Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 311: Chapter 311 We Can Collaborate with He Qian

Just as everyone was speculating about Yang Xiaotian’s identity, a cheerful voice rang out.

In the distance, a group of people approached.

The newcomers were none other than the masters from the He Family, which had always been at odds with the Mu Family.

He Qian, the head of the He Family, said to Mu Haodong with a smile, “Brother Mu, what a coincidence.” Then he continued with a laugh, “Brother Mu travels light, I see. But aren’t you worried about traveling with just a few people and bringing along two youngsters? Aren’t you afraid of running into trouble on the way?”

Mu Haodong, looking at the smiling He Qian, didn’t bother with false pleasantries and said coldly, “In my life, I’ve done nothing to weigh on my conscience, so I don’t fear ghosts knocking on my door at midnight. Unlike you, having done so many regrettable deeds, you need to take a large group of masters with you wherever you go.”

He Qian’s face flickered but he didn’t lose his temper. He chuckled and turned his gaze to Mu Yunchun, saying with a smile, “My dear niece grows more radiant each day.” Then he added, laughing, “No wonder my third son talks about my niece so eagerly every day.”

At that moment, He Jun, who stood behind He Qian, stepped forward with a smile and greeted Mu Yunchun with a fist and palm salute, “He Jun pays his respects to Sister Mu.”

He Jun was He Qian’s third son.

He was also the brother of He Zhen from the Celestial Burial Academy.

Mu Yunchun, looking at the smiling He Jun, did not hide the disgust on her face, “Who is your sister?”

He Qian half-joked, “My dear niece is naturally beautiful. Just today, my third son told me, if he met my niece, to ask for her hand in marriage on his behalf.”

Mu Haodong’s expression changed, and he said coldly, “He Qian, even if my daughter were to marry someone, she would never marry into the He Family. If you continue talking nonsense, I will deal with you right here and now!”

Having said this, he led Mu Yunchun and Yang Xiaotian into Eastern Desolate City.

He Qian watched the retreating figures of Mu Haodong and his group with a sneer.

“Father, I must marry Mu Yunchun,” said He Jun, his eyes following Mu Yunchun’s bouncing form, swallowing saliva hungrily.

He Qian glanced at his third son and frowned, “Once we’ve annihilated the Mu Family, Mu Yunchun will inevitably be yours.” Then he laughed coldly, “All the women of the Mu Family will belong to our He Family then.”

With that, he led the members of the He Family into Eastern Desolate City as well.

Upon the arrival of Mu Haodong and He Qian, the City Lord’s Mansion of Eastern Desolate City immediately sent people to warmly receive them, and then arranged top-tier palaces for Yang Xiaotian and the others.

Not long after Yang Xiaotian and his group had arrived, Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue also arrived.

The arrival of Buddha Son and Heavenly Dragon Holy Goddess in tandem had likewise shaken Eastern Desolate City.

Masters from every family and clan in Eastern Desolate City went out to welcome them.

In certain respects, Buddha Son Tang Huan and Heavenly Dragon Goddess Yao Qingxue held more influence than the older generation of Mu Haodong and He Qian.

Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue would receive feverish adoration wherever they went in Buddha Source, any city, any country, any sect, something that might not be the case for Mu Haodong and He Qian.

The arrival of Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue brought great surprise and joy to Deng Chuan, the City Lord of Eastern Desolate City.

Since the banquet was to be held tomorrow, Deng Chuan also arranged residences for Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue.

Night fell.

As Tang Huan was studying a manuscript from the Thousand Buddha Medicine God, one of his subordinates came to report, “My lord, I have just received news that the Mu family head also brought that young man to Eastern Desolate City today.”

“Oh!” Tang Huan was surprised, “That young boy has also come?”

“Yes, in addition to the young boy, there’s also Mu Yunchun, and two elders in the tenth level of the Saint Realm,” his subordinate said.

Tang Huan was puzzled, “Mu Haodong is actually bringing that young boy here.”

Clearly, it was unexpected to him.

Generally speaking, for an occasion like this, Mu Haodong would bring only his closest people.

But that young boy was definitely not one of the Mu Family’s own.

These past few days, he had his subordinates investigate the young boy, only knowing that he was brought back by Mu Yunchun. Mu Yunchun was extremely close to him, even excessively so.

“Young master, this is a good opportunity,” his subordinate said. “Mu Haodong doesn’t have many experts with him this time; it’s a good opportunity for us to make our move. We can send someone to snatch the True God Flying Ship and Innate Fine Iron from them on their way back.”

“Moreover, the He Family’s patriarch, He Qian, is also here.”

“It’s possible that He Qian will also make a move against Mu Haodong on his way back!”

“We could collaborate with He Qian.”

“He kills Mu Haodong, and we snatch the True God Flying Ship and Innate Fine Iron.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Huan was tempted.

After all, the damaged True God Flying Ship and Innate Fine Iron would be of great use to him.

He had even collected all the materials needed to repair the True God Flying Ship; he had to get that ship.

“Moreover, even if the Mu Family finds out later, they wouldn’t dare blame the young master. It’s He Qian who will have killed Mu Haodong, and we’re only dealing with that kid,” his subordinate added.

Tang Huan pondered and said, “Continue investigating the identity of that young boy.”

“Yes, young master.”

As Tang Huan’s subordinates continued their investigation on Yang Xiaotian’s identity, Mu Yunchun came over to Xiaotian’s quarter and dragged Xiaotian out for a stroll through Eastern Desolate City.

Eastern Desolate City, the largest city in the Eastern Desolate, was extraordinarily bustling. Even at night, it was brightly lit, like stars, with an incessant stream of people.

However, as Mu Yunchun and Xiaotian were wandering leisurely, they saw He Jun, accompanied by several experts of the He Family, walking towards them.

Upon reaching Mu Yunchun, He Jun said with a smile, “Sister Mu, what a coincidence. Are you out for a casual stroll as well?”

Obviously, this was no coincidence, but rather He Jun had intentionally come out to run into Mu Yunchun.

He Jun didn’t hide the fire in his eyes, staring intently at Mu Yunchun’s generous and ample front.

Mu Yunchun glared back and snapped, “He Jun, who’s your sister? If you keep pestering me, don’t blame me for not being polite!” After saying that, she pulled Xiaotian away to leave.

He Jun, scolded by Mu Yunchun, saw how intimately she was pulling Xiaotian and burst into rage. He suddenly rushed forward, blocking Xiaotian’s path: “Kid, Mu Yunchun is my woman. If you dare come close to her again, believe it or not, I’ll chop off your hands!”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xiaotian punched out directly.

Thump!

It was still the Summit Mastery-level Asura Force.

Landing on the opponent’s belly.

He Jun was blasted into the air, thrown hundreds of meters away, then rolled continuously along the ground, vomiting blood as he went.

“What did you just say? Say it again,” Xiaotian said indifferently, looking at the other party.

He Jun felt as if the punch had blasted out all his guts, leaving him speechless.

His few subordinates, seeing this, became furiously enraged and charged at Xiaotian together, but as soon as they got near him, they were blocked by an invisible force.

Their attacks upon the invisible force not only failed to break through but also caused them to be violently thrown back, tumbling away farther than He Jun.

The one who had intervened was none other than the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor.

The Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor looked at them coldly.

He Jun and his subordinates all looked at the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor with astonishment.

You see, He Jun’s subordinates were all at the tenth level of the Emperor Realm. To send them flying with one blow would mean that the attacker was at the Saint Realm.

Xiaotian, accompanied by Mu Yunchun, walked away. As they passed by He Jun, he was so scared that he kept shuffling his bottom.

Only after the figures of Xiaotian and the others had disappeared into the crowd did He Jun dare to get up, tremblingly.
