The man in sky-blue attire is an elder from the Tianyu Sect, named Shang Jie.
Tianyu Sect is considered quite powerful in this area. Shang Jie is particularly young and has reached the Nascent Soul stage in his cultivation.
Yang Mu estimated that Shang Jie might be even stronger than himself, which explains Shang Jie’s audacity in taunting the Yuan Sect in public.
Many people have gathered on the square of the Yuling Sect.
After all the Sect leaders have arrived, the Yuling Sect’s leader addresses the crowd. He explains the rules of the inter-sect competition, which involves disciples and their masters participating together. Each participant is given a jade token, and the goal is to accumulate as many of these tokens as possible during the competition. The one with the most tokens at the end wins.
Jade tokens are distributed to everyone, and Yang Mu notices that they are of higher quality than ordinary ones. He also sees that each token is engraved with the name of the participant’s sect.
After explaining the rules, the Yuling Sect’s leader wastes no time and instructs the sects to prepare. The competition is about to begin.
Li Yuer, who is participating in the competition, stands beside the leader of the Yuling Sect. She winked at Shi Dixuan and mouthed, “Good luck.”
It’s worth mentioning that the Yuan Sect’s participation in this competition is thanks to Li Yuer. Since the Yuling Sect arranges this competition each time, and Li Yuer is the apple of the Yuling Sect leader’s eye, adding the Yuan Sect to the competition wasn’t too difficult for her father.
With a wave of the Yuling Sect’s leader’s hand, the teleportation array is activated. On the other side of the array is a forest surrounded by formations set up by the Yuling Sect, ensuring no outsiders can enter or escape from the forest. Yang Mu and his sect, led by the Yuling Sect disciples, step onto the teleportation array and enter the competition site.
People with lower cultivation levels might feel dizzy during the teleportation process. However, for someone like Yang Mu, who is in the Nascent Soul stage, he only sees a flash of white light and reaches his destination.
But… Yang Mu shook his head. There’s no one around him. All the Yuan Sect disciples who were with him earlier have disappeared, including Shi Dixuan. The teleportation array seems to have scattered everyone. What happened to the master-disciple pairs?

Unaware of the Yuling Sect’s plan, Yang Mu searches the area once more but still couldn’t find Shi Dixuan.
He decides to give up and thinks it might be for the best not to be with Shi Dixuan, as he can’t help but feel fearful in his presence, especially after the way Shi Dixuan looked at him with those deep, somewhat bloodthirsty eyes.
After all, the Yuling Sect hasn’t made the rules too strict. Masters and disciples must remain together throughout the competition. When it’s over, Yang Mu can combine the jade tokens he’s collected with Shi Dixuan’s.
With this in mind, Yang Mu starts exploring the forest.
After walking for a while, he spots a figure in the distance. The figure looks somewhat familiar, and Yang Mu furrows his brow. He immediately jumps onto a nearby tree, concealing his presence. As long as the newcomer’s cultivation level isn’t higher than Yang Mu’s Nascent Soul stage, they won’t detect his presence.
The figure slowly approaches, and to Yang Mu’s surprise, it’s Shang Jie, the one who had taunted them on the square. Shang Jie is still holding the magical beast, strolling through the forest in a leisurely manner.
Seemingly having walked for quite a while without seeing anyone, and with the area’s formations blocking sword flight and divine sense, Shang Jie sits down not far from Yang Mu.
He reaches his hand under the eagle he’s holding, stroking it slowly, and even places his hand beneath the eagle.
Yang Mu’s eyes widened as he seemed to have an idea of what Shang Jie was about to do.
As expected, Shang Jie, after touching beneath the eagle, retrieved a pill from his storage ring and inserted it into the eagle’s beak. Most pills dissolve instantly upon ingestion, and after placing the pill, Shang Jie sealed the eagle’s beak firmly.
Even if the eagle wanted to regurgitate the liquid, it was now impossible.
Perhaps only after feeling that the creature had ingested the pill did Shang Jie release his grip. He leaned casually against a nearby tree, observing with great interest the eagle’s every move following the ingestion of the pill.
Yang Mu had already suspected that the pill might be an aphrodisiac. Shortly after the eagle ingested the pill, its body began to show signs of a reaction. It began to uncomfortably rub against Shang Jie’s arm, entering a state of arousal.
Although it was in heat, the expression on the eagle’s face was full of pain and helplessness. It seemed to have tears in its eyes, ready to pour down at any moment.
What ensued was something that Yang Mu could no longer see straight.
Although he didn’t want to intervene in these matters for fear of getting into trouble, Yang Mu still had an intolerance in his heart.
This eagle’s state was already very depressed, if Shang Jie continued to do this, I’m afraid that the eagle would sooner or later die of exhaustion. A life would be taken away just because of human needs, how innocent is that?
Although Shang Jie’s cultivation level was much higher than Yang Mu’s, it didn’t mean that Yang Mu didn’t have the possibility of winning.
After drinking the essence of the beastman with a satisfied face, Shang Jie needed some time to digest the benefits of the essence on his cultivation. Shang Jie had always had a high opinion of himself, and he thought that he would be able to react immediately when he encountered danger.
So he started digesting the Jingye in his body right where he was, and didn’t do anything to protect himself, nor did he take back the shriveled down Eagle into his storage ring.
Yang Mu then took this time to quietly dive over.
The first time he did this kind of thing, Yang Mu was a bit nervous, not to mention that he was facing a Nascent Soul stage expert whose cultivation was stronger than his own.
After rummaging through his storage ring and finding a Transformation Pill, Yang Mu ate it. Touching his face that had changed into another person’s, Yang Mu instantly rushed over at his fastest speed.
He swiftly snatched the eagle on the ground, and as he did so, Yang Mu also broke the control ring on the eagle’s neck. He stuffed the eagle into his control beast bag, and like a rocket, he leaped back.
Grab and run!
While Yang Mu sprinted away, he didn’t dare look back, fearing that if he did, Shang Jie’s face would appear right behind him.
After an unknown period of running, he had no idea where he was now. Yang Mu only stopped when he felt completely safe, no longer sensing the presence of any humans behind him. He then perched on a nearby tree.
Looking around the lush yet empty forest, Yang Mu seemed to have successfully shaken off Shang Jie.
Sitting on the tree, he caught his breath and began to restore his cultivation that was consumed during the escape. While he waited, he also anticipated the moment when the transformation pill would wear off. With patience, he sat on the tree and observed the passage of time.
It seemed as if the effects of the transformation pill had entirely worn off in his body. Yang Mu stood up and prepared to take the eagle out of his control beast bag. He intended to feed it a beneficial pill, fearing it might succumb to exhaustion from its earlier ordeal.
As he took the eagle out and held it in his hand, the eagle’s eyes had dimmed completely. It stood quietly in Yang Mu’s hand, neither struggling nor attempting to escape, appearing lifeless.
Yang Mu sighed, his heart filled with a mix of emotions.
Just as he was about to retrieve the pill, he suddenly heard a faint whimpering sound beneath the tree. The tiny sound was very familiar, and Yang Mu lowered his head to see a little white ball beneath the tree. It was looking up at him, and on its forehead, the black fur formed a faint, subtle outline resembling a character.
Yang Mu widened his eyes; wasn’t this little creature under the tree the same Wang Cai he had been searching for so long?
