"It’s you!"
"It really is you!"
Hei Mu and Feng Kunhai recognized Mu Qingge, and their abnormal behavior caught the attention of Wan Jianfeng, the Lord of Wanfeng City.
"Two elders, do you know this..." He realized he didn’t know Mu Qingge’s name yet, so he shifted his gaze to her, as if waiting for her to introduce herself.
However, at this moment, Mu Qingge paid him no mind, simply casting a cold gaze at Hei Mu and Feng Kunhai, her lips curving into a smile filled with endless sarcasm.
This attitude of hers caused Wan Jianfeng’s displeasure, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"You dare to appear here and even impersonate an elder of the Medicine Tower!" Hei Mu sternly questioned, his withered finger unceremoniously pointing at Mu Qingge.
Feng Kunhai was even more direct. Ignoring the occasion, he instructed the disciples he brought from the Refining Tower, "Men, seize this thief!"
The sarcasm in Mu Qingge’s smile deepened.
Wan Jianfeng noticed something amiss as well, and his gaze towards Mu Qingge became filled with scrutiny.
"Two old dogs, I didn’t expect you to still be alive." Mu Qingge finally spoke, her words turning Hei Mu and Feng Kunhai’s faces livid with anger.
She did not bother to explain the authenticity of her identity, nor would she tell them her name.
It’s not that she was evasive, but she didn’t want to implicate her family because of her matters. The lesson from the Le Family in the Middle Ancient Realm had taught her this.
The experts in this world are shameless, and they won’t care about the chivalrous saying ’trouble should not reach the family’!
"Brat, you’re too arrogant! Today is your death day!" Hei Mu slapped his waist, and several rays of light flew out from his waist, landing on the ground, transforming into three high-rank Spirit Beasts.
Mu Qingge’s eyes flashed; on that day, Hei Mu’s spirit beasts all perished in the Endless Swamp, but it seems he’s quickly replenished them after leaving.
The Refining Tower quickly signaled, calling for the disciples outside the City Lord Mansion to come quickly.
This sudden change made Wan Jianfeng’s eyebrows furrow so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death.
He stepped out to stand between Hei Mu and Feng Kunhai, saying, "Gentlemen, this is my City Lord Mansion." He was reminding them that whatever they intended to do, they should at least inform him to understand what is happening.
Hei Mu’s status in the Myriad Beasts Sect was far higher than Feng Kunhai’s in the Refining Tower, and certainly beyond comparison to a city lord. So, facing Wan Jianfeng’s questioning, he paid no heed, his insidious old eyes fixated on Mu Qingge, as if afraid she might escape again.
However, Feng Kunhai couldn’t ignore Wan Jianfeng, so he simply said, "City Lord may not know, but this little thief is not an elder of the Medicine Tower at all. Instead, he is a criminal wanted jointly by my Refining Tower and the Myriad Beasts Sect! This kid is incredibly cunning and insidiously vicious. In the Endless Swamp, he used deceit to steal our sects’ prized treasures and massacred countless disciples. Our two great forces joined hands to hunt for him and never expected that he would brazenly enter Wanfeng City, even disguising himself as a Medicine Tower elder, trying to slip through!"
Wan Jianfeng finally understood Mu Qingge’s ’identity,’ his gaze filled with astonishment. Someone capable of toying with both the Refining Tower and the Myriad Beasts Sect, should he call her clever, or a fool?
Mu Qingge sneered repeatedly, looking at Feng Kunhai, "Your ability to invert right and wrong indeed befits the title of an elder!"
Her sarcastic remark, devoid of profanity, changed the color on Feng Kunhai’s face.
Hei Mu shouted fiercely, "Thief, don’t play tricks anymore! No matter how glib you are, you can’t reverse the facts!"
As his words fell, Hei Mu’s Spirit Beasts roared and charged at Mu Qingge again.
Yin Chen was currently at a critical stage of advancing and couldn’t come out to assist Mu Qingge, leaving her to face them alone.
Mu Qingge moved swiftly, agilely avoiding the attacks of the Spirit Beasts.
At this moment, the disciples of the Myriad Beasts Sect present all summoned their Spirit Beasts, glaring fiercely at Mu Qingge. The disciples of the Refining Tower had already encircled her, releasing hidden weapons in their hands to attack Mu Qingge’s back.
However, Mu Qingge seemed to be aware beforehand, somersaulting in mid-air to avoid the incoming hidden weapons, causing them to miss one by one, hitting the walls and pillars of the City Lord Mansion.
Feng Kunhai turned to the stern-faced Wan Jianfeng, "Why has Lord City Lord not acted yet? Don’t forget, he is also a wanted criminal by the Court!"
This remark made Wan Jianfeng’s eyes sharp, and he leaped into the fray, formally joining the battle.
As he moved, the guards of the City Lord Mansion and others also joined in one after another.
As the lord of a city, Wan Jianfeng’s strength was naturally not weak.
Though not having entered the Purple Realm, he could still compete evenly with Feng Kunhai.
Hei Mu’s combat skills unleashed like a giant snake’s long whip, splitting into countless purple whip shadows, sealing off every corner. He sneered at Mu Qingge, "I’m really curious, just how many treasures do you have on you that you managed to survive Jin Gui’s self-destruction!"
Mu Qingge retorted mockingly, "I’m also curious, after going through such a battle, just how much combat power do you two have left."
Hei Mu and Feng Kunhai’s faces changed at the same time, as if Mu Qingge had hit the nail on the head regarding their concerns.
Indeed! At this moment, their strength was only about seventy percent of their peak. The previous great battle had left them with heavy injuries, and they didn’t have much time to recover properly.
However, they also believed that even if Mu Qingge could survive under such circumstances, she would definitely be injured, affecting her combat power.
The young man before them was a genuine Purple Realm, and neither of them forgot this fact.
The only thing they forgot was to remind Wan Jianfeng that Mu Qingge was a Purple Realm!
"If you want to fight, then let’s fight!" Mu Qingge’s gaze lightly swept over the more than a dozen spirit beasts, then suddenly revealed a strange smile.
She didn’t take out the Linglong Spear but instead took out the Beast Taming Flute she snatched from Taishi Gao.
Taishi Gao, fearing death, had honestly told her about the Beast Taming Flute’s function and how to use it.
When Mu Qingge took out the Beast Taming Flute, Hei Mu’s expression changed; his eyes widened suddenly, and he quickly said, "Not good!"
But before he could say what exactly was wrong, a strange flute tune slowly emerged from beneath Mu Qingge’s lips.
The spirit beasts released by the Myriad Beasts Sect to deal with Mu Qingge heard the flute and became drowsy, as if controlled by someone.
"Elder Hei Mu, what’s going on?" Wan Jianfeng noticed the anomaly and quickly asked.
Hei Mu’s face had turned ashen, and he glared viciously at Mu Qingge, "This brat actually stole our sect’s Beast Taming Flute!"
Roar——!
Roar roar——!
Roar roar roar——!
Hei Mu’s words were drowned out by the crazy roars of the spirit beasts.
Those spirit beasts that were once tamed, now seemed to break free from their restraints, reverting to their nature, their eyes filled with hatred and killing intent. Looking at their former masters, there was no longer any docility, only enmity.
Mu Qingge stopped playing the flute, placed her hands behind her back, and suddenly soared into the air, looking down coldly at the beasts below, "Today, seize your revenge. Kill——!"
The word ’kill’, carrying the oppressive force of Purple Realm Spiritual Power, was shouted by Mu Qingge, forming an intangible wave, rolling downwards.
People with lower cultivation were overturned on the ground, only feeling their blood surging.
And those spirit beasts, as if hearing orders, dashed into the crowd, biting anyone they saw, killing anyone they could.
Even their former masters couldn’t escape the deadly grip.
The chaos led to a near collapse of the scene, with countless screams rising, and the tightly-knit encirclement was in tatters.
"Such audacity!" Hei Mu’s eyes stared sharply at Mu Qingge, grinding his teeth as he spoke two words.
Mu Qingge, yet, smiled playfully, calmly saying, "You’re too kind." Did they really think she had come to deliver herself to death without any calculations?
Did she look that foolish?
"Elder Hei Mu, stop wasting words with her; let’s join hands and kill him!" Feng Kunhai saw many disciples of the Refining Tower fall to the beasts’ maws, strengthening his determination to kill Mu Qingge.
Hei Mu nodded silently, yet his eyes were still filled with caution.
Because he hadn’t forgotten that Mu Qingge hadn’t taken out that Divine Artifact yet, nor her fake divine beast, not even the strange Magical Treasure that could reflect attacking force.
The person in front had too many trump cards; he had to be cautious to avoid being caught off guard!
"Lord City Lord, have people seal the mansion gates and the city gates, make sure this criminal does not escape!" Feng Kunhai turned to shout at the stunned Wan Jianfeng.
Wan Jianfeng was jolted by his shout, quickly nodding in response.
He took out a strangely shaped tube from his bosom and rang it towards the sky. Immediately, a sharp sound came from the tube; a purple-red light shot towards the sky, exploding in the night sky, radiating outwards like a purple-red canopy.
The light and sound were especially conspicuous in the night sky.
The guards responsible for watching over the City Lord Mansion and the surrounding city gates looked up to see this warning. They immediately went on alert, hurriedly passing along orders—
"Quick, close the city gates—!"
"Quick, close the city gates—!"
"Full city lockdown—! Full city lockdown—!"
Mu Qingge watched Wan Jianfeng’s actions coldly, not interfering to stop them.
The people below pursuing her were already in chaos. Only Hei Mu, Feng Kunhai, and Wan Jianfeng were left.
Suddenly, Mu Qingge’s hands formed a seal; she muttered deeply, "Thousand Thunder Technique!"
Her movements were like an illusion, so fast that they were untraceable.
Her hair moved without wind, and suddenly the dull sound of thunder came from the pitch-black night sky.
"Not good! She’s going to use combat skills!" Hei Mu warned.
Wan Jianfeng, however, did not immediately grasp his meaning, snorted and said, "Combat skills are just combat skills. Do you think we don’t have them?" Saying that, he too positioned his hands to prepare his own combat skills.
Bang bang—!
The sound of thunder suddenly erupted.
The continuous thunder sounded like divine retribution. It shook Wan Jianfeng’s hand, interrupting his combat skills. In Wanfeng City, countless citizens poked their heads out of their homes, looking towards the sky, staring at the apocalypse-like horizon with boundless fear.
A massive energy lurked in the sky.
It seemed that once triggered, there would be devastation.
"What level of combat skill is this? So powerful!" Wan Jianfeng finally understood Hei Mu’s earlier reminder.
Hei Mu’s face was extremely solemn, his experience allowing him to judge the level of Mu Qingge’s combat skill: "Heaven Rank..."
"Heaven Rank!" Wan Jianfeng drew in a cold breath, asking in disbelief, "Who is he really?"
Unfortunately, no one could answer him.
Feng Kunhai looked at Hei Mu, frowning, "Elder Hei Mu, it seems only you can stop her now!"
Hei Mu cursed inwardly: ’Sending an old man to die!’ But when he saw that his spirit beast had already broken free of his control, tearing through the disciples of the Myriad Beasts Sect, with limbs and blood everywhere, he had no choice but to take a step forward.
However, the moment he took this step, Mu Qingge’s clear eyes, filled with boundless coldness, looked at him.
Those eyes made Hei Mu’s entire body stiffen.
Unfeeling, indifferent; that was his first impression of those eyes.
When he saw the storm of thunder hidden within them, his eyes widened, and a desire to flee rose in him.
Bang bang bang—!
Lightning, as thick as an adult’s arm, countless strikes descended from the sky, landing in Wanfeng City.
The apocalyptic scene made the citizens in the city scream with their heads in their hands. Helpless, they hid in their homes, silently praying to escape this disaster.
Explosions erupted in the City Lord Mansion, with countless fires consuming the entire place.
Mu Qingge stood among the lightning like a world-ending Thunder God, her hair wildly dancing, her expression indifferent.
The continuous explosion sounds made Wan Jianfeng ask in panic, "What happened? What on earth is happening?" It’s just lightning; it shouldn’t cause such chaos.
What’s happening?
No one understood better than Mu Qingge.
Her cold, unfeeling eyes watched the chaos she orchestrated, amusement surfacing in her gaze.
As she entered the City Lord Mansion, she casually tossed some explosives she had concocted along the way. With her skills and speed, she wouldn’t attract attention from those watching the path.
The chorus of explosions made Wanfeng City resemble a burst of fireworks.
She looked at Wan Jianfeng, a mocking smile on her face. "Lord City Lord graciously invited me, how could I come empty-handed? Consider this grand display my gift. Are you satisfied, Lord City Lord?"
Chaos reigned! Absolute chaos!
The entire Wanfeng City seemed to descend into hell in an instant, with lightning everywhere, explosions, and flames consuming everything. In the sky above the city, cries of woe were everywhere.
Wan Jianfeng couldn’t tell if he was trembling with rage or fear—only that his eyes towards Mu Qingge were like seeing a bloodthirsty demon, filled with terror.
"The citizens are innocent! How could you bear this!" Wan Jianfeng was struck by a bolt of lightning, spit out a mouthful of blood, and barely managed to utter a sentence for himself.
Mu Qingge laughed wildly, "The citizens are innocent? Am I not innocent? I consider myself innocent, so why do you want my life? The City Lord of Wanfeng City isn’t me. Why should I care about the lives of the citizens? It’s their fault for having you as their great City Lord, leading to today’s calamity!"
A person’s choice means accepting all consequences!
Mu Qingge’s words pierced like needles, leaving Wan Jianfeng pale, unable to retort!
Mu Qingge cast a scornful glance at him. ’Using the citizens to pressure her, did he think she was naive? She was never like those compassionate white lotus flowers!’
Besides, Mu Qingge knew better than anyone if innocents were harmed.
The lightning that struck the city mainly knocked down a few tiles or cut down a tree or two. Of course, if anyone ran out themselves, they had only themselves to blame. The main attack was in the City Lord Mansion, where the explosives, not of this world, were only inside.
But, as Wan Jianfeng was in the midst of it, he couldn’t see clearly and assumed the outside was the same.
"You committed such a grave crime in Wanfeng City, today you must be captured!" Hei Mu’s voice was sharp, and snake-like whip shadows struck towards Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge gave him an eerie smile. As the whip shadows approached, her body astonishingly became incorporeal and vanished.
Hei Mu’s eyes suddenly widened, his expression changed abruptly, and he looked towards Feng Kunhai, loudly warning, "Quick, get out of the way!"
Feng Kunhai heard Hei Mu’s warning, just about to dodge, felt the surrounding aura tighten, as if falling into a sticky trap, unable to move.
Mu Qingge’s face appeared before him.
Feng Kunhai only saw her red lips curl, then felt a pain in his chest. He instinctively looked down, discovering a fist-sized hole in his chest, but nothing inside.
Feng Kunhai was incredulous, woodenly lifting his head to look at Mu Qingge.
The cold, ice-like eyes entered his gaze.
The unbearable pain made him want to scream, but when he opened his mouth, only blood and shredded flesh spewed out.
It all happened in an instant.
Hei Mu couldn’t save him, let alone Wan Jianfeng, standing by Feng Kunhai and was speechless by a few words from Mu Qingge.
"Courting death!" Seeing Feng Kunhai killed by Mu Qingge, Hei Mu’s deep purple snake whip swirled through the air, whipping towards Mu Qingge.
But when it landed, Mu Qingge’s figure faded like a ripple.
The deep purple snake whip struck Feng Kunhai, turning his corpse into countless pieces, scattering them!
Suddenly, Hei Mu’s back tingled, and Mu Qingge’s voice came from behind him: "Old dog, I’ve remembered your life, I’ll claim it another day!"
With that, she struck Hei Mu’s back, causing his blood and energy to surge, making him lunge forward.
The deep purple snake whip responded to the sound, attacking.
But beneath Mu Qingge’s feet, a mysterious and strange array appeared. As countless whip shadows came, her figure completely disappeared from the City Lord Mansion of Wanfeng City.
With Mu Qingge’s disappearance, the countless thunderstorms in the night sky vanished instantly.
Wanfeng City seemed to have returned to calm, but the City Lord Mansion was a mess, with countless dead and injured.
The one or two remaining disciples of Wanfeng City, despite their injuries, supported the staggering Hei Mu. Wan Jianfeng also woke from Feng Kunhai’s death, quickly went to his side and asked, "Elder Hei Mu, where is she? What do we do now?"
