5: Chapter 5: Mu Can’s Trump Card 5: Chapter 5: Mu Can’s Trump Card “Mu Can, nephew, I advise you to stop struggling in vain,” a figure slowly walked through the air. The newcomer, clad in a blue robe, exuded an indescribable ease and grace, walking through the air with at least the strength of a half-step Martial King. This person was none other than the Mi Family’s Second Elder, Mu Zili, who unexpectedly had the strength of a half-step Martial King. Mu Zili appeared to be a gentle and elegant middle-aged man, dressed like a scholar with a handsome appearance that belied his age of almost forty. The only flaw that could be considered was a pair of narrow eyes, but even those added a somewhat gentle and soft quality to his demeanor. “Sure enough, it’s Uncle who’s been scheming behind the scenes. I’m just very curious, now that I’m already half-crippled, why do you still resort to such ruthless methods to deal with me?” Faced with the powerful Mu Zili, Mu Can still spoke with ease and without fear. Having chosen to come to the Law Enforcement Hall, Mu Can had already sensed that the mastermind behind the scenes was Mu Zili. Exposing this mastermind today meant that no matter what, today’s events could not end amicably; all Mu Can hoped for was that Qingyi could find a way to escape in time. Even with a trump card in hand, Mu Can was still unsure in the face of Mu Zili, who could walk through the air. It’s known that even the Mu Family’s Ancestral Patriarch was only at the peak of the Martial King realm. Hearing Mu Can’s words, Mu Zili actually clapped his hands and laughed heartily, as if he had heard the funniest thing in the world. A pair of narrow eyes glittered with madness. “Nephew, that’s a good question. Today, I must ask you, do you have any desire to take over the entire Mu Family?” Mu Zili slowly descended from the air, approached Mu Can, and asked with a flash of sharpness in his eyes. “If the nephew says he has no designs on the Mu Family and furthermore the Ancestral Patriarch would not let a cripple take over the Mu Family, I wonder how Uncle views this matter?” Sibling strife and fratricide are among the most tragic affairs in this world. “Ha ha ha, nephew, you jest. With the Mu Family being so grand, who wouldn’t want a piece of it? Moreover, my nephew, you’re not necessarily a useless person, right? Either way, today you have no chance of leaving the Mu Family alive.” The dagger is revealed when the map ends—since Mu Zili had decided to make a move against Mu Can, he no longer hid his murderous intent. The overt killing intent even caused Mu Can to break out in goosebumps. “Uncle, aren’t you afraid that the Ancestral Patriarch will be angry when he comes out of seclusion?” Seeing Mu Zili’s determination to kill him, Mu Can furrowed his brow and said. He still couldn’t understand why the position of the Mu Family Head could drive his usual Uncle to such madness. It was completely contrary to Mu Zili’s character many years ago; something must have caused such a drastic change in him. “Mu Can betrays the family, attempts to steal the Mu Family’s treasured Fire King Cauldron, and I killed him on the spot. There’s no such thing as sibling strife.” Mu Zili grinned, showing his ghastly white teeth, almost as if one could smell the bloodiness in his mouth. “Uncle really is the most intelligent one in the Mu Family. Must have been very tiring to pretend for all these years?” Now that the masks were off, it was time for a battle if it came to that. Life and death are fated, wealth and honor are in heaven’s hands. A small red creature called out from the side, spreading its wings and unleashing Wind Thunder Blades at Mu Zili. The Wind and Thunder Emission came forth, but with a casual wave of Mu Zili’s hand, instant calm was restored, and all the Wind Blades vanished into nothingness. “Do you want to die?” Mu Zili frowned slightly, looking at the small red who dared to attack him and said indifferently. Unsuccessful in the first attack, the red creature decisively took to the sky, circled twice, and then dived down rapidly, aiming for Mu Zili, who stood with his hands bound below. “Ignorant of death.” Seeing the red creature persistent in attacking, Mu Zili extended his hand towards the sky. A huge golden hand suddenly appeared in midair. The red creature didn’t even have a chance to dodge and was instantly grabbed by the golden hand, as if holding a small chick. Luo Que Hand, this Martial Skill, when mastered, is rumored to even catch the Vermilion Bird in the air. “Xiao Hong.” Seeing Xiao Hong captured, Qingyi shouted loudly. Xiao Hong was a pet that had grown up with her and had always been her bodyguard. Their bond was self-evident. Hearing Qingyi’s call, Xiao Hong struggled forcefully but to no avail. The underage Xiao Hong had no power to counter under Mu Zili’s Luo Que Hand. “Miss Qingyi, you should take good care of your pet. Otherwise, once you marry into the Mu Family, the family rules of the Mu Family are very strict.” Mu Zili was determined to kill Mu Can, so the mention of marrying into the Mu Family here definitely meant marrying Mu Chen or Mu Xing. After finishing his words, Mu Zili lightly waved his hand, and the huge golden palm grabbed Xiao Hong and sent it crashing into the ground. With a loud bang, Xiao Hong was smashed hard into the ground. Xiao Hong let out a mournful cry, its life or death unknown, the same Xiao Hong that scared the Law Enforcement Elder of the Mu Family to flee without fighting. In Mu Zili’s hands, it didn’t even last a single round. “Xiao Hong.” Seeing Xiao Hong, whose life or death was uncertain, Qingyi quickly ran over to check on Xiao Hong’s injuries. “Now it’s your turn, my good nephew, your uncle will send you on your way,” said Mu Zili indifferently, not even glancing at Xiao Hong on the side. From Xiao Hong making a move to being caught by the Luo Que Hand, it was just a matter of a lightning-quick moment. In this brief instant, Mu Can only did one thing: he put the Elixir from the small porcelain bottle into his mouth. Although Mu Zili saw Mu Can’s action, he had no intention of stopping it. Three years ago at Immortal Ancient Academy, when the best new student there returned to the academy seriously injured and comatose from an expedition. That day, numerous reclusive experts of Immortal Ancient Academy emerged from seclusion, all striving to heal Mu Can. Shadowy figures dashed across the sky – a sight unseen for decades. The number one Sword Dao master of Immortal Ancient Academy, Mu Kebai, left his retreat to wield his sword. The top Pill Master of Immortal Ancient Academy, paused his development of top-tier Elixirs, leaving seclusion purely to seek a cure for Mu Can. … On an ordinary day, any of these reclusive Immortal Ancient Academy experts, if they were to appear, could be admired for a long time. But for the sake of Mu Can, they chose to come out of isolation. There was no other reason; on that day, Mu Can’s master, the Vice Chancellor of Immortal Ancient Academy, rang the Phoenix Bell of the academy. The Phoenix Bell only rings when Immortal Ancient Academy faces a significant threat. And in the entire history of Immortal Ancient Academy, it had only been rung twice. The resounding bell summoned all the secluded experts who were in deep Cultivation. All of this was done merely for the sake of saving Mu Can, a genius student seen once in a thousand years. Likewise, on that day, Immortal Ancient Academy proved its strength and upheld its reputation as the top academic institution. But ultimately, all efforts were in vain. Various medical techniques had no effect on Mu Can whatsoever. After Mu Can woke from his coma, that number one expert of the Immortal Ancient Academy, Mu Can, had vanished. In his place was this Mu Can, who had lost his Cultivation and his talents. Many people shook their heads and left, returning to their closed-door Cultivation. Mu Can lived in the academy for three months, and when all medical treatments proved ineffective, Mu Can decided to leave Immortal Ancient Academy and return to the Mu Family. “Can’er, remember one thing: there is no place in the world where one should not practice Cultivation, never give up on yourself. Take these books with you and read them when you have time, I believe they will provide you with insights. If anything happens, just crush the Protective Talisman I gave you, and your master will naturally feel it. This Elixir, once consumed, can grant you the strength of a half-step Martial King for a short period of time, ensuring your escape from danger in a critical moment.” After several futile attempts to retain Mu Can, Mu Can’s master could only respect his disciple’s choice. The Elixir that Mu Can had just consumed was precisely the one his master had given him, and it is now Mu Can’s greatest reliance. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
