"Hmph, you really know how to hide!"
Upon first sight of Mu Qingge, Blue Feiyue couldn’t help but smirk coldly after a moment of surprise.
Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow, scanning behind Blue Feiyue. Aside from the disciples of the Lan family, it seemed there were no other people... Wait! Something’s not right!
Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed, realizing that the numbers of the Lan family seemed to have increased.
When entering the Trial Space, each of the four great families had a hundred people. But those following Blue Feiyue now far exceeded a hundred, at least by thirty or forty more!
’Who are these people!’ Mu Qingge’s clear eyes flashed with a hint of unease, sensing something amiss.
"Miss Lan is looking for me?" Mu Qingge smirked nonchalantly.
Blue Feiyue, however, had a cold gaze, her expression haughty as she said, "Of course I’m looking for you, this is my only purpose for entering the Trial Space. You wouldn’t think I’d be looking for some Token, would you."
Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Jiang Li leaned in close to Mu Qingge, lowering her voice, "This Blue Feiyue doesn’t come with good intentions! It seems our guess was right."
At this moment, Blue Feiyue also noticed the people standing on Mu Qingge’s side. Her eyes slightly narrowed, and she frowned, "Shen Bicheng, Hua Qinxin, why are you here too?"
By coincidence or fate.
As soon as those words fell, several other groups suddenly appeared in the Divine Abandoned Land, right beside them.
These suddenly arriving people, upon seeing so many people standing, were mostly startled, nearly drawing their weapons.
Mu Qingge’s gaze swept over them lightly, her eyes darkening a bit more.
Who would have thought, the three countries of the Second-class Nations, as well as those from the Jing family she had encountered before, actually all arrived. However, she did not see the few Hua family women she had previously clashed with among the Jing family’s ranks.
It seems they couldn’t stand it during the later trials and left the Trial Space using the Teleportation Talisman.
In this way, almost everyone who entered the Trial Space had arrived at this moment.
The final competition phase seemed ready to start at any moment.
The sudden emergence of people caused an uncomfortable trace of dissatisfaction to flash through Blue Feiyue’s cold eyes. In her view, there were too many people here, only getting in the way.
"I want to settle a personal vendetta with Mu Qingge, those unrelated step back!" Blue Feiyue said outright.
Jiang Li’s eyes filled with doubt, muttering, "Who gave her such confidence? Has she forgotten the time she was almost beaten into a bloody pulp?"
"She has more than a few dozen people on her side." Mu Qingge whispered.
With Mu Qingge’s reminder, Jiang Li’s eyes narrowed as she immediately began scanning the Lan family’s ranks.
Blue Feiyue’s words made the recently arrived groups pause.
But soon, the people from Rong Country, eager to watch the fun, stepped back a few paces. The leading person clasped his fist at Blue Feiyue, "Miss Lan wants to settle a personal vendetta with Lord Mu, we should not interfere. However, Lord Mu surely has Tokens, these Tokens..."
He did not finish the sentence, but the implication was clear to all.
That wouldn’t be a problem, after all, the ultimate goal of all the countries competing for qualification was the Tokens.
Even without this encounter with Blue Feiyue, if they met Mu Qingge alone, they would also attempt to seize them.
"I don’t need the Tokens." Blue Feiyue said disdainfully, implying that whoever wanted them could take them.
The leader of Rong Country chuckled slightly and took a step back.
Rong Country was prepared to stay out of it. Whatever happened next was just a show to them.
Moreover, during the Linchuan Conference, Mu Qingge led the team from the Third-class Country with brazen advances. Now that someone was willing to teach her a lesson, they were more than happy to watch.
With Rong Country stepping back, the Yu Country also retreated a few steps, increasing the distance.
The remaining leaders of Di Country, one of whom had met Mu Qingge briefly before and held some affection for her, also led their people to the perimeter after considering.
Blue Feiyue claimed ’personal vendetta,’ and their relationship with Mu Qingge indeed didn’t warrant intervention. Besides, even if they wanted to help, it might not be needed.
After weighing the options, the Second-class Countries all made the unified choice not to meddle in the matter.
The retreat of the Second-class Countries brought a hint of smugness to Blue Feiyue’s face. She then turned her gaze toward Shen Bicheng, Hua Qinxin, and Jing Tian.
’As long as these three families don’t interfere, today will be the day Mu Qingge dies!’ A fierce glint flashed in Blue Feiyue’s eyes.
Zhao Nanxing leaned close behind Mu Qingge, asking softly, "Are we just going to let her continue like this?"
Mu Qingge pressed her lips together, remaining silent.
Blue Feiyue dared to act so boldly as she naturally came prepared. A strong and unprecedented sense of crisis loomed over Mu Qingge. The foundations of the four great families were not something she could compete with now, not to mention the shadow of the Myriad Beasts Sect and the Refining Tower?
"You all should withdraw." After contemplating for a moment, Mu Qingge decisively told Zhao Nanxing and Feng Yufei.
At the same time, she shifted her gaze to Jiang Li.
However, Jiang Li immediately interrupted, "You want them to leave, I have no objection. But don’t think of sending me away, I’m here for you."
Jiang Li’s words caused Mu Qingge to feel touched. "You don’t have to do this."
Jiang Li, however, smiled, "If today someone was causing me trouble, would you turn and leave?"
The single sentence left Mu Qingge speechless.
Because, faced with such a situation, her choice would certainly align with Jiang Li’s today. If she couldn’t convince herself, how could she convince others?
With no choice, she softly said, "Be careful, if things get bad, crush the talisman to leave."
"Hmm." Jiang Li’s eyes, filled with a smile, also carried a hint of seriousness.
"Qingge, do you intend to make us deserters?" Zhao Nanxing finally found a chance to speak. Though his tone carried a hint of indignation, seemingly angry at Mu Qingge’s words.
Feng Yufei also maintained a stern face, not complying with Mu Qingge’s orders.
Mu Qingge’s gaze shifted slowly to the Lan family, saying lightly, "This is not desertion, it’s a strategic retreat."
"Stop it! In any case, as your senior brother, I must fight alongside you, you can’t make me leave!" Zhao Nanxing said firmly.
Feng Yufei added, "You still need to help me find Mu Yi, seeing the hope within reach, how can you let someone take your life?"
"You guys..." Mu Qingge was torn between laughter and tears.
But inside, she felt a warm sense of gratitude.
She could sense the threat from the Lan family side, and she was sure the three of them felt it too. Yet, they chose to stand by her side in the face of formidable foes, ready to advance and retreat together.
Mu Qingge’s peripheral vision swept over her Dragon Tooth Guards, the three hundred men, each face sternly resolute. They never considered retreating, only thinking about how to fight, how to protect Mu Qingge!
Suddenly, Mu Qingge’s lips curved upwards, her heart swelling with a heroic spirit. It seemed as if no matter how formidable the people before her were, they could not crush her!
Blue Feiyue did not notice the change in Mu Qingge’s mood. She only looked at the other three family leaders, seeing them stand indifferently, displeasedly asked, "What? Are the three of you planning to intervene?"
Hua Qinxin sneered, stepping forward and saying to Blue Feiyue, "Blue Feiyue, this is the Linchuan Conference, not a time for your personal issues."
The first to confront her was actually Hua Qinxin?!
Blue Feiyue’s cold and harsh gaze swept over Hua Qinxin, her expression haughty, "Who do you think you are? Worthy of lecturing me?"
"You!" Hua Qinxin’s expression changed due to Blue Feiyue’s attitude. "Blue Feiyue, don’t go too far! You really think you’re the Golden Phoenix of the Li Palace? You’re just a molted chicken unwanted by the Holy King!"
"You’re courting death—!" Blue Feiyue’s eyes became viciously fierce. She raised her hand, and a silver flash swept toward Hua Qinxin with lethal intent.
The Hua family’s focus in training women was never on cultivation.
Hua Qinxin’s talent was also not on par with Blue Feiyue, making her no match in cultivation.
As Blue Feiyue suddenly struck, her fierce momentum directly targeted Hua Qinxin’s beautiful face, scaring her into a shrill scream, nearly crushing her own Teleportation Talisman.
Boom——!
A loud noise resounded in the sky above the Divine Abandoned Land.
Mu Qingge intercepted Lan Feiyue’s attack on Hua Qinxin midway, nullifying it into nothingness.
Hua Qinxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and cast a grateful glance at Mu Qingge. Unfortunately, Mu Qingge didn’t even look at her. She intervened only because Hua Qinxin had offended Lan Feiyue for her, nothing else.
Moreover, Hua Qinxin’s metaphor for Lan Feiyue had greatly pleased her.
Hmm, a plucked chicken, that description was fitting!
With her attack blocked, Lan Feiyue’s features twisted slightly under her veil, and she looked at Mu Qingge with a sinister gaze, mocking coldly, "Ha, what a Casanova, hasn’t even started anything and already distressed over beauties?"
Mu Qingge couldn’t be bothered to argue with her.
However, Jiang Li wouldn’t let it go, laughing charmingly, "As his rightful wife, I’m not even jealous, so why is Miss Lan starting to get jealous? Why do you keep biting at our Qingge, is it because you’re jealous of her beauty or because she doesn’t fancy you?"
"Nonsense!" Lan Feiyue spat hatefully.
Yet, in her heart, there was some insecurity.
She naturally wouldn’t fancy Mu Qingge, no matter how outstanding he was. In Lan Feiyue’s heart, the only person fit to be her husband had always been Si Mo.
Still, she felt a pang of unease at Jiang Li’s words.
Her icy eyes swept over Mu Qingge’s unparalleled beauty, a hint of jealousy rising within her.
How could this face be more beautiful than hers?
Is this face how he seduces the Holy King?
Destroy it! It must be destroyed!
Lan Feiyue felt a voice inside her screaming madly, and in that instant, she almost lost control, flinging her whip directly at Mu Qingge’s face.
Her sudden outburst startled those on Mu Qingge’s side, their expressions stiffening.
Mu Qingge, however, simply sidestepped, easily dodging Lan Feiyue’s attack. When the whip, thrown out, came back to strike Mu Qingge’s back, she grabbed it again effortlessly.
"Oh? Got a new whip?" Mu Qingge’s eyes fell on the whip, sneering as he said, "The Lan Family really is lavish."
Lan Feiyue’s new whip was actually a Treasure Artifact!
And its grade wasn’t lower than the previous one.
With her whip seized again, Lan Feiyue felt an unbearable humiliation. She infused spiritual power into the whip, forcibly shattering it.
After the crackling noise passed, the brand-new Treasure Artifact whip was broken into several pieces.
Lan Feiyue’s face turned pale; clearly, the act of shattering the whip hadn’t been easy for her either.
Those present looked at her in amazement, and many couldn’t help but think, ’Wealthy indulgence!’
Mu Qingge glanced regretfully at the whip on the ground, looking down on Lan Feiyue’s actions.
At this moment, Lan Feiyue coldly remarked, "Anything you’ve touched, I won’t want anymore." Her tone was filled with disdain, as if Mu Qingge was a walking disease.
Mu Qingge blinked, raising a hand to touch her nose.
If that’s really the case, Si Mo doesn’t know how many times he’s been touched by me; would Lan Feiyue still want him?
Of course, the thought only briefly passed through her mind, not lingering for a moment.
"Miss, don’t forget the main matter!" Suddenly, someone from the Lan Family crowd reminded in a low voice.
This remark brought some clarity to Lan Feiyue’s eyes.
But it also aroused suspicion in Mu Qingge and the others.
They looked towards the speaker, but the person was hidden in the crowd, unknown. Moreover, Mu Qingge had a new realization, which was that the aura of people on the Lan Family’s side seemed chaotic.
What was the reason for this?
Mu Qingge furrowed her brows subtly.
Lan Feiyue calmed down, giving Hua Qinxin a warning glare. The latter retaliated fearlessly, as if saying that if Lan Feiyue dared to harm her, the Hua Family wouldn’t let her go.
Then, Lan Feiyue turned her gaze to the always silent Shen Bicheng, saying icily, "Shen Bicheng, you always focus on cultivation, you wouldn’t interfere in personal grudges, right?" Among the Four Families, the one she dreaded most was Shen Bicheng. If he withdrew, she’d be one step closer to avenging herself on Mu Qingge.
Yet, she seemed to forget that Mu Qingge was the one who defeated Shen Bicheng.
Shen Bicheng slowly lifted his eyes, his sharp yet restrained and calm eyes looking at Lan Feiyue.
In his gaze, Lan Feiyue felt a jolt in her heart, unwilling to admit the gap in cultivation talent between herself and Shen Bicheng. But at that moment, she realized she didn’t have the courage to battle Shen Bicheng. His gaze was terrifying, a person seemingly born for combat.
Besides fighting, nothing and no one could sway his heart!
It’s said that focused people are terrifying.
For the first time, Lan Feiyue understood this.
"Shen Family, retreat. Use the Teleportation Talisman to leave." Shen Bicheng finally spoke.
His words surprised many and delighted Lan Feiyue, while Mu Qingge merely raised her eyebrow meaningfully.
Retreat could be understood, but why withdraw from the Trial Space?
Did it have to be this decisive?
The Second-class Country elites, who had been watching from the sidelines, looked at Shen Bicheng in confusion.
However, Shen Bicheng’s word in the Shen Family was absolute, unquestioned. So after his words, the Shen Family members didn’t hesitate; they crushed their Teleportation Talismans and disappeared.
"Looks like the talismans work," Jiang Li whispered to Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge remained silent, feeling that the Lan Family’s trump cards hadn’t been revealed yet, so it wasn’t wise to act rashly.
The Shen Family’s disappearance from the Trial Space relieved Lan Feiyue. But seeing Shen Bicheng still standing there, she couldn’t help but frown, "Why are you still here?"
But Shen Bicheng walked towards Mu Qingge calmly, ignoring Lan Feiyue, and explained to Mu Qingge, "You’re a rare opponent. Until I defeat you, you must not fall."
Then, he said something that surprised Jiang Li, "Huangfu Huan asked me to take care of you."
Jiang Li and Huangfu Huan?
A mischievous glint flashed in Mu Qingge’s eyes; she seemed to sense a scandalous affair.
"Don’t get any funny ideas! As the Empress, I wouldn’t look at him!" Jiang Li understood Mu Qingge’s gaze, discreetly pinching her waist.
Mu Qingge smiled at her but said nothing.
She told Shen Bicheng, "You don’t need to stay, I won’t die. Rest assured, I await your challenge."
However, Shen Bicheng stubbornly remained by Mu Qingge’s side, coldly watching the Lan Family.
This scene made Lan Feiyue almost explode in anger, nearly gritting her silver teeth to dust.
Shen Bicheng’s words were a direct slap to her face!
With Shen Bicheng taking the lead, Hua Qinxin also commanded, "Hua Family, use the talismans to leave, no one can defy. After leaving, inform the Family Head of everything happening here, and let her discuss it properly with the Lan Family Head."
"Young Master!" The beauties of the Hua Family weren’t as disciplined as the Shen Family’s trained members.
Hua Qinxin’s decision worried them.
Yet, under Hua Qinxin’s firm stance, they too used their talismans, leaving the Trial Space one by one.
Similarly, this scene also provoked Lan Feiyue.
Her chest heaved in anger as she internally blamed her father for not being ruthless enough. If only he’d accepted her proposal from the start, she could’ve buried everyone here with Mu Qingge!
