Kapitel 37: 37. Urgent News
Upon hearing Mu Qianqian's remarks, Wu Zong clenched his fists, his gaze fixed intensely on Chen Xuan.
His expression seemed calm, but this very calmness made everyone around him incredibly uneasy, like the unnerving stillness before a storm.
It was natural, after all—their enemy was right before them.
Even if Chen Xuan was feared by all, no one would be able to resist the urge to take revenge, even if it only meant causing him a bit of trouble.
The elder beside Wu Zong quickly whispered, "Alliance Leader, please think this clearly. This man's strength is terrifying; we are no match for him!"
Even if they had three hundred fighters, rushing forward would still mean death, with no chance of winning.
Everyone feared that Wu Zong, in his grief over his son, would lose control and impulsively attack Chen Xuan.
However, Wu Zong surprised everyone. Just as his rage seemed to peak, he unclenched his fists and said with calm resolution, "A gentleman's revenge can wait ten years. We're leaving!"
The two elders of the alliance were taken aback, but soon relaxed, visibly relieved. They quickly followed Wu Zong as he turned to leave.
Meanwhile, Mu Qianqian hurriedly whispered to her father, "Father, we should leave quickly, too!"
Her father, Mu Lei, a burly man, hesitated before turning to her. "Qianqian, would you be willing to make a sacrifice—for yourself, for me, and for the Great Devil Sect?"
"Father, now isn't the time to talk about that! Let's discuss this once we're safe!"
"Are you willing?"
"Yes, I am! But first, let's escape!"
Her own urgent response surprised Mu Qianqian herself.
She didn't care why he was asking; she only wanted to answer quickly to avoid being left behind.
In the next instant, however, Mu Lei did something that left her utterly shocked: he grabbed her and flew toward Chen Xuan.
Mu Qianqian was horrified. I said to escape, not to throw ourselves to our deaths!
In no time, the two were standing in front of Chen Xuan.
With a respectful demeanor, Mu Lei introduced himself, "I am Mu Lei of the Great Devil Sect. We're not here to compete for any treasures."
"So?" Chen Xuan asked plainly.
Pushing Qianqian forward, Mu Lei continued with a chuckle, "This is my daughter, Mu Qianqian. She was quite impressed by your prowess and would like to make your acquaintance. Might I ask if you'd allow her that chance?"
"Speak directly," Chen Xuan replied.
"Well, my daughter hopes that, one day, you might consider taking her as a disciple, to guide her cultivation," Mu Lei explained, laughing awkwardly.
Hearing her father's words, Qianqian was taken aback, her beautiful eyes wide with surprise.
Am I not one of the Great Devil Sect's most promising cultivators? And now, you're asking me to use beauty to ensnare someone?
Ding! Mu Qianqian feels shock, disbelief, and embarrassment. Emotional value: +150.
Hearing the system notification, Chen Xuan turned to look at Qianqian in her crimson attire.
Her peach-blossom-like eyes avoided his gaze, long lashes fluttering as she lowered her head.
Though her reaction was enticing, Chen Xuan was uninterested for now; his only focus was revenge.
Unlike Jiang Xue, Xuan Su, Xia Zhilan, and Shi Ziyue, taking Qianqian as a disciple wasn't part of his plans, especially as she had little connection to Lin Dong.
So he declined politely, saying, "We'll talk about it another time."
With that, he flew off.
"Why are you just standing there, silly girl? Go after him!" urged Mu Lei, nudging his daughter forward.
"Didn't you hear him? He said to discuss it later," Qianqian replied, a bit annoyed.
"He meant someday, not now?" Mu Lei said, clearly frustrated.
By now, Chen Xuan's figure had disappeared from sight.
Meanwhile, at Yuan Gate's eastern headquarters, a panicked disciple hurried to a small courtyard. Knocking urgently, he called out, "Brother Chen, something terrible has happened!"
Moments later, a broad-shouldered man, Chen Quan, appeared.
Originally tasked with finding and eliminating Chen Xuan, he had sent two close subordinates instead, hoping to focus on his own training.
To his shock, those two had now lost their lives.
"Useless fools," he muttered to himself before asking, "When did this happen?"
"Just recently," replied the disciple.
"No one else knows, correct?" Chen Quan asked, and the disciple quickly assured him.
Satisfied, Chen Quan nodded. Then, with a swift strike, he struck the disciple on the head, killing him instantly.
As the disciple stared in disbelief, Chen Quan remarked coldly, "Apologies, but only the dead can truly keep secrets."
With that, he hid the body in his storage bag and walked off.
At the same time, in the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace, a hurried figure, dressed in elegant robes, approached the residence of the Palace Master.
Ling Qingzhu, bringing with her an attendant, quickly instructed her to wait outside.
Then, taking a deep breath to compose herself, she knocked softly on the door.
"Master, Qingzhu has urgent news to report. May I come in?"
"Come in, Qingzhu," replied a warm voice from within.
She entered quickly and relayed the news with a grave expression, "Master, I've just received word from the Life Seal Hall. The life token of Elder Ma Fengbin, whom we sent to find Chen Xuan in the Great Yan Dynasty, has shattered."
"What did you say?" The Palace Master's gentle expression vanished instantly, replaced by deep concern.
