"Who are you?"
Seeing Shi Jing appear, Mu Hongguang frowned. He could not sense Shi Jing's presence. In this place of chaos, the advanced Sovereign Realm was the peak. If Mu Hongguang couldn't sense Shi Jing, there were only two possibilities.
One, Shi Jing's strength surpassed Mu Hongguang's. Two, Shi Jing was an ordinary person. Mu Hongguang naturally ruled out the latter. However, to say that Shi Jing's strength far exceeded his own, Mu Hongguang was still reluctant to believe it.
After all, beings at the advanced Sovereign Realm rarely came to this central region. Moreover, any expert at the advanced Sovereign Realm was a well-known figure in the rear region. Thus, Mu Hongguang's question was an attempt to inquire about Shi Jing's origins.
Hearing this, Shi Jing shook his head helplessly and said, "If I ask you to take action, why are you wasting time? Fine, it's not easy to get a chance to repay a favor, I can't let you waste it."
After speaking, Shi Jing's gaze shifted, and he pointed a finger at Mu Hongguang.
"Your Excellency..." Mu Hongguang was about to speak, but the next moment his expression changed drastically. In an instant, Mu Hongguang's body exploded.
*Buzz!*
Accompanied by a buzzing sound, a white light enveloped Mu Hongguang's soul and rapidly shot into the distance.
Seeing this, Shi Jing smiled slightly and shook his head, "Trying to escape in front of me, who gave you the courage?"
As Shi Jing spoke, a black hole suddenly appeared in the space before him, engulfing the white light. The white light was directly swallowed and disappeared from sight.
"Truly weak," Shi Jing muttered to himself, then looked at Mu Ruxue and the experts of the Mu Mansion. "Your ancestor has already departed, aren't you going to accompany him?"
As Shi Jing's voice fell, from Mu Ruxue onwards, figures began to explode. Blood mist filled the air, creating a bizarre scene.
Qing Tiejun and Duanmu Xiong watched this scene with great shock, swallowing their saliva as if in a dream.
"This spiritual energy should not be wasted." Seeing the blood mist of Mu Ruxue and others about to dissipate, Shi Jing waved his hand again. The blood mist then condensed into blood beads. Shi Jing then pointed at Li Xuan, and the blood beads instantly shot into Li Xuan's body.
*Buzz!*
As the blood beads entered his body, a golden light emanated from Li Xuan. Seeing this, Shi Jing smiled slightly. This was considered repaying Li Xuan for releasing him.
"He needs some time, so I'll leave it to you to guard him," Shi Jing retracted his gaze and said to Qing Tiejun and Duanmu Xiong.
"Senior, rest assured, we will take good care of him," Qing Tiejun and Duanmu Xiong bowed in response.
"Tens of thousands of years... I wonder if the wine from my homeland is still as mellow," Shi Jing said, his figure gradually becoming translucent before completely disappearing from the sight of Qing Tiejun and Duanmu Xiong.
"The Mu Mansion is just gone like this?" After Shi Jing left, Duanmu Xiong still felt a sense of unreality as he looked at Qing Tiejun.
Qing Tiejun smiled bitterly and looked at Li Xuan, who was enveloped in golden light, with a complex expression. "Who would have thought that he had such a powerful being behind him? But, to be honest, if it weren't for him, there would be no Duanmu Family and Qing Mansion left after today."
Duanmu Xiong nodded after a moment of silence. "We owe him our lives."
"Let's wait until he recovers," Qing Tiejun said, beckoning a Qing Mansion expert from not far away. After a few simple arrangements, he came to Li Xuan and sat down.
Seeing this, Duanmu Xiong also came to the side and sat down.
Regardless of whether it was Shi Jing's orders or not, the fact that Li Xuan could withstand Mu Hongguang's strike and survive was enough to earn their respect. Moreover, if not for Li Xuan, their Duanmu Family and Qing Mansion would likely have been annihilated. With the heads of the two families acting as guardians, Li Xuan was worthy of such treatment.
Time quietly passed, and three days went by unknowingly. The destruction of the Mu Mansion did not cause other forces to contend for its spoils. After all, the Qing Mansion and the Duanmu Family were still present, and Qing Tiejun had already arranged for personnel, so the city did not descend into complete chaos.
"Young friend Li Xuan has been in this state for half a month already," Duanmu Xiong opened his eyes, looked at the golden light cluster before him, and then looked at Qing Tiejun.
Qing Tiejun slowly opened his eyes and said, "It's only been half a month, Brother Duanmu. There's no need to be anxious. We should patiently await the arrangements of that senior."
Duanmu Xiong nodded. Just as he was about to close his eyes, he suddenly noticed the golden light rapidly retracting.
The next moment, Li Xuan's figure slowly walked out.
