Chapter 127: Chapter 127: The Stunned Qian Renxue
"Of course. Brother, forgive my bluntness, but the Slaughter City may seem perilous to others, but to me, it's just my backyard," Mu Chen remarked dismissively.
What?
The Slaughter City is Mu Chen's backyard?
Xue Qinghe smiled warmly, exuding an air of friendliness.
"What, you don't believe me?" Mu Chen raised an eyebrow, smiling.
Xue Qinghe didn't reply but continued to smile. He acknowledged Mu Chen's unparalleled talent, unmatched in the soul master world. However, it was Tang Yuehua entering the Slaughter City, not Mu Chen. While Mu Chen could come and go as he pleased, Xue Qinghe was skeptical about Tang Yuehua's safety there.
"See that iron ring?" Mu Chen pointed to a shop a hundred paces away, where several iron rings hung from the signboard.
"Yes." Xue Qinghe nodded.
Mu Chen raised his hand, and with a slight flick of his fingers, a silver light shot out from his sleeve.
*Thud*
Amidst the bustling street, the sound of a nail being driven into wood was unmistakable.
"This..."
Xue Qinghe stopped in his tracks. With his keen eyesight, he didn't need to inspect it closer; he knew something akin to an arrow had pierced through the small coin-sized hole of the iron ring.
A hundred paces and it went through the iron ring!
"What did you just shoot?" Xue Qinghe asked.
"A hidden weapon," Mu Chen replied.
"Hidden weapon?" Xue Qinghe looked puzzled.
"Yes, a weapon suited for stealth attacks. The one just now is called a sleeve arrow. It strikes unexpectedly, taking the opponent by surprise. In the Slaughter City, apart from the Slaughter King and his enforcers, no one can use soul skills from their rings. With this, do you still worry about your Aunt Yuehua's safety?" Mu Chen asked.
Uh!
Xue Qinghe was taken aback.
Was he worried about Tang Yuehua's safety? Clearly not.
However, Xue Qinghe was deeply impressed by the power of Mu Chen's sleeve arrow. If the Heaven Dou Empire's army could be equipped with such weapons, it would significantly boost their combat strength.
This realization made Xue Qinghe anxious.
Noticing Mu Chen's words, Xue Qinghe asked, "Brother, you mentioned the thing in your sleeve is called a hidden weapon. Are there others?"
"Yes." Mu Chen nodded, understanding what Xue Qinghe was getting at.
"Can I see them?" Xue Qinghe asked with interest.
"Sure. Brother, I know what you're thinking. You want to collaborate with me to purchase hidden weapons, right?" Mu Chen asked.
"Yes." Xue Qinghe nodded, eager to obtain the manufacturing method for the Spirit Hall.
"No." Mu Chen replied.
"Why?" Xue Qinghe asked.
"Because the continent's forces are currently balanced. If I sell these hidden weapons to you, it would enhance the Heaven Dou Empire's military might. I trust you, but I can't guarantee that future emperors won't have ambitions to unify the continent, causing widespread destruction. If that happens, I would be a sinner." Mu Chen casually offered an ostensibly noble reason.
"Brother..."
"Rest assured, Brother, I won't sell these hidden weapons to the Heaven Dou Empire or the Spirit Hall, or any other faction like the Star Luo Empire. You're my brother, and if you need help, I'll definitely assist you."
Mu Chen didn't wait for Xue Qinghe to finish speaking and preemptively stated his stance.
"Alright."
Xue Qinghe sighed, yet secretly felt relieved. As long as Mu Chen didn't sell these unique items to the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires, everything was fine.
"Actually, besides this hidden weapon, I have something else that ensures Yuehua can pass through the Hell Road without fail," Mu Chen continued.
With Mu Chen's understanding of the Spirit Hall, the more he displayed his talents, the more attention he would garner from them. If Mu Chen didn't join the Spirit Hall, they would inevitably seek to eliminate him. Wasn't this courting death?
However, Mu Chen wasn't concerned about the Spirit Hall's existence.
In the soul master world and the entire continent, perhaps only Mu Chen dared to disregard the Spirit Hall.
"Oh, what is it?" Xue Qinghe asked curiously.
"This!" Mu Chen waved his hand, retrieving a piece of paper from his soul guide, wrapped around a dagger. The paper bore a large character: "Explode."
"What is this?" Xue Qinghe asked curiously.
Though unsure of what it was, Xue Qinghe could sense the energy contained within the paper.
*Whoosh*
Mu Chen flicked his wrist, sending the paper soaring into the sky.
"Explode!"
When it reached about thirty meters high, Mu Chen muttered an incantation.
*Boom*
The energy within the paper suddenly erupted, echoing like a thunderclap. Accompanying it was thick smoke and an undeniable shockwave. Under its force, stalls on the street were overturned, leaving chaos in its wake.
"Who's causing trouble in the city?"
Soon, the patrol responsible for maintaining order arrived. Seeing Xue Qinghe, they all saluted in unison, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Only then did Xue Qinghe come to his senses. The explosion's power was akin to an attack from a Soul King. With such a thing, how could Tang Yuehua not pass through the Hell Road and obtain the Killing God Domain?
Xue Qinghe waved them off, and the patrol dispersed. He then asked, "Brother, was that thing also a hidden weapon?"
Mu Chen shook his head, "That was an Explosive Talisman, not exactly a hidden weapon. I gave Yuehua ten thousand of them."
"What, ten thousand?"
Xue Qinghe was taken aback. If an army possessed ten thousand of these, capturing a city would be a matter of minutes.
"Yes."
Mu Chen nodded, "Now, do you still worry about Yuehua's safety?"
Xue Qinghe shook his head, looking at Mu Chen with a complex expression. Xue Qinghe's true identity was Qian Renxue, the Pope's daughter. What Mu Chen possessed had already aroused Qian Renxue's caution and attention.
"Do you want some too?" Mu Chen asked.
"Would you give me one?" Xue Qinghe asked, a bit excited.
"One is not enough. I'll give you a hundred!" Mu Chen waved his hand generously, producing a hundred Explosive Talismans. With a flick of his wrist, a wisp of soul power sent them floating towards Xue Qinghe.
"Thank you, Brother." Xue Qinghe was thrilled. With these talismans, he could study them thoroughly. If he could replicate them, the Spirit Hall would have no trouble unifying the continent. After a pause, he added, "Brother, Shrek Academy is just ahead. I won't go in."
"Go on, I know you're a busy person." Mu Chen smiled, boldly patting Xue Qinghe's rear.
Uh!
Xue Qinghe froze, bewildered. He, or rather she, had just been playfully slapped on the rear!
