Chapter 1111: Chapter 1046: The Mu Family’s Worries

Meanwhile.

At the island’s shore, a young man wearing only big shorts sneaked onto the island.

It was none other than Wang Zicheng.

He stood on a small hill, gazing toward the center of the island.

"The vibrations have stopped, the battle surely has ended, though I don’t know who won."

"But no matter who won, I’d better be careful."

He muttered to himself, then stealthily moved towards the volcano.

Along the way, he was extremely cautious, afraid of making the slightest sound.

He believed no one knew of his infiltration onto the island.

However, he didn’t realize that not long after entering the island, someone was secretly observing him.

Before long.

Wang Zicheng arrived near the volcano, hiding behind a rock, peering ahead.

"Oh, it’s so brutal!"

Seeing the devastated ground near the volcano, he couldn’t help but constrict his pupils.

The ground was littered with scattered bones and flesh, the stench of blood was overwhelming, like an Asura’s hell.

"So many bones, it’s probably those ten people, but where is Brother Mu, the Ancestor Mu’s brother? Why can’t I see him?"

"Forget it, I’ll go check the Elixir Fire first."

Wang Zicheng stepped out from behind the rock, looked around for a while, then ran towards the volcano’s mouth.

The volcano had disappeared, but the lava was still erupting.

He stood at the edge of the volcano’s mouth, looking down, sensing carefully, then finally breathed a sigh of relief, muttering, "Thank goodness, the Elixir Fire is still there."

"What are you looking at?"

Suddenly.

A suspicious voice sounded behind him.

Wang Zicheng’s body stiffened, he slowly turned around and saw the Heart Demon Qin Feiyang standing right behind him.

"Brother Mu, um..."

"Where did you go just now, I couldn’t find you after looking for ages, you really worried me."

He asked with a concerned demeanor, yet his expression was unnatural.

"Is that so?"

"Then why are you sneaking around like a thief?"

The Heart Demon playfully remarked.

"Oh no, could he have already discovered me?"

Wang Zicheng’s heart and mind tightened, he laughed awkwardly, "I’m just worried about those ten people."

The Heart Demon teased, "They’ve already been killed by me, their bones are right here."

Wang Zicheng glanced at the bones on the ground, admiringly said, "Brother Mu is truly unparalleled, I am impressed."

The Heart Demon chuckled, "You’re flattering me. Actually, I’m quite impressed with you too; you’re the first to dare play tricks in front of me."

"Me?"

"Play tricks?"

Wang Zicheng panicked, waved his hand hurriedly, "No, no, Brother Mu, what are you saying, how could I dare to play tricks in front of you?"

"You know?"

"Often those who think they’re clever are actually fools beyond compare, and you’re one of them."

The Heart Demon’s gaze turned cold, he pressed Wang Zicheng to the ground, "Kid, you’re lucky. If I didn’t value your talent and potential, you would’ve already become a pile of White Bone."

After saying that.

He stepped on Wang Zicheng’s back, making him unable to move, then formed seals with both hands, an Enslavement Mark quickly appeared and entered Wang Zicheng’s top of the head.

"Ah..."

Wang Zicheng screamed miserably, angrily questioning, "Brother Mu, what did you do to me?"

"Have you heard of the Enslavement Mark?"

"Now, your life is in my hands. If you dare to be impudent, I can kill you."

"But don’t be discouraged, you’re not the first. Viper, Wealthy Elixir King, Black Monkey, they’ve all become my slaves."

The Heart Demon lifted his foot, freeing Wang Zicheng.

Wang Zicheng immediately got up, looked at the Heart Demon in shock and doubt.

"Don’t believe it?"

The Heart Demon asked.

"Believing you is a lie!"

Wang Zicheng cursed angrily and turned to run.

"Naive."

The Heart Demon shook his head with a cold smile, with a thought, Wang Zicheng immediately staggered, fell to the ground, clutching his head and crying out in pain.

"It hurts..."

"This is real..."

"I, Wang Zicheng, have actually become someone else’s slave..."

"I don’t want this..."

Wang Zicheng murmured to himself, his face full of disbelief. Finally, he roared, pulled out the Holy Artifact dagger, and charged at the Heart Demon.

"Quite spirited!"

"But you’re still far from it."

The Heart Demon smiled coldly and kicked Wang Zicheng’s abdomen. Accompanied by a howl, Wang Zicheng flew sideways, landing heavily and eating a mouthful of dirt.

"I will never be someone else’s slave, just kill me!"

He ignored the pain, raising his head to look fiercely at the Heart Demon.

"Not bad, much more spirited than the likes of Viper. But the more you resist, the more I like it."

"Don’t want to submit, huh? That’s okay, I won’t force you; you’ll stay by my side, and sooner or later you’ll submit voluntarily."

The Heart Demon said confidently.

"In your dreams."

Wang Zicheng shouted.

"Then let’s see."

"Now, I have a task for you: tell Wang Youer and Young Master Hao to return to the island where we met before. My brother, Ancestor Mu, will go to find them soon."

The Heart Demon said.

"Why should I go just because you tell me to?"

Wang Zicheng raised an eyebrow.

"Think carefully, if I kill you now, I lose nothing, but you will lose your life for nothing."

"On the contrary, if you listen and live well, you might find a chance to turn the tables in the future."

The Heart Demon said with a smile.

Wang Zicheng’s expression fluctuated between gloomy and uncertain.

A moment later.

He shot a vicious look at the Heart Demon, then got up and flew towards where Wang Youer and the others were.

The Heart Demon immediately took out an Image Crystal Stone.

Buzz!

Soon.

The Viper apparition manifested itself.

Looking at Qin Feiyang at that moment, the Viper’s pupils contracted in surprise and doubt: "You can’t be..."

The Heart Demon replied coldly: "Yes, I am the Heart Demon, and I am now in control of this physical body."

The Viper’s gaze trembled, hurriedly kneeling in the void, respectfully saying: "Greetings, Master. What orders does the Master have?"

The Heart Demon said: "I am now at the birthplace of pill fire. You immediately trick the Savage Bull and the others to come here for me."

"Alright."

"I will handle it right away."

The Viper nodded, and then the apparition dissipated.

At the same moment.

Within a certain vast mountain range, a colossal presence loomed.

This was the Mu Family!

Inside the discussion hall.

The Family Head of the Mu Family sat at the master seat, while the First and Second Ancestors of the Mu Family sat on opposite sides of the discussion table.

Behind the Family Head stood a young man in purple clothes, none other than Mu Qing.

Opposite them stood four young men and women with respectful expressions.

These were the four who, earlier on, had ambushed the Heart Demon, but ended up retreating without a fight.

At this moment.

The white-clad woman who had opened the door to time and space held an Image Crystal Stone in her hand, which emitted a hazy light. Above, in the void, a scene flickered.

The scene displayed the clash between the Heart Demon and Pei Qin’s group of ten.

The Family Head, First Ancestor, Second Ancestor, and Mu Qing of the Mu Family all watched the scene with extreme solemnity.

Before long.

The scene faded.

The white-clad woman put away the Image Crystal Stone and looked at the Mu Family’s leaders.

The major heads remained silent, their heads lowered, the atmosphere heavy.

The length of time unknown.

The Mu Family Head raised his head to look at the four, furrowing his brows: "What exactly happened? How did he suddenly become so strong?"

"We don’t know either."

"He was already like this when he arrived."

The white-clad woman shook her head.

The Mu Family Head raised his eyebrows, turning to the First Ancestor and Second Ancestor, saying: "Elders, do you think he’s truly Qin Feiyang?"

The First Ancestor of the Mu Family said: "From the words he spoke at the end, we can basically determine that he’s Qin Feiyang."

"Then what in the world is happening? Before heading to Qinghai, he was a War Saint, and now, so quickly, he’s become a Three Star War Emperor. It’s too far-fetched!"

The Mu Family Head’s brows knitted tightly.

Neither the First Ancestor nor the Second Ancestor could understand either.

The Second Ancestor suddenly turned to Mu Qing, asking: "Qing’er, you know Qin Feiyang better than any of us. Do you know what’s going on?"

"I know most of his methods, but this time I genuinely can’t comprehend what’s happening."

Mu Qing rubbed his head, looking somewhat irritated. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

The First Ancestor sighed: "It seems this young man still has many unknown methods hidden, and the threat to us grows ever larger."

The Mu Family Head nodded: "Indeed, he’s almost out of our control."

"Father, that statement isn’t accurate. When have we ever really controlled him?"

Mu Qing rolled his eyes.

"Uh!"

The Mu Family Head was taken aback, then couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Yes!

From beginning to end, they never truly controlled Qin Feiyang. It has always been a relationship of mutual collaboration and mutual exploitation.

"In any case, we cannot let him continue to grow unchecked, or our Mu Family will surely fall at his hands."

The First Ancestor of the Mu Family voiced his concern, a fierce light flashing in his old eyes.

Mu Qing asked in surprise: "Elder, are you suggesting taking action against him now?"

"Aren’t you asking what you already know? It’s clearly not feasible now."

"However, once we enter the Divine Sign and achieve our goal, we must eliminate him at the first opportunity."

"Simply put, we cannot allow him to return alive!"

The First Ancestor of the Mu Family declared.

The Family Head and Second Ancestor of the Mu Family both nodded in agreement.

"Additionally, we must figure out the reason for his explosive cultivation growth. Qing’er, I entrust this matter to you."

The First Ancestor of the Mu Family looked at Mu Qing.

"Alright."

Mu Qing nodded.

"That’ll be it then!"

Upon finishing, the First Ancestor, alongside the Second Ancestor, got up and left.

The Mu Family Head also rose, looking at the four young men and women, reminding them: "The Divine Sign is about to be activated. You four are the pillars of our Mu Family, so make sure to focus on your cultivation."

"Yes."

The four responded respectfully.

The Mu Family Head also reminded Mu Qing with a few more words, then left the discussion hall.

"Alas!"

"What a headache."

"I intended for you to teach him a lesson, but instead, you ended up retreating in disgrace. How can I hold my head high in front of him in the future?"

Mu Qing glared at the four individuals in white, infuriated.

"Young Master, we really don’t appreciate those words."

"Exactly, take a look at his cultivation now. How could we possibly contend with him? If you think you’re better, you give it a try!"

The four looked at Mu Qing with dissatisfaction.

But beneath it all was a sense of humiliation.

As the Mu Family Head described, they are kings among the young generation of the Mu Family, possessing untouchable dignity. Such a retreat without fighting is a first for them.

So they won’t let this matter rest easily.
