The mysterious lady glanced at the white-clothed woman, then looked at Qin Feiyang and said jokingly, "Are you thinking that you don't have to be the scapegoat anymore?"
Qin Feiyang raised his eyebrows.
This woman, could it be that she was plotting something again?
The mysterious lady ignored Qin Feiyang and looked at the white-clothed woman with a strange smile, "Thank you for reminding me."
"What do you mean?"
The white-clothed woman frowned and had an ominous feeling in her heart.
"I reckon that the First District will soon turn into an asura hell."
The mysterious lady smiled.
"What?"
The white-clothed woman's eyes trembled.
Qin Feiyang was also very surprised and said, "You plan to kill everyone in the first region?"
"Did I say that?"
"But your suggestion is quite good. I will seriously consider it."
The mysterious lady looked at him with a playful smile.
"You are simply a lunatic!"
Qin Feiyang was furious.
This woman's plan was very clear. She would kill everyone in the first region and then the truth would be buried forever.
"I don't understand."
"Why do you want to do this? Just to frame Qin Feiyang?"
The white-clothed woman also looked at the mysterious lady with a shocked face.
Although the first region's overall strength was weak, it had the most people.
If they really killed everyone, blood would flow like rivers and corpses would be everywhere!
"Frame him?"
"You think too highly of him. This is just a game."
"In a game, there will definitely be winners and losers."
"No matter if you lose or win, there will be sacrifices."
The mysterious lady sneered and looked extremely indifferent.
"You have harmed countless lives. In your eyes, this is just a game. How can you be so vicious?"
Qin Feiyang was unable to restrain his anger and wanted to kill this woman immediately.
This woman had gone mad and lost her humanity!
"Vicious?"
The mysterious lady smiled disapprovingly.
Boom!
All of a sudden.
A terrifying pressure rushed out of her body and rushed toward Qin Feiyang and the white-clothed woman.
This majesty had already exceeded the scope of the sacred aura. It was the aura of an emperor!
Qin Feiyang and the woman in white were immediately imprisoned in the void.
"After I kill you, I'll kill everyone in the first and second zones. No one will know the truth."
"And Qin Feiyang is destined to be the scapegoat. He can't run away even if he wants to."
The mysterious madam looked at the white-clothed woman and smiled.
"What?"
"You still want to kill the people in the second area?"
Qin Feiyang was dumbfounded.
The mysterious madam turned to look at him and smiled. "If you kneel down and beg me, I can consider changing my mind."
"Don't even think about it!"
Qin Feiyang clenched his fists, his eyes cold and piercing.
If he could really save the people in the two regions, he would be willing to kneel.
However, he knew this woman too well. As long as she had made up her mind, she would never change her mind.
If he really knelt down, not only would he not be of any help, he would also be severely humiliated.
"Then there's no other way."
The mysterious madam shook her head in disappointment. She slowly raised her arm and Battle Qi surged from her fingertips, giving off a destructive aura.
His target was the white-robed woman!
"How lively!"
But at this moment.
A faint laugh came from afar.
"This voice …"
Qin Feiyang's heart skipped a beat.
Two streams of flowing light pierced through the air like lightning.
After their true appearance was revealed, one of them was Qin Feiyang's old acquaintance, Mu Qing!
Next to Mu Qing, there was an old woman in black. Her body was bent and she held a black walking stick. Her deep-set eyes were filled with wisps of eerie light.
"Why are you in such a sorry state every time I see you?"
Mu Qing looked at Qin Feiyang mockingly and said.
Qin Feiyang said expressionlessly, "Nothing good happens every time I see you."
"Don't be so cold. After all, we used to fight side by side."
"Moreover, my target this time is not you."
As Mu Qing said, her eyes suddenly turned cold. She turned to look at the mysterious madam and said, "It's time to settle the score with Sky Thunder City!"
The mysterious madam ignored him. Her eyes were firmly fixed on the old woman in black.
The old woman in black was the same. Since she appeared, she had been sizing up the mysterious madam, as if she wanted to see through her.
"Who are you?"
The old woman in black was the first to break the silence and asked in a hoarse voice.
"If I remember correctly, you should be the previous housekeeper of the Mu family?"
The mysterious madam did not answer but asked instead.
"The previous housekeeper?"
Qin Feiyang was secretly shocked.
That Elder Sheng who appeared back then was the current housekeeper of the Mu family. If he had the strength of an Eight Star Battle-Saint, then how strong was this previous housekeeper?
The Mu family's foundation was really terrifying!
He was puzzled again.
With the Mu family's strength, it was easy to kill him. Why did they not do anything to him?
Was it because of Lu Xingchen's instructions?
If that was the case, then the relationship between Lu Xingchen and the Mu family was not ordinary!
"You even know my identity. It seems that you are very familiar with the Mu family!"
"But why don't I remember that there is someone like you in the Forgotten Continent?"
The old woman in black was very surprised that the mysterious madam was able to see through her identity at a glance.
But she was even more confused.
On the Forgotten Continent, the Mu family was an unparalleled existence.
As the previous housekeeper of the Mu family, she knew of anyone who had a bit of strength and status.
But she had no impression of this woman in front of her. She was a stranger.
"Me?"
The mysterious madam faintly smiled and said, "I am just a nameless nobody. I am not worthy of the Mu family's attention."
"A mighty Battle-Saint is also a nobody?"
"It seems that you won't be honest. I can only take you down and bring you back to the family for interrogation."
After she finished speaking!
The old woman in black's gaze was cold. She grabbed the black cane and forcefully stomped it in the air.
Boom!
A monstrous ferocious aura erupted from the black walking stick.
It was as if a peerless beast was sealed inside the cane. As soon as the aura appeared, Qin Feiyang felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss.
Despair, panic, fear, and other negative emotions appeared uncontrollably like a tide and instantly drowned his entire body.
At the same time.
The mysterious madam also stared at the black cane, her pupils constricting.
Swoosh!
Suddenly.
She turned around and used a mysterious footwork, quickly disappearing into the horizon.
The old woman in black smiled contemptuously and said, "Young master, should we chase?"
Mu Qing glanced at Qin Feiyang, pondered for a moment, and nodded, "Chase!"
The black-clothed old woman immediately waved her hand and brought Mu Qing along. Like a bolt of lightning, she tore through the sky.
"What's going on?"
Qin Feiyang was stunned.
Why did they all leave?
"Mu family?"
The white-clothed woman looked at the backs of Mu Qing and Mu Qing. She also frowned and fell into deep thought.
When the mysterious madam and Mu Qing disappeared from his sight, Qin Feiyang finally let out a sigh of relief.
No matter what, he finally got rid of the mysterious madam.
Then.
He looked at the white-clothed woman and asked, "Do you know the Mu family?"
"Never heard of it."
The white-clothed woman shook her head.
"Your sister doesn't know, and you don't know either. Who exactly is the Mu family?"
Qin Feiyang was surprised.
"The Forgotten Continent is very big. It is said that apart from the first and second regions, there are seven regions in the depths."
The white-clothed woman said.
"So, there are nine regions in the Forgotten Continent?"
Qin Feiyang said.
"Yes."
"But apart from these nine regions, there is a tenth region, and this tenth region is called the Central Divine Kingdom."
"The Central Divine Kingdom's territory is very vast, bigger than the nine regions combined."
"It is said that there are many strong people in the Divine Kingdom. Any one of them has the ability to overturn rivers and seas."
"I think the Mu family may be a member of the Central Divine Kingdom."
The white-clothed woman guessed.
"Central Divine Kingdom …"
Qin Feiyang murmured.
It seemed that the Forgotten Continent was much more complicated than he thought.
"Have you been to the Central Divine Kingdom?"
Qin Feiyang asked.
"No."
The white-clothed woman shook her head, a trace of yearning in her eyes.
"No?"
Qin Feiyang was surprised and asked, "Is there a Pill Tower in each of the nine regions?"
"Yes."
The white-clothed woman nodded.
Qin Feiyang asked again, "Then where is the headquarters of your Pill Tower?"
"Our branch's Tower Master has no right to ask about this, so I don't know."
"The headquarters may be in the ninth region, or it may be in the Central Divine Kingdom."
The white-clothed woman said.
"Why do you look like you don't know much about the Pill Tower?"
Qin Feiyang frowned.
"The Pill Tower is very mysterious."
"Even us branch Tower Masters only know about the existence of the Pill Tower."
"Others, such as who is the Head Tower Master, how long has the Pill Tower existed? We don't know anything. "
The white-clothed woman also looked confused, and it did not seem like she was pretending.
"Then how did you and your sister become the Tower Masters of the first and second regions?"
Qin Feiyang was suspicious.
"I became the Tower Master of the second region because I was appointed by the Tower Master of the third region."
"My sister was appointed by me."
"Our Pill Tower's system is that each level is in charge of the next."
"For example, the Tower Master of the first region is the Tower Master of the second region …"
"The Tower Master of the second region is the Tower Master of the third region …"
"And so on."
"Similarly."
"If something happens, the branch Tower Masters can only report to the higher-ups. They can't overstep their authority."
"For example, I can only report to the Tower Master of the third region. I can't directly go to the Tower Master of the fourth region, let alone the Head Tower Master."
"Of course, I can't directly contact the Head Tower Master either."
The white-clothed woman said.
After Qin Feiyang heard this, he could not help but frown slightly.
The so-called system of the Pill Tower was very easy to understand.
In fact, it was similar to the system of the Great Qin Empire.
The counties were under the jurisdiction of the nine regions, and the nine regions were under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Capital. They could not overstep their authority.
However, this system had advantages and disadvantages.
The disadvantage was that it was old-fashioned and cumbersome.
Moreover, once something big happened in the various regions, the higher-ups would not be able to receive the news immediately.
For example, this time, the Heavenly Thunder Flame had been snatched for a long time. The Pill Tower's Head Tower Master probably still did not know about it.
The advantage was that the higher-ups did not have to be so busy.
Think about it.
If all the Tower Masters went to the Head Tower Master whenever something happened, wouldn't he be busy to death?
On the contrary, because of the existence of this system, the branch Tower Masters of each region could share some of the work for the Head Tower Master.
Therefore, no matter what, it was impossible to have the best of both worlds.
"Back then, after I became the Tower Master of the second region, in order to take care of my sister, I let her be the Tower Master of the first region."
"After all, to be able to become the Tower Master of the Pill Tower, not only would her status be higher, but she would also be able to obtain a lot of cultivation resources."
"But I didn't expect that in the end, it would cause her death."
