Chapter 1089: Chapter 174: Dragon Teeth’s First Battle, Shocking Xu Xiu (Update 1)

"You’ve lived so long for nothing, yet you can’t even compare to these trusted aides of mine, none of whom have reached a century. If you don’t believe me, try it." Mu Qingge’s gaze was mocking.

Her tone was full of contempt, causing the Mu Clan remnants in the hall to reveal expressions of indignation.

The eyes, full of unwillingness, reflected hatred.

This hatred wasn’t aimed at Mu Qingge personally but at the manner in which she spoke.

Xu Xiu frowned slightly and slowly turned his gaze to Mu Qingge, disapprovingly. Seemingly saying, ’While it’s true your people have your acknowledgment, the Mu Clan remnants who remained in the Divine Land are not entirely useless either.’

However, Mu Qingge showed no reaction to Xu Xiu’s hint, not even giving him a glance.

"You’re too arrogant!"

"Exactly. If you stayed in the Divine Land, you might not be better than us."

"What’s with the ’best at running away’? We preserved our strength!"

"Even if you’re the Young Master, you can’t speak to us like that!"

The sound of disputes rose again in the hall.

They were venting their dissatisfaction towards Mu Qingge. Their discontent was not only due to her arrogant words, but also because they couldn’t accept Mu Qingge’s ’destroy the bridge after crossing it’ behavior, standing up for Xu Xiu.

Xu Xiu was a Tianlu, the intellect of the Mu Clan.

At this moment, he had seen the problem’s crux and understood that no matter what he said now, he couldn’t change these people’s ingrained impressions.

Xu Xiu sighed heavily, glancing towards the High Priest, only to see him standing there composedly, showing no signs of panic.

’Do you truly have such faith in him?’ Xu Xiu couldn’t help but send a voice transmission.

The High Priest received the voice transmission, lifted his eyes, and met his gaze. ’Senior Brother, just watch quietly. You only need to show your stance. A body cannot have two heads, and the Mu Clan only needs one Commander.’

Xu Xiu’s gaze contracted, his grip on the scepter tightened, and he lowered his eyes.

Since even the High Priest saw through this, how could he not? Precisely because he saw through it, he agreed to release power so easily. However, whether Mu Qingge could grasp the power he let go of was up to her ability.

"Silence——!"

"Silence!"

Two hundred Dragon Tooth Guards shouted in unison.

The thunderous sound shattered the noise and suppressed the discontent towards Mu Qingge.

Some Mu Clan remnants looked in surprise at the Dragon Tooth Guards.

They could see that these Dragon Tooth Guards were at the Spirit Cave Realm First Layer, Second Layer level. Compared to their own Fourth and Fifth Layer, they were indeed lacking.

Yet, to produce such momentum in front of nearly a thousand of them was truly surprising.

However, thinking of Mu Qingge’s earlier boast that they were no match for her trusted aides made the Mu Clan remnants look at the Dragon Tooth Guards with unfriendly eyes.

The disdain and mockery were identical to what Mu Qingge had shown them before.

"Don’t just talk big in front of me, show your strength," Mu Qingge said calmly after order restored in the hall.

Her expression was serene, not a ripple in sight.

It seemed that those calling her arrogant and reckless, those countless negative remarks, couldn’t faze her at all.

Xu Xiu observed silently and had to admit that Mu Qingge’s composure was much steadier than Mu Tianyin’s.

Had it been Mu Tianyin in this situation, he would likely have flown into a rage, unable to think of a better solution, resorting only to threats by killing.

But Mu Qingge—

Xu Xiu frowned slightly, finally understanding Mu Qingge’s intention, yet still couldn’t predict how she would resolve it.

She was inciting using the Dragon Tooth Guards, but he couldn’t see the Dragon Tooth Guards having any chance of winning against the Mu Clan remnants. Whether in single combat or group battles, he saw no opportunity for victory.

"Hmph. If the Young Master is so confident in her trusted aides, let’s have a duel," said a burly man stepping out from the Mu Clan’s remnants, his tone mocking as he said ’Young Master’.

Then, without bothering whether Mu Qingge agreed or not, his disdainful gaze swept over the surrounding Dragon Tooth Guards, arrogantly saying, "Who among you will come?"

Despite his provocation, the Dragon Tooth Guards remained cold-faced, unaffected.

Observing this, Xu Xiu glanced at Mu Qingge and suddenly realized the master and servant shared an astonishingly similar temperament. Mu Qingge was wild, Dragon Tooth was wild; Mu Qingge was proud, Dragon Tooth was proud; Mu Qingge was calm, Dragon Tooth was calm; Mu Qingge was fearless, Dragon Tooth was just as fearless!

’What immense influence! What infectious power!’ Xu Xiu was shocked in his heart.

Yet, his astonishment didn’t end there.

Mu Qingge’s smile, full of inexplicable meaning, curved at the corners of her lips. "There’s no need for so much trouble. To deal with nearly a thousand of you, these two hundred are sufficient."

What!

Mu Clan remnants were shocked. Xu Xiu was also shocked.

What did Mu Qingge mean by this? Was she suggesting a group battle?

"Hahahahaha—! Are you kidding me? We outnumber them by several times, and our cultivation is higher. In a one-on-one, maybe a miracle might occur, but in a group battle, they stand no chance," laughed the burly Mu Clan man.

Mu Qingge’s laughter squinted her eyes, and from the slits emanated a blazing light, slowly she said, "If I’m not worried, then what are you worried about?"

Her words halted the mocking voices.

At this moment, nearly a thousand Mu Clan remnants noticed that after Mu Qingge made her decision, there wasn’t a trace of shock on the two hundred Dragon Tooth Guards’ faces, neither fear nor timidity.

Something was off, very off!

Didn’t they understand their own strength? Why could they remain so composed knowing they were bound to lose?

The laughter gradually ceased, and all Mu Clan remnants looked towards the two hundred Dragon Tooth Guards.

Mu Qingge casually flicked her nails, her expression serene, saying, "Begin."

Upon her command, the two hundred Dragon Tooth Guards immediately got into formation.

Within the hall, nearly a thousand Mu Clan remnants each prepared themselves, exchanging glances, intending to take down their opponents one by one.

In their understanding, this was how group battles worked.

Everyone would charge together, find their respective opponents, and start the fight.

With such a disparity in numbers, them fighting four or five against one Dragon Tooth Guard seemed a sure win even with their eyes closed.

However, just as they were about to rush out and take down the Dragon Tooth Guards directly, the two hundred Dragon Tooth Guards took a unified step forward.

Their movements were synchronized, possessing the same posture and momentum, merging together like a surging wave.

This astonishing display left Xu Xiu first to widen his eyes in shock.
