Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

’Her speed is so fast!’

Not only the old monster closely following Mu Qingge was astonished, but the other pursuers were also shocked in their hearts.

In front, a slender and tall figure could be seen sprinting through the night. She truly looked as if she were running for her life, and the more urgent the chase, the faster she seemed to run.

Mu Qingge ran ahead, a faint cold curve on her lips.

Reaching the edge of a cliff, she paused for a moment.

This pause made the people behind her excited, speeding up even more.

She swept with the corner of her eye, sensing those people closing in. When the distance was about right, she suddenly leaped with all her strength, jumping off the cliff in the eyes of hundreds of old monsters.

"How dare you!"

The first old monster chasing her roared with his eyes about to burst.

Without thinking too much, he also charged forward without hesitation, following Mu Qingge’s figure and jumped off the cliff. He wasn’t worried about Mu Qingge’s life, but he was concerned that Mu Qingge’s ’recklessness’ would damage her Spirit Root.

These old monsters had long regarded Mu Qingge’s Spirit Root and Divine Status as their own possessions, so how could they let her mess around?

"What’s going on? Why did she jump off?"

The pursuing old monsters stopped at the cliff edge. They were astonished by Mu Qingge’s action. Did she really escape from Luoxing City just to come here and jump off a cliff?

"Even for one in the Golden Realm, jumping down won’t result in death. Moreover, she has already gone through a Heavenly Tribulation. This small cliff can’t take her life!"

"Is it possible she wants to use this opportunity to disappear?"

"Such deceitful tricks are too inferior. Let’s chase after her!"

"Yes! Let’s chase!"

"Chase her!"

"Wait a minute. We can chase, but how do we share once we get her?" someone suggested.

At this moment, someone got impatient and said unhappily, "By the time you sort it out, she would have been taken away by that guy following her down!"

His words made many others anxious too.

But the one who proposed the negotiation persisted, "Then let’s quickly clarify."

"What do you want!" said the one who was stopped, increasingly dissatisfied.

Yet, if they were to fight, no result would come out in a short while, only wasting more time. After some thought, it was better to clarify quickly for convenience.

"Why don’t we agree that whoever captures her can decide. Those who want a share of the Spirit Root must offer a treasure in exchange. How about that?" The person said with a cold smile.

"Good! Let’s do it this way!"

"Agreed!"

"This idea is not bad!"

Afraid that Mu Qingge would escape too far, and worried someone else might claim her first, they quickly agreed. Then, the group all jumped off the cliff one by one, continuing the pursuit.

When they landed at the bottom of the cliff, they were suddenly aware that the bottom was an enclosed valley. Surrounded by towering cliffs and trees, the only exit was about one person wide.

They landed and lost sight of Mu Qingge. While searching around, they saw a figure quickly flash past.

"There!" someone exclaimed with bright eyes, immediately chasing after it.

Once he moved, the others followed suit, all chasing after the figure.

However, when they caught up to the shadow, they realized it wasn’t Mu Qingge at all but the person who had jumped after her.

"Where is she?" someone demanded on the spot.

The old monster who had jumped with Mu Qingge was extremely frustrated; he clearly followed her down, but at the bottom of the valley, she was nowhere to be seen.

Asked by someone, he replied impatiently, "How should I know?"

"You don’t know? But you jumped right after her," unfortunately, the pursuing ones did not believe him.

That old monster was infuriated, "I didn’t see her after I came down. I’m also searching. Believe it or not."

At this moment, the man who had previously suggested the distribution of the Spirit Root stepped out again, smiling as he asked, "Could it be that you caught her and hid her away to keep her for yourself?"

His words immediately directed everyone’s suspicion onto that old monster.

Suddenly, their gazes turned unfriendly.

He continued, "We agreed earlier that whoever captured her would own the surplus Spirit Root. Anyone else wanting it must exchange something precious."

The old monster who had pursued Mu Qingge jumped down, his eyes turned cold, sneering, "What’s the point of saying this now? Let’s talk once we capture her."

"I mean to say, please hand her over," the man said still in a seemingly friendly manner, although his eyes gleamed with calculative intent.

"That’s right! Hand her over."

"Hurry and hand her over, or don’t blame us for using force!"

"Hand her over, or you won’t leave here today."

Everyone spoke up.

They were all old monsters at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. If they really fought, they wouldn’t be afraid of a one-on-one; however, if besieged, it would be dangerous.

While others were besieging, that smiling, slow-talking man stayed quiet, backing off two steps. His watchful, smug look made people want to punch him.

The surrounded old monster was furious enough to kill, shouting at the others, "There’s nothing! If I had caught her, would I still waste time here?"

"Then do you dare to swear?" the man asked at the right moment.

The surrounded one fiercely glared at that man, gritting his teeth, "Fine! I swear! If I’m hiding the City Lord of Luoxing, may my cultivation be completely dispersed, and may I die a miserable death!"

Swearing such a vicious oath finally brought silence to the surroundings.

By this time, the sky was brightening, and the night receded.

The appearance of each became clearer, and the surroundings reflected crystal clear in their eyes.

This was a valley bottom, surrounded by dense trees, with a faint white fog lingering between them. Such morning fog wasn’t uncommon in the dense forest. None of them, including the cunning old monster, grew suspicious.

They looked around and found that, except for themselves, there wasn’t anyone else.

If there were others, even if they could escape their eyes, they couldn’t possibly escape their Spiritual Sense.

"Where are the people?" someone asked in confusion.

The Transcendance Tribulation Stage elders who came to Luoxing City to besiege Mu Qingge had all chased here. Hundreds stood at the valley bottom, repeatedly sweeping with their Spiritual Sense, but found nothing.

"Did she escape through the exit while we were talking?" someone speculated.

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold snort came from the elder who had chased after Mu Qingge. It seemed he was blaming them; if not for their mistakes, he would have found Mu Qingge.

"Don’t rush. This is the mountain range near Luoxing City. She is the City Lord of Luoxing City and should naturally be more familiar with this place than us. However, even if she’s familiar, escaping right under our noses is impossible. Since the valley is empty, let’s go to the exit and see if there are any clues," the shrewd elder suggested.

His proposal received approval from the majority. Even those few who opposed it yielded to the majority, unable to come up with a better plan.

Thus, hundreds of Tribulation Stage elders grandly headed toward the valley’s exit.

However, when they stepped out, the scenery in front of them suddenly shifted. The lush green valley turned into a desert Gobi, the only unchanged thing being the valley’s appearance. They still stood in the valley, and the exit, only wide enough for one person, remained within their view.

"What’s happening?"

"Where is this?"

"We were clearly in the forest, how did this scene appear!"

Even though they’ve lived for thousands of years, they’ve never encountered something so strange.

"It’s not right! It seems we’ve barged into some Array Formation Restriction!" The shrewd elder’s eyes flickered a few times, then darkened.

"Array Formation Restriction!"

"There’s an Array Formation Restriction here!"

Panic settled among the elders. Even though they were extremely powerful, they had a glaring weakness in Array Formation Restrictions. It should be said that Array Formation Restrictions were a weakness for everyone in the Middle Ancient Realm.

On the high peak outside the valley, Mu Qingge stood with her hands behind her back, looking down at the scene in the valley, letting the breeze brush against her face. Beside her stood Hou.

Hou’s gaze fell on the shrewd elder, and he chuckled, "Didn’t think there was a smart one among this group. Figured out the trap you set so quickly."

Mu Qingge remained unmoved, displaying a faint smile, "What does it matter if they’ve found it? The key is whether they can break it."

"I don’t understand; this is your stronghold. Why not just kill them off directly? Even if you’re worried about lacking power on our side, you could use the Array to assist by setting up a killing formation. Yet now, you’ve just trapped them..." Hou asked puzzledly.

Mu Qingge merely chuckled and said meaningfully, "Killing them would be too wasteful."

"Wasteful? Are you worried that killing them would deplete the strength of the Middle Ancient Realm?" Hou taunted.

Mu Qingge smiled and shook her head, offering no further explanation.

The grand array below was what she learned in the Divine Tomb after lifting the restriction on Array Mountain. Once you fully grasp the principles of an array, you can set up formation restrictions as you please. In the month she spent in Array Mountain, she mastered the essence of array principles.

Using it live now was worth all the time spent a month in Array Mountain.

Using herself as bait to lure these Tribulation Stage elders was merely part of her next plan.

"Damn it!" In the valley, the people were trapped. The shrewd elder cursed and told the others, "It’s likely from the start, we’ve fallen for that wretched woman’s scheme!"

"What do you mean?" someone asked.

His expression turned sinister, "That wretched woman used herself as bait to draw us from outside the city here, then pretended to jump off the cliff, leading us to willingly enter the Array Formation Restriction."

His interpretation immediately brought enlightenment to the hundreds of elders.

At their age, none of them were fools.

Now, realizing they’ve been played by Mu Qingge, their anger surged wildly.

"Damn it! Once I get out of here, I’m going to destroy Luoxing City to vent my anger!"

"That vile girl must be around, watching us make fools of ourselves. We have to get out; we can’t be trapped here."

"Let’s go! We must get out!"

Fueled by impulse, many rushed toward the exit.

The shrewd elder quickly stopped them, blocking them with outstretched arms, "Calm down, everyone. Since this is an array, we mustn’t force our way through."

"What brilliant plan do you have now?"

"Who exactly are you?"

Some started doubting the shrewd elder’s identity.

However, before he could introduce himself, someone said, "I know, he’s the scholar known for calculating everything eight hundred years ago, nicknamed the Heavenly Mechanism Scholar of the Southern Continent, Song Tianji."

Heavenly Mechanism Scholar, Song Tianji!

"Calculating everything..." Mu Qingge murmured under her breath.

Though she seemed far away from the valley, she could clearly sense everyone’s movements, expressions, and conversations down there.

Immediately, information about Song Tianji surfaced in her mind. This Song Tianji hadn’t appeared in the list Han Caicai sent but did appear in the documents concerning the unscrupulous matters of the Divine Hall, and in the list of elders besieging Luoxing City.

At the time, she paid special attention to him.

She remembered, Song Tianji gained fame eight hundred years ago, when he was just twenty. Born into an ordinary background, yet he outsmarted countless others. Relying on his calculations, he forged a path through without anyone daring to provoke him, and in just eight hundred years, he became a Tribulation Stage elder and had already faced two Heavenly Tribulations.

Compared to the other elders, he was truly too young.

In the valley, faced with many elders’ surprised expressions, Song Tianji cupped his hands and said, "It’s no big deal. For now, let’s focus on how to break the array."

"What brilliant plan do you have, Mr. Heavenly Mechanism?" Knowing his identity, many softened their attitude.

After all, Song Tianji’s reputation was well-known; they couldn’t out-calculate him, nor could they know if he was quietly plotting against them.

Song Tianji scanned the area, noticing the faint white fog drifting. Curious, he recalled that he had seen white fog earlier in the forest and valley. Yet the presence here of white fog...

Unable to guess, he tucked the doubt away and addressed the crowd, "Let’s spread out, act cautiously, and test the array’s power."

"Okay!"

Hundreds dispersed, moved apart, and began to take action...
