Novel Full Chapter 744: The Young Mistress’ Test!
At the campsite where the people of King Mu Fort were staying at night, the ground was scattered with the corpses of the Hellish Boars, and some of the warriors of the King Mu Fort who had been torn apart by the beasts. The pungent smell of blood filled the air, making one nauseous.
Everyone from the King Mu Fort breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders. That was because with the departure of the martial venerable from the Seven Mysteries Mansion, the killing intent in this dark night had finally been completely removed.
Even so, everyone was still in shock.
If it were not for the mysterious powerhouse named ‘Patriarch of Hell’, all of them would have died tonight.
Mu Caiwei, who had recovered from her daze, bowed deeply to her surroundings and said with extreme gratitude, “I, Mu Caiwei of the King Mu Fort, thank senior for saving me. Please show yourself, senior. The entire King Mu Fort will be endlessly grateful!”
The rest also looked around.
However, the surroundings were silent. There was not even a shadow, let alone a person.
“Looks like this senior really passed this place by accident. He must’ve left by now. Forget it, perhaps we don’t have the fate to meet the senior’s face!”
Mu Caiwei was slightly disappointed as she gave the order.
“Collect all the corpses of those who died in the battle. Everyone, check the carriages. If everything is fine, we’ll depart now!”
She walked slowly to the carriage where Ye Chen was after everything was settled, “Jiu’er, are you alright?”
Although she only cared about Jiu’er on the surface, she still glanced at Ye Chen next to Jiu’er secretly.
However, Ye Chen looked calm as if the threatening scene earlier did not affect him at all.
“Young mistress, I-I’m fine!”
Jiu’er finally came back to her senses, and she instantly threw herself into Mu Caiwei’s embrace while shivering as she said, “Young mistress, I-I thought that y-you…”
“That’s great. Pack up. For safety reasons, we can’t stay here any longer. We have to leave now!”
Mu Caiwei consoled her before leaving.
Not long after, the convoy set off again. All the warriors of the King Mu Fort were fully alert this time, worried that the same situation would happen again.
Thankfully, there were no accidents along the way.
During that time, the old man called Doctor Hu came over to check Ye Chen again. Ye Chen was very cooperative.
After Doctor Hu left, a smirk appeared at the corner of Ye Chen’s lips, ‘That woman from the Mu family, she’s as smart as an ordinary man. She’s starting to suspect me.”
He originally did not intend to attack earlier, but when he thought about how Mu Caiwei had at least saved him, and he still had to understand this world through the King Mu Fort in the future, he made a move to suppress that martial venerable from the Seven Mysteries Mansion.
…
“Young mistress, I’m sure that the young friend with the surname Shi’s martial vein is severely damaged. There are no traces of cultivation in his body.”
“I understand. You may leave!”
Inside a luxurious carriage, Mu Caiwei waved. After Doctor Hu left, a thoughtful look flashed in her beautiful eyes, “It seems like I was overthinking. It really wasn’t him.”
The fact that the person who saved her claimed to be the Patriarch of Hell, coupled with his extremely old voice, he was probably an old monster who lived in seclusion.
It was definitely not Ye Chen.
She was even more certain of her guess. She frowned and said, “But who is this senior who calls himself the Patriarch of Hell?”
…
The next morning, the convoy arrived at Tianfeng City unscathed. A group of people were already waiting at the city gate.
The leader was a middle-aged man in a dragon robe. His face was stern and dignified, but he seemed to be injured. His face was slightly pale.
However, the gazes of the surrounding onlookers were filled with respect and fear when they looked at him. It was because the man was one of the five most powerful people in Tianfeng City. He could be said to be the overlord of a generation, and he was also the master of the King Mu Fort—King Mu!
At that moment, a warrior from the King Mu Fort walked over excitedly, “Master, the young mistress’s convoy has arrived!”
“Caiwei and the rest have arrived so quickly?
“Quick, quick! Everyone, come with me to welcome them!”
When King Mu heard that, a hint of joy flashed across his dignified face. He then led the dozens of people behind him out of the city gate quickly.
Mu Caiwei alighted from the carriage, “Father!”
Sensing her pale face, the King Mu’s eyes turned cold, “You’re hurt? Who hurt you?”
“Father, let’s talk when we get back!”
…
Tianfeng City was a giant coastal city with a population of several millions of people. The King Mu Fort was one of the few that controlled the lives of millions of people.
Ye Chen followed the people from the King Mu Fort. He saw a lot of traffic along the way. People came and went, giving him the feeling that he was in the ancient capital.
What surprised him even more was that many people in the city were cultivators. Even the owner of the roadside stall was an Internal Energy martial artist.
Crack!
Half an hour later, in the study of the King Mu Fort, King Mu held a cup in his hand and exerted strength in his palm. The cup instantly turned into dust, and his face was filled with a cold gleam, “Caiwei, did you say that you encountered an ambush from the Seven Mysteries Mansion on your way here?”
Mu Caiwei nodded lightly and said, “I’m not sure if he’s a member of the Seven Mysteries Mansion. However, the person in the lead was a martial venerable, and he even seized the spirit weapon you gave me to protect himself!”
“He took my spirit weapon with one hand?”
King Mu’s expression was slightly solemn as he said, “Then I presume his cultivation is at the venerable stage. As for whether he’s a member of the Seven Mysteries Mansion, we still have to investigate further. If he’s really from the Seven Mysteries Mansion, then even if I have to die, I’ll seek an explanation from them!”
When he spoke to this point, he took a deep breath in and said, “How did you return? Logically speaking, your cultivation base is only at the innate stage, so it’s utterly impossible for you to be a match for that martial venerable.”
Mu Caiwei explained what had happened.
“The Patriarch of Hell?”
King Mu immediately gasped when he heard that, “He killed over 10 innate stage cultivators without making a single sound, he forced a martial venerable to sever an arm and flee 1,000 kilometers away?”
A storm brewed inside of him.
One must know that even as a top-notch martial venerable, he could not kill dozens of innate stage cultivators without exposing himself.
“Caiwei, this person must be a pseudo emperor or even a martial emperor!”
Thinking to this point, King Mu said with slight regret, “It’s a pity that such a powerful person just happened to pass by. Otherwise, we could’ve gotten to know him. Who knows, our King Mu Fort might be able to regain the glory of our ancestors.”
Mu Caiwei sighed lightly. She thought the same as well.
“Oh!”
King Mu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked, “On the way back, I heard from Chengliang that you saved someone of unknown origin?”
