Chapter 949, A Minor Matter

Translator: Silavin

 

“Rest assured, it’s a minor matter.” Qin Yichen shook his head. It seemed that the Heaven Grade Alchemist could not be found. Originally, he had wanted to help Mu Yanfeng resolve this issue as well. After all, no matter what, they were from the same Sacred Land, and moreover… Li Yuanba had gotten involved with his Biological Sister.

 

He could not simply stand by and do nothing.

 

“A minor… matter?”

 

Hearing these words, a trace of astonishment surged in Mu Xiuyong’s eyes.

 

This was something left behind by a Heaven Grade Alchemist. It was not something that even after assembling dozens of Earth Grade Alchemists, they would have confidence in resolving. Yet, this has become a minor matter in this young man’s mouth?

 

“Could it be that a Heaven Grade Alchemist accompanied this Little Brother on his journey?” Mu Xiuyong couldn’t help but look around, muttering to himself inwardly.

 

But while he was looking left and right, Qin Yichen had already placed his hand on Mu Enxiong’s head, and a wisp of Spiritual Energy directly entered the latter’s Knowledge Sea.

 

*Boom!*

 

A faint sound rang out within Mu Enxiong’s Knowledge Sea. The dark cloud that had been swirling above was directly torn apart by his Spiritual Energy.

 

After tempered in the Nine Illusions Life Extinguishing Flower, his Divine Indestructible Soul Art had reached the Partially Accomplished Stage. Although he still only possessed Early Stage Heaven Grade Spiritual Energy, even the Spiritual Energy of a Peak Heaven Grade Alchemist was not as pure and condensed as his.

 

And the person who had laid down this little trick obviously would never have expected that the Mu Family could find a Heaven Grade Alchemist to break it. Therefore, breaking through this weak method was literally at Qin Yichen’s fingertips.

 

“Ah… Little Brother…”

 

After looking around for a long while, even releasing Spiritual Energy to probe but discovering no hidden great personage anywhere, Mu Xiuyong could not help but question Qin Yichen.

 

And at this moment, Qin Yichen happened to withdraw his hand.

 

As his arm retracted, Mu Enxiong, lying on the bed, let out a low sound, and his tightly closed eyes actually slowly opened.

 

Since he had suffered severe trauma, during this period the Mu Family had spent countless precious High Grade Pills on him. Through this period of recuperation, while it had not healed him completely, the injuries to his body had already recovered more than halfway.

 

The reason he had not awakened was because that Heaven Grade Alchemist had sabotaged his Knowledge Sea, causing him to fall into a comatose slumber. After Qin Yichen dispersed that wisp of troublesome Spiritual Energy, he naturally regained consciousness.

 

“Ah…”

 

Looking at Mu Enxiong, who originally had been completely beyond treatment, actually waking up in the span of a few blinks, Mu Xiuyong’s face was full of shock.

 

Could it be that what young man relied on earlier was not some accompanying Heaven Grade Alchemist, but himself?!

 

As a Peak Earth Grade Alchemist, he knew that such methods were difficult even for him to detect, let alone dispel.

 

[Could this Little Brother be a Heaven Grade Alchemist!? A Heaven Grade Alchemist in his teens!?]

 

Mu Xiuyong felt his mind couldn’t process this turn of events.

 

…

 

Meanwhile, in the great hall of the Mu Family Residence.

 

With Mu Yanfeng’s appearance, the originally tense atmosphere came to a momentary halt.

 

The numerous experts who had come with Fei Yunxiao each wore grave expressions. Although most of them had never seen what Mu Yanfeng looked like, from his appearance and the casual cold snort that scattered the oppressive aura of Fei Yunxiao, a Late Stage Martial Ancestor, they could tell he was definitely no ordinary individual.

 

The cruel, savage smile on Fei Yunxiao’s originally sinister face also froze on his features.

 

[Mu Yanfeng! How is he here!?\

 

Although their Flying Heaven Fort did not fear the Mu Family, and indeed, in terms of strength, as an established Force, they could steadily suppress Mu Family Fort. However, this only applied when setting aside their respective backing Forces and comparing the two Forces’ strength alone!

 

Although Flying Heaven Fort had an Elder from the Seven Stars Sacred Land’s Pill Hall, a mere Elder absolutely could not compare to a Sacred Master Candidate from one of the Sacred Lands, even if it was only from the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land at the bottom of the Twelve Sacred Lands!

 

Because a Sacred Master Candidate was the absolute core of a Sacred Land, someone who in the future might even become a Sacred Master!

 

Although Heaven Grade Alchemists held revered status, in terms of the Sacred Land’s regard for them, they absolutely could not be compared to a Sacred Master Candidate!

 

In the deathly silence, Mu Yanfeng walked through between the weapon-wielding burly men from both sides as if no one else existed.

 

Under everyone’s watchful gaze, he slowly came before the Mu Family members.

 

“Yanfeng…”

 

“Young Master Mu!”

 

Compared to the other side’s deathly silence and Fei Yunxiao’s grim expression, the Mu Family members appeared exceptionally excited, with trembling voices full of emotion emerging from their mouths.

 

“Yanfeng, is it really you?”

 

The Grand Elder also looked at this familiar face, its childishness shed and filled with maturity, his voice trembling as he could not help but ask.

 

“Grand Elder.” Mu Yanfeng smiled and nodded lightly. He hadn’t returned in over ten years, and unexpectedly, passing by his family, he encountered such a major incident. If he hadn’t come back, today Mu Family would likely have turned into a river of blood…

 

“It’s Young Master Yanfeng who has returned!”

 

“It really is Young Master Yanfeng. Let’s see who dares to touch our Mu Family now!”

 

Behind the Grand Elder, the numerous Mu Family experts finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if a weight had been lifted. An atmosphere of excited joy replaced the previous desperate resolve for a final stand, and quite a few Mu Family members even cried out in excitement.

 

At this moment, those experts who originally did not know of Mu Yanfeng’s identity and had been speculating, upon hearing the name ‘Mu Yanfeng’, their expressions completely darkened.

 

The Sacred Master Candidate of Brilliant Sky Sacred Land!

 

Setting aside his identity, his earlier casual display of skill alone let people know that he was definitely an expert capable of rivalling Fei Yunxiao!

 

Moreover, as a Sacred Master Candidate of one of the Sacred Lands, the trump cards he possessed absolutely could not be compared to Fei Yunxiao’s!

 

Fei Yunxiao’s expression was also extremely unsightly. His gaze fixed deadly on Mu Yanfeng, and from the latter’s body, he perceived an extremely dangerous feeling.

 

“Several Elders, is everyone all right?” Mu Yanfeng, with his back to those outsiders whose expressions fluctuated between light and dark, said to the Grand Elder and the other two.

 

“We’re fine!”

 

The Second Elder heroically patted his chest, though it couldn’t conceal his somewhat unsteady breathing.

 

Mu Yanfeng smiled faintly and retrieved from his bosom a bottle of pills that Qin Yichen had prepared for him, casually handing it over.

 

Then, he slowly turned around, the smile on his face instantly vanishing completely, replaced by a chill that made people’s hearts turn cold.

 

Mu Yanfeng’s icy gaze slowly swept across the crowd opposite. Not a single expert dared to meet his eyes wherever his gaze passed.

 

“Over ten years apart, Fort Master Fei’s prestige remains undiminished!” Finally, Mu Yanfeng’s gaze rested on Fei Yunxiao, and a voice tinged with slight anger also rang out in the great hall.
