Mu Bing's pupils shrank as the blade swayed slightly in front of his eyes. He had no doubt that Yue Qianchou was joking. If he was unhappy, Yue Qianchou's sword would gouge out one of his eyeballs. He hurriedly said, "I deliberately told Wu Xiong that you had once pursued Tianjiao, and that the relationship between the two of you had always been ambiguous. This aroused Wu Xiong's jealousy and made him use his power to help me kill you."
"Uh …" Yue Qianchou choked and was speechless. Let's not talk about whether or not he had an ambiguous relationship with Mu Tianjiao. Even if he did, was this something that a father could say? Not to mention that he didn't! He really couldn't imagine that a father would slander his own daughter's reputation like this.
Not to mention him, even the dead Dong Shunlai would never have thought that the problem he couldn't figure out before was actually caused by Wu Xiong's jealousy. It should be known that sometimes, no matter how shrewd a man was, he couldn't stand his woman having an ambiguous relationship with another man. Because of this, he would often do something impulsive that he would regret.
"So that's how it is!" Yue Qianchou shook his head slightly. He didn't think that Mu Bing was lying. He slowly let out a breath and said, "I give up. You're even slandering your own daughter … Let me ask you, does Mu Tianjiao know that you came to kill me?"
"No! Wu Xiong and I hid it from her. If she knew, she definitely wouldn't agree, "Mu Bing replied hurriedly. Mu Bing replied hurriedly. He blurted it out without thinking, fearing that he would be killed if he didn't answer in time.
Hearing this, Yue Qianchou finally felt a little better. Fortunately, he didn't misjudge Mu Tianjiao. It should be known that in his eyes, Mu Tianjiao had always been a woman who was not inferior to men. She wouldn't be so narrow-minded. It would be really disgusting if he met a family of ingrates.
The sword in his hand moved away from Mu Bing's eyeballs. He patted Mu Bing's face with the blade and said, "I just can't figure it out. How did I offend you? How could you be so vengeful? Even though I'm in the Underworld, you still chase after me at all costs. Why?"
"Hehe …" Mu Bing suddenly laughed miserably. He laughed so hard that he spat out a mouthful of blood. He said in a hoarse voice, "Although I'm incompetent, how can I not see through my daughter's thoughts after raising her for so many years? Who in the world knows her better than I do? Back then, when the two of you left the Divine Ruin Realm, I could tell that Tian Jiao had fallen in love with you. If the two of you were a couple, it would be fine. But now she is married to Wu Xiong. Who is Wu Xiong? He was someone who could be considered powerful even in the Immortal Palace. It was one thing for the lass to go to the World Chamber of Commerce to support you, but she even invited you to the wedding. What kind of occasion was that? It's too obvious. I'm scared! I'm afraid that the lass will do something impulsive and ruin her hard-won happiness! "
Yue Qianchou was stunned. He somewhat understood. No wonder this old dog deliberately humiliated him at Mu Tianjiao's wedding. So this was the reason. The sword patted his face again and said, "But you don't have to tarnish your own daughter's reputation! Aren't you afraid that Wu Xiong's misunderstanding will deepen and ruin your daughter's happiness? "
"As long as you're dead, the lass will stop thinking. I believe that the lass will have a good relationship with Wu Xiong, because the lass's chastity is the best bargaining chip!" Mu Bing suddenly roared with a ferocious expression, "And the most important point is that I can't stand the sight of you. I, Mu Bing, have suffered for so many years in the Immortal World before I could make a name for myself. Why is it that you, a poor boy with nothing, can live better than me? It would be fine if you had a good birth and a good background. But you were just a subordinate of my Four Links Chamber of Commerce! "
"Damn it! I'm afraid that what you said before was just an excuse to comfort yourself! It's true that you're jealous of me. You dog, who do you think you are to compare yourself with me? Who asked you to be so arrogant! "Mu Bing's right eyeball flew out with a flick of the sword in his hand.
"Who asked you to look down on me!" The sword in his hand flicked again, and Mu Bing's left eyeball popped out again.
"Ah … Yue Qianchou, you …" Before Mu Bing could finish roaring in pain, Yue Qianchou stabbed his sword into his mouth and chewed his tongue. He sneered and said, "Who asked you to shout at me!"
Mu Bing's head tilted and he fainted from the pain. Just as Yue Qianchou pulled out his sword, he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Yue Qianchou, where are you …" He couldn't help but be stunned. He thought that it was Mu Bing, whose tongue had been chewed up, who was talking. After listening carefully, he realized that it was Ash-Gray Cloud Xin's voice. He immediately looked up and muttered, "This old man has such a good voice. I can still hear him even though I'm hiding so deep underground."
With a swing of the sword in his hand, he chopped off the head of the unconscious Mu Bing. Then, he put away the Bluefire Flying Sword and bent down to grab the bun on Mu Bing's head. Then, he quickly burrowed into the soil above his head …
Ash-Gray Cloud Xin, who had already burrowed into the half-collapsed underground cave, shouted frantically. He was cleaning up the collapsed area while searching for Yue Qianchou. He had clearly heard Yue Qianchou's scolding voice earlier, so why wasn't there any reaction now? If Yue Qianchou died, he would have to prepare to hide in the Netherworld and escape for his life! He wouldn't be able to return to the Immortal Realm for the rest of his life. Not only would he have to pay back the Passionless Palace, he would also have to face the constant pursuit.
How he wished that Yue Qianchou would scold him again. It didn't matter how vicious the scolding was, as long as he wasn't dead …
Suddenly, Ash-Gray Cloud Xin's sharp divine sense detected some movement in the collapsed area in front of him. He was delighted to see Yue Qianchou bursting out from the ground, holding a bloody head in his hand. It was Mu Bing's.
Ash-Gray Cloud Xin quickly suppressed the pleasant surprise on his face and said with a cold expression, "Did you kill Mu Bing?" However, he was astonished inwardly. Even after being attacked by several Meditation Practitioners, including a Netherworld Emperor at the preliminary stage, they still couldn't kill him. It was a miracle that this guy was still alive.
Half of Yue Qianchou's body was covered in blood. He shook the head in his hand and said with a cold smile, "Do you think he came for me? You are very wrong. I have just interrogated him. The person he wanted to kill is indeed me, but it was Wu Xiong who played tricks behind the scenes. The real target is your Heartless Palace. I don't know how your Heartless Palace offended Wu Xiong. Damn it, he wanted to kill me to use the powerful force of the Immortal Palace to eradicate your Heartless Palace. I am so unlucky. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have asked the Heartless Palace to protect me. "
"Don't talk nonsense here. Do you think I will believe your provocation?" Ash-Gray Cloud Xin was shocked, but he still said coldly, "It is you who offended Mu Bing. Mu Bing is here for revenge."
"Touch your conscience when you say this!" Yue Qianchou patted his chest and lifted Mu Bing's head. He sneered, "Let's not talk about the others. Do you think he can find an early-stage Underworld Emperor to help him? In fact, you know that Wu Xiong is behind this. Without Wu Xiong's support, it is still a question whether he can come to Twilight City. "
"Hmph!" Ash-Gray Cloud Xin didn't care: "You have the Immortal Emperor's decree on you. Wu Xiong doesn't have the guts to oppose the Immortal Emperor."
"That's right. Although Mu Bing has confessed, I don't understand what you said. Wu Xiong is a member of the Immortal Palace, why would he take the lead to oppose the Immortal Emperor? Could it be that he was tired of living? I don't get it, I don't get it! " Yue Qianchou shook his head. Suddenly, he was startled and revealed a suspicious expression: "I say, Old Ash-Gray, do you think the Immortal Palace doesn't want your Heartless Palace to grow, so they sent me here to compose a song? In reality, it was all planned. They just wanted to sacrifice me to find an excuse to take care of the Heartless Palace in the open. "
Ash-Gray Cloud Xin couldn't hide the shock in his eyes. He even suspected that the Immortal Palace was aware of Sect Master Wang Qing's secret, so they planned this. However, he thought of a suspicious point and calmed down in the blink of an eye. He snorted: "Don't try to sow discord here. You were the one who wanted me to protect you, so the Immortal Palace gave the decree to the Heartless Palace. Could it be that you have already colluded with the Immortal Palace and even sacrificed your life to be loyal to the Immortal Palace? "
"It would have been fine if you didn't say it, but I'm even more suspicious now." Yue Qianchou rubbed his bloodstained chin: "You know about the Great Bright Wheel, right?"
"What does this have to do with the Great Bright Wheel?" Ash-Gray Cloud Xin squinted his eyes and asked.
"The Immortal Emperor ordered me to compose a song, and the person who passed the decree was the Great Bright Wheel."
"What's so strange about that? The Great Bright Wheel is in charge of the Immortal World Commerce Alliance, and the Illusionary Immortal City is his territory. Your World Commerce Alliance is in his territory, so it's normal to find him to pass the decree," Ash-Gray Cloud Xin said calmly.
"That's normal, but now that I think about it, the most abnormal thing is that he was the one who asked me to come out to collect new things. When I was worried that we would become enemies and that you would secretly plot against me, he suggested that I find you to protect me. He said that you have mastered the Heartless Palace's Three Swords into One Sword Drawing Style. With your protection, few people in the world can touch me, so it's definitely safe. "
Yue Qianchou put his head behind his back and said suspiciously: "And I was worried that you wouldn't agree, but he told me to find you first. If you didn't agree, he would think of a way to ask for a decree from the Immortal Palace and have the Heartless Palace's Sect Master Wang Qing pressure you. At that time, you would have no choice but to agree. Because he is friends with Yun Peng and Wei Chunqiu, I believed him. You know what happened next. "
Ash-Gray Cloud Xin was shocked when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth as he muttered to himself: "So this was all a trap that was already planned …"
"F * ck! I only realized it now. I clearly knew that if I begged you, you definitely wouldn't agree to protect me, but I was still foolishly tricked by him to find you, thinking that I could disgust you. Now that I think about it, the advantage of doing this is to get rid of their suspicion. It's easy to announce to the public that I begged you but couldn't, so I begged the Immortal Palace. And for the Immortal Emperor's wedding, the Immortal Palace had no choice but to fulfill my request and send a decree to the Heartless Palace! "
