Mu Rui

== Dealing with Infiltrators ==
As a result of a new treasure appearing at the top of the Chaotic Myriad Spirit Roll, the various tribes and races of the Spirit Realm began preparing for another hundred-tribe war. As a result the Wood Tribe setup the Heavenly Wood Dreamnet to detect powerful foreign beings entering their territory. As a spirit master of the tribe, Mu Rui was stationed overseeing various tree spirits. He was notified of invaders by one of the tree spirits under his command. 
Mu Rui investigated the situation and found a group of Deity Transformation invaders from the Deep Heaven City. He arrived in time to destroy information about newly researched Tree Ape Beasts gathered by a spy within their tribe. Before he could subdue the invaders, another person launched a surprise attack. This surprise attack used a talisman to temporarily seal his abilities. This gave the invaders a head start in fleeing the forest.
Mu Rui led several tree spirits in capturing and subduing the invaders. He personally chased after the spy who was traveling with another companion. The two happened to be relatives of the same Ye Family. The two summoned an incantation of a heavenly phoenix to attack him. He was forced to break off his pursuit after sustaining injuries against the phoenix. 
== Empty Handed Retreat ==
Unwilling to go back empty-handed, Mu Rui was thrilled when he sensed a human cultivator that had separated from the two who inflicted injuries on him. This cultivator was Han Li who had recently rejected traveling together with the two members of the Ye Family. Mu Rui confronted Han Li hoping to return to the tribe having dealt with at least one intruder. Mu Rui forced Han Li to unleash profound abilities. Mu Rui was forced to take Han Li seriously after experiencing the might of the Aureate Sword Formation. 
Mu Rui was forced to unleash his soul-link spirit tree combining his body as a tree and his spirit as one single entity. This made his body seemingly indestructible allowing him to survive the assault from the Aureate Sword Formation. However, this form also made Mu Rui immobile. Given his superior cultivation, it was only a matter of time until Han Li was defeated. However, the tables turned when Han Li unleashed Gold Devouring Beetles that managed to consume Mu Rui's body. 
Mu Rui was startled and immediately decided to escape the area. Half of his body was consumed by the beetles. He assessed the risk of continuing to pursue Han Li. Mu Rui knew that there was a risk of death should he fight Han Li. Mu Rui decided to give up pursuing Han Li.
