Chapter 959: Chapter 44: Four Divine Domains Debate (Updated Twice)

"Little Lord, please go easy later." Gu Ya pleaded with Mu Qingge, his face full of distress.

It’s not that he can’t win; it’s that he doesn’t dare to fight back, so he must lose.

Mu Qingge stifled a laugh, nodded, and then struck with a ruthless blow.

This attack landed directly on Gu Ya’s shoulder, forcing him to step back two paces.

However, to make the act more realistic, he ignored his ’injury’ and continued jumping up to fight Mu Qingge.

The two of them fought together, and for a moment, it was hard to tell who would win.

At this moment, a golden mace suddenly intervened between the two, separating Mu Qingge and Gu Ya.

Li Chao stood in front of Mu Qingge, his gaze sharp as he looked at Gu Ya, and said to Mu Qingge behind him, "You go first; I’ll cover you."

Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow and replied seriously, "If we leave, we leave together!"

Li Chao gritted his teeth and said, "Don’t be so sentimental; if you’re a man, just hurry up and go! Bring the treasure back to the Divine Domain."

Mu Qingge’s mouth twitched as she turned and fled.

As she ran, Gu Ye immediately called the other Demon Guards and shouted, "After her!"

Feng Tu also immediately said, "Quick! Quick, pursue! As long as she hasn’t left the Insect Abyss, we have a chance!"

A group of people began to chase after Mu Qingge.

The Demon Clan and Insect Clan moved, and Li Chao urgently led others to catch up. The three clans were running and fighting while Mu Qingge had already run far away.

Until they could no longer see her figure, Si Mo moved his foot, and the forbidden technique that trapped him shattered into fragments that scattered on the ground.

He stepped out and turned to look at the grandfather and granddaughter hiding in the shadows.

His amber eyes were cold, issuing a warning glance at them. Then, he stepped forward and disappeared.

"Grandfather, how did he get out so easily... Hmm..."

Lingling’s words were cut off as her grandfather quickly covered her mouth to stop her from speaking further.

She looked at the old man wide-eyed in confusion, but he said with a changed expression, "Let’s go back and keep this matter to ourselves."

After saying that, he took Lingling’s hand, along with a few injured people from their tribe, and headed in another direction, not bothering to chase Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge ran wildly all the way; she had already lost track of how far behind her followers were.

She ran from night until day and from day until night.

Up ahead, the exit of the Insect Abyss was already in sight.

But Mu Qingge suddenly stopped because she saw someone standing and waiting for her.

Si Mo looked at Mu Qingge, a smile on his lips.

Mu Qingge also smiled and walked towards him, stopping in front of him, her chin slightly raised as she looked at him.

Si Mo reached out, his long and elegant fingers lifted a strand of her hair, carefully tidying it. "No matter what you encounter, take care of yourself and don’t overextend."

Mu Qingge nodded.

Si Mo shook his head with a wry smile, "Telling you not to overextend, how could that be possible? Anyway, promise me to take care of yourself and not get into trouble. I’ll come to see you as soon as I can."

"You’re going to enter the Divine Land? No way, it’s too dangerous!" Mu Qingge was startled and immediately objected.

Should the Divine Clan find out the Demon Lord of the Demon Clan had entered the Divine Land, they might hunt down Si Mo. No matter how strong Si Mo is, two fists are no match for four hands.

"Don’t worry, I’m aware of my limits," Si Mo said.

Mu Qingge was helpless; she also knew once Si Mo decided, he wouldn’t easily change his mind.

"Anyway, don’t act recklessly," Mu Qingge could only warn.

Si Mo nodded in agreement.

"I have to go," Mu Qingge said.

"Alright."

...

Mu Qingge dashed out of the Insect Abyss, threw out the skyship, and boarded it, instantly shooting into the Xinghai.

In the Xinghai, she didn’t go far but stayed to wait for Li Chao and the seven others.

This was a charade; they naturally wouldn’t get hurt.

Sure enough, in less than two days, she saw another skyship coming from the direction of the Insect Abyss. The mark on that skyship was of the Huan Yue Domain.

She spotted them, and they naturally spotted her.

Seeing she hadn’t gone far but was waiting in the Xinghai, the seven "finally got rid of being chased by the Demon Clan," felt somewhat comforted.

After boarding Mu Qingge’s skyship, the seven immediately came to her.

The most excited was naturally Tong Teng.

"Boss, Boss! I thought I was dead meat this time and wouldn’t see you again!" Tong Teng wanted to give Mu Qingge a big hug but was skillfully dodged by Mu Qingge.

"Are you all right?" she asked.

Zhuang Shan nodded and smiled, "We’re okay. We were almost at a dead end being chased by the Demon Clan, and almost thought we’d perish in the Insect Abyss. But, something seemed to happen on their end, and they suddenly retreated hastily, allowing us to escape."

"What about the Insect Clan?" Mu Qingge asked curiously.

Zhuang Shan continued, "The Insect Clan saw that you had already escaped with the item, and we were fighting fiercely with the Demon Clan, so they retreated. It’s fortunate they didn’t continue the pursuit, otherwise, with us fighting two fronts, the outcome could have been much different. This time, it was a thrilling adventure without real danger."

Mu Qingge nodded almost imperceptibly.

Indeed, it was a thrilling adventure without real danger.

"Third Brother, take out that Exotic Treasure you got and let me have a look," Li Chao said at this moment.

Mu Qingge nodded, took out the Divine Weapon, and handed it to Li Chao.

At this time, the blinding light surrounding the Divine Weapon had dissipated, revealing its true form. Mu Qingge could see it more clearly.

It was a Divine Weapon the size of a disc, inscribed with mysterious patterns, and had edges resembling barbed sharp blades. Inwardly, there was a protective ring that could fit over an arm, serving both as a shield and an offensive weapon.

"This is..." Suddenly, Li Chao’s eyes narrowed dramatically, exclaiming in shock, "This Divine Weapon is the Heavenly Gang Breaking Sky Wheel!"

"The Heavenly Gang Breaking Sky Wheel!" Zhuang Shan exclaimed as well.

Xuan Qiang frowned slightly, pursed her lips, and said, "Wasn’t the Heavenly Gang Breaking Sky Wheel the weapon used by the Huan Yue God Emperor of our clan thirty-eight thousand years ago? Later, it went missing in battle, its whereabouts unknown. The Heavenly Gang Breaking Sky Wheel is of immense significance to our Huan Yue Domain. Several generations of Divine Emperors have wanted to retrieve it but have always been unsuccessful. This Exotic Treasure that appeared in the Insect Abyss turned out to be it!"

"What is the Heavenly Gang Breaking Sky Wheel?" Tong Teng asked, looking puzzled.

Mu Qingge also remained silent.

The bait Si Mo used turned out to be a treasure of the Huan Yue Domain?

This really was an opportunity to make a great contribution!

After gradually calming his inner shock, Zhuang Shan explained, "The Heavenly Gang Breaking Sky Wheel was a weapon of the Huan Yue Domain’s Divine Emperor back then, thirty-eight thousand years ago. Later, during a battle, the Divine Emperor perished, his Divine Soul vanished, and his body dissolved into nothingness, leaving the Huan Yue Domain unable to inter their remains. And his weapon disappeared, becoming a long-held regret for the Huan Yue Domain."

His explanation was a revelation for the new disciples like Tong Teng and Xu Bing.

At this moment, Li Chao said to Mu Qingge, "Third Brother, you’ve made a great contribution this time. I will certainly report everything truthfully to the Divine Emperor when we return to the Divine Domain."

Mu Qingge shook his head, "It was everyone’s effort, I cannot claim all the credit."

"No, this time, if it weren’t for your quick thinking and decisive departure, smoothly breaking out of the Insect Abyss, with just our strength, we might not have been able to bring this great treasure back to the Huan Yue Domain. Instead, it might have fallen into the hands of the Demon Clan. That would have been a disgrace to our Huan Yue Domain," Li Chao said seriously.

Si Mo set this up not only to see Mu Qingge but also to establish her position.

So, after some modesty, Mu Qingge no longer insisted.

The return journey was very smooth.

Once they returned to the Huan Yue Domain, Tong Teng, Xu Bing, Feng Xing, and Yu Qi went their separate ways. Li Chao, however, took the Heavenly Gang Breaking Sky Wheel to report to the Huan Yue God Emperor. When Mu Qingge, Zhuang Shan, and Xuan Qiang were summoned by the Divine Emperor, they entered the Divine Emperor Palace’s main hall, only to find that the top ten disciples were all gathered there today in the Divine Emperor Palace.

At this moment, the Huan Yue God Emperor was still lazily reclining on his throne, one hand supporting his head, the other playing with the Heavenly Gang Breaking Sky Wheel.

"You all have done well this time, bringing back the Heavenly Gang Breaking Sky Wheel. Especially you, Third Brother, I am very pleased with your performance," the Huan Yue God Emperor said slowly.

As he spoke, the Heavenly Gang Breaking Sky Wheel disappeared from his hand.

"Those who went on this mission will be rewarded. But today, I’ve gathered you ten here for the upcoming event of the Four Divine Domains," the Huan Yue God Emperor added.

Upon his words, Mu Qingge keenly noticed the other nine present straightened their backs, their eyes becoming more serious.

’The Four Divine Domains event?’ Mu Qingge wondered to herself.

Previously, before heading to the Insect Abyss, the Huan Yue God Emperor had also mentioned this event.

"This time, the Four Divine Domains event is being held in the Zhong Shan Domain. There is a month to prepare before it begins, and you ten should depart together," the Huan Yue God Emperor said.

Li Chao looked up at the Huan Yue God Emperor and respectfully asked, "Divine Emperor, which Elder will lead us this time?"

However, the Huan Yue God Emperor lazily replied, "How old are you all now? Still need an Elder to lead? Just the ten of you going together is fine, discuss among yourselves if anything arises."

With that, he waved his hand and directly swept the ten of them out of the main hall, depositing them on the plaza outside.

Such a peculiar Huan Yue God Emperor left Mu Qingge both amused and speechless.

Yet the others seemed accustomed to it, merely letting out a sigh.

Li Chao said, "Then it’s the old rule, I’ll handle the daily arrangements, and if there are any tricky problems, we’ll discuss and solve them together. This time, our Huan Yue Domain aims to achieve one of the top rankings as well."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

But Mu Qingge looked utterly confused, not knowing what the Four Divine Domains event actually entailed. And what exactly was the ranking about?

When the others went off to prepare, Mu Qingge pulled Zhuang Shan aside and smiled at him, "Senior Brother Zhuang Shan, do you have time to visit my Young Palace Mountain?"

Zhuang Shan smiled, "You want to know about the Four Divine Domains event, right? Even if you didn’t invite me, I would have something to tell you."

"Then I’ll trouble you, Senior Brother Zhuang Shan." Mu Qingge nodded with a smile.

Then, the two headed towards the third Young Palace Mountain.
