Chapter 1062: Chapter 147: This Is Where You Will Meet Your End

Mu Qingge raised her eyes and looked at Yin Chen.

Yin Chen said, "I asked the people living nearby, but they all said that Heavenly Immortal Tower became deserted suddenly overnight half a year ago, and no one knows what happened."

Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow, her gaze turning playful.

She squinted her eyes slightly and asked, "Did anything unusual happen before it disappeared?"

Yin Chen furrowed his brow, thought for a moment, then a light flashed through his blood-red eyes, and he said to Mu Qingge, "No other anomalies were found, but one person mentioned that a little girl appeared outside Heavenly Immortal Tower a month before they disappeared."

"A little girl?" Mu Qingge’s eyes showed a trace of surprise.

No matter how clever she was, she couldn’t connect the current state of Heavenly Immortal Tower with a little girl.

"Isn’t there anyone who knows where they went?" Mu Qingge asked in surprise.

With so many people in Heavenly Immortal Tower, there should be at least a hundred altogether. It seems impossible for everyone to disappear overnight without anyone knowing the reason or where they went.

Unfortunately, Yin Chen still shook his head. "I’ll go ask elsewhere."

"No need," Mu Qingge stopped him, saying, "The people living near Heavenly Immortal Tower don’t know what happened, and those further away would know even less."

Mu Qingge frowned slightly, pondering what had happened to Su Ming.

She wasn’t particularly close to Su Ming, but she was the first person to acknowledge her after entering the Divine Land. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have thought to visit after returning to Tianya Residence.

She just hadn’t expected it to be like this.

"Qingge."

Soon, Yao Xinghai and Zhuang Shan returned as well.

Mu Qingge raised her eyes to look at them, hoping they had gained some insights.

Yao Xinghai said, "It seems that when they left, they were very composed, not in a hurry and left nothing behind. They must have taken everything with them when they left."

Leaving in a composed manner?

Mu Qingge felt slightly relieved. Leaving calmly indicated they hadn’t encountered anything urgent or life-threatening. It seemed something had happened that made Su Ming give up here and step out of Tianya Residence.

Suddenly, she thought of a question, stood up from her chair, and quickly walked toward the interior of Heavenly Immortal Tower.

The other three, puzzled, followed her inside.

Upon catching up to her, they realized she was heading to a wine cellar. However, the location of this wine cellar was very concealed, and not easily discovered unless one had been there before.

Even though it was a wine cellar with a residual fragrance of wine, it was actually empty inside.

Seeing this scene, Mu Qingge felt completely at ease.

She smiled faintly, her hands folded behind her back, and turned to walk out. The fact that Su Ming took the wine when she left indicated she left decisively and calmly.

However, this left the other three puzzled.

Upon leaving Tianya Residence, the four returned to join the others. Their quick return surprised people, but no one asked further.

That night, Mu Qingge continued to meditate on One Thought Finger, not only because she wanted to master this magic but also to gain insight into the understanding of Dao held by the Mu Clan’s ancestor who created the Divine Strategy.

What she needed was not just mastery, but understanding.

The next morning, the group left Tianya Residence, heading towards Huan Yue Domain.

For convenience, Li Chao rented flying rides. Seeing him well-prepared, Mu Qingge naturally wouldn’t release Little Cai.

Among the divine in Four Seas Divine Land, very few have their own Contracted Beasts.

This is because of the presence of Demon Forest. The Beast Clan holds its own status in this realm.

Thus, those with Contracted Beasts are rare and hold prestigious identities.

Most riding mounts are low-level beasts whose intelligence hasn’t awakened and aren’t acknowledged by the Beast Clan. These beasts are rented and sold in cities both of divine and of mortals.

Li Chao rented a Long-bearded Beast, with strong limbs and high speed, relying on its two long whiskers to harness wind power.

On the back of the Long-bearded Beast, a carriage is tied where Mu Qingge and her companions were seated.

The journey was fairly peaceful.

Last time from Tianya Residence to Huan Yue Domain, Mu Qingge and Tong Teng, novices, traveled on foot. Now, seated on the Long-bearded Beast, overlooking the mountain scenery below provided a different kind of enjoyment.

Though the Long-bearded Beast flew fast, it also consumed much. Every hour, Li Chao needed to toss some food into its mouth.

After flying for most of the day, the Long-bearded Beast let out a beastly cry indicating fatigue, prompting Li Chao to command it to descend in search of a resting place for the day.

The Long-bearded Beast, used to carrying riders, knows well where to rest.

Initially, it headed toward a mortal city, but just as it was about to land, its expression changed suddenly, letting out a terrified cry, and it quickly turned its head, racing back into the sky.

The sudden turn caused chaos in the carriage, with people tumbling over each other. Originally seated next to Mu Qingge was Xi Qianxue, and beside Xi Qianxue was Xuan Qiang. Caught off guard by the Long-bearded Beast’s maneuver, Xi Qianxue fell into Mu Qingge’s arms. Meanwhile, Xuan Qiang, despite trying to control her body, was thrown toward Mu Qingge’s direction by the sharp angle of the turn.

In front of Mu Qingge was the carriage door, only covered by a curtain, insufficient to stop anyone.

If Xuan Qiang wasn’t pulled back, she might be thrown directly out of the carriage.

In the urgency, Mu Qingge didn’t have time to think. She wrapped one arm around Xi Qianxue’s waist to prevent her from being thrown again, while her other hand reached out to grab Xuan Qiang’s belt and pulled her forcefully back, crashing into her other side.

Instantly, Mu Qingge was embracing both, becoming a strikingly beautiful sight as the carriage steadied.

In the center was the captivating and charming ’gentleman’ with arms around two stunning beauties. Such fortune was envied by all.

Momentarily, they forgot to question the Long-bearded Beast’s sudden loss of control.

However, while they forgot, Mu Qingge did not.

With the girls stabilized, having no time to savor the alluring moment, she released them, her gaze becoming serious. "Something’s wrong."

Indeed, as her words fell, from the small city where the Long-bearded Beast initially planned to land but suddenly retreated from, a fierce group rushed out, pursuing them menacingly.

"Where do you think you’re running! This will be your burial ground!" a thunderous voice descended abruptly.

The voice carried violent killer intent, startling the Long-bearded Beast into running more frantically, desperately...
