Mu Chen's heart seemed to have stopped beating, the pampered him never felt this brush with death before.
After standing in shock for three seconds, he then noticed the small jade pendant hanging on his waist glittering with a green light.

Protective Magical Artifact.
It was a rite of passage gift from Mu Family's patriarch and the second elder to each of their two sons.
On the other side, Mu Can made an unsuccessful strike and instantaneously drew back, pulling Qingyi with him a few meters back, watching the two in front of them vigilantly.
The sudden change also made Mu Xing, who was nearby, stand rooted to the spot.
He couldn't believe that Mu Can had just dared to make the first move against them.
And the attack was aimed to be lethal.
Even though Mu Can was only at the Martial Master Level, if there hadn't been a Protective Magic Treasure, even Mu Chen, with the strength of a Great Martial Master, would have been a corpse.
"You mongrel, how dare you attempt to kill your own kin within the family?"
Mu Xing found himself feeling a tinge of fear when facing Mu Can.
He wanted to use his loud rebuke to bring back his courage.
So, he shouted loudly, merely trying to muster courage through this hysterical act.
"Kin? Haha, have you ever treated me as one of your own?" Mu Can said with a laugh, his tone carrying a bit of desolation.
There was a time, as the pride of Mu Family, Mu Can felt a strong sense of belonging to this family.
But after his cultivation significantly decreased, Mu Can, who had lost the halo of a genius, had been through much coldness in these past three years.
The behaviors of the Mu Family had long since made him lose confidence in them.
"You are doomed," Mu Chen murmured anxiously.
Growing up in such a family, Mu Chen's mental fortitude was surely not inferior to anyone.
Since Mu Can's strongest attack just now did not harm him, he knew he was invincible with the Protective Magical Artifact.
"Qingyi, you go first," Mu Can knew today's affair couldn't end well, his strike against his kin was akin to giving a reason for the patriarch to move against him.
Mu Can knew that in these three years, the patriarch had been waiting for a chance, a chance for him to make a mistake, and today's action provided a perfect reason.
In the Mu Family, attacking one's kin is a capital offense. Yet, Mu Can was intolerable towards them, especially today as they insulted Qingyi, not taking action would make him despise himself.
"I don't want to leave," Qingyi said shaking her head. Qingyi wasn't foolish; she knew what Mu Can was about to face.
If she left now, then Mu Can would truly be left without any support.
"Go, silly woman, I'll be alright," Mu Can turned and shouted loudly at Qingyi.
He himself didn't know how things would unfold next.
"Still want to run? None of you can leave today. Mu Can, you waste, I will definitely kill you today."
Mu Chen, who had just had a brush with death, was now completely crazed, shouting like a madman.
His face, not handsome to begin with, was distorted and filled with immense hatred.
Mu Can didn't respond but reached into his chest to take out a finely made small porcelain bottle.
As one renowned to be the best freshman at the Immortal Ancient Academy.
Even now, having lost much of his cultivation and returned to the family dimly, how could he not have a trump card?
As he took out the porcelain bottle, Mu Can found his hand gently grabbed by Qingyi.
Qingyi looked at Mu Can and shook her head, signaling him not to act rashly.
"Since it's you who have gone too far, don't blame me for making a move." Qingyi changed from her previous pitiful appearance.
Her eyebrows raised, she said coldly to Mu Chen.
"Heh, what can you do even if you make a move?" Depending on his Protective Magical Artifact, Mu Chen's confidence had inflated to a certain degree.
"Qingyi, wait for me to propose and have you marry me, I will make you ecstatic every day." Mu Chen squinted his eyes, sizing up Qingyi.
Now that they had completely torn face, Mu Chen became even more unbridled.
Mu Can's hand, holding the porcelain bottle, suddenly tightened, and he was about to open the bottle when he found that Qingyi had already made her move ahead of him.
With Mu Can's once Martial Sect Realm strength, he hadn't even noticed how Qingyi had moved when he saw that Mu Chen, who had been clamoring just now, had been sent flying by Qingyi with a palm strike.
Like a ball being thrown out, he drew a beautiful curve in the air, then heavily crashed to the ground.
"Serve your mouth right." Having succeeded in one strike, Qingyi gently patted her hands and pouted.
Mu Chen felt as if all the bones in his body were about to break, lying there groaning, unable to get up.
"How strong is this woman to actually hurt me even with my Protective Magical Artifact?" Mu Chen realized that coming to find trouble with Mu Can today might have been a very unwise decision. The strength of these two was beyond his expectations.
"Let's leave first, you guys wait here for me, Mu Can, you're dead." Mu Chen shouted to Mu Xing, even while lying on the ground he didn't forget to threaten Mu Can.
Mu Xing helped Mu Chen away from Zimu Cliff in three steps, turning back every few steps, although they left, the cold expressions of the two showed that this matter was definitely not over just like that.
Mu Can looked at Qingyi beside him, as if meeting the girl who had been with him for nearly three years for the first time.
In three years, Qingyi's appearance had become increasingly beautiful.
Her waist-length hair draped loosely behind her, a pair of eyes like limpid pools, a small and cute nose.
This girl, who had been with him for three years, was like a sprite in Mu Can's life.
In many moments when Mu Can wanted to give up, she silently encouraged him.
"Qingyi, hurry and leave. The people backing them are about to make their move." Mu Can thought and then spoke.
The two Mu Chen and Mu Xing definitely wouldn't let things go just like that, judging from their behavior just now.
If there were no support from their elders behind the two, they would never have dared to boldly find trouble with Mu Can today.
"Can't hold back any longer, huh? Do you really have to fight among family?" Thinking of this, Mu Can felt a deep sadness.
Ever since Mu Can's father left the Mu Family to go to Jue Ming Valley to find medicine for Mu Can, similar probes had never stopped, but this time, it was clearly different from the usual.
"Big brother Mu Can, I won't leave." Qingyi pouted and muttered.
"This is our Mu Family's matter, you, an outsider, should not get involved." Mu Can deliberately put on a stern face.
If Mu Can wasn't mistaken, the elders of the Mu Family should appear soon; although Qingyi intervened for his sake, he could not put Qingyi in danger.
"I don't care, if they dare to trouble big brother Mu Can, I will intervene." Qingyi said angrily, and as she spoke, a layer of mist appeared in her big eyes.
Mu Can took two steps to reach Qingyi quickly, gently grabbed her soft, boneless hands, and looked into her tear-filled eyes.
"Listen to me, they are targeting me. My father hasn't returned for three months; some people are already eager to push our branch out of the Mu Family. I'm telling you to leave now, so if there is really a problem later, I can just run away." Mu Can spoke while staring at Qingyi.
Seeing Mu Can staring at her, Qingyi's cheeks seemed to flush with redness as if she hadn't heard Mu Can's words at all.
"Are you leaving or not?" Seeing Qingyi was daydreaming and acting lovesick, Mu Can couldn't help but feel both amused and angry.
Yet, he also felt moved inside, wondering what good deeds he had done to deserve such treatment from the person in front of him.
"I won't leave. If big brother Mu Can doesn't leave, I won't leave either. If they dare to target you, I'm not vegetarian either." Qingyi said firmly; she wasn't foolish, she knew Mu Can was deceiving her, and with his current strength, he didn't even have a slight chance of escape.
Thus, she was very firm in stating that she absolutely would not leave Mu Can.
