Chapter 1295: Re-Entering the Big Python Mountain

The name sounded like a curse to Mu Jiangnan.

At the distant edge of the world, or in a small city with limited information, many people might not know this name, but this definitely did not include the Mu family of the Northern Sea Main City.

This place was not far from the Mystic Sky Sect, so the battle that happened not long ago was more well-known.

The invincible Ruler Ying, who had consecutively defeated several third-step mighty figures, had lost the battle in the Mystic Sky Sect.

His opponent was Ruler Ming, the mighty figure who had risen like a comet.

Ruler Ming’s name was Ou Yangming.

“Are you sure that his name is Ou Yangming…” Mu Jiangnan’s voice trembled slightly.

A glimmer of light flashed in Xiao Qingxuan’s eyes. “Yes, that’s right. I asked for his name, and that’s how he answered. He killed the 2 bandits who were chasing me in one move, and he also told me that if anyone bullied me, he’d come and help me.”

Xiao Qingxuan’s words were half-true and half-false. She was the one who added the last sentence, but no one could prove it anyway.

Hearing Xiao Qingxuan’s words, Mu Jiangnan took 2 steps back.

His face turned pale. If it was really that person, not to mention him, even if the great ancestor came personally, he would have to be polite.

That was Ruler Ming, a third-step conferred Ruler, an existence even more powerful than the sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect.

Who would dare to bully the person he wanted to protect?

If it was really that person, the reason Xiao Qingxuan had so many Violet Herbs and that magical Golden Pill could be explained clearly.

Given that Ruler Ming was such a great existence, obtaining those things would not be a problem for him.

If the situation was true, Mu Jiangnan would not dare to forcefully bring Xiao Qingxuan back no matter how bold he was. Nonetheless, he had to be sure that it really was that person, or it would not be easy to explain this matter to the great ancestor.

Mu Jiangnan’s eyes rolled, and he took out a portrait from his interspatial bag and asked.

“Miss Xiao, is this what he looks like?”

The man in the portrait was wearing a long red robe. He looked very heroic and had a perverse and unruly feeling.

“Elder Mu, he doesn’t look like this. He’s young, but he looks much more mature than this man,” Xiao Qingxuan responded in a deep voice.

Mu Jiangnan’s expression did not change. This was just some petty thought of his. The man in the portrait was not Ou Yangming, but that almighty powerhouse called the Ruler Ying.

He was worried that Xiao Qingxuan would use a name that she had heard from somewhere to deceive him.

Mu Jiangnan took out another portrait. On it was a young man dressed in black.

Seeing this person, Xiao Qingxuan’s bright eyes lit up. “Yes, it’s him!”

Who was the noble who had helped her?

Xiao Qingxuan saw Mu Jiangnan’s appearance and could guess that the other party was a very famous powerhouse.

This time, Mu Jiangnan took the right portrait.

These 2 portraits were specially bought from a chamber of commerce. Every member of the Mu family in the Northern Sea had a copy.

This was also something they had no choice but to do. There were very few formidable powerhouses active in the Great Wide World, and they might not meet them in their lifetime. If they did not know those powerhouses and were negligent such that they accidentally offended them, the result would be very serious.

Mu Jiangnan took a deep breath and stared at Xiao Qingxuan.

‘How could this girl be so lucky to receive the help of Ruler Ming?’ Mu Jiangnan was very nervous.

‘Could it be that Ruler Ming took a fancy to this girl’s beauty?’

Thinking of this, Mu Jiangnan forced a smile, “Miss Xiao, Great Ancestor knew that your family was being persecuted, so he asked me to take you to the Northern Sea Main City to take shelter for now. However, since you know that sir, there shouldn’t be any problems.”

“Elder Mu, are you allowing me to stay at home?” Xiao Qingxuan’s eyes were filled with surprise.

“Of course, of course. Miss Xiao, you can stay or go as you please. I respect your wishes. In any case, the Mu Residence in the Northern Sea Main City is open to you at any time.” Mu Jiangnan did not dare to be careless. Regardless of the relationship between Xiao Qingxuan and Ruler Ming, he could not offend the Ruler in any way.

If Xiao Qingxuan really had the chance in the future…

Mu Jiangnan did not know how far the Xiao family would grow. Perhaps at that time, the Mu family would need to rely on them instead.

Soon, Mu Jiangnan left in a hurry. He had to report this matter to his clan in time. Such an important matter could not be explained in a few words. He had to personally meet the ancestor.

Before he left, he even sent a lot of spiritual herbs. Ostensibly, it was to help Xiao Baili nourish his body, but everyone knew what he was really thinking. If it were not for the mysterious person who helped Xiao Qingxuan, this elder of the Mu family would not even look at them.

“Uncle Qiu, do you know the person in the portrait?” Xiao Qingxuan asked after Mu Jiangnan left.

“Qingxuan, you don’t know his identity?” Governor Qiu’s eyes were filled with curiosity.

Most people in Heaven’s Wall City did not know the identity of that person but as the governor, he still knew a little.

The governor’s expression just now made Xiao Qingxuan certain that he knew something, so she asked.

Xiao Qingxuan replied to him, “After he saved me, he left in a hurry and only told me his name.”

“Brother Qiu, who’s that noble?”

After eating the Golden Pill, Xiao Baili’s body had completely recovered. Not only that but even his strength had returned. He was very excited. That person was his savior.

Governor Qiu’s gaze was deep. He said in a deep voice, “If I’m not wrong, the person who saved you is Ruler Ming.”

“Ruler Ming!”

Heaven’s Wall City’s information was limited, so they had never heard of this name. Even so, the words “Ruler Ming” held a lot of weight. This was the title of a Ruler of the third step of the law.

Xiao Qingxuan’s eyes were filled with shock.

She finally understood why Mu Jiangnan was so respectful just now. It turned out that that person had such a terrifying identity. Thinking of this, she could not help but feel pleased. She did not think that she would one day frighten others by relying on someone else’s power.

Outside the Big Python Mountain.

After eating medicinal pills, He Mu’s body had gradually recovered.

Ou Yangming was not stingy either. He gave He Mu another type of medicinal pill for him to recover his vitality, directly allowing his strength to return to its peak state.

With the strength of the peak of laws, as long as He Mu did not go near the Big Python Mountain to court death, there would not be any accidents.

After doing all this, Ou Yangming decided to return to the Big Python Mountain.

He still had important things to do. He came here for the Ancient Demons’ blood essences. The blood essences he got yesterday were not enough. He needed a lot more. He might not be able to use up all the Dripping Blood Stones in his interspatial ring, but he must have enough blood essences to fuse up to 10,000 Dripping Blood Stones in total.

The further Ou Yangming went, the more difficult it became. He needed a huge amount of blood essence.

After all, the crisis was getting closer. There were still about 2 years before the opening of the Immortal Path. So far, 2 powerhouses who were a half step to the Heavenly Rank had appeared. If the day of the Immortal Path came, it was hard to guarantee that there would not be a true powerhouse in the Heavenly Rank. At that time, if Ou Yangming was not strong enough, one could imagine the outcome.

Besides, he was doing all this to protect himself as well.

It was unknown when Chi Ming would find him again. If he did not plan ahead, he would probably die without knowing the reason.

“Ou Yangming, do you really want to go to that Big Python Mountain? Now that the Abyss of Despair has been broken, the Demon Kings inside will be born. That place must be very dangerous. There’s no need for you to…” 10,000 Beasts did not know why Ou Yangming had to go there.

“That’s right, little brother. The Abyss of Despair is too dangerous. Besides, more than one Demon King has appeared. We should go to the Great Wide World and ask for help from the mighty figures over there.”

In He Mu’s opinion, a Demon King was an incomparably terrifying existence. It was on par with a mighty figure of the third step. Ou Yangming had displayed the strength to kill an Ancient Demon of the second step, but he must be inferior to a Demon King. Moreover, there was not just one Demon King.

“Hahahaha, I’m right here. Why should I ask for help from others?” Ou Yangming smiled faintly and looked at the master and the disciple. “Have you heard of Ruler Ming?”

“Ruler Ming…” He Mu looked at Ou Yangming in shock and muttered the name.

He was, after all, a powerhouse at the peak of the law boundary. In the Great Wide World, he certainly belonged to the upper echelon. How could he not know this name?

Ruler Ming and Ruler Ying. These were the most famous almighty powerhouses in the Great Wide World. The former was even more powerful than the latter.

“Ruler Ming, Ou Yangming…”

After repeating the name a few times, a look of disbelief flashed through He Mu’s eyes. He had thought of a possibility.

“Ou Yangming, are you…” 10,000 Beasts asked in surprise.

Not long ago, when the Big Python Mountain was still relatively calm, a friend of his master had talked about this name. At that time, he was present. Despite that, this place was not well-informed. They only knew the title of Ruler Ming, but they did not know his true name.

“It’s me.” Ou Yangming grinned and nodded. “I’m Ruler Ming.”

He Mu had long guessed it but after hearing Ou Yangming’s affirmation, he was still very shocked. His body trembled, and he hurriedly knelt down. “Greetings, Ruler Ming.”

10,000 Beasts also intended to bow but was stopped by Ou Yangming.

Ou Yangming waved his hand, and He Mu could not help but stand up without being able to resist at all. After the old man recovered his strength, he could clearly feel the fearsome spiritual power.

The young fellow asked, “What else do you have to worry about now?”

He Mu said, “Nothing, nothing! With you here, Ruler Ming, those Ancient Demons won’t be able to stir up anything.”

“Hahaha…” Ou Yangming laughed loudly and walked out of the door. Just as he walked out of the door, he had disappeared.

He Mu and 10,000 Beasts looked at the empty door with shock in their eyes. The elder was shocked. He had never thought that the friend his disciple had mentioned so many times was Ruler Ming.

“Disciple, this friend of yours isn’t bad.”

“Master, I didn’t know either.”

10,000 Beasts laughed bitterly. He was at a loss.

In a moment, Ou Yangming had appeared in the sky above the Big Python Mountain.

He swept his gaze across the big mountain in front of him with a faint smile on his face.

“Do you think that I won’t be able to find you if you hide?”
