Chapter 930: Chapter 15: Ah! The Vast Divine Land

Why take a detour?

Neither on Mu Qingge’s map nor on Tong Teng’s was it marked.

However, even knowing they had to take a detour, they came in at this moment.

The mist arrived bizarrely, catching them off guard. They entered this place, and upon passing through the mist, they discovered a mortal town hidden here.

Mortal?

Mortals!

Mu Qingge’s clear gaze scanned left and right.

At the moment, she and Tong Teng were standing at the town’s entrance. There were no city walls or gates, resembling a scattered village. However, the houses were quite distinctive, all made of curves and vibrant colors.

The main thing was, the people in front of her were all veiled women.

They wore dresses of various colors, with the common feature being bright colors, veils covering their faces, making their features barely visible. Their bodies were graceful, exuding elegance.

Most notably, their clothing was very revealing. Their arms, legs, and navel were all exposed, without any cover.

Outside the veil, their eyes turned extremely hot upon seeing the two outsiders, with a very strong sense of aggression.

"Boss... what is this place?" Tong Teng asked in a daze.

He felt the eyes of these women were terrifying! As if they wanted to devour him whole.

Mu Qingge was secretly wary of these women’s gazes, yet in her heart, she couldn’t help thinking of the fabled ’Daughter Country’ mentioned in those supernatural novels from her past life.

She didn’t know if this place had a Mother and Child River that could make one pregnant after drinking its water.

Nor did she know if there was a beautiful and passionate queen here.

Her intuition told her, that this place was not suitable to stay for long.

"We should leave here," Mu Qingge said to Tong Teng in a deep voice.

Tong Teng nodded; he had wanted to leave for a long time, alright!

However, as they moved back, the women who were staring at them suddenly seemed excited, rushing toward them, surrounding them, making escape impossible.

They reached out frantically, pulling at Mu Qingge and Tong Teng.

While avoiding, Tong Teng exclaimed in shock, "Boss, I found out that my divine power is gone!"

Divine power is gone!

Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed as she dodged the hands reaching for her and attempted to summon the divine power within her. Sure enough, it seemed as if her divine power had vanished too.

At this moment, she was no different from a mortal.

’What’s going on!’ Mu Qingge’s mind was racing.

She carefully recalled the events before and after entering here, finding nothing unusual. Suddenly, a thought flashed in her mind, making her wonder, ’Could it be that this area is marked for detour because it causes divines to lose their divine power, rendering them like mortals?’

This bold idea, once formed, couldn’t be suppressed.

Mu Qingge at this moment didn’t have the time to prove her guess. Since there was no divine power, she decided to use her own skills to fight!

Mu Qingge used grappling techniques to directly throw away the women approaching her, with no sense of pity. Seeing her fight so fiercely, Tong Teng was briefly surprised but then put on a ferocious face as well.

The two of them showed no mercy, forcing the approaching women back. Gradually, no woman dared to come near, yet they still surrounded them, preventing their escape.

"Boss, what’s with them? Haven’t they seen men before?" Tong Teng was so frightened by the women’s demeanor that his hair stood on end.

Mu Qingge couldn’t answer any of his questions now and could only say, "Regardless of what’s up with them, let’s find a way to leave here and continue on."

The deadline given by the Li Huan Yue Domain was less than four months away. She must reach there before this time, as she didn’t have the time to wait another year to take the examination for other Divine Domains.

"But they’re blocking here; how do we leave?" Tong Teng looked around and said to Mu Qingge.

To be honest, he wasn’t quite used to hitting women, so he mainly used their momentum to push these women away without truly hurting them.

Mu Qingge, however, had no such reservations in taking action, but to avoid escalating the situation, she didn’t use excessive force either, just strong enough to make these women retreat without strength to pounce again.

Mu Qingge surveyed the surroundings and saw the women who wouldn’t disperse. She coldly said, "Ladies, we are just passing through and accidentally strayed in. Now we’ll leave immediately, so please allow us passage."

"Boss, I think these crazy women won’t listen!" Tong Teng whispered.

Whether they listen is one thing, but whether we say it is another. We can’t just get into a fight without a reason, right? Mu Qingge pursed her lips; she had a plan.

"Hmph, you entered here and still want to leave? Why not stay and live with us, isn’t it more interesting here with so many sisters than your boring cultivation?" A female voice came.

Mu Qingge and Tong Teng looked up to see a tall woman walking out as the crowd parted.

This woman wasn’t veiled, her features plain, eyes set wide apart, giving her a slightly dull and fierce look.

However, judging by the others’ attitude toward her, she seemed to be their leader.

"No reason to discuss, no reason to discuss. Damn it! To think we lost our divine power; otherwise, we could just immobilize them directly, wouldn’t it be easier?" Tong Teng muttered incessantly.

Yet his words reminded Mu Qingge.

Her eyes brightened as she asked him, "Where are those nuts? Give me some."

Tong Teng was stunned, asking incredulously, "Boss, of all times, you still think about eating nuts? You should think about finding some medicine to knock them out so we can leave."

"Quit blabbering, give me them," Mu Qingge interrupted him.

Tong Teng had no choice but to grab a handful of nuts and hand them to Mu Qingge. Mu Qingge took them, holding them in her hand, and looked at the woman, asking, "One last time, will you let us through or not?"

The woman sneered, "You came here, lost your divine power, yet still want to threaten us? Divines without power might not be our equal as mortals."

Mu Qingge’s lips curled into a mocking smile, and with a flick of her hand holding the nut, the nuts scattered and shot toward those women.

This scene surprised the women, their eyes widening.

Tong Teng was also dumbfounded.

The women hit by the nuts froze in place, unable to move or speak, only able to roll their eyes.

"Holy crap! Boss, you’re amazing!" Tong Teng exclaimed with shock, stars of admiration glinting in his eyes.

"More!" Mu Qingge extended her hand in front of Tong Teng, palm open.

This time, Tong Teng unhesitatingly grabbed another handful of nuts and placed them in Mu Qingge’s hand, saying to her, "Please, Boss! Don’t worry, we have plenty of nuts!"

"What kind of strange technique is this!" The ordinary-looking woman looked at Mu Qingge in surprise.

Mu Qingge sneered disdainfully, thinking, would this indigenous of the Divine Land understand the acupoint technique she learned in her past life?

Not bothering to waste words with her, Mu Qingge again scattered the nuts from her hand. Having seen what happened before, the women who hadn’t been hit by the nuts screamed frantically and fled in all directions.

Yet, many still couldn’t evade Mu Qingge’s technique and were struck in their acupoints, immobilized where they stood.

"Boss, here!" Tong Teng promptly placed fresh nuts into Mu Qingge’s hand.

The two cooperated seamlessly, and after several attempts, all the women were immobilized except for the ordinary-looking one. She kept retreating, a look of fear appearing on her face. "You... don’t come any closer! Even if you immobilize all of us, you won’t be able to leave here."

Mu Qingge smirked and approached her step by step, "Doesn’t matter, we’ll find our own way out. If we can’t, I’ll come back here and kill one. If we still can’t find it, I’ll kill another. There must be hundreds of you here; surely, by killing a few hundred times, I’ll find a way out?"

Her words made Tong Teng’s heart tremble.

The woman’s face turned deathly pale, her voice trembling as she said, "How can you be so cruel..."

"Cruel? I don’t think so." Mu Qingge’s smile, in her eyes, became terrifying.

Suddenly, a nut in her hand was flicked out without warning, hitting the woman’s acupoint and immobilizing her. But unlike the others, she could still talk despite being unable to move.

Mu Qingge walked up to her slowly, smiling with a hint of wickedness, "You can also choose; no one has to die."

But the woman bit her teeth, unwilling to yield.

Mu Qingge retreated a few steps, her lips maintaining that eerie smile. "The game starts now." With that, she used the Star Beginning Step, appearing in front of one woman, her Exquisite Finger Ring slicing toward her neck.

"Stop!" the ordinary-looking woman hurriedly shouted, her eyes filled with anger and fear.

Mu Qingge paused, but even so, her finger ring still scratched the delicate skin of the woman’s neck. A drop of crimson blood fell, proving she wasn’t bluffing.

Tong Teng stood awestruck, staring at Mu Qingge, though shocked, he wisely remained silent.

"Didn’t you say you’d only kill if you couldn’t find the way?" the woman shouted loudly at Mu Qingge. She seemed to be accusing her of breaking her promise.

Yet Mu Qingge smiled wickedly and said, "Yes! But I think looking the first time surely won’t yield results. I won’t waste time on that; better to kill someone first."

With that, she raised her hand again, her gaze fierce.

"Stop! I’ll let you go! I’ll let you go!" the ordinary-looking woman hurriedly said.

She was scared, truly scared!

She realized that the person before her was unlike those Divines she had met before, who became frightened, timid, and surrendered their dignity after losing their divine power.

The person before her was someone she could not provoke!

The woman blinked, her left eye suddenly turning transparent, a light shooting from it, revealing a path to the outside.

’The secret to leaving was hidden in her eye!’ Mu Qingge was surprised.

She signaled Tong Teng, and both headed straight for the exit.

"Hey! Release us!" the woman shouted.

Mu Qingge’s voice drifted from afar, "Your acupoints will untangle themselves in two hours."

...

Having left that eerie place, Mu Qingge and Tong Teng continued toward Huan Yue Domain.

Along the way, to avoid trouble, they tried to stay clear of towns. Even so, they still witnessed the customs and the vastness of the East Divine Land.

Grasslands, mountains, deserts, snow peaks, these are scenes from the mortal world. The closer they got to Huan Yue Domain, the more ethereal the landscapes became.

"Ah! This vast Divine Land—! Looking at you, I feel so refreshed every day—!" In a sea of grass, Tong Teng spread his arms, intoxicated by the sensation of the breeze caressing his face, bathed in the twilight.

Hearing this, Mu Qingge shivered; she hadn’t expected Tong Teng to be such a fool!

Despite being unable to appreciate his way of expressing inner joy, Mu Qingge agreed with one word he used: ’Vast’! The Divine Land was incredibly vast.

This was only the East Divine Land; just the journey from the small heavenly domain to Huan Yue Domain had such scenery.

For the first time, apart from vengeance and becoming stronger, she developed a slight interest in this land.

"Boss, how long until we reach Huan Yue Domain?" After expressing his inner excitement, Tong Teng asked Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge recalled the map in her mind, then smiled slightly, "Soon, in another month, we’ll reach Huan Yue Domain."

"A month! We’re finally going to arrive!" Tong Teng remarked.

Indeed! Over half a year had passed, she had entered and exited the Divine Land, almost two years in total. Of those two years, she spent over a year in seclusion within the small heavenly domain, and for the remaining half a year, she had been on her way to Huan Yue Domain.

In the Divine Demon Continent, time seemed not to pass so urgently. Two years in the Lower Realm might witness many events, but here, perhaps it was just a period of seclusion, or merely a journey, and it’s gone.

Mu Qingge couldn’t help but grasp the Palace Bell tied to her waist. Over these two years, as the bell at her waist rang at times, she finally stood on the same continent as Si Mo, watching the same starry sky...
