Mo Yanhong's character was truly despicable, and his death was so shameful it was a complete joke. Even the Mo family members were ashamed to acknowledge him. Mu Hanyan didn't force him, and ordered him to be buried somewhere. Originally, Mu Hanyan wanted to bury him with the deceased guards and civilians, but others strongly opposed it, believing it to be an insult to the deceased soldiers and civilians, so Mu Hanyan had to change her mind.
It was truly tragic that the young master of one of the eight great families had ended up like this, with no one willing to be buried with him even after his death. However, all of this was his own fault, and he couldn't blame anyone else.
"Are these the so-called elites from the aristocratic families who follow me? They are all descendants of the eight great families, so why are those who follow Mu Hanyan so brave and fearless, while those who follow me are all such useless idiots?" Tan Taixuan looked at Mu Hanyan in confusion. He no longer had the face to stay in Qingyang Pass, so he quietly withdrew from the crowd and walked away with heavy steps.
When the fiery red morning sun rose again from the horizon, the deep canyon and the majestic passes on both sides regained their tranquility. The sunlight drove away the coldness of the night and the bloodshed and sadness after the battle.
Although the strange beasts had just suffered a crushing defeat, and even the dark beast named Xu Ming behind the scenes was injured and left, no one could be sure that they would not make a comeback, so after a short rest, one after another, seemingly tireless soldiers stood on the top of the city again.
The reinforcements from the major chambers of commerce and families were also welcomed into Beining Pass amid cheers. If they had not arrived in time and bought precious time for Beining Pass, Beining Pass might not have been able to hold out to the end, nor might it have been able to capture the invading beasts. Both the soldiers and civilians in the pass, as well as Mu Hanyan herself, were full of gratitude to them.
At the general's mansion, the fifth prince specially prepared a banquet to entertain everyone. Although the ingredients were simple and there was not even any alcohol, it was still a thoughtful gesture.
"Young Master Park, thanks to your help, Beining Pass was able to escape danger this time. I'll toast you a glass." Mu Hanyan raised the glass filled with water and said to Park Donghan.
This time, the major chambers of commerce were headed by Park Donghan, which surprised Mu Hanyan a little. She remembered that the last time they were in Fangjia Town, he and she didn't get along well.
"Young Master Mu, you are too polite. There may be one thing you don't know. Luoan City is actually the foundation of my Pu family. If you hadn't arrived in time last time, I don't know how many people in Luoan City would have died in the attack of strange beasts, and my Pu family would have been in trouble. As the saying goes, every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. The elites of your eight great families have all traveled thousands of miles to help defend Luoan City. If our chambers of commerce still stay out of it, how can we face people in the future?" Park Donghan said with shame and gratitude.
Mu Hanyan hadn't expected that Luo'an City was actually the base of the Park family. Although Park Donghan had selfish motives in leading his men to help, he was able to speak so openly, which made him much better than those hypocritical hypocrites.
"Mr. Pu is absolutely right. If Luoan City falls, there will be chaos in the world. How can our chambers of commerce have a good end? Young Master Mu repelled the strange beasts in Fangjia Town. Not only did he compensate our chambers of commerce with a large amount of money and materials, but he also helped us tame sword pets. When the president heard about Young Master Mu's righteous act, he praised him highly and specially ordered us to come to help this time." Another chamber of commerce manager echoed.
The other chambers of commerce also agreed. If they hadn't seen Mu Hanyan's potential, even if these chambers of commerce had a heart to defend their country, they would never have been so unanimous. After all, they were all here for Mu Hanyan.
"No matter what, thank you all for coming to help in time." Mu Hanyan said.
"Elders, I didn't expect you to come too." Mu Hanyan said to the elders of the Mu family branch in Black Stone City.
After not seeing each other for over a year, several elders have been promoted to the realm of sword masters, and the other disciples of the branch families have also made great progress. Although they are not as good as the guest officials hired by the big chambers of commerce at a high price, they are not lagging behind. As elders of a remote small town, such strength is already very good.
The other children of the branch family who grew up together have also made great progress. Although they did not achieve much in the battle just now, they were able to protect themselves safely, which really made Mu Hanyan happy and relieved.
"You are the pride of our Mu family in Black Stone City. If you have something to do, how can we not come?" The Great Elder laughed.
The other brothers and sisters from the branch family looked at Mu Hanyan, and their faces were indeed full of pride and honor.
"Okay, Hanyan, we are all family, you don't have to be polite with me, go meet the elders and friends from other families. This time, in order to help you, they have even risked their lives and property." The third elder said considerately.
He was naturally referring to the Yuan family's old patriarch and his companions. He remembered that a year or so ago, they still viewed Mu Hanyan with the eyes of an elder, deeply disdainful of his dandy behavior. But now, facing Mu Hanyan, they could only look up to him. They watched helplessly as Mu Hanyan exchanged pleasantries with the Chamber of Commerce officials, not even having the right to interrupt.
"Master Yuan, Elder Qi, Kaiyun, thank you very much this time." Mu Hanyan bowed and said to Master Yuan and others.
"Young Master Mu, you are too polite. Anyun is in trouble, and this is our responsibility." The elders, the family heads and others were flattered when they saw Mu Hanyan saluting them. They quickly stood up and returned the salute without any airs of an elder.
"Why are you saying this? Don't forget that we are brothers. If you hadn't rescued me in the Valley of Exotic Beasts, I would have lost my life." Qi Kaiyun was much more straightforward. When he mentioned the Valley of Exotic Beasts, he got so excited that he couldn't help but climb onto Mu Hanyan's shoulders. However, he immediately came to his senses and weakly retracted his hand that was stretched out in the air.
Mu Hanyan smiled slightly, grabbed Qi Kaiyun's hand, squeezed it hard, and then let go.
Qi Kaiyun was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. Although time had passed and Mu Hanyan was no longer the same Mu Hanyan, even he, the young master of the number one family in Nanxi County, could only look up at her. But he knew that Mu Hanyan would never forget the side by side in the Valley of Exotic Beasts, and would never forget the life and death they had shared. The friendship between them would never change.
After chatting for a while with a group of Chamber of Commerce managers, several elders of the Mu family branch in Black Stone City, many brothers and sisters, as well as Qi Kaiyun and others, Mu Hanyan and Ye Lanxun came to the highest stone pavilion in the general's mansion and looked at the endless horizon in the distance.
The Holy Court's elixir was indeed powerful. Ye Lanxun had been seriously injured by the palm strike from the man in black before, and then he threw the Killing Sword with all his strength, which caused his meridians to rupture and his Qi Sea to be damaged. However, after taking the elixir, his meridians recovered quickly and there was no trace of injury at this time.
