Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 496

Chapter 496: Chapter 140: Outlanders, Are You Looking for Trouble?

While galloping on horseback, Zhu Ling turned to You He and asked, "Your little lord actually got married?"

This incident from the past, You He wasn’t sure how to explain to Zhu Ling, so she just nodded.

Zhu Ling, surprised, said to herself, "What kind of woman could enter Mu Shidi’s heart?" However, realizing that the woman was no longer around, she felt a bit sad for Mu Qingge.

Now, with his beloved wife’s grave facing the danger of being excavated, it was no wonder Mu Shidi was so furious.

"Has Mu Shidi already gone to Luodu?" Zhu Ling asked again.

You He nodded, "The little lord has already taken people there. Our group needs to rush to stop Princess Yonghuan’s tomb from being dug up. After handling it, we must hurry to Luodu to join the little lord."

Zhu Ling gritted her teeth and nodded, "Although my cultivation level is not high, there are plenty of elixirs, so you don’t have to worry about getting hurt."

You He smiled at her, not explaining further.

In reality, after the little lord transformed their bodies, they wouldn’t get injured easily.

Thinking back to before departing, the little lord suddenly took out a huge pile of items, which was truly exhilarating!

...

Qin Yilian’s tomb was a place determined personally by Mu Qingge.

The environment was tranquil and not easily discovered. Originally, few people knew about it, so Qin Jinyang couldn’t find it easily.

When You He and Hua Yue arrived, with two groups of Dragon Tooth Guards along with Zhu Ling, they saw the fierce battle on the outskirts. Among them, one group wore the attire of the Imperial Palace Guard, while the other group was clad in black outfits.

You He glanced around and immediately ordered the Dragon Tooth Guards, "Kill those Imperial Army soldiers!"

The Dragon Tooth Guards did not hesitate and joined the battle, attacking the Palace Guard soldiers alongside the black-clad group.

These hundred or so Palace Guard soldiers were already overwhelmed by the vicious attacks of the black-clad fighters, and now the sudden inclusion of the Dragon Tooth Guards made them feel hopeless.

"Stop... stop fighting! I surrender..." someone from the Palace Guard shouted in fear.

The leader of the black-clad group hesitated for a moment, but the Dragon Tooth Guards swiftly beheaded the man.

Blood splattered, awakening the remaining stupefied soldiers.

In less than half an incense stick’s worth of time, the hundred Palace Guards were all killed on the spot.

After completing the task, the Dragon Tooth Guards stood still, looking coldly at the group of black-clad individuals.

At this moment, the leader came forward, addressing the Dragon Tooth Guards, "Are you people of the Lord Mu?"

The Dragon Tooth Guards made no reply, but You He stepped forward, evaluating them, and asked, "Are you people of the Regent King?"

Indeed, the identities were not difficult to discern. Now, in Luodu, those who knew the location of Princess Yonghuan’s tomb and were protecting it like this were none other than Qin Jinchen and Mu Qingge.

Though neither side spoke aloud, their meanings were clear.

You He looked at the bodies of the Palace Guard soldiers and said to Qin Jinchen’s people, "Since you are here, the task of guarding Princess Yonghuan’s tomb is left to you. We must hurry back to Luodu."

The leader’s eyes gleamed with excitement, asking, "Is the little lord coming back?"

You He gave him a glance, not answering.

The man did not press further, but pleaded, "This place is entrusted to us. You can hurry back to Luodu with peace of mind. If anyone else comes to disturb Princess Yonghuan’s peace, they’ll have to step over our corpses. But please convey a message to the little lord from us: our master is innocent and, even when imprisoned in the Forbidden Palace, is concerned for the Mu Mansion’s safety. When the little lord makes his move, we humbly ask him to rescue our master as well. We would be immensely grateful!"

With that, the group knelt before You He and the others.

You He’s eyes flashed, and she spoke calmly, "I will deliver your message."

Amid the grateful gazes of the group, You He led her people away.

On the way to Luodu, Zhu Ling chuckled bitterly, "It seems my role as a Pill Master is quite useless before you." The recent battle let her witness the ferocity of the Dragon Tooth Guards once more.

In such a battle, they really weren’t injured at all.

You He glanced at her, "Why belittle yourself, Miss Zhu?"

Zhu Ling smiled faintly, without saying more.

You He continued, "The little lord instructed us to settle Miss Zhu first and then head to Luodu."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ling immediately shook her head, "Don’t delay for me, just go directly to Luodu." After saying that, she thought for a moment and added, "I won’t be a burden to you, nor do you need to worry about my safety. I can protect myself."

"This..." You He frowned, somewhat hesitant.

She exchanged a glance with Hua Yue, and they made a mutual decision.

She looked at Zhu Ling and nodded, "Alright. Time is indeed pressing and cannot be delayed. Since Miss Zhu insists, then join us. However, upon reaching Luodu, it would be best for Miss Zhu to separate from us to avoid getting involved."

Zhu Ling slightly nodded in agreement to her suggestion.

The group quickly approached Luodu.

In Luodu, beneath the Imperial City, a tense scene was unfolding.

"Mu Qingge, the time has come. If you do not appear, I will order the execution!" Qin Jinyang’s voice resonated in the sky above the Imperial City.

Among the people forbidden to leave, there were sounds of subdued sobbing.

The weapons in the hands of the Imperial Army and City Defense Army were already brandished. Their expressions were complex, internally rejecting pointing weapons at their own citizens, yet they had no choice but to follow the imperial order.

Qin Jinyang’s voice had dissipated into the air.

However, Mu Qingge was still nowhere to be seen.

Qin Jinyang’s gaze searched around, and upon not seeing the person who was supposed to appear, his features, due to madness and excitement, twisted hideously, "Mu Qingge, you cowardly mouse! How dare you claim to be a hero of Qin Country!"

Qin Jinyang’s somewhat deranged words made Qin Jinchen close his eyes.

Beneath the city, countless citizens, along with the Mu Family and Shao Family members on the execution platform, looked at him with eyes filled with anger.

"You dog emperor! If you want to kill, then kill! Why so much nonsense? How dare you slander our leader? I spit on you! Let me tell you, even as an emperor, it was our leader’s will to allow you to take this throne. Otherwise, could your selfish, ungrateful Qin Family members have occupied this position?" Shao Fatty couldn’t bear it anymore, shouting at the city tower with a flushed face and neck.

Qin Jinyang’s eyes turned cold as he looked at him sinisterly.

The once sunny face was now full of gloom and hatred. He sneered, "Fine, today I will scrape off every layer of your fat, piece by piece, to quench my anger!"

Having said that, he looked towards the commander of the Imperial Army and ordered, "Bring a hundred citizens forward. I will count to three, if Mu Qingge still doesn’t appear, kill them immediately."

The Imperial Army trembled, looking at him shocked, only to meet his blood-red eyes filled with madness.

"Qin Jinyang!" Qin Jinchen shouted coldly. His unique, aloof gaze seemed to reach into his soul.

Qin Jinyang turned to look at him, his voice indifferent, "Regent King, my imperial name is not yours to call."

Qin Jinchen, however, continued to look at him, asking word by word, "Are you really going to do this?"

"Why not?" Qin Jinyang’s laugh was cold and mad. He pointed at the citizens below and said bitterly, "How many among them truly regard me as their emperor? Their hearts are all with Mu Qingge of the Mu Family. What use do I have for such disloyal traitors? Killing them might also serve to show the people of Great Qin who their true ruler is!"

Qin Jinchen’s gaze remained calm, but his voice was filled with regret, "Qin Jinyang, you’ve gone mad. You’re no longer the brother I once knew."

Qin Jinyang threw back his head and laughed wildly, even to the point of tears. He pointed at himself and said to Qin Jinchen, "I am mad, driven so by all of you. Since I was made emperor, Mu Qingge should disappear entirely. One mountain cannot hold two tigers, one sky cannot exist with two suns, a country cannot have two sovereigns. Imperial Brother, don’t you understand?"

"This is nothing but your own delusion. He never intended to fight for anything. All he wanted was the Mu Family’s safety!" Qin Jinchen explained.

Qin Jinyang sneered, "Indeed. He disdains it, so he condescends to let me have it. He trades the empire of Qin for the peace of the Mu Mansion. But why?"

Qin Jinyang’s features twisted, his eyes wide as he asked, "Why must I obey him? This empire of Great Qin originally belonged to the Qin Family. Why should I accept his charity? This should all be mine by right. Why should he, a mere vassal, stand above me? I refuse!"

"Qin Jinyang, enough with the wasted time," Le Tian said impatiently.

Qin Jinyang visibly faltered, his distorted features quickly regaining composure. He coldly glanced at Qin Jinchen, then suddenly turned and said to the commander of the Imperial Army, "Did you not understand my order?"

The commander of the Imperial Army shivered and, under Qin Jinyang’s fierce gaze, reluctantly began descending the city tower.

Soon, chaos erupted among the people below the city tower. A hundred citizens were forced out by the Imperial Army and forced to kneel before the execution platform.

A row of gleaming steel blades loomed behind them.

Mu Xiong, with fury burning in his eyes, looked up at Qin Jinyang and shouted, "Your Majesty! They are your subjects!"

Qin Jinyang remained unmoved, as if savouring Mu Xiong’s humble plea. Ignoring Mu Xiong’s words, he began to count, "One."

Qin Jinchen’s gaze was piercing as he looked at Qin Jinyang, his voice severe, "Qin Jinyang, if you truly do this, your reign as emperor will end here!"

"Two." Qin Jinyang seemed not to hear Qin Jinchen’s warning.

"Qin Jinyang, don’t remain stubborn in your folly!" Qin Jinchen shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty! The citizens are innocent. Involving them like this is not the action of a wise sovereign! If you seek the lives of the Mu Family, then come for us, why make things difficult for the people?" Mu Xiong said with a heart full of anguish.

Mu Xiong’s words made the cries among the hundred civilians pushed to the execution platform even louder. On the ground, there were still traces of remaining blood. They seemed to be engulfed by fear, deeply trapped within, unable to extricate themselves.

Qin Jinyang looked at Mu Xiong, his gaze cold and mocking, "Mu Xiong, you can’t even protect yourself now, and yet you want to play the saint before your death? I refuse to let you be pleased!" This statement, said as if a rebellious youth’s immaturity, blocked Mu Xiong’s breath in his chest, neither up nor down.

Qin Jinyang’s gaze fell on the hundred civilians, ignoring the countless curses echoing in his ears. He said to them, "If you want to resent or hate, go find Mu Qingge. It is he who doesn’t have the courage to show his face, thereby endangering your lives!"

After saying this, he took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "Three—!"

The tail sound of ’three’ had yet to dissipate, and the shining steel knives in the hands of the Imperial Army were raised high, aiming at the necks of the kneeling civilians.

Among them, many frowned, unwilling to drop the steel blades. Their hearts hoped their Emperor would change his mind.

However, at this moment, from above the city tower, Qin Jinyang’s cold and cruel voice came, "Kill them—!"

The hands of the Imperial Army gripping the knife handles tightened, exchanging glances secretly, hesitating and unwilling to drop the blades.

The civilians, under the knives, shivered and wept.

Those thousands of civilians heavily surrounded by the Imperial Army tried desperately to resist but were crowded together, unable to be effective.

Qin Jinyang saw that his order was actually not being executed, and a coldness settled in his heart.

At this time, Le Tian coldly snorted behind him.

Instantly, he roared ferociously, "I ordered you to kill them, do you dare defy my order?"

"Civilians cannot be killed!" Mu Xiong shouted sternly.

The Imperial Army raised their eyes to look at Mu Xiong, with palms sweating on the knife handles.

Seeing this, Qin Jinyang was furious. The hatred in his eyes almost consumed his humanity.

Le Tian glanced at the effeminate man, and the latter understood. He slowly stood up, walked to the edge of the city wall, and looked down, coldly saying, "Reluctance to kill them means death for you instead. Choose for yourselves."

This statement made the bodies of the Imperial Army tighten again, their eyes flickering with struggle, with some of the steel blades in their hands slowly dropping a few inches.

The effeminate man looked at this scene playfully, his eyes full of disdain.

Below the city tower, the commander of the Imperial Army suddenly turned around, looked at Qin Jinyang, and shouted, "Your Majesty! They are my Qin Country’s civilians, not rebellious ministers and traitors, please reconsider!"

Qin Jinyang looked at him with hateful eyes.

Before he could speak, the effeminate man casually waved his hand, and a brilliantly purple light flew toward the commander of the Imperial Army, cutting through his neck at an astonishing speed.

The head rolled and stopped beside the execution platform. Even in death, the commander’s eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief.

On scene, there was a deathly silence.

After a short while, someone shouted in horror: "Purple Realm! It’s a Purple Realm unparalleled expert!"

Panic spread among the civilians; the earlier striking man had not shown the color of spiritual energy, so they hadn’t thought of the Purple Realm. Now, the effeminate man’s casual move showed them the disparity clearly.

The effeminate man, with a smile carrying a hint of coldness, looked at the astonished Imperial Army and civilians, and slowly said, "Since you cannot make a choice, let me choose for you."

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, "Go die together!"

With that, he abruptly spread his five fingers, from his fingertips countless purple threads shot out, quickly aiming at the hundred Imperial Army and hundred civilians like venomous snakes.

The sudden scene left everyone unable to react.

Mu Xiong stood on the execution platform, like others, watching with his eyes wide open, yet unable to lend a hand.

Seeing the threads about to fall, piercing into people’s foreheads.

From the sky, a thunder suddenly roared, countless arcs of electricity descended from the sky, striking those purple threads.

The collision of two forces echoed above the Imperial City with explosive sounds.

The effeminate man’s purple spiritual power, under the impact of this force, dissipated into smoke.

After resolving the crisis, the electric light disappeared, and the sky returned to clarity.

This scene, like divine punishment from above.

The civilians all knelt, praying to the heavens for salvation.

The effeminate man’s failed strike, his face turned cold, shouted into the distance: "Who is here playing tricks? Come out!"

The voice spread like ripples, expanding further and further....

"Come out? I, the Lord, won’t." Suddenly, a voice, cold yet filled with lazy arrogance, echoed from afar to near.

This voice made Mu Xiong and Mu Liancheng on the execution platform shudder.

"It’s the boss! The boss is back!" Shao Fatty exclaimed, words laced with excitement and worry.

"It’s the Little Lord! The Little Lord is back!"

"The Little Lord is back, we’re saved! Sob sob sob~!"

"This is the Little Lord’s voice, the Little Lord really came back!"

"The Little Lord finally returned! We are alright now!"

Among the civilians, someone recognized Mu Qingge’s voice; the hope that had now been shattered reignited.

This fire of hope spread, making countless civilians shout in unison: "Little Lord—! Little Lord—! Little Lord—!"

Mu Lianrong worriedly said, "Father, Qingge, she..."

Mu Xiong sighed a sense of relief, "No matter the result, we three generations of the Mu Family will face it together!"

Mu Lianrong, moved, held back tears, nodding heavily.

She looked into the distance, her many days of unease and worry seemed to be completely released. Her niece came back, Mu Lianrong’s eyes filled with longing, like a mother waiting for a wandering child to return home.

The cries echoed across the skies.

But it made Qin Jinyang’s face darken on the city tower.

He was the Emperor of Qin but never received such support.

Yet at this moment, amidst endless hatred, a trace of fear arose. He realized he had hoped for Mu Qingge’s return to die before him. Now that Mu Qingge truly appeared, he was somewhat afraid.

When he felt Le Tian standing by his side, he felt slightly relieved, thinking: With these three, why fear a single Mu Qingge?

"Is this that Mu Qingge?" Le Tian squinted as he asked.

Qin Jinyang nodded, "That’s definitely his voice."

Before Le Tian could speak, the effeminate man said, "Brother, this person dares to disrespect me; let me teach him a lesson later."

Le Tian nodded indifferently: "As you wish."

Qin Jinchen, upon Mu Qingge’s voice’s appearance, stared blankly towards the distant sky. He hadn’t expected to see him again. Yet somehow, it seemed anticipated that she would appear regardless.

Just as countless people, harboring their own thoughts, awaited Mu Qingge’s appearance, the ground suddenly trembled slightly.

This slight shaking wasn’t too apparent, but it could be felt.

Suddenly, from afar appeared a massive white object, leaping fiercely toward the Imperial City below. The descending object made everyone on the ground, from civilians to the Imperial Army and City Defense Army, to quickly move to both sides, clearing a large open space.

Bang—!

The sound of a heavy object landing echoed, and when the rising dust settled, people finally saw clearly what appeared before them.

When they finally saw it, nearly everyone gasped!

The enormous creature before them resembled a fox, yet it was the size of a house, completely snow white without a single blemish. The fur glimmered with faint golden light, with nine tails floating in mid-air. Each tail was imprinted with a mysterious rune, shimmering with a rainbow luster.

The giant white fox stood on all fours, its sharp claws shining coldly, baring its teeth with a fierce expression towards the city wall, eyes blazing with intense killing intent and malice.

"Heavens! What is this?"

"Is this a spirit beast?"

"Terrifying! How could there be a spirit beast in Luodu! And such a giant spirit beast!"

Suddenly, a layer of purple light surged across the fox’s body.

Everyone was shocked!

"A Purple Realm spirit beast!"

"A pseudo-divine beast!" Le Tian squinted his eyes, showing a hint of greed.
