"..."

This kid actually played tricks on me!

Tianhe Sect Master couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes, but he couldn't continue to force Xu Mu.

"No matter what the reason is, if it's wrong, it's wrong!" Master Tianhe said in a stern tone.

"From now on, Lu Baiyu will be imprisoned in Tianfengjian. When will he truly correct himself and when will he be released? Lu Baiyu, can you accept the punishment?!"

"Disciple accepts punishment!" Lu Baiyu said respectfully.

"And you, too, will be punished if you fail to teach!"

Lord Tianhe looked at the Lord of Divine Sword Peak.

"It all depends on the sect master!"

"I will punish you by facing the wall for ten years. If any of the disciples of Shenjian Peak commit another crime in the future, you will be removed from all positions in the sect!"

"Thank you so much, Master!"

The Master of Divine Sword Peak bowed and saluted, then took Lu Baiyu to say goodbye and left.

"What's the difference between this punishment and no punishment? If you sincerely change your mind, isn't that just what the elder said? Why face the wall for ten years? It's just a retreat in the golden elixir period! There are also rewards..."

Li Heng couldn't help but complain softly next to Xu Mu.

"Brother, be careful what you say!"

Xu Mu reminded him.

Since the Tianhe Sect Master has already spoken, it is impossible to change it, especially in front of so many people. If Xu Mu forcefully argues, it will only make outsiders laugh.

Now that the deal is done, any further complaints would be asking for trouble. In the end, Li Heng could only express his dissatisfaction with a cold snort.

"It would be great if Master is still normal!" Luo Qingchen sighed.

Tianhe Sect Leader dared to punish him like this not only because he wanted to keep Lu Baiyu as a genius, but also because Xu Mu had no backer and no one would stand up for him.

Speaking of Master Gufeng, Qi Yue's eyes couldn't help but light up. He approached Xu Mu and whispered: "Brother, why don't you join us at Luojian Peak? My master is a generous man and I will definitely not treat you badly!"

It turns out that other peaks don't want Xu Mu because they think his soul-incomplete talent is not good. However, judging from Xu Mu's results in the competition, there are almost no shortcomings except that his soul is incomplete and cannot advance to Nascent Soul. In the future, as long as he can advance to the late stage of Jindan

, that’s a lot of money.

After all, in this world, except for a small number of Nascent Soul stage monks, those in the late Jindan stage are already among the pinnacle figures, and they are also very important figures in the Tianhe Sect, enough to serve as the backbone of each peak.

"That's right, as long as you join our Luo Jian Peak, senior sister will definitely take care of you every day from now on. As the saying goes, first come first, first get the moon, don't you think?" Qu Qingmeng approached Xu Mu and said in a seductive tone.

Lone Sword Peak is different from the other thirty-five peaks. It is a peak that the sect can freely leave by default. Even if Xu Mu agreed to join Luo Jian Peak, the rest of the sect would not say anything.

After all, Lone Sword Peak is already an empty shell, and it would be a waste to stay with Xu Mu's talent.

"no!"

Before Xu Mu could speak, Li Heng and Luo Qingchen couldn't sit still and refused in unison.

Xu Mu is Gu Jianfeng's only hope. If he leaves, Gujianfeng will have to wait for Gufeng Master to die of old age if he wants to rise.

"I'm telling you, brothers and sisters, it's not like you don't know the situation at Gujian Peak, why bother delaying Senior Brother Xu's future!" Qi Yue said.

"..."

Luo Qingchen and the other two looked ugly, but they were speechless.

"Senior Brother Xu, what do you think?"

"Thank you for your kindness, junior brother, no need!"

Xu Mu smiled and shook his head in refusal.

It's not that he is nostalgic, but he just doesn't think it's necessary, because later there will be a lot of forces sending him resources, plus the rewards he gets, and the secret caves used for training. Whether he changes the mountain peak or not doesn't matter to him.

Well, if that's the case, why bother asking for trouble?

"Junior Brother Xu, you really don't think about it anymore!"

Qu Qingmeng was close to Xu Mu, exuding a faint fragrance.

"If senior sister is willing to be my Taoist companion, it's not impossible to consider it!" Xu Mu said with a smile.

"Dreaming! Humph!"

Qu Qingmeng's expression changed and she immediately refused.

"Then there's nothing I can do!" Xu Mu said helplessly, spreading his hands.

Qu Qingmeng glared at him and turned to leave.

She realized that Xu Mu was teasing her on purpose and had no intention of joining him.

Luo Qingchen beside him didn't know what he was thinking of, and his face turned slightly red.

"Senior brother, if you offend Senior Sister Qu like this, aren't you afraid that she will settle a score with you?" Qi Yue asked curiously.

"Just come here. Am I still afraid of her as a woman? I'll give her a lesson at worst!" Xu Mu said nonchalantly.

"Brother, you are so brave! You have to know that sometimes a woman wants to cause trouble for you, and she may not necessarily need to do it herself." Qi Yue reminded.

"Well, what do you mean?"

"Anyway, be careful! I'm leaving first!"

Sensing Qu Qingmeng's unkind gaze behind him, Qi Yue hurriedly said goodbye and left.

By the time the rankings for the competition were completely decided, it was already three days later.

As the first place, Xu Mu received a top-level foundation building, a fifth-level offensive weapon, a fourth-level defensive weapon, ten high-quality spiritual stones, a one-hundred-year right to reside in a mysterious level cave in the secret realm, and a

Ten thousand points of sect contribution value.

Then it decreases in sequence.

Lu Baiyu was not present, and the sect also deliberately ignored the past to prevent the last incident from continuing to unfold.

Qu Qingmeng was the third one, and he also obtained the right to live in a secret realm, but unfortunately it was a Huang-level cave, and it was only for fifty years.

The fourth place is even more heavy, only ten years.

The fifth place only has spiritual stones, spiritual weapons, and foundation-building pills as rewards.

After everyone's rewards were distributed, the lively sect competition came to an end.

After rejecting banquet invitations from multiple forces, Xu Mu and Luo Qingchen returned to Lone Sword Peak together.

Danu Erniu, who had received the news in advance, took out almost all the wealth of Gujianfeng and held a sumptuous banquet to celebrate Xu Mu's first place in the competition.

"You guys run so fast and you don't even wait for me!"

Shang Yaoyao chased the three people to Gujian Peak openly.

As his status improved, Shang Lian's attitude towards him also changed obviously, and he no longer minded Shang Yaoyao's dealings with him.

However, Xu Mu is more willing to believe that Shang Lian has a backup plan and is not worried about what will happen to the two of them.

"I thought you wouldn't come!" Xu Mu laughed.

"After all, I am also a disciple of Gu Jianfeng. You won first place in the competition, how could I not come! Besides, you are my little brother!"

Shang Yaoyao sat down carelessly and took out jar after jar of amber spirit wine from his storage bag.

"This is the nectar brew I asked for from my father. One jar costs fifty yuan of low-grade spiritual stones. We will not return home until we are drunk today!"

"Fifty yuan of low-grade spiritual stones!! This is too expensive!" Li Heng said in shock.

Fifty pieces of low-grade spiritual stones were enough to cover his expenses for a month.

"I am happy today! This little spiritual stone is nothing!" Shang Yaoyao said proudly.

Xu Mu smiled and said nothing, hoping that this girl would be so generous when she compensated him with the spiritual stones.

The two of them had made a bet. If he won, not only would the contract be terminated, but all the spiritual stones won by the bet would also be given to him.

Luo Qingchen on the other side looked at the wine jars, his eyes flickering, not knowing what he was thinking.

Shang Yaoyao took out several exquisite white jade wine glasses from the storage bag. After filling them, he pushed them in front of several people with his magic power, and then raised the glasses to signal.

"Come! Let's drink to Junior Brother Xu!"

Shang Yaoyao raised his glass first and shouted loudly.

"cheers!"

Dan Niu and Er Niu raised their glasses and shouted excitedly without knowing why.

Xu Mu also smiled and raised his cup. Li Heng and Luo Qingchen looked at each other and raised it too.

Gudong!

After drinking the wine, there was a refreshing and sweet feeling. Xu Mu felt like he was drinking fruit drink rather than pure alcohol. However, as the wine evaporated in his stomach, a feeling of drunkenness came to his mind.

The power of this spiritual wine was beyond Xu Mu's expectation.
