Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 662

Chapter 662: Chapter 97: Her True Identity Exposed! (Fourth Update)

The door of the mansion closed, Mu Qingge stood inside a cave dwelling, surveying the surroundings.

What lay before her was merely a path that extended inward, with walls around her smoothed and glistening with fluorescent light. The ice pillars stretching from the ground to the ceiling—whether they were carved or naturally formed—was a mystery.

"Come here." That elderly voice spoke again.

Mu Qingge listened carefully, the voice seemed to emanate from deep within the cave dwelling.

’From the sound, it doesn’t seem to harbor any malice. Yet, who could dwell in this cave for ten thousand years?’ With these doubts in her heart, Mu Qingge stepped forward, slowly making her way deeper into the cave dwelling.

Drip!

A droplet from an ice pillar fell onto the corroded ice below, making a light sound.

Mu Qingge turned towards the sound, noticing that the ice corroded by the water droplets now had a groove, like a small bowl.

Following the only path, Mu Qingge gradually ventured deeper, and after three turns, her field of view suddenly widened. A cave dwelling, akin to the size of a room, appeared before her.

"Divine Strategy!" Upon entering the cave dwelling, Mu Qingge had no time to survey anything else as her gaze was immediately captured by the scroll suspended in the middle of the cave.

Unable to contain herself, she hurried towards the gold-glowing scroll, overwhelmed with excitement, her hands even trembling slightly; she had waited for this day for so long.

Having already possessed the Divine Strategy Upper Volume, she could instantly recognize it to be the Divine Strategy Middle Volume! After all, there was no difference in appearance between the upper and middle volumes.

Delighted, Mu Qingge was thrilled beyond measure, the task she had awaited for so long was now within reach.

As long as she obtained the Divine Strategy Middle Volume, her mission for this trip would be complete.

But just as she stepped within arm’s reach of the Divine Strategy Middle Volume, a transparent flame, looming with dark blue and tinged with pale gold, suddenly erupted from the ground, enveloping her whole.

Startled, Mu Qingge realized she had been somewhat reckless before.

The sight of the Divine Strategy Middle Volume caused a momentary lapse in her caution.

Standing within the flames—which erupted suddenly from the underground ice layer, and were just over a person’s height, perfectly encircling her—the flames seemed to lack any heat. Even though they coated her, there was no discomfort. This anomaly made her furrow her brows slightly.

Through the luminous transparent flames, Mu Qingge steadied her mind, scanning the cave dwelling environment.

The cave dwelling was circular. There was nothing else inside, except for the Divine Strategy Middle Volume floating in the air just within her reach. It appeared empty with no peculiar features.

"Little fellow, you’re called Mu Qingge, aren’t you?" The sudden resurgence of the elderly voice instantly filled Mu Qingge’s eyes with wariness.

"Who are you? Come out!" Mu Qingge’s clear eyes darkened slightly.

Even wrapped within the flames, her speech was unaffected.

"Who am I?" The elderly voice emitted a faint chuckle, the laughter tinged with sorrow and bitterness.

Mu Qingge frowned lightly but did not rush to speak.

After the laughter subsided, the elderly voice continued, "Little fellow, I never imagined a woman like you could break through to this point, make it this far. Have you come here to compete with others for the position of Young Master? Surely you know, in the history of the Mu Clan, there has never been a female Family Head."

Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed sharply, her heart sank. ’Who is the owner of this voice to see through her disguise so easily? Her Illusionary Artifact was crafted by Sang Lanruo and had forbidden techniques set up by Si Mo. Si Mo once said that those whose cultivation didn’t surpass his couldn’t see through its disguise. Yet the owner of this voice saw through her true form at a glance—doesn’t this mean his cultivation surpasses that of Si Mo?!’

This possibility sent shock waves through Mu Qingge’s heart.

In her mind, Si Mo was already extremely powerful, at least beyond what she could currently contend against. If the strength of this voice owner exceeded that of Si Mo, wouldn’t acquiring the Divine Strategy Middle Volume today be an uphill battle?

While tumultuous thoughts churned within Mu Qingge, she suddenly felt a pain on her left ear.

Out of the corner of her eye flickered a slight purple light, focusing her gaze, she realized that her Illusionary Artifact had been removed from a distance by someone.

Deprived of her Illusionary Artifact, her identity could no longer be hidden, instantly transforming from an enchanting young master into a stunning beauty mesmerizing the world.

Mu Qingge’s face darkened, a cold edge covered her exquisite features.

The purple earring now hovered in a spot not too far in front of her.

"Hmm, such beauty is seen only once in many millennia. Gifted, wise, and such radiant looks; no wonder as a woman you’d have ambitions to vie for Family Head." The elderly voice, after some scrutiny, offered its evaluation.

Yet, Mu Qingge merely scoffed.

"I’ve never coveted the position of Mu Clan’s leader. I’m here solely for the Divine Strategy." Mu Qingge stated her purpose clearly.

She was quite uncomfortable with the sarcastic tone in that voice.

It seemed that, in the voice’s perception, women shouldn’t stir waves or vie to overlook the nine heavens. Yet her meticulous disguise as a man was also driven by her internal ambition.
