Chapter 903 - 338: Mu Qingge Hands Over Her Spirit Root! (3 Updates)
"Release the message to the Five Continents, and say..." She paused briefly, then sneered, "The Divine Hall is sanctimonious and unrighteous, harboring filth and corruption, treating the people like straw dogs for their selfish desires, not hesitating to provoke war. Why should we fear in Luoxing City? From today onwards, Luoxing City, I, Mu Qingge, will be irreconcilable with the Divine Hall and officially declare war! They’ve disgraced me! Deceived me! Killed me! I shall retaliate! Suppress! Destroy!"
They’ve disgraced me! Deceived me! Killed me! I shall retaliate! Suppress! Destroy!
They’ve disgraced me! Deceived me! Killed me! I shall retaliate! Suppress! Destroy!
They’ve disgraced me! Deceived me! Killed me! I shall retaliate! Suppress! Destroy!
These sixteen words were spoken with passionate zeal, resounding and iron-blooded. Those present felt their blood boil, a sense of grandness erupting from their hearts, with an impulse that couldn’t be contained.
Unanimously, everyone in the City Lord Mansion’s main hall echoed, word by word, "They’ve disgraced me! Deceived me! Killed me! I shall retaliate! Suppress! Destroy!"
"They’ve disgraced me! Deceived me! Killed me! I shall retaliate! Suppress! Destroy!"
This fervor, this feeling, made people like Mu Chen, Mu Peng, and the High Priest, who had long passed their passionate era, feel youthful again inside.
A flood of hot blood flowed within their veins, sworn to burst forth and clash with the enemies!
This kind of evocative power is uniquely Mu Qingge’s!
Often, with just a few words, she could stir everyone’s emotions, unite them wholeheartedly, making them follow her steadfastly, trust her, and fear neither heaven nor earth.
The High Priest and Mu Chen secretly looked at Mu Qingge, feeling deeply moved.
At this moment, they both silently thought to themselves: ’Is this the power of the Young Master’s destiny? Even as a woman, she is a natural leader, her existence instills confidence, making her allied forces become invincible!’
Yin Chen and Mo Yang took their orders and departed, and everyone assumed their responsibilities.
At this time, with rumors spreading, they needed to stabilize Luoxing City’s situation and prepare for the upcoming war.
Mu Qingge, accompanied by You He and Hua Yue, returned to her room.
The two considerately prepared bathwater for her and assisted her in bathing and changing clothes.
Once she finished washing up, she sat in front of the dressing table, and the two began to dress and groom her.
In truth, Mu Qingge’s styling was quite simple.
Just a simple bun, and it was done.
Hua Yue was combing Mu Qingge’s hair while You He assisted beside her.
Soon, Hua Yue grumbled disapprovingly, "That Divine Hall is too much, falsely accusing the young lord of colluding with demon cultivators. They even claim that all the murders committed by the demon cultivators are under the young lord’s orders."
Mu Qingge looked at herself in the mirror and saw Hua Yue’s indignant expression on her behalf, and she couldn’t help but smile, speaking calmly, "It’s not entirely false. You know your young lord’s chosen husband is the Master of the Demon Realm, so naturally, I have close ties with demon cultivators and the Demon Clan."
"But the young lord hasn’t ordered them to kill!" Hua Yue exclaimed.
Discussing this matter, with the Divine Hall’s vigorous attack on her ’weapon’, Mu Qingge’s eyes flashed as she instructed You He, "Go investigate, clear this matter up. How could it be so coincidental that the demon cultivators stir trouble neither sooner nor later, but precisely now?"
"Does the young lord suspect a conspiracy by the Divine Hall? That those causing trouble are actually Divine Hall people impersonating demon cultivators?" You He suddenly grasped the key point.
Mu Qingge nodded, the matter was indeed full of suspicions.
The main issue is, she knows Si Mo manages demon cultivators very strictly, and what she saw in the Divine Tomb, Huangfu Huan and Shen Bicheng were clearly their heads. They wouldn’t let demon cultivators act recklessly, nor would they cause her trouble.
"So it’s all orchestrated by the Divine Hall!" Hua Yue’s reaction wasn’t slower than You He’s. She quickly comprehended Mu Qingge’s meaning, discontentedly saying, "They even trust the Divine Hall’s hypocrites!"
Mu Qingge saw through it clearly, "Whether they believe it doesn’t matter to them; they just need an excuse to attack me, that’s all. Otherwise, how could the Divine Hall uphold such a righteous and fair position and declare war on the forces of the Middle Ancient Realm without reason?"
"Truly treacherous!" Hua Yue gritted her teeth.
"What do they ultimately want?" You He furrowed her brow.
Mu Qingge sneered, "They’re trying to use the entire Middle Ancient Realm to pressure me, wanting me to hand over the Heaven-Burning Furnace. And now, they probably have the added goal of making me submit to them, becoming a dog they keep by their side."
"That’s absolutely impossible! The young lord stands tall and strong, how could she bend beneath the knees of these hypocrites?" Hua Yue said without hesitation.
Mu Qingge curled her lips into a smile and said, "It’s nothing. Do you believe, if I were still a man today, the accusations against me would be far more than this? They’d describe me as indulging in debauchery, plundering without evil, using whatever name could incite the most public outrage."
"They wouldn’t dare!" Hua Yue’s eyes widened.
"Why wouldn’t they dare? The Divine Hall has existed in the Middle Ancient Realm for countless years, their unseen tactics must be highly experienced by now." Mu Qingge said with mockery.
"Young lord, we absolutely cannot let the Divine Hall’s hypocrites succeed! Nor can we let the world misunderstand you!" You He said seriously.
Mu Qingge stood up, turned to face the two maids, and said to them, "Whether they misunderstand or not isn’t important. What you need to do now is gather evidence quickly. I want to slap them hard across the face so that the world sees the true nature of the Divine Hall!"
"Yes, young lord!"
Hua Yue and You He responded in unison.
...
The Divine Tomb was sealed again, everything seemingly returned to peace.
Yet, a bizarre wind swiftly swept across the entire Middle Ancient Realm.
The Divine Hall wants to wage war against Luoxing City?
What’s going on?
Mu Qingge of Luoxing City colluded with the Demon Cultivators? Planning harm to all families in the Middle Ancient Realm, scheming with treachery?
What in the world is this about?
Most importantly, various incidents occurring simultaneously across all continents have gradually ignited the anger in people’s hearts, burning away their rationality. That kind of anxiety and unease makes them desperate to find an outlet to vent. And the Divine Hall has given them this opportunity.
No matter the truth, before the second version is released, Mu Qingge is the scapegoat.
However, before they could vent their fury, Luoxing City has already expressed its stance.
The matter is not as it seems at all, and everything is just the Divine Hall’s conspiracy?
This stunned the people of the Five Continents.
The three giants of the Floating Guest clans met again. Over the years, they have recognized Dragon Teeth as the new Heavenly Level Floating Guest Team. However, the current winds make them hesitate.
What they hesitate about is not anything else, but how they should choose sides.
"The Divine Hall is not as glorious as it appears; we all know that. This time it’s clashed with Luoxing City perhaps because that City Lord Mu has dared to defy the tiger, angering the Divine Hall. This battle might not end easily. What should we three do?" Xuan Yue Commander sighed.
The Giant Spirit Commander and Bailian Commander exchanged glances, the latter spoke, "What I’m worried about now is that Mo Yang of Dragon Teeth might come seeking our help. At that time, whether to help or not help, it will be very difficult."
"Yes! If we don’t help, it damages our Floating Guest clans’ reputation. If we do help, we will be enemies of the Divine Hall, this..." the Giant Spirit Commander showed an expression of difficulty.
This problem is indeed troubling.
Because they are all Floating Guests, with no family support behind them. The reason the Floating Guest Realm can prosper and last so long, making many families unable to underestimate it, is because of unity.
No matter if they know each other or have grudges privately, as long as there’s an external enemy, they unite against it.
This unity and loyalty is what makes the Floating Guest teams substantial.
If they break this rule this time, the decline of the Floating Guest clans might begin.
However, since the opponent is the Divine Hall, this makes the three giants hesitate. The Divine Hall is not something ordinary people can provoke.
At this moment, they all secretly hate Mu Qingge.
Blaming her for going and angering the Divine Hall!
"With the situation unclear, let’s temporarily hold our forces and see what the next move from both sides will be. Hopefully, this battle won’t erupt, so we don’t have to be so hard-pressed." Xuan Yue Commander said.
...
Many families among the Five Continents are watching quietly.
They all know, the winds on the continent have stirred, and who knows how much bloodshed will be unleashed this time.
Yet, as everyone watches, with rumors and unrest among the crowd spreading, a new message quietly appears.
’It’s said, the City Lord of Luoxing, Mu Qingge, possesses five Spirit Roots!’
’It’s said, those who obtain the Spirit Roots and enter the Divine Demon Continent will further their cultivation!’
Five Spirit Roots!
Five Spirit Roots!
This message immediately shocked the entire Middle Ancient Realm, even stirring many transcendent old masters.
Among these people, some had entered the Divine Tomb, only without a chance to contact Mu Qingge; they saw the signs of tribulation transcendance in the Divine Tomb that day, but did not know that person was Mu Qingge.
Some people, due to lack of Spirit Roots, lost the thought of entering the Divine Tomb. Or due to certain reasons, missed the opportunity to enter the Divine Tomb. This message appeared, bringing them new hope.
Since Mu Qingge possesses five Spirit Roots, and has entered the Divine Tomb, she must have obtained Divine Status! Whether Spirit Roots or Divine Status, snatching them would allow them to enter the Divine Demon Continent.
Hundreds of transcendant old masters swarm suddenly to Luoxing City.
Before this, perhaps no one knew that even among the Middle Ancient Realm, so many Golden Realm transcendant old masters exist.
Hundreds of transcendant old masters move together, even the peak warriors of Golden Realm Sixth Layer have to shrink their necks and tuck their tails, cautiously behave!
And they all rushed towards Luoxing City...
The target is only one, and that is Mu Qingge!
"Mu Qingge, hand over the Spirit Roots!"
"Hand over the Spirit Roots, and the Divine Status too, and I’ll spare your life!"
"Mu Qingge, hurry and hand the Spirit Roots and Divine Status to an old fellow like me, and I can begrudgingly fulfill a wish for you."
"If you give me the Spirit Roots, I can help you oppose the Divine Hall."
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
"Yes, yes! Hand over the Spirit Roots, and I’ll fight your war, if not, I’ll go help the Divine Hall!"
