"Their petty tricks cannot trouble me, Protector Murong, how are things on your side?"

Chen Mu asked Murong Yan.

At that moment, Murong Yan was still somewhat unsettled, filled with shock and suspicion, but she instinctively responded, "The Sky Demon Sect has gathered a group of people to besiege Protector Liu, trapping without killing, just to lure me there. By the time I arrived, the demon men had already retreated."

"Is that so..."

Chen Mu nodded slightly and said, "It's good that Protector Murong is unharmed."

Having said that,

he casually picked up the corpse of Xian Yuchen and walked towards another courtyard.

Meanwhile, Murong Yan was still in a daze. When she came to her senses, she saw Zhao Zhenchuan approaching from not far away and greeted her, "Protector Murong."

"Protector Zhao."

Murong Yan descended from the eaves and said, "What exactly is happening at the County Government...?"

Zhao Zhenchuan looked in the direction where Chen Mu had gone and sighed, "I too have just returned to the County Government. I heard that the demon men cunningly planned to lure Protector Murong away. However, with Chen Junior Brother's current strength, even if the three Great Demon Venerables of the Sky Demon Sect join hands..."

Years ago, when he heard that Chen Mu had replaced Meng Danyun to become another true disciple of Spirit Profound Peak, the fourth disciple of Qin Mengjun, he only thought that Spirit Profound Peak finally had another somewhat outstanding junior brother. Yet, he never imagined that in just over a year, Chen Mu's strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, already surpassing him during their time in Sha Prefecture.

Later, challenging Yunni Sky Peak and climbing the Wind Cloud List, he had far surpassed the heights he was at.

And now,

he alone had slain the three Great Demon Venerables of the Sky Demon Sect!

Even though he was also a standout in the Six Viscera Realm, ranking just below those on the Wind Cloud List, he couldn't help but be shocked by the fearsome nature of the Qiankun Path. Truly, 'in heaven and on earth, I alone am the honored one,' capable of slaughtering three Great Demon Venerables with the physique of the Six Viscera Realm.

To think that not long ago,

Sang Huai, Li Shimou, and the other three Great Demon Venerables had ravaged Ice State for a long time. He himself, even if he broke through the Mysterious Pass and achieved Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster status, could not immediately surpass these three. He would need to gradually refine his Martial Body to perfection to overcome them.

Back then,

he already had the strength he did now, while Chen Mu had just left Yu County. At that time, Chen was only a young disciple in the Five Viscera Realm, barely mastering the second step of three Artistic Conceptions, having just triumphed over Grandmaster Gu Hong of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Listening to Zhao Zhenchuan's words, Murong Yan was also somewhat stunned for a moment. She had previously exchanged and discussed with Chen Mu and already knew that his strength was likely above hers, but she had not expected him to reach such a level. She did not have absolute confidence in overpowering any of the three Great Demon Venerables, yet Chen Mu could face and slay all three alone.

This kind of strength,

had completely surpassed her own level.

Among Grandmasters, only powerhouses like Shi Zhenyong and Feng Hongsheng could achieve this, and in the Six Viscera Realm, looking across the entire Cold North Eleven States, perhaps only the top three on the Wind Cloud List could possess such capability.

That is to say, Chen Mu's current standing was already qualifying him to be among the top three on the Wind Cloud List!

"The Qiankun Path, the strongest Martial Arts in the world, can it truly be this powerful?"

Murong Yan was also a bit dazed in her heart.

Everyone knew that the Qiankun Martial Arts were the most powerful martial path in the world, but even the strongest should have their limits. Chen Mu had not yet cultivated the Qiankun Domain and was already comparable to the top three on the Wind Cloud List. This kind of strength, even among the peerless prodigies of past millennia who had cultivated the Qiankun Path, was probably unprecedented.

At Murong Yan's level, she understood that although the Qiankun Martial Arts were powerful, how far they could be developed still depended on the individual, just like Qin Mengjun, who, like her, cultivated the Qian Heaven Domain. Even without using the power of the Martial Body, just a domain confrontation alone, she did not consider herself Qin Mengjun's match. The same Martial Arts, different people indeed differ in their proficiency.

To cultivate the Qiankun, one must already be one in ten thousand of the elites.

And Chen Mu,

at his current level, had not yet cultivated the Domain, but was almost stepping into the top three of the Wind Cloud List, undoubtedly marking him among the most elite in generations of Qiankun practitioners.

Being able to cultivate Martial Arts to such an extent at over thirty years old, reaching the pinnacle, manifesting the Three Feet Forbidden Domain, such an awe-inspiring talent—Murong Yan even felt that, despite Chen Mu being targeted by the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion and afflicted with Demonic Qi erosion, he still might not fail to become a Qiankun Grandmaster in the future.

Such a peerless individual, like a brilliant star in the sky, might momentarily be obscured by fleeting clouds but will ultimately still illuminate the world.

"In any case, after today, the Wind Cloud List will have to include a fourth person equal to those top three,"

Murong Yan shook her head.

The gaps between ranks on the Wind Cloud List are minute, but only the top three and everyone from the fourth rank onward belong to entirely different levels and heights. Hence, whenever discussing the top ten on the Wind Cloud List, people usually refer from the fourth to the tenth, considering the top three as higher-level experts, not mixed together.

But now, with Chen Mu alone slaying the three Great Demon Venerables of the Sky Demon Sect, his strength and level are definitely far beyond the current number four on the Wind Cloud List, truly qualifying for the level of the top three.

Yu County.

Inner City.

The demonic chaos in Ice State had not affected the order in Yu County at all, as it was too far away, from the south of the sky to the north of the earth. The dignitaries of the Inner City still spent their days indulging in food, drink, entertainment, visiting brothels, listening to operas, also frequenting teahouses to discuss stories of the Martial World.

Since the Yu State Army had deployed to Lang Prefecture, many powers and families in Yu County had been keeping an eye on the battle situation in Ice State because, despite the distance between Ice State and Yu County, the outcome of the chaos in Ice State would still affect the political landscape of Yu State.
