"Hmph!"
A disdainful snort shattered the spiritual pressure in front of Mu Chen, instantly giving him relief.
Mu Qingge imdiately flicked an elixir into Mu Chen’s mouth and pulled him behind her.
’Girl, still not letting out?’ Hou’s voice echoed in Mu Qingge’s mind.
The earlier cold snort, who else could it be but him?
"Who is there!" Mu Tianyin asked coldly, his icy eyes filled with vigilance.
The sudden snort also made his three subordinates stop their mocking expressions and look around. Soone capable of breaking their spiritual pressure in a single snort was definitely not an ordinary expert.
However, in this space, even the strongest could only exert the power of a Golden Realm Sixth Layer, so they weren’t overly worried.
Mu Qingge lifted a hand, and a foolish-looking rabbit fell onto the snowy plain.
It was completely snow-white, except for its black ears, and its eyes were unlike an ordinary rabbit’s, burning like golden flas. Its appearance caused both parties to pause in surprise.
The three people on Mu Tianyin’s side burst into mocking laughter upon seeing a rabbit appear with Mu Qingge’s wave.
Are these bumpkins from the Middle Ancient Realm here to amuse us?
Even Mu Chen and Mu Peng were puzzled as to why Mu Qingge brought out a rabbit.
Yuanyuan, who knew Hou’s true nature, revealed an ambiguous smile, seemingly waiting for a good show.
"Hou!" Suddenly, Mu Tianyin’s eyes narrowed sharply, his face changing dramatically.
He recognized the true identity of the silly-looking rabbit.
Hou!
It was actually Hou!
The laughter froze on the faces of the three people beside Mu Tianyin, and their expressions turned extrely ugly. They stared wide-eyed at the rabbit squatting next to Mu Qingge, their hearts filled with unwillingness to believe their Young Master’s words.
"Kid, I didn’t expect you, with less than a hundred years of experience, to see through my true identity." The rabbit spoke human language, instilling even more fear in Mu Tianyin’s group.
’A hundred years!’ Mu Qingge was shocked inside. She hadn’t expected her opponent was already a century old.
Suddenly, a blinding golden light emitted from the rabbit lying on the snowy plain.
The golden light was gradually replaced by purple-black smoke.
The smoke seed to contain emotions of ferocity, cruelty, and bloodlust, making people shiver and retreat a few steps back.
Mu Qingge, however, stood firmly, her clear eyes fixed on Hou.
Gradually, the smoke dissipated, and the rabbit on the snowy plain vanished, replaced by a person!
His appearance compelled Mu Tianyin’s group to retreat another two steps, their eyes growing cold.
Mu Qingge slowly looked up, seeing an unusually tall and burly man, rough in appearance, wearing a purple-black fur robe with an exposed chest revealing muscular, robust flesh. Around his chest was a chain of bones, the pendant being a refined dragon head.
A necklace encircled his neck, glinting faintly with gold.
His long, fluffy hair hung freely, exuding a sense of untad wildness. But his face—
As Mu Qingge’s sight swept to his face, her eyes narrowed, filled with shock. Strictly speaking, he had a handso face.
His features were rugged and wild, full of untad character.
However—
A third of his face was covered by tattoos, concealing the lower part of his face under his nose. The black tattoos extended from his lips to his ears, adding a sinister and fearso aspect to his visage.
’Why the tattoos?’ Mu Qingge puzzled in her mind.
But now wasn’t the ti for questions.
Hou sneered, his lips curling, which made his face even more terrifying. "You youngsters from the Divine Demon Continent dare to be impudent before !"
His words instantly cast terror across Mu Tianyin’s three companions’ faces.
How could they not have heard of Hou’s na on the Divine Demon Continent?
This person was known to feast on the brain of Dragons! The progenitor of all fierce beasts!
Their response eased the hearts of Mu Chen and the others, who still did not know what Hou represented or why he was with Mu Qingge, but his deanor suggested he was formidable enough to intimidate this group.
Only Jiang Li approached Mu Qingge, whispering by her ear, ’Is this guy reliable?’
Mu Qingge gave a slight pull at the corner of her mouth. Hou was her biggest trump card, yet... she couldn’t be certain.
"Hurry up and scram! You’re an eyesore, sticking around like you’re offering your heads as tribute to ?" Hou stood arrogantly, casting a sideways glance at Mu Tianyin’s four companions.
His roar caused Mu Tianyin’s group to retreat yet again, losing all their montum.
Mu Tianyin’s face turned grim, his icy eyes flickering with reluctance.
Suddenly, he let out a cold laugh, his voice carrying madness and mockery. "Revered one, had we been on the Divine Demon Continent, perhaps your words would have sent fleeing. However, don’t forget, this isn’t the Divine Demon Continent. Even as a revered one, here you are limited to the power of a Golden Realm Sixth Layer. Why then should I fear you?"
After he finished speaking, his eyes reflected a cold light, with a strong intent to kill hidden within them.
His words made the hearts of Mu Qingge’s people sink simultaneously. In Mu Qingge’s clear eyes, sothing was also constantly changing.
Yet, the people on his side seed to be encouraged, and imdiately gathered around, no longer frightened and terrified as before.
Mu Tianyin continued, "Now, you only have one person at the Golden Realm Sixth Layer on your side, and the others..." His cold and arrogant gaze swept over them, and he sneered, "are all disgraceful. But on my side, there are four people at the Golden Realm Sixth Layer. Why should I retreat? On the contrary, I respect the reputation of the Venerable one, and I advise you not to ddle in this ssy affair. If you’re interested, just sit back and enjoy the show, after I deal with these clowns and return to the Divine Demon Continent, I will personally entertain you with fine wine and food, how about that?"
"The successor chosen by the Divine Demon Continent is not an easy character to deal with," Mu Peng murmured beside Mu Chen.
From Mu Tianyin’s appearance until now, the skills he displayed made one not dare to underestimate him. This made Mu Chen and Mu Peng worry for Mu Qingge.
One person in the Middle Ancient Realm, and the other in the Divine Demon Continent; the suppression of realms was the greatest obstacle between them. They didn’t know if Mu Qingge could remain confident facing such a competitor.
Hou laughed arrogantly, scoffing at Mu Tianyin’s words, and said coldly, "Do you not know that even within the Golden Realm Sixth Layer, there is a world of difference? Even though my strength is currently suppressed at the Golden Realm Sixth Layer, crushing you few would be an easy task."
After finishing, he imdiately conveyed to Mu Qingge, ’Girl, this opponent is more difficult to deal with than I imagined. I’m afraid I won’t be able to intimidate him. To be honest, I have not yet recovered from my old injuries, and if a fight breaks out, I can only handle one, to ensure your survival. The remaining three and your subordinates and friends will have to be dealt with by Mu Chen, Jiang Li, Yuanyuan, and Mu Peng.’
Hou didn’t finish his words, but Mu Qingge understood his aning.
He ant that he could only confront one in order to ensure her safety, so the remaining three must be handled by Mu Chen, Jiang Li, Yuanyuan, and Mu Peng!
Mu Qingge’s heart sank, in such a battle, there was no chance of winning.
"Oh? Does the Venerable one really want to intervene in this matter?" Mu Tianyin was not intimidated by Hou, but beca even more arrogant. "If I’m not mistaken, the Venerable one is currently injured, right?"
Hou’s gaze turned cold, and his arrogant expression subsided.
This reaction made Mu Tianyin more certain of his deduction. He said, "If the Venerable one wasn’t injured, with your temperant, why would you be here arguing with ?"
The golden light in Hou’s eyes was flickering with killing intent.
At this mont, Mu Qingge stretched out her hand, pulling him aside, and stood out herself.
"Your opponent is ," Mu Qingge looked at Mu Tianyin and said lightly.
Mu Tianyin’s cold eyes swept over her, but there was disdain in his gaze. "You? At rely the Silver Realm Third Layer, I really can’t understand how those useless ones in the Divine Hall couldn’t kill you."
The matter of the Divine Hall was indeed related to him!
Mu Qingge’s eyes flashed, confirming her previous suspicions. The Divine Hall suddenly sending Xi Qianxue to trouble her was indeed his doing.
Mu Qingge chuckled mockingly, "I truly admire your courage. The Mu Clan in the Divine Demon Continent can be said to be struggling to survive, living in constant fear, and yet in such circumstances, you managed to infiltrate the Divine Hall and issue orders to the Divine Hall. I’m afraid the Divine Hall suspected the authenticity of those orders, which is why it ignored them. I wonder if soone in the Divine Hall has passed this layer of suspicion back up? To eliminate opponents at the cost of exposing oneself, such an unprofitable deal is sothing only you would do."
"Hmph." Mu Tianyin’s eyes grew somber, with dark surges in their depths. He coldly humd, looking at Mu Qingge with even more intent to kill.
The fact of Mu Tianyin infiltrating the Divine Hall was known only to his master, Tianluozhe, and no one else.
Now being directly exposed by Mu Qingge made his three subordinates freeze montarily, inevitably fostering so resentnt. After all, they were with Mu Tianyin, and if he was exposed, it ant they would be too, and they’d be hunted down by most of the Divine Clan.
The worst part was that the person they risked so much to eliminate was now standing right in front of them, having already taken the Divine Strategy’s Middle Volu.
However, though they were angry, they dared not show it easily, fearing Mu Tianyin would know.
The two stood opposite each other, their aura burning fiercely.
Whether it was Mu Tianyin or Mu Qingge, this was the first ti they saw each other, and just this Cold Inch encounter had already made them consider each other as opponents.
’Kill him! Only by killing him can I secure my position as the Young Master of the Mu Clan!’ Mu Tianyin’s cold eyes were fixed on Mu Qingge, telling himself in his heart.
Even though he didn’t want to admit it verbally, he had to acknowledge in his heart that Mu Qingge was more troubleso than he had imagined.
Especially now, even though his side had the advantage, Mu Qingge could still appear calm and composed, showing no trace of fear or panic.
Such temperant was enough for him to take seriously!
Mu Tianyin’s killing intent grew heavier, while Mu Qingge was desperately thinking of a way to escape unscathed. The incense given by the High Priest was running out quickly. If she couldn’t escape Mu Tianyin’s pursuit in ti, they might all have to stay here.
’Is he the tribulation that the High Priest foresaw?’ Mu Qingge asked herself.
The High Priest had said she would face a tribulation, a matter of life and death. Now, it seed that it might be today.
A tribulation?!
In Mu Qingge’s clear eyes, a blazing fighting spirit arose.
Even if it was truly a tribulation, she wouldn’t resign to fate! She would make this ’tribulation’ suffer a great loss!
"No matter how eloquent you are, it’s useless. In the face of absolute power, you can only obediently hand over the Divine Strategy. Maybe if I’m in a good mood, I’ll let you die a little easier." Mu Tianyin’s heavy sword remained pointed at Mu Qingge.
anwhile, the Linglong Spear in Mu Qingge’s hand was always ready.
The confrontation between the two was a fateful battle, ready to ignite at any mont!
"I’ll ask you again, will you hand over the Divine Strategy of your own volition, or do I have to kill you first and find it myself?" Mu Tianyin lifted his heavy sword.
As he moved, the three subordinates beside him imdiately assud their stances.
Although Mu Qingge’s side was not as strong, they did not falter; they also set up their formation, and even Hou put aside his frivolous deanor, coldly eyeing Mu Tianyin and his people.
"Not a chance! If you want it, co and get it yourself." Mu Qingge’s lips curved into a defiant smile.
