Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 975

Chapter 975: Chapter 60: Steps Within the Dao Light (Third Update)

Divine Emperor Zhong Shan’s question made everyone’s gaze gather on those few elders of the Zhuoyu Domain.

Only then did they come back to themselves. After the incident, Yan Quan died cleanly, yet the few of them hadn’t said a single word. This clearly didn’t fit common sense.

The ones who’d been called out finally stepped forward under the eyes of the crowd.

"Ahem, Divine Emperor Zhong Shan, with such a thing happening, my heart is also in turmoil and hard to untangle at this moment. Sigh..." One elder of the Zhuoyu Domain spoke first, then let out a heavy sigh.

He looked as if he didn’t know what to say.

Another one spoke as well: "It’s truly shameful that this matter actually happened like this. Yan Quan should never have used Fire Bath Heaven, which in the end harmed others and himself. His death is, after all, his own doing."

"Exactly. If Yan Quan hadn’t given rise to the intent to kill, he would probably still be alive right now." Yet another elder sighed.

Uh!

What the hell!

What just happened?

The reaction of the Zhuoyu Domain elders shocked everyone. Even Divine Emperor Zhong Shan slightly furrowed his brows, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Privately, the crowd had already started whispering.

"Are those Zhuoyu Domain elders all right in the head? Yan Quan is dead, and they’re still this calm."

"It really doesn’t feel right! Yan Quan is dead—going by the Zhuoyu Domain’s usual style, shouldn’t they be punishing the killer? How can they be saying something so reasonable?"

"It’s really off! There’s something wrong, something wrong—there has to be some problem in this. But what on earth is it?"

"The reaction of those Zhuoyu Domain elders is just too strange."

Since outsiders already sensed something off, how could Mu Qingge not notice?

She’d already prepared herself for how she would cross words with the elders of the Zhuoyu Domain, yet she hadn’t expected them to be so ’understanding and reasonable.’ This was simply abnormal!

Originally, she hadn’t planned to kill Yan Quan, because her goal was the Dao Light, not these petty grudges.

But Yan Quan wanted to kill her!

The moment that move Fire Bath Heaven came out, she felt the thick killing intent in it. If her Fire Spirit Root hadn’t mutated from Abnormal Fire, and if she hadn’t had the Flame Armor, she would already have ended up with the same fate as Yan Quan in that move.

So, at that moment, she decided to kill Yan Quan.

Since the other party wanted to kill her, how could she just offer up her neck? Who keeps their enemy around to celebrate the new year... Of course, if she could kill, she would.

Afterward, within Yan Quan’s magic, she used her powerful Divine Sense to comprehend the trajectory of the Laws within it and dashed off a high-imitative version of Fire Bath Heaven.

In truth, what she used wasn’t Fire Bath Heaven at all—it only looked like it.

However, because her Fire Spirit Root had mutated from Abnormal Fire, the Fire Spirit she summoned and the Power of Laws she controlled were much stronger than those of ordinary people with a Fire Spirit Root.

The special abilities that the Abnormal Fire Yuanyuan had once devoured—all of them were present in her flames.

That was how she silently killed Yan Quan.

After the fact, she had also planned out how to clean up the mess.

It was just that the reaction of the Zhuoyu Domain elders made her freeze for a moment. In her puzzlement, she also muttered in her heart: ’Well, that saves me a lot of trouble.’

"You all, are these your true thoughts?" Divine Emperor Zhong Shan spoke in a low voice, seeking confirmation from the elders of the Zhuoyu Domain.

Those few nodded seriously and replied in unison, "They are."

"Stewards!"

"Senior Qiu! Senior Hai!"

"Honored elders, how can you just watch Senior Brother Yan Quan die like this?"

The disciples of the Zhuoyu Domain were stunned, completely in a dazed state. Weren’t they supposed to wait for the elders to take charge and seek justice for them?

"Shut up!" One of the Zhuoyu Domain elders barked.

Another added, "Yan Quan first ignored the rules, and now that he’s died under his own magic, that’s also a lesson. You must not imitate him!"

The crowd was in an uproar!

All of a sudden, the same thought sounded in countless hearts: had the people of the Zhuoyu Domain turned over a new leaf?

"What trick are the people of the Zhuoyu Domain trying to pull?" Zhuang Shan frowned.

The Fourth Young Master slowly shook his head. He couldn’t guess what kind of play was being staged right now either.

Mu Qingge slightly furrowed her brows, her gaze drifting toward where Si Mo was. When she saw the smile at the corner of a certain person’s mouth, her eyes flashed, and she instantly understood everything.

"Very well, since you all have said as much. This emperor will go along with you—this round, Huan Yue’s Mu Qingge wins. Let the competition continue." Divine Emperor Zhong Shan spoke mildly. He lifted his hand and gave a casual wave; the arena that had previously been blasted full of holes instantly returned to its original pristine state.

’Such powerful Ice Element Law!’ Mu Qingge’s eyes abruptly narrowed, shock rising in her heart.

She had won; Li Chao and Yu Lv still had to continue.

However, after that brief bout between Mu Qingge and Yan Quan, when the crowd watched other fights, they all felt a bit bored.

In the end, this match concluded with Li Chao’s victory.

Now, Mu Qingge and Li Chao had each won one round, Yu Lv had lost one, and Yan Quan was dead. As for the next part of the competition...

"Hmm..." Divine Emperor Zhong Shan fell silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Since that’s the case, the three of you will fight over the top three." By that, he meant he had no intention of adding another person to fill the slot.

As soon as his voice fell, his majestic tone sounded again: "Mu Qingge, Li Chao, and Yu Lv will compete for the top three. Whoever wins two matches will be first place. The remaining two will fight one more round to determine second and third place."

The rules were already clear. Now that Li Chao and Yu Lv had already fought once, Mu Qingge could only fight each of them in turn. If Mu Qingge won both, then the remaining bout would be another match between Li Chao and Yu Lv. If Mu Qingge lost one, they would still have to fight again. In short, the one to win two rounds first would be the champion.

Yu Lv looked at Li Chao, then suddenly smiled faintly and shook his head. "I’m not your match. No matter how many times we fight, it’ll be the same. How about this—if I win against this Third Young Master of Huan Yue, I’ll take second. If I lose, I’ll take third. We won’t need to fight again."

What he said wasn’t without reason.

Li Chao thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Standing between the two, Mu Qingge took the initiative to say, "Who’s first?"

"I’ll go first." Yu Lv stepped forward.

Since Yu Lv had spoken, Li Chao withdrew a step, leaving the battlefield to them.

"Please." Yu Lv said to Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge gave an almost imperceptible nod and likewise said to him, "Please."

The Wind Law suddenly rose on the arena. In an instant, it was as if a gale had descended, scattering the Power of Laws Mu Qingge had just gathered.

Mu Qingge raised her eyes to look at him, a trace of shock in their depths, along with battle intent.
