How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

Zhu Jiutong's shout startled the two who were about to unleash their power, causing them to pause for a moment and look at Zhu Jiutong together.

Zhu Jiutong then stood still, took a deep breath, and tried to persuade the two of them.

"Why fight to the death? This Demon Spirit Battlefield is full of treasures and dangers. You two would be better off focusing your energy elsewhere than fighting each other like this."

Li Muyun's aura froze in mid-air. Since it was Zhu Jiutong who spoke, he naturally had to give him face and was about to stop.

Zhang Tianyu, on the other side, had now transformed into a blazing sun, using the Nine Yang Sect's secret technique, the Sun-Wheeling Method—to cleanse and refine his entire body of flesh and blood, turning it into nourishment for the blazing sun. He also activated the Great Sun Divine Mirror, exponentially amplifying the power of the Sun-Wheeling Method.

Having reached this level of power, Zhang Tianyu was already bloodthirsty, his heart burning like a boiling fire.

Li Muyun first bullied him, a disciple of the Nine Yang Sect, then humiliated him, and even destroyed his physical body. How could he let it go so easily?

"Zhu Jiutong! Get out of the way. I can give you face for other things, but you can't protect Li Muyun today!"

The intense heat of the sun surged once more, rushing towards the sky. The incomparably powerful sun transformed into numerous forms, spreading across the horizon. The blazing, fiery light of the sun was so intense that it seemed capable of melting everything.

"This Li Muyun forcibly drove us away, trying to seize our treasures for himself. You are supposed to be the Ninth Prince of the Sun Moon Empire, yet you collude with outsiders to suppress the development of the Sun Moon Empire's sects!"

Under the influence of the scorching sun, Zhang Tianyu was consumed by rage and lost his mind.

Not only did they go against Zhu Jiutong's wishes, but they also cursed Zhu Jiutong and denounced his traitorous behavior.

Zhu Jiutong, who had just lost face because of Zhang Tianyu, couldn't stand it anymore, and a cold and fierce aura gradually rose in his heart.

These three major sects have truly become increasingly arrogant. Zhang Tianyu hasn't achieved much yet, but he dares to challenge him.

He is, after all, the crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire. With Zhang Tianyu acting so perversely, where is the dignity of our royal family?

Zhu Jiutong's face suddenly turned ashen, and he pointed at the blazing red sun and began to curse.

"Zhang Tianyu, I'll give you some face! Do you really think you're invincible? You arrogant fool, how come you couldn't even qualify for the Divine Continent Spring Examination? To put it bluntly, you're just a piece of trash!"

"You... Zhu Jiutong!"

Upon hearing this, the distant crimson sun became even hotter and more intense, clearly having been hit where it hurt by Zhu Jiutong's words!

He was able to participate in the Shenzhou Spring Trial Competition, but due to a careless move, he was ambushed and eliminated early.

After this defeat, Zhang Tianyu regarded it as a great humiliation and became increasingly irritable. Whenever he heard about the Imperial Examination, he would be filled with rage and hatred, and he showed no kindness whatsoever to the leader, Zhu Jiutong.

Now, hearing Zhu Jiutong use this matter to pierce his heart, he was instantly overcome with a feverish heat, and the temperature of the scorching sun rose steadily.

"What? Did I say something wrong? You piece of trash, you're facing Li Muyun, the number one scholar in the Imperial Examination of China. Do you feel the difference now?"

Zhu Jiutong had long harbored resentment, previously due to his fear of the crown prince and the struggle for the throne.

He tried his best to win over the other talented young men, and they mostly responded with polite words. Only Zhang Tianyu really regarded himself as someone important, arrogant and haughty.

He'd disliked him for a long time!

"Aaaaaah...I'll kill you!"

Enraged and humiliated, Zhang Tianyu felt a surge of resentment rising within him, and the heat of the crimson sun intensified, threatening to burst forth.

"Kill me! Let's see if you have the ability. My fine head is right here. If you can kill me, you can take it!"

Zhu Jiutong exhaled a breath of immortal energy, which transformed into boundless copper coin light that scattered and wove around him in circles. The huge phantom of the ingot behind him suddenly condensed, and his energy and battle power surged into the sky.

He originally wanted to mediate the conflict between the two and encourage them to put peace and put aside their hostility, but Li Muyun, whom he was most worried about, withdrew instead.

Zhang Tianyu, however, was ungrateful and not only refused him but also humiliated him!

If a fight really broke out, he believed that Zhang Tianyu's chances of winning were no more than 10%. He tried to mediate the fight to save Zhang Tianyu's face, but Zhang Tianyu bit him instead.

Even with his good temper, he could no longer tolerate it and had to personally join the fight.

Li Muyun calmly watched the two arguing and bickering, then glanced at Nightingale and Xuan Yue in the distance, shook his head, and said.

"Brother Zhu, you don't need to come. And you, you may leave as well..."

Nightingale, who had knocked Xuan Yue back with a punch in the distance, was taken aback upon hearing this, and a look of embarrassment and annoyance flashed across her face.

"My name is Nightingale!"

Li Muyun stood with his hands behind his back, looking relaxed and carefree, and glanced at everyone.

"Everyone step back, I can manage on my own."

Zhu Jiutong's true essence roared, the phantom of the ingot rose, and his aura condensed and swirled behind him. He had just finished gathering his strength and was about to join the battle when he heard Li Muyun's words and was immediately stunned.

“Brother Li, do not be arrogant. Although Zhang Tianyu is not strong, he uses the Nine Yang Sect’s Sun Wheel Immortal Technique. He consumes all his blood and energy to double his combat power. With the support of that secret treasure, his combat power should not be underestimated.”

Zhu Jiutong's expression hardened, and he quickly spoke up to dissuade him.

Although he looked down on Zhang Tianyu and knew how powerful Li Muyun was, he still had to be cautious since the other side was using all their trump cards and was even willing to sacrifice themselves.

Li Muyun chuckled lightly, his expression calm and his attitude firm, and shook his head again.

"It's alright, Brother Zhu, you just need to trust me."

"Can……"

Zhu Jiutong wanted to say something more, but seeing Li Muyun's resolute attitude, he didn't dare to say anything more. He immediately suppressed his aura and stepped aside.

Li Muyun looked up at the nightingale in the distance. The nightingale pointed to the crescent moon in front of her, and then to herself. Li Muyun nodded calmly. The nightingale sighed softly and floated to the side, but her gaze was deep as she looked at herself.

"Damn it, I've seen arrogant people before, but I've never seen anyone this arrogant. Li Muyun, is that right? Very good!"

"I'm going to roast your body piece by piece into charcoal!"

Li Muyun's casual refusal of Zhu Jiutong, and even the departure of the Nightingale, was undoubtedly a slap in the face to Zhang Tianyu, making him look even more embarrassed.

Of course, he no longer has facial features, but is just a blazing red sun. However, his anger is growing, and his temperature is getting higher and higher. He even has an impulse to explode from the high temperature if he can't burn the person in front of him to death.

Xuan Yue, with a cold gaze, strode through the sky and arrived in front of Li Muyun in a flash, uttering a mocking remark.

"Whose young master is this? He's not very bright. He's trying to be a hero, but he hasn't chosen the right time or place."

Li Muyun remained composed, his eyes cold as knives, calmly surveying the two.
