Chapter 1006: Chapter 91: It’s There After All!! (28 Updates)

A powerful presence swiftly swept in from afar.

Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed, and she unhesitatingly took a step, entering space. Just as she disappeared, the figure of the Wuhua God Emperor appeared directly on the grassland.

Behind him, the Maze Guards followed closely.

Through the God-piercing Mirror, Mu Qingge could see the Wuhua God Emperor’s nervous expression.

He didn’t first go to find the intruder; instead, he came here directly, showing that this place was indeed important to him.

However, inside the Little Leaf Pavilion, besides a female corpse of the Beast Clan, there was nothing else. Why was the Wuhua God Emperor so nervous?

"Could it be... he is nervous about that female corpse?" Mu Qingge speculated in her heart.

That female corpse looked exactly like Chu Nian, and the Wuhua God Emperor was so anxious.

That said...

An answer appeared in Mu Qingge’s mind.

Of course, this was the Wuhua God Emperor’s family affair, and she wasn’t particularly interested in knowing.

"Guard this place, if anyone intrudes, kill without mercy," the Wuhua God Emperor instructed coldly.

"Yes!"

Before the words of the ten Maze Guards who followed were completely spoken, the Wuhua God Emperor instantaneously teleported into the One Leaf Pavilion at the heart of the lake.

In space, Mu Qingge held the God-piercing Mirror, slowly moving, observing the scene outside. Since Mu Tianyin was already exposed and the Wuhua God Emperor realized it, he would certainly conduct a thorough search. She needed to return to the side hall immediately to avoid arousing suspicion.

Mu Qingge imagined Mu Tianyin’s appearance in her mind, and the situation surrounding Mu Tianyin instantly appeared in the God-piercing Mirror.

He seemed to be trapped in a forbidden technique, discovered by the Maze Guards, and was already engaged in battle.

However, Mu Tianyin’s skills were numerous, and after observing for a while, Mu Qingge guessed that the Maze Guards couldn’t hold him back.

’The Wuhua God Emperor has now entered the Little Leaf Pavilion, and the exit door is wide open. If I don’t leave now, then when?’ Mu Qingge thought to herself.

Immediately, she exited the space, and in an instant, dashed out through the entrance, disappearing before the Maze Guards.

"Did a gust of wind just blow by?"

"No! It must have been an illusion."

The Maze Guards exchanged a couple of puzzled words but didn’t become suspicious.

Mu Qingge was extremely fast; she wasn’t using the speed of the wind because she didn’t have a Wind Spirit Root. However, she did have a Space Spiritual Root, so her instantaneous teleportation was achieved through spatial jumps, allowing her to disappear before these guards swiftly.

Entering the maze is difficult, but leaving is easy.

Besides, at this moment, with Mu Tianyin’s kind assistance in drawing away the attention of the Maze Guards, Mu Qingge easily escaped the Nine Curves Maze, and then headed straight for her residence in the side hall.

And as she left, Mu Tianyin was also forced to use a special Escape Technique, disappearing in the maze and reappearing in front of Mu Lin and Mu Shan, who were waiting outside.

These two were resisting the approaching Wuhua Palace people.

Mu Tianyin’s sudden appearance brought joy to both, and they immediately gathered around him.

At this time, Chu Nian led people in pursuit; not wanting to encounter her, Mu Tianyin said to the two, "Let’s go."

Then, he took out a life-saving device given by the Tianlu Creators and threw it at their feet. In an instant, it burst out with a golden light, enveloping the three and making them disappear before Chu Nian and her followers.

Chu Nian led her people to this spot, but they found nothing.

Among the three figures standing here earlier, one seemed familiar, yet she couldn’t recall where she had seen him before.

Having let them get away, Chu Nian’s eyes darkened and she ordered, "Chase them."

At her command, the disciples from the Wuhua Domain behind her immediately split off a group to chase down the mountain.

Just as they left, the Wuhua God Emperor appeared before Chu Nian.

"Father," Chu Nian approached to greet him.

The Wuhua God Emperor’s face was expressionless, his eyes full of anger. He instructed Chu Nian, "Shut down all exits immediately, search the entire Wuhua Palace, leave no place unturned."

"Yes, Father." Sensing her father’s anger, Chu Nian responded immediately, turning to leave with her people.

The Wuhua God Emperor stood in place, his voice cold and vicious, "Whoever you are, daring to provoke me, I will find you and crush you!"

...

Originally, they had come to celebrate the Wuhua God Emperor’s birthday, but suddenly, the entire atmosphere of the Wuhua Palace became tense, sobering many people up.

The banquet hadn’t yet dispersed when the disciples of the Wuhua Palace surrounded everyone, carefully verifying each person’s identity to see if there was anyone missing.

And for those who had left early, palace disciples were sent to check if they were still around.

Mu Qingge’s place, it was Chu Nian who took the initiative to bring people there.

She didn’t bring too many people, just her two maids and four or five disciples from the Wuhua Domain, appearing before Mu Qingge’s door.

"You stay here," Chu Nian instructed the few people behind her.

She hesitated for a moment and walked forward.

Just as she reached the door, Yin Chen suddenly appeared, startling her.

"Princess Chu Nian, coming here so early, is there something important?" Yin Chen asked.

Chu Nian composed herself and nodded. "At dawn, some things happened in the Wuhua Palace. There was an intruder, and I’m worried it might affect Qingge’s rest, so I came specifically to check."

"Oh? It’s quite peaceful here, nothing has happened. My master is still asleep from last night’s hangover, and it might be inconvenient, so it’s better for you to return." Yin Chen said slowly.

Chu Nian smiled faintly and did not leave but instead stepped forward, saying to Yin Chen, "I’d rather see for myself to be at ease."

Her insistence made Yin Chen slightly frown, and a hint of impatience rose in his blood-red eyes.

Just as the two were at a stalemate, a voice laden with laziness and trace of drunkenness sounded from behind Yin Chen: "What’s going on?"

Yin Chen turned around at the words, and Chu Nian also raised her eyes to look at that dazzling shade of red behind them.

Mu Qingge’s hair was unruffled, draped in a large robe, sleepiness still lingered in her eyes, and there was impatience about being woken up in her brows.

Chu Nian was taken aback.

The Mu Qingge she had seen before always felt elegant and free, with a graceful demeanor. But now, in her lazy recklessness, there was a seductive element that was irresistible.

After a while, she came to herself, walked towards Mu Qingge, stopping three feet before her. "Last night someone intruded into the Divine Emperor Palace, my father is furious, and I’m tasked with a mission, so I had to come and disturb you. It’s nothing now, so have a good rest, but also keep an eye out for any potential intrusions. My father has ordered to seal off the Wuhua Palace, and even Wuhua City, so for the next few days, it’s best for you to stay here and not wander about to prevent misunderstandings."

"Someone intruded into the Divine Emperor Palace?" Mu Qingge was startled, the sleepiness in her eyes dissipating.

The surprise on her face didn’t seem feigned, which made others more likely to believe in her innocence.

"Yes. Just a small issue that’ll be resolved soon," Chu Nian reassured.

Mu Qingge nodded lightly to her, saying, "Alright, I understand. Before this matter is settled, I’ll continue to stay here. If any assistance is needed, feel free to approach me."

Chu Nian offered her a slight smile and nodded before turning away, murmuring, "Have a good rest. Since I’ve been here, no one else will come to disturb you."

With that, she swiftly departed with her people.

After she left, Mu Qingge’s eyes turned calm, and there was no hint of disturbance in the clarity of her gaze.

"Fortunately, you returned in time," Yin Chen, standing beside Mu Qingge, said softly to her.

Mu Qingge nodded almost imperceptibly, replying, "It’s a shame there was nothing in Little Leaf Pavilion that we’re looking for."

"Nothing?" Yin Chen was slightly taken aback, his brows furrowing.

Mu Qingge nodded slowly, her gaze somewhat heavy.

"Where do we search next? Today’s commotion will likely make Wuhua Palace extremely guarded, making it tougher for us to act," Yin Chen said.

He thought it was Mu Qingge who exposed her whereabouts in the Nine Curves Maze.

"No, it’s unnecessary," Mu Qingge shook her head slowly, turning to head into the hall. Yin Chen followed close behind, his eyes filled with confusion.

"Let them keep searching. Our ability to remain here gives me more opportunity to keep looking," Mu Qingge said. If Wuhua God Emperor were to drive everyone out of the Wuhua Palace, it would be a real loss for her.

"What if they fail to find anyone..."

"They’re not searching for me." Mu Qingge interrupted Yin Chen’s words.

"Not you!" Yin Chen slightly frowned, puzzled.

Mu Qingge nodded, "They’re looking for Mu Tianyin. Last night, I encountered Mu Tianyin in the maze, and it seemed he wanted to take advantage of the situation to enter Little Leaf Pavilion in search of news on the Divine Strategy Lower Volume. However, he didn’t see through my disguise and doesn’t know my identity. Later, when I entered One Leaf Pavilion, he was still wandering in the maze. Perhaps he accidentally triggered a forbidden technique or was discovered by the Maze Guards, causing the subsequent chaos."

"That’s still dangerous," Yin Chen worriedly stated, "If he gets caught or, to evade pursuit, reveals to the Divine Clan that you’re an offspring of the Mu Clan, what then?"

"He won’t," Mu Qingge resolutely answered.

"Why?" Yin Chen inquired.

"Because if I’m exposed, he is too. Compared to him, the Mu Clan Young Master, I’m just a Lower Realm ascended Mu Clan bloodline and really not valuable. The Mu Clan Young Master would be killed by the Divine Clan. However, a descendant with talent but without a sense of belonging to the Mu Clan is worth recruiting," Mu Qingge sneered.

On the day, Wuhua Palace was under strict guard, and all those who came to celebrate were closely monitored.

Mu Qingge’s place was, as Chu Nian said, very peaceful since she had been there, and no one would disturb again. Mu Qingge also didn’t leave a step today, obediently staying within the hall.

The two servants in the hall were cleaning while looking towards the room. Mu Qingge sat cross-legged as if cultivating, without any abnormality.

But in fact, Mu Qingge’s Divine Sense had already gone out, heading towards the Divine Emperor Palace.

Previously, she had speculated that if the Divine Strategy Lower Volume wasn’t in Little Leaf Pavilion, it was highly likely carried with the Wuhua God Emperor! She had already verified Little Leaf Pavilion, now there’s only one place left!
