Chapter 890 - 325: The Major Counterattack! (Double Update)
"Dragon Bloodshed." Elder Long Sheng gazed at the giant dragon bones ahead, his voice solemn.
"Is there Dragon Bloodshed here as well?" Yao Xinghai asked in astonishment.
Ji Yaohua frowned and asked in confusion, "Why are there so many Dragon Bloodsheds in the Divine Tomb? Killing so many from the Dragon Clan, aren’t they afraid of the Dragon Clan seeking revenge? Moreover, why set up so many Dragon Bloodsheds here, what are they protecting?"
"Dragon Bloodshed is a place of great misfortune, we should avoid it." Xi Qianxue suggested.
However, at this moment, Ying Ze’s eyes suddenly brightened, pointing to another side, he said to everyone, "Look over there, who is that?"
The group turned and looked in the direction he pointed.
It was on the other side of the giant dragon bones, a distance away, in their sight, merely some tiny dots. Yet, among them, one ’dot’ was exceptionally dazzling, seemingly a person dressed in blood-red clothes.
In their memories, the one who loved to wear red clothes and always did so was only Mu Qingge!
"Is it Qingge!" Xi Qianxue said excitedly.
"Whether it is or not, let’s go over and take a look!" Ji Yaohua proposed.
Yao Xinghai looked at Elder Long Sheng.
The latter understood and nodded, "Since the person we are looking for might have appeared, naturally we need to go and see."
With unanimous agreement, they immediately headed in that direction.
At the same time, another group was also heading towards Mu Qingge, but with a different purpose, their search for her was indeed for...
"Dragon Bloodshed? Another Dragon Bloodshed. What is the intention behind having so many Dragon Bloodsheds in the Divine Tomb?" Mu Qingge murmured with a frown.
Standing beside her, Huangfu Huan spoke after hearing her words, "There’s Dragon Bloodshed in the Demon Tomb as well."
"In the Demon Tomb too?" Mu Qingge looked at him in surprise.
Huangfu Huan nodded affirmatively. He turned to Shen Bicheng and said to Mu Qingge, "Not only did I see it, but Shen the Madman also noticed it. I think almost all Demon Cultivators entering the Demon Tomb have witnessed it. I myself have seen three instances."
"Who has set up such a deadly land? What is the purpose?" Mu Qingge wondered aloud.
Huangfu Huan shook his head, "Whether in the Divine Tomb or the Demon Tomb, for the Demon Clan and Divine Clan of the Divine Demon Continent, they are merely graves. They don’t need to look for Divine Status or Demon Spirit here; they aren’t particularly concerned about anything inside."
Mu Qingge nodded.
Indeed, it’s logical. The Divine Clan and Demon Clan’s understanding of their ancestors’ burial sites might even be less than others from different realms. Even if a long time ago, there were explanations for Dragon Bloodshed, it’s likely that they have been forgotten due to the passage of time.
"Mu Qingge, you finally appeared!"
A familiar voice echoed from behind, prompting Mu Qingge to turn around.
The hundreds of Demon Cultivators following her also turned simultaneously, their eyes icy cold as they looked at the dozens of people appearing in their sight.
Hundreds of Demon Cultivators, dozens of Divine Hall assassins, a ratio that made the leader’s eyes narrow.
Previously focused solely on seeking Mu Qingge’s whereabouts, he hadn’t noticed the identity of those accompanying her. Now, seeing clearly, his heart skipped a beat.
Not only because of the Demon Cultivators present here, but also because several among them had auras far surpassing his!
’How could Mu Qingge be mixed with Demon Cultivators?’ the leader was stunned internally.
He stiffened his face, his eyes filled with vigilance.
Seeing him, Mu Qingge smirked playfully. With her hands behind her back, she sauntered towards him. "I haven’t had time to settle scores with you, yet you’ve delivered yourself to my door. If I don’t kill you, I’d feel somewhat ill at ease."
Mu Qingge’s words made the leader’s eyes widen abruptly.
He sensed something was off! Mu Qingge’s composure made him inexplicably uneasy. Especially as he was stared down by hundreds of Demon Cultivators’ cold eyes, a chilling feeling arose from within him and his subordinates.
"Hmph, you think you can kill me? I advise you to surrender obediently and come back with me." The leader suppressed the unease within, eyeing Mu Qingge with a squint.
"Impudent!"
Yet before Mu Qingge spoke, a Transcendance Tribulation Stage Demon Cultivator reprimanded sharply. "Where did this mudfish come from, daring to spew nonsense here!"
Hostile towards the Divine Hall’s assassins, yet when looking at Mu Qingge, his gaze was full of flattery.
Mu Qingge found it amusing. Demon, unfettered by desires, true to its nature is demon. To Mu Qingge, this ’demon’ word is much more free-spirited, without the constraints of the divine.
The Transcendance Tribulation Stage Demon Cultivator’s attempts to ingratiate himself due to her status, is it not also part of one’s nature?
Today, even without these hundreds of Demon Cultivators, Mu Qingge was confident she could retaliate. Don’t forget, she also has two Divine Demon Puppets. Previously, she intended to hone her skills, so she refrained from using this trump card unless at the brink. However, if her intention was to kill, she wouldn’t hide it.
Now, with hundreds of Demon Cultivators at her side obeying her, there’s no need to expose her trump card.
The leader from the Divine Hall, shaken by the reprimand from the Demon Cultivator, had his expression change drastically. In a deep voice, he said, "This unexpected situation allowed certain areas of the Divine Tomb and Demon Tomb to overlap, providing us with the chance to meet. But, this doesn’t imply that Demon Cultivators can meddle in the affairs of God Cultivators. If you wish to avoid unnecessary trouble, it’s best you step aside."
Yet, once he finished speaking.
The hundreds of Demon Cultivators didn’t retreat, instead, they stepped forward, surrounding Mu Qingge, coldly eyeing the dozens.
This situation made him involuntarily take a step back, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.
He glanced at Mu Qingge, sternly saying, "Mu Qingge, how dare you collude with the Demon Cultivators!"
Mu Qingge merely offered him a mocking smile and ordered in a deep voice, "Kill them all, leave no one alive."
As the princess commanded, how could the Demon Cultivators dare to disobey?
Half of the Demon Cultivators charged forward directly, their expressions fierce and wild. As if finally unleashed by nature, like mad beasts, they rushed into the flock.
Even the assassins, who were used to killing, were intimidated and felt a sense of fear.
The other half of the Demon Cultivators remained stationary, enclosing around Mu Qingge. Their respect and obedience stemmed from within, not driven by profit.
The leader of the Divine Hall felt extremely surprised, unable to comprehend what methods Mu Qingge used to win over these Demon Cultivators and make them follow her orders.
He was besieged by two Transcendance Tribulation Stage Demon Cultivators, forced into passive defense.
In the midst of the battle, he threatened Mu Qingge fiercely, "Daring to collude with Demon Cultivators, once you leave the Divine Tomb, you will surely be hunted and executed by the Divine Hall."
Mu Qingge sneered, dismissively saying, "Divine Hall? Sooner or later, I’ll tear down the Divine Hall, destroy its legacy. It’s just a pity that you won’t see that day."
"Mu Qingge—!" shouted the leader. His body was then torn apart, dying a tragic death.
The assassins of the Divine Hall were brutally slaughtered. It wasn’t that they were too weak; rather, they faced too many Demon Cultivators, who coincidentally were not lacking in skill.
The sound of their screams before death, to Mu Qingge, was like heavenly music.
Mu Qingge reveled in these screams, displaying a look of pleasure.
Huangfu Huan teased, "I think you’re more suited for Demon Cultivation." Although it was a joke, it was his genuine belief. He truly thought Mu Qingge’s nature was more fitting for Demon Cultivation.
Mu Qingge smiled, "Be it gods or demons, it’s just a matter of will. What does it have to do with cultivation techniques?"
In an instant, the assassins of the Divine Hall were completely eliminated.
At that moment, Ji Yaohua and the others also arrived.
"Qingge?"
When they saw Mu Qingge standing amidst the demons, with the scene drenched in blood, they were somewhat shocked.
Mu Qingge turned her eyes to them, raised her hand to stop the Demon Cultivators about to act, "You’re here." Her expression showed no avoidance, only openness.
"What... is happening?" Ji Yaohua asked blankly.
At this moment, Xi Qianxue noticed something amiss. Her eyes narrowed, and she exclaimed, "Divine Hall’s people!"
"Indeed, assassins sent by the Divine Hall," Wei Molili said softly. He was almost certain that if it weren’t for him staying with others, he might have been targeted too.
"They tried to kill me, so I killed them," Mu Qingge explained the situation with the simplest sentence.
All around, silence suddenly descended.
Mu Qingge stood afar, offering no further explanation, awaiting their reaction.
To those who trust her, no explanation is necessary, as they naturally believe. To those who don’t, why should she explain?
After a moment, Ji Yaohua took a deep breath and said to Mu Qingge, "Qingge, why does the Divine Hall want to kill you? It’s okay if you don’t want to say, but remember, I’m on your side no matter what!"
He glanced at the Demon Cultivators but didn’t ask further.
Just as Mu Qingge demonstrated, if you trust her, no questions are needed.
"Qingge, what are your plans?" The one who asked was Yao Xinghai. Because he knew why the Divine Hall’s people wouldn’t let go of Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge smiled lightly, "Everything will be discussed after we leave here."
After speaking, she looked at Long Sheng, an elder, showing a faintly mocking expression.
Long Sheng, after arriving, had been silent. His gaze intersected with Mu Qingge’s, his expression complex. He couldn’t quite understand Mu Qingge.
Especially...
"Qingge, your forehead!" At this moment, Ji Yaohua finally emerged from the bloody scene, noticing Mu Qingge’s forehead.
With his reminder, Xi Qianxue, Yao Xinghai, Ying Ze, and Wei Molili all looked at Mu Qingge’s forehead.
When they saw the symbol on her brow, their eyes suddenly narrowed.
That exquisite lotus with five colors made them instantly understand something!
Even Xuxu, beside Long Sheng, was shocked, covering her mouth with both hands, looking at Mu Qingge incredulously.
At this point, Long Sheng supported his Dragon Head Staff, stepped forward, and sighed, saying to Mu Qingge, "You indeed are a person of great destiny. Five Spirit Roots, rare among millions, something unheard of for tens of thousands of years, yet it’s manifested in you."
