Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 881

Chapter 881: Chapter 316: Mu Qingge Is Dead? (Double Update)

Lucky encounter?

They really have exceptionally good luck!

Upon hearing Long Sheng’s words, the few were unsure whether to laugh or cry.

"So you’re saying, the previous encounter between the Heavenly Net Lord and Lin Xuanfeng, where they fought fiercely, was true. However, why neither of them obtained that Divine Status still remains a mystery." Mu Qingge said, pursing her lips.

Long Sheng nodded, "Eight or nine chances out of ten."

He added, with a faint smile, "A Divine Status isn’t so easily obtained."

Mu Qingge looked at him and suddenly asked, "Senior, what is your purpose in entering the Divine Tomb? And why do you seek closeness with us? If I’m not mistaken, you locked onto me with your aura when we were waiting outside the Divine Hall, didn’t you?"

This series of questions instantly changed the initially relaxed atmosphere.

Long Sheng’s smile remained unchanged; as for Mu Qingge’s group, except for her, the other five restrained their relaxed expressions, looking warily at the grandfather and granddaughter.

The group that was walking together immediately divided clearly into two sides.

"Hey! What are you doing? My grandfather didn’t harm you!" Xuxu exclaimed angrily.

Long Sheng gently patted the back of her hand, comforting her mood.

Ji Yaohua glanced at Xuxu, then cautiously turned to Long Sheng and said to Mu Qingge, "Did he set his sights on you beforehand, outside?"

Mu Qingge slowly shook her head, "I felt the aura lock on to me at the Divine Hall before, but it retreated once I discovered it."

"Young ones, no need to be so tense." Long Sheng spoke, his smile not diminishing.

He was at ease, but Ying Ze, Yao Xinghai and the others couldn’t relax.

Keep in mind, the Long Sheng before them now was a peerless expert who had withstood three Heavenly Tribulations a hundred years ago. If the Divine Tomb had opened a century earlier, he would likely have been to the Divine Demon Continent already.

Moreover, it’s rumored that this Long Sheng possesses the Double Spiritual Roots, namely water and wood.

Standing before someone like that, they dared not be careless.

"Senior wouldn’t continue following us, right?" Ying Ze asked cautiously.

"What do you mean we’re following you? We didn’t enter the same gate, okay?" Xuxu argued eagerly.

Not entering the same gate, meaning taking different paths yet encountering each other in the boundless Divine Tomb—was it truly a coincidence?

’Qingge, are you sure he didn’t leave a Spiritual Sense on you?’ Yao Xinghai transmitted the question to Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge nodded.

This, she was certain. Her Spiritual Sense was immensely strong; no one in the Middle Ancient Realm could possibly leave a Spiritual Sense on her without her noticing.

"Young lady, indeed I’ve come for you." Long Sheng spoke.

This sentence, however, was directly addressed to Mu Qingge.

Suddenly, Yao Xinghai and the others became alert, firmly protecting Mu Qingge inside.

Xuxu sneered, "Even if you combine your strengths, you couldn’t withstand my grandfather’s single hand. Do you think if we had ill intentions, you could block us?"

Mu Qingge raised her hand, halting the pointless dispute.

She stepped forward and looked at Long Sheng, directly asking, "What guidance does Senior wish to provide?"

"Young lady, come with me." Long Sheng smiled.

Mu Qingge furrowed her brows slightly and nodded.

"Qingge." Xi Qianxue nervously grabbed Mu Qingge’s wrist, shaking her head slowly after Mu Qingge nodded.

Mu Qingge smiled faintly and said to her, "Don’t worry. If Senior intended harm toward me or us, he wouldn’t need to trouble himself in this way. Given his capabilities, we are not his match."

After reassuring Xi Qianxue, she scanned around with her clear eyes before following Long Sheng to another side.

Xuxu didn’t go along, instead, she approached the five.

Her seemingly defenseless act was actually meant to soothe the five’s unease, showcasing her thoughtful nature.

"Hey, aren’t you the Goddess? You’re the most esteemed woman of the Middle Ancient Realm. Encountering an outstanding woman like Sister Mu, shouldn’t you be jealous? Why are you so close to her?" Xuxu asked curiously, hands behind her back, approaching Xi Qianxue.

Her tone suggested a certain familiarity with Mu Qingge.

Xi Qianxue glanced at her, then withdrew her gaze. The relationship between her and Mu Qingge, the complexity of emotions involved, isn’t something easily explicable.

Moreover, how could she explain it to someone she just met and wasn’t sure if they were friend or foe?

"Don’t be silent!" Xuxu insisted on questioning.

Xi Qianxue pursed her lips, turning to walk behind Yao Xinghai, her rejection evident. Xuxu wanted to follow but was blocked by Yao Xinghai. He smiled, "Miss Xuxu, until the conversation between Qingge and your grandfather concludes, it’d be better for you to remain quiet."

Xuxu, unwillingly, pouted and retreated.

Meanwhile, Mu Qingge followed Long Sheng, walking far away. Once the distance was about right, Long Sheng waved his hand, forming a soundproof transparent barrier around them.

"What does Senior wish to discuss?" Mu Qingge asked.

Long Sheng’s wise eyes gleamed brightly. He smiled and said, "Young lady, do you have Multiple Spiritual Roots too?"

Mu Qingge’s eyes slightly narrowed, but she remained silent.

"There’s no need for surprise, rumors outside are indeed true. An old man like me possesses the Double Spiritual Roots." Long Sheng mentioned, touching his forehead with a finger, and the next moment, Mu Qingge’s eyes widened.

Two runes appeared on Long Sheng’s forehead.

One was light blue, like water ripples; the other was green, resembling leaves. These runes alternated in appearance, complementing each other.

"This is what Spiritual Roots transform into as the Heavenly Gate!?" Mu Qingge murmured. It was her first time seeing manifested Spiritual Roots, and she was deeply stunned.

"No, this isn’t the Heavenly Gate yet." Long Sheng shook his head, and the runes on his forehead immediately vanished. "The Heavenly Gate is formed by virtualizing Spiritual Roots, creating a portal, entering the Divine Demon Continent via the Heavenly Gate. Although I’ve refined my Spiritual Roots, I haven’t found a suitable Divine Status, so I can’t form the Heavenly Gate."

Mu Qingge remained silent, her gaze dark and inscrutable.

Long Sheng continued, "Young lady, if I’m correct, you have Multiple Spiritual Roots too, don’t you? Being able to refine artifacts and elixirs simultaneously, your Spiritual Roots can’t solely be fire; you likely have gold and wood too. You possess Three Spirit Roots, right?"

Three Spirit Roots? No, not just that!

However, Mu Qingge didn’t explain; her silence seemed like acquiescence.

Long Sheng nodded with a sigh, "Indeed, talented people emerge each generation, replacing the old with the new! We are old, and you remain young. Young lady, before entering the Divine Tomb, did you ever ponder what type of Divine Status would benefit beings like us with Multiple Spiritual Roots?"
