How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

Many prodigies stared at the scene in the sky, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

The once arrogant Crown Prince was now kneeling on one knee, his golden armor shattered, while Li Muyun stood atop the sky, looking down upon all living beings.

The outcome of this struggle is obvious.

Li Muyun actually did it! He overcame his superior and defeated the most powerful and unpredictable Crown Prince!

Before the many prodigies could even react in shock, the sky once again burst into a frenzy of light, the thick clouds dispersed, and the starlight, which had been so brilliant, materialized and transformed into countless human figures.

The leader possessed an overwhelming aura, his blood energy soaring to the heavens, and his face solemn and resolute. Standing alone in the air, his murderous and fierce power even overshadowed the many blood-red figures around him.

The newcomer was none other than Li Rentu, the Heavenly Slaughter Marquis. Beside him were many blood-red, ugly, and hateful evil figures, all of whom were powerful figures from the Yangshen Palace. The hooded ghost who clashed with Master Xuanzang was also among them.

Although there were more or less speculations, when Li Rentu actually appeared with them, the sky still fell for many of these geniuses.

The powerful leader of this competition was actually someone who colluded with the enemy camp!

So what were all these trials along the way? They were nothing more than a deadly predicament.

Many prodigies who witnessed this moment felt utterly devastated. All the hardships and struggles they had endured along the way vanished in an instant.

In the end, they couldn't escape the fate of being slaughtered.

As Li Muyun in the air dispelled the illusion of the great formation and emerged from his divine state, he saw the scene before him: Li Rentu colluding with the Yangshen Temple.

Ignoring his physical and mental exhaustion, anger surged up in his heart again.

This is the man who claimed to love her and that he eliminated her for the sake of the Tang Dynasty. He colluded with the Yangshen Temple to murder the prodigies.

Even his mother could very well have died at his hands.

She was framed as a prostitute after her death by her closest relatives in collusion with the Yangshen Temple and the Tang Dynasty.

"Young man Li, don't be impulsive. In your current state, rushing in would just be suicide. The outcome will be clear in two years..."

Noticing Li Muyun's agitated expression, Rabbit Lord spoke up repeatedly, saying that he couldn't just watch such a talented array master rush to his death.

With the completion of that Heavenly Dao Divine Array, his mantle has truly found its place.

Zhuge Danqing and Huo Polu, two of the prodigies, exchanged a glance, both seeing the complex and awkward expressions in each other's eyes.

As the son of a top family in the Tang Dynasty, it would be utterly incompetent of him to be completely unaware of the truth.

However, the current situation is far beyond their ability to intervene. Even if they wanted to, they are powerless and can only feel resentful.

Li Rentu strolled leisurely in the distance, ignoring the prodigies below, his gaze immediately locking onto Li Muyun, whose aura was waning.

Without uttering a single wasted word, he flicked his finger, unleashing the full power of the Martial Saint's aura, and a torrent of blood and weaponry surged forth like a tidal wave.

Li Muyun faced the oppressive aura of the Martial Saint, and his life hung in the balance.

Suddenly, a golden ingot descended from the sky, carrying boundless immortal power, and struck the huge blood-red halberd directly.

Boom!

The golden ingot was crystal clear and incredibly beautiful. Although it was originally a rotten and corrupt thing, it exuded a misty, ethereal light that far surpassed any earthly object. Its genuine aura of divine power caused everyone present to change their expressions.

Sitting atop the golden ingot, Zhu Jiutong rubbed his chest. Even with a celestial artifact, he couldn't withstand the casual strike from this Martial Saint.

Zhu Jiutong's sudden act of assistance caused Li Muyun, who was initially filled with anger, to suddenly feel a chill run down his spine.

"Lord Rabbit, please, sir, open this teleportation array! I really can't hold on any longer..."

After repeated battles and numerous refinements of this top-tier array, Li Muyun's sea of ​​soul had dried up and was on the verge of collapse.

The long-eared fairy's snow-white ears twitched, and she nodded in agreement.

Having spent so many years together, he was very familiar with Li Muyun's temperament.

He has always been independent and self-reliant, never taking advantage of his mother to abuse the power of others, but fighting on his own.

They will only ask for help when they are truly at their breaking point.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Long-Eared Fairy took a deep breath, casually drew a circle, and instantly a circular hole appeared in the sky.

With the help of his magical artifact, Zhu Jiutong, who was in mid-air, managed to withstand two attacks, but he was unable to withstand them. His qi became disordered, and he spat out blood. He hurriedly looked at Li Muyun and shouted.

"Brother Li, if we can't win, we must run away! Running away is the most important thing. Your array power is formidable, activate a teleportation!"

Almost simultaneously with Zhu Jiutong's roar, the Long-Eared Immortal's formation suddenly appeared, as if tearing through the void, revealing a round hole.

Without wasting words, Li Muyun immediately surged his aura and, with his last bit of strength, rushed into the round hole. Behind him, Zhu Jiutong, having once again taken a blow from the Martial Saint, coughed up blood and qi, and using the recoil, also rushed into the formation.

In an instant, the world spun around them, and everything became chaotic. While Li Muyun was still in a daze, Zhu Jiutong beside him had already dashed away and fled, leaving behind only one sentence.

"Brother Li, there's plenty of time in the future. For now, let's all save our own lives!"

After saying that, Zhu Jiutong disappeared in a flash. As a prodigy of another country, if he were to flee on his own, any pretext could be used to convict and punish him. He dared not delay for even a moment and ran away immediately.

Li Muyun looked around and found that the teleportation point was in the outskirts of the capital. He then urged his energy and rushed towards the Li residence.

Now that the two of them have managed to escape by sheer luck, it is a race against time. Once the news gets back, the entire Tang Dynasty will become their enemy!

Li Muyun dared not hesitate for a moment. Even though his true energy was exhausted, he still desperately rushed towards the Li residence.

Not long after, Li Muyun finally arrived at the Li residence. Without even knocking, he kicked the door open and, facing the bewildered Yang Tian and the big blue ox, recounted the events of the imperial examination in one breath.

"What? The Tang Dynasty is cooperating with the Yangshen Temple? The Crown Prince is going to make a big move? Li kid, are you kidding me?!"

The big blue ox stared wide-eyed, unable to process the information for a moment; it was completely revolutionary.

On the surface, the Tang Dynasty and the Yangshen Temple were not exactly at odds, but they were irreconcilable enemies.

How did they end up joining forces?

"No time for nonsense, Brother Yang. We can't stay in the capital any longer. Take Xiao Rou and hurry back to Guanjiangkou. They shouldn't dare to touch you there yet."

Li Muyun's expression was serious, and he spoke without the slightest hesitation.

"Alright, considering how dire the situation is, this divine bull will reluctantly follow you..."

Li Muyun thought for a moment and then quickly asked.

"By the way, have you seen those two monks?"

Both the man and the ox shook their heads, replying with confusion.

"Weren't those two going to participate in the imperial examinations?"

Upon hearing this, Li Muyun's gloom and doubt deepened even further. He had not seen those two monks at all during the imperial examination!
