757: 0758 Trendous Deterrence!
(Fourth Update) 757: 0758 Trendous Deterrence!
(Fourth Update) Ye Qiu deliberately brought up the object he was carrying, which of course was an allusion to an artifact of Emperor Level fortune.
The situation was exactly as Ye Qiu had anticipated: with the intervention of both the Shi and Ji clans, it would be exceptionally difficult for the Mu clan to take him away.
Jin Shanshun watched the unfolding situation with awe at Ye Qiu’s lying prowess.
Throughout their journey in the Great Emperor’s tomb, he had seen enough of Ye Qiu to doubt any camaraderie between Ye Qiu and Mu Canshou.
If there was any, it most likely related to the incident on the stairway.
Though, if Jin Shanshun considered challenging Mu Canshou on the stairway as a form of assistance, he had nothing further to say.
He knew Mu Canshou was in fact already dead, but from Ye Qiu’s expression, there was no sign that he was aware of what had happened.
Moreover, Ye Qiu’s words sounded incredibly natural, not at all like lies.
Daring to weave such a colossal lie in front of the Mu clan—one of the three ancient clans—Jin Shanshun couldn’t help but feel inferior.
According to Ye Qiu’s thinking, with no living witness, he could say whatever he liked—Mu Canshou wouldn’t leap out to contradict him.
Moreover, by deliberately claiming he had helped Mu Canshou, if the Mu clan still tried to force a connection with him without proof, it would seem as if they were biting the hand that fed them.
Using such sensitive words as biting the hand that fed them on the Mu clan would cause them to restrain themselves to avoid further impact, even if they wished to deal with Ye Qiu.
Seeing the arrival of the Shi and Ji clan mbers, Mu clansn’s expressions subtly shifted.
However, the Second Lady insisted on taking Ye Qiu away regardless.
Although Mu Tianxing also wished to do so, if they were to act on it now, the Shi and Ji clans would surely intervene further.
“Clan Leader Mu, I understand your suspicion is normal, but I am also eager to find Brother Canshou.
Think about it, did Brother Canshou really leave the Mu clan all by himself?
When he left, was there not a powerful protector by his side?
If such a guardian existed, do you think I have the strength to harm Brother Canshou?” Ye Qiu initiated.
At Ye Qiu’s words, Mu Tianxing paused.
The other Mu clansn murmured among themselves; indeed, when Mu Canshou left, he was accompanied by a strong protector—a mythic figure and his clan uncle.
“His point makes sense.
With his strength, he surely wouldn’t be able to face a mythic-level adversary.
Perhaps we have wronged him.”
“Don’t forget he has a supre power behind him,” soone reminded.
“Such a powerful figure wouldn’t bother to strike against a junior like him, and it doesn’t seem to bring any benefit to Ye Qiu.”
The Mu clansn’s analysis reached Mu Tianxing’s ears, and at that mont, he truly began to believe a fraction of Ye Qiu’s story.
He too felt Ye Qiu lacked the capacity, but with Mu Canshou missing for days and the only clue connected to Ye Qiu, could it really be unrelated to him?
The Second Lady, on the other hand, dismissed all doubts; she was convinced of Ye Qiu’s involvent because she had heard Mu Canshou ntion his na several tis in a dark and unhappy tone.
To return now without resolution?
Mu Tianxing felt it would diminish the Mu clan’s face, having mobilized so many people without any outco.
It would beco a mockery among the ancient lands.
Hearing the Second Lady persistently claiming Ye Qiu’s involvent, Mu Tianxing finally made a decision.
“Ye Qiu, regardless of whether my son’s disappearance is related to you, I would ask that you accompany back to the Mu clan.
If my son returns safely, I will let you go,” Mu Tianxing said.
“And what if I say I don’t want to go?”
Mu Tianxing’s expression turned icy, and he responded indifferently, “Then I shall have no choice but to use force to take you.”
Ye Qiu felt a chill in his heart.
He could see that Mu Tianxing was dead set on taking him back to the Mu clan.
If he truly was taken to the Mu clan, he’d be like a lamb walking into a tiger’s den.
Not even Mr.
Mo could guarantee his rescue.
In the current situation, was he really going to force Mr.
Mo to reveal himself?
But once exposed, he would no longer be able to live openly in the ancient lands, forced to flee back to the mundane world and endure the various machinations of the ancient clans.
Ye Qiu’s gaze drifted to the distance, where a figure leaped out from the void.
A smile appeared on Ye Qiu’s face.
Finally, they had arrived.
“Clan Leader Mu, your actions are sowhat domineering.
Without evidence to prove my involvent in Mu Canshou’s disappearance, you wish to forcefully take away.
Could it be that the Mu clan holds the heavens above the ancient lands?” Ye Qiu said.
“Your words change nothing, what I, Mu Tianxing, wish to do, no one can stop,” Mu Tianxing declared, waving a hand as several figures moved into action.
“Ye Qiu should have gone to our Ji Clan first.”
“The prodigy of our Shi Clan has gone missing, we need to question him as well.”
For a mont, the people from the Ji and Shi Clans imdiately took action, and Ye Qiu suddenly faced the threat of three ancient clans.
However, the main force among them was naturally the Mu Clan, since the people from the Shi and Ji Clans present were only two or three, and simply couldn’t compare to the Mu Clan.
Many experts made their moves, all of them being mythic Martial Artists.
Under the gaze of the crowd, many were able to guess the outco—Ye Qiu didn’t have a chance to escape; he would surely be taken away by the ancient clans.
Ye Qiu didn’t move at all, smiling as he watched all those charging towards him.
Just as these people were about to co within a ter of him, they were suddenly flung away.
In an instant, it was as if an invisible force had sent all the mythic Martial Artists flying.
A gigantic face appeared in the air, and a cold voice emanated from its mouth, “Have you forgotten the warning from my Yun Shang Palace?
To dare attack the benefactor of Yun Shang Palace without cause is to make an enemy of Yun Shang Palace.”
At this mont, whether it was Mu Tianxing or the people from the Ji and Shi Clans, all of them were shocked and frightened.
What kind of mighty power was this?
Mythical realm, no less than a dozen individuals, all knocked back in an instant.
Just what realm did this sudden intervenor from Yun Shang Palace belong to?
The old monster has made a move!
“Wasn’t it said that he had no powerful warriors from Yun Shang Palace by his side?
Who is this terrifying person?
It feels like mythic Martial Artists are as insignificant as ants before him!”
“This…
This is an unrivaled powerhouse.
He is actually protected by such a strong figure.
What kind of favor has he done for Yun Shang Palace?”
Everyone who saw the massive face in the sky changed color; this kind of strong warrior brazenly intervening ant that even the Mu Clan would have to weigh their options.
The mythic Martial Artists who had rushed forward all steadied themselves and then wore expressions of shock.
That power had caught all of them off guard.
“Please calm your anger, elder.
We will leave now and not trouble Ye Qiu anymore,” the elders from the Ji and Shi Clans said upon seeing this mysterious strong figure intervene, imdiately realizing they were no match and retreat imdiately.
“Do you, the Mu Clan, wish to make an enemy of Yun Shang Palace?” the gigantic face in the sky took on an increasingly furious look, watching Mu Tianxing and the others.
Mu Tianxing’s face went through several changes before he finally said, “Let’s go.”
“If there is a next ti, I, Wu Yang the Honored One, will comnce a slaughter!”
The four words ‘Wu Yang the Honored One’ entered the ears of those present, causing a great shock.
They hadn’t expected such a strong figure to still be alive.
With him protecting Ye Qiu, no one dared to make a move again.
“Thank you, Honored One.” After all the ancient clans had left, Ye Qiu bowed in the direction of the void, expressing his thanks.
The gigantic face gave a slight smile, “Compared to the favor of reconstruction you’ve done for Young Master Ye, this is trivial.
I have matters to attend to, so I won’t speak with Young Master Ye much longer.”
“Honored One, take care,” Ye Qiu said with a smile.
The massive face in the sky gradually disappeared, and the whole sky seed clearer by several degrees.
