Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Xie Chenkun's tense expression relaxed slightly. He then glanced coldly at the members of the Blood Sword Sect and spoke to Mu Jinyu in a gentle tone:
"Since that's the case, you should return to continue your cultivation. There are still twenty days left, so don't waste it. However, this time, I will stay behind to protect you, ensuring your safety."
What he meant by safety wasn't just preventing mishaps during cultivation, such as falling into demon-like states, but also that with his presence, the people of the Blood Sword Sect wouldn't dare act recklessly again.
Mu Jinyu heard this, smiled slightly, and shook his head slowly, saying: "No need, Sect Leader. I've just broken through to the Fanxu Realm and need some time to stabilize my realm. I should rest and relax for a while. Continuing to cultivate non-stop would be more harmful than beneficial."
