Master's Chief Disciple

Chapter 276: Things are different and people have changed...

So they came to a place called Qizhou in the Chaos Continent. This place is composed of two regions: the Ice Pole and the Fire Pole.

Ordinary people or monks did not dare to enter rashly, because there were still many untamed and ferocious spirit beasts wandering here, and over time they were called fierce beasts.

Because this place is extremely cold and hot, once you step into it, you will become a sculpture or nutrient here.

"This place is sparsely populated... aren't you going to investigate the Blood Demon Sect?" Tang Xuanze said frivolously.

Mu Qing raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat off his forehead, "Senior Sister, why is it so hot here?"

Mu Huayan tapped her forehead lightly with her fingertips. As a touch of ice-attributed power penetrated into her body, the hot feeling was alleviated.

"Use your own ice-attribute power to fight against it."

After that, the two of them did as Mu Huayan said. She turned and continued, "We will investigate after the storm has passed. Besides, the little fox is keeping watch in Huayu County."

Suddenly, there was a loud running sound on the ground. Mu Huayan called out the swallowtail butterflies, "Go, let them know what strength is."

As soon as he finished speaking, many ferocious spirit beasts surrounded him. The might emanating from the swallowtail butterfly made the spirit beasts present lose the courage to act rashly.

Several spirit beasts roared in dissatisfaction and launched a fierce attack on it. The swallowtail butterfly used a fire attribute attack to turn them into ashes.

After showing its strength, the surrounding ferocious spirit beasts dared not move, but knelt down and called the swallowtail butterfly the king. Mu Huayan gently stroked its little head and said, "Well done!"

"Senior sister, what do you mean?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Huayan summoned Bai Lu again and whispered to it. After a moment, it went in another direction.

"You'll find out later."

So Mu Huayan took out the Fuxian Pagoda and threw it on a flat ground. A tall tower suddenly appeared on the ground.

"Before Bai Lu comes back, concentrate on your cultivation!" said Mu Huayan.

Mu Qing and his companions followed their lead and walked into the tower. About a month later, the sound of chaotic footsteps and powerful chirping birds could be heard again.

Mu Huayan was the first to walk out of the tower and sent a message to Bai Lu who had returned, roughly telling him to stay here and be ready for dispatch at any time.

After that, she fed it a lot of magical herbs and flowers, and the surrounding spiritual beasts also looked at it with envy and drooling.

Anyway, there were too many of these things to use up, so I gave them all as rewards one by one.

When Mu Qing and the others walked out of the door, there was only an empty space left. Mu Qing yawned and said, "Senior Sister, can we go now?"

After she nodded, they walked out of Qizhou. Just after they took a few steps, they felt a strong murderous aura coming from them.

Without waiting for the sneak attackers to show up, several spirit beasts attacked various hidden corners at the command of the swallowtail butterfly.

There were many wailing and screaming sounds all around. Mu Qing opened his eyes and then a wounded cultivator flew out from a corner.

He looked at Mu Qing with a bitter face, but the next moment a spirit beast came and swallowed him up.

"......"

"Miss Mu is really good at calculating, what a brilliant plan!" Tang Xuanze shuddered in his heart.

All the wandering cultivators who came to provoke and assassinate them along the way were dealt with by these spirit beasts. Some of them lost their will to fight after seeing the tragic end of others and fled in panic.

On their way back to Huayu County, many passers-by were discussing the recent situation in Huayu County, while others were discussing that Taiqian Immortal Venerable was offering a reward for a person named Mu Huayan.

It was said that anyone who told him his whereabouts would be rewarded handsomely, but so many things had happened in just one month?

"Senior Sister, you are wanted." Mu Qing whispered in Mu Huayan's ear.

After saying this, she also looked around at the images and red words on the walls of the various attics and shops around her. Tang Xuanze felt a chill down his spine, but he did not know about her deeds of killing the God of War.

They were currently on Cilu Street in a place called Hanzhou in the Chaos Continent. After walking a few steps, they heard the sound of discussion again.

"She? Is she worthy of being called the God of Killing?" The man had a rough look, with a beard that almost filled his mouth, and he spoke shamelessly.

Then he demonstrated all his abilities, and the people around him who were drinking and playing chess cheered, but also asked him to take the task of killing Mu Huayan and receive the reward.

A few casual cultivators ran out frantically from behind Mu Huayan and the others, saying in fear, "Don't mess with the God of Slaughter or you will die."

Another casual cultivator stepped forward and shook the bearded man, screaming and shouting: "She is surrounded by ferocious beasts, the ferocious beasts of Qizhou, ah ah ah..."

The bearded man lost his previous arrogance and sat down in a very discouraged manner. Then he picked up the wine on the table and drank it all.

Mu Huayan was a little impatient when she saw the images of her being rewarded everywhere. She turned her little finger in her sleeve slightly and all the information turned into powder in an instant.

The people around immediately started talking about it, saying that whoever was so bold would be killed without a complete body if Tai Qian Xianzun of Hanying Sect knew about it.

Tang Xuanze also took the opportunity to catch up with Mu Qing on Mu Huayan's past and story. After learning about her, he looked at her with a new respect.

"Shenyang Tianzong? The largest sect in Yuanjie?" Tang Xuanze was too excited to control his voice.

Mu Qing gestured to him to keep quiet and looked around. Someone happened to be pointing at them and yelling. Then his eyes widened in fear as if he had seen a ghost.

Then he pointed his trembling finger at Mu Huayan, "Yes, it's the God of Slaughter..."

Everyone's attention was drawn to his words. Not only the monks, but even the people around began to flee with their heads in their hands. In a moment, the whole street became empty.

The cold wind blew and lifted up the papers and debris on the ground. Mu Qing touched his head in confusion and then shouted, "Are we so terrible?"

One of them stuck his head out of the window, but when he met Mu Qing's gaze, he suddenly retracted his head and locked the window, "..."

"We are not the plague god, why are we hiding?" Mu Qing shouted angrily.

After that, a man walked out of the house unconvinced, looking brave and not afraid of monsters, "You are the God of Plague!!"

She was looking for something everywhere, but was also wary of them. She locked her eyes on a thick stick beside her, and then quickly picked it up and pointed it at Mu Qing and the others.

Her left hand was rummaging through something in her sleeve. A crumpled, yellowed piece of paper lay in her palm. She pointed at Mu Qing with her stick, signaling her to come over.

Mu Qing strode forward and snatched the paper from her hand. The little girl was so frightened that she twisted her foot and fell to the ground. Then she quickly stood up and hid in the house.

"A few dozen days ago, more than half of the people and monks in Huayu County died..." Mu Qing paused for a moment.

"Died at the hands of the killing god of war Mu Huayan..."

"And the day after the murder, the remaining people in the county disappeared as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth... After..."

Xin Ce and the other man gasped after reading the contents of the paper. Mu Huayan lost her patience and just reached out to grab it, but Mu Qing burned it to ashes.

She dodged his gaze, touched her nose, and said, "Master, Senior Sister, this is obviously a rumor. It's better to burn such a meaningless thing."

But Mu Huayan was a quasi-immortal emperor, and this law of cause and effect could not be hidden in her eyes. She knew the contents of the paper at a glance.

Mu Qing realized something belatedly and tugged at her sleeve hesitantly. Mu Huayan smiled and said calmly, "Let's go back to Huayu County first."

Mu Qing held her back and tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes, "Senior Sister, let's go back to Shenyang Tianzong."

She glanced around and pursed her lips before continuing, "I, I'm tired of this mundane life, and I'm fed up with the faces of people who can't tell right from wrong..."

Mu Huayan held her forehead and gently stroked her back, saying, "How the world views us is their own business. We just need to be ourselves."

"Not to mention that these are completely fictitious."

Mu Qing nodded, and everyone ignored the people here and went straight to other places. About half an hour later, they returned to Huayu County.

The surroundings were very strange, exuding a strange atmosphere. The entire Huayu County was terribly deserted, without a trace of fireworks. The inns and shops that were open were empty.

The tables and chairs inside were covered in dust. One step on the floor would leave a deep footprint. When I looked up, I saw spider webs hanging from the ceiling.

The group came to Anhou Mansion, which had become a ruin. There were many traces of fighting left on the building, which must have been a fierce fight.

Xin Ce, who went to investigate other places, found many decayed corpses. There was a dead silence all around, except for the dull cries of the huge crows circling overhead.

One could see with the naked eye that many of the corpses were wounded by swords and knives, and many were poisoned to death.

"It's been just a short month, what on earth happened here..." Mu Qing couldn't imagine the tragic scene at that time.

"It's only been a month, but everything has changed..."

The formation that had previously covered the entire Huayu County had been lifted, and they were able to investigate the current situation in the county.

Someone is still alive in a certain restaurant, maybe they know the ins and outs of everything.
