Mu Gui and Liu Yuan both shuddered simultaneously.
This Lin Wudi is indeed as domineering as the legends say, with a terrifying propensity for killing.
However, neither dared to question Lin Wudi's decision.
Almost without the slightest hesitation, both acted.
Great Sword Light Technique!
The two of them, two sword beams shot forward.
"Scum! Dare to move against us..."
That squad of Peak of Integration experts, upon seeing Mu Gui and Liu Yuan dare to make a move against them, were all furious.
As part of the Nanyuan King's patrol team, they held such esteemed status.
In this city, who wouldn't give them due respect?
Now, these newcomers dared to think of striking them, simply courting death!
The team of ten was also enraged, all striking back in unison!
Multi-colored Dao Arts glows shot towards the two sword beams.
Pop pop pop!
A series of sounds rang out.
Their Dao Arts were instantaneously shattered!
Facing the Great Sword Light Technique, the Dao Arts they performed were utterly defenseless.
"Not good!"
The team then realized things were amiss, too late to defend themselves.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Two sword beams sliced through the bodies of the ten.
Ten bodies were instantly obliterated by the terrifying sword beams.
"You..."
The captain, hanging on his last breath, wanted to say something but ultimately couldn't utter it, turning to ashes.
Bam!
Bam!
Bam!
A string of door-closing sounds echoed through the street.
All the buildings within several hundred meters slammed their doors shut, as if avoiding a plague.
Yet Mu Gui and Liu Yuan hadn't reacted at all.
"Are we... this strong now?"
The two exchanged glances, a bit incredulous.
They were originally of average aptitude; otherwise, they wouldn't be stuck, unable to transcend tribulation, running out of lifespan at Integration.
Thus, they still ranked their strength at ordinary Integration.
When using the Great Sword Light Technique to tackle Ghost Charms, they were a sorry sight.
Even needing two to three Dao Arts to kill a Ghost Charm.
If not for Lin Wudi destroying the Ghost Specter core, Liu Yuan would have been killed by a Ghost Charm.
Facing the same realm of Peak of Integration, they realized how terrifyingly their strength had increased.
Ten practitioners of the same realm couldn't even withstand a single move from them.
Killed in an instant!
Such an increase left them dumbfounded.
"Let's go!"
Lin Mu had anticipated this, not thinking much, and walked forward casually.
Mu Gui and Liu Yuan, ecstatic, followed Lin Wudi step by step.
At this point, their admiration for Lin Wudi had exceeded all bounds.
With just a casual pointer, allowing them such progress, had they met Lin Wudi earlier, they might have easily transcended the Heavenly Tribulation!
The three of them moved forward, gradually hearing the noisy sounds from ahead.
A market.
Even Peak of Integration practitioners still needed to trade goods.
The market is a place cultivators, regardless of their realm, will visit.
This city's market wasn't large, with only a few hundred people.
These people seemed quite irritable, loudly brawling, lacking any demeanor of Peak of Integration experts.
Mu Gui and Liu Yuan found nothing strange.
Trapped in the Forbidden Sand Sea for so long, it's odd if they aren't irritable.
"Hmm? There's actually Sand Sea Crystal transactions here!"
Liu Yuan looked at the market with marvel.
Sand Sea Crystal, such a thing, ought to be extremely rare.
After all, surviving to bring Sand Sea Crystal out of the Forbidden Sand Sea is extremely rare.
Yet in this market, Sand Sea Crystals seemed to be used as a currency for various exchanges.
With Liu Yuan's Peak of Integration Divine Sense, they clearly observed that within these few words, hundreds of Sand Sea Crystals had been exchanged.
"What's going on?"
"You ask me, whom should I ask?"
Mu Gui and Liu Yuan were both bewildered.
Just then, someone spotted their trio, immediately brightened.
"The three of you must have just entered the Forbidden Sand Sea."
An old man with white hair and beard approached.
In reality, those entering the Forbidden Sand Sea seeking opportunity are mostly near lifespan limits, looking like elders.
Hundreds of people in the market were all elders, differing only by the amount of white hair.
Mu Gui and Liu Yuan dared not speak, instinctively looked at Lin Mu.
Lin Mu glanced at the old man, still silent.
The old man, seemingly sociable, chuckled, "I'm Liufeng, you may also call me Daoist Liu!"
No need for the trio to respond, he continued, "The three of you must have killed the Nanyuan King's guard team to make it here, right?"
At this, Mu Gui and Liu Yuan tensed up, Liu Yuan forming a Great Sword Light Technique spell with his hand.
Daoist Liu seemed to ignore Liu Yuan's move, chuckling, "I don't know how many you killed, but the rule in Nanyuan City is one life for a hundred Sand Sea Crystals! How about it, let's make a trade..."
Mu Gui and Liu Yuan were taken aback.
Unexpectedly, this person knew they killed the guard team members, and instead of avoiding it, approached them for a trade.
"How do we trade? The Space Ring won't open, can't retrieve what's inside, we have nothing else..."
Mu Gui's gaze shifted slightly, as if casually commenting.
He suddenly recalled getting robbed of his Space Ring upon entering the First Stone Gate World.
Daoist Liu laughed heartily, "It's no secret, once you've been here long, you'll know. The Space Ring can be opened!"
Mu Gui realized why people wanted to rob Space Rings.
Daoist Liu smiled and said, "You've killed members of the guard team, then within half incense time, a Tribulation Transcender will lead a siege against you. Let's make a trade: hand over one Space Ring, and I'll redeem you. How about it..."
"Do you have a thousand Sand Sea Crystals?"
Liu Yuan bluntly asked.
He guarded Tianfang Crossing for many years, those returning alive could only take hundreds of Sand Sea Crystals.
Daoist Liu spoke with such boldness.
"A thousand Sand Sea Crystals!?"
"You wiped out the guard team?"
"This time, tough cookies came in!"
Surrounding people were stirred, casting astonished glances at Lin Mu and the trio.
These Peak of Integration experts had similar strengths.
Lucky enough to kill one or two was often the limit.
Mu Gui and Liu Yuan killing ten quickly drew an uproar.
"Uh... deal's off, I don't have that many Sand Sea Crystals..."
Daoist Liu's expression turned awkward as he left without a word.
The other nearby people similarly avoided them.
Exactly like the reactions of the Peak of Integration experts when seeing Mu Gui's team wipe out the guard team members.
"What's going on?"
Mu Gui and Liu Yuan were puzzled.
Then, Lin Mu spoke indifferently, "Give you two options: follow me, fighting our way to the pinnacle of this Stone Gate World, unraveling this world's mystery, or follow this world's rules, work things out gradually."
Mu Gui and Liu Yuan were slightly taken aback at his words.
"World Master, let's first work things out gradually..."
Mu Gui swallowed.
If they charged directly to the world's pinnacle, Lin Wudi would surely be fine.
But for the two of them, it was debatable.
