The morning bell rang, and the twilight beat the drum.

The unique sound spread far and wide throughout the Kunlun Mountains.

Situ mysteriously held tightly onto Mu Yun's arm. Now that the sky had darkened, he and Mu Yunyun were walking in the garden behind the main hall.

This was the only passageway that connected the tallest hall to the tallest hall. They were lying in ambush here. If that legendary person really appeared, they would definitely discover him.

Originally, Mu Wanyun didn't have such a strong curiosity, but when she heard from Situ Qing that the cultivation and ability of the mysterious principal of Karakorum wasn't inferior to that old lunatic, she was tempted.

When the old lunatic was still conscious, she asked this continent who had the strongest cultivation ability.

At that time, the old lunatic said, "Cultivation is the strongest, because cultivation is limitless, and others will not easily reveal their bottom line. If one wants to differentiate between the strong and the weak, the only way is the speed at which one's cultivation increases, as well as their potential in the future. In this area, I have two candidates. "

"Who are they? "Is he better than you?"

"They are not as good as me now, but they have the ability at such a young age. In the future, they will definitely be above me."

These two people were more or less related to Kunlun Academy. One of them was Kunlun Academy's Yao Ye, and this person was also confirmed by Mu Wan Yun. That person should be Jin Lie. As for the other person, the old madman didn't say it clearly. However, from the looks of it, Mu Wanyun suspected that that person to be the principal of Kunlun Academy, Yao Ming.

The night wind was blowing, the stars were shining, and even the crickets in the grass were tired.

They were hiding here, and the mosquitoes were biting them. However, they didn't even see a shadow of a ghost.

Slowly, Situ lost his patience. "Big Brother Mu Jun, do you think the person who delivered the food was trying to trick me?"

"What do you think?" If it was that easy to see the other party's appearance, then why would this principal of Karakorum be so mysterious?

"I'm covered with bags. Why don't we go back?"

"You can go back first, I'll take a look."

Situ gave a big yawn and just as he was about to leave, he was suddenly caught by Mu Yunji.

She put her index finger to her lips and made a silencing motion.

The sound of footsteps could be heard in the distance. Although it was very soft, it was still very easy to detect in the middle of the night.

A person slowly walked in from above, wearing a gray, loose robe. He had seen this person before, when the main hall was inspecting the divine beast division.

Mu Wan still remembered that during the day, when he saw the scene that he'd captured, a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes. Although it was fleeting, she still saw it.

For a moment she thought of the man in the black robe she had seen in the forest. There was a flash of purple in his robe, a purple she had seen in the clouds in the sky.

She was suspecting something!

The grey-robed elder seemed to be carrying something. He muttered to himself, "You got it yourself, yet you want me to clean it up for you. Seriously, you're not going to let go of my old bones at all."

Through the gaps in the grass, Mu Huayun saw that the two strange beasts that the grey-robed elder was carrying were the same ones that they had caught earlier.

All the strange beasts that they captured were immediately returned to the forest. Whoever caught them had to personally place them back in place. However, Mu Yun only found out about this afterwards.

However, only she and Situ Qing's Qi Beast were taken away by someone. They were currently in the arms of the gray-robed old man.

Situ gave a surprised look.

"Who is it!"

Even though Mu Wan had covered Situ's mouth at the first moment, it was still exposed.

The grey-robed elder's gaze darkened as his wide sleeves unintentionally brushed against a powerful aura.

After aiming at their hiding place, Mu Yun and Situ could only come out.

"Vice Principal." Situ was fast and nimble. He had already made clear of the academy's connections and immediately revealed the identity of the person who had arrived.

Previously, she thought he was the manager here.

Situ pulled on her sleeve and said, "Call for help."

Mu Huanyun also followed Situ Qing's example and bowed.

The gray-robed elder's sharp gaze wandered over the two of them for a long time.

"Why are you guys here in the middle of the night? Don't you know the rules here? You are not allowed to go out after dark! "

His harsh words caused Situ's heart to tighten.

"I'm sorry, we don't know. We'll go back now. I beg the Vice Principal to forgive me. " He grabbed Mu Yun's hand and dragged him away.

"Come back!" The gray-robed elder called out to them.

"Who asked you to call me Vice President?"

Situ looked a bit embarrassed as he stared at Situ Bu Fang.

Mu Wan Yun lowered his voice, "Situ is still young, please do not blame him. We've only just arrived, so we don't know anything about it. Please do not hesitate to instruct us. "

The gray-robed elder was just about to speak when he glanced over. His hand moved like lightning as he suddenly attacked next to Mu Wan's ear.

Mu Wan could feel his attack, but under the pressure of an expert, she was unable to counterattack even if she tried her best to sense it.

More importantly, although the palm strike from the gray-robed old man was sharp, she didn't feel any killing intent.

The attack was aimed at Mu Wan's left cheek.

A gust of wind blew past, and something suddenly appeared in the grey-robed elder's hand.

When he withdrew his hand, Mu Wan saw that it was a steel needle the size of a little finger.

"Did you offend a lot of people? "There's poison on this steel needle." The old man in grey placed it before his nose and took a whiff. "It's still highly toxic, Turquoise."

Mu Wan Yun knew what Jiu Lan grass was, but to be honest, she had been through a lot of assassination attempts recently.

These people clearly wanted her life, and she didn't know why! Was it because of Jin Yu Lie?

Her face was somewhat unsightly. She wanted to say something, but did not know what to say.

The grey-robed elder looked at her expression and said, "You all can go back first. I will send people to increase their patrols." No matter what, you are a competitor from the Duke of Jin's estate. Our Kunlun Academy has an obligation to protect your safety. "

Mu Wan Yun and Situ Zhaobi returned to the Pure Cloud Courtyard dejectedly.

Mu Wan was still lost in her thoughts. In her mind, she kept thinking about the people she had seen in the past few days. He wanted to find some clues.

She always felt that something was wrong.

The targets of these people did not resemble the group of people who had previously assassinated Jin Yu Lie.

But no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't figure it out.

Seeing that she did not say a word, Situ comforted her, "Big Brother Mu Jun, don't think too much. "Let's rest early."

At that moment, a person's appearance appeared inexplicably in her mind!

Mu Yanran!

She had always wanted to kill him. Was it because Mu Yanran had discovered his identity?

It shouldn't be possible!

She analyzed that her foster father's mask wouldn't easily reveal any flaws and the only time she met Mu Yanran was when she saved Chunyu Hong.

Could it be that something went wrong that day?

If she carefully thought about it, she probably hadn't. Mu Yun was previously a lady from a noble family, so no one could imagine that she had such skills. No matter what, she planned to go to Mu Yanran's residence.

This was the Pure Cloud Courtyard. Mu Yanran lived on the other side of the main hall.

Situ Qing had long since fallen asleep. She changed into a new set of clothes and quietly left the room.

The Wind Cry Courtyard was quite a distance away, so Mu Wan relied on his agility to carefully hide in the darkness while walking.

It had to be said that the gray-robed old man's efficiency was exceptionally high. In this short period of time, the number of guards and patrolling soldiers had more than doubled.

After passing through a long corridor with nine twists and turns, they would arrive at the Windchime Courtyard a short while later.

At this time, a group of night watchmen walked over. Seeing that they were about to fight with Mu Huanyun, she wanted to retreat, but another group of people came from behind her.

She was caught in the middle, in a dilemma. Seeing the rockery beside her, she immediately retreated into it. There was a cave here for her to hide in.

When she was quietly waiting for the night watchman to leave, she suddenly discovered that the cave behind the fake mountain was abnormally wide. She felt that it was a bit strange, and under the moonlight, she saw that there was a protrusion on the side of the mountain.

A faint sound came from the innermost part of the cave.

Mu Wan curiously walked into the cave. There was a secret door at the far end of the cave. The door was very small, and could only fit one person. She looked inside, but didn't know where it led.

Previously, she had investigated this area and it seemed to be a passageway instead of a secret room. Thus, she entered without hesitation.

After crossing the long and narrow corridor, another door appeared in front of her. The entrance was abnormally neat and tidy, as if there were people passing by frequently. Were it not for this, a spiderweb would form in the environment, and the place would be completely clean and devoid of anything.

Mu Wan Yun took a deep breath, pressed her ear against the door to confirm that there was no movement from within, and then pushed open the door and entered.

When the door opened, there was green!

Behind the door was a yard, and inside the yard grew all kinds of green bamboo, all kinds of green bamboo.

This green was full of life.

Everyone knew that in the Kunlun Mountains, there were no low-lying valleys where tall plants could grow, and shrubs could be seen behind the palace on the mountainside. There were actually so many bamboos growing here.

After a careful observation, Mu Yun became more and more surprised.

The bamboo that was growing in the middle of the courtyard had a strange green color. The green had a sparkle to it, as if there was a treasure beneath the bamboo.

Previously, Mu Wan had heard from the gold storekeeper that someone would use spirit stones to grow plants for the soil. This way, the plants would bear fruits that were spiritual in nature.

It was the same everywhere. Could it be that someone was really using spirit stones to grow this bamboo forest?

Unknowingly, she walked up to a bamboo branch and carefully examined the soil. She had indeed discovered something strange.

There really were spirit stones beneath these bamboos, and from the looks of it, they were all high-grade spirit stones!

"This is too extravagant!"

These spirit stones were of a very high grade and had an even higher purity.

"If his son was here, he would definitely like these things." Since there was no one around, she decided to give her son a piece to appraise and at the same time let him study how to use spirit stones to plant plants.

Just as she was about to take out a thumb sized spirit stone, a faint voice came from above her head.

"Are you going to take advantage of this?"

Mu Wan was startled. He raised his head to look and saw a purple shadow on his head. That person was dressed in purple and was covered by a purple robe. He was standing on top of a bamboo tree and was looking at Mu Wan with a playful smile.

"Demonic Nether!"

The legendary Demon Nether of the Kunlun Courtyard who loved purple!
