CHAPTER 69
Betrayal
After making up her mind, Mu Yun once again returned to her former small courtyard.
Over the past few days, some things had happened too quickly. He lacked the time to experience the experience of being reborn.
In the past, when he raised his arm and called out, the myriad realms trembled.
But now, he was just a small teacher in North Cloud City. In the Southern Cloud Empire, he was nothing in the Heavenly Fate Continent!
Raising his cultivation base was the most important thing!
However, this time, the Zhu Tian Painting didn't open, nor did any elixirs, weapons or martial arts techniques appear in Mu Yun's mind. This surprised Mu Yun.
"It seems that if I want to open the Heaven-Slaying Diagram, I don't just need to increase my cultivation level. There are other ways!"
After making up her mind, Mu Yun sat on the bed and began to cultivate.
Even though he was a Celestial King in his previous life, in this life, every step of his cultivation had to be done steadily and surely. Only in this way could he ensure that he could go further in the future!
Dong dong dong …
At that instant, someone knocked on the door.
"Mu Shan, what's the matter?"
Due to First Elder and Second Elder's methods, Mu Linchen was worried, so he left Mu Shan and Mu Yu by Mu Yun's side.
"Young Patriarch, the situation is not good. The Great Elder and Second Elder have escaped!"
"Ran away? Where did he go? "
"Diao Family!"
Mu Shan said with a troubled expression, "First Elder and Second Elder knew that the matter was exposed, so they brought their own disciples to join the Diao Family. Because Diao Yadong lost all face in North Cloud Academy, the Diao Family tried their best to accept the two of them. Now, in our Mu Family's East Market, close to forty percent of the Alchemists and Artifact Refiners have left to join the Diao Family with the Great Elder. The market is in chaos! "
"Oh?"
Hearing Mu Shan's report, Mu Yun frowned.
"These two old foxes had already prepared a way out. No wonder they were so fearless as to poison Foster Father. It is likely that the Diao Clan had a hand in it!"
"What should we do now? Young Patriarch! "
"Where's foster father?"
"The East Market Square of Beiyun City belongs to our Mu Clan. The Clan Leader has already gone to the East Market Square to appease the merchants!"
Mu Yun knew that the daily expenses of a family's development were huge.
The strength of a family depended on the number of shops and the number of refiners and alchemists in the family.
Currently, the Mu family only had five second-grade alchemists, a dozen first-grade alchemists, and only about twenty blacksmiths. However, there was not a single blacksmith.
This time, Mu Fengyuan had taken away some of the Mu Family's Alchemists and Artifact Refiners, which would undoubtedly be a great blow to the Mu Family's economy.
"Let's go take a look too!"
After making up her mind, Mu Yun led Mu Shan and Mu Yu towards the market.
"Chief Shepherds, it's not that we don't believe you, but with so many Artifact Refiners and Alchemists gone, how are we going to continue doing business?!"
"That's right! Without spiritual pills and mortal weapons to sell, we won't be able to survive!"
"That's right, Chief Shepherds. You have to think of something."
As soon as they arrived at the eastern market, Mu Yun saw some shop owners tightly surrounding her foster father.
In the Mu Family's market, the most profitable shops were naturally those that sold mortal weapons and spiritual pills. The lack of Artifact Refiners and Alchemists would definitely affect their business.
"Everyone, please calm down!"
Mu Linchen stretched out his hands and motioned for everyone to be quiet. He said, "Due to internal reasons of the Mu Family, everyone has suffered losses. I, Mu Linchen, am very sorry. So, from today onwards, everyone doesn't have to pay rent for three months. After three months, I guarantee that the Artifact Refiners and Alchemists in the Mu Family's market will be the same as before, or even better than before!"
As soon as Mu Linchen finished speaking, the crowd cheered.
However, some people were still a little worried.
"Chief Shepherds, I heard that this time, it's because the Mu Family's elders ran away with their people. Nurturing Artifact Refiners and Alchemists is more difficult than nurturing descendants. How can the Mu Family have any Artifact Refiners and Alchemists in such a short period of time?"
"Who said we don't have any?!"
A light voice suddenly sounded from the crowd.
Qin Mengyao walked out in a light blue dress with a graceful figure.
As soon as she appeared, she immediately attracted the attention of most of the people present.
"The Family Qin will deploy three Second Grade Alchemists, five Lower Grade Ordinary Artifact Refiners, and five Middle Grade Ordinary Artifact Refiners to help the Mu Family through this difficult time!"
"It's Miss Qin!"
"No wonder. I heard that the marriage between the Family Qin and the Mu Family was considered a pretense. It seems that this time it's true!"
"The Family Qin is so generous. There's no need to be afraid!"
"Not only that!"
Just as the crowd was discussing, a slightly childish voice sounded.
"It's Miao Xianyu!"
"Miao Xianyu? That's Miao Xianyu who broke through to Second Grade Alchemist at the age of sixteen? She's the granddaughter of Master Miao Qing, the number one Alchemy genius in Beiyun City. "
"That's her."
Looking at the crowd, Miao Xianyu smiled and said, "I, Miao Xianyu, represent the Sacred Pill Pavilion. I'm willing to help the Mu Family. Not only that, the Sacred Pill Pavilion will deploy five Second Grade Alchemists to help the Mu Family."
"Five Second Grade Alchemists. Oh my god!"
Hearing Miao Xianyu's words, the crowd exploded.
With five Second Grade Alchemists and Miao Xianyu herself, the Mu Family would not be short of Alchemists. Instead, the number of Second Grade Elixir Pills would increase greatly!
"I'll help too!"
At this moment, Qi Ming, who was wearing a long grey robe, walked out from the crowd.
"Qi Ming!"
"Who is he?"
"You idiot. He's also a prodigy who has just emerged. He's an Upper Grade Ordinary Artifact Refiner!"
"It can't be? Look at him. He's only 15 or 16 years old. Can he refine an Upper Grade Ordinary Artifact? "
Hearing the crowd's discussion, Qi Ming smiled shyly and lowered his head slowly.
All this time, he had been standing below the stage and looking up at those prodigies who were in the limelight. Today, when he came out, he was called a prodigy by others. He was not used to it.
"Hehe, of course I'll help with my master's matter!"
A chuckle resounded as Mo Yang stepped out of the crowd.
"Everyone, listen carefully. The Mo Family Trading Company is willing to cooperate fully with the Mu Family. In the future, if anyone needs to transport goods or do business with us, feel free to look for the Mo Family Trading Company. We'll give you a 50% discount!"
"The Mo Family Trading Company is involved?"
"The Mo Family Trading Company is one of the largest trading companies in Beiyun City. It's just that their status is not comparable to the Four Great Families. I didn't expect them to help the Mu Family!"
"This time, I think our East Market did not lose any Alchemists or Artifact Refiners. Instead, we gained more."
"You're so clumsy. This is called losing on the swings and gaining on the roundabouts!"
…
Seeing the appearance of Qin Mengyao, Miao Xianyu, and the others, Mu Linchen did not react for a moment.
What was this?
It was fine that the Family Qin had come to help the Mu Family. The Sacred Elixir Pavilion had never interfered in anything. But now, they were helping the Mu Family.
And the Mo Family Trading Company had also come to interfere. Could it be a conspiracy?
Just as Mu Linchen was thinking, four figures walked towards him. It was Qin Mengyao and the others.
Tidying up his clothes, Mu Linchen smiled slightly. Just as he was about to walk forward and speak, the four of them ignored him and walked towards the back.
"Mu Yun!"
"Mentor Mu!"
"Master!"
"Master!"
The four figures directly swept past Mu Linchen and walked towards the back. They did not care about Mu Linchen at all and all looked at Mu Yun.
"This kid …"
Seeing the four of them directly ignoring him and walking towards Mu Yun, Mu Linchen scolded jokingly.
"Mu Qiankun!"
"I'm here!"
Mu Linchen opened his mouth slightly and said, "I've been seriously ill for the past month. I believe many things have happened in Beiyun City, right?"
"Ah?" Mu Qiankun was stunned and said, "Reporting to Patriarch, nothing happened in Beiyun City. But something big happened in Beiyun Academy!"
"Oh?"
"Young Patriarch led his Beginner Class Five to fight with Diao Yadong's Advanced Class Three. They won three out of three battles. In the end, Diao Yadong did not admit defeat and challenged Young Patriarch to a one-on-one battle …"
One-on-one battle?
Hearing this, Mu Linchen raised his eyebrows. He knew Mu Yun's strength. She was only at the seventh stage of the condensed prime realm. How could she be a match for a genius mentor like Diao Yadong?
"Yes, a one-on-one battle!"
Mu Qiankun also had some doubts. "In the end, Young Patriarch defeated Diao Yadong in one move and was promoted to a senior mentor. Moreover, Patriarch, Young Patriarch is amazing. That Miao Xianyu was taught by Young Patriarch to become a second-grade alchemist. And that Qi Ming is an upper-grade ordinary blacksmith. Moyang too. He cultivated with Young Patriarch for a month and actually comprehended sword intent …"
Mu Qiankun became more and more excited as he spoke, completely forgetting Mu Linchen's identity as the Patriarch.
"Damn it, I never knew that Young Patriarch was so amazing!" Mu Qiankun could not help but curse in the end.
"Cough cough …"
"Patriarch, this subordinate has overstepped his boundaries!"
Seeing Qin Mengyao leaning on Mu Yun's shoulder while Miao Xianyu, Qi Ming, and Moyang looked at Mu Yun with admiration, Mu Linchen smiled slightly.
"How could his son be a good-for-nothing …"
Surrounded by a few people, Mu Yun's gaze fell on a corner of the crowd that had dispersed.
There, three figures were staring at her with bright eyes, emitting a sinister killing intent.
"Are they from the Diao Family?"
Seeing the three figures, Mu Yun had already made up her mind.
She would head to the Wind Leader Cave and find the Spirit Sealing Grass. She would refine the Spirit Sealing Pill and the Spirit Building Pill for Qi Ming's father so that he could become a mystic blacksmith again.
There was no mystic blacksmith in the entire Beiyun City at the moment.
If Qi Yufeng could recover his strength, as long as he was willing to help the Mu Family, then the Diao Family and the Wang Family's conspiracy would be useless.
At the same time, in the Diao Family of Beiyun City!
At this moment, in the Diao Family's hall, there were many figures. Mu Fengyuan and Mu Fengqing were sitting in the hall with dozens of blacksmiths, alchemists, and business experts from the Mu Family's market behind them.
At the head of the table was a middle-aged man of about forty years old. The man had a stocky build and a pair of round eyes. He was the Diao Family's patriarch, Diao Zhenyun!
"Haha … Two elders coming to my Diao Family is like adding wings to a tiger!"
Diao Zhenyun laughed heartily, his face was full of smiles.
Mu Fengyuan and Mu Fengqing were two experts of the Mu Family. Mu Fengyuan was at the third level of the Spiritual Aperture Realm, while Mu Fengqing was at the second level of the Spiritual Aperture Realm. They were well-known experts in Beiyun City.
Moreover, this time, the two of them had brought many alchemists and blacksmiths from the Mu Family's market.
