Chapter 765: The Mu Clan's Immortal, Struggling for Power

"A spirit beast from the Immortal Realm? Is this your trump card?" A middle-aged man walked in with a calm expression. Seeing the semi-illusory fire snake, he was somewhat surprised.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Fan Hua was even more surprised. He didn't expect it to be the Mu Clan's Third Elder, Mu Heng, who had once pleaded for his life, now coming to kill him.

No, it was normal for him to come to kill him, but the question was why he had to kill those Mu Clan disciples. This was clearly fishy.

"Third Uncle Mu, I remember you once pleaded for me," Fan Hua said, probing. According to his understanding, Mu Heng should have the strength of an Immortal Realm cultivator.

More importantly, Mu Heng had already switched to the Spirit Cultivation Stream, making him a formidable opponent.

"Since you are about to die, I can help you deliver a message," Mu Heng said, his expression unchanged, showing no intention of explaining why.

Qin Mu Ye, squatting to the side, was thoroughly frustrated. Shouldn't they be filling in the details of what happened? Why skip over it?

"There's no need to deliver a message. I just want to ask Third Uncle Mu one question," Fan Hua's expression tightened. "I'm afraid this isn't an order from the Mu Clan, but rather a private move by your branch to kill me."

"For this, you even killed your own clan members to silence them. Your plot must be quite significant."

Fan Hua was certain that Mu Heng coming to kill him was not just because of the stain on the family's honor, but because it involved internal struggles within the Mu Clan. The reason he couldn't be allowed to live must have something to do with advancing a certain plan.

"Hmm, you're right. Is this your last words?" Mu Heng nodded, preparing to make his move.

However, as he began to channel his magical power, the aura of an Immortal Realm cultivator was revealed. The fire snake, floating in the lava, lifted its massive head, and the chains clattered loudly, naturally drawing Mu Heng's attention. He assumed Fan Hua had somehow temporarily controlled the fire snake.

The fire snake's vertical pupils stared intently at Mu Heng, as if seeing through his body.

Mu Heng, however, sneered, "A mere spirit beast of the Loose Immortal Realm, and you think you can look down on me?"

As he spoke, he immediately attacked. He wasn't in a hurry to kill Fan Hua. Even a Loose Immortal Realm spirit beast was no threat to him, let alone Fan Hua, a Spirit Master still in the Mortal Realm.

To avoid any complications, he decided to kill the fire snake first.

He transformed into a terrifying streak of light, heading straight for the fire snake, intending to sever its head to demonstrate his power.

Then, the fire snake opened its mouth and swallowed Mu Heng whole. Qin Mu Ye and Fan Hua could even see Mu Heng struggling inside the fire snake's body. A few minutes later, he stopped moving.

Fan Hua swallowed hard, his expression incredulous.

"I haven't even started sowing discord yet, and he just rushed into the snake's belly." Fan Hua found it hard to accept. Judging by the situation, Mu Heng was probably not coming out.

"Maybe he thought the fire snake was our backing?" Qin Mu Ye was equally stunned. He hadn't expected that the main character aura and the talents of unmatched luck and continuous good fortune would lead to this situation. He even suspected that Fan Hua's Wisdom Sword might have the ability to increase luck.

Otherwise, how could this kid be so lucky?

With these buffs stacked, it was indeed possible for the assassin to kill himself.

"By the way, I want to ask you, does your Wisdom Sword have the ability to increase good fortune?" Qin Mu Ye asked directly.

Fan Hua, still a bit dazed, nodded, "Yes."

"Wait, Fellow Daoist, does your spirit beast also have such an ability?" Realizing that his Wisdom Sword's spirit beast technique might not be enough, Fan Hua asked Qin Mu Ye.

Qin Mu Ye also nodded, "Yes, so your Third Uncle Mu was just unlucky."

Indeed, encountering two main characters with aura and two spirit beasts that increased luck, it was no wonder Mu Heng didn't stand a chance.

"..." Fan Hua was a bit flabbergasted. He hadn't expected that luck-enhancing spirit beast techniques could be so terrifying, even an Immortal Realm cultivator couldn't withstand them. But upon further thought, it was actually due to the specific circumstances. If Qin Mu Ye hadn't predicted a way out and made a slight change to have Mu Heng attack the fire snake first, this outcome wouldn't have been possible.

"Enough, the crisis is over, and we need to leave quickly to avoid being swallowed by the fire snake," Fan Hua, still adhering to his principle of running away, thought. Taking risks was out of the question; he just wanted to muddle through.

"Since we've come this far, it's not a good idea to leave without any benefits. We should at least get something before we go," Qin Mu Ye rolled his eyes. Clearly, this was the time to reap the rewards, but this kid was just not interested.

"Really? You're planning to dig up some stones to take with us?" Fan Hua looked around. What benefits could there be here besides the stone structures and the lava?

The only benefits were the stones and the lava. Given their strength, if they tried to scoop up the lava, they would either end up like Mu Heng inside the snake or be boiled alive. So, the only option left was the stones.

"I think, with our luck, we deserve something better, like rare treasures or heavenly materials," Qin Mu Ye was already despairing at this kid's lack of vision.

"I understand what you're saying, but where exactly are these heavenly materials?" Fan Hua looked at the lava and the fire snake. If Qin Mu Ye had said they were in the first half of the secret realm, he could accept it, but in this second half, the most valuable thing was clearly the fire snake.

But the fire snake was not something they could covet. Fan Hua knew his limits. He, a Mortal Realm cultivator, trying to contract a Spirit Realm spirit beast, especially one that could swallow an Immortal Realm cultivator, was a recipe for disaster. It was best to keep a respectful distance.

"How about this: you go down and kill the fire snake. You take the upper half, and I'll take the lower half. How does that sound?" Qin Mu Ye thought for a moment and found this idea reasonable. After all, the only thing left here was the fire snake.

"Wait, our life-saving snake seems to be having problems. Did you notice that its size has shrunk since we first came here?" Fan Hua was about to retort why Qin Mu Ye didn't check when he went down but then noticed the alarming change.

"Really? It does seem smaller. The chains that fit perfectly before are now loose," Qin Mu Ye glanced at the fire snake and noticed the change as well.

He hadn't paid much attention to the fire snake, considering it was only a half-spirit, half-demon beast with little value. Even if they killed it, skinned it, and extracted its essence, it wouldn't be of much use to Qin Mu Ye, as it was essentially a fire soul.

However, after swallowing Mu Heng, the fire snake seemed to undergo a transformation, evolving into a more spiritual form.

Not only was its size shrinking, but its strength was also declining. The Spirit Realm did not allow wild spirit beasts to possess Spirit Realm power.

"The fire snake's strength seems to have altered," Fan Hua noted astutely.

Just then, the fire snake's strength dropped from the 6th stage to the 5th stage and continued to decline.

This puzzled Qin Mu Ye. Normally, at the 5th stage, which was the peak of the Mortal Realm, the strength should stabilize and not continue to decline.

"It's probably because of your Uncle Mu Heng. After all, according to what he said, the fire snake was only a Loose Immortal, while your Uncle Mu Heng was a Profound Immortal."

"Even if it managed to kill a higher-level opponent, it had to pay a price by consuming the other's power."

Qin Mu Ye casually provided a reason. Although it was a bit dismissive, it was indeed related to Mu Heng. If the fire snake hadn't swallowed Mu Heng, it would have slowly assimilated and remained the same.

However, by consuming Mu Heng's power, the assimilation process accelerated. Given Mu Heng's far superior strength, even though the fire snake had managed to kill him, the level difference couldn't be ignored.

This resulted in the fire snake's assimilation process speeding up, and because of Mu Heng's high level, the fire snake's strength dropped even more. If it had assimilated slowly, it would have remained at the peak of the Mortal Realm. Now, with this sudden change, it was uncertain how much its strength would drop.

As for how low it would go, Qin Mu Ye wasn't sure, but it shouldn't drop too drastically.
