Chapter 964: Chapter 49: Snow City Forum

"What did you say!" The disciple from the Zhuoyu Domain, upon being addressed by Mu Qingge in such a manner, had his eyes immediately turn sharp, and fury blazed in his eyes.

Mu Qingge raised her eyebrows even higher, "Didn’t hear clearly? I said..." Her lips curled into a cold and mocking smile as she enunciated each word, "What kind of thing are you?"

Damn!

The onlookers, in their hearts, gave Mu Qingge a big thumbs up.

Disciples from the Zhuoyu Domain had always been arrogant and domineering on the East Divine Land. Usually, when encountering them, people would avoid if possible, unwilling to provoke. Yet, Mu Qingge, right from the start, rendered the other party speechless - such boldness, impressive!

Indeed, people from the Huan Yue Domain, though low-key, should not be bullied!

The disciple from the Zhuoyu Domain had his eyes darken, his entire face shrouded in gloom. He looked at Mu Qingge, but now, the beauty was no longer in his eyes. He wanted to kill Mu Qingge, kill this fellow who dared to challenge him.

"Pretty boy, state your name, I never kill nameless nobodies," the Zhuoyu Domain guy said directly.

The Divine Power on him was already beginning to stir.

Such blatant arrogance made Xuan Qiang frown, and she spoke coldly, "This is the Zhong Shan Domain, not your Zhuoyu Domain. You’d better restrain yourself."

"Hmph! So what about the Zhong Shan Domain? Our Zhuoyu Domain has always acted this way, never afraid wherever we go on the East Divine Land," said the Zhuoyu Domain people.

Mu Qingge swept her Divine Sense and detected his cultivation level.

’Spirit Cave Realm Fourth Layer. No wonder, having the capital of arrogance gives one the guts to be arrogant,’ Mu Qingge thought to herself.

Knowing the other’s cultivation level, she did not feel any fear. Still looking relaxed, she said, "Hmm, I also never kill nameless nobodies. You from the Zhuoyu Domain, state your name."

Haha!

The onlookers were amused by the mockery in her words.

Thing from the Zhuoyu Domain?

It’s likely that after walking the world for so many years, no disciple from the Zhuoyu Domain has ever been addressed this way.

"You’re courting death!" The Zhuoyu Domain disciple’s gloomy features gradually twisted, the Divine Power in his hand ready to unleash.

As his right hand slowly lifted, Mu Qingge narrowed her eyes.

"Ji Lun, what are you doing?" Suddenly, a voice interjected, breaking the congealed killing intent.

The Zhuoyu Domain disciple was startled, the Divine Power in his hand quickly dissipating, that arrogant aura immediately restrained a lot. He donned a respectful expression, looking towards the person walking over.

Mu Qingge and Xuan Qiang raised their eyes too, and upon seeing the person coming over clearly, Mu Qingge raised her eyebrows.

Li Chao was actually among those walking over.

"Eldest Young Master!" Ji Lun called out to the person walking alongside Li Chao.

That attitude was a complete 180-degree change from before. The person he addressed as Eldest Young Master seemed to also be from the Zhuoyu Domain. His identity was, in fact, the top disciple before the palace of the Zhuoyu Domain.

"Old Third, Old Seventh, what happened?" Li Chao looked at Mu Qingge and Xuan Qiang, also somewhat surprised, but he immediately walked over to them, standing with them.

Xuan Qiang’s delicate features were cold as ice, and she did not answer Li Chao’s question.

Mu Qingge, however, playfully watched the person over there who now wore a fawning face, pleasing that Zhuoyu Domain Eldest Young Master, and then slowly said, "I happened to pass by here and saw this fellow from the Zhuoyu Domain harassing the Seventh Young Master of my Huan Yue Domain on the street."

Her unreserved explanation made Li Chao’s face change, looking unsightly as he glared at the opposite side.

Even the previously arrogant Ji Lun felt a sudden tension on his scalp, seemingly feeling the two sword-like sharp gazes land on him.

Li Chao looked at Xuan Qiang and asked in a deep voice, "Is this true?"

Xuan Qiang had a cold face and nodded imperceptibly.

Having obtained Xuan Qiang’s confirmation, Li Chao then looked at the two across from him, ignoring Ji Lun, and directly said to the person who came with him, "Brother Yan Quan, it seems your Zhuoyu Domain needs to give my Huan Yue Domain an explanation for this matter."

Yan Quan’s eyelid twitched, his gaze cold, "Brother Li Chao, it’s merely a misunderstanding among disciples, no need to escalate it to a matter between domains, right?"

Li Chao’s lips slightly curled, his smile turning cold, "Whether it’s a misunderstanding among disciples, or a friction between divine domains, it depends on how Brother Yan Quan decides to handle it."

Mu Qingge stood beside Li Chao, watching him handle the situation, inwardly thinking: ’Indeed, on this land, different status means different weight to one’s words.’ She could bet that if it were her saying the same thing, it certainly wouldn’t have any effect.

Yan Quan’s gaze was chilling. Normally, with his character, he naturally wouldn’t yield so easily. However, now was the Debate Period of the Four Divine Domains, and if this matter escalated, it would only become more troublesome.

After a quick contemplation, he waved his hand, releasing a strong Divine Power that directly struck Ji Lun’s leg, causing him to kneel abruptly.

"Hurry and apologize to the Seventh Young Master!" Yan Quan ordered sharply.

When Ji Lun kneeled, a sense of humiliation surged within him. However, he dared not defy Yan Quan’s words, and could only grit his teeth and bow his head, apologizing amidst the watching crowd.

"Seventh Young Master, it was Ji Lun who failed to recognize. Please do not take to heart the nonsense I uttered earlier."

His apology was utterly insincere.

Mu Qingge listened and slightly furrowed her brows.

However, Li Chao looked towards Xuan Qiang, signaling to her with his eyes. Even though Xuan Qiang was displeased, she did not refute him, but instead turned around and left.

As soon as she left, the matter was essentially brushed over.

Yan Quan looked at Li Chao, smiling with eyes that didn’t reach his eyes, and said, "Brother Li Chao, are you satisfied?"

Li Chao returned the same smile and said to him, "During the Debate Period, disciples from the Four Divine Domains gather. Please, Brother Yan Quan, watch over the disciples from your domain, as I will mine."

"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Li Chao." Yan Quan said, then coldly glanced at Ji Lun. The latter shivered, stood up, and followed him as he turned to leave.

Once they left, the show was over, and the spectators dispersed, returning to their previous activities.

Mu Qingge turned to Li Chao and smiled, "Earlier, I saw the Eldest Young Master and Yan Quan coming together, and thought you were friends."

Li Chao smiled and said, "Both being from the Divine Clan and domain disciples, we’ve met a few times and can exchange a few words. But if we talk about friendship, there is none."

After speaking, he lightly furrowed his brows and said to Mu Qingge, "This time you stood up for Seventh Brother, which may cause them to keep you in mind."

Mu Qingge narrowed her eyes but said nothing.

Li Chao said, "Yan Quan is extremely arrogant and always strives for perfection."

"A person too perfect seems fake." Mu Qingge smirked and said.

Li Chao neither agreed nor disagreed, just smiled and said, "This time, Yan Quan leads the Zhuoyu Domain. Today, for the sake of face and because it’s the Debate Period, he doesn’t want to make a big fuss or have the Zhuoyu Domain be talked about. That’s why he’s so agreeable. However, the face lost today, he will surely regain it. We just don’t know how he’ll do it. You and Seventh Brother must be careful. Also, Ji Lun, who troubled you before, is a palace disciple of the Zhuoyu Domain, ranked sixth."

Mu Qingge listened, nodded at Li Chao’s reminder.

"Let’s go back together. I’ll inform the others about this matter, so everyone can be on guard against the Zhuoyu Domain’s hidden moves." Li Chao said, walking with Mu Qingge towards where the Huan Yue Domain was residing.

Meanwhile, Yan Quan and Ji Lun had already walked far.

Ji Lun couldn’t help but say, "Eldest Young Master, today’s humiliation, are we just letting it go like this? When have our Zhuoyu Domain disciples ever suffered such grievances?"

"You still have the nerve to speak!" Yan Quan coldly swept his eyes towards Ji Lun.

Ji Lun shivered, not daring to say more.

Yan Quan said coldly, "If you’re going to flirt with women, at least see who you’re flirting with. That Seventh Brother from the Huan Yue, cultivates the Supreme Forget Love Path. Why provoke such an icy figure? You stirred up trouble but couldn’t resolve it, ultimately losing my face and forcing me to clean up after you."

Ji Lun was scolded to silence, only able to endure silently.

After Yan Quan finished venting, Ji Lun cautiously said, "Eldest Young Master’s words are all correct. But our Zhuoyu Domain disciples can’t just lose face like this. That business with Xuan Qiang was my fault. But what’s that pretty boy? How dare he challenge our Zhuoyu Domain?"

"Enough." Yan Quan interrupted him.

His gaze was icy, with the cold gleam in his eyes. "Li Chao calls him Third Brother, looks like he’s the Huan Yue Third Young Master who recently defeated Qian Shui to rise up. I heard he even did a great service for the Huan Yue Domain. This time coming to the Zhong Shan Domain, he must be here to participate in the Four Divine Domains Debate."

Yan Quan’s eyes narrowed, his lips curling into a cold smile. He said to Ji Lun, "Since he’s here for the Debate, that’s simple. However you suffered at his hand today, you should find a way to repay him during the Debate. Also, let the Huan Yue Domain see that besides their Divine Emperor, their disciples simply can’t compare to ours in the Zhuoyu Domain!"

"Yes! Eldest Young Master." Ji Lun’s eyes lit up, suddenly bursting with excitement.

He fully grasped Yan Quan’s meaning.

...

Dong—!

A bell sounded from Snow City in the Zhong Shan Domain, enveloping the entire Zhong Shan Domain.

In Spring City, everyone who heard the bell couldn’t help but stop and look upwards towards the tilted giant wheel suspended between heaven and earth. That vast, snowy sacred land was filled with a yearning atmosphere.

Li Chao led nine people, standing at the door, also looking towards the ethereal Snow City as the bell tolled. "The Debate is about to begin."

Is it about to begin?

Mu Qingge looked towards Snow City, speaking to herself in her heart.

Disciples from the Four Divine Domains have all arrived, the Debate is immediately beginning.

Cultivators don’t follow many formalities. Hearing the bell, disciples from the other three domains temporarily residing in Spring City followed the Zhong Shan Domain disciples leading the way, riding the clouds and mist, entering Snow City.

Upon entering Snow City, Mu Qingge’s eyes were immediately met by a world of white snow and dazzling ice sculptures.

Around her were disciples from Wei Yi Domain and Zhuoyu Domain. Mu Qingge easily spotted Si Mo’s disguised face among the Wei Yi Domain people.

At this moment, that face was also looking towards her without a trace.

Their gazes crossed in mid-air, touched and parted, without attracting anyone’s attention.

"Four Divine Domains Debate begins, disciples from each domain proceed to the Dao Platform." A powerful voice echoed from above Snow City.
