?Xu Shan sent Duan Mu's mother to his inner world, making her disappear. fre enovelkiss.com

"A good dog is one which returns to its owner." Xu Shan smiled, stepping towards Duan Mu who was on his knees, his fighting spirit almost broken.

Duan Mu's heart sank even further, his grief and anger threatening to consume him. But he refused to let his emotions cloud his judgment. For his mother, he was willing to do anything, even if it meant becoming a slave.

Xu Shan patted the head of Duan Mu like he was petting a pet.

"You've made the right choice," Xu Shan said, his voice dripping with false kindness. "Once you prove your loyalty, your mother will return to you."

Duan Mu clenched his fists, determined to endure whatever trials lay ahead, for the chance to be reunited with his beloved mother.

"But before we do anything, there's someone else I need to take care of..."

He grabbed Duan Mu's pendant that was an inheritance from his father, also carrying a Celestial Spirit instead.

Duan Mi became restless as his inheritance was taken, but when he thought about his mother, he controlled himself. His fist tightened to the point they started bleeding.

"Oh right, while I'm busy, would you be kind enough to take care of them? I did promise a girl that I will 'handle' the Shadow Hall. You wouldn't want an innocent person like me to break my promise, would you?"

He walked past Duan Mu, slowly walking towards the exit of the forest, playing with the pendant.

Duan Mu took a deep breath, looking at the other Shadow Hall Leaders. These people had given him shelter and an opportunity to have his revenge when he needed it the most. Yet now he had to kill them with his own hands.

However, for his mother, he was willing to become the devil that bit the hand feeding him.

"What is happening here? Why are you listening to him?"

"You won't be thinking about following his commands, will you?"

The Eight Shadow Hall Leaders frowned, watching Duan Mu stepping towards them, holding his bloody sword.

"We have no enmity. If you want to blame anyone, blame him..." Duan Mu spoke, his aura intensifying.

Duan Mu stood alone in the heart of the Forbidden Forest, surrounded by the towering trees that seemed to whisper secrets in the wind as he faced the Eight Shadow Hall Leaders.

As the Celestial Assassins with Heavenly Celestial Cultivation closed in on him, Duan Mu's eyes narrowed. These eight people stood at the peak of this world's cultivation. Although they weren't as strong as the Divine Empire or Xu Shan, but when fighting together, their strength was nothing to scoff at.

He knew that this battle would be his greatest challenge yet, but he was prepared to face it head-on.

"So you have betrayed us. In that case, we can only..." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑤𝑒𝑏𝓃ℴ𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝘮

The first Shadow Hall Leader, clad in black robes and wielding a gleaming silver blade, lunged at Duan Mu with lightning speed.

Duan Mu swiftly dodged the attack, his movements as graceful as a flowing river. With a swift counter strike, he unleashed a powerful burst of energy that sent the Shadow Hall Leader flying backward.

But there was no time to celebrate this small victory. The remaining seven Shadow Hall Leaders closed in, attacking from all directions. It wasn't a fair fight and no one expected it to be.

Duan Mu's senses heightened, his mind and body working in perfect harmony. He moved with incredible agility, parrying each strike with precision and delivering devastating blows of his own.

The forest became a battleground, with the clash of weapons and the crackle of celestial energy echoing through the night. Duan Mu's movements were a blur, his martial arts skills honed to perfection. He seamlessly transitioned from defense to offense, striking with deadly accuracy.

Despite the overwhelming odds, Duan Mu refused to be overwhelmed, even as many slashes cut his flesh. He tapped into his bloodline, his desire to keep his mother safe fueling his every move.

To everyone's surprise, even when surrounded by so many shadow hall leaders, he still managed to kill a few.

As the battle raged on, the Forbidden Forest seemed to come alive. The trees swayed in were destroyed with Duan Mu's movements. The moonlight bathed him in its ethereal glow, lending him an otherworldly aura.

One by one, the Shadow Hall Leaders fell before Duan Mu's unstoppable onslaught. Their confidence wavered, their attacks becoming more desperate. But Duan Mu remained steadfast, his focus unbreakable.

Finally, the last Shadow Hall Leader stood before him, trembling with fear. He hadn't expected that Duan Mu was this strong.

"I am sorry..." Duan Mu spoke before attacking, putting the last bit of his power behind this attack.

A single sword of his cut through the attack of the Eighth and the weakest Shadow Hall Leader, sending him sprawling to the ground.

Duan Mu walked close to him, thrusting his Sword down, dealing the finishing blow.

Breathing heavily, Duan Mu stood triumphant in the center of the Forbidden Forest. The battle was over, and he had emerged victorious. The celestial energy that had once crackled in the air now dissipated, leaving behind a calm stillness.

While Duan Mu was fighting inside the Forest, Xu Shan stood outside the forbidden forest, the inheritance pendant in his hand.

"How long are you going to hide inside?" he asked, glancing at the pendant.

In the last, he had also tried to take the pendant, but there was a seal that only the inheritor with the bloodline could break.

If he tried to forcefully break that, the entire pendant was going to shatter, which made him leave the pendant to Duan Mu. However, he hadn't expected this pendant to sway Duan Mu.

Fortunately, the pendant was already activated by Duan Mu which gave Xu Shan a free hand to do anything with it without worrying about breaking it.

"Are you sure you want to force my hand?" Xu Shan asked as he received no response.

A devilish smirk spread across his lips. "I hope you won't blame me in that case…"
