3: Chapter 3: Moonlit Red 3: Chapter 3: Moonlit Red “They are right there, be careful, don’t let that trash escape.” Just as Mu Can was about to persuade Qingyi to leave, Mu Chen, limping, led a group of people from a distance. They arrived unexpectedly quickly, as if he was about to see Mu Can’s unfortunate demise. The expression on Mu Chen’s already not handsome face was even more fierce. He also blamed Qingyi’s earlier intervention on Mu Can, wishing Mu Can would die immediately. Mu Can recognized the several people following Mu Chen; they were members of the Mu Family’s Law Enforcement Hall. Shielding Qingyi behind him, Mu Can took a step forward, standing with his hands clasped behind his back, while secretly clutching an elixir in a small porcelain bottle. “Mu Can, you’ve harmed a fellow clan member, come with us now,” said the leading Law Enforcer, waving the Sealing Spirit Lock in his hand. The Sealing Spirit Lock, a device designed specifically to seal a Cultivator’s power. “Hehe, using a Sealing Spirit Lock on a cripple like me? Don’t you think it’s an overkill?” Mu Can looked at the Sealing Spirit Lock and asked with a laugh. Seeing the Sealing Spirit Lock, Mu Can had already prepared for the worst; Sealing Spirit Locks were rare in the Mu Family. “It was I who hit Mu Chen, what right do you have to arrest my brother Mu Can?” When Qingyi saw someone using the Sealing Spirit Lock to arrest Mu Can, she stepped forward and shouted loudly. Her pretty face flushed with anger. “Mu Chen has already said that it was Mu Can who hit him. Miss Qingyi, as an outsider, it’s best you don’t interfere with our family matters, to avoid any unpleasantness,” the Law Enforcer said indifferently, his tone unmistakably threatening. “I don’t care, if you dare to arrest brother Mu Can, I’ll make sure none of you can escape the consequences. Ask Mu Chen, I hit him, was it because he was being insolent…” Qingyi was almost on the verge of exploding, losing the usual tranquility and detachment she had when beside Mu Can. “Qingyi, don’t rush, today I just want to see how shameless they can be,” Mu Can knew that once they went to the Law Enforcement Hall, they would definitely meet the person behind the scenes. Before seeing the person behind it all, Mu Can wasn’t planning to use his trump card. So today, he would see if the person behind the scenes was who he suspected. Mu Can took two steps forward, extending his hands, signaling the Law Enforcers to put the Sealing Spirit Lock on him. “Master Mu Can, we are also carrying out our duties, please understand,” seeing Mu Can cooperating, the Law Enforcer spoke with outward politeness. “Master? Haha, three years ago, I was your master, but three years later today, I dare not claim to be the master of the Mu Family,” Mu Can laughed heartily, his tone, however, carried a chill. Survival of the fittest, the fittest survive, this theme is ever constant in the world of Cultivators. This world is full of warmth, each playing cunning schemes, not just outside, but even within one’s own family, where factions abound, each scheming for their own interests. At this moment, Mu Can had no attachment left for the Mu Family. It’s just a question whether his father is still safe now. It had been three years, and if he said he knew nothing about Mu Can’s current situation, Mu Can wouldn’t believe it himself. “He might just favor that talented junior, but now I’m just an ordinary person, how can he look highly upon me?” Mu Can thought to himself. Turning his head, he looked at Zimu Cliff where he had spent the last three years. It seems today was the day to leave. In an instant, Mu Can thought a lot. During these three years, not only did he practice daily, but he read all the books his master gave him when leaving, feeling greatly enriched. If it had been before, Mu Can would not have been in the mood to read those books anyway. Turning his head back, the melancholic emotions were slapped away, replaced by a determined expression on his face; since there’s no longer any sense of decency or ethics, he might as well break away from the Mu Family and live on his own. Even if there are millions, I shall go forth. The road ahead is rough, I shall walk it myself. “Let’s go,” Mu Can said indifferently to the members of the Law Enforcement Hall, without even glancing at Mu Chen and the others. “I’m going too, I’d like to see how you dare treat my brother Mu Can.” Qingyi took out a jade bone whistle from her pocket, not revealing its material, and gently blew into it. A crisp whistle sound spread far away. The whistle was clear, brief, and exceptionally penetrating. From high in the sky came a crisp returned call, as if responding to Qingyi’s summons. A pressure descended from above, a black speck in everyone’s view gradually enlarging, a gust of wind accompanied by sand swept past, causing Mu Can and the others to squint slightly. As the sand settled, a giant flying bird, taller than a person, appeared next to Qingyi, affectionately rubbing its fluffy head against her arm. “Zhao Yuehong,” Mu Can blurted out, while the others failed to recognize the demon beast in front of them. “Zhao Yuehong, a top-level flight demon beast, stands at the pinnacle of the food chain in the Demon Beast World. The demon beast before them was clearly not yet an adult, as seen from the three spirit feathers on its head; the spirit feathers of an adult Zhao Yuehong would be completely blood-red. This Zhao Yuehong had only the middle spirit feather in red. “Xiao Hong, follow me obediently, okay? If anyone bullies Brother Mu Can, bite them to death,” Qingyi gently said, patting the demon beast that was snuggling her arm like an ordinary small bird. “Squeak.” Upon hearing Qingyi’s words, Xiao Hong lifted its fluffy head and let out a sharp cry. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Aside from Mu Can and Qingyi, everyone present was pained by the cry and quickly covered their ears. Merely a single call nearly brought these people down. “Let’s go.” Looking at Qingyi, Mu Can felt reassured, knowing that with Zhao Yuehong’s protection, even if there were problems, Qingyi could ride this demon beast and leave the Mu Family. He began to wonder about Qingyi’s family background, curious about how they could always live within the Mu Family. After all, even the Mu Family did not possess such a top-tier demon beast. If he hadn’t read about it in a demon beast collection at Immortal Ancient Academy, he wouldn’t have recognized the demon beast before him. The Law Enforcers were clearly startled by the spectacle caused by Xiao Hong, and hurriedly led Mu Can down the cliff. They didn’t dare to even glance at Qingyi, fearing that if she got upset, the demon beast might devour them. Mu Xing and Mu Chen at the front were even worse, completely devoid of their previous arrogance, not daring to turn their heads. Who knows if Qingyi would hold a grudge for the insult earlier. Mu Chen had personally experienced Qingyi’s methods, and now there wasn’t a single part of his body without injury. Now that Qingyi had a demon beast protecting her, he dared not provoke her anymore. Quickly leading Mu Can to the Law Enforcement Hall was the best option. A single Zhao Yuehong had put this group of people into such a state, a bunch of useless beings.
