Who was this person? Why was he here for Mu Hanyan? How could he have offended such a powerful being? The Mu clan members were curious and worried, secretly speculating in their hearts. However, no one blamed Mu Hanyan. Even the Great Elder, who had the strongest prejudice against her, remained silent.
If Mu Hanyan had not made arrangements in advance, not only did he find a strong supporter like the Wu family, but even the Yuan family changed its flag because of him, their Mu family would have been defeated long ago. How could they have the right to blame him?
"Hahahaha, don't worry, everyone. Brother Han Yan has already made arrangements. It's useless for this old guy to come." Mu Cheng laughed.
The two letters were delivered by him personally, so he did not take this master of the swordsman level seriously at all.
When they heard Mu Cheng's words, everyone in the Mu family's eyes lit up.
Zhao Yuanji's already desperate eyes lit up again when he saw the two figures approaching from afar.
"Hahahaha, Mu Ruian, no matter how scheming your Mu family is, you still can't escape this time." Zhao Yuanji laughed almost crazily with blood on his beard.
Others didn't know who was coming, but he knew that this person was Yue Leifeng, the head of the Yue family. He came here at this time, of course, because he was persuaded by Zhao Sining to come and avenge his beloved son Yue Zhenglin.
Fortunately, this time Zhao Sining did not let him down and accomplished something.
"Ga!" The Zhao family head's laughter suddenly stopped and his eyes widened.
A black figure appeared out of nowhere, like a black lightning, rushing out of the roof of a house in Mu Hanyan's courtyard, crossing the sky, and the long sword in his hand swung out thousands of silver rays, piercing straight towards Yue Leifeng.
Sword Master! Surprisingly, he is also a master of the Sword Master realm.
At this time, Yue Leifeng had already seen the situation clearly and thought that no one posed any threat to him. He never dreamed that when Mu Ruian had not yet recovered, Mu Yunshui was seriously injured, and Mu Hanfeng was unable to escape from the fierce battle, the Mu family actually hid a master of the swordsman level.
In a hurry, Yue Leifeng felt his scalp tingling and he quickly drew his sword to protect his vital parts.
Unfortunately, he was too careless and drew his sword hastily. How could he defeat the opponent's long-accumulated sword strike?
"Chi" the long sword pierced through the chest.
"Who are you..." Yue Leifeng stared blankly at the sword on his chest, and looked blankly at the masked man in black. He only saw deep contempt in the other's eyes. Then, his whole body went cold, and he died without even saying the last word.
There was dead silence all around.
A master who was at the level of a swordsman died just like that. He didn't even have time to introduce himself, and he didn't even know who the other party was. He died in such an unclear way!
The man in black sheathed his sword without even glancing at Zhao Sining, who was so frightened that his limbs were limp and his face was pale. He said to Mu Hanyan, "Okay, no one should be in trouble now. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, he floated away, waving his sleeves, without taking away any color, leaving only eyeballs scattered on the ground.
"It's Mu Hanyan again, it's Mu Hanyan again. How many tricks does she have in mind? Also, what ability does she have that can make a master at the level of a swordsman willing to be used by her?" For a moment, everyone looked at Mu Hanyan with awe in their eyes.
"What kind of people are they? I was the one who killed the man, so if you want revenge, you should look for me. Am I really that much of a follower? I am the city lord, the city lord." Among all the people, Mu Hanyan was probably the only one who heard Yan Yuchu's complaints full of resentment and loss when he was leaving.
"Stop, stop. I, Xu Gongcheng, swear in the name of the head of the family that I will serve the Mu family. From now on, the Xu family will belong to the Mu family, and we are willing to be vassals of the Mu family for generations to come." The head of the Xu family suddenly threw down his sword, knelt on the ground, and shouted loudly.
The elder patriarch's sword had already reached for his chest, but he stopped immediately upon hearing this and looked towards Mu Ruian. He wanted to completely eliminate the Zhao, Zhou, Cao, and Xu families, leaving no future trouble. However, since Patriarch Xu had already sworn to serve the Mu family, he couldn't act on his own.
He had witnessed the Mu family's strength firsthand, and now understood why Yuan Tianbo was so determined to stop him, even at the risk of being called a traitor. Such a Mu family, such a Mu Hanyan, was truly beyond their reach. From now on, the Yuan family's rise and fall depended entirely on the Mu family's whims, and he didn't want to cause them to harbor resentment towards him so early.
Looking at the trembling sword tip on his chest, the face of the head of the Xu family was full of sadness and regret.
It was over. Everything was over. If he had known the Mu family was powerful and that Mu Hanyan had secretly made so many arrangements, he would have preferred to move his entire family out of Black Stone City and would never have done what he did today.
At this point, he also vaguely realized that whether it was the unexpected appearance of the second-generation elite of the Mu family, the subsequent strong support of the Wu family, the transformation of the Yuan family, or the mysterious master who disappeared after completing the last sword move, they were all arranged by Mu Hanyan.
Who would have thought that the good-for-nothing dude who was looked down upon by everyone would actually have such great abilities.
Unfortunately, it was too late to think about this now. Although he had sworn to serve the Mu family, it was unknown whether the Mu family would accept him. In other words, the lives of not only him but also the entire Xu family were in Mu Ruian's hands.
"Let's spare his life first." Mu Ruian said.
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Xu felt relieved and collapsed to the ground.
Seeing that the head of the family had sworn allegiance to the Mu family, the elites of the family naturally did not hesitate and threw down their swords and knelt on the ground.
The people of the Zhou and Cao families had been in a panic since the death of their masters. At this time, they had no fighting spirit at all and should have surrendered.
Soon, only the Zhao family members and a group of death warriors were still fighting alone.
"Xu Gongcheng, I can spare your life, but you should at least produce something to prove your sincerity in joining the Mu family." Mu Hanyan looked at those Zhao family members who were still struggling and said to the head of the Xu family with a cold face.
The head of the Xu family was shocked and understood what Mu Hanyan meant.
"Kill them!" The head of the Xu family gritted his teeth, picked up the long sword, and rushed towards those Zhao family members to kill.
Behind him, the remaining elite descendants of the Xu, Cao, and Zhou families could only pick up their swords and follow behind, wielding their knives towards their former allies.
Mu Ruian, the three elders, and the patriarch, Wu Longji, all looked at Mu Hanyan deeply.
The Yuan family hadn't initially participated in today's battle, only arriving to support the Mu family after the conflict had already begun, so it couldn't be said that they were treacherous. However, the Zhao, Zhou, Xu, and Cao families had truly stood together. Patriarch Xu and his men now sided with the Mu family to fight back against the Zhao family, which was tantamount to strife within their own ranks.
From now on, these families will surely become infamous. Even if the Mu family gives them the opportunity to break away from the Mu family and set up their own families, they will no longer have a place to stand in the Holy Court Continent.
It can be said that Mu Hanyan's words completely cut off their retreat. Apart from being loyal to the Mu family for generations, they could no longer find any other way out.
What a deep mind, what a sophisticated method! No wonder he can come up with today's arrangements, he is really not comparable to his peers.
