Chapter 950, A Dramatic Reversal

Translator: Silavin

 

“Hehe, Nephew Yanfeng, I never expected that in just over ten years, you’ve already grown to such a level. Truly astonishing!” Although Fei Yunxiao was quite displeased inwardly, he had not been foolish enough to take action against a Sacred Master Candidate from a Sacred Land!

 

Setting aside whether he could defeat the latter, as soon as they fought, what was originally just a conflict between two Second Tier Forces would completely change in nature, becoming an attack by them on Brilliant Sky Sacred Land!

 

This kind of action challenges a Sacred Land’s authority. Even the Seven Stars Sacred Land would no longer care if he lived or died!

 

When it came down to it, what was he worth? Did he deserve having the Seven Stars Sacred Land declare war on Brilliant Sky Sacred Land for him!?

 

Moreover, with the Compound Pill causing such a stir now, the Seven Stars Sacred Land still had to make requests of Brilliant Sky Sacred Land. They would be even less likely to take extreme actions.

 

Of course, regarding the Compound Pill matter, only some Top Tier Forces had heard whispers of it. A Force like Flying Heaven Fort naturally had no qualification to be privy to such information.

 

“Fort Master Fei, let’s dispense with the nonsense. Was it you who just said you would annihilate my Mu Family!?” Mu Yanfeng sneered coldly and with a slight wave of his sleeve, immediately a fine crack spread across the hard stone floor.

 

He was deliberately establishing his authority!

 

Having been designated as a Sacred Master Candidate by Brilliant Sky Sacred Land was something known to all. To move against his Mu Family, wasn’t this clearly showing disrespect to Mu Yanfeng!?

 

Sensing this mighty power, everyone’s hearts tensed.

 

*Pang!*

 

The crack rapidly spread in Fei Yunxiao’s direction. The latter stamped his foot, blocking this hidden move, but his form could not help retreating three steps in succession, each step leaving a shallow footprint.

 

Sensing the skill Mu Yanfeng had displayed, Fei Yunxiao’s expression became completely grave. However, he was worthy of being the Fort Master. With a loud laugh, he concealed his embarrassment and smiled. “Sacred Master Candidate Mu, today’s events are all a misunderstanding. We came only because we heard that the Mu Family encountered some trouble. Flying Heaven Fort and the Mu Family have quite a few cooperative ventures, so naturally Flying Heaven Fort needed to come and show our concern!”

 

Seeing Fei Yunxiao’s stance, the experts behind him could not help but sigh inwardly. It seemed that today, forget about annexing Mu Family Fort’s territory, escaping unscathed would likely prove difficult!

 

“Is that so!?” A teasing smile curved Mu Yanfeng’s lips as he said. “If that’s the case, then we’ll have to trouble all of you to scout the way for us.”

 

Hearing these words, Fei Yunxiao and the others’ expressions suddenly changed!

 

At Prisoner Dragon Slope, a hundred kilometres away from here, the phenomenon of a rare treasure emerging had occurred. But anyone knew that wherever rare treasures appeared, great danger accompanied them!

 

They had obtained permission from the Mu Family but still wanted the Mu Family to scout ahead first, precisely for this reason.

 

No one wanted to become cannon fodder and die without even seeing the treasure!

 

“Sacred Master Candidate Mu, we have made a great offence today. Another day, Flying Heaven Fort will definitely come to apologise in person. As for this matter regarding the treasure, Flying Heaven Fort has decided to withdraw and not participate, so there’s no need for that, right?” Fei Yunxiao said with a rather grim expression. Clearly, he had not expected that in just a quarter of an hour, the positions between the two sides would undergo such a massive reversal!

 

“There is a need!” However, faced with his concession, Mu Yanfeng had absolutely no intention of letting the matter rest. Instead, he looked at them with a half-smile, his emotionless voice ringing out.

 

“Sacred Master Candidate Mu, although your strength cannot be taken lightly, wanting to rely on yourself alone to hold back so many of us is being a bit too overconfident.” Fei Yunxiao said in a grave voice. Although he had suffered a hidden loss in their earlier exchange, if he wanted to leave, Mu Yanfeng would still find it difficult to stop him.

 

And as long as he left and performed the appropriate courtesies, Brilliant Sky Sacred Land would have no reason to move against him. As for Mu Yanfeng, he could spend some resources later and invite those fellows who had joined him in severely injuring Mu Enxiong, eliminating him while no one was watching. Then, there would be no need to fear!

 

Hearing Fei Yunxiao’s words, the numerous experts behind him also looked around, as if ready to seize the opportunity to flee this place of conflict the moment the two began fighting.

 

“Do you really think my Mu Family is a place you can come and go as you please!?” Just then, a loud shout rolled forth like thunder, resonating in everyone’s ears.

 

“Mu Enxiong!?” Hearing this familiar voice, everyone’s expressions changed.

 

[Impossible! How could he wake up? He should have had his Soul dissipate in a few days!] Fei Yunxiao’s expression also changed. With Mu Yanfeng plus Mu Enxiong, even he would find escaping unscathed difficult.

 

“It’s the Patriarch’s voice. Could the Patriarch have recovered!?”

 

The Mu Family members, in contrast, were each filled with excitement.

 

Mu Enxiong was their pillar of support!

 

Ever since Mu Enxiong fell, facing external pressure, the Mu Family members felt as if the sky had collapsed. Without their anchor, they could only suffer humiliation.

 

*Huu…* Mu Yanfeng breathed a slight sigh of relief.

 

Clearly, this was Qin Yichen’s doing.

 

No one understood better than him what kind of monster Qin Yichen was.

 

He had witnessed with his own eyes how Li Yuanba, grievously injured and on the verge of death, had been forcibly saved by Qin Yichen. That young man had methods that could only be described as Heaven Defying.

 

Speaking of which, this journey to Saints Heavenly Manor, his primary task was actually to escort Qin Yichen.

 

This was personally entrusted to him by Brilliant Sky Sacred Master, Yu Qianqiu. This would ensure Qin Yichen’s safety at all costs.

 

Moments later, Mu Enxiong strode forth with Dragon-like vigour, arriving at the great hall.

 

His aura surged powerfully, his spirit full of energy. Where was there any trace of injury?

 

“This is impossible!” Looking at Mu Enxiong before him, Fei Yunxiao blurted out, his eyes revealing astonishment and incomprehension.

 

Only he knew that Mu Enxiong absolutely should not be able to wake up.

 

Because that Heaven Grade Alchemist was someone he had spent enormous resources to invite.

 

This had also been to ensure absolute certainty.

 

Therefore, seeing Mu Enxiong standing before him without the slightest problem, he found it somewhat difficult to accept.

 

Qin Yichen, arriving at the great hall together with Mu Xiuyong, seeing Fei Yunxiao’s reaction, roughly understood that the Heaven Grade Alchemist was definitely invited by the person before his eyes.

 

“Eldest Uncle!” Mu Yanfeng stepped forward respectfully.

 

“Good, it’s good that you’ve returned!” Mu Enxiong patted his shoulder, his face full of gratification.

 

In the future, even if he fell, his Mu Family would have a Successor.

 

The two did not linger in sentimentality for long. Mu Enxiong turned around, a powerful Momentum rolling forth from his body, pressing towards those experts.

 

Until this moment, the final trace of hope remaining in the hearts of Fei Yunxiao’s group completely vanished.
