Chapter 1037 - 122: Congratulations to Mu Xiao Divine Emperor!

Chapter 1037: Chapter 122: Congratulations to Mu Xiao Divine Emperor!

Yin Chen, Bai Xi, and Hou, silently watched Mu Qingge, all taking a deep breath in unison, their eyes filled with shock.

Terrifying!

What was initially a certain death situation was effortlessly reversed by Mu Qingge, and that wasn’t enough—she also managed to extract the greatest benefit, becoming the ultimate winner!

"Humans are indeed cunning," Hou eventually remarked coldly, though it was unclear if there was praise or criticism in his words.

Mu Qingge didn’t mind, the smile on her lips only added to her enigmatic aura.

"My God, Qingge, sometimes I really want to pry open your head and see what’s on your mind," Bai Xi couldn’t help but say.

Yin Chen, amidst his shock, thought about the causes and consequences and understood the intention behind Mu Qingge’s actions. "By killing the Mu Clan’s Young Master, Qingge will no longer have her identity questioned. Not only does this earn her merit for the Divine Domain, but it also allows her to move freely across the Four Seas Divine Land. With such achievements, no one would dare underestimate you, the little God Emperor of the Huan Yue Domain. The four Divine Domains of the West Divine Land will also be at ease with you, making future actions more convenient."

Mu Qingge smiled and nodded, confirming that Yin Chen’s speculation was entirely correct.

Admiration! Truly admiring! What else could they say?

When Mu Qingge plays mind games, she’s not someone an average person can contend with!

Outside the mirror, the observer Tianlu was already silent, watching Mu Qingge with eyes filled with shifting clouds, unreadable. But the High Priest noticed some clues.

Those clues signified joy... or perhaps surprise.

"Yuanyuan, go back to the space to see Mengmeng, she’s missed you," Mu Qingge turned to Yuanyuan and said.

Mentioning Mengmeng made Yuanyuan’s playful face turn a bit more serious.

Mu Qingge opened the space, and with a turn, Yuanyuan disappeared from sight. Then, Mu Qingge looked at Bai Xi and Hou: "You two go back as well."

Bai Xi nodded.

She was on the brink of a breakthrough; this call was temporary, and now she needed to hurry back to continue charging through the barrier.

However, Hou said, "Girl, I’m not going."

"Are you leaving?" Mu Qingge asked. Her contract with Hou was long dissolved, and Hou stayed by her side voluntarily.

After Hou nodded, Mu Qingge lightly nodded as well, "Well, then, if you need transportation, let me know."

"I need to return to the Demon Forest. Although your Elixir healed my injuries, to become stronger, I must return to the Demon Forest. Once I resolve those bastards there, I’ll come back for you," Hou explained his plan.

Everyone has their fate and path to follow.

Even Mu Qingge cannot force anyone to give up everything just to follow her.

So, regarding Hou’s choice, she merely said two words: "Take care."

As for offering help, she felt no need to be so formal with Hou. If he needed assistance, she was confident Hou would not hesitate to ask.

Hou gave her a deep look and said, "Girl, you take care too. If anyone dares to bully you, just mention my name."

Mu Qingge chuckled softly.

Then, Hou advised Yin Chen and Bai Xi, "You two are of the Beast Clan. To become stronger and help the girl more, visit the Demon Forest if you get a chance."

He turned to Mu Qingge, "Girl, you too. The Divine Demon Continent is vast, visiting the Demon Forest when you have a chance won’t harm you."

"Certainly," Mu Qingge promised.

In truth, even without Hou’s reminder, given the chance, she would have gone to see what the Demon Forest was like.

Hou left, departing elegantly alone.

Bai Xi also returned to space, and Mu Qingge took away the Divine Demon Puppet, standing with Yin Chen beside Mu Tianyin’s corpse.

"Cut off his head," Mu Qingge instructed.

Yin Chen executed without hesitation, severing Mu Tianyin’s head cleanly. Holding it in hand, he turned to Mu Qingge and said, "Qingge, although doing this makes your identity safer, it will also draw attention to you concerning the Divine Strategy."

Yin Chen’s reminder was very pertinent.

With Mu Tianyin dead at Mu Qingge’s hand, the coveted Divine Strategy was most likely in Mu Qingge’s possession.

Mu Qingge, however, nonchalantly smiled, "No worries, I’m the Huan Yue Little God Emperor. Even if they have suspicions, they dare not act openly. I’ll send a message back to have the Huan Yue Domain people come for support."

Yin Chen’s eyes flashed, having fully grasped Mu Qingge’s intention.

She wanted the four God Emperors of the West Divine Land to believe that even if she had the Fragmented Scripture of the Divine Strategy Lower Volume, she had already handed it over to the Huan Yue God Emperor. They could pressure her, but they couldn’t pressure the Huan Yue God Emperor, at least not to the point of breaking ties.

Seeing that Mu Qingge had thought everything through, Yin Chen no longer tried to persuade her.

They descended from the Nine Heavens with Mu Tianyin’s head, approaching the High Priest and the observer Tianlu.

Watching Mu Qingge walk against the light, Tianlu appeared somewhat dumbstruck, as if he was seeing the Mu Ancestor walking towards him.

"Initially, I needed an explanation from you. But now, it’s unnecessary," Mu Qingge said flatly to Tianlu and then looked at the High Priest.

The latter understood and immediately walked past Tianlu, nodding at her, "Young Master."

"Let’s go," Mu Qingge looked deeply at Tianlu before turning to leave with Yin Chen and the High Priest.

Throughout, she never mentioned anything about the Mu Clan’s Young Master, nor did she feel the need to explain Mu Tianyin’s death to Tianlu.

Every word and action of hers was that of a qualified ruler.

As a leader, she need not explain every move or decision to everyone. Not even to Tianlu!

Watching the three of them depart, Tianlu stood still.

Only when Mu Qingge was out of sight did his inscrutable eyes reflect complex emotions—a mix of joy and dilemma.

...

Mu Qingge retraced her steps toward the area under Purple Light Domain’s watch.

"Little God Emperor, you’ve returned so quickly!" By chance, she encountered Yin Ping, who had previously guided her.

The Divine Domain disciples who entered the Nine Heavens came directly from the Divine Domain, not these guards stationed outside the Nine Heavens.

Seeing him, Mu Qingge frowned, her expression grave as she said, "Why, when such a significant event took place within the Nine Heavens, you guards were completely unaware?"

Her direct questioning left Yin Ping, who had been smiling ingratiatingly, stupefied.

For a moment, he was dumbfounded, unable to grasp the implication of Mu Qingge’s words. Just as he was about to inquire about what transpired in the Nine Heavens, he suddenly noticed the head Yin Chen was carrying.

In an instant, his eyes narrowed in shock as he asked, "Little God Emperor, who is this person?"

"While alive, the remnants of the Mu Clan referred to him as the Young Master," Mu Qingge replied nonchalantly.

"What!" Yin Ping seemed utterly terrified, involuntarily letting out a cry. His exclamation instantly drew others’ attention.

But he had no time to focus on others’ reactions, cautiously seeking confirmation from Mu Qingge once more: "Little God Emperor, who did you say he was?"

"If he wasn’t just being secretive, he should indeed be the Mu Clan’s Young Master," Mu Qingge reiterated.

*Hiss—!*
