Redemption Member, Fan Junshu

Xu Mu looked at Fan Junshu and asked curiously, "Senior, what are you doing?"

"Although reading is important, one must also relax the mind and go watch the spectacle."

Fan Junshu had already put on a suit. He stored the book in his hand into his spatial ring, then took out a blue tie and draped it around his neck.

Covering the scars on his body and the tattoos on his chest, this man looked exactly like a refined scholar from a prominent family.

Whoosh!

His body was first covered by blue Qi. Then, the blue Qi became more and more substantial, eventually turning him into a blue water man.

He walked out toward the outside of the cage just like that. The gaps in the cage formed by branches and vines were only wide enough to stick a hand through.

But his body seemed to have turned into real water, completely formless, and he simply phased right out of the cage.

Once outside, the water wrapping around his body dispersed, and he returned to his original state.

"Are you kidding me? He's that strong?"

Xu Mu was secretly shocked. This technique was at least of the Heaven tier. "Senior, it seems you can easily leave at any time."

"You overthink it. I can only leave this cage. The array of this ruin has been specially reinforced. It's easy to enter but hard to leave. To get out, one must pass through the area where Immortal Shuiyan is located."

Fan Junshu chuckled lightly. "But now that the array is broken, getting out is simple."

As he spoke, his figure rushed into the sky and disappeared from the area.

Xu Mu looked up at Fan Junshu and found that he was flying upward.

Thus, he also executed his Cloud Steps, continuously leaping toward the higher ground.

With his current realm, he could already take dozens of consecutive steps in mid-air.

After jumping out of this massive basin, Xu Mu found himself standing on a mountain peak.

He noticed some pulverized corpses in the distance, presumably Zhang Qinghe's handiwork.

Looking around, Zhang Qinghe and the others were nowhere to be seen; they must have left the Inner Realm.

Xu Mu did not hesitate and immediately hurried toward the distant corpses.

Upon arriving, he began using the Spirit Devouring Holy Gu to consume these corpses.

After devouring just a single corpse, he could clearly feel that the Spirit Devouring Holy Gu had become much stronger than before.

"As expected of the fresh corpses of experts. The power contained within is truly different."

Xu Mu secretly rejoiced. Those imprisoned here should all be top-tier experts at the Realm Breaking level.

Since these corpses were of no use anyway, he might as well feed them to his Gu insect.

He looked into the distance at a very familiar primeval forest, which was exactly the previous Inner Realm.

Now, however, it had been destroyed beyond recognition.

Xu Mu followed this ruined area, walking straight ahead, and successfully left the Inner Realm, returning to the ruins of Kunlun Mountain.

As soon as he emerged, he saw the sky-blotting cold air.

Zhang Qinghe floated high in the sky. His terrifying power was beyond what Xu Mu's current realm could measure.

"Thousand-Mile Ice Seal!"

Crackle!

The frigid air spread in all directions at an extremely fast speed. Wherever it passed, everything was frozen.

Buildings, the ground, trees, and even people.

Many people who were desperately fleeing toward the outside of the ruins in the sky were frozen into ice sculptures while still in mid-air.

Then, the ice sculptures fell from the sky to the ground.

Uce was scared silly. He never expected Immortal Shuiyan to be this overwhelmingly strong.

However, he and Youyoufan were the first to escape and were not caught in the blast.

Because they had a teleportation array.

After leaving the ruin, the two of them simultaneously looked back at it.

One, two, three.

Gone!

They had painstakingly planned, paid a massive price, and spent years just to bribe an inside contact.

The Silent Prophet's requirement was to bring out at least fifteen Realm Breaking experts.

This would be a fighting force capable of destroying everything.

They had rescued over twenty people, but in the end, only three managed to escape!

"Remember the address I provided!"

Uce did not dare to stay here any longer. If Immortal Shuiyan came out, they would all die.

The other three didn't even listen to Uce's words. Once out, they immediately flew into the distance and disappeared without a trace.

...

Inside the ruin.

Xu Mu was dumbfounded. This was too damn fierce; no wonder he was called an Immortal.

He immediately retreated back into the Inner Realm array, which was why he didn't get frozen.

After waiting for a while, he felt that enough time had passed and went back out.

He found that the entire Kunlun Mountain was covered in solid ice, completely turned into a world of ice and snow.

Crack!

Besides Zhang Qinghe, only one person broke free from the ice.

It was the Supreme Elder of the Artifact Sect, Yao Dingli.

Other than him, everyone else was trapped within the ice.

"Trying to use our Kunlun Mountain disciples as hostages? Who the hell do you think you are?"

Zhang Qinghe slowly landed on a patch of ice. "I gave you a chance to turn over a new leaf, but you didn't cherish it."

He waved his hand gently, and the body of a red-haired old man trapped in the ice was sliced in half.

Then, Zhang Qinghe moved on to the next person. "I remember your auras perfectly. Did you think you could escape my eyes?"

He now appeared in front of a man in a black robe who was hiding in the middle of the Kunlun Mountain disciples.

Raising his hand in the same manner, the frozen black-robed man's body shattered into pieces.

Zhang Qinghe's speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, all those who had tried to escape were killed without the slightest mercy.

As for these frozen experts, their eyes were filled with despair. If they had known, they wouldn't have tried to escape.

But now, they didn't even have the chance to beg for mercy.

After everything was over, the surrounding ice finally began to dissipate slowly.

The people who had been frozen also recovered one after another.

Meanwhile, Zhang Qinghe turned to look behind a large tree. "Fan Junshu, do you want to force your way out like them, or will you return to your cage yourself?"

"I never said I wanted to leave. I just came out to watch the spectacle."

Fan Junshu walked out from behind the large tree with a smile. "How boring. I thought there would be some true experts. To think that a few low-level Realm Breaking cultivators could rescue people from Kunlun Mountain. Immortal Shuiyan is nothing more than this."

Wang Chi, the Sect Master of the Spirit Hall, narrowed his eyes when he saw the refined middle-aged man in the distance. "A member of Salvation, Fan Junshu? I didn't expect him to be imprisoned in Kunlun Mountain."

Xu Mu looked at the man in disbelief. He hadn't expected him to be from Salvation.

Swish!

Fan Junshu flew toward Xu Mu's direction.

In the distance, Fu Jinyu and Tong Guoguo's expressions changed drastically upon seeing this. They both erupted with power and rushed toward Xu Mu.

However, Jiang Cisu, who was closer to Xu Mu, arrived by his side first.

He pushed his power to the absolute limit, only to find that Fan Junshu had no intention of fighting at all.

Instead, he slowly landed at the entrance to the Inner Realm beside Xu Mu.

He smiled and glanced at Xu Mu. "I'm going back to my cage to read."

Xu Mu was a bit surprised. Even though he was a member of Salvation, this guy was surprisingly easy to talk to. "Alright."

Fan Junshu smiled, nodded, and walked into the Inner Realm.

At the same time, Fu Jinyu and Tong Guoguo also arrived beside Xu Mu.

Jiang Cisu looked at Xu Mu curiously. "Brother, do you know him?"

"I don't. We just met briefly when Immortal Shuiyan called me over earlier."

Xu Mu answered truthfully.

"Strange. My father said that this Fan Junshu is extremely ruthless. Is he just in a good mood today?"

Jiang Cisui shrugged. "Perhaps they were frightened by the old ancestor."

"Is he cruel?"

Xu Mu really couldn't tell. At the very least, he seemed much better than Xie Wangwei.

"Of course he is. Don't be fooled by his frail appearance. Within Redemption, he is one of the top three fighters under Shouxin."

Jiang Cisui looked toward the entrance of the Inner Realm.
