The Mu family's foremost wastrel is reborn from nirvana and returns, causing heaven and earth to change color and the entire world to be rewritten. Heavenly treasures, hidden riches, and divine...
Mu Hanyan noticed Zhao Sining's escape out of the corner of her eye, but she didn't even have the interest to chase him. He was just a useless guy who had accomplished nothing. What difference did it make whether she killed him or not? What she really cared about was the woman in black who had just left.
Could it really be her? But hadn't I clearly pierced her heart with that sword strike, confirming her demise? How could she possibly be resurrected?
The sky was clear and blue, and the holy light filled with peace and tranquility spread across the earth. The panicked citizens suddenly calmed down.
Only then did they realize that there was no longer any shaking under their feet, and the cracks and abysses that spread like a bead net had disappeared. The originally shaky house had become as solid as a rock.
What was going on? The surviving citizens looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
Seeing the Black Stone City before them, looking completely new and washed out, they even suspected they were just having a nightmare. But if one person had a nightmare, it would be fine, but could it be that the entire city was having a nightmare together?
"A miracle has occurred. It must be a miracle."
"God bless my Black Stone City, God bless my Black Stone City." The citizens were so excited that their eyes were filled with tears, and they knelt on the ground devoutly.
In the Mu family, the children of each family looked at Mu Hanyan in front of them and even had the urge to bow down and worship her.
The Mu family's territory was vast, and while outsiders didn't know what had happened, they witnessed it firsthand and knew it was all due to the power of Mu Hanyan's divine language. If it weren't for him, Black Stone City would have been reduced to ruins by now, and hundreds of thousands of its inhabitants would have been buried forever in the abyss.
Perhaps they had no choice but to surrender and serve the Mu family, and they still felt a little unwilling or even had some ulterior motives, but now, they absolutely no longer had any other intentions.
Such divine language and holy words were simply not something they could contend with, and Mu Hanyan, who possessed the art of divine language, was even less someone they could contend with.
Of course, they don't need to fight back. Serving the Mu family is equivalent to serving Mu Hanyan, a divine fortune teller with omnipotent powers. For them, this is a great honor and a good thing that they can't even hope for.
The head of the Yuan family patted Yuan Tianbo on the shoulder, a look of relief on his face. This grandson's brain wasn't particularly sharp, and his talent was mediocre, but when it came to his vision, even this old fox had to admire him. Even he hadn't expected Mu Hanyan to comprehend the divine language. Fortunately, Yuan Tianbo acted decisively; otherwise, a misstep would have brought disaster to the Yuan family.
"Not good!" The Great Elder remembered something and looked towards the backyard with great worry.
Just now, almost all of the Mu clan's descendants had gathered in the meeting hall, leaving only the relatives, the elderly, the weak, the women, and the children in the backyard. Although the Zhao and Zhou families were targeting them, as long as they were eliminated, the elderly, the weak, the women, and the children would naturally have no power to resist. However, if a despicable person with bad intentions broke into the backyard, they would not even have time to regret it.
"Don't worry, Great Elder. Brother Hanyan has arranged everything, and we will naturally not take the backyard lightly." Mu Cheng said with a smile on his face, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Mu Hanyan.
When Mu Hanyan made those arrangements before, he was still wondering if it was too much of an overreaction. They were just a few small families born and raised in Black Stone City. Even if they joined forces, at most they would play some small tricks on their Mu family in private. There was no way they would openly become enemies with them.
However, it was not until the Zhao and Zhou families came to attack him that he realized that others were not only openly against them, but clearly wanted to destroy his Mu family. It was not until then that he realized how far-sighted Mu Hanyan was, and he admired him even more.
As soon as he finished speaking, relatives from all branches of the Mu family emerged from the backyard, led by none other than Mu Hanyan's mother. Holding an ancient sword, she looked incredibly valiant, a true master swordsman.
There were four people in the family, three sword masters and one great swordsman. When they saw her strength, and then looked at Mu Ruian, Mu Hanyan, Mu Hanfeng and others, everyone was secretly amazed.
Mu Nan, Qu Shanling, and the others, along with the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce's guards, also protected the Mu clan. Old Schemer Qu, with his sleeves fluttering and the air of a master, held a swordsman in Zhao clan guard uniform.
"Young Master, as you expected, there are indeed a few ignorant and despicable guys. I have taken care of them all." Old charlatan Qu threw the swordsman in front of Mu Hanyan and said with a smug look on his face.
"Master Qu, thanks to your generosity this time, our Mu family is eternally grateful." The Third Elder hurried forward to express his gratitude. Seeing that the others were not quite sure of Qu Shanling's identity, he introduced him, "This is the renowned fortune teller, Master Qu Shanling."
In fact, Qu Shanling did not have any divine enlightenment and could not be called a fortune teller. What the Third Elder said was of course to flatter him.
"It turns out to be Master Qu. I've heard of you for a long time." The Great Elder and others had all heard of Qu Shanling's name, and they hurried forward to pay their respects, even Wu Longji was no exception.
If it were in the past, they might not have respected Qu Shanling so much, but after seeing Mu Hanyan's divine language and holy words, they saw with their own eyes how powerful the astrologer was, so naturally they did not dare to look down on Qu Shanling in the slightest.
"Haha, thank you for your courtesy. It's just a small favor." Qu Shanling smiled widely and pretended to be calm and composed, waving his hand and said.
"You don't have to thank him. He never took any action. This one fish that was caught in the net fainted after seeing the lady's strength." Mu Nan said without giving any face.
"Cough, cough..." Qu Shanling's smile froze on his face, but his hands were still swinging out of inertia, as if he was having a seizure, and his old face twitched with embarrassment.
"Mu Nan, Master Qu means well, no matter what. Don't talk nonsense." The Great Elder lectured Mu Nan, looked at the guards with the word "Nan Yan" on their bodies, and asked curiously, "These should be guards from the Nan Yan Chamber of Commerce, right? Why did you invite them here?"
Although he had been traveling between the capital and Black Stone City for most of the year, he had heard of the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce. He knew that this chamber of commerce had risen suddenly and had become one of the most powerful chambers of commerce in Nanxi County in less than a year. However, he didn't know what means Mu Nan had used to invite them to come forward.
"Haha, why do we need to invite you? Nanyan Chamber of Commerce originally belonged to the Mu family. Even I am considered a servant of the Mu family. I work for free. How can we not come when something like this happens?" Qu Shanling was ruthlessly exposed by Mu Nan. She was too embarrassed to pretend to be so shameless and said with a wry smile.
"What?" The Great Elder was surprised again and again today.
