"Where did this little thing come from, daring to make noise in front of me?"
The middle-aged knight at the forefront cast a cold glance at Qin Mu.
"Fine, since we have a live example right here, let me show you the consequences of disrespecting my Illusion Extinction Palace!"
With that, the middle-aged knight moved. He casually swiped his palm at Qin Mu. A radiance gathered in his palm, and killing intent surged, completely disregarding Qin Mu.
However, before his attack could land, it vanished into thin air midway, as if it never existed.
"Hmm? A cultivator?"
Surprised that his attack was mysteriously nullified, the middle-aged knight was taken aback. A trace of delight appeared in his eyes as he looked at Qin Mu.
"I was wondering who would dare oppose my Illusion Extinction Palace on this land. Turns out, it's just some little cultivator who popped out of nowhere.
Relying on a little bit of strength, you want to act as a hero? Too naive.
However, it's just as well. My Illusion Extinction Palace is exactly in need of cultivator slaves to mine, and it will be an honor for you to become one of my palace's miner slaves, digging source stones for the great lords of the ancient clans."
"A few ants, daring to make noise?"
Qin Mu shook his head, not wanting to say more.
These more than ten knights had cultivation levels ranging from Blood Condensation to Bone Tempering, so naturally, they couldn't see Qin Mu's true strength.
However, Qin Mu no longer wanted to waste time.
Taking a step forward, his powerful aura surged, and a wave of invisible divine power rippled out. The bodies of the more than ten powerful knights from the Illusion Extinction Palace exploded, with brilliant blood blossoms, all perishing!
The middle-aged knight at the forefront did not die, but he spat out blood and was sent flying. A series of cracking sounds rang out from his body as all his bones shattered.
He was still alive only because Qin Mu needed him to lead the way, so Qin Mu spared his life for now.
"You!"
The middle-aged knight collapsed to the ground, blood pouring from his mouth, and looked at Qin Mu in panic.
He had never expected that this seemingly "harmless" young man possessed such immense strength!
"If you want to live, lead me to the ancient mine of your Illusion Extinction Palace," Qin Mu said coldly, stepping forward to grab the middle-aged knight, who was in a miserable state.
"My lord, spare me! I am willing to guide you!"
The middle-aged knight begged repeatedly, filled with fear. The aura Qin Mu had just released made him feel that this youth was even stronger than the elders of the Illusion Extinction Palace!
"This place is no longer safe. After I deal with all the trouble, you can return to the town."
After taking care of the knights, Qin Mu did not forget the inhabitants of the town.
He moved all the human residents to a small oasis several hundred miles away, allowing them to stay there temporarily.
Having killed the knights, Qin Mu knew that if the Illusion Extinction Palace discovered it, they might retaliate. He didn't want to involve these poor mortals because of his actions.
However, once he dealt with the troubles of the Illusion Extinction Palace, these people would be able to return to the town before long.
"My lord, please be careful."
The townsfolk said with gratitude and reverence.
They looked at Qin Mu with awe, the power he had displayed in annihilating all the Illusion Extinction Palace knights was something that deeply impressed them.
"My lord…"
The elder, the leader of the town, stepped forward, looking at Qin Mu with hesitation, as if he had something to say.
"What is it, elder? Feel free to speak," Qin Mu said with a smile, reassuring him.
"I heard that you plan to go to the ancient mine of the Illusion Extinction Palace. I wonder if… if you could help us find a girl. Her name is Yun Ruoxi, and she is also a resident of our Pingyang Town. She is our town's hope..."
Yun Ruoxi?
Qin Mu raised an eyebrow but did not interrupt. He continued listening to the elder.
After the elder finished speaking, Qin Mu's eyes lit up with a trace of joy.
It turned out that this girl named Yun Ruoxi was an orphan. She had wandered into Pingyang Town when she was young, for reasons unknown, and was adopted by the townsfolk. She grew up in Pingyang Town.
Although Yun Ruoxi was an orphan, she was extraordinary from a young age.
Her physical constitution was exceptionally strong. By the time she grew up, her strength surpassed that of grown men and was considered to be incredibly powerful, even capable of lifting ancient cauldrons weighing several tons.
Moreover, her blood was unlike that of ordinary people. It wasn't red but a dazzling golden color!
Everyone could see that Yun Ruoxi was extraordinary, and they believed she was a cultivator with tremendous potential.
However, the people of the town didn't understand cultivation, and only a few cultivators there were of low rank, so she couldn't cultivate their methods.
The last time the Illusion Extinction Palace came to Pingyang Town to capture people, Yun Ruoxi was worried about the townsfolk being harmed. She didn't dare to resist and had to leave with them.
Golden blood, divine strength from birth?
Qin Mu had a faint suspicion in his heart.
Could this girl be the one with that legendary physique?
To his surprise, he had gained an unexpected benefit on this trip.
After bidding farewell to the eager townsfolk, Qin Mu set off with the middle-aged knight, heading toward the ancient mine of the Illusion Extinction Palace.
With the knight guiding the way, Qin Mu quickly found the location of the ancient mine.
Then, under the incredulous gaze of the middle-aged knight, Qin Mu casually pointed and ended his life.
Looking at the middle-aged knight's disbelieving death, Qin Mu felt no sympathy or hesitation.
From the very beginning, he had never planned to spare this man.
Becoming a running dog for the ancient clans, oppressing and persecuting his own kind—this sort of person had to die!
