How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

The Xuanwu Demon Hunting Team's main camp.

"Father!"

Xuan Tian watched his father, Xuan Donghai, being shot away by a golden light and cried out in worry.

Today is the end of the Xuanwu Demon Hunting Group. His usually domineering father was powerless to fight back. Xuan Tian had never felt so helpless before.

They faced only two people: a young man in white robes and silver armor, and an old man in gray cloth. Now, with just a slight use of magic from the young man, and without the old man even making a move, the Xuanwu Demon Hunting Team had already been completely defeated.

In order to save everyone's lives, Xuan Donghai had no choice but to disband the demon-hunting team and send everyone away.

"You can destroy the Xuanwu Demon Hunting Group, you can kill me, but can you spare Tian'er?" Xuan Donghai coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, clearly having lost his fighting ability.

Blood trickled from the corner of Xuan Tian's mouth as he lay helplessly on the ground, gripping the soil tightly. He shouted hoarsely, "The destruction of the Savage Demon Hunting Group has nothing to do with our Xuanwu Demon Hunting Group! What do you want?"

The young man in white robes and silver armor looked at Xuan Tian with a half-smile, placing one foot on Xuan Donghai's chest. "I heard you met that kid named Li Muyun. Where is he?"

Xuan Donghai groaned in pain and said, "Tian'er, don't forget how your father taught you!"

Yang Tian sneered, "Now I'm giving you a choice: either tell me where Li Muyun is, or your father dies."

Xuan Tian's expression changed. Li Muyun was his savior, and he was not an ungrateful person. But if he didn't speak up, his father would lose his life. What should he do?

With a bored smirk, Yang Tian said nonchalantly, "Since you won't choose, I'll just choose for you. Filial piety and righteousness have always been difficult to reconcile, so be tough today and earn a reputation for swearing to protect righteousness to the death. As for that brat Li Muyun, even if you didn't say anything, I would find him and kill him!"

After saying that, Yang Tian's eyes flashed with golden light, and two golden beams shot towards Xuan Donghai like sharp swords.

"Father!"

Xuan Tian clenched his fists, tears streaming down his face. He closed his eyes, unable to bear watching his father die before his eyes.

"Crack!"

Just then, a thunderclap rang out, and a violent and scorching crimson lightning bolt struck, colliding with the golden light and exploding with a deafening roar.

Then, a figure returned like a ghost, and a golden palm print covered with crimson lightning struck out instantly.

A hint of surprise flashed in Yang Tian's eyes. He swung his palm out and the two palms collided with a muffled bang.

Ding Ding Deng!

Yang Tian stumbled back five steps before regaining his balance. A look of surprise appeared on his face as he carefully examined the newcomer.

Xuan Tian hadn't expected this sudden turn of events. When he opened his eyes, he was surprised to see that his father had been saved. He struggled to crawl toward Xuan Donghai and stared wide-eyed at the person who had saved his father.

Li Muyun, dressed in white robes that fluttered in the wind, said calmly, "You all stay here and heal your wounds. The person they're looking for is me."

Wang Yan quickly helped the Xuan family father and son up, saying, "I just happened to run into Young Master Yun on the street. Now our Xuanwu Demon Hunting Team is saved!"

Xuan Donghai took a deep breath, glanced warily at the old man who had not yet made a move, and said, "Young Master Yun, this silver-armored youth is at the peak of the Golden Core stage, and that old man is even more unfathomable. You shouldn't have come."

Li Muyun shrugged and smiled faintly, "Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it."

Yang Tian looked at Li Muyun with a smile, his eyes full of curiosity. "Well said, 'Since you're here, you might as well make the best of it.' So you're Li Muyun?"

"Absolutely genuine. If I'm not mistaken, you're from the Yang family of Guankou?"

Li Muyun narrowed his eyes as he sized up Yang Tian, ​​secretly plotting his escape. Escaping on his own wouldn't be difficult, but getting away with the Xuan family father and son was virtually impossible.

"Since you've heard of the Yang family of Guanjiangkou, how dare you touch my people? You have quite the nerve."

Yang Tian twisted his neck, his joints cracking, and a surge of powerful true energy emanated from his body, revealing his peak Golden Core cultivation level.

"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Although my Yang family is domineering, we also respect the strong. If you can defeat me today, I'll spare you. If not, then die in peace!"

Li Muyun raised the corner of his mouth, slightly moved his wrist, and chuckled, "Well done, the Yang family of Guanjiangkou. A Golden Core Peak cultivator challenging my Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator. Even so, I will accept the challenge."

With a frown, Yang Tian said coldly, "I, Yang Tian, ​​never fight unfairly. You are at the peak of Foundation Establishment, so I will fight you at the peak of Foundation Establishment. I will make you admit defeat wholeheartedly."

"Fine! If I lose, my life and death are in your hands. If I win, you must not bother us any further."

Li Muyun raised an eyebrow, secretly pleased. This Yang Tian was indeed on the right track. He looked like a martial arts fanatic young master, and with just a little provocation, he would obediently submit.

The old man in the gray robe smiled and shook his head, "Young Master..."

Yang Tian waved his hand, suppressing his cultivation level to the same peak of Foundation Establishment as Li Muyun, and confidently laughed, "It's alright, I'll just have a match with this kid. I've always challenged others beyond my level, and I've never been defeated in a battle at the same cultivation level."

The Xuan family father and son swallowed hard as they watched the tense scene unfold. This was a duel between immortals. Xuan Donghai had heard Xuan Tian talk about Li Muyun; Li Muyun was an absolute genius. However, Xuan Donghai had just personally experienced Yang Tian's abilities. He was a young powerhouse he had never encountered in all his years. Even now, suppressed to the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm, Xuan Donghai didn't believe anyone could defeat him.

The gray-robed old man smiled and nodded, saying, "In that case, this old servant will make the judgment for you. The contest shall begin now."

As soon as the gray-robed elder finished speaking, Yang Tian instantly entered battle mode. His eyes flashed with fanaticism as he rushed towards Li Muyun, forming a hand seal with one hand and shouting, "Blazing Fire - Crimson Refining!"

A blazing crimson fire serpent suddenly materialized, instantly raising the surrounding temperature. The crimson serpent, writhing in scorching flames, lunged at Li Muyun.

With a handful of talismans scattered, Li Muyun also made hand seals, and the talismans formed a talisman array in the air, emitting a blue light. "The five elements revolve, the Great Dao is constant, Ren water borrows its flow, and the water waterfall is vast!"

The surging waterfall and the scorching red embers collided, producing a piercing hissing sound, and a large amount of water vapor evaporated, creating a thick fog.

With a grin, Yang Tian slammed his palm into the ground, instantly causing the ground to crack and countless stones to rise up. "Earth - Meteor Shower!"

Countless stones were suspended high in the air, turning into stalactites that fell on Li Muyun's head. In an instant, pebbles flew everywhere and dust rose in all directions.

Li Muyun also became interested. Since both sides were using the Five Elements Techniques, they should have a good competition.

"The Five Elements revolve, the Great Dao is the spirit, Jia Wood borrows its power, and all trees are bright and clear!"

Thick wooden branches, each about the thickness of an arm, sprouted from the ground and intertwined above Li Muyun's head to form a thick vine shield, deflecting all the falling rocks. Although the explosions were deafening, they did not harm Li Muyun in the slightest.

Li Muyun waved his hand, and countless wooden branches shattered. He narrowed his eyes and changed his hand seals, "You try my immortal technique too!"
