Chapter 998: Chapter 83: Mu Qingge, I Will Kill You! (20 Updates)

"Did everyone hear clearly?" Lu Ye asked coldly as he looked around.

"We heard clearly!"

"We heard clearly."

The thousand-strong team responded loudly.

The more they responded, the harder it was for Mu Tianyin, who was hidden among them, to suppress his inner rage.

Fortunately, Lu Ye didn’t continue to delay and turned to lead them towards the Divine Emperor Palace. Otherwise, he couldn’t guarantee what crazy thing he might do in extreme anger.

Starting at the base of Wuhua Palace, they climbed upward. To show respect to the Wuhua God Emperor, none of them were allowed to use Divine Power to ascend the mountain; they could only rely on their physical endurance.

Nearly a thousand people walked from the foot of the mountain to the outside of the Divine Emperor Palace from sunrise to sunset.

At this moment, even with the famous sunset scenery of Wuhua Palace before them, they were too exhausted to appreciate it and only wanted to sit on the ground to rest recklessly.

They were merely people without sufficient status who wanted to rely on and seek protection.

Those with status had already accessed the Divine Emperor Palace through other channels.

"Alright, rest here. When the banquet is about to start, someone will lead you into the Divine Emperor Palace to meet the Divine Emperor," Lu Ye instructed the crowd.

Hearing this, many people sat on the ground and began to restore their energy.

Mu Tianyin originally didn’t intend to sit down, but was pulled down by Mu Lin and Mu Shan. Otherwise, if everyone sat and he stood, it would be too conspicuous.

Mu Tianyin sat on the ground, with Mu Lin and Mu Shan beside him.

The three did not engage in cultivation as the physical exertion from the mountain climb was insignificant for their level of cultivation.

So while others rested, they each looked around, paying attention to their surroundings.

Lu Ye settled them in place, glanced disdainfully, and then turned to leave. His departing demeanor was envied by the crowd, leading to hushed discussions.

"This is the Chief Hall Disciple of Wuhua Domain! Such a demeanor is indeed incomparable to us."

"Isn’t that so? Wuhua Domain sending its Chief Hall Disciple to guide us up the mountain is a testament to their sincerity."

"If word of this gets out, it will surely make many envious."

"Hahaha, talking like this, we have been received by the Chief Hall Disciple of Wuhua Domain."

"Yes, yes..."

Amidst these conversations, occasional laughter filled with pride drifted in.

Such laughter pierced Mu Tianyin’s ears, feeling extremely unpleasant. ’How can I sit with these bumpkins!’ he thought.

In his eyes, those seeking to attach themselves to Wuhua Domain were uncivilized commoners, unlike him—born with the burden of a prodigy.

Thinking of this, Mu Tianyin’s eyes grew dark.

In his mind, he was even envisioning... one day, when he revives the Mu Clan’s War God prestige and conquers the Four Seas Divine Land, he must make those lofty Divine Emperors kneel before him, washing away today’s shame.

This anticipated future slightly alleviated the gloom in Mu Tianyin’s heart, calming his agitation.

...

In a side hall of Wuhua Palace, Mu Qingge finished her meditation.

Today was the start of the evening banquet, having waited several days, finally it was today.

"Qingge, are you confident for tonight? Or... shall I assist you?" Yin Chen asked, somewhat worried.

He was, of course, uneasy. He had only explored the Divine Emperor Palace of Wuhua Domain once, and regarding the Nine Curves Maze, he hadn’t even entered—he could only observe from outside.

With such information, how could he let Mu Qingge take a risk?

Thinking again, before Mu Qingge could speak, he changed his mind, "How about I go, and you stay?"

Mu Qingge looked up at him, shook her head slowly. "There’s no need to argue, I’ll go. You don’t even know what the Divine Strategy looks like, so even if you went, how would you find it? The Divine Strategy might be right before you, but you would still miss it."

"..." Yin Chen fell silent.

What Mu Qingge said was true; his going was pointless.

"Then allow me to assist outside," Yin Chen suggested again.

His blood-red eyes showed determination. But Mu Qingge had her own considerations. She continued shaking her head, saying to Yin Chen, "You stay here. If anything happens and someone suspects this place, you can block them for a while. Otherwise, if both you and I are absent, wouldn’t it proclaim to the world that we’re hiding something?"

"But..." Yin Chen remained uneasy.

Mu Qingge raised her hand to cut him off, "Don’t worry about me. If necessary, I’ll hide in the space; I won’t be in danger. Your task is equally important; keep an attentive eye outside, don’t let anyone suspect a thing."

"Rest assured about that," Yin Chen finally conceded, nodding.

As he was about to remind Mu Qingge of something, she suddenly raised her hand, saying, "Someone’s coming."

Her words had barely left her mouth when the hem of a dress flashed at the door, and Chu Nian entered with a smile.

"Qingge, are you ready?" Chu Nian walked straight to Mu Qingge, addressing her.

Mu Qingge smiled and nodded, "What trouble makes you come personally?"

Chu Nian smiled, "You’re a distinguished guest of my father, and he instructed me to attend to you properly. How could I neglect the Little Divine Emperor Mu today?"

Mu Qingge couldn’t help but laugh and shook her head, "I thought, on a day like this, you’d be outside the Divine Emperor Palace, welcoming guests."

"That’s the matter for the ten disciples. Those people don’t need me to appear; as long as I entertain you well." Chu Nian half-jokingly said.

Mu Qingge laughed and said, "Since you’ve put it this way, I guess I have no choice but to comply with respect."

The two looked at each other and smiled, walking out side by side.

...

Outside the Divine Emperor Palace in the Wuhua Domain, a large square built atop a mountain peak.

At this moment, seated in the square are quite a few people who had walked up here on foot to celebrate the birthday of the Wuhua God Emperor. After resting, they have now regained quite a bit of energy.

"Eh? What’s that!"

"Looks like people!"

"Look quickly, it’s people from other divine domains coming to offer birthday wishes."

At this time, someone noticed rays of colorful light flying from afar, swooping over their heads, landing directly on the foundation stone in front of the Divine Emperor Palace, where they were warmly welcomed by the ten disciples and ushered into the palace.

Immediately, these divine beings who came here with their own legs and strength began to buzz with excitement.

Numerous people craned their necks, eagerly watching, afraid to miss such a wonderful opportunity. After all, these figures were a rare sight, and seeing them today is something to boast about later!

They did not feel that their treatment was poor because of it; instead, they wanted to use this chance to get a glimpse of the other divine domain’s famous figures. After all, it is indeed difficult for them to see these personalities.

Seeing them today is enough to brag about for a long time.

"That’s Burning Sea Divine Domain’s Hall Master, isn’t it!"

"Yes, it’s him. Didn’t expect him to come this time."

"Look at his smug expression, completely unlike someone whose domain just lost its minor god emperor."

"Ha, if Burning Sea Divine Domain’s minor god emperor hadn’t been mysteriously killed, do you think he’d have the chance to be here at this event?"

"That’s someone from Broken Star Domain..."

"And Golden Light Domain."

"All three divine domains from the South Divine Land are here."

"Not just South Divine Land? I see people from other divine lands as well."

"Where, where?"

"Over there, people from the North Divine Land’s Thousand Bird Domain... and West Divine Land’s Valley Wind Domain... that’s someone from the North Divine Land’s Ten Directions Domain..."

It’s not that they recognize these ’young talents’, but because these distinguished guests all hang their respective divine domain tokens, making it easy for people to know where they come from.

The Four Seas Divine Land, with all major divine domains sending people to offer birthday wishes to the Wuhua God Emperor, such recognition truly is well given.

"Someone else is coming!" someone exclaimed excitedly.

Suddenly, everyone noticed, as the two beams of splendor fell and dissipated, several figures emerged. Leading the way from one side was Wuhua Domain’s Princess Chu Nian, followed by her two maidservants.

While on the other side, leading was a stunning, unmatched red-clothed youth, followed by three others, one with silver hair and blood-red eyes, the other two equally handsome and with extraordinary bearing.

The red-clothed youth and the Princess Chu Nian seemed to be talking and laughing intimately.

Immediately, this sparked speculation among the crowd.

"Who is that? Why have we never heard of him?"

"Seeing his intimate demeanor with Princess Chu Nian, could he be the beloved son-in-law of the Wuhua God Emperor?"

"He seems to be wearing his own clothes, without any divine domain mark, it’s unknown where he comes from."

"It’s said that Princess Chu Nian is elegant, noble, and approachable, but she rarely does this. It looks likely that he’s the fine husband chosen by the Wuhua God Emperor."

"Princess Chu Nian is already over five thousand one hundred years old, having a suitable match is quite normal."

The crowd speculated about Mu Qingge’s relationship with Chu Nian and her identity.

At this moment, Mu Tianyin also saw the person he could never forget, whom he hated deeply!

’Mu—Qing—ge!’

No one noticed Mu Tianyin’s eyes darkening, taken over by hatred and violence. That heartfelt intent to kill, constantly lingered around him.

He never thought he would encounter Mu Qingge here again.

Moreover, he could only sit so lowly among these mediocrities, yet his hated enemy could stand high-profile in front of the enviable Divine Emperor Palace, admired by everyone.

Mu Qingge was even intimately acquainted with the Princess Chu Nian whom he liked.

The accumulation of new resentment and old hatred almost burned away all of Mu Tianyin’s rationality.

Meanwhile, Liu Yan arrived swiftly from afar, calling out loudly to Mu Qingge, "Huan Yue minor god emperor, so you’re here." Having said this, he landed in front of Mu Qingge and Chu Nian, showing exceptional courtesy.

This call immediately revealed Mu Qingge’s identity, causing an uproar.

This uproar didn’t just come from those unqualified to be close to the Divine Emperor Palace, but also from those elites from other divine domains.

The unruly and stunning red-clothed man who made people want to glance several times over, is the new minor god emperor of Huan Yue Domain?!
