Chapter 905 - 340: The Great Encirclement! Trap! (Double Update)
"Fifty years ago, in the West Continent, a hundred families were annihilated overnight. The incident was caused by... Yin Xiuping, a Divine Disciple of the West Continent Divine Hall, failing to flirt with a young lady from one of the families... In anger, he led the hall’s assassins, disguised as mountain bandits, to massacre the family... Someone witnessed this at the time but was later assassinated at home..."
"...Forty-eight years ago, in Fuhu City of the East Continent, the three major families inexplicably fought each other. On the same day, the high-ranking members of the families were all brutally killed. Later, all three families were annihilated, and the treasured Nine Bends Lotus fell into the hands of the East Continent Divine Hall..."
"...Thirty-eight years ago, in various cities of the Northern Continent, nearly a thousand women disappeared within three months, their fates unknown. A year later, someone saw a woman resembling one of the missing in the continent’s divine halls. Her family went to the hall to search for her but were given excuses and turned away. Three days later, her family members suddenly died, the cause unknown..."
"Thirty-seven years ago..."
"Thirty-three years ago..."
"...Thirty years ago, in the Southern Continent, the prestigious Kong Clan displayed their family treasure, the Soul Departing Light Flower Bell... A month later, the entire clan disappeared... The Soul Departing Light Flower Bell vanished... It was actually hidden in the treasury of the Central Continent Divine Hall."
"..."
"Twenty-seven years ago, the divine hall intended to arrange a marriage between the Hua and Ying Families of the Central Continent. However, the young masters and mistresses of the two families each had someone they loved and were unwilling to compromise. Their loved ones were abducted by the divine hall, the men were castrated and died in humiliation, the women were ravished and ashamed, committed suicide..."
"Twenty-five years ago, the Shangguan Family stumbled upon a treasure, leading to their complete annihilation, and this exotic treasure, the Rising Dragon Embroidery Sound Bottle, was publicly welcomed into the divine hall under the guise of a gift from the Divine Clan..."
"Twenty-two years ago..."
"Twenty-one years ago..."
"Nineteen years ago, the West Continent Divine Hall took a particular piece of land, claiming it was favored by the gods. The original owner did not comply and that night died suddenly at home, and the entire family was inexplicably turned into slaves, branded with words on their faces..."
"..."
"Ten years ago..."
"Seven years ago, divine halls of each continent, under the pretext of offerings, forcefully took numerous families’ treasures, ordering everyone to pay a Spirit Stone as redemption for their sins. Otherwise, they would no longer be blessed by the gods, abandoned by them. Some refused, and a few days later, they died violently, their deaths brutal, causing widespread panic among the people..."
"Five years ago..."
"Four years ago, in the Nine Springs Cave, the City Lord of Luoxing City, Mu Qingge, was attacked by assassins but exterminated them all after a fierce battle... Four years ago, during the battle at Ruishui River, she was hunted again... One year ago, upon emerging from Ruishui River, she was ambushed again... Three and a half months ago, in the Divine Tomb, the divine hall once again sent assassins to besiege... Half a month ago, after leaving the Divine Tomb, in the western suburbs of Sky City, City Lord Mu was ambushed again..."
"...Half a month ago, as the Divine Tomb closed, the Five Continents suddenly saw demon cultivators wreaking havoc across the Central Continent. The divine hall pointed fingers at the City Lord of Luoxing City, Mu Qingge, unaware that the chaotic assassins across the Five Continents came from within the divine hall. These include... Ji Yingwu, Jiang Lianggong, Hao Feizhang, Zeng Yichun, Nie Xiangrong... Ji Deyuan, Wen Yuan, Yong Ping, Wu Chang..."
Each case, every incident, had time, place, and people involved, and the listed evidence didn’t seem to be fabricated from thin air.
The severity of these accusations left those who came to denounce Mu Qingge stunned on the spot, at a loss.
Those old monsters at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, upon reading this, just smiled coldly and closed their eyes. With their current level of cultivation, their greatest wish was to enter the Divine Demon Continent. What did the divine hall matter to them?
"These... these things, I’ve heard some rumors about them, but they were never resolved. Could there really be such a deep-seated conspiracy?" someone in the denunciation entourage exclaimed in shock.
"Are these true or false?" someone questioned.
"If true, then has the divine hall been deceiving the world all these years? If false, then how is this so detailed and clear? Thinking back to some details that didn’t match before, now it all makes sense when these evidences are put together."
"Damn it! Who should we believe?"
"Is the divine hall really this filthy? Have they really been deceiving the world?"
"Could it be rumors spread by Luoxing City?"
"Rumors? Think calmly, why didn’t we feel that the City Lord Mu had a problem before? How did it suddenly become like this? Is she really that foolish to expose her identity?"
"So should we still denounce or not?"
"Denounce what? We can’t be so stupid as to be used without knowing it! Since everything here is well-founded, we might as well go back, secretly investigate and verify, and talk after. If later we discover that it was Luoxing City spreading rumors to deceive us and insult the divine hall, we will certainly come back and bring this city down!"
"Yes! Let’s go, we’re heading back!"
"Let’s go, back!"
The mighty group that came to denounce waited for a while outside the city walls of Luoxing City before turning to leave.
Mu Qingge stood inside the city wall, hands behind her back, watching this scene with a calm expression.
Hua Yue stood behind her, asking in a low voice, "Little Lord, will they turn against the divine hall?"
Mu Qingge smiled faintly, shook her head, and said, "In this fight, we are evenly matched with the divine hall. If there really is a winner, we might have a slight edge. After all, we’ve dug up their dirty past from fifty years ago. They tell lies, but I speak the truth. As for these people, they won’t oppose the divine hall because they don’t dare. At most, they will no longer believe in it."
"At least, it reduces our troubles. Otherwise, dealing with those used by the divine hall would have been a hassle," Hua Yue said.
Mu Qingge nodded almost imperceptibly.
After a moment, a gleam flashed in her eyes as she sneered, "This is our first confrontation with the divine hall. They have one more move, and it’s about time to counteract that."
"One more move?" Hua Yue asked, puzzled.
Mu Qingge turned her eyes towards her, with a half-smile, said: "Do you think, who spread the news that I possess five types of Spirit Roots, making it escalate so quickly, alarming those old monsters hidden in deep mountains?"
"The Divine Hall!" Hua Yue immediately understood with Mu Qingge’s reminder. "This damnable Divine Hall!"
Mu Qingge chuckled and said: "The Divine Hall arranged two sides for me, trying to use other forces to suppress me and extinguish my prestige, how could I let them succeed?"
"Young Master, what do you plan to do?" Hua Yue curiously inquired.
Mu Qingge revealed a mysterious smile, raising her gaze to the sky, and said lightly: "Wait a few more days, let the actions of the Divine Hall be widely known, then I will take action." She wants to wait for the incident to ferment, so the Divine Hall will be too busy to handle these messes, allowing her to focus on dealing with those ambitious old monsters.
These crimes of the Divine Hall will not affect the old monsters in any way, Mu Qingge was very aware of this.
Nor does she need these old monsters to be affected, what she wants is to make them dare not come after her anymore.
"Young Master, there are letters from the West Continent, Northern Continent, East Continent, and Southern Continent." Mu Chen brought some letters to Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge opened and looked, they were all concerns and inquiries from friends and family. Ji Yaohua, Ying Ze, Yao Xinghai, even the Sheng Family, and others. King Sang Shun even wrote to tell her, directly letting the Supreme Elder venture out, bringing the family disciples towards Luoxing City to fight alongside Mu Qingge.
These concerns warmed Mu Qingge’s heart a bit.
At this time, Xie Ya also came over to Mu Qingge and said: "Young Master, Wei Molili has arrived. A message from Dragon Teeth came, the Liege Guest Team is also heading to Luoxing City."
Wei Molili actually appeared in Luoxing City?
This surprised Mu Qingge, but after some thought, she found it reasonable. After all, this guy always felt he owed her a debt, wanting to repay it.
As for the Fierce Song Guard...
’Qin Yiyao.’ Mu Qingge’s eyes darkened slightly. In fact, she didn’t wish for Qin Yiyao to get involved in this messy situation.
...
Central Continent, Sky City, Divine Hall.
"Outrageous!" The Divine Venerable’s face was full of anger, his gaze sinister and terrifying.
At his feet, a person knelt, and before that person, a pile of papers was scattered across the ground.
The content on these papers was the same as that on the two pieces of silk hanging outside Luoxing City. The only difference was that the handwriting was much smaller.
"Tell me, how did they know about these things?" The Divine Venerable angrily said.
The person kneeling dared not speak, trembling all over.
"Moreover, they actually came to Sky City to spread these things, and you are even more stupid, you didn’t even catch anyone!" The Divine Venerable really wished to kill the person in front of him a hundred times to vent his anger.
"Divine Venerable! Something terrible has happened!"
He was reprimanding someone when another person rushed in with a panicked expression. As soon as he entered, he fell to the ground, whether unintentionally tripped or done on purpose was unknown. Then, simply knelt and moved forward, urgently saying: "Divine Venerable, something terrible has happened! The four continents, east, south, west, north, all received such..."
He didn’t finish his sentence, stunned.
Because he realized that the papers scattered on the ground seemed to be the same as the ones he was holding, and seeing the expression of the Divine Venerable, he couldn’t help but shrink his neck, closed his mouth, and tried hard to reduce his presence.
It seemed he came in at the wrong time!
"Useless! A bunch of useless people!" The Divine Venerable could no longer endure, explosive energy burst from his body, shattering everything in the hall into pieces.
...
In the dark night, a shadow rapidly flashed out of Luoxing City, fleeing into the distance.
As soon as this figure appeared, it was noticed by a Transcendance Tribulation Stage old monster hidden outside Luoxing City, who curled up his lips into a cold smile, moved and followed along.
As he moved, it seemed the surrounding auras were drawn, and those old monsters surrounding Luoxing City moved, chasing in the direction that figure headed.
In everyone’s heart, they were sneering.
Everyone wants to monopolize, everyone wants to seize the first opportunity, but the first opportunity is not that easy to seize!
In the dark, one by one, shadows chased on, rushing into the deep mountains behind Luoxing City. They chased each other, and the Transcendance Tribulation Stage old monster who was ahead was secretly resentmentful.
It was originally the piece of fat in his mouth, now it was going to be shared by others!
He did not doubt that the extremely fast-moving figure in front was Mu Qingge. Because he had long locked onto Mu Qingge’s aura, someone can disguise their appearance, but not their aura.
His eyes flashed with a fierce light, glanced back at those chasing behind him, gritted his teeth, accelerated his pace, and pursued the person ahead.
He was thinking in his heart, ’How could her speed be so fast!’
