Chapter 1125: Chapter 210: If Negotiation Fails, Only Killing Remains (2 Updates)

"With your understanding of the Dragon Clan, is there still room for reconciliation?" Mu Qingge suddenly turned her gaze to Hou and asked. Before Hou could lift his eyes, she added, "I mean, a peaceful resolution."

Hou was taken aback, somewhat puzzled.

Still, he answered her question. "Impossible. The Dragon Clan is inherently proud and has always been arrogant, always boasting about the nobility of their bloodline. How could they easily succumb? Moreover, this time we’ve wiped out five young dragons with one strike. If they don’t kill me, I’d find it very strange."

Hou’s expression was one of absolute certainty.

Mu Qingge thought it was only natural. Places swapped, if her people were killed, she wouldn’t easily let the murderers go. What’s more, the number of dragons killed by Hou’s hands was more than just one or two.

Exactly how many dragons were killed?

Even Hou probably couldn’t remember.

And how many times had the Dragon Clan tried to put Hou to death? The Dragon Clan themselves probably couldn’t remember.

Such enmity was indeed difficult to reckon, let alone be resolved with a smile.

"Since that’s the case, it will have to be this way." Mu Qingge suddenly said.

Hmm?

Mu Qingge’s words made Yin Chen and Hou look at her, their eyes filled with confusion.

It has to be this way?

What does that mean?

At this moment, inside the God-piercing Mirror, the old dragons who had agreed on a strategy had already split into two parties. One party was gathering the remains of the five young dragons to bring back to the Dragon Realm, and to report the matter to the Dragon Emperor.

The other party was set to hunt down Hou and his group.

They didn’t know that Hou and the others hadn’t left but were in another space, watching their every move, just thinking that Hou and his group had escaped before their arrival, thus chasing after them.

Mu Qingge raised her hand and tossed, two elixirs shot from her hand towards Yin Chen and Hou.

The two raised their hands to catch them, immediately recognizing the elixir’s level.

"Holy Level Elixir!" Hou raised his eyebrows.

Mu Qingge took out another elixir, swallowed it herself. "This is for restoring Divine Power and Divine Sense."

While she spoke, Yin Chen and Hou had already swallowed the elixirs.

After consuming the elixirs, their previously depleted energies were instantly replenished.

"Let’s go." Mu Qingge stood up, giving orders to the two.

In no time, they disappeared from the space. When they reappeared, they had returned to the valley, along with Mu Qingge’s Divine Demon Puppet.

"These old bastards, stinking mudskippers! Daring to hunt me down! Fine, I’ll chase you from behind and destroy you completely!" Hou rolled up his sleeves, angrily declared.

"This way." Mu Qingge walked towards the direction opposite Hou.

Hou was startled and turned, asking, "Girl, they’re over there."

Mu Qingge stopped and retorted, "Can you take on these dozen old dragons?"

Uh...

The question stumped Hou.

After a pause, he said, "But aren’t you all here?" Speaking, he pointed at Mu Qingge’s Divine Demon Puppet, "Aren’t these two guys here too? We definitely can’t win, but if we catch up, we can kill some, since they’re all out to get me, I naturally need to collect enough interest first."

Mu Qingge nodded and said, "There’s no flaw in that reasoning. But why should we choose the difficult path and give up the greater assurance?"

Seeing that Hou still hadn’t caught on, Yin Chen added, "Qingge means to follow and pick off the other three dragons."

Damn!

Hou’s eyes widened, finally understanding Mu Qingge’s intention.

But he immediately drew in a sharp breath, murmuring, "Girl, you’ve got more guts than me! Although dealing with those three dragons is much easier, they’re heading to the Dragon Realm, aren’t you afraid they’ll bring expert reinforcements from there?"

Mu Qingge calmly said, "Therefore, it’s a quick fight. There’s always risk, but with us five against three, the odds are still good. As you said, since the relationship has no room for maneuver, then we’ll take out as many as we can, True Dragon Blood is so precious, I can’t bear to only use it myself. My Dragon Tooth Guards and Dragon Feather Guards all need it greatly."

After speaking, she coldly smiled.

She was always straightforward; since reconciliation with the Dragon Clan was unlikely, she’d only go for proactive aggression!

Hou’s eyes suddenly brightened, looking at Mu Qingge, saying, "Girl, you’re impressive!"

"Let’s go, if we delay, we won’t need to go at all." Mu Qingge flicked her sleeve, disappearing first, darting ahead.

As she moved, the Divine Demon Puppet followed closely. Yin Chen and Hou were also unwilling to lag behind, swiftly chasing the three old dragons taking the remains back.

The three old dragons, two at Second Layer of Saint Realm, one at Third Layer of Saint Realm.

Mu Qingge’s Divine Demon Puppets were at First Layer of Saint Realm; she herself was also at First Layer of Saint Realm, while Yin Chen was about the same.

Hou’s strength, under the nourishment of Mu Qingge’s elixir, had long since recovered.

Fifth Layer of Saint Realm cultivation was sufficient to dominate a region. But, due to bloodline constraints, Hou, ensuring no injuries, could only handle up to three dragons simultaneously, any more would risk harm despite lower cultivation.

Their group, as long as Mu Qingge’s four could keep two old dragons occupied, Hou could quickly finish the fight and retreat safely before the Dragon Realm noticed.

They quickly pursued the three old dragons returning to the Dragon Realm.

The three old dragons, suddenly seeing Hou appear, were also startled. Just as they planned to alert, Hou charged without a word.

Mu Qingge, Yin Chen, and the Divine Demon Puppets also acted immediately, two each confining one, leaving Hou room to maneuver.

Hou knew time was tight, with a single palm struck, shattered the old dragon’s head, then pounced onto another. After Yin Chen switched targets, he rushed to gouge the Dragon Heart, one of the Divine Demon Puppets aided Mu Qingge, three against one, making it even harder for the old dragon to fight back.

"Who are you people? Why join forces with Hou to harm our Dragon Clan!" The old dragon battling Mu Qingge angrily roared.

At this point, Mu Qingge retreated with the Divine Demon Puppet, Hou’s menacing face appeared before the old dragon.

The old dragon’s eyes suddenly shrank, scanning sideways, finally realizing his two companions had already perished.

’Not good!’ He wanted to escape.

But how could he escape Hou’s grip?

Within a few breaths, he was killed. Yet, as he died, he let out a dragon’s roar, echoing across the heavens and earth.

"Stinking mudskipper! Actually intending to summon companions?" Hou cursed.

With a claw, he extracted the Dragon Heart, saying to Mu Qingge and the others, "We must leave quickly, once the dragon’s roar summoning companions is released, whether it’s those previous dozens or dragons from the Dragon Realm will come forth."

Mu Qingge squinted her eyes, looked at her Divine Demon Puppet, a trace of reluctance passing through her gaze. She gritted her teeth and left the Demon Puppet behind.
