Chapter 1016: Chapter 101: Are You Worthy?

"Between you and him, only one can live."

The words of the Tianlu spoke made Mu Qingge’s eyes narrow slightly.

Suddenly, she began to smile.

The Tianlu spoke looked at her without speaking.

After laughing, her tone was calm, one could even say composed, "Did the Tianlu spoke come to me just to tell me this?"

The Tianlu spoke remained silent.

She continued, "Between Mu Tianyin and me, it was destined that only one could live from the moment he first tried to kill me. Moreover, I am very certain that he will be the one to die."

"You sure are confident," said the Tianlu spoke as he looked at her.

Mu Qingge curled her lips, "It’s not confidence; it’s simply because I don’t want to die. Since I don’t want to die, then the one who has to die will be him."

The Tianlu spoke studied her, taking a while before saying, "You are quite impressive. You have come, step by step, from the Lower Realm to here. Even when facing me, you haven’t shown a trace of panic; you are very impressive."

Mu Qingge’s eyes held a playful glint.

She couldn’t agree with the Tianlu spoke’s thinking. Why should she lower herself before him? Her journey to this point wasn’t for anyone’s affirmation, nor for others’ praise. She just persisted and fought continuously for her own goals.

Along the way, some hated her to the bone, some slandered and defamed her, some schemed against her secretly, and some openly attempted to kill her. But similarly, some were willing to entrust their lives to her and some willingly died for her’s sake at Nine Springs.

She regarded all these as a form of sharpening; her resolve had never changed.

So now, saying such things in front of her, was the Tianlu spoke trying to make her ecstatically happy, thinking she had been recognized?

Ha, ridiculous!

’Why should anyone pass judgment on me, Mu Qingge?’ Mu Qingge rebuked fiercely in her heart.

"He is beside you, isn’t he? Could you let us meet face to face?" the Tianlu spoke suddenly said.

He?

Who could it be referring to...

Mu Qingge stared straight at the Tianlu spoke, with no sense of guilt or fear. Even though at this moment, she was unable to move, her aura remained undiminished.

’Young Master, let me come out,’ the High Priest’s voice sounded in Mu Qingge’s mind.

This made Mu Qingge understand to whom the Tianlu spoke referred with ’he’.

Her gaze flickered and around Mu Qingge, Space Power fluctuated, and suddenly a figure appeared by her side. As soon as he appeared, he waved his hand.

Instantly, the power that had immobilized Mu Qingge and Yin Chen dissolved, restoring their ability to move.

Once able to move, Yin Chen immediately approached Mu Qingge, his blood-red eyes warily fixed on the Tianlu spoke. And the Divine Demon Puppet also moved beside Mu Qingge.

Yin Chen wanted to act, but Mu Qingge stopped him.

She looked at the two old men standing face to face, both wearing white robes and holding scepters, both with silver hair and crane-like features, even their aura was indistinguishable.

What surprised her most was realizing that the High Priest possessed such power, able to break the Tianlu spoke’s constraints with just a wave.

The Tianlu spoke...

In fact, the two present were both Tianlu spokes of the Mu Clan.

However, neither Mu Qingge nor Mu Tianyin knew the names of the guides for each other.

One was referred to as the High Priest, the other as the teacher.

"Long time no see, Senior Brother," the High Priest spoke first, a smile on his face.

The Tianlu spoke also spoke, but his expression remained cold, "Indeed, it has been a long time. You returned sooner than I thought."

The High Priest smiled and nodded, "Yes. I chose a good master, so I returned a bit earlier."

"You are quite confident," the Tianlu spoke remarked.

The High Priest smiled and countered, "Doesn’t Senior Brother have confidence in the person he himself trained?"

The Tianlu spoke stated calmly, "My confidence doesn’t matter, nor does your confidence matter. The only thing that matters is the revival of the Mu Clan. This is the responsibility of both you and me as Tianlu spokes of the Mu Clan."

The smile on the High Priest’s face gradually faded.

He already understood that tonight, his senior brother’s sudden meeting with Mu Qingge was not simple.

"Senior Brother, what do you plan to do?" the High Priest asked warily.

The Tianlu spoke shook his head slowly, "I have only done one thing for ten thousand years."

The High Priest pressed his lips together, his brows furrowing.

Even after ten thousand years of not seeing him, he could not understand his senior brother, still feeling a sense of elusiveness around him.

"The remaining power of the Mu Clan should not be squandered on internal feuds. Now, since the person you chose has reached the Divine Land, it is time to settle it," the Tianlu spoke stated unanticipatedly.

The implications hidden in these words made both Mu Qingge and the High Priest secretly taken aback.

The Tianlu spoke turned his eyes towards Mu Qingge.

And Mu Qingge’s clear eyes met his gaze unflinchingly.

"Earlier, I told you that between you and Tianyin, only one can survive," the Tianlu spoke said slowly, "I have conveyed this message to him as well."

In the tower, silence prevailed, awaiting the Tianlu spoke’s next words.

"Tianyin wants to kill you, and you want to kill Tianyin. So, I will give you an opportunity to truly face each other in a competition," the Tianlu spoke said further.

"Senior Brother, you..." the High Priest couldn’t help but speak.

But, as soon as he began, the Tianlu spoke raised his scepter, preventing him from continuing.

The Tianlu spoke remained focused on Mu Qingge and continued, "The former land of the Mu Clan is in the West Divine Land. I will give you a month to get there, where Tianyin will be waiting for you. Then, you two will engage in a deathmatch on the grounds of the Mu Clan. The victor will be the true Young Master of the Mu Clan, shouldering the responsibility of leading the entire Mu Clan to rise, revive, and take revenge!"

"No, this can’t be done!" Even though Mu Qingge hadn’t responded, the High Priest hurriedly stopped it.

His urgency prompted both Mu Qingge and the Tianlu spoke to look at him.

There was some confusion in Mu Qingge’s eyes; she did not quite understand why the High Priest was so desperate to stop it.

The High Priest, amidst Mu Qingge’s puzzlement, said, "After the Mu Clan’s demise, the road to the Mu Clan’s former land is fraught with various dangers, and there are other Divine Domain people searching there, it’s too dangerous. Change the place!"

After speaking, he looked at the Tianlu spoke.

However, the Tianlu spoke did not show any emotional fluctuation, merely stating calmly, "If one doesn’t have the courage and ability even to set foot on the Mu Clan’s former land, how can they qualify to compete for the position of Young Master of the Mu Clan?"

His words left the High Priest speechless.

He then looked at Mu Qingge, adding, "This battle is between you and Tianyin. I won’t intervene, nor will he," pointing at the High Priest.

"I know you are looking for the Divine Strategy Lower Volume. I can tell you that it has been divided into five parts. And now, I have two pieces in my possession, and you probably have one as well."
