Jian Wushuang stood aside, his gaze filled with absolute determination.

“Heh, don’t worry. I’ll take full responsibility for the task I’ve accepted, unlike some people who shirk their duties!”

“Yang’er, you must not speak of your brother that way,” Jian Wushuang’s mother reprimanded him sternly.

But Jian Wushuang paid no heed and stormed out the door.

As he walked out of the room and saw the many guests in the courtyard, he slowly turned his head and said coldly, “Xiangmu, do you know why no one follows you? It’s because you’re selfish and self-centered!”

Without waiting for a response, he led the group out of the courtyard without looking back.

Within the Xiang family, even without mentioning the whole, the two brothers, Jian Wushuang and Xiangmu, from the third household, did not get along.

This made Jian Wushuang feel somewhat amused.

In truth, the brothers did not harbor any deep-seated hatred for each other.

It was just that, in their youth, they both fell for the same girl.

Because of this trivial matter, Jian Wushuang had always compared himself to his elder brother.

If Xiangmu passed the fourth round of the inheritance task, Jian Wushuang would strive to pass the fifth round, determined to prove his superiority.

Although it seemed childish, Jian Wushuang’s determination was quite admirable.

Just because of a grudge, he was willing to risk his life—he was a fierce person indeed.

With Jian Wushuang’s departure, the courtyard instantly fell silent.

Xiangmu clenched his fist, remaining silent.

His clenched fist dug into his palm, and red blood dripped from between his fingers.

“Why don’t you tell your brother about it? There’s no need for you to shoulder this burden alone!”

“No!” Xiangmu shook his head and looked at his mother with disappointment. “I’m already in too deep; I can’t let Jian Wushuang fall into it too. Otherwise, the third household will be finished!”

Their conversation concealed much, but unfortunately, Jian Wushuang knew none of it.

Leaving the Xiang residence in a huff, Jian Wushuang led his group straight out of Julucheng.

They still traveled on Dantai’s Qingzhu flying boat, heading toward the Twilight Plains.

During the journey, Jian Wushuang stood at the bow of the boat, staring silently at the horizon.

After a long moment of silent reflection, he turned to look at his followers.

“My friends, entering the Twilight Plains this time will be very dangerous. I do not wish to drag you into this peril. If anyone wants to leave, you may do so at any time. There’s no need to risk your lives with me!” Jian Wushuang’s eyes were sincere.

Dantai immediately stood up, generously saying, “Young Master Jian, without your care all these years, how could we, outsiders in cultivation, have achieved such success in Julucheng? Now that you face difficulties, how can we not help?”

“That’s right, everyone, think about it. Without Young Master Jian, how could our strength have improved so rapidly?” Jian Wushuang also took the opportunity to speak.

The two of them were Jian Wushuang’s right-hand men and had never left his side for ten thousand years.

Now, saying such things was clearly an attempt to rally support.

Some of those who had initially thought of leaving gave up on the idea after hearing these words.

Adventure and reward go hand in hand.

Following Jian Wushuang might be much better than pledging allegiance to other families.

After all, they had followed him for so many years. Leaving now and finding another leader would take a long time to invest in.

The great families of the Wild Ancient Domain valued experience the most.

They had to weigh the pros and cons carefully.

Such is the way of cultivators.

Solo endeavors require confidence and strength.

Otherwise, one can only rely on those great families to make a living.

Moments later, everyone expressed their loyalty, deciding to accompany Xiang Yang into the Twilight Plains.

Xiang Yang was very pleased with this and, after taking a deep look at Jian Wushuang and Dantai, turned and stood proudly on the flying boat, gazing into the distance.

However, he did not know that this trip to the Twilight Plains would bring about dangers far beyond the scope of a Universe Master.

As Xiang Yang entered the Twilight Plains, the Xiang family also dispatched several demigod powerhouses into the Twilight Plains that day.

Among them was a cold and aloof woman from a different race. She had no aura but possessed a unique temperament.

If Jian Wushuang saw her, he would be greatly astonished. The woman had the aura of the Wanliu Divine Tree.

This was also the familiar aura he had sensed when he entered the Xiang family.

The speed of the alien woman was very fast, almost treading on the heels of Xiang Yang and his companions as they entered the Twilight Plains.

However, their goals were different.

Xiang Yang’s side entered the Twilight Plains out of loyalty.

He planned to start from the mines to search for the mouse holes.

But with thousands upon thousands of mines around, who knew how long it would take to find them this way?

Jian Wushuang certainly wouldn’t wait for these people to search.

Although his current avatar was only at the demigod level, his mental power inherited from his true self.

Among all the avatars, this one was the most superior.

His powerful mental power could easily envelop the entire Twilight Plains.

Such strong mental power could only be achieved by a five-star Universe God.

And since there were no five-star Universe Gods on the entire Mount Huo, it was impossible for anyone to detect the expansion of his Thought power.

Even so, it was still incomparable to his true self.

His true self’s mental power could directly envelop the entire Wild Ancient Domain; that was the real terror.

Now it was just a minor issue.

After careful probing, he found a trace of a demon mouse’s aura in a certain mine.

“I’ll go check the west side!” Jian Wushuang found an excuse to act alone.

Swish!

In a flash, he arrived at the mine dense with the demon mouse’s aura, glanced at the bottomless pit, and threw a ball of divine power with one hand.

The divine power, flashing with white light, fell into the mine and responded with a dull echo in just a moment.

But no demon mouse appeared.

“Something’s wrong!”

Jian Wushuang immediately became alert.

He could sense the strong aura of demon mice below, yet none emerged!

Even if the Mouse King didn’t move, ordinary demon mice should have made some noise.

Yet, despite his probing, there was no response.

The next moment, a familiar aura came from a distance.

That aura, one he had once been fascinated by, even fought to the death within.

“The aura of the Ten Thousand Willow?”

Jian Wushuang’s brows furrowed as he detected the familiar aura from a distance.

It was the same familiar aura he had sensed from the Xiang family.

Moreover, this aura was now mixed with a demonic aura.

No need to guess; it must be the demon mice.

He instantly understood.

“No wonder there’s no movement in the mouse holes. Those demon mice are dealing with that person!”

However, this situation seemed too coincidental to him. The last time the demon mice besieged Xiang Yang and his group, it was very suspicious.

Moreover, considering the Third House’s attitude, it was clear they intended to protect Xiang Yang, yet last time they did nothing to help.

There were contradictions before and after.

It was clear that someone deliberately set Xiang Yang up and even made the Third House’s experts dare not intervene.

This was definitely the intention of the higher-ups in the Xiang family.

Now Xiang Yang had just taken on the fifth round of the inheritance task and encountered Xiang family members again.

And it was that familiar aura.

Jian Wushuang squinted slightly, seeming to see through the opponent’s plan.

With a point of his finger, he created a huge disturbance.
