Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 532

Chapter 532: Chapter 176: Lord Mu Requests Guidance! (First Update)

"What grade of combat skills are they using? Why are they so powerful?"

"Judging by their might, they must not be lower than Earth Level!"

"Not lower than Earth Level? How could a Third-class Country have such high-grade combat skills?"

The Dragon Tooth Guards were shocked beyond belief, followed by the bewilderment of everyone present.

Jing Tian, about to take the stage, now found his back drenched in cold sweat. Suddenly, he hoped for Taishi Gao to lose. This way, he wouldn’t have to face the more terrifying Mu Qingge and wouldn’t be humiliated!

The astonishment in the room hadn’t yet subsided when Taishi Gao suddenly leaped up, extending his fierce claws towards Feng Yufei, shouting viciously, "I’ll kill you—!"

The unexpected turn of events left everyone in shock, and they quickly stood up.

Hei Mu was so startled that he jumped from his seat, raising his hand to stop him: "Young Sect Master, stop—!"

This was the palace of the Holy Yuan Empire, right under the Holy King’s eyes, in front of Emperor Yuan himself. Such a brazen violation of rules and direct attempt to kill would have dire consequences...

Hei Mu inhaled sharply at the thought, almost unable to fathom the audacity.

He tried to intervene, but in his rage, Taishi Gao wouldn’t listen!

Sitting high on the Dragon Chair, Emperor Yuan also had a darkened expression, shouting, "Stop him!"

As his voice fell, Huangfu Huan lunged forward, blue-purple light flickering in his palm, striking directly towards the back of Taishi Gao.

However, Taishi Gao seemed to have anticipated this; a flash of light from his waist, and his Spirit Beast roared out, directly withstanding Huangfu Huan’s attack.

With this shift, Taishi Gao had already reached Feng Yufei.

Taishi Gao’s cultivation had reached the Blue Realm, while Feng Yufei was still in the Green Realm.

If the two clashed, the outcome would be decided in one move!

Taishi Gao’s palm force was aimed directly at Feng Yufei’s heart, showing no mercy at all.

Feng Yufei’s eyes narrowed sharply; unable to dodge, she could only reluctantly engage.

Just then, she was suddenly swept aside by a palm force, avoiding Taishi Gao’s attack trajectory. Mu Qingge took her place where she had stood.

Facing Taishi Gao’s assault, Mu Qingge remained calm, her expression unflappable, as she slowly raised her right hand.

Seeing an unexpected change of opponent, Taishi Gao’s eyes glinted with a ruthless smile: "Just in time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, their hands collided.

A dull sound exploded suddenly, and the second-layer platform shook from the unseen shockwave.

"Poof—!" A silhouette spat blood skyward, flying backward.

The shocked onlookers focused and realized that it was Taishi Gao who had been punched away!

Where was Mu Qingge?

Turning their gaze, they saw Mu Qingge standing in the same spot, not having moved an inch. She flicked her sleeve forcefully, clasping her hands behind her back, her face cold and stunning.

"Young Sect Master!" Hei Mu exclaimed, flying over to catch Taishi Gao’s falling body.

"Cough, cough..." Taishi Gao coughed violently, spitting out a pool of blood that stained his clothes. His face turned purplish-red, veins popping out as he laboriously pointed his trembling finger at Mu Qingge, eyes full of venom, telling Hei Mu: "Great Elder, kill him, I order you to kill him—!"

"Young Sect Master, calm down!" Hei Mu pressed down Taishi Gao’s raised hand, whispering in his ear.

Then, hurriedly, he took out an elixir and fed it to Taishi Gao.

As the elixir entered his mouth, Taishi Gao’s vision went black, and he passed out.

Seeing him faint, Hei Mu actually felt relieved. Otherwise, he wouldn’t know how to handle the situation tonight!

"Bold Mu Qingge, how dare you injure the Young Sect Master of the Myriad Beasts Sect!" Lou Xuantie slammed the table, pointing at Mu Qingge with a fierce voice.

His face was filled with righteous indignation as if Mu Qingge were a bully who oppressed the weak.

Mu Qingge cast a cold and indifferent glance at him, saying calmly, "Does Dean Lou want to come up here and spar personally?"

"You! Arrogant junior!" Lou Xuantie was choked by Mu Qingge’s single remark.

Indeed, he wanted to take revenge personally, but now was certainly not the time.

Because the Emperor Yuan would never allow anyone to be injured in his presence again tonight.

"Enough!" The thunderous anger came from the Dragon Chair.

Emperor Yuan’s warning, laden with fury, brought everyone back from their shock, each returning to their seats.

"Taishi Gao first violated the rules, attacking others; he was in the wrong. Little Lord Mu acted out of a protective instinct and harmed Taishi Gao, which is understandable. Let’s put this matter to rest," said Emperor Yuan, settling the matter with his words.

Huangfu Huan returned to his place, and Taishi Gao was carried out of the palace by Hei Mu.

The bloodstains in the palace were quickly cleaned by eunuchs and palace maids, leaving no trace of the smell of blood.

The combat ability demonstrated by Mu Qingge, along with the two previous stunning matches, had given countless people a new understanding of the Third-class Country, of Mu Qingge, of Zhao Nanxing, and of Feng Yufei.

The head of the Jing Family said solemnly to Jing Tian: "Tian’er, what kind of enmity do you have with this Little Lord Mu? If it is not a life-or-death feud, resolve it if possible. This boy is extraordinary!" With that, he slowly closed his eyes.

Jing Tian’s face turned ashen, his eyes filled with blood as he looked at Mu Qingge, having long lost his former spirit.

He never expected that Mu Qingge would be so formidable.

Wasn’t he supposed to be only outstanding in alchemy talent? How could he knock the Young Sect Master of the Myriad Beasts Sect into vomiting blood with one punch? As far as Jing Tian knew, Taishi Gao’s spiritual power cultivation was slightly higher than his own. If he were to face Mu Qingge, wouldn’t the result be even more disastrous?

Fear crept into his eyes; Mu Qingge seemed no longer a mortal enemy but the source of his dread, an insurmountable mountain.

His father’s words seemed to reach him, yet not, as he repeatedly recalled the scene of Taishi Gao being punched away by Mu Qingge.

"Mother, this Little Lord Mu is so powerful; he is certainly not someone who will remain obscure," said a charming woman, covering her lips, to the head of the Hua Family in their seats.

The Hua Family head gave her a meaningful smile, "What? Taken an interest in him?"

Having her thoughts directly pointed out by her mother, she did not shy away; instead, she nodded and couldn’t help but look at Mu Qingge with eyes full of affection.

Feng Yufei returned to Mu Qingge’s side, calmly saying, "Thank you, Little Lord."

Mu Qingge nodded imperceptibly, asking quietly, "Are you alright?"

Feng Yufei shook her head, biting her lip, "Thanks to Little Lord’s timely intervention, otherwise..." Otherwise, there was no need for her to speak further.

The incident came swiftly and resolved just as quickly.

Five Dragon Tooth Guards immediately gathered around Mu Qingge, their eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

Mu Qingge raised his chin, addressing Emperor Yuan: "Emperor Yuan, who do you think won this round?"

"Naturally, it counts as your win. Taishi Gao violated the rules first; the moment he attacked, he had already lost," Emperor Yuan’s voice descended from the Dragon Chair.

Mu Qingge’s lips curled slightly, "If that’s the case, with two wins in three rounds, is there any need for a third round?" With that, his gaze slid to Jing Tian.

The latter shivered under her gaze.

"Two wins in three rounds naturally means there’s no need for a third match," Huangfu Huan interjected to ease the situation.

Whether it was for the Jing Family or Mu Qingge, it was hard to tell.

"Hahaha... tonight is a welcoming banquet; there’s really no need for all this fighting and killing. Let’s enjoy the song and dance instead," laughed Emperor Yuan.

Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed slightly, thinking: ’If you want to fight, you fight. Now that you don’t want to fight, you’re done? Since it’s a competition, there should be some prize for the winner.’

It seemed as though the Emperor Yuan had guessed her thoughts, for his voice rang out again: "Since... Young Lord Mu and the others won, naturally there should be a reward. As the host, I will grant ten thousand advanced beast cores and a hundred volumes of combat skills. Young Lord Mu, don’t think it’s too little, for I am quite poor myself."

Too little? Not for her!

Mu Qingge’s eyes brightened, and the curve of her smile deepened.

Over ten thousand advanced beast cores, that amount could buy several cities. Not to mention a hundred volumes of combat skills. Although she didn’t need combat skills much, Zhao Nanxing and Feng Yufei needed them, and Qin Jinchen probably wouldn’t think too many either.

"Thank you, Emperor Yuan!" Mu Qingge accepted with pleasure.

"Thank you, Emperor Yuan!"

"Thank you, Emperor Yuan!"

Zhao Nanxing and Feng Yufei also expressed their gratitude one after the other.

"Since His Majesty the Emperor has spoken, let me add to the prize. Our Hua Family doesn’t have many treasures, but we’re famous for our women and fine wine. As for the women, it’s up to their own wishes, and I cannot force them as the head of the family. However, for the fine wine, I can make the decision. I will add a thousand jars of fine wine to His Majesty’s prize."

"Oh! The Hua Family’s fine wine is worth more than gold outside!" someone exclaimed at the table.

The head of the Shen Family also spoke up: "Our Shen Family has nothing but money. It seems we can only offer some vulgar items." Implying he would add gold and silver to the Emperor Yuan’s reward.

Among the four major families of Tiandu, the Hua Family and the Shen Family had already made their stance. The Lan Family and the Jing Family had no choice but to follow.

The Lan Family was rather casual, only adding a pair of Blood Jade Ruyi.

As for the Jing Family, the head spoke generously, but it wasn’t something Mu Qingge coveted. She didn’t intend to take these rare and exotic treasures either.

With expressions from both Emperor Yuan and the four major families, the remaining factions became awkward.

The old man from the Medicine Tower laughed first: "Everyone is so enthusiastic, I might as well join the fun. At our Medicine Tower, although we don’t have other things, we do have plenty of Pill Masters. Moreover, the Medicine Tower Branch belongs to Yu Country, and Young Lord Mu is also an Elder of our Medicine Tower, while Prince Zhao is a student of the branch... How about this, I’ll return and pick ten advanced pill masters to send to the Medicine Tower Branch and help refine elixirs for the countries of the Third-class Country."

Hiss—!

What a grand gesture! This is what you call a grand gesture!

Before Mu Qingge made a sudden rise, the number of advanced alchemists at the Medicine Tower Branch was just miserably three, which could be counted on one hand.

The gesture from the Medicine Tower old man was more important than any amount of gold and silver treasures!

Zhao Nanxing and Feng Yufei were overjoyed and hurriedly clasped their fists in salute to the Medicine Tower elder, saying in unison: "Thank you, Director!"

The Medicine Tower old man waved it off carelessly, then looked at Lou Xuantie of the Refining Tower with a smile: "Director Lou, you, the Refining Tower, and our Medicine Tower, along with the Myriad Beasts Sect, are collectively known as the Two Towers and One Sect. It’s fine that old Hei Mu ran off. Since you’re still here, since our Medicine Tower has been so generous, shouldn’t the Refining Tower show some gesture as well?"

Mu Qingge almost laughed out loud upon hearing this.

She knew that cunning old man wouldn’t be so inexplicably generous to send ten advanced alchemists to the Third-class Country? Turns out, he was waiting to corner Lou Xuantie here.

The generosity of the Medicine Tower old man, on the surface, seemed fine.

But upon careful thought, it could be seen that the old man didn’t actually lose much. Even if these advanced alchemists were sent over, they would still belong to the Medicine Tower Branch, still people of the Medicine Tower.

Refining elixirs for the Third-class Country, isn’t that just empty talk?

Alchemists refine elixirs regardless of for whom; if the elixirs aren’t consumed by someone, then who else?

Of course, it can’t be said that Medicine Tower old man issued an empty check. After all, sending ten advanced alchemists significantly strengthens the Third-class Country’s overall power.

Following this, he also used this to force Lou Xuantie to offer a reward. Lou Xuantie, who loathed Mu Qingge to death, how could he willingly reward Mu Qingge?

Unfortunately, the Refining Tower’s personal grudge with Mu Qingge couldn’t be laid out here. This feud began with the struggle over the Mixed Element Heavenly Extreme Flame. Mu Qingge snatched it, battles erupted between them, with losses on both sides, and who could still discern right from wrong?

If able, Lou Xuantie would kill Mu Qingge here, and nobody would speak against it.

Without this certainty, he could only hold it in, swallowing as much hatred as he had.

"... If that’s the case, my Refining Tower will contribute ten spiritual artifacts to add luster to Emperor Yuan." Lou Xuantie struggled internally for a long time before reluctantly speaking.

Only ten?

Mu Qingge curled her lip in disdain.

"Only ten? I say, as the head of the Refining Tower, how can you be so miserly? Too stingy!" Fortunately, the Medicine Tower elder stood up for her.

After he finished speaking, Mu Qingge almost applauded enthusiastically.

Seeing Lou Xuantie’s face turn blue with anger, Mu Qingge felt immensely pleased.

"I’ll add another ten, is that enough?" Lou Xuantie felt extremely embarrassed by the Medicine Tower Director’s teasing, and could only brace himself.

"That’s only twenty, with so many third-class countries, how much can each receive? Add more, add more," the Medicine Tower Director still looked displeased.

"You!" Lou Xuantie clenched his fist tightly at his sleeve. The disciples behind him from the Refining Tower also showed a look of resentment.

After taking a few deep breaths, Lou Xuantie forced himself to calm his inner anger and said in a deep voice, "At most twenty-five pieces, no more!"

The Director saw that it was time to stop and grinned at Lou Xuantie, then continued drinking as if he hadn’t been bargaining with him at all.

This whole additional gift made the heavy gift list dazzling to the eye.

Yet Mu Qingge lightly shifted her gaze to the Rong Country envoy. They were the ones who proposed this contest, and now having lost, pretending nothing happened might not look good.

The Rong Country delegation’s face turned red and white under Mu Qingge’s gaze.

Her blatant implication, who didn’t understand?

But they were unwilling!

Rong Country was at a stalemate, and the countries they dragged down with them, Di Country and Yu Country, were also inexplicably awkward.

Indeed, they were somewhat unhappy with Emperor Yuan’s emphasis on Mu Qingge’s stance. If Mu Qingge made a fool of herself, they would be happy to watch.

But the problem was, they hadn’t done anything yet, nor had plans to do anything. Are they just taking the blame like this?

Thinking of this, representatives from Di Country and Yu Country silently cursed the Rong delegation as ’useless teammates!’

Suddenly, someone stood up from Yu Country’s seat.

Mu Qingge looked up and found that it was Xue Qiao’s elder brother, hailed as Yu Country’s genius, who had just been promoted to the position of civil minister, Xue Qiong.

Xue Qiong was indeed elegant and handsome. Initially, when he sat among the seats, he didn’t stand out. Now standing up, his slender figure instantly attracted the attention of those at the Hua Family seats.

Facing the scrutiny from the young ladies, he showed no trace of shyness.

Instead, he gracefully saluted Emperor Yuan and then turned to Mu Qingge with a refined smile, saying, "Our Yu Country also wishes to add some gifts. Rare treasures, gold and silver wealth, beast core martial techniques, and spiritual artifacts are all prepared. Just recently, Wanshou Tomb sent a batch of tamed spirit beasts to Yu Country Palace. If Young Lord Mu doesn’t mind, I’m willing to be the owner and transfer half of them to Qin Country."

He specifically mentioned Qin Country rather than the third-class countries, clearly directing it toward Mu Qingge.

As for the Myriad Beasts Sect sending spirit beasts to Yu Country, it was normal because the Myriad Beasts Sect was located at the border between Yu Country and Rong Country. The spirit beasts they captured were in Yu Country and Rong Country’s territories. Therefore, the three parties had an agreement where the Myriad Beasts Sect would send a batch of tamed spirit beasts to the two countries every period to maintain a balance.

Xue Qiong did not mention the specific number of spirit beasts, but as Mu Qingge guessed, since he had spoken, it wouldn’t be few.

"Thank you, Prime Minister Xue." Mu Qingge nodded.

Xue Qiong slightly smiled at her and returned to his seat.

Yu Country had expressed their stance, and now Di Country’s envoy stood up. Speaking of which, Di Country’s border neighbored Qin Country, with only Qinling separating them.

The two old neighbors met here at Holy Yuan Empire.

The Di Country envoy let out a bitter smile and clasped his fist toward Mu Qingge, saying, "Young Lord Mu, your reputation in Qin Country has reached me even in Di Country. Various deeds have earned my admiration. But although Di Country is a second-class power, due to territorial limitations, from His Majesty to the citizens, everyone lives frugally, using whatever material is saved for military preparedness. Di Country really does not know what extra gift to add. How about this, I can represent our emperor and sign an agreement with the young lord, within a hundred years, if anyone dares to invade Qin Country, Di Country’s cavalry will certainly cross Qinling and fight for Qin Country!"
