Chapter 146: Triumphant Return
On the fifteenth day, time flew by in an instant. Outside, Mu Chuan and three other powerful cultivators who had transcended the mortal realm stood suspended in mid-air, ready to join forces once again to break open the energy seal and release the young generation of Tianfeng County who were cultivating in the Mystic Spirit Temple.
Behind the four of them, there were other powerful individuals from various sects and schools, also gazing up at the Xuanyuan Temple on the mountain peak.
"Who do you think will get that mid-grade spiritual treasure in the Mystic Spirit Temple this time?" someone asked another.
"It should be Fengyun Sect, after all, the overall strength of Fengqing and Fengyun Sect is already there." The person next to him said hesitantly.
"I think the Lei family's strength isn't weak either, they also have a chance to obtain that mid-grade spiritual treasure." Another person chimed in.
……
The sound of discussion spread out, and Tong Huan and Lei Wanshan also showed a smile after hearing it. However, Mu Chuandao and Liu Chuan's faces did not change much, still with a calm expression.
"Let's get started!" Tong Huan said in a low voice.
Mo Chuan Dao and others also nodded, and the four Xuan Li matches shot out simultaneously towards the energy seal.
Having learned from previous experiences, the people behind them also retreated far away as soon as they saw the four preparing to break the energy seal, fearing that the fluctuations of the mysterious power would harm themselves.
The four of them tore open a gap in the energy seal once again. As soon as the opening was made, the disciples of Fengyun Sect came out first.
"I told you, Fengyun Sect would definitely win!" someone in the crowd said with a self-satisfied tone.
However, when they saw Feng Qing being carried out with a body full of blood and in a state of deep coma, the person's face suddenly flushed with heat, but he didn't say another word. Even if their eyesight was not good enough, they could still see that Feng Qing was seriously injured, and the other disciples of Feng Yun Sect had their heads hung low in despair. It didn't look like they had obtained a mid-grade spiritual treasure at all.
Tong Huan also discovered the anomaly. When Zheng Jian and others returned to his side, he asked with a gloomy face: "Zheng Jian, what's going on?"
"It's all because of that kid Mu Feng..." Zheng Jian said with a hint of hatred, but his face flashed with a thread of trepidation. Mu Feng's displayed strength was already far beyond what he could reach.
The younger generation of the Lei family came out in the second batch, but when everyone saw Lei Wei being carried back with the same serious injuries and unconsciousness, they were all talking about it.
"What happened inside? How did Qingfeng and Le Wei both end up severely injured and unconscious?"
"I don't know, maybe there's a very strong monster inside."
Lei Wanshan was initially shocked by Feng Qing's appearance, but upon seeing Lei Wei severely injured and unconscious, his expression turned gloomy, with a chill in his eyes.
The Liu family clan and other disciples of various sects came out one after another from the gap.
Mo Chuan saw that Mo Han Yu and the others had not yet come out, and his heart involuntarily tightened. Fortunately, it didn't take long before he also saw Mo Han Yu and the others appear at the gap in the energy seal.
Mo Chuan Dao took a glance and found that out of the thirty Mo Clan disciples, twenty-six were left. He also let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
However, when Mu's disciples came out, Lei Wanshan and Tong Huan also involuntarily looked towards Mu Feng in the middle.
"Kid, you're a bit too ruthless, aren't you?" Tong Huan said with a gloomy tone, his sharp gaze making Mu Feng's scalp feel numb. Tong Huan also sensed that Feng Qing's dantian had been completely destroyed by Mu Feng, and now Feng Qing was no different from a useless person.
Although the four major forces had previously agreed that this trip to Xuanling Temple would allow for casualties, Tong Huan was still somewhat flustered and exasperated when he actually saw Feng Qing being abandoned.
"Old Tong, the Xuanling Temple's move was originally to test their own strength. If Mufeng's strength is not up to par, their outcome will be even more miserable than it is now." Mu Chuan said calmly, having also learned about the situation from Mu Hanyu's mouth.
"Respectable elder, you're being too heavy-handed. If we don't get an explanation today, I'm afraid it won't be easy to convince anyone." Lei Wanshan said coldly.
"Feng Qing and Lei Wei joining hands to deal with Mu Feng is already a great injustice, what else do the two elders want to say?" Mu Chuan said without backing down.
Tong Huan and Lei Wanshan were also speechless. Just thinking about Feng Qing and Lei Wei, two shape-boundary cultivators joining forces to take on a single Qi-refining boundary cultivator, Mu Feng, not only didn't gain any advantage but instead had their dantians crippled by Mu Feng, this would be extremely embarrassing if it got out.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Mu Chuan Dao waved his hand and was about to lead the younger generation including Mu Feng away.
"Halt!" Tong Huan finally couldn't hold back, a massive dark energy palm shot towards Mu Feng.
Mo Chuan Dao was also prepared early on, his right palm clenched into a fist, and with a swift turn of his body, he launched a straight punch that shattered the giant palm of Xuan Li.
Both are strong in the Out-of-Body State, and in terms of strength, Mu Chuan Dao is in no way inferior to Tong Huan.
"Tong Changlao, you don't even care about your own status, and yet you dare to attack a junior. It seems that at your age, you've lived long enough to become like a dog." The nearby Liu Chuan Changlao rebuked in a low voice.
The Liu family and the Fengyun Sect have never gotten along, so when Liu Chuan spoke, he was also extremely rude.
Tong Huan's face was a mess of bruises, with some areas turning blue and purple, clearly showing that he had not been treated lightly by Mu Chuan Dao and Liu Chuan Qi. This made the people from both the Liu and Mu clans feel extremely pleased in their hearts.
"Don't be too pleased with yourselves just yet, this matter won't end like this." Tong Huan said fiercely.
Tong Huan measured it for a moment, and now he took action, but there would be no result. This matter should still be reported to the sect master and then carefully planned again.
Tian Tonghao left with the Fengyun Sect's men and horses, while Lei Wanshan also guessed that he wouldn't be able to get any benefits, so he took the Lei clan's men and horses away.
Watching Tong Huan and Lei Wanshan's angry backs, Mu Chuandao and Liu Chuan couldn't help but smile at each other, simultaneously cupping their hands in a gesture of respect as they said: "We'll meet again."
A few days later, Mu Chuan Dao brought Mu Feng and others back to Mu City. The patriarch, Mu Qian Lang, also received the news and led a group of high-ranking members of the clan to welcome them at the gate of Mu City.
This time in the Xuanling Temple, although no one got a mid-grade spiritual treasure from the Xuan stage, everyone knew that Mufeng obtained a black giant sword that was even better than the mid-grade spiritual treasure. Therefore, it is also believed that the Mufeng clan won this trip to the Xuanling Temple, not only severely damaging the prestige of the Fengyun Sect and the Lei clan, but also winning more than 100,000 Xuanli Dan, which made everyone in the Mufeng clan extremely pleased.
That night, in the grand courtyard of Mu's mansion, hundreds of tables were set up for a celebratory feast.
The front row had Mu Qianlang sitting in the first position, and beside him was Mu Feng, who made great contributions during this trip to the Mystic Spirit Temple.
Originally, Mu Feng did not want to sit in this prominent position, but the patriarch Mu Qianlang specifically designated it, and Mu Feng was also somewhat helpless, so he had no choice but to sit beside Mu Qianlang under everyone's gaze.
"Feng Er, tell me what happened in the Xuanling Temple." Mu Qianlang said with a smile.
The bustling hall suddenly became unusually quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Mu Feng.
Mo Feng also roughly told the story of what he encountered in the Mystic Spirit Temple, but he concealed the story of Xuan Lingzi and instead fabricated a story about finding a black giant sword somewhere in the temple.
After all, if the matter of Xuanlingzi were to be made public, it might bring about a fatal disaster.
Mo Qianlang nodded repeatedly after hearing it, and agreed on the spot that Mo Feng didn't need to hand over the black giant sword, leaving it for his own use. The crowd also listened with envy on their faces.
After the banquet dispersed, Mu Feng also followed Mu Qianlang to the courtyard where the clan leader lived.
When Mufeng handed over the Xuanling Silver Body Technique and the Xuanling Golden Body Technique to Mutianlang, as the helmsman of the Mufamily clan, his hands were also trembling slightly. The top-grade martial arts of the Mystic Stage, it was truly invaluable.
"Good, good!" He took over the two martial arts books. Mu Qianlang was excited and said a few more good words. With these two martial arts, the younger generation of the clan would be able to become stronger, which was also a good thing for the clan.
"Tribe leader, I have abolished Feng Qing and Lei Wei. I'm afraid the Wind Cloud Sect and the Lei Clan won't let this go easily?" Mu Feng then expressed his concerns.
"What else can they do? It was already agreed upon beforehand that casualties would be allowed. You can rest assured, the clan will back you up." Mu Qianlang said in a low voice.
Even if the Fengyun Sect and the Lei Clan join forces, it's still impossible to take down the Mu Clan. Apart from the fact that the Liu Clan won't stand idly by, the Three-Star Fumo Formation of the three senior elders is almost unbeatable.
But one thing is certain, the Fengyun Sect and the Lei Clan will not give up. For hundreds of years, the grudges between the Fengyun Sect and the Mu Clan have been entangled and unclear.
Just thinking that the Wind Cloud Sect and the Lei Clan might be detrimental to the clan, Mu Feng was also somewhat worried, after all, the Wind Cloud Sect and the Lei Clan both had incredibly deep backgrounds, and had always been the two superpowers of Tianfeng County.
However, his current strength is too weak, and the only thing he can do is to focus on cultivating, and quickly improve his cultivation.
The Holy Continent of Xuan, where only the strong are revered. Only when your own strength is powerful enough will others respect you and fear you.
Understanding this, Mufeng also cast his gaze towards the realm of creation!
