Chapter 1057: Chapter 142: The Full Act

The sudden killing intent interrupted Mu Qingge’s words.

Her eyes narrowed, and she quickly pushed Yao Xinghai and Xi Qianxue backward.

She also sidestepped to avoid the Sword Qi aimed at her.

At this moment, a silver light flashed past her and engaged the shadow that attacked her. That silver light was Yin Chen.

The person fighting Yin Chen moved extremely quickly; aside from Mu Qingge, only Yin Chen and Qian Shui present could match his speed.

With the sound of fighting, Li Chao and the other three were instantly alarmed, and when they arrived, quite a number of people emerged from the assassin’s side.

"Who are these people?" Zhuang Shan rushed to Mu Qingge’s side, asking anxiously.

Mu Qingge shook her head.

At this time, Yao Xinghai said, "They didn’t say a word and suddenly attacked. Moreover, their target is clear—it’s Qingge. This shows they didn’t come for that thing, but for Qingge’s life."

After speaking, he immediately turned to Mu Qingge and asked, "What enemies have you made? Could they be from the Purple Light Domain?"

Mu Qingge shook her head and laughed coldly, "The Purple Light God Emperor can’t even handle his own troubles now, how would he have the leisure to deal with me? Moreover, he has no reason to want me dead." After all, she didn’t deceive him at all.

"If they aren’t from the Purple Light Domain, then the only force in the West Divine Land that would want to kill you like this is..." Zhuang Shan said, his eyes suddenly narrowing, and he loudly declared, "You are Mu Clan remnants!"

The assassins, seeing several people had gathered around Mu Qingge and their identities had been uncovered, immediately made a decisive decision and said, "Let’s go."

Then, they disappeared into the night.

"There’s no need to pursue them. Mu Clan people are best at concealing themselves. If they want to escape, we can’t catch up." Li Chao stopped Zhuang Shan, who tried to chase after them.

Yin Chen turned his gaze to Mu Qingge, and the two exchanged a secret glance.

Qian Shui suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth, replaced it with a serious expression, and said calmly, "Unexpectedly, after avoiding the coveting of other Divine Domains over Young Master San, we couldn’t escape the pursuit of the Mu Clan. It seems they have followed us all the way, without being detected. Now that they see we are about to leave West Divine Land, which is the time when guards are most likely to be lowered, they made their move."

"Indeed, it seems the Mu Clan people are truly capable of endurance. Such repeated assassination attempts also confirm that the person killed by Young Master San was indeed their Young Master." Li Chao nodded and said.

Zhuang Shan also said, "With the Mu Clan Young Master dead, losing their backbone, the Mu Clan people will be like scattered sand. It’s no wonder they would hate Qingge and want to kill her quickly. However, now they’ve lost their leader, they will probably go dormant for a while; who knows when they will come back in force."

"The glory of the Mu Clan has become a thing of the past, regardless of whether those charges are true or false. It’s been ten thousand years. After all this time, the Mu Clan people still don’t give up, wanting to restore the Mu Clan, it’s nothing but a dream." Xuan Qiang also shook her head and said.

"Alright." Mu Qingge spoke, interrupting their discussion.

She said calmly, "Tonight, since their assassination attempt failed, they won’t come again. Let’s take the time to rest; once dawn breaks, we’ll set off. After entering Xinghai, no matter who wants to kill me, it won’t be easy."

Everyone nodded.

Xinghai is vast and boundless, with no cover. At least, setting an ambush there is impossible in Xinghai.

Mu Qingge’s words made the crowd nod.

However, being disrupted by the assassins, they were not in the mood to sleep, so they sat and meditated to maintain their spirits. Although Mu Qingge had said the assassins wouldn’t come again after their failed attempt, they still didn’t dare to be careless.

Afraid they might let their guard down and fall into a trap again.

After this incident passed, the issues Yi Xinghai and Xi Qianxue raised earlier, Mu Qingge still hadn’t had the chance to respond. But indeed, it wasn’t the right time for detailed discussion now, so she could only transmit to the two via sound, ’Any relation with the Mu Clan should not be disclosed to anyone.’ By this Mu Clan, she meant the remnants of the Mu Clan from the Middle Ancient Realm.

Regarding the Mu Clan on the Divine Demon Continent, even the two of them had no knowledge.

With Mu Qingge’s reminder, the two were in the loop and naturally wouldn’t think or say anything further.

Having settled this, Mu Qingge and Yin Chen sat side by side, communicating through their contract bond.

’Qingge, just now, the person who fought with me asked me to pass you a message.’ Yin Chen said.

Mu Qingge responded, ’Hm. Go ahead.’

Since he was a member of the Mu Clan, he naturally didn’t sincerely want to kill her. Appearing here, aside from putting on a complete show, was to meet her as she was leaving the West Divine Land.

She was certain that the words relayed by Yin Chen were about the meeting time and place.

’He said, when we arrive at Youkou tomorrow, he hopes you can take some time to go to Zui Fu Ju; someone is waiting for you.’ Yin Chen relayed the other’s words.

Mu Qingge barely perceptibly nodded.

Having understood this, she didn’t ask more, and Yin Chen wouldn’t say more.

Mu Qingge didn’t have any good impressions of the Mu Clan from the Divine Demon Continent. However, since two Fragmented Scripture pieces from the Divine Strategy Lower Volume were still in the hands of Tian Lu Zhe, and perhaps remaining two clues were also with him, she had to go and meet.

...

A silent night passed, and as Mu Qingge expected, the assassins didn’t come again.

However, Li Chao and the others still didn’t dare to be careless, remaining vigilant and cautious on the journey, constantly aware of surroundings.

By the time they arrived at Youkou, it was already afternoon.

Youkou is the harbor in the West Divine Land, from here one can enter Xinghai and travel to various Divine Land. Therefore, there are a large number of people here daily, riding sky boats, traveling back and forth between different Divine Lands.

Boarding these public sky boats is quite simple. As long as you have authentic identification proof and can afford enough Divine Jade, you can get a ticket.

In addition, there are private ones. Like someone like Li Chao as a Palace Disciple, each has their own sky boat, unrestricted in travel.

"Since it’s already late, it’s not suitable to set out to sea; let’s stay overnight at Youkou." Li Chao said to everyone.

Not leaving immediately was exactly what Mu Qingge hoped for, so naturally, she wouldn’t oppose.

The group checked in at Youkou, and to prevent further assassin attacks by the Mu Clan, Li Chao insisted on having Mu Qingge stay in the center of them, so if anything happened, they could promptly help.

At night, after instructing Yin Chen, Mu Qingge quietly left. With Yin Chen’s Illusion Realm to mislead, she wasn’t worried about others knowing she had left.

During the day, upon entering Youkou, she had secretly noted Zui Fu Ju’s location.

This Zui Fu Ju is very prominent in Youkou, easy to find. As she arrived outside, Mu Qingge was directly escorted in. Upon entering the room, Mu Qingge found that there was more than one person waiting to see her.

Besides Tian Lu Zhe, there was also the High Priest who had left earlier to find him.
