The Endless Swamp stretches vast and boundless.

Beneath the black swamp, traps lurk everywhere. One careless step, and one might get stuck and lose their life...

In a certain corner, the viscous swamp suddenly starts to stir, bubbles emerge like boiling water. Suddenly, the swamp belches like it’s full, spitting out a shadowy figure.

The figure moves with extreme agility, rolling sideways a few times as soon as it appears on the swamp, then quickly stands up.

"What’s going on?" Mu Qingge’s raincoat is now covered in the mud from the Endless Swamp as she looks around at her surroundings in confusion.

The black swamp, the green poisonous miasma—this is definitely the Endless Swamp. But why did she suddenly appear here? Wasn’t she in the underground maze?

Mu Qingge calms herself and carefully recalls what happened before.

After killing Ding Mao, she followed her memory to wait at the maze’s exit. Originally, she thought of sneaking away while those outside were in a fierce battle.

Unexpectedly, when she arrived near the vortex and eavesdropped, there was no sound of fighting.

While she was puzzled, she felt a change above the vortex. A tremendous suction pulled her body irresistibly towards the depths of the maze, and then she ended up here.

"Check carefully here, see what you can find."

As Mu Qingge was perplexed about her situation, a voice interrupted her thoughts.

’Someone’s here!’

Mu Qingge’s eyes sharpened, immediately responding.

Now, the only people in the Endless Swamp are those from the Refining Tower or the Myriad Beasts Sect. And coincidentally, she can’t be seen by either of these forces.

Her eyes flashed, and Mu Qingge used the terrain of the Endless Swamp to conceal her figure, suppressing her presence.

Just as she finished doing so, she saw a small boat from the Refining Tower slowly sail into view—

On the boat stood five disciples of the Refining Tower, each holding a weapon, forming a circle facing outward as if searching for something.

One of them, after failing to find anything, said, "Could that kid impersonating us from the Refining Tower have already left the Endless Swamp? Why else would there be no news during our joint search with the two major forces?"

Another answered, "That’s unlikely. The Endless Swamp is so vast, you can’t leave in just a few days. Besides, the Elders have already set up a perimeter outside. Even if he tries to go out, he won’t get past the Elders."

Another agreed, "Indeed, since there’s no news from the perimeter, it only means that kid is still inside the Endless Swamp, just hiding somewhere."

Their conversation drifted into Mu Qingge’s ears.

Just a few words were enough for her to assess the current situation.

’It seems my identity has been exposed.’ Mu Qingge thought to herself. Moreover, not only was her identity exposed, but it also let the Myriad Beasts Sect and the Refining Tower know she had obtained an exotic treasure, and now they’re hunting her down.

The situation seems a bit troublesome.

Mu Qingge frowned. From what she heard from their conversation, leaving the Endless Swamp quietly might not be easy.

"Senior Brother, hold on a moment, I need to relieve myself." Suddenly, someone on the boat said.

Laughter and cursing immediately rang out.

"You lazy bum, always needing to go. Hurry up, hurry up."

The disciple from the Refining Tower chuckled, tied a pair of wider, flatter shoes to his feet, then left the boat, heading deeper into the swamp.

The remaining four seemed to seize the opportunity to rest, no longer vigilant as before.

Mu Qingge thought it over, then silently approached the Refining Tower disciple who had left the boat. Sneaking up behind him, she took his life while he was dealing with his bodily needs.

The swamp mercilessly swallowed the corpse.

Mu Qingge stood where he had been, fastening the cloak she took from him, holding his weapon in her hand.

"Hey, Liu Yuan, hurry up."

Impatient calls came from the boat.

Mu Qingge’s eyes turned cold, and a faint red curl formed on her lips as she muttered in a lowered voice, "Coming, coming."

With that, she turned, slightly bowing her head, and quickly headed towards the boat.

She boarded without obstruction, and as soon as she steadied herself, a questioning voice came from above. "Huh? Your shoes..."

Before the sentence was finished, a flash of purple light appeared. The four of them stood as if frozen by an immobilization spell, completely motionless. Upon closer inspection, a fine red mark as thin as a silkworm thread had appeared on each of their necks.

One by one, they closed their eyes, falling into silence.

Mu Qingge slowly raised her head, looking at the four lifeless bodies, saying nothing, merely arranging their postures according to their previous formation.

She herself stood at the position where Liu Yuan had previously stood.

From a distance, it looked as if they were carrying out a search mission.

The small boat continued forward, breaking through the poisonous miasma, searching for ’Mu Qingge’s’ whereabouts in the black Endless Swamp.

After a while, disciples from the Myriad Beasts Sect rode their spirit beasts past the small boat. These were a few women, looking young but with eyes carrying a hint of coldness.

Seeing the small boat from the Refining Tower, the leading woman sneered, "Oh, aren’t these the senior brothers from the Refining Tower? Have you found anything? An outsider impersonated a disciple of the Refining Tower to steal treasures, and you were completely unaware, even used as a tool, how laughable."

As soon as she finished speaking, several women beside her immediately laughed in agreement.

The laughter, filled with undisguised mockery.

On the small boat, aside from Mu Qingge, everyone was dead, naturally not responding to them. Mu Qingge lowered her voice and said, "Why do the junior sisters of the Myriad Beasts Sect need to be so smug? Didn’t your Young Sect Master almost... lose his life in the swamp?"

She originally intended to say Taishi Gao was dead, but seeing that these women lacked any signs of having lost their Young Sect Master, she changed her words to probe.

"You! Hmph, our Young Sect Master was just caught off guard for a moment, nearly fell for that thief’s trick. Once he recovers, he will definitely take down that thief himself and take his life!" The Myriad Beasts Sect female disciple said angrily.

Taishi Gao indeed wasn’t dead!

Mu Qingge thought to herself, a layer of coldness rising in her eyes.

Previously, in the underground maze, she felt Taishi Gao’s ’death’ was too easy. She didn’t expect he had used some trick to deceive everyone.

Since Taishi Gao was not dead, once he awoke, he would naturally reveal what happened below.

No wonder, it was so simple for these people to target her and order a pursuit!

Taishi Gao may not be dead, but Ding Mao was certainly dead. Mu Qingge’s eyes flashed, and she feigned sadness, "Our brother Ding didn’t have the luck of your Young Sect Master."

Mentioning Ding Mao, the Myriad Beasts Sect female disciples finally remembered that the two forces were currently enemies facing a common foe.

The leading female disciple said, "Rest assured, inside the Endless Swamp, you have Elder Feng responsible for the search, and on the outskirts, Elder Jin and our Elder Hei Mu are in charge of keeping watch, that thief won’t escape no matter what great skill he possesses."

"Indeed, then we will continue to search for that thief’s whereabouts." Following their words, Mu Qingge spoke, as the small boat sailed further away.

Suddenly, a female disciple from the Myriad Beasts Sect shouted, "Hey, that’s our Myriad Beasts Sect’s search area over there, yours is on the other side."

Mu Qingge squinted her eyes, moved the boat’s bow, and said to the Myriad Beasts Sect female disciple, "Got it, got it, I’m just turning around."

The small boat turned, sailing in the direction the Myriad Beasts Sect female disciple had pointed.

Once the small boat disappeared into the poisonous miasma, the Myriad Beasts Sect female disciples left and continued their search.

’Unexpectedly, they still search in divided zones.’ Mu Qingge thought secretly.

She disguised herself as a disciple of the Refining Tower to gather more information and find an opportunity to leave. But now, hearing the Myriad Beasts Sect female disciples, leaving might not be easy.

Moreover, if she continued to linger, she might encounter Elder Feng.

’It seems I can’t get out anytime soon.’ Mu Qingge sighed inwardly.

...

"Wait, something’s wrong." The leading female disciple of the Myriad Beasts Sect, who had gone far, suddenly reacted.

"What’s wrong, Senior Sister?" A disciple from the Myriad Beasts Sect stepped forward and asked.

The leading female disciple furrowed her brow, carefully recalling the encounter with the Refining Tower disciples and slowly shook her head, "Something’s wrong, something’s wrong."

Her two ’something’s wrong’ left the other female disciples baffled.

"What’s wrong?" A female disciple asked in confusion.

The leading female disciple said, "Didn’t you notice, during the conversation, only one person spoke with us? Based on the arrogant attitudes of those Refining Tower disciples, if we had mocked them like that, the other four would not have remained silent. Moreover, the swamp was so wide, there was no need to deliberately turn the boat. It’s clear he didn’t know the direction of the Refining Tower’s search!"

Her analysis made the other female disciples immediately realize.

"Yes! That seems to be the case!"

"Not good!" The leading female disciple’s eyes suddenly narrowed, and she turned to the junior sister beside her, "That person must be the thief who tricked our Young Sect Master, we let him escape!"

"Senior Sister, what should we do?" The others asked anxiously.

The leading female disciple immediately commanded, "Quick, let’s chase in that direction. Send up signal flares to notify the others to encircle him." As she spoke, a determined light shone in her eyes.

The Myriad Beasts Sect female disciples followed orders, chasing on spirit beasts while sending out the agreed-upon signals between the two forces.

Red fireworks shot into the sky, exploding above the Endless Swamp.

The brilliant radiance was vaguely visible even to those guarding the perimeter.

"They found him!" Jin Gui, who was on watch at the perimeter, saw the fireworks burning in the sky, gritted his teeth, and said with hatred. His eyes were filled with vengeance, turning blood-red and terrifying, his aura sharp and violent.

At this moment, he was desperate to rush in and tear the murderer who killed his son into pieces!

"Elder Jin, stay calm. Once Elder Feng finds that person, he will bring him out for you to deal with personally. To prevent this from being a ruse to lure us away, we still need to stick to our posts." Hei Mu recognized Jin Gui’s impulsiveness and immediately advised.

Jin Gui forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, his aura gradually calming, yet remaining violent.

...

The female disciple from the Myriad Beasts Sect, along with a few junior sisters and other sect members they met on the way, chased in the direction of Mu Qingge.

"Quick, over there!" The female disciple shouted, pointing at a faintly visible skiff in the distance.

These three words were truly uplifting.

The group accelerated in pursuit of the skiff.

At the same time, from another direction, Feng Kunhai also led those who had gathered from the Refining Tower, in pursuit.

The forces from both sides converged almost simultaneously before the skiff.

"Elder Feng." A male disciple from the Myriad Beasts Sect, whose identity seemed significant, rode forward on a Spirit Beast and cupped his fist towards Feng Kunhai.

Feng Kunhai nodded in acknowledgment, looked towards the skiff, and slightly frowned.

On the skiff stood four individuals, who, upon seeing him, neither saluted nor showed any reaction.

"One is missing!" The female disciple from the Myriad Beasts Sect stepped forward and stated.

Feng Kunhai immediately grasped the implication and raised his hand to strike. A huge force of palm wind swept towards the skiff, causing the four motionless people there to silently collapse to the ground under its force.

"They’re all dead!"

A voice filled with terror emerged from both groups.

Feng Kunhai’s expression turned grim, his lips tightly sealed into a line, and his hawk-like eyes filled with gloomy clouds. With his experience, how could he not see that these disciples were already dead?

Moreover, they hadn’t just died; they had been dead for quite some time.

"I originally thought those few brothers from the Refining Tower were merely captured, but I never imagined they would meet such a cruel end." The female disciple from the Myriad Beasts Sect lamented.

Feng Kunhai turned his gaze towards her, scrutinizing for a moment before saying, "Niece, recount what happened just now in detail, without missing a single bit."

The female disciple from the Myriad Beasts Sect felt a cold shiver, emboldened earlier in front of the disciples of the Refining Tower, but she couldn’t dismiss the elder of this tower.

The male disciple from the Myriad Beasts Sect turned to her and said, "Junior Sister, recount the events carefully to Elder Feng."

"Yes, Senior Brother." The female disciple from the Myriad Beasts Sect then detailed the events that had just occurred.

Of course, all the mockeries they had thrown at the disciples of the Refining Tower were glossed over as merely exchanging information.

After hearing it all, Feng Kunhai pondered deeply and concluded, "There are two possibilities. One, this was a deliberate ploy to gather us all here, so he could escape to the periphery. Another possibility is that he is still hiding near us despite his cover being blown."

After speaking, Feng Kunhai’s gaze coldly swept over the surrounding area, as if Mu Qingge were hidden among them.

Under his sharp gaze, many felt uneasy, as if the elusive thief was lurking right beside them.

"Send a message to the outposts to guard closely, not to miss any place." Feng Kunhai instructed the disciples around him.

A rigorous search began again within the Endless Swamp.

Meanwhile, Mu Qingge was hiding in a place they could never have expected.

In the space, Mu Qingge leisurely took a bath, changed into clean clothes, and lay on the couch, letting her slightly damp long hair dry automatically.

As her cultivation improved, her few cottages had already become a palace.

The interior setup, although not luxurious, was also elegant and tranquil.

At this moment, she stared at the Luminous Pearl on the canopy, playing with the Beast Taming Flute she stole from Taishi Gao. On the floor beside her bed lay two eggs.

One egg was dull and chaotic, the other was colorful and dazzling.

"Keep searching, keep searching until you give up, then I will leisurely leave." Mu Qingge said with a hint of pride in her voice.

Hiding in the space, even if unable to move, she was safe.

She refused to believe that the people from the Myriad Beasts Sect and the Refining Tower would stay here waiting for her forever.

First of all, they didn’t have enough Elixirs to avoid the poison.

By then, even if they didn’t want to leave, they’d have to.

Mu Qingge’s gaze softly shifted to the two eggs.

She suddenly sat up from the bed, crossed her legs, and looked at them, murmuring, "You two..."

Suddenly, she felt a slight movement from the dull and chaotic egg.

Her eyes narrowed sharply, instantly teleporting in front of the egg and poking it with her hand.

"Soft?" Mu Qingge was surprised at her finger’s reaction.

The sensation was much like pressing a balloon filled with air. Her gaze curiously shifted to the colorful egg beside it, poking it similarly, "Hard?"

This egg was cold and hard, completely opposite in texture to the dull egg.

Mu Qingge rubbed her chin, contemplating, "If one of you is the Mixed Element Heavenly Extreme Flame’s prototype, then the other would be the Spirit Beast that the Myriad Beasts Sect wants so bad? Just what kind of Spirit Beast could attract the Myriad Beasts Sect so much?" Mu Qingge squinted her eyes.

These answers, however, were unknown to her now. Only when what was inside the eggs hatched would the answers become clear.

"Seems like I just have to wait." Mu Qingge sighed.

Though this prototype of the Mixed Element Heavenly Extreme Flame surprised her, as the Fire Cloud Yang Flame’s Firebird was impressive enough, who knew the Mixed Element Heavenly Extreme Flame was an egg, and a soft one!

Uh, soft egg? That doesn’t sound quite imposing.

Mu Qingge’s face slightly embarrassed, she scratched her nose and returned to bed, burying her head in sleep. How else to fight the evil forces outside without resting well?

Mu Qingge slept soundly, oblivious to time.

When she awoke, she shook her dizzy head and called out, "Mengmeng."

"Meng Baby is here!"

Before her words faded, Mengmeng appeared before her.

Mu Qingge looked up at her and asked, "How long did I sleep for?"

Mengmeng counted on her fingers, then showed three fingers, "Three days!"

Three days!

Mu Qingge blinked, amazed at how long she could sleep.

After eating some fruits she grew in her space and meditating for a while, Mu Qingge felt energized and bursting with power. She summoned the God-piercing Mirror, imbuing it with Spiritual Power.

Immediately, the mirror cleared, revealing the situation in the Endless Swamp.

The Endless Swamp was quiet, with no one in sight.

Mu Qingge searched for a while, then frowned, "Did they give up so quickly?"

Thinking, she recalled Feng Kunhai’s appearance, attempting to locate him with the God-piercing Mirror. But the image in the mirror suddenly blurred, returning to chaos.

"What happened?" Mu Qingge was stunned and looked at Mengmeng.

Mengmeng innocently shrugged, "Master, although the God-piercing Mirror is powerful and can see many places, it’s still limited in use!"

"What do you mean?" Mu Qingge tensed.

Mengmeng said, "The God-piercing Mirror needs a cooldown after being used five times in full. The cooldown period is about six months!"

Pu!

Mu Qingge seemed to hear her internal voice spitting blood.

What a ridiculous setting!

Six months? Why not ten years?

Mengmeng didn’t notice Mu Qingge’s face change slightly and continued earnestly, "Master, count yourself, didn’t you use the God-piercing Mirror five times since you got it!"

"..." Watching Mengmeng speak so confidently, Mu Qingge found herself at a loss for words.

Having finally calmed her turbulent emotions, Mu Qingge spoke with resentment, "So now the God-piercing Mirror can’t be used and has to wait six months for the next use?"

"Exactly!" Mengmeng snapped her fingers.

Mu Qingge silently pulled her over, reaching into her pocket.

"Ahhhh—, Master, what are you doing?" Mengmeng frantically covered her pocket, struggling desperately.

Mu Qingge stopped her actions and looked at her, "I’m checking if there’s any treasure left inside."

Mengmeng was so angry that her eyes turned red, and she pouted, her chubby face puffing up. "Master, you’re bullying me!"

Mu Qingge spread her hands innocently, "I just want to see if there’s any magical treasure that can show me our situation."

"No more! No more! Really no more!" Mengmeng desperately clutched her pouch.

"Let me see, just a glance." Mu Qingge didn’t believe her and insisted on checking for herself.

...

Over the Endless Swamp, green poisonous mists lingered in the air.

The surroundings were eerily silent.

The patrolling disciples of the Myriad Beasts Sect and the disciples of the Refining Tower were nowhere to be seen.

It seemed as though they had finally given up and left the Endless Swamp.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared mid-air, and a person and a fox appeared over the Endless Swamp.

As soon as the snow fox appeared, its form enlarged a bit, allowing Mu Qingge to sit on its back.

Dressed in red, the snow wolf stood out in the Endless Swamp, yet it didn’t seem out of place. For when she had previously encountered people from the Myriad Beasts Sect, Mu Qingge had noticed that their attire was also very colorful.

Aside from Taishi Gao who always liked to dress like a scholar, everyone else preferred wearing bright, flamboyant clothes.

So this time, she decided not to disguise herself as a disciple of the Refining Tower but instead revealed Yin Chen, disguised as a disciple of the Myriad Beasts Sect.

As long as she didn’t encounter people from the Myriad Beasts Sect, she believed she could fool the eyes of the Refining Tower disciples. Moreover, with Yin Chen by her side, if something happened, it would be a battle strength.

"Yin Chen, remember to restrain your aura. That old guy from the Myriad Beasts Sect has a keen sense of smell. If they catch you, you, a Snow Fox King about to become a Divine Beast, might just become someone else’s pet." Mu Qingge joked teasingly.

Yin Chen rolled its eyes at her disdainfully, "Master, don’t forget, I’m your partner like you said before."

"Of course, of course, I won’t abandon you!" Mu Qingge smiled reassuringly, stroking the fur on Yin Chen’s back.

Yin Chen shook its head, feeling a bit uncomfortable, but it didn’t resist.

Mu Qingge patted the top of Yin Chen’s head, saying, "Let’s go, let’s check the outskirts."

The God-piercing Mirror was no longer useful, so she had to come out and see for herself.

Of course, the best outcome would be that the people from the Myriad Beasts Sect and the Refining Tower gave up on hunting her, withdrawing from the Endless Swamp.

Riding on Yin Chen’s back, Mu Qingge headed towards the outskirts of the Endless Swamp, miraculously not encountering anyone along the way!

After traveling for a day and a night, they were infinitely close to the periphery of the Endless Swamp.

Yin Chen slowed down, and Mu Qingge frowned in thought, "They really left?" Such an easy retreat always made her feel strange.

"Master, something’s wrong!" Suddenly, Yin Chen stopped, baring its teeth and entering a battle-ready state.

The fur on its back stood up like silver needle spines.

Mu Qingge’s eyes slowly narrowed.

In fact, she also felt that something was amiss around them.

This place was just too quiet.

So quiet that it carried an eerie sensation...

"Come out," Mu Qingge said, squinting.

As soon as she spoke, people emerged from around her. Among them were members of the Myriad Beasts Sect and the Refining Tower.

Even Hei Mu from the Myriad Beasts Sect, Jin Gui from the Refining Tower, and Feng Kunhai were present.

Nearly a hundred people, glaring at her like hunters viewing prey caught in a trap.

Mu Qingge did not see Taishi Gao among the crowd, suggesting that even if he wasn’t dead, he was seriously injured and sent back to the sect for care.

As soon as Hei Mu appeared, his eyes locked onto the snow fox that Mu Qingge was riding, a flash of greed passing through his eyes.

Jin Gui glared at her with hatred, speaking in a venomous tone, "You finally decided to come out!"

Feng Kunhai stepped forward, saying to Mu Qingge, "Hand over what you obtained inside, and we might spare your life."

Mu Qingge laughed mockingly, "Elder Feng, do you think your words are believable?"

Feng Kunhai’s eyes grew cold, not bothering with further explanation.

Not to mention that Mu Qingge killed Ding Mao and injured the young sect master of the Myriad Beasts Sect—even if she hadn’t killed, she wouldn’t be able to leave alive today. His words earlier were just to appease her.

"Who exactly are you? Why can you tame beasts?" Hei Mu stepped forward, questioning.

His eyes still locked tightly on Yin Chen, as if afraid it would disappear from his sight.

In Linchuan, everyone knew that only members of the Myriad Beasts Sect could tame beasts. Even if other forces kept some spirit beasts, it was because they paid the Myriad Beasts Sect hefty sums to tame them.

Yet Mu Qingge rode on the Snow Fox King, and seeing the Snow Fox King’s demeanor, it was clear it hadn’t been tamed. It seemed capable of fighting without its master’s command, maintaining its independent consciousness.

While this might not be obvious to others, Hei Mu, as the Great Elder of the Myriad Beasts Sect, could easily discern it.

That’s precisely why, after noticing this, Hei Mu became so interested in Yin Chen.

Having a spirit beast meant the person wasn’t ordinary.

This notion was ingrained in Hei Mu’s mind, so he wanted to first find out more about Mu Qingge.

His intentions weren’t hidden.

Anyone with some intelligence could easily understand.

However, before Mu Qingge could respond, Jin Gui erupted, "Hmph, no matter who you are! You must repay killing my disciple with your life today!"

With that, before the others could react, his entire body erupted with a blue and purple brilliance, accompanied by a destructive force, charging towards Mu Qingge.

As soon as he acted, Feng Kunhai couldn’t stand idly by.

He drew his weapon and also charged at Mu Qingge.

With the two elders of the Refining Tower taking the lead, the disciples of the Refining Tower also surged forward, surrounding Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge’s eyes turned cold, and in a flash of silver light from her right hand, the finger cover transformed into the Linglong Spear, held in her hand, "If it’s a fight you want, then it’s a fight you’ll get!"

"It’s a Divine Artifact!"

"He actually has a Divine Artifact in his hand!"

The other elders of the Refining Tower eyed the Linglong Spear with insatiable greed.

"Kill him!"

Seizing two exotic treasures was already a grave crime.

Having also harmed the young sect master of the Myriad Beasts Sect and killed the beloved disciple of Elder Jin from the Refining Tower was another crime.

Now, revealing a spirit beast and a Divine Artifact seems to have added another reason to ensure Mu Qingge’s death!

The appearance of the Linglong Spear threw the Refining Tower members into madness.

And the Snow Fox King Yin Chen’s sudden transformation made the eyes of the Myriad Beasts Sect members burn with fervor.

Even without Hei Mu’s orders, they frantically joined the siege.

Yin Chen’s mountainous body was incredibly agile. Its nine fox tails swung constantly, sweeping aside the Myriad Beasts Sect and Refining Tower disciples, leaving Mu Qingge to fight.

"Pseudo Divine Beast!" When Yin Chen’s true aura was exposed, Hei Mu couldn’t control his excitement and joined the battle.

Mu Qingge wielded the Linglong Spear, clashing with Jin Gui and Feng Kunhai.

With her current cultivation, handling the two’s combined attack wasn’t difficult.

However, Hei Mu suddenly joining in greatly increased her pressure.

"Yin Chen!" Mu Qingge called out.

She needed Yin Chen to help her divide the pressure so she could defeat them one by one.

Yet, Hei Mu was craftier, releasing several high rank spirit beasts to chain Yin Chen, preventing it from assisting.

Yin Chen let out an anxious cry, wanting to rush to Mu Qingge’s side but was chained by Hei Mu’s spirit beasts.

With Hei Mu’s lead, the disciples of the Myriad Beasts Sect unleashed their spirit beasts to chain Yin Chen, while they joined forces with the Refining Tower disciples to occasionally harass Mu Qingge.

The battle raged fiercely.

Various lights representing spiritual power flickered over the Endless Swamp, illuminating the night sky.

"Purple Realm! He’s actually at the Purple Realm!"

When Mu Qingge unleashed her spiritual power, many were astonished.

Such a young Purple Realm is something they had never seen in their lifetime.

And being in the Purple Realm, with a Spirit Beast and a Divine Artifact, the only conclusion is that behind him stands an immensely powerful family. Only with such resources could someone achieve the impossible before their eyes.

Feng Kunhai’s eyes darkened, and he whispered to Hei Mu, "We must kill him! If we let him escape, it would be an endless disaster for both of our families!"

If they had known Mu Qingge’s background before making a move, they might have maintained some rationality and not turned hostile.

But now that they have already taken action, there’s no possibility of reconciliation, and it must be a life-and-death struggle.

Otherwise, if he escapes, they would face the wrath of a terrifying family!

Mu Qingge was unaware that in this instant, Hei Mu and Feng Kunhai were thinking so much. She was immensely troubled by the disciples of the Myriad Beasts Sect and Refining Tower.

With a flick of her hand, the Grenade Gun appeared in her hand.

In one hand the Linglong Spear, the other the Grenade Gun.

With the Linglong Spear aimed at the attacking Great Elders, the Grenade Gun indiscriminately swept through the disciples.

Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat——!

"Ah, ah, ah——!"

"What is this thing?!"

"Help me——!"

"So painful——!"

Mu Qingge’s first shot, countless disciples fell dead or were shot.

The Grenade Gun in her hand harnessed energy from the Beast Core of an Advanced Spirit Beast, more than enough to deal with these Green Realm, Blue Realm, and even some Yellow Realm disciples.

"What is this?"

"I’ve never seen this before!"

Two Elders of the Refining Tower dodged the shots from the Grenade Gun and gathered together in shock.

Mu Qingge swiftly aimed at their foreheads and fired two bullets. The speed was so fast that it pierced their defenses, leaving two bloody holes in their foreheads.

The two Elders of the Refining Tower couldn’t even cry out before silently falling from the sky, swallowed by the Endless Swamp, disappearing without a trace.

This scene shocked many people.

The remaining people were all full of dread for Mu Qingge’s Grenade Gun.

Mu Qingge, with the Linglong Spear in one hand and the Grenade Gun in the other, hovered in the air, overbearing like a War God, in a striking red blood robe.

The corners of her crimson lips curled into a provocative smile.

Hei Mu coldly snorted, a dense purple light emanating from him as he charged at Mu Qingge.

’Purple Realm Peak!’ Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed sharply.

Hei Mu’s realm was two minor levels higher than her own!

Plus, with four High Rank Spirit Beasts like the Mysterious Wolves by his side, their combat power was terrifying. Mu Qingge estimated that even the three from the Le Family in the Middle Ancient Realm couldn’t gain favor in front of Hei Mu.

Hei Mu’s speed was fast, and in an instant, he was fighting with Mu Qingge.

Jin Gui from the Refining Tower, refusing to be outdone, or perhaps driven by hatred, forcibly increased his Spiritual Power to the Purple Realm through a Secret Method, continuing his assault on Mu Qingge.

Feng Kunhai, though only a Blue Realm High Rank, didn’t retreat at this moment and seized the opportunity to occasionally shoot a cold arrow at Mu Qingge.

Myriad Beasts Sect and Refining Tower’s three top experts teamed up to assault Mu Qingge, the four blurring into a dazzling fight.

Yin Chen was caught up by Spirit Beast attacks and couldn’t help Mu Qingge. After all, just those four High Rank Spirit Beasts equivalent to the Purple Realm under Hei Mu were enough to entangle Yin Chen.

Even though it had a noble bloodline, it was not yet a true Divine Beast, its pressure worked on ordinary Spirit Beasts but was useless against High Rank Spirit Beasts of the Purple Realm!

Bang——!

Suddenly, a formidable force descended from the sky, directly blasting the Refining Tower’s boats and the foothold of the Myriad Beasts Sect disciples.

Dozens of people instantly plunged into the swamp, swallowed whole.

The remaining disciples were swept up by the shockwave, flying into the air, screaming as they fell into the original swamp, quickly becoming silent.

The unexpected turn of events momentarily separated the four who had been fiercely fighting.

Hei Mu and Jin Gui looked at Mu Qingge with darkened eyes.

Mu Qingge’s face was somewhat pale, holding a bronze mirror, with some dark burnt aura still lingering on it.

Just now, when Hei Mu and Jin Gui simultaneously attacked her, she frantically pulled out the bronze mirror capable of reflecting attacks to defend herself. The attacks reflected hit the disciples of the Myriad Beasts Sect and Refining Tower.

So this is what a single blow annihilation looks like, Mu Qingge had witnessed it!

She pressed her lips tightly together, her brows slightly furrowed.

She could feel the bronze mirror in her hand heating up, seemingly unable to withstand such power again for a short time.

Of the three attacking her, one-on-one, she feared no one. But with this siege, she would definitely be at a disadvantage.

’What to do?’ Mu Qingge’s mind was racing.

"Ah——! I’ll kill you!"

Suddenly, Jin Gui let out a heartrending scream.

His body rapidly swelling, ballooning like a balloon!

"Not good! He’s going to self-destruct, retreat quickly!" Hei Mu’s eyes snapped open wide and he instantly retreated backwards.

Feng Kunhai also drew a sharp intake of breath, quickly fleeing far away.

What kind of power is equivalent to the self-destruction of a ’Purple Realm’ strong person?

They soon felt it.

Jin Gui charged over fiercely, the surrounding air currents became quite violent, and Spiritual Power was thrown into chaos, like dozens of tons of high-explosive bombs!

Mu Qingge’s eyes widened suddenly, Jin Gui’s crazed figure reflected in her clear eyes.

Perhaps, she couldn’t understand Jin Gui’s state of mind after learning of Ding Mao’s death, where no pain is greater than a heart that is dead. Avenging Ding Mao had become Jin Gui’s sole goal.

Seeing it was hard to kill Mu Qingge, he could only use self-destruction to take her down with him.

Boom——!

The violent explosion shook the Endless Swamp, and the sky seemed to tear apart with the rampant forces, forming cracks. This power, like ripples, quickly spread throughout the entire Endless Swamp.

Despite being prepared, Hei Mu and Feng Kunhai were still battered by the aftershocks of this force, spitting blood, with internal injuries.

Far away from the Endless Swamp, in a Sky City, Si Mo suddenly opened his eyes. Those glass-like eyes were as deep as a vortex, exuding waves of icy air.

In a flash, his figure disappeared from the noble godlike throne.

"Cough, cough." Hei Mu spat a mouthful of dirty blood, looking at the place where the fierce battle had taken place.

There was nothing left, Spirit Beasts, people...

It seemed everything had turned into void, leaving just him and the barely alive Feng Kunhai.

Feng Kunhai struggled over to Hei Mu’s side and asked, "Is that person dead?"

Hei Mu answered, "No one can escape a Purple Realm strong person’s self-destruction." But he suddenly hesitated, "But he seemed unusual, his methods were strange..."

"Then what should we do?" Feng Kunhai’s complexion was exceedingly pale.

The entire task force was wiped out, leaving only him, truly not knowing how to report back.
