Dragon King Hall's Legend

Chapter 1793 1793: The Senior's Well-Intentioned Help! Ungrateful! The Creation Pool Is About to Form!

"Splash!"

Mu Jinyu leapt and jumped into the boiling Life and Death Creation Pool.

"Sizzle!"

Mu Jinyu's physical body had been refined to be quite resilient, yet upon entering the pool, he still felt the heat.

Of course, having undergone multiple body refining sessions and cultivated chapters like the "Skin Membrane Chapter" from the "Humanity Path Sutra," he could endure it.

"Let's see if it can be absorbed by the Mystical Little Tree?"

Choosing a corner to soak alone, Mu Jinyu did not seek out Kong Xi and others. With a thought, he attempted to activate the seed of the Mystical Little Tree to devour and seize the Life and Death Creation Pool.

"Boom!"

The seed of the Mystical Little Tree trembled slightly, refraining from action but conveyed a stirring desire to Mu Jinyu.

Clearly, the pool water greatly benefited it, though it wouldn't recklessly devour it all until the pool reached its peak potency.

Realizing the Mystical Little Tree's attitude, Mu Jinyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as it is useful.

The fear was it being useless; otherwise, he'd only use it to refine his body further.

With a plan in mind, Mu Jinyu settled down and ceased his attempts, raising his gaze to survey the surroundings.

He observed Ji Changkong, Ji Changfei, and other Ji Clan members glaring at him malignantly, evidently dissatisfied with him for slaying two Ji clan members successively.

If not for the bigger picture, they might have already taken action against him.

"Hiss..."

Ji Changfei, noticing Mu Jinyu looking his way, provocatively licked his lips with his tongue and then ran his hand across his neck, glaring at Mu Jinyu with malice.

In response, Mu Jinyu smiled brilliantly and then shifted his gaze to others.

The members of the Jiang, Yao, and Si clans eyed him not so maliciously but with a mix of mockery and pity, seemingly aware of the consequences of offending the Ji clan.

Next, Mu Jinyu noticed Kong Xi attempting to converse with several senior students.

These were the senior students who, along with Ji Changkong, Jiang Taiping, and Yao Lingfeng, entered the Life and Death Creation Pool first. Their strength ranked them among the top three senior students.

Therefore, if Mu Jinyu hoped for the Ji Clan to spare him, their intervention held some possibility.

After all, Mu Jinyu had slain Ji Xiao, who was originally qualified to enter the Life and Death Creation Pool, enhancing the Ji clan's foundation!

"It's impossible; in unheard situations, killing their clansmen could be overlooked, but once gathered near the Life and Death Creation Pool, people usually won't resort to murder despite competition for qualifications! Yet he recklessly slew two Ji Clan royals; how can we help?"

When Kong Xi pleaded, the three top senior students shook their heads in denial.

Although Mu Jinyu was a classmate, he had no strong bond with them. Contrary to the Ji clan, they shared blood ties.

They certainly had no reason to risk their lives for Mu Jinyu!

"Or how about this; have Mu Jinyu apologize and admit his mistake to Ji Changkong and others. We could intercede briefly and discuss compensation matters to potentially spare him,"

one senior student suggested to Kong Xi.

"Okay, I'll try,"

agreed Kong Xi, thinking Mu Jinyu was too impulsive, shouldn't have killed Ji Xiao before many royal powerhouses, but there was no choice now. Although he doubted Mu Jinyu would bow and admit faults, he approached to relay the senior student's message to him.

"You want me to bow and admit fault, then compensate?"

Upon hearing Kong Xi's relayed message, Mu Jinyu was slightly stupefied before his expression sank, directly refusing: "No need, I don't require their assistance. Thank you for your kindness, Senior Kong."

He didn't believe his act of killing the two Ji Clan members wrong.

They showed no mercy attempting to kill him upfront.

Why should he spare them and dare not kill in return?

Had he been equal in power, if hesitating to kill due to mercy while they dare to slay him, wouldn't his hesitation enhance his likelihood of defeat over the Ji people?

Therefore, Mu Jinyu saw no fault in his actions against those two Ji members.

As for the "kind suggestions" from the senior students, there's no way he'd consider it.

If he sees himself in the right, why apologize and compensate?

Even if he did so, could Ji Changkong and others truly forgive him?

Even if they ultimately pardoned him, ceasing hostilities post-Life and Death Creation Pool...

However...

He was set to seize the majority of the Life and Death Creation Pool.

By stealing their opportunity and cutting off their cultivation path, would they not fight to the death?

If they'd ultimately confront him, why now humiliate himself while admitting error and compensation?

"This..."

Kong Xi noted Mu Jinyu's rejection and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Thought whether to disregard Mu Jinyu's life and death seeing he's too conceited.

Their friendship wasn't profoundly deep anyway.

"We intended helpful intervention seeking any leeway, yet if you choose your demise, we are done intervening,"

Voicing displeasure, one senior student transmitted directly to Mu Jinyu, seeing his rejection and Kong Xi's bitter smile.

Mu Jinyu chuckled softly, tracing the position of the message-sending seniors, and replied: "Thank you for your kindness, senior students, but I will face my actions independently without implicating any of you…"

The senior, hearing his retort, ended interactions with Mu Jinyu entirely.

Sealed his eyes shut, awaiting the brew of the Life and Death Creation Pool!

Observing Dongyue Mansion's minor maneuvers, Ji Changfei and other royal members couldn't help but reveal taunting smiles,

Mu Jinyu watched steadily, reflecting, while they smile now, Dongyue Mansion's senior students avoid meddling in his fate, yet once they realized his near-entire takeover of the Life and Death Creation Pool, leaving most without access, many would fiercely contest him!

This thought sparked a smile on Mu Jinyu's face as well.

"Gurgle gurgle..."

At that moment, the Life and Death Creation Pool's maturation reached the required stage. The swirling black and white pool gradually turned golden, exuding an intoxicating fragrance.

Simultaneously, remaining unqualified observers frenziedly began fierce battles.

Each hoping to swiftly eliminate contesters, seizing the opportunity for a physique-altering bath in the Life and Death Creation Pool!

Mu Jinyu took note, feeling the lurking commotion from the mystical tree seed within his Sea of Consciousness, and swiftly conveyed a message to Kong Xi: "Senior Kong, keep as far as possible from me, the farther the better..."

Kong Xi, startled by his words, was unsure of Mu Jinyu's reasoning for this warning.

But seeing his grave expression, realizing Mu Jinyu planned something avoiding his involvement, hesitated and eventually chose distance.

He didn't act unwillingly to aid Mu Jinyu...

Rather, he discerned determination and confidence in Mu Jinyu's gaze.
