Chapter 548: Chapter 192: A Pack of Shameless Old Dogs!

“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!

What kind of broad range would arouse suspicion? What cannot simultaneously offend other families, turning the Lan family into a public target? All excuses of feminine benevolence!

Lan Feiyue was almost exploding with rage.

However, at this moment, Jing Tian of the Jing family also spoke. “Members of the Jing family, listen to my order, activate the talisman and leave.”

He too chose to stay behind.

Jing Tian’s decision surprised Mu Qingge a bit. Not only her, but even Zhao Nanxing looked at Jing Tian, puzzled, with deep thought in his eyes.

Jing Tian slowly walked to Mu Qingge’s side and stopped. He didn’t look at Lan Feiyue’s face, which was turning a purplish color with rage, but instead said to Mu Qingge, “I stayed not because we both belong to the Medicine Tower, but because I believe in my father’s words. Forming an amiable bond with you is better than forming enmity. Since a good relationship is to be formed, offering help in times of need is far better than providing excessive help when it’s not needed.”

Before Mu Qingge could speak, Lan Feiyue sneered viciously, “Offering help in distress? Jing Tian, aren’t you afraid of losing your own life?”

Jing Tian replied indifferently, “I still have a teleportation talisman.” The implication was that he could fight alongside Mu Qingge but did not intend to die with her.

This frankness truly left one speechless.

In terms of arrogance, Jing Tian and Lan Feiyue are almost on the same level. Even though he no longer harbors any competitive spirit towards Mu Qingge, he still maintains a slight arrogance in his tone.

However, this kind of arrogance is not as obnoxious as it used to be.

Jing Tian’s words caused Mu Qingge to swallow back the words she was about to say.

Since Jing Tian stood out at this moment as a form of emotional investment towards her, a kind of interest exchange, she need not persuade or even express gratitude.

For someone like her and Jing Tian, it’s difficult to become friends, but becoming partners of interest is not impossible.

For the moment, everyone was split into three camps.

Aside from the two confronting parties, the remaining are the spectators from second-class countries.

They couldn’t leave because they all coveted those tokens on Mu Qingge.

Therefore, they had to stay and wait for the outcome of the battle before taking advantage and snatching the tokens.

Similar plans were brewing in the minds of people from Rong Country, Yu Country, and Di Country. In their exchanged glances, there was a faint hostility and wariness.

“Shen Bicheng, Hua Qinxin, Jing Tian. If you are determined to wade into this muddy water, then don’t regret it!” Lan Feiyue said sharply.

Shen Bicheng remained unaffected, while Jing Tian smiled arrogantly.

Hua Qinxin, on the other hand, cast adoring looks at Mu Qingge, seemingly imagining that this ordeal of life and death would win her Mu Qingge’s favor.

“Lan Feiyue, what exactly are you planning to do?” Mu Qingge finally spoke.

Lan Feiyue’s murderous intent was never hidden from the beginning. What she wanted to ask was how Lan Feiyue planned to kill her?

“What am I planning to do?” Lan Feiyue sneered coldly and viciously, drawing out the Sumeru Bag attached to her belt.

Not just her, but over a dozen people from the Lan family also took out their Sumeru Bags!

…

Outside the Trial Space, within the Forbidden Area of the Holy Yuan Empire Palace.

This is both the entrance and exit of the Trial Space.

The people of the four major families were withdrawing in batches, immediately catching the attention of Huangfu Haotian and Huangfu Huan.

When they, along with the Seventh Tributor, arrived, the family heads of the other three families also arrived one after another, questioning their family members with displeased expressions.

In the crowd, Huangfu Huan did not see the figures of Shen Bicheng, Hua Qinxin, and Jing Tian, and couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

“Silence!” The chaotic scene around made Huangfu Haotian finally lose his temper.

With a stern face, he scanned the people standing outside the Forbidden Area.

Pointing a finger towards a person from the Shen family, he asked, “What is happening in the Trial Space now, and why have you exited? Where is your Young Master? Answer me!”

A disciple of the Shen family glanced secretly at their Family Head, and seeing him nod, said, “Reporting to Your Majesty, we were searching for tokens in the Divine Abandoned Land, but Miss Feiyue from the Lan family suddenly arrived with people, saying she intended to trouble Young Lord Mu. Our Young Master let us leave first while he stayed behind.”

The fact indeed matched their conjectures.

At this time, people from the Hua family and the Jing family also indicated it was so.

The Head of the Hua family worriedly said, “Qinxin is so reckless! With her level of cultivation, how dare she go to join the fray?” Afterward, her eyes flashed with a decisive fierceness, saying to Emperor Yuan, “Emperor, if my daughter is harmed in the Trial Space, the Hua family will definitely be at odds with the Lan family!”

Huangfu Haotian, with a somber face, said, “Head of the Hua family, rest assured, the Lan family’s self-destruction is imminent, and their family’s destruction is not far off.”

Head of the Shen family said, “Since our children have already made their choices, Your Majesty, let’s not hesitate anymore.” His words implied a suggestion to declare direct war against the Lan family.

This proposal made Huangfu Haotian’s heart skip a beat.

The Holy Yuan Empire is his family’s, and Tiandu is his territory; if war really breaks out, apart from the Lan family, the one suffering the greatest loss would be the Huangfu family.

Fortunately, the Head of the Jing family timely said, “Now the Trial Space cannot be opened, and whatever we do against the Lan family will be futile. The priority should be to find a way to open the door to the space and bring everyone inside out safely before confronting the Lan family.”

Huangfu Haotian nodded, saying, “Indeed. Now, several Tribulators from the Imperial Family are confronting a few elders of the Lan family. If the various family heads wish, they can also send their ancestors to pressure the Lan family. But, the method to open the space…”

When mentioning the most troublesome issue, Huangfu Haotian couldn’t help but frown.

Huangfu Huan at this moment said, “Father, forcibly open the space!”

His words drew the attention of the other family heads toward him.

Huangfu Haotian also turned his gaze towards him, saying, “Huan’er, it will be two days before the space reopens.”

Huangfu Huan shook his head, saying, “The key has cooled down for five days; it should be possible to barely open the space.”

“Huan’er, do you know what you are saying? Forcing open the space could lead to its collapse and the entire space vanishing!” Huangfu Haotian said sharply.

Huangfu Huan relentlessly said, “Father, now is not the time to consider gains and losses. Since the Trial Space is initiated by the Holy King, as long as Young Lord Mu is unharmed, the Holy King will create another Trial Space. If Young Lord Mu is indeed harmed by the Lan family, who among us can bear the fury of the Holy King?”

Huangfu Haotian’s expression became unpredictable from Huangfu Huan’s words.

If the Trial Space is destroyed, it would be the Huangfu Imperial Family suffering the greatest loss. To other families, it wouldn’t have much impact.

Instantly, the other three family heads also turned their gaze towards Emperor Yuan. Similarly, they were a bit impressed by Huangfu Huan’s determination. So young, yet capable of clearly understanding the measure of gains and losses, indeed not easy.

Perhaps, Huangfu Huan’s cultivation talents may not be the best among the young generation in Tiandu, but his decisiveness and intelligence were indeed the most outstanding among the young generation.

Even they, these elderly ones, felt somewhat unmatched.

In moments of indecision, Huangfu Haotian gritted his teeth, lifted his head, and looked at the Seventh Tributor, saying, “Seventh Tributor, please go to the Lan family and retrieve the key kept with them.”

His words represented his decision.

Then, he looked at Huangfu Huan again, saying, “Huan’er, you go to the Upper Li Palace once more to see if the Holy King has returned.”

Huangfu Huan nodded and left without any hesitation.

Having decided to force open the Trial Space ahead of time, the other three family heads naturally hurried back to retrieve their respective keys.

Those disciples of each family were all taken away. Before the Forbidden Area in the Imperial Palace, only people from the Huangfu family remained.

Only at this moment did Huangfu Haotian grind his teeth, saying sinisterly, “Lan family, along with the Myriad Beasts Sect, Refining Tower!” At this moment, in his eyes, these three forces seemed to be his mortal enemies, ones he could not wait to remove.

“People, come!” Huangfu Haotian called in his trusted courtiers in the palace. He ordered, “Issue an imperial edict for me: The Rong Country, Myriad Beasts Sect, Refining Tower are stirring trouble and scheming to undermine the Trial Space, commanding the court of Rong Country to capture everyone! Kill them all!”

His confidant raised his head in surprise, hesitating to speak, “Your Majesty, with the power of Rong Country’s court, I’m afraid they are not opponents for the Myriad Beasts Sect and Refining Tower.”

“I don’t care! They dared to act recklessly in my Tiandu, and I want to drive them into being homeless dogs!” Huangfu Haotian said willfully.

The confidant could only retreat helplessly and hurriedly sent Huangfu Haotian’s decree to Rong Country.

…

In the Trial Space, Lan Feiyue and over a dozen people from the Lan family all took out their Sumeru Bags.

Those Sumeru Bags, Mu Qingge found somewhat familiar.

However, before she could think of where she had seen them, she saw Lan Feiyue and others open their Sumeru Bags, from which several figures emerged—

Suddenly, in the Lan Family’s camp, over fifty more people appeared.

Originally, the Lan Family had a hundred people. Mysteriously, thirty to forty more had appeared earlier, and now over fifty more, totaling around two hundred people.

The main thing was, when Mu Qingge and Jiang Li saw those who emerged from the Sumeru Bags, their eyes narrowed.

Mu Qingge felt the powerful aura emanating from them.

Jiang Li recognized their identity. “These are Elders of the Myriad Beasts Sect who never appear in the world, how can they be here!”

This statement made Mu Qingge’s heart tense once more.

Those who can become Elders of the Myriad Beasts Sect, from looking at Hei Mu, she could guess, they must be at least Purple Realm and above. Among them, three or four people gave her a sense far beyond Hei Mu’s, their power immeasurable.

Then there was only one possibility, these few people are Spiritual Movement Stage strong persons!

And the rest, sweeping a glance over them, those whose powers could be seen through, the lowest were at Initial Rank Purple Realm, while the highest rivaled Hei Mu’s level of power.

At this moment, yet another powerful aura emerged from the Lan Family’s ranks.

Mu Qingge and the others looked over, surprisingly they were among the thirty to forty extra people.

In this group, several had the same immeasurable aura as those earlier three or four people. The rest seemed to be within the Purple Realm too.

Suddenly, so many Purple Realm strong people appeared, people from the Second-class Country gasped.

The legendary Purple Realm strong persons, as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, actually appear here so many? Is this gathering all the Purple Realm strong persons of Linchuan?

“People from the Refining Tower!” Jiang Li said coldly.

Those whose aura changed seemed to have some changes in appearance too, and among them stood the familiar Lou Xuantie, who looked at Mu Qingge with a cold smile.

Mu Qingge’s eyes slightly narrowed, and a hint of seriousness appeared in the slits of her eyes.

Rip—! Rip—!

A faint sound came, and the Lan Family disciples standing behind Lan Feiyue unexpectedly tore off the disguises on their faces, revealing their true identities.

“Lan Gang.” One of them, Shen Bicheng, upon seeing them, his eyes flashed, and he slowly uttered a name.

“Lan Gang?!” Upon hearing this name, Hua Qinxin’s face turned extremely unsightly. “The most gifted cultivator of the previous generation in the Lan Family, it was said that ten years ago he had already half-stepped into the Spiritual Movement Stage and left Linchuan Continent. Unexpectedly, he was still in the Lan Family, hidden for ten years!”

“Lan Gang never left the Lan Family, he merely secluded himself in cultivation. Five years ago, I challenged him and lost within a hundred moves, after which I comprehended my own combat skills.” Shen Bicheng said in a deep voice, introducing Lan Gang to others.

In fact, he was introducing to Mu Qingge.

Because in his view, apart from himself, only Mu Qingge could go head-to-head with Lan Gang on their side. However, win or lose was hard to predict.

Besides Lan Gang, other members of the Lan Family, many were said to be long gone from the family or deceased geniuses. Unexpectedly, these people had always been in the Lan Family, secretly guarding, never having left.

Among the Lan Family’s hundred people, removing those disguised as their juniors, the genuine younger generation was actually less than fifty people.

The three factions, over a hundred Purple Realm individuals, and eight to nine Spiritual Movement Stage strong persons, were enough to crush everything, sweeping across the entire Linchuan Continent. Yet now, these people appeared here solely for dealing with Mu Qingge!

Among those who tore off their masks, there were two people whom Mu Qingge was not unfamiliar with.

They were Hei Mu and Taishi Gao.

The two walked out and stood among the experts of the Myriad Beasts Sect. Taishi Gao sneered at Mu Qingge, “Mu Qingge, surprised?”

After his injuries healed, he had been hiding, not because he feared her Mu Qingge, but because he was waiting for today!

Taishi Gao’s appearance also made Mu Qingge suddenly realize, those Sumeru Bags taken out by Lan Feiyue and the others were not ordinary storage Sumeru Bags, but specially made by the Myriad Beasts Sect, used to store spirit beasts!

These people from the Myriad Beasts Sect, to deal with her, infiltrated the Trial Space, surprisingly willing to endure by hiding in storage bags for spirit beasts!

Myriad Beasts Sect people, utilizing people like Lan Feiyue from the Lan Family, entered the space.

Then, what about people from the Refining Tower? Why did they appear so suddenly?

As if to answer Mu Qingge’s doubt, Taishi Gao said proudly, “To deal with you, our Myriad Beasts Sect, the Refining Tower, and the Lan Family’s Elders truly spared no effort. If we hadn’t brought enough bags for storing spirit beasts, do you think there would be only this many here to claim your life?”

From his words, Mu Qingge had already heard it. People from the Refining Tower were also brought in by the Lan Family using the Myriad Beasts Sect’s storage bags for spirit beasts.

And their premature appearance perhaps was because they did not understand the cultivation techniques of the Myriad Beasts Sect and couldn’t stay in the Beast Storage Bag too long, hence emerged after entering the space.

“Mu Qingge, now that we’re here, do you think you can still escape? I advise you to hand over what we want quickly, you might die more painlessly then.” Lou Xuantie sneered.

Mu Qingge pursed her lips and said nothing, a heavy expression between her eyebrows.

This battle was already the one with the greatest disparity she faced since her reincarnation in the Otherworld. It was an unprecedented crisis!

Even though she had more numbers, but in combat power…

Although the Dragon Tooth Guards had raised their power considerably, going against these long-famous old monsters, they couldn’t possibly endure. Not to mention facing those who just crossed into the Green Realm from Li Country and Yu Country.

Mu Qingge’s gaze swept around, the people standing behind her, under the overwhelming aura of these old monsters, each found breathing difficult and faces pale.

“What now? Jing Tian, Shen Bicheng, Hua Qinxin, seeing this situation now, do you regret your choices?” Lan Feiyue sneered.

Shen Bicheng remained silent, while Hua Qinxin’s face turned pale, legs trembling uncontrollably. Jing Tian’s face was also quite grim, even cold sweat faintly appeared at the temples.

However, in response to Lan Feiyue’s question, he only pressed his lips tightly together, saying nothing.

This battle, the power disparity was too great! No wonder Lan Feiyue was so confident, thinking today was Mu Qingge’s death day!

’Did I choose wrong?’ A trace of doubt flashed through Jing Tian’s mind.

But ultimately, he firmed up his choice. Yet, he held his teleportation talisman secretly in his hand, just in case.

His actions were seen by Mu Qingge, but she said nothing.

Actually, if the target of these people wasn’t her, faced with such a situation, she would also choose to leave without looking back.

This was a battle with no chance of victory.

“Everyone use your talismans to leave!” Mu Qingge said in a deep voice.

Zhao Nanxing and Feng Yufei paused and both looked at her simultaneously.

Jiang Li understood Mu Qingge’s intention, quickly explaining, “Here, we are not their match. Leaving here, they won’t be able to act so casually!”

Almost as soon as Mu Qingge finished speaking, everyone on her side had their teleportation talismans clasped in their hands.

After Jiang Li explained, everyone suddenly realized, immediately crushing the talismans in their hands.

Yet, people from the Lan Family were all watching them with a mocking look, with no intention to stop them.

Bam! Bam!

With two sounds, Hua Qinxin and Jing Tian vanished, while everyone else remained where they were.

Mu Qingge stared in disbelief at the powder of the teleportation talisman in her hand; the people on her side hadn’t been teleported away. Meanwhile, the remaining Shen Bicheng didn’t even attempt to crush his talisman.

“They tampered with our teleportation talismans!” Jiang Li growled with hatred.

Mu Qingge suddenly raised her cold eyes toward the Lan Family’s direction; her stunning face was icy and filled with sharp intent.

The opponent’s meticulous schemes had backed her into a dead end, leaving her with no choice but to fight!

At this moment, the Second-class Country observing on the side also realized this battle exceeded their imagination. The several leaders exchanged glances and tacitly touched their teleportation talismans.

If things got out of control, they would leave immediately.

The Token was important, but it wasn’t as important as their lives.

Lan Feiyue laughed arrogantly: “Mu Qingge, you still want to run? Do you know, to prevent your escape and save you, we painstakingly chose such a burial ground for you!”
