Chapter 1041: Chapter 126: Just in Time! (Third Update)

"On what grounds do you claim he is the Young Master of the Mu Clan?" The Purple Light God Emperor snorted coldly.

Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow and couldn’t help but ask, "What does the God Emperor mean by that?"

"What do I mean?" The Purple Light God Emperor’s eyes were cold, and the sneer at the corner of his mouth gradually widened. "The remnants of the Mu Clan have been rampant for ten thousand years and have never been completely eradicated. Even when some are captured from time to time, they’re just small fry. Why is it that upon your arrival, you just happened to kill the Young Master of the Mu Clan during your trials in the Nine Heavens?"

After hearing the Purple Light God Emperor’s words, Mu Qingge laughed dismissively, "So the God Emperor doubts my good fortune."

"Yes, good fortune. Thousands of Divine Domain disciples died, yet you survived." There was an underlying implication in the Purple Light God Emperor’s words, and his tone was filled with distrust towards Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge lowered her eyes with a smile, then looked up at him. "Then what does the God Emperor think the truth is?"

The Purple Light God Emperor fell silent.

His gaze fell upon Mu Qingge, and the aura of the Saint Realm abruptly declined.

Mu Qingge’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, her gaze turning icy cold.

She sneered, "Is the God Emperor planning to coerce me into a confession?" Her sarcastic tone and gaze showed no sign of weakness, and she was not worried at all about not being able to leave the Purple Light God Emperor’s Palace.

The Purple Light God Emperor squinted his eyes, a cold glint appearing in their creases, staring at her without speaking. However, the pressure on her showed no signs of weakening.

’What exactly does the Purple Light God Emperor want?’ Mu Qingge bore the divine pressure of the Saint Realm while pondering in her heart.

Initially, she thought the Purple Light God Emperor merely suspected her statements. However, her words were impeccable, and she could easily provide evidence supporting her claims. Yet the Purple Light God Emperor couldn’t produce effective evidence to refute what she said.

Therefore, she remained calm without any urgency.

But now, the Purple Light God Emperor suddenly exerted pressure on her, and it seemed his purpose was not related to Mu Tianyin’s identity or whether the person she killed was indeed the Young Master of the Mu Clan, but something else.

Indeed, when she figured it out, the Purple Light God Emperor spoke again. "Alright, assuming the person you killed truly was the Young Master of the Mu Clan. Did you take anything off him after you killed him?"

Hum!

Mu Qingge coldly snorted in her heart. The fox’s tail finally revealed itself.

She now completely understood the Purple Light God Emperor’s agenda. To put it plainly, just like those thousands of Divine Domain disciples in the Nine Heavens, he assumed that by killing the Young Master of the Mu Clan, she obtained the Divine Strategy.

Actually, their thinking isn’t unreasonable.

Because for the Mu Clan, the Divine Strategy must be possessed, and possibly cultivated, by the most important and highest-ranking person.

Mu Tianyin was the Young Master of the Mu Clan and had no reason not to have studied the Divine Strategy.

Hence, the Divine Strategy must be on him. Moreover, not long ago when Wuhua God Emperor lost something, wasn’t Mu Tianyin also there then? He was even a suspect of Wuhua God Emperor.

What was lost... a few God Emperors were well aware.

By killing him, Mu Qingge naturally obtained the spoils from his body.

Mu Qingge curled her lips into a smile and said calmly, "I killed him, and therefore everything on him naturally belongs to me. Is it not redundant for the God Emperor to ask this?"

"Very well, as long as you admit it." The Purple Light God Emperor’s gaze became sharper.

It seemed he had been waiting for Mu Qingge’s words.

The Purple Light God Emperor leaned forward slightly, stretched out his right hand, reaching towards Mu Qingge. "Hand it over."

Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow and laughed mockingly, "What does the God Emperor want me to hand over?"

"Don’t pretend not to understand." The Purple Light God Emperor’s eyebrows furrowed slightly; a hint of impatience was already evident in his eyes.

Mu Qingge slowly shook her head, "It’s not pretending; I truly don’t understand."

Her response caused the Purple Light God Emperor’s expression to darken, his originally indifferent arrogance now suffused with a biting coldness. "Do you think I dare not take action against you?"

Mu Qingge sneered inwardly. While the Purple Light God Emperor seemed to be speaking calmly with her, he was secretly applying pressure. If she wasn’t able to withstand it, she would have already crumbled to the ground.

"What does the Purple Light God Emperor plan to do to me?" Mu Qingge provocatively asked. That’s her nature; the more she’s pressured, the more she resists.

"Humph."

Her attitude infuriated the Purple Light God Emperor, and with a cold snort, he intensified the pressure, causing her shoulders to seem as though they were cracking under the strain.

Mu Qingge let out a muffled groan, pressed her lips tightly together, and coldly looked at the Purple Light God Emperor, with not a trace of submission in her gaze.

With her physique, she was being crushed to the point of having bone fractures. If it were someone else, they would likely have died on the spot.

The Purple Light God Emperor’s eyes flashed with a trace of surprise as he forcefully flicked his sleeve, leaning on the Divine Emperor’s Throne, looking down at her as he spoke, "Mu Qingge, you are not a God Emperor yet. In front of me, it’s better to restrain yourself. This place is neither East Divine Land nor Huan Yue Domain. Whether I choose to give face to the Huan Yue God Emperor depends on my mood."

He paused for a moment, then added with emphasized tone, "Are you going to hand over the item or not!"

"No." Mu Qingge’s gaze turned icy as she squeezed the words through clenched teeth, showing no willingness to compromise.

"You’re seeking death!" The Purple Light God Emperor’s eyes sharpened and killing intent emerged.

With his words, Mu Qingge felt the pressure doubling, and the Saint Realm aura almost pulverized her body.

Her facial veins bulged, her complexion turned purplish, and her clear eyes began to bloodshot. Her knees did not bend a bit, her back did not hunch at all.

Under the immense pressure, she slowly lifted her head, her eyes fiercely meeting those of the Purple Light God Emperor.

And such a gaze, in the eyes of the Purple Light God Emperor, appeared as pure provocation.

"Insolent!" The Purple Light God Emperor snorted coldly, preparing to further punish Mu Qingge. Just then, a disciple reported from outside.

"Reporting to the God Emperor, people from East God Land Huan Yue Domain have arrived. They say they were sent by Huan Yue God Emperor to retrieve their young God Emperor."

’They’ve come!’ Hearing this, Mu Qingge thought to herself.

The Purple Light God Emperor’s eyes sharpened, his gaze flickered a few times before he spoke, "Let them in."

"Understood."

The person outside the hall retreated.

The pressure on Mu Qingge was suddenly lifted.

She sighed inwardly, glad that the senior brothers from the Huan Yue Domain arrived just in time. If this had continued, it might have ended badly.

The Purple Light God Emperor’s voice rang out again, "Mu Qingge, by handing me what you have, you’ll save yourself a lot of trouble. If you persist in refusal, you might find that future encounters are much less amicable. Consider carefully and don’t let temporary obstinacy ruin you." ℴℴ𝘮

After warning Mu Qingge, four people had already entered from outside the hall.

Leading them was naturally a disciple from his Purple Light Domain.

Mu Qingge also turned her gaze towards the four entering people, feeling a moment of surprise when she recognized them. She didn’t expect that those coming this time were all acquaintances, and their relations were rather good.
