Huaxia would not amount to much more than slaughtering the ever-increasing ferocious beasts.
But these beasts could not be completely eradicated. Every day, many wild animals transcended in the revival of Spiritual Energy, transforming into vicious and ferocious beasts. What could he stop?
In the end, the only option seemed to be waiting for the talented individuals from the national cultivation plan to grow up and truly be able to withstand this tide of change.
As for the problem with ferocious beasts, he planned to have Yu Shenfeng contact those friends from the Divine Rankings to first drive them back towards the grasslands. Then, they could negotiate with the beasts who were gradually gaining Spiritual Wisdom, maintaining a peaceful coexistence.
He believed that beasts with awakened Spiritual Wisdom would also definitely not wish for a deadly struggle with humans!
Mu Jinyu calmed Su Zijin down and then explained to her the conversation he had with Yu Shenfeng after reviving him, beseeching his help to look after Yinlong Mountain, take control of the Slaughter Redemption, circumvent those organizations that were hostile to them, and tackle the issue of ferocious beasts, which Yu Shenfeng, being a Huaxia person, would not ignore as well.
After listening, Su Zijin asked worriedly, "Can he… really be trusted?"
Mu Jinyu replied, "I believe he can be trusted, but of course, since we haven't had much contact and only know each other for a brief time, are not very familiar with each other's character, I won't pin all our hopes on him…"
Of course, Mu Jinyu wouldn't truly entrust the safety of Su Zijin, Gu Xiyan, and the others solely to Yu Shenfeng.
That would be too foolish.
One must always be wary of others.
Next, Mu Jinyu informed Su Zijin and the others about how to use the Mountain Protection Array of Yinlong Mountain, and if Yu Shenfeng had any sinister intentions, they could kill him with it!
Of course, the likelihood that Yu Shenfeng would cause trouble was actually quite low.
"In the end, if Yu Shenfeng doesn't lead the ferocious beasts to the prairie and everyone respects each other's territory, I'll let San Liu and the others lead these beasts to our Yinlong Mountain, and then you can just activate the Mountain Protection Array and crush them!"
After hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Su Zijin realized that his decision to go to Kunlun Ruins was indeed well-considered.
She sighed softly, her gaze reluctantly on Mu Jinyu, and gently touched his head, saying, "You must take good care of yourself!"
"Yeah." Mu Jinyu smiled and said, "Without leaving a descendant for our Old Mu Family, how could I dare to let anything happen to me?"
Gu Xiyan and the other women blushed slightly at Mu Jinyu's words, feeling the mood of parting lighten considerably.
Mu Hongchen said, "Hey, Dragon Master, since you are going to resolve the soul seizing issue for Ruyan and Wen Rou, why not bring along Nameless? Her strength may be lacking a bit, but her Invisibility Ability is not to be underestimated."
Mu Jinyu shook his head and said, "The Invisibility Ability actually isn't very significant. Without adequate strength to back it up, if she tries to use invisibility in front of me now, I could see right through her. As for why I don't bring her, it's because her original body is long gone, and it would be meaningless to bring her to Kunlun Ruins, after all, what I'm looking for is a way to break the Soul Snatching Technique and return to the original bodies."
"I see." Mu Hongchen nodded in realization after hearing Mu Jinyu's explanation, and didn't say anything more.
"Beep beep!"
At this moment, a text message alert sounded from Mu Jinyu's phone.
He checked his phone and said to Gu Xiyan and the other women, "Let's go, your family members have all been brought over. It's been a while since you all gathered together, right? Go out and meet them."
"Okay!" The women perked up at Mu Jinyu's words and nodded in agreement.
Mu Jinyu led them out of the office and quickly saw Gu Xiyan's parents and other relatives of the Gu Family, several of Mei Yinxue's trusted subordinates, Yu Xiuwen the father of Yu Linglong, the parents of Lin Qiaoxia, and the parents of Xu Qingya along with other Family members of the Xu family.
After a brief discussion with these elders, they also recognized the severity of the situation and nodded in agreement to stay at Yinlong Mountain.
Mu Jinyu then called for someone to bring Rushing Spirit Grass and a good amount of Cultivation Resources to help them cleanse their marrow and veins, attempting cultivation.
Mu Jinyu had not considered encouraging Gu Xiyan and their family and friends to also cultivate after annihilating the True Martial Hall and obtaining the Rushing Spirit Grass, because cultivation resources were scarce at the time and there wasn't much of the Spirit Grass. But due to various considerations, he had offered it to suitable candidates of the Dragon King Hall…
But now the situation was different, the cultivation resources at the Dragon King Hall were growing, and even if some were wasted on them, it didn't matter.
If it could extend their lives a little and let them live a few more peaceful years, he would be fulfilling his duty as a junior.
Even if the relatives and friends of Gu Xiyan had no aptitude for cultivation, living in an environment full of Spiritual Energy, their physical condition would be different, and they wouldn't easily contract various diseases, which would also be beneficial.
Passing away peacefully from natural causes would mean dying of old age. This way, Gu Xiyan and the others wouldn't be so sorrowful…
