Dragon King Hall's Legend-Chapter 1687: Encountering People from Dongyue Mansion! The Ones Who Unearthed the Ruins!

"Alas..."

Seeing the situation, Mu Jinyu sighed inwardly, knowing it was unavoidable, and signaled Chen Heyuan to go over with him.

Chen Heyuan was naturally thrilled and hastily followed Mu Jinyu, heading towards the crowd from Dongyue Mansion.

After all, although Mu Jinyu didn't kill him and used him like a steed to get to Cangyan State, he always feared Mu Jinyu might dispense with him once his purpose was served.

But now, since the mentors and others from Dongyue Mansion were present, he no longer needed to worry about Mu Jinyu killing him afterward.

His life was truly safeguarded now.

"Chen Heyuan, you're here too!"

As Mu Jinyu and Chen Heyuan approached, the dozen or so Dongyue Mansion students seemed to recognize Chen Heyuan and greeted him or nodded slightly.

Then they turned to Mu Jinyu, a hint of perplexity flashing in their eyes.

They couldn't recall when Dongyue Mansion had a student with Divine Transformation Realm Cultivation.

Yet, why was Mu Jinyu dressed in the official student attire of Dongyue Mansion?

Could it be that he's related to Chen Heyuan, so Chen Heyuan lent him his spare clothes?

But Chen Heyuan shouldn't be unaware that this academy attire isn't casually given to others?

"Who are you? A newly joined student of Dongyue Mansion?"

A solemn-looking man, appearing to be around forty years old, asked Mu Jinyu.

He vaguely recalled hearing about a new student in this batch who had Divine Transformation Realm Cultivation, took first place, and earned one hundred academic credits.

Could it be this guy in front of him?

"Yes, it's me."

Mu Jinyu nodded slightly, knowing his cultivation might be hard for them to accept, so he handed his identity plaque to the mentor.

The stern-faced mentor reached out and took Mu Jinyu's identity plaque, checked it, and found it was indeed correct, and truly Mu Jinyu's. His tense expression relaxed.

He began to criticize: "You barely have Divine Transformation Realm Cultivation, not staying in the academy for cultivation, what are you doing out here?"

"Even being out is one thing, but coming to such a dangerous place, do you really think you can compete with cultivators of the Unity Realm Stage and believe yourself invincible?"

"Do you know, even after the relic appeared, Void Breaking Realm cultivators aren't worth mentioning here?"

"Even Life and Death Realm folks can barely manage some self-defense!"

"You, a little Divine Transformation Realm fellow coming here, are truly courting death, do you know?"

The mentor reprimanded with some frustration.

Mu Jinyu, helpless, dared not retort and quietly listened to his criticism and rebuke.

Seeing Mu Jinyu being reprimanded, Chen Heyuan's eyes gleamed with amusement, relishing the scene, feeling inexplicably delighted!

The other students, unaware of Mu Jinyu's circumstances, watched silently with amused gazes, not speaking up for him.

Just as Chen Heyuan watched gleefully, suddenly the mentor turned his ire towards him, scolding: "And you, Chen Heyuan, I remember Mu Jinyu came over with you, right? With his cultivation, it was impossible for him to come to Cangyan State immediately after practical training, you must have brought him, right?"

"Has a donkey kicked your head? Coming here alone is one thing, but why bring him along?"

"No matter how close you are, you can't do this!"

"..."

Listening to the mentor's furious rebuke, Chen Heyuan felt very speechless and helpless.

Where would he want to bring Mu Jinyu here?

He was forced by Mu Jinyu.

If possible, he'd have killed Mu Jinyu, taken the Heavenly Mysterious Ice Spirit Marrow from him, then cultivated to enhance his own bloodline power.

He wouldn't want to join this excitement.

But there's no choice, without bringing Mu Jinyu here, he'd have to die!

Though dangerous here, there's still a chance to survive, and even if he dies later, dying later is better than dying sooner, right?

The mentor didn't know Chen Heyuan's inner rants. After berating him for a while, he coldly said to Chen Heyuan: "Enough, now quickly take him away, go directly back to Donghua Province, don't stir up trouble here."

Mu Jinyu didn't want to go back, thought a bit, and promptly asked: "Mentor, it's not urgent now, there's no immediate danger anyway. By the way, since the news spread for so long, why hasn't the Human Emperor relic opened?"

Hearing Mu Jinyu's question, the mentor thought for a moment, agreeing it was indeed not urgent, there were still days until the Human Emperor relic opened, so he didn't mind explaining. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

He sighed and said: "Of course it can't be opened, this supposed Human Emperor relic - even if the forbidden formation is severely damaged, it's not something ordinary people can enter easily. However, due to the severe damage, it weakens to the extreme on the 15th of each month, and that's when we can enter!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Jinyu calculated, today was the 13th, two days away from the 15th.

He thought he came at the right time!

"Mentor, how do you know? How was this discovered?"

Chen Heyuan heard the mentor's words, curious, and asked.

The mentor glanced at him and said blandly: "Because the excavation of this relic was discovered by me, I've been excavating this place for half a year, naturally I know the specifics!"

"Last month, I discovered it might be a Human Emperor relic, or perhaps a Human King relic. Anyway, this relic is remarkable. I originally intended to go back to notify the Dongyue Mansion people to jointly excavate it, but unfortunately, I don't know how the news leaked!"

"In the end, it led to hordes from various major powers rushing here!"

"Then, after informing the academy higher-ups, they deliberated repeatedly and still decided to abandon it."

"To relinquish the excavation of this relic!"

Toward the end, the mentor's tone was full of unwillingness and grievance.

"Why?"

Listening at the end, Mu Jinyu also felt displeased and uncomfortable, quickly asking the reason.

The mentor glanced at him, sighed, and explained: "Because if it's really a Human Emperor relic, the matter will inevitably escalate. By then, all kings from the powerful races in the Canglan Realm will be coming, and we can't possibly keep the relic!"

"And if it's a Human King's relic, while it won't cause such a big stir, diverse forces will still send formidable beings to compete!"

"In short, once the news leaked, whether it's a relic of any level for the Human Race, it's tough for us to retain it without incurring heavy losses, and it's challenging to gain benefits from it, hence the academy higher-ups eventually decided to give up!"

"Yet, this relic is something I painstakingly excavated, I don't want to just give it up, so though Dongyue Mansion hasn't sent many over to help, I've stayed here all along."

The mentor's tone was filled with helplessness and resentment.

Yet, there was no hatred.

Apparently, he still understood the Dongyue Mansion higher-ups' decision well.

"Is that so?"

Hearing this, Mu Jinyu nodded lightly, then looked at the other senior students watching with amused eyes, and asked: "Since the academy doesn't support it, why did these seniors come as well? Why doesn't the mentor drive them away too?"
