"Heh heh, Shao Mingyu, don't think I don't know what you're up to. That Mu Yun is the illegitimate son of the head of the Mu family in the Southern Cloud Empire. Half a year ago, he was a good-for-nothing, but in just six months, he's risen to power. You and I know what that means, right?"
"If you said he didn't have any treasures, everyone in the world would believe it, but you wouldn't. Destroying the Mu family, ostensibly to avenge your grandson, is actually for Mu Yun's sake. Do you think I don't know?"
"Phew..."
Hearing Geng Yu's words, Shao Mingyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He had thought Geng Yu knew about Qin Mengyao, but it turned out Geng Yu was referring to Mu Yun.
Shao Mingyu slowly let out a sigh of relief.
"Heh heh... Elder Geng, rest assured, I only want Mu Yun dead. As for what you can get from him, that's entirely up to your own abilities. I, Shao Mingyu, will not interfere."
"I hope so!"
Seeing Shao Mingyu's somewhat excited expression, Geng Yu, though puzzled, nodded.
In Northern Cloud City now, besides Mu Yun, who else could make Shao Mingyu go to such lengths?
To avenge his grandson?
Others might believe it, but Geng Yu absolutely refused to.
He knew Shao Mingyu too well; Shao Mingyu would never have invited so many alchemists from the Holy Pill Sect to help with his grandson's murder.
What could be the reason?
The news that Mu Yun, the young patriarch of the Mu family, and Qin Mengyao, the eldest daughter of the Qin family, were about to hold their wedding spread wider and wider.
In the end, the Mu and Qin families showed the entire city of Beiyun that the news was true!
The Qin family had already begun to decorate and prepare for the wedding.
On the other hand, the Mu family was decorating their Mu mansion in a high-profile manner.
On this day, a figure passed by the Mu mansion and couldn't help but look up at the festive and grand appearance of the Mu mansion.
"Mu Yun, why, why can you marry Mengyao? I, Wang Qingfeng, am the number one genius in Beiyun City. You defeated Diao Yadong before and rose to fame, but you didn't challenge me. But this time, I will make everyone in Beiyun City understand who is truly worthy of Mengyao."
Looking at the Mu mansion, Wang Qingfeng murmured softly, then turned and left.
The Mu family's wedding was about to turn into a funeral.
The wedding day drew ever closer, but contrary to expectations, the entire city of Beiyun seemed devoid of joy; instead, a somber atmosphere prevailed.
Even the weather turned gloomy; the day was supposed to be Mu Yun and Qin Mengyao's wedding, but the sky was unusually dark.
However, the Mu and Qin families seemed unconcerned, continuing their preparations with great fanfare. The wedding procession departed from the Mu family and arrived at
the Qin family, with every prominent family in Beiyun City making a gesture of respect. The Diao and Wang families, however, remained completely secluded at their residences, the gates deserted. This attitude was expected, as the Diao and Wang families had a long-standing feud with the Qin and Mu families, their rivalry in Beiyun City spanning decades. It could be said that the Qin and Mu families' alliance this time was largely driven by a desire to unite against the Wang and Diao families. The wedding ceremony began. After the vows of gratitude, the direct descendants of the Mu and Qin families drank heartily within the Mu family compound until the moon was high in the sky, at which point they gradually stopped. The sky grew increasingly dark, and a light drizzle even began to fall. A figure darted through the darkness, leaving the Mu family compound, traversing the streets and alleys, and finally landing inside the Wang family mansion. "How is it?" "Most of the Mu and Qin family members are completely drunk. Only a dozen or so guards are scattered throughout the various courtyards, responsible for keeping watch tonight!" "Very good. Keep a close watch, we'll make our move immediately." Hearing this news, Wang Qingfeng couldn't contain his excitement and walked towards the mansion. He went to his father's side and whispered a few words. Wang Dongyu's face was filled with ecstasy as he looked at the hundreds of Wang family warriors before him, his eyes shining. "Gentlemen, today is the day our Wang family will completely dominate Beiyun City. What you must do is kill—kill all the members of the Mu family, and seize—seize all the treasures you can find from the Mu family." "Remember, you must act quickly. Collect all the Mu family's treasures before the Diao family does." "Yes!" The deep voice echoed, and a torrential downpour began. Meanwhile, within the Diao family compound, figures walked through the night rain. Their destination was the same as the Wang family's: the Mu family. At this moment, outside the Mu family's gate, lanterns and decorations were everywhere. Four guards stood at the gate, their faces flushed, laughing and chatting. They were completely unaware of the dangers lurking in the rain. *Whoosh whoosh whoosh…* A series of whooshing sounds rang out as long arrows pierced the night sky, piercing the throats of the four men. *Thump thump*, the four men died instantly. Immediately afterward, a thousand figures rushed out from the rainy night, their footsteps completely muffled by the rain, leaving no sound. "Kill!" The moment they rushed into the Mu family compound, everyone froze. The entire Mu family martial arts arena was empty, save for a few dozen tables of food and drink. Whoosh... At that moment, the sound of arrows piercing the air filled the air as they shot out, heading straight for the thousands of figures in the arena. Screams rang out continuously. The martial artists from the Wang and Diao families were shocked by the sudden attack, and the scene instantly descended into chaos. "Don't panic, kill!" This time, Diao Zhenyun and Wang Dongyu had brought the elites and strongest members of the Diao and Wang families. After nearly a hundred people were killed or wounded in the arrow rain, the two gave orders to establish an effective defense and gradually begin a counterattack. "Clap clap clap..." A clap of applause rang out, and figures filed out from a corner of the martial arts arena. Leading the group were Qin Shiyu and Mu Linchen, among others. Mu Yun walked at the front, clapping his hands and smiling as he looked at the group. "It's a great honor to have Chief Diao and Chief Wang grace us with their presence!" Mu Yun smiled slightly as he looked at Diao Zhenyun and Wang Dongyu. "Mu Yun, you are indeed cunning, you actually plotted to ambush us!" "You cunning brat, daring to use tricks!" Wang Dongyu and Diao Zhenyun were furious. "Cunning?" Mu Yun smiled coldly. "It's you who are cunning! Kill!"
At a command, warriors from the Qin and Mu families, wielding divine weapons, charged forward instantly. The Mu family gates were already tightly shut.
"You brat, you're courting death!"
Diao Zhenyun and Wang Dongyu, unable to contain themselves any longer, erupted and rushed out.
"I'll handle this!"
However, before the two could even touch Mu Yun, Old Master Qin, his usual listless demeanor replaced by an air of arrogance.
Seventh level of the Spirit Acupoint Realm!
How could this be?
Previously, Old Master Qin was only at the sixth level of the Spirit Acupoint Realm, but now he had opened his Divine Acupoint and entered the seventh level.
How could this be?
Originally, Qin Shiyu should have aged and died as his lifespan shortened with age.
But now, having entered the seventh level of the Spirit Acupoint Realm and opened his Divine Acupoint, it was as if he had gained lifespan again. The
seventh level of the Divine Acupoint connects to the dantian, gathering true essence to nourish the dantian, and thus nourishing the life of a martial artist.
"Damn it!"
Seeing Qin Shiyu make his move, Diao Zhenyun and Wang Dongyu instantly retreated. They were no match for Qin Shiyu.
"Old man, there's no stage for you here anymore!"
However, at this moment, a shout suddenly rang out, and a ray of dark light descended from the sky.
"Shao Mingyu!"
Seeing the newcomer, Mu Linchen's eyes flashed with fighting spirit.
Although Shao Mingyu was a top-grade Xuanqi Master, he was only at the sixth level of the Spirit Aperture Realm. He had improved with Mu Yun's help and was now only one step away from the sixth level.
Facing Shao Mingyu, he truly wanted to fight to improve his strength.
The scene instantly became bloody.
This battle was a matter of life and death for the Qin and Mu families, as well as the Diao and Wang families.
Once the two sides made the battle public, it would be a fight to the death.
However, as the battle progressed, the warriors of the Diao and Wang families became increasingly shocked.
They were wearing some mid-grade, high-grade, and even top-grade mortal weapons that Shao Mingyu had given them.
Originally, they thought they would have a huge advantage against the Mu and Qin family warriors at the same cultivation level, but unexpectedly, the fight was evenly matched.
Before they knew it, the Mu and Qin family warriors each possessed a mortal weapon, and even the Spirit Aperture Realm warriors were equipped with profound weapons.
"Hehe, dumbfounded, aren't you? You bastards from the Wang and Diao families, our young patriarch asked Master Qi to equip us with even better mortal and profound weapons. You'll be slaughtered!"
"You grandsons, you dare to attack your grandfathers? We'll show you the power of the Mu family!"
The Mu family warriors, as if injected with adrenaline, charged forward recklessly.
Faced with this situation, even with the help of Shao Mingyu's men, they were finding it difficult to resist.
Under the nurturing of the spiritual liquid, their talents had greatly improved in the past month.
While a warrior's talent is predetermined, divine power can alter it.
"Mu Yun, come and die!"
At the same time, from the crowd, Wang Qingfeng spotted Mu Yun and charged forward, sword in hand.
"Wang Qingfeng, you are a senior instructor of the academy, and Mu Yun is also a senior instructor. How dare you attack?"
"Today, there is only the family, not the academy. Mu Yun must die. Only then will today's wedding be truly ours."
Wang Qingfeng stared at Qin Mengyao, his anger burning.
Suddenly, an arm appeared around Qin Mengyao's slender waist, pulling her into an embrace.
"Instructor Wang, coveting another man's wife, your character isn't very good!"
"You're courting death!"
Seeing his goddess in another's hands, Wang Qingfeng couldn't tolerate it.
He drew his sword, moved forward, and thrust at Mu Yun. Every move, every stance, was incredibly skillful.
"No wonder you were so confident. You broke through to the Spirit Acupoint Realm, almost able to fill your inner acupoint with true essence and reach the second level of the Spirit Acupoint Realm. It's just a pity... you are still no match for me!"
