Chapter 781 - 753: Dogs Biting Each Other

Seeing Mu Qingyan’s reaction, Sun Zhe was momentarily stunned and asked, "Qingyan, what’s wrong?"

Mu Qingyan remained silent, simply shaking her head gently.

At this moment, certain bold guesses had already formed in her mind, like a tangled mess stuffed within her heart.

The "Bladeless Mountain-Suppressing Sword" in Sun Zhe’s hands was originally hers, left unused in the Guardian Palace for years, until recently when she asked Xia Shiqing to pass the sword to her yet-unmet disciple...

Of course, Sun Zhe was unaware of what Mu Qingyan was thinking, nor did he know that he already had a master-disciple relationship with his Dao companion.

His face was full of confidence, eager to show off in front of the goddess.

"Qingyan, step back and watch me break this barrier."

"Mm..."

Mu Qingyan quietly stepped aside, her gaze fixed on Sun Zhe’s back, her heart filled with extreme complexity.

It was only then that she realized why the name "Sun Zhe" sounded so familiar earlier.

Never had she imagined that this accidental Dao companion, the man she was already planning to entrust herself to, turned out to be her disciple whom she had never met!

"Truly a fateful mischance!"

With a long sigh in her heart, she felt a buzzing in her mind, unsure whether to feel joy or worry, a mix of emotions surging through her heart, finding it all absurd.

But she intended to keep this hidden forever, under no circumstances could anyone know about this.

If Xia Shiyue and Xia Shiqing found out about her sleeping with her disciple, how would the Guardian Palace’s Holy Daughter, the number one Female Sword Immortal in Hua Country, ever face anyone again?

"Boom——!"

Amidst her fluctuating thoughts, a loud noise suddenly erupted.

Squinting, she found the barrier had indeed been cut open by Sun Zhe with his sword.

"Qingyan, wait here for me, I’ll be right back!"

Sun Zhe knew that such commotion must have already alerted those who set up the formation, so he immediately retrieved his Mountain-Suppressing Sword, unfolded a pair of black and white wings from behind, and flew through the gap, speeding towards the blood mire.

Where he once stood.

Mu Qingyan stood stunned, watching Sun Zhe’s departing silhouette, her gaze lingering on those black and white wings, a bitter smile of complex helplessness appearing on her face.

"The surname Sun, and with Yin Yang Wings... it seems he really is Shiyue’s child, my... disciple."

"Shiyue, I’m sorry, I truly don’t know what to do now."

...

On the other side.

Sun Zhe had long since locked onto the Dream Lotus within the blood mire using his Divine Sense. After breaking through the barrier, he flew low like a meteor streaking across the sky.

In the bloodlike mire, there was a pentagonal stone platform, with the Dream Lotus growing right at its center, emitting radiant colorful light, like a dreamlike masterpiece.

"Who goes there?!"

Several Outer World Cultivators wearing uniform outfits instantly became alert.

"Scram!"

Sun Zhe’s eyes flashed with cold light as dozens of Taixu Sword Qi fused with Yin Thunder erupted spontaneously from the surrounding void, piercing through the bodies of those Outer World Cultivators before they could react.

"What scoundrel dares this insolence!"

Sun Zhe landed on the pentagonal stone platform, just about to go pick the lotus when a green-clothed elder suddenly dropped from the sky, blocking his path.

After sizing up the green-clothed elder, Sun Zhe quickly judged that the elder’s cultivation was at most Tier Eight of the Spirit Gathering Realm. His confidence surged, so he feigned arrogance and said, "Old corncob, what kind of chicken feathers are you, daring to speak to me, young master of the Wang Family?"

"Let me tell you, I am the legitimate heir of the Wang Family. If you don’t want to die, then get lost! Offer the Dream Lotus obediently, and I might let you live a few more years!"

Upon hearing Sun Zhe’s absurdly arrogant words, the green-clothed elder suddenly chuckled, looking at Sun Zhe with a mocking gaze, "Wang Family, hehe... exactly a bunch of greedy mutts."

"Move aside!"

Sun Zhe suddenly shouted, instantly dashing forward and unleashing the Dragon Intent Fist he had been charging at the elder.

The terrifying Fist Force swept through like an unstoppable torrent, seemingly capable of rending everything, sending the green-clothed elder flying like a leaf caught in a gale.

Without any hesitation, Sun Zhe quickly strode to the center of the stone platform, roughly plucked the Sun Lotus and stored it in the Ring Space.

"Sister Long, it’s done!"

"Finished already? Better hurry up and leave!"

Sun Zhe spread his wings behind him and flew back the way he came, soon shooting out of the barrier to find Mu Qingyan.

"Qingyan, the mission’s complete, we have to retreat!"

"Mm, thank you."

Sun Zhe took her into his embrace, spreading his wings to fly into the distance.

Soon after, the green-clothed elder brought a group of disciples in hot pursuit.

"Wang Family thief, today I will crush your bones to dust!"

"Quick, notify the Great Elder, have him come forth!"

"..."

Speeding through the air, listening to the angry voices behind him, Sun Zhe’s lips curled slightly, "Qingyan, the real show is about to start."

Curious, Mu Qingyan was about to ask, when a whistling sound suddenly came from directly ahead. Squinting to see, she discovered it was the Wang Family’s Great Elder and Second Elder leading a chase!

Seeing this, Sun Zhe immediately sped up to meet them head-on, coming to a sudden halt nearby, arrogantly said, "Wang Family’s troublemakers, my people are right behind me, today is your death day!"

The Wang Family’s Great Elder was already severely injured, seeing Sun Zhe’s arrogance venting his blood from anger.

"Little thief, today I will surely slay you!"

Sun Zhe chuckled, "What are you? If you don’t want to live, come at me!"

Saying this, he gave no chance for the Wang Family’s Great Elder to retort, hastily turning to fly the way he came, quickly leaving the Wang Family members behind.

The Wang Family’s Second Elder trembled with rage, "Great Elder, this brat’s life is mine!"

"Why hesitate? Chase him!"

"..."

On another side.

Sun Zhe hadn’t flown far before encountering that previous green-clothed elder, arrogantly shouting, "Fools, my Wang Family people are right behind me, dare chase me, do you have the guts?"

The green-clothed elder pointed angrily at Sun Zhe, "Good for you, Wang Family, today I will let your Wang Family be annihilated!"

Upon hearing this Sun Zhe laughed heartily, suddenly turning into a streak of light vanishing into the distance.

"Old dog, if you’re bold enough to chase, I’ll send you to meet King Yama!"

Under Sun Zhe’s maneuver, soon both parties cross paths.

The Wang Family’s Great Elder glared at the green-clothed elder, about to gnash his teeth, with a cold voice said, "Qin Hong, you old codger! Previously our families agreed not to attack, each would take their treasure. Why do you covet the treasure on Stone Lake’s side?"

The green-clothed elder roared, "A bunch of nonsense, Wang Daqing you despicable old dog! My Qin Family guarded the Dream Lotus for six months, it was just about to mature, but you sent Wang Family disciples to seize it, now you dare utter lies here?"

"If you do not return the Dream Lotus today, my Qin Family will fight to the death with your Wang Family!"

Hearing this, Wang Daqing was momentarily stunned, asking, "When did I send disciples to take your Dream Lotus?"

"Heh, Wang Daqing, acting senile at this time serves what purpose? Old codger, return the Dream Lotus quickly, or I’ll slay you!"

"..."
