Enraged, Murong Juehu coughed up a mouthful of blood...
In all my years, this is the first time I've been slapped in the face so hard; it's like digging up my ancestors' graves...
"Boy, that's enough! How dare you humiliate me like this..."
Murong Juehu pointed at me through gritted teeth and said…
"I am a God of War now. You think you can humiliate me just because I am a God of War? Why are you still angry?"
I looked at him knowingly and said…
Murong Juehu really wanted to say, "Is that what I meant? I just wanted to stop you from humiliating me, who knew you'd actually break through to Martial God..."
To avoid eating excrement, Murong Juehu closed his eyes and pretended to be unconscious...
"Ahem... Leave a way out for others..."
Before Master Xiang could finish speaking, I interrupted him and said...
"You bastard..."
"you…"
Master Xiang was so angry by my words that he couldn't speak...
I ignored him and instead spoke to Murong Juehu.
"Hey... stop pretending to be dead? Even if you're dead, you can't break your vow..."
Seeing that I was relentless, the Murong family had no choice but to send someone to help Murong Juehu up, and then casually stuff a piece of rice cake into his mouth, thus fulfilling their vow…
I watched all of this with amusement. Even though the handstand wasn't part of the process, I still felt incredibly satisfied. The feeling of being slapped in the face was just too good to pass up…
Most importantly, Murong Juehu eventually ate the poisonous centipede cake…
As I watched Murong Juehu being carried away, I turned to look at Murong Qingyi…
The old man trembled under my gaze, no longer daring to harbor any illusions, and hurriedly kowtowed while begging my son Tuoba San for forgiveness...
The Murong family has utterly lost face today. They have no more reason to stay and all turn and flee, abandoning even Murong Qingyi…
They were all important figures, how could they stand being pointed at and talked about by the disciples of the sect?
Xiang Daoren couldn't help but close his eyes. He had truly lost a lot for a little. The Murong family had suffered such a humiliating disgrace and would certainly not let it go. Moreover, his attitude as the sect leader had also displeased the Murong family. Presumably, they would not inform him, the sect leader, of their subsequent retaliatory actions...
Qingyunzi witnessed everything, and his eyes flickered for a moment when I broke through...
While others watched the spectacle with amusement, the Murong family was thoroughly humiliated, much to the secret delight of many disciples who had been bullied by the Murong family. Even those who had no grudge against them felt that the Murong family deserved it…
Only Qingyunzi saw my talent; even the most outstanding geniuses couldn't break through so easily...
So he felt that both my son and I were exceptional geniuses, except that my son was blessed with great fortune, which no one else could compare to…
"Alright, you can get lost now..."
Tuoba San said coldly, "If this weren't the Qingyun Sect, I really wouldn't mind killing Murong Qingyi. After all, there's no need to indulge an enemy..."
Murong Qingyi felt as if he had been granted a pardon. Even though he was a Martial God, he had already lost all face. From now on, he and Murong Juehu would have to be careful when they went out in the Qingyun Sect, otherwise, being pointed at and talked about every time would definitely leave them with inner demons...
"Haha...Alright, now that the matter is resolved, let's return to the Qingyun Sect..."
Qingyunzi was in high spirits. Seeing Xiang Daoren's ugly expression, he felt an unprecedented sense of joy...
"Senior Qingyunzi, what's going on with this palace?"
Tuoba San didn't immediately return to the sect with Qingyunzi. Instead, he pointed to the palace above and asked in confusion...
A hint of helplessness flashed in Qingyunzi's eyes, and he sighed deeply.
"This is hard to explain. The owner of this palace is very powerful, and I can't afford to offend him..."
These words startled Tuoba San. He thought to himself, "There are people that the Qingyun Sect can't afford to offend? That can't be right."
"Senior Qingyunzi, this is the Qingyun Sect. Even if the other party has a powerful background, they shouldn't be so disrespectful, right?"
Hearing Tuoba San's question, Qingyunzi said helplessly.
"You've also met the owner of the palace..."
After Qingyunzi's words, he carefully examined the palace's decorations. Everything was too luxurious and too feminine, with many parts appearing overly delicate and exquisite...
Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure in a portrait in the palace—someone he could never forget in his life…
Although it was only a brief encounter, it still left an indelible impression on him…
Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden!
"Senior Qingyunzi, this palace belongs to her..."
Qingyunzi naturally knew who the "she" Tuoba San was referring to was, so he nodded and said...
"That's right..."
The sealed Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was actually her palace…
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden disappeared in the Three Forbidden Lands. Tuoba San was puzzled by her whereabouts. Everyone from the Qingyun Sect was still alive; the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden couldn't have just died like that…
At that time, the Three Forbidden Zones collapsed, and there was simply no time to think too much...
If the pressure of approaching the spiritual root of heaven and earth is a test, then perhaps he passed that test the moment he approached the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, and the Human Emperor Sword might be a reward...
The role that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden played in all of this was something that Tuoba San found difficult to understand…
The connection between the Emperor's Sword and the palace might be telling him that the Emperor's Sword is related to the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden...
Is she there?
Tuoba San's eyes flickered with an indescribable emotion, which I noticed from the side—there was definitely some gossip going on...
"Not here..."
Qingyunzi said with absolute certainty…
"Why are you so sure, senior?"
"She prefers peace and quiet. If we were making this much noise, she probably would have already taken action..."
Qingyunzi's explanation left Tuoba San speechless; the reason was indeed a bit far-fetched...
"Sons, who are you talking about?"
I asked Tuoba San telepathically…
"Father, I have encountered the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden..."
Tuoba San responded with a hint of loss, clearly still thinking about it...
Hearing that name, my eyes lit up immediately. This is an incredibly important person! And most importantly, her physique is amazing…
No wonder my grown son can't forget her; such a treasured woman is indeed unforgettable...
However, judging from the looks of it, this Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden is probably a very important female lead in the story. It seems a bit immoral of me to snatch her away...
If anyone heard me say that, they'd probably slap me twice. I know it's immoral, and I still managed to steal two...
Tuoba San pondered whether he should take some time to explore the palace; perhaps he would find some clues...
"Third Sister, without the permission of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, no one is allowed to enter this palace..."
Qingyunzi seemed to have seen through what Tuoba San was thinking, and dispelled his idea of entering...
Tuoba San and I entered the Qingyun Sect together, while Xuan Shan and his group were left outside the sect...
Upon arriving at the main hall, Tuoba San turned to Xiang Daoren and said...
"Sect Master, you go ahead with your work. I'd like to catch up with Senior Qingyunzi..."
This caused Xiang Daoren's eyes to flicker, but he said nothing. After giving Tuoba San a deep look, he turned and left...
