Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 547

Chapter 547: Chapter 191: Mu Qingge, You Finally Showed Up!

"Who goes there!"

Suddenly, someone screamed.

Mu Qingge and the others simultaneously turned around, only to surprisingly find that beside their team, there was abruptly another group of people.

The two sides suddenly collided with each other, both full of vigilance.

However, when they clearly saw each other’s appearance, they were all stunned.

"Little Lord!"

Someone suddenly exclaimed from the team that appeared unexpectedly.

And here, Mu Qingge also recognized who the visitors were.

It turned out that these sudden visitors were none other than her remaining Dragon Tooth Guards, as well as the scattered remnants from Li Country and Yu Country.

"Fourth Prince!"

"Crown Princess!"

Seeing their pillars of support, the people from Li Country and Yu Country were suddenly overwhelmed with tears.

No one could have expected that the lost people would eventually regroup in the Divine Abandoned Land, not one more nor less!

Mu Qingge’s clear eyes swept through a circle, and seeing her Dragon Tooth Guards unharmed, she nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Dragon Tooth Guards, reassemble!"

At her command, the remaining hundred or so Dragon Tooth Guards quickly left their original team and gathered behind Mu Qingge.

Zhao Nanxing and Feng Yufei also each gave orders, and the two teams quickly integrated.

Jiang Li looked at Mu Qingge’s Dragon Tooth Guards with envy, her eager eyes like a bachelor seeing hundreds of gorgeous beauties after years of solitude.

This Jiang Empress, who never cared about others’ opinions, made the iron-blooded Dragon Tooth Guards’ faces flush with embarrassment, looking rather awkward.

"Tsk tsk, I really envy you. How did you train these Dragon Tooth Guards? When we go back, you really must tell me in detail. When I return to the Ancient Witch Country, I’ll also have such an impressive personal guard!" Jiang Li gazed at Mu Qingge with undisguised admiration.

Zhao Nanxing and Feng Yufei also perked up their ears, listening intently.

Mu Qingge replied calmly, "My Dragon Tooth Guards cannot be replicated. Each one is unique!"

Although the word ’replicated’ was unfamiliar to the people, it wasn’t difficult to understand. Especially the last sentence, as soon as she finished, made the three hundred Dragon Tooth Guards involuntarily straighten their postures even more.

Their cold, resolute faces all displayed identical small pride.

Indeed, they were unique in their master’s heart!

Jiang Li, filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, mumbled, "This Empress doesn’t believe she can’t train an impressive personal guard!"

Her expression made Mu Qingge smile.

For Jiang Li to learn her training methods was not difficult. After the Linchuan Conference ended, she could simply give her the training outline.

"Let’s go, let’s explore this Divine Abandoned Land," Mu Qingge looked at the city ruins ahead and said to the group.

"Little Lord, we’ve collected ten Tokens previously!" Before heading out, the Dragon Tooth Guards handed the Tokens to Mu Qingge.

Clutching the Token’s string, Mu Qingge said to Zhao Nanxing and Feng Yufei, "Now we have twenty-six Tokens. As long as our total number exceeds a hundred, we’ll surely win."

After stowing away the Tokens, hundreds of people stepped into the Divine Abandoned Land.

Walking among the ruins, their footsteps occasionally made sounds from the crushed stones.

This Divine Abandoned Land was vast; it wasn’t long before hundreds began to scatter, each searching, submerged in the city ruins.

Jiang Li followed behind Mu Qingge, her primary purpose not to find Tokens but to protect Mu Qingge.

Even if Mu Qingge didn’t need it.

She bent down to pick up a stone, weighing it in her hand.

The heavy sensation made her frown. She looked up at Mu Qingge and said, "These stones seem much heavier than ordinary ones."

Mu Qingge was eyeing a broken wall. The wall had battle marks, with deep claw marks left on its surface. These claw marks, unknown for how many years they remained, still exuded the violent aura and sharpness from when the claws struck.

Mu Qingge reached out, gently brushing her fingertips over the claw marks.

Upon hearing Jiang Li’s words, she added, "Not only heavy but also extremely hard. Ordinary Spiritual Artifacts can’t leave marks here. Yet, a Spirit Beast could leave such deep marks."

Suddenly, she withdrew her hand and looked at the fine powder on her fingertips, her eyes filled with contemplation.

Jiang Li dropped the stone in her hand and approached her.

Her gaze first fell upon the broken wall before Mu Qingge; after a brief glance, she turned her attention to Mu Qingge. Seeing her deep in thought, she frowned and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Mu Qingge raised her eyes, her gaze tranquil. She extended her fingertip towards Jiang Li.

Jiang Li looked down in confusion, and her golden eyes slightly contracted. She saw the powder on Mu Qingge’s fingertip, glowing brightly under the sunshine.

"What is this!" Jiang Li asked in surprise.

Mu Qingge slowly retracted her hand, "Some substance contained in these stones. I can feel it holds strong power, but due to too much time having passed, it’s not easily detectable."

Mu Qingge had the bloodline of an Artifact Refiner, with innate abilities in various materials. As soon as she touched the wall, she felt the spiritual power contained within.

"Stones with spiritual power?" Jiang Li asked in astonishment.

She looked again at the wall before Mu Qingge, this time curiously. "I indeed saw in Ancient Witch Country’s ancient scrolls about stones carrying spiritual energy, called Spirit Stone, which can be absorbed for their spiritual power. Could it be the ones we see here?"

"Spirit Stone?" Mu Qingge murmured softly.

She twisted the powder between her fingertips, suddenly sensing the remaining spiritual power being absorbed into her skin, transforming into pure spiritual energy, merging into her Dantian.

Her eyes flashed, her heart confirming Jiang Li’s statement.

"What was this place once? To use Spirit Stones as building materials so lavishly," Mu Qingge looked around. Now, her focus was not on finding Tokens but on the curiosity this place evoked.

She was curious about where Si Mo obtained this Trial Space.

Suddenly, Mu Qingge heard a rumble.

The sound wasn’t loud, yet traveled far, making many people look in their direction. Seeing them unharmed, others returned to their search.

Mu Qingge looked at Jiang Li, raising an eyebrow.

The sound had been made by Jiang Li.

Jiang Li instantly transformed into a beast, slapped a broken wall with her palm, and then nonchalantly returned to her normal form.

After the smoky haze cleared from the broken wall, Jiang Li’s eyes were filled with shock.

She pointed to the area she attacked and said to Mu Qingge, "I used almost ninety percent of my strength and concentrated the power to attack. Yet, I left no trace?"

Mu Qingge seemed to understand Jiang Li’s point.

She looked at the area Jiang Li attacked, where old marks remained but no new ones were visible. Her eyes narrowed slightly, meeting Jiang Li’s gaze, and they simultaneously said—

"This can only mean that the Spirit Beast leaving this mark was extremely powerful!"

"The beast attacking this wall was very strong!"

This discovery made Mu Qingge and Jiang Li both secretly vigilant.

To leave such deep marks on such a wall, the Spirit Beast’s power seemed beyond everyone’s comprehension. The main concern was that no one knew when these marks were made, nor if the beast was still pacing nearby.

Mu Qingge suppressed her suspicions and said to Jiang Li in a low voice, "Let’s continue searching."

Jiang Li nodded and slightly dispersed from Mu Qingge to start searching.

They were not searching for Tokens but traces similar to the claw marks before.

Soon, they found that almost every broken wall retained some claw marks. The crucial part was that these claw marks seemed to originate from various species of Spirit Beasts.

Judging from this ruin alone, there were six or seven different species, all leaving similarly strong Spirit Beast claw marks.

These clues seemed to be unraveling a fact to them.

"Could this city have been destroyed by a beast tide?" Jiang Li voiced her speculation.

Mu Qingge nodded almost imperceptibly, "The possibility is very high. The battle scars left here are mostly from beasts. Either they were attacked by spirit beasts or someone was controlling them from behind."

The destruction of the city is not the most important issue. What the two are really worried about is whether the spirit beasts that attacked the city still exist. If they still exist in the Trial Space or suddenly appear in the Divine Abandoned Land, it would be a devastating blow for people like them.

"We won’t be that unlucky, will we?" Jiang Li grinned awkwardly at Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge responded with a ’hmm’, reassuringly, "My luck should still be pretty good."

Jiang Li took a deep breath and said to her, "Anyway, notify everyone to pay attention to the surrounding conditions, quickly find the tokens, and then get out of here to be safe. I don’t want to be at the mercy of those powerful spirit beasts."

"Neither do I." Mu Qingge said, then passed on the discovered clues.

Knowing that there was once a fierce battle between humans and beasts here, and uncertain whether the demon beasts that destroyed the city still exist, everyone felt a sense of urgency and silently quickened their search pace.

"Isn’t this supposed to be a safe zone?" Zhao Nanxing approached Mu Qingge and handed her the token he had just found in the ruins.

Mu Qingge took the token, saying indifferently, "Safe, but only relatively. Blood Demon Valley and Phoenix Tree Forest are also within safe zones, but if one’s strength falls short or if one is unlucky, the risk of death still exists."

Zhao Nanxing recalled his previous encounters and realized it was indeed so.

He nodded, turned, and continued his search efforts.

Mu Qingge stood on the fallen stones of the ruins, gazing at the high tower in the city’s center. Suddenly, she said, "Let’s go check out that central tower."

Jiang Li had no objections and followed Mu Qingge toward the towering structure.

As they gradually approached, they discovered that the tower was much taller and larger than they had imagined.

The straight, slender structure soared into the sky, standing hundreds of yards tall.

Moreover, around the spire, there were several observation platforms, though only traces remained due to weathering damage. At the base, the tower spanned an area of a thousand acres.

Mu Qingge stood beneath the tower, looking up at its structure.

From her vantage point, she couldn’t even see the top. She murmured, "I originally thought this tower was a symbol, an emblematic structure of the city. But upon closer inspection, it’s likely it served as the residence of the ruling authority at the time. Standing atop the tower, they could oversee the city they governed."

"For this tower to survive through the wars and not collapse, its sturdiness is undoubtedly far superior to other structures outside." Jiang Li added.

Mu Qingge nodded. She said to Jiang Li, "Let’s go in and take a look."

The two approached the entrance of the tower.

The once majestic gate now only had its frame remaining.

They entered, finding themselves in a spacious hall, ascending in a spiral capable of accommodating numerous people. At its peak, it seemed to connect with the sky, allowing them to see the color of the sky above.

Suddenly, both of them shuddered and instinctively glanced at each other, seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.

"The spiritual energy here is so abundant!" Jiang Li exclaimed in shock.

Mu Qingge’s gaze fell on the walls, saying, "It’s likely because of these stones. The building materials here contain spiritual energy, many times stronger than those outside."

Mu Qingge pursed her lips and said to Jiang Li, "I feel this should be a priceless treasure."

Jiang Li rolled her eyes and asked, "What mischievous idea are you thinking now?"

Mu Qingge curved her lips into a smile, "These stones, rich in spiritual energy, can be absorbed when spiritual power is depleted, much more effective than elixirs for restoring spiritual power. Moreover, cultivating in such a place can yield twice the result with half the effort. My intent is simple, rather than leaving them here to waste, why not take them away..."

Boom, boom, boom——!

Before Mu Qingge could finish her words, the ground trembled constantly, as if a thousand troops were charging towards their direction.

Mu Qingge stopped her unfinished words, looking at the continuously shaking ground with Jiang Li.

They immediately rushed out of the high tower, standing on the platform outside, only to discover the entire Divine Abandoned Land was quaking. Zhao Nanxing and the others stood in astonishment, watching the sudden turn of events.

"Is it an earthquake? Or something else?" Jiang Li asked urgently.

Mu Qingge, however, narrowed her eyes, shouting loudly to everyone, "Everyone quickly gather towards the high tower!"

Her voice was like a guiding lighthouse on a stormy sea.

Without hesitation, her Dragon Tooth Guards were the first to move, followed closely by Zhao Nanxing and Feng Yufei with their teams.

Gazing at the constantly approaching figures, a hint of solemnity flickered in Mu Qingge’s clear eyes as she explained to Jiang Li, "Whatever it is, the fact that this high tower remains standing indicates it’s safe. We’re much safer here than outside."

Jiang Li immediately realized and simultaneously looked at Mu Qingge with shock, deeply impressed by her.

In such situations, wouldn’t most people be contemplating what was happening? However, Mu Qingge could swiftly devise a coping strategy in such emergencies.

Her reactive ability made Jiang Li feel inadequate.

Soon, everyone gathered on the platform.

Mu Qingge led them into the tower, where they were all taken aback by the abundance of spiritual energy inside.

The sound of galloping troops outside the tower grew even closer.

Mu Qingge walked to the window, looking out. The others followed her lead.

As everyone gazed out from their windows, a terrifying scene unfolded...

A horde of spirit beasts, emerging from nowhere, was menacingly approaching the Divine Abandoned Land. The strangest part was, these spirit beasts were not physical entities but rather phantoms.

The rubble of broken walls and the city buried in ruins quickly restored to ’original’ form. Numerous figures emerged from the buildings, fighting the demon beasts.

In front of Mu Qingge and her companions, it was as if they witnessed a brutal war from long ago.

The attire of those battling the spirit beasts was so ancient they couldn’t recognize it. The spirit beasts were terrifyingly large, making the current ones seem like tame kittens in comparison.

Breaking the barrier of time and space, Mu Qingge and the others witnessed the war of that day firsthand.

At this moment, nobody questioned why only the tower where they stood remained outside the illusion but instead were captivated by the brutal war.

"Was it something that recorded a past battle?" Jiang Li wondered aloud.

Mu Qingge pressed her lips in silence, suspecting it was not just a simple playback of a record, otherwise, they shouldn’t have felt the stampeding sensation of the beasts.

The illusion appeared quickly and disappeared just as fast.

Within moments, the phantoms of the spirit beasts and humans vanished, returning the city to its ruined state. The people inside the tower were left with pounding hearts, many drenched in sweat.

The realism made it feel like they were there, crushed into pulp by a spirit beast’s swipe.

"Is it over?" Feng Yufei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, murmuring.

Mu Qingge retracted her gaze and turned to the group, saying, "Take a rest here now."

No one disagreed, the illusion they just witnessed indeed required some rest to ease their minds.

The lower level of the tower was enormous, and everyone scattered about without feeling crowded.

After resting, Mu Qingge instructed the Dragon Tooth Guards to pry the stones off the walls and pile them up.

Jiang Li looked at the pile of stones, forming a small white jade mountain on the ground, voicing speechlessly, "Do you have to exaggerate so much?"

Mu Qingge replied calmly, "I’m very poor, how can I miss such good things? Besides, there are so many here, taking a few won’t matter, right?"

Jiang Li shook her head helplessly.

After their previous experience, they treated the high tower as a stronghold. After resting, they would go out to search for tokens, and when tired, they would return and help Mu Qingge extract spirit stones. Gradually, their spiritual power even recovered.

Realizing the benefits of the spirit stones, everyone began prying some off for themselves.

Mu Qingge did not mind. After all, what was here didn’t belong to her, and it was impossible to take so much away, if others wanted them, so be it.

Soon, the lower level walls turned rugged, while the pried stones piled in front of Mu Qingge amounted to over ten thousand blocks.

The Dragon Tooth Guards then started prying into the second layer. After experiencing another illusion of beast tides, Mu Qingge’s collection of spirit stones reached over twenty-five thousand blocks.

Meanwhile, the number of tokens they collected rose to forty-two.

This meant they had found sixteen tokens in the Divine Abandoned Land!

Which also meant that twenty-four tokens were yet to be found in the Divine Abandoned Land.

"It seems someone is coming this way." Jiang Li, who was stationed at the higher level of the tower for lookout, suddenly alerted the others below.

A flash flickered in Mu Qingge’s eyes, with a wave of her hand, the twenty-five thousand spirit stones in front of her were absorbed into her space.
