Chapter 1044: Chapter 129: I Want to Meet the Young Divine Emperor, Mu

"Should we notify the God Emperor in advance?" Xuan Qiang asked.

Mu Qingge raised her eyes to look at her and slowly shook her head.

Li Chao explained, "The third brother has already informed the God Emperor about this matter. However, the God Emperor only instructed us to come and take the third brother back safely. Furthermore, the God Emperor is undoubtedly aware of what this might trigger, and he has instructed us to return to the Huan Yue Domain on our own, which implies that he wants us to handle this matter ourselves."

"Indeed, that is the God Emperor’s intention," Qian Shui nodded in agreement.

Zhuang Shan also said, "We cannot rely on the God Emperor for everything; we must find a way to solve it ourselves."

All four had expressed their stance, leaving Xuan Qiang no choice but to nod in agreement with the group’s decision.

"Third brother, do you have the Qiankun Device of the Mu Clan’s Young Master in your possession?" Li Chao asked.

Mu Qingge nodded. "After killing him, I naturally took the Qiankun Device easily. Even if I claimed I didn’t take it now, I’m afraid no one would believe it."

Indeed, that is the case now.

Since Mu Qingge was the one who killed the person, regardless of whether she took the Qiankun Device, people are convinced that the object coveted by the God Emperor is in her possession.

"Have you checked the contents inside?" Li Chao asked again.

This time, Mu Qingge shook her head.

She had long known that the Fragmented Scripture of the Lower Volume of Divine Strategy belonging to the Wuhua God Emperor was not in Mu Tianyin’s possession. She also knew the two Fragmented Scriptures retrieved by the Mu Clan were in the hands of the Tianluozhe, so she naturally would not check Mu Tianyin’s Qiankun Device.

At that time, after beheading Mu Tianyin, she effortlessly took the Qiankun Device just to avoid suspicion.

If someone found out she killed the person without taking the Qiankun Device, that would be what truly arouses suspicion.

"In that case, why don’t we hand over the Qiankun Device so that it can be detached, sparing the third brother from potential trouble?" Xuan Qiang suggested.

Yet all four shook their heads simultaneously, causing her to frown.

In her mind, less trouble is better than more. Mu Qingge killing the Mu Clan’s Young Master is a great achievement for the Divine Clan, and there’s no reason for her not to claim the credit and instead get entangled in trouble.

"Why?" Xuan Qiang asked, bewildered.

"Because the Purple Light God Emperor will not believe it," Qian Shui said.

Zhuang Shan also spoke, "What the Purple Light God Emperor wants is something from the Mu Clan. What that is, we do not know. Millennia ago, we all knew the status of the Mu Clan. As for the allegations, we won’t comment. But through the attitude of the Purple Light God Emperor, we can speculate that the other three God Emperors of the West Divine Land are likely also eyeing Qingge covetously. As soon as she leaves the Purple Light Domain and it’s proven that the Purple Light God Emperor doesn’t have the item, Qingge’s troubles will come one after another."

His words reflected the concerns of everyone.

Mu Qingge pressed her lips into silence.

The follow-up to this matter somewhat exceeded her expectations. She underestimated the West Divine Land’s God Emperors’ desire for the Divine Strategy. Initially, she planned to quickly return to the Huan Yue Domain after escaping. By that time, no one would know whether the item she obtained was given to the Huan Yue God Emperor, intending to use the Huan Yue God Emperor’s name to intimidate those with ulterior motives.

Yet she did not expect the Purple Light God Emperor to be so eager, immediately demanding the item. Regardless of whether she admitted it, he was convinced the item was on her.

The longer the delay, the higher the likelihood she’d be targeted!

Because everyone knows that before she returns to the Huan Yue Domain is the best time to make a move. If missed, it will be difficult to act later.

"Third brother, don’t worry. The God Emperor sent us over to ensure your safety. After the Purple Light God Emperor’s wedding feast, we will leave immediately, returning to the Huan Yue Domain. No matter what happens on this journey, we will be there," Li Chao assured Mu Qingge.

Qian Shui looked at Mu Qingge and said, "This morning, I inquired with the disciples of the Purple Light Domain outside the gate. They said they are stationed here to prevent the Mu Clan’s people from assassinating you again."

"You were assassinated by the Mu Clan?" Zhuang Shan asked in surprise.

Mu Qingge nodded, "There was one time, but that was on the outskirts of the Nine Heavens. Now that I’m in the Purple Light Domain, how could the Mu Clan’s people attempt an assassination just like that? Clearly, it’s an excuse to monitor us closely. I fear our every move is being reported to the Purple Light God Emperor."

"It seems that after leaving the Purple Light Domain, we need to secretly guard against the Mu Clan’s people too," Qian Shui thought of something else.

This, however, reminded Mu Qingge.

She subtly arched an eyebrow. On the outskirts of the Nine Heavens, the Tianluozhe staged an assassination to clear her of suspicion.

Now, no one suspects her connection to the Mu Clan. All they want is the item she ’obtained’ from Mu Tianyin.

Moreover, this will create the false impression in the eyes of the All Divine Domains that the deeply hidden Mu Clan is on the brink of disaster.

After all, what else can a Mu Clan with its Young Master dead do?

This is the gain that this matter brought to Mu Qingge. However, it also left behind trouble.

Mu Qingge thought that if the Mu Clan people stopped pursuing her after she left, it might instead arouse suspicion. But now, overthinking is useless; she can only take it one step at a time.

"In any case, within the Purple Light Domain, we cannot let our guard down. When we leave, we must be even more vigilant," Li Chao concluded.

In the next four to five days, they lived very quietly.

Initially, they thought the Purple Light God Emperor would still come to use soft and hard tactics on Mu Qingge, keeping them on alert for a few days, but there was no movement. It was as if the Purple Light God Emperor had completely forgotten about them and never summoned Mu Qingge again.

The entire Purple Light Domain began preparing for the wedding ceremony, adorned with red and decorated in great celebration.

The four were puzzled, but Mu Qingge remained calm.

She even gathered them and asked if they needed to prepare a gift for the Purple Light God Emperor. Representing the Huan Yue Domain, attending the wedding empty-handed would be embarrassing.

Seeing her indifferent attitude, the four could only feel helpless.

Sometimes, it seemed they worried and were more anxious than Mu Qingge.

That day, a person wearing the clothing of a Purple Light Domain disciple came to the entrance of where Mu Qingge and her companions were staying.

"Stop!" The Purple Light Domain disciples guarding the entrance blocked him, sternly preventing him from approaching. "You cannot trespass here, leave immediately."

But that person did not leave and instead stood outside, saying to the two guarding the gate, "Brothers, I would like to request an audience with the Young God Emperor Mu; please make an exception."

Seeing the two unmoved, he reached into his sleeve, took out two beautiful exquisite porcelain bottles, and handed them to them. "A small token, I implore you."
