Starting with the Magic Absorption Technique: I swept through the fantasy world.

Qixi didn't argue, knowing it wouldn't make any difference. He just secretly looked up and saw that His Highness was alright, which put his mind at ease.

Xu Ya naturally wouldn't concern herself with such matters. Besides, the other party hadn't spoken, so she knew that what Pu Kun said was probably true. Moreover, Pu Kun was the sect's law enforcement elder, so he naturally had the right to manage these matters.

Wang Mu hurried down the mountain. He didn't see Xia Luo at the previous spot, so he didn't stop and continued running downhill. Unexpectedly, he encountered these people here, and Xia Luo was also there.

Seeing everyone kneeling on the ground facing Xia Luo, he was taken aback and finally realized that Xia Luo was the current princess of the Li Yan Phoenix Clan.

When Pu Kun saw a stranger coming down from the mountain, he shouted, "Who is he, daring to trespass on Mount Liyan? Quick, seize him!"

The disciples of Li Yan drew their greatswords and charged towards Wang Mu.

Wang Mu harbored resentment towards Xu Ya, but with so many Li Yan disciples around, and the speaker being quite powerful, he was already engaged in a fierce battle half the night. If he attracted even more Li Yan disciples, he would certainly have no chance of escaping.

He didn't linger, but leaped up and flew directly over their heads.

This startled Pu Kun greatly, who thought he was plotting against the Phoenix Princess. He rushed to her side and shouted to his disciples, "Protect Her Highness!"

Wang Mu looked back and saw the Phoenix Clan Princess smiling. His anger intensified. He then saw a person kneeling on the ground, a criminal from the sect. He grabbed Qi Xi and fled down the mountain.

"Chase me!"

Pukun realized what was happening and quickly directed his disciples.

“Pu Kun,” Xu Ya blurted out.

Pukun and his disciples stopped and turned to look at the Phoenix Princess.

This was Pukun's duty, and Xuya just wanted to buy some time, so she said, "It's alright, go after them quickly."

Hearing the shouts behind him, Wang Mu immediately understood what the Phoenix Princess meant. He thought to himself, "That's enough, that's enough. I injured one of her guards earlier, so this is settled."

With that thought in mind, he stopped dwelling on the matter.

Pu Kun was delayed by the Phoenix Princess's call, and by the time he went to chase after her, Wang Mu was already ten miles away.

The disciples of Li Yan at the foot of the mountain fought a fierce battle with the undead all night. They never expected that someone would sneak into the holy mountain. They saw a person flying down from the mountain. This person did not walk on the ground, but walked on the rocks and treetops. The thousands of disciples could only roar and chase after him along the mountain path.

Wang Mu's lightness skill was unparalleled. Seeing that he could not catch up with his opponent, he gave up, and Xu Ya also fell behind by a step.

One night, the two fought side by side and became much closer.

Xu Ya couldn't help but think of the man's scent that had enveloped her. Recalling it now, her face flushed slightly. She quickly cleared her mind of all the jumbled thoughts and turned to return to her palace.

The next moment, she made a decision in her heart: she would still go to find the Emperor, because she had a reason for it: the Emperor was a level ten Flame cultivator.

This is no small matter, but she doesn't want to report it to His Majesty for the time being.

Wang Mu grabbed Qixi and fled the sacred mountain, running wildly for most of the day.

He didn't take the main roads, but instead traversed mountains and desolate places, crossing rivers and mountains, leaping from treetops to narrow cliffs with a whoosh.

At first, Chishi was a little scared, but later, seeing that he was alright, all his fear disappeared.

He secretly glanced at the boy carrying him and saw that there was no fluctuation of wind-type spiritual power on the boy. He knew that he had encountered a powerful person, and a very strange one at that.

He couldn't help but think that he was a criminal from the Li Yan Sect who had been rescued by chance, perhaps because he had met a benefactor.

Around noon, Wang Mu landed on the ground and threw the person to the ground.

Qixi was quite clever; he got up and bowed deeply, saying, "My lord, please accept me as your student."

Wang Mu was taken aback. He hadn't even recovered from his shock when this guy suddenly started asking to become his disciple. It was both funny and exasperating.

He stared at the other person for a few seconds and asked, "Why do you want to be my student?"

Qi Xi said sadly, "My lord, I was an orphan and was raised by the Li Yan Sect since I was a child. I always thought the sect was my home. I never expected such a thing to happen now."

"If I'm not mistaken, the sect should have issued a notice by now, and is hunting me down all over the continent. The sect has millions of disciples, and almost half the continent is populated by its people. Right now, I have nowhere to go."

Wang Mu sneered, "You know that the sect has millions of disciples. If I accept you, not only will I not be able to protect you, but I will also be criticized by the sect, who may even think that I am in cahoots with you."

Qi Xi said, "My lord was able to sneak into the Holy Mountain undetected, fight a fierce battle all night on the perilous Yinling Day, and fight the Frost Dragon all by himself."

Wang Mu couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this, thinking to himself that this kid was quite clever. "How about I speak to the Phoenix Princess and have your sins forgiven?"

"My lord, that's definitely not going to work. My offenses have already reached the Pope's ears, and several elders are interfering. Plus, I've offended too many people in the sect. Even with Princess Phoenix's help, I doubt she can protect me." After saying this, Qi Xi put on an extremely pitiful expression.

"My lord, you are joking. Your identity must be extraordinary."

After hearing this, Wang Mu couldn't help but take a closer look at Qi Xi. He realized that this kid was truly a talent. He vaguely sensed that this person's fighting spirit was not low. At such a young age, coupled with his intelligence, it was no wonder that he was not well-liked in the sect. Sometimes being too smart is not a good thing.

Thinking of his eldest apprentice, Reibu, he realized that Reibu wasn't stupid, but he was a bit rigid. Fortunately, his second apprentice, Belin, was clever and obedient. However, Belin was a girl. With that in mind, he decided to take her on as his apprentice.

Having made up his mind, he said, "I will not accept students."

Qi Xi was very disappointed after hearing this, and then Wang Mu said, "Because I only accept apprentices."

Qi Xi was taken aback, not knowing the difference between an apprentice and a student, and asked, "Sir, what is the difference between an apprentice and a student?"

Wang Mu said, "The biggest difference is that once you enter my sect, you will be my disciple for life, and you will prioritize the honor of the sect above all else."

Qixi was a clever man. After hearing the explanation, he immediately understood and knelt down to bow, saying, "Greetings, Master."

Seeing that the other party agreed without much thought, Wang Mu smiled and said, "Alright, since you've become my disciple, then you're my apprentice. The one who enters first is the elder brother. You already have an elder brother and a second elder sister before you."

Qixi was taken aback again, then quickly replied, "Yes, Master."

Wang Mu stopped smiling, put on a stern face, and adopted the authority of a master, "Now that you've entered the sect, you must get rid of your old bad habits and stop trying to be clever."

Qi Xi looked up and saw his master's gaze piercing straight into his heart. He couldn't help but fall silent, thinking to himself that this young master was indeed formidable.
