407: Chapter 407 Annihilation of the White-Clad
At this moment, in a ruin within the Legacy grounds.
A white figure stood in the ruins, looking at a Jade Slip in his hand.
It was that man in white.
"The Legacy of the Yin God... was taken by that human?"
A trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
"It doesn't matter. There is more than one Legacy."
He put away the Jade Slip, turned around, and walked in another direction.
"Once I obtain other Legacies, I will come back to settle the score with you."
The group passed through the dark canyons of the Yinyuan Mountain Range, crossed the desolate plains of the inner region, and finally returned to the territory of the Yinming Clan.
Nether Abyss arranged for Mu Zun to stay in the most prestigious guest hall, ordered the best spiritual fruits and spiritual tea to be served, and personally attended to him.
"Senior Qin, please rest in the hall first. If you need anything, just give the order," Nether Abyss said respectfully.
Mu Zun nodded. "You may leave."
"Yes." Nether Abyss bowed and retreated.
The hall doors closed, leaving only Mu Zun and the sisters, Xuan Hua and Xuan Duo, inside.
Xuan Duo let out a long sigh and slumped into a chair. "We can finally rest... This journey really scared me to death."
Xuan Hua also let out a sigh of relief, but she remained vigilant, her gaze sweeping across the hall.
"Young Master Qin, that man in white... will he chase us here?" Xuan Hua asked with concern.
"He won't," Mu Zun said indifferently. "He dares not."
Xuan Hua felt slightly relieved but was still worried. "But... why did he impersonate you? And he wanted to capture us sisters to threaten you... Who exactly is he?"
Mu Zun did not answer.
He was also pondering this question.
That man in white was not weak; his strength was at least at the Peak of the Chaos Profound Venerable, and possibly even a Quasi-Emperor.
But he acted secretively, hiding his head and showing his tail, not daring to appear openly, only daring to make small moves in the shadows.
"He is nothing but a clown," Mu Zun said indifferently. "Once I finish absorbing the Legacy, I will go find him."
Xuan Hua nodded and asked no more.
Over the next few days, Mu Zun went into seclusion in the guest hall to absorb the Legacy of the Yin God.
The Yin God cultivated the pure Yin-attributed Dao, which did not conflict with Mu Zun's Chaos Body; rather, they complemented each other.
Chaos gives birth to Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang transform all things.
With the Legacy of the Yin God, Mu Zun's understanding of Yin-attributed Laws reached a brand new height.
He even began to attempt to combine the Divine Abilities of the Yin God with his own Chaos Body, deducing a brand-new Cultivation Technique.
This process was not easy, but with the assistance of his Heavy Pupils and the lifelong insights of the Yin God as a reference, his progress was extremely fast.
On the third day.
Mu Zun opened his eyes, a glimmer of light flashing through them.
"It is about time."
He stood up and walked out of the hall.
Outside the hall, Xuan Hua and Xuan Duo were cultivating in the courtyard.
Seeing Mu Zun come out, the sisters hurriedly greeted him.
"Young Master Qin, you have finished your seclusion!" Xuan Duo said happily.
Mu Zun nodded. "I am going to find that man in white."
Xuan Hua's expression tightened. "Young Master, do you know where he is?"
"I do not," Mu Zun said indifferently. "But he cannot run."
He raised his hand, and a trace of extremely faint Qi appeared in his palm.
It was the lingering Qi left behind by the man in white when he was hunting Xuan Hua, which Mu Zun had captured and sealed.
"Trace the Qi and find him."
Mu Zun urged his Chaos Qi, and the trace of Qi trembled slightly, drifting in a certain direction.
"Let's go."
Mu Zun stepped forward, following the direction of the Qi.
Xuan Hua and Xuan Duo hurriedly followed.
In the Yinyuan Secret Realm, in a certain dark ruin.
The man in white was sitting cross-legged on a dilapidated altar, faint black Qi swirling around his body, holding an ancient Jade Slip in his hand.
The Jade Slip emitted a faint light, and mysterious runes floated out from it, sinking into his brow.
"Almost there... almost there..."
He muttered to himself, his eyes filled with excitement.
This Jade Slip was something he found in another ruin within the Legacy grounds, recording a fragment of an ancient Demonic Technique.
Although incomplete, it was already a huge gain for him.
"Once I master this Demonic Technique, I will go deal with that human..."
A sneer curled at the corners of his mouth.
"Chaos Body... If I can perform Possession on his Physical Body, then I..."
Before he could finish his words, his expression changed drastically!
"Who?!"
He stood up abruptly, his gaze like lightning, sweeping toward the entrance of the ruins.
A white-clad figure was slowly walking over.
The white clothes were as white as snow, his aura was ethereal, and his expression was indifferent.
It was none other than Mu Zun.
"You...!"
The man in white's pupils constricted, his face full of disbelief.
"How did you find this place?!"
"Your Qi," Mu Zun said indifferently. "It was too obvious."
The man in white's face turned livid.
He thought he had restrained his Qi to the limit, but he did not expect to still be tracked.
"What do you want?" he asked in a deep voice.
"Kill you," Mu Zun said indifferently, as if speaking of a trivial matter.
A trace of fear flashed in the man in white's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by ruthlessness.
"Kill me? Just by you?"
He sneered, and the black Qi around his body surged!
"Do you think I am still the same as before?"
As his voice fell, he raised his hand and struck out with a palm!
The black Qi transformed into a huge ghost claw, reaching out toward Mu Zun!
Wherever the ghost claw passed, the Void Realm distorted, and the ground was torn into deep trenches!
The power of this palm was more than double what it was when he was hunting Xuan Hua!
Clearly, he had indeed gained something in the Legacy grounds.
However—
Mu Zun did not even stop his steps.
He just raised his hand and pointed out gently.
A streak of Chaos Qi shot out, colliding with the ghost claw!
"Sss—"
In front of the Chaos Qi, the ghost claw was as fragile as paper, instantly shattering!
The man in white's expression changed drastically!
"How is this possible?!"
He desperately urged his black Qi, wanting to resist, but the Chaos Qi had already pierced through his chest!
"Pfft!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood, flying backward and crashing heavily into the ruins!
"You... your strength..."
He struggled to get up, only to find that all his Meridians were severed inch by inch, his magic power was dissipating, and his life force was fading away.
"Impossible... impossible..."
He muttered to himself, his eyes filled with despair.
Mu Zun walked up to him, looking down at him from above.
"Who are you? Why did you impersonate me?"
The man in white laughed miserably. "Tell you... what good would that do?"
"I can let you die more quickly," Mu Zun said indifferently.
The man in white was silent for a moment before speaking slowly.
"I... am called Bai You... I am an abandoned child of the Xuanyou Clan..."
"Xuanyou Clan?" Mu Zun raised an eyebrow slightly.
"That's right," Bai You laughed miserably. "I was originally the illegitimate son of the Xuanyou Clan Chief, but because of my special Physique, I was regarded as a heretic by the Elders of the clan and exiled..."
"I wandered in the Yinyuan Secret Realm for many years and accidentally obtained the Legacy of an ancient Demonic Lord, which is how I possess my current strength."
"I impersonated you because I wanted to borrow your identity to sneak into the Yinming Clan and steal their Clan-Protecting Treasure..."
"As for capturing those two women... it was so I would have bargaining chips when you appeared..."
He finished speaking intermittently, his breath already extremely weak.
"So that's it," Mu Zun said indifferently.
He raised his hand, and a streak of Chaos Qi sank into Bai You's brow.
Bai You's body instantly stiffened, and the light in his eyes quickly dimmed.
The next moment, his body began to disintegrate, starting from his fingertips, turning into countless tiny specks of light that dissipated into the Void Realm.
He didn't even have time to let out a scream.
A powerhouse at the Peak of the Chaos Profound Venerable had disappeared just like that, without a sound.
Xuan Hua and Xuan Duo stood in the distance, watching this scene, a complex emotion surging in their hearts.
"Let's go."
Mu Zun turned and walked toward the outside of the ruins.
The sisters hurriedly followed.
