"Submission or annihilation?" Mu Qingge’s clear eyes fell on Mu Yuan, and within her stunningly beautiful features, there was an elusive calm.
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Yuan and the others imdiately drew their weapons and pointed them at Mu Qingge.
However, the few accompanying Yin Chen showed no reaction, rely smiling lightly and clinking their wine glasses in response to their tension.
"Young Master Qingge, is this the reason you’ve invited us here?" Mu Yuan lowered his face, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings with vigilance.
The people he brought also surrounded Mu Feng protectively, carefully observing the area.
Mu Qingge’s lips curved slightly as she casually placed her hands behind her back and said to Mu Yuan, "No need to be so tense, I haven’t set any traps."
The confidence in her words seed to convey to Mu Yuan and the others, ’I need no preparation; if I don’t want you to leave, you won’t be able to leave.’
Her confidence stemd from her strong inner self and her clear understanding of the advantages she held.
This confidence, strong enough to suffocate, indeed unsettled Mu Yuan and the others. Mu Feng stood among them, his diamond-shaped lips pressed into a line, his features tense, and those resolute eyes gazing at Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge saw his gaze but rely returned a faint glance.
"Mu Family Head, I’m not soone who likes beating around the bush, and my patience is limited, so please consider my question seriously." Mu Qingge smiled, her lips curving.
Mu Yuan lowered his face and instinctively glanced at his son beside him, then said to Mu Qingge, "Do you intend to disregard the rules set by our ancestors, Young Master Qingge?"
"Rules?" A trace of mockery appeared in Mu Qingge’s eyes, and her aura grew colder. She looked at Mu Chen standing nearby and asked, "Are they reminding not to give them a chance, just kill and be done with it?"
Mu Chen’s face changed, and he hurriedly bowed to Mu Qingge, saying, "Young Master, calm your anger. Maybe Brother Mu Yuan misunderstood. Allow to explain it to him."
Mu Qingge’s lips held a playful smile as she tacitly agreed to his request.
Mu Chen looked at her gratefully before striding up to Mu Yuan.
Mu Yuan saw him approaching and snorted coldly.
Mu Chen shook his head and sighed, "Brother Mu Yuan, our Young Master is offering you a way to live, why can’t you see it? The cruel struggle for the Mu Clan’s Young Master position doesn’t need further explanation from , you’re well aware. If you persist, do you really want to watch Mu Feng die before your eyes before waking up?"
Mu Chen’s words made a flicker of struggle flash in Mu Yuan’s eyes.
Mu Feng’s gaze turned more resolute as he looked towards Mu Chen, seemingly protesting silently.
Mu Chen saw his gaze and turned to him: "Xiao Feng, everyone is aware of your talent. It’s not that your uncle is belittling you, but even after ten more years of practice, you likely still wouldn’t be a match for our Young Master, not to ntion there are even more formidable people on the Divine Demon Continent."
His words caused shadows to flicker in Mu Feng’s eyes.
Inferior talent is his hard wound. Even if he puts in more efforts, the gap he closes is limited. Moreover, his current opponent is soone whose talents far surpass his, and who is equally committed?
Mu Feng unwillingly looked at Mu Qingge.
Then, Mu Chen addressed Mu Yuan again, "Our Young Master speaks plainly but is actually saving Xiao Feng’s life. As long as you submit to our Young Master and withdraw from the competition, then all remaining risks will be borne by our Young Master, and Xiao Feng will no longer face any threat. You’re bound to lose, so why not choose the right side before any sacrifices are made?"
Mu Yuan snorted coldly at Mu Chen with a sneer, "It’s been years since we last t, your eloquence has certainly improved. Painting your Young Master as a great benefactor, as if there’s an interest-free deal in this world?"
With that said, he lightly shifted his gaze to Mu Qingge, his eyes sharp, "In the end, you’re just enamored with our power, looking to absorb it and strengthen yourself. Since you’re so formidable, we can wait until you’re exhausted battling each other and then let Feng’er pick the fruits as the fisherman. The outco is still undecided!"
Upon hearing his words, Mu Qingge suddenly burst into laughter.
Her laughter ca abruptly, leaving others puzzled. Yet, anyone slightly familiar with her could sense the mockery within that laughter.
After she laughed, she looked at Mu Yuan with a mocking smile, "Aren’t you being a bit naive? Do you really think that Mu Feng’s adversary is just ? Or Mu Tianyin on the Divine Demon Continent? Even if both of us die fighting, and Mu Feng picks up the leftovers, can he stand against the Divine Clan that exterminated the Mu Clan? Besides, when two mollusks fight, who says the fisherman always profits? The fisherman might just end up as a stepping stone."
Mu Yuan’s face turned pale from her words.
His eyes flickered, seemingly searching for words to rebut, yet unable to find any.
Suddenly, Mu Qingge swiftly struck, grabbing towards Mu Feng in mid-air.
This scene ca too abruptly, so quickly that the experts surrounding Mu Feng were caught off guard, only to see Mu Feng being dragged out of the protective center, fiercely falling at Mu Qingge’s feet.
"Young Master—!"
"Feng’er—!"
This turn of events shocked Mu Yuan and his entourage, almost prompting them to act.
Mu Feng endured the pain, raising his head to look at Mu Qingge standing before him, from this angle, he saw the burning flas deep within her eyes.
"Do you want to be the Young Master of the Mu Clan?" Mu Qingge suddenly asked him.
Do you want to be the Young Master of the Mu Clan?
The question fell into Mu Feng’s ears, causing him to tremble. He slowly shook his head, "No. I just want to prove I’m not a waste."
"Feng’er!" Mu Yuan’s voice ca from behind him.
However, Mu Feng paid no attention.
Hearing his reply, Mu Qingge’s lips curled slightly as she raised an eyebrow and said, "Very good, at least you have so self-awareness."
"Hmph, by saying that, are you just certain you can beco the Young Master of the Mu Clan?" soone among Mu Yuan’s entourage said discontentedly.
Mu Qingge slowly lifted her gaze towards him, her eyes clear yet exceptionally sharp, carrying a hint of nonchalance. Under her gaze, the person suddenly felt speechless, unable to find words.
"I actually have no interest in being the Young Master of the Mu Clan," Mu Qingge suddenly said, causing an uproar among the crowd. Even Mu Chen and Mu Peng were montarily stunned.
Mu Qingge slowly paced towards the steps.
Once she stood high up, looking down at Mu Yuan and the others, she slowly said, "It’s fair to say that I was naively dragged into this so-called Mu Clan Young Master struggle. However, now, I must acquire the position of Young Master. Anyone in my way is my enemy, and I always deal with enemies with one move — kill."
The word ’kill’ was spoken with chilling sharpness, making one’s eardrums sting.
"Mu Family Head, what does Mu Feng have to fight against ?" Mu Qingge’s lips curled slightly, teasingly said, "I am now at the Silver Realm Third Layer, while he is at the Sixth Layer of Gray Realm. Half of the resources of your Mu Family are now in my hands, resources you lack. I’ve obtained two volus of the Three Divine Strategies, and the Mu Clan bloodline within has been awakened, washed and tempered by the blood of the ancestors."
"What!"
"What did you say!"
Mu Qingge’s words shocked Mu Yuan and his people.
Their eyes widened in disbelief at Mu Qingge. They really didn’t know that Mu Qingge had co so far! These matters, Mu Chen had never told him.
Involuntarily, Mu Yuan looked at Mu Chen.
Mu Chen apologetically cupped his hands and said, "Without the Young Master’s permission, naturally, I could not speak of these matters."
His explanation made Mu Yuan’s face turn a layer of bitterness.
"Besides these, I am also a Holy Level Refiner and a Divine Level Alchemist. What does Mu Feng have to fight against ?" Mu Qingge’s eyes sharpened, and her montum surged.
Holy Level Refiner!
Divine Level Alchemist!
Mu Yuan and his people looked at her in shock. Mu Feng on the ground also slowly stood up, looking at Mu Qingge in disbelief, seemingly wondering how she accomplished all this at such a young age.
anwhile, within Mu Yuan, it was like a great wave rising. For Mu Qingge to achieve such feats at her age required an extraordinary talent and ability?!
This made his expression even more bitter, his gaze unwillingly falling on his son.
Facing such an opponent, no matter how persistent the effort, it can’t fill the gap between them.
Especially since Mu Qingge’s Mu Clan bloodline had already awakened, indicating that her future was limitless! Mu Feng... could no longer catch up.
This result caused Mu Yuan’s gaze to dim instantly.
The other few looked at each other, and they also involuntarily began to slowly lower their weapons.
As Mu Qingge pressed forward, Mu Yuan’s side was utterly defeated, and the outco was long decided.
What was needed, after all, was just a step down.
Mu Qingge once again walked down the steps, she ca to Mu Feng and said to him, "You’re quite impressive, a resolute heart is more important than talent. However, soone like you isn’t suited to be a leader but is more suited to be a vanguard. Are you willing to submit to , to be my vanguard general? Prove your worth, prove you’re not worthless!"
Mu Feng’s eyes burned with intensity at Mu Qingge’s words.
He looked at Mu Qingge with determined eyes and gave a resolute answer, "I am willing!"
"Feng’er!"
"Young Master!"
Even though they’d already guessed the outco in their hearts, Mu Feng’s attitude still took Mu Yuan and others by surprise.
Mu Feng willingly gave up the position of Mu Clan Young Master, withdrawing from the competition, so what was the point of them still fighting? What were they persisting for?
Mu Yuan gave a long sigh and said to Mu Qingge, "The Mu Family of the Middle Ancient Realm has been quietly lying low for ten thousand years, biding its ti, all to wait for a Young Master capable of leading the clan back to their holand, but in the end, it’s all in vain."
"Not entirely in vain, following the most suitable leader can likewise reclaim the Divine Demon Continent and fulfill the ancestors’ long-cherished wish. That’s the choice of a wise person," Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow and said.
Her words made Mu Yuan and the others smile bitterly.
After a struggle in his heart and gritting his teeth, he knelt down and said to Mu Qingge, "Mu Yuan pays respects to the Young Master!"
