"This is... Void Refinement stage expert!"
Upon sensing this powerful aura, the members of the Mu Family all changed their expressions drastically. No one had expected that their Mu Family's affairs would involve a Void Refinement stage expert.
"Who is this 'money tree' he was talking about? Could it be that someone in my Mu Family has a connection with such a powerful figure?"
"Judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to know Mu Qingling..."
"Are you stupid? This is clearly a backup plan by Family Head Mu Xin. I never imagined the Family Head had such connections. Mu Qingling is finished."
"Something's not right. This person's aura doesn't seem righteous. How can he be on par with the Demonic Cult?"
"This is a Demonic Cult! And it's... the Gu Ling Sect!"
"Ah? The Demonic Cult? The Family Head is actually connected to the Demonic Cult?"
Within the Mu Family, some people stared at the Jade Pendant at Zhao Heng's waist with fear in their eyes.
Since the Gu Ling Sect is called a sect, it naturally has its own token representing its identity. Their token is a jade Jade Pendant made of bone, with the words "Gu Ling" engraved in the center.
There are also many elderly people in the Mu Family who have some understanding of the Gu Ling Sect.
Demonic Cult!
These words immediately caused a huge uproar.
If it were an ordinary Demonic Cult, that would be one thing, but the Gu Ling Sect is extremely powerful, and it is feared by all in the Cangyun Empire.
Seven years ago, the Gu Ling Sect attacked the Imperial City of the Minghu Empire, refining all the living beings inside into Pill, and finally escaped before the Righteous Cultivators arrived.
In recent years, many powerful Demon Hunters have gathered in the surrounding empires, so the Gu Ling Sect has disappeared for a long time.
Who would have thought that this appearance would be related to the Mu Family?
Some Mu Family who had originally been staunch followers of Mu Xin changed their expressions drastically and became extremely ugly after seeing that Mu Xin was colluding with the Demonic Cult.
No matter how much trouble the Mu Family causes, they cannot involve outsiders, especially the Demonic Cult.
If word gets out, how will the Mu Family survive in the entire Eastern Domain?
Now.
Mu Hua stared wide-eyed at Mu Xin in disbelief, and roared, "Mu Xin, how dare you collude with the Demonic Path!"
Although this is not the ordinary world, the concept that good and evil cannot coexist still exists.
In the past, the Eastern Domain did not have such strong ideas because everyone's strength was not strong at that time. So as long as the Demonic Cult did not come to attack them, they usually would not deliberately besiege them.
However, the Eastern Domain is now thriving, and many cultivators with nothing to do have even formed Demon-Hunting Teams to specifically hunt down Demonic Path cultivators.
Once someone becomes involved with Demonic Cult, they will inevitably become someone everyone hates and condemns.
Even among this Demon Hunting team, there was the Su Family, the overlord of the Eastern Domain.
Mu Xin completely ignored Mu Hua's roar. He breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Zhao Heng had arrived, otherwise he would have been dead today.
However, he didn't say anything, after all, he still needed to continue to associate with the righteous.
Moreover, his value lies in hiding among cultivators and capturing people to refine Pill for the Gu Ling Sect. If his identity were to completely align with the Demonic Cult, then his value to the Gu Ling Sect would be negligible.
Because the Gu Ling Sect also has very little need for a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.
He might even be refined into Pill.
Since he wiped out the entire Mu Family today, no one knows that he has any connection with the Gu Ling Sect.
Mu Xin's face was contorted with rage and madness; having reached this point, his mind had been completely corrupted by demons.
Mu Qingling coldly looked up at the sky. "Demonic cultivator?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the void around Zhao Heng trembled again, as if it contained some terrifying existence.
The next moment.
Three figures walked out from the middle. The one in the lead was a young man with an extremely bewitching face, somewhat pale, and his aura was terrifying to the extreme.
Guiyuan Realm!
The two people beside him were also incredibly powerful, one in the Late Integration Stage and the other in the Body Integration Realm Perfection.
Adding Zhao Heng at the beginning, the weakest of the four is at the Late Void Refinement Stage. Such a lineup is almost enough to wipe out the entire Cangyun Empire.
The Mu Family was instantly gripped by panic.
"This is... Pale Face Scholar!"
Someone pointed at the pale-faced youth, their voice filled with fear, their whole body trembling as if they had witnessed some great horror.
Pale Face Scholar!
Immediately, someone's eyes widened. This person was the Sect Master of the Gu Ling Sect, a figure feared throughout the Cangyun Empire's surrounding area.
The mastermind behind the destruction of the Minghu Empire was none other than this Pale Face Scholar.
"Run!"
"The Gu Ling Sect has reappeared. Will our Cangyun Empire suffer this time?"
The Mu Family was thrown into chaos, and many people hurriedly fled towards the outskirts of the city.
Although some people in Jinling City sensed this terrifying aura, they did not know what had happened, so they just looked in the direction of the Mu Family with suspicion and uncertainty.
The Pale Face Scholar lowered his head slightly, glanced at Mu Qingling, and then ignored her. He turned his gaze back to the Jinling City, and said in a cold voice:
"We've been inactive for a long time, constantly hunted down and forced to flee. Now that I've broken through to the Mid-stage Guiyuan Realm, it's time to declare the return of my Gu Ling Sect."
"Let's sacrifice the entire Jinling City."
As the Pale Face Scholar's voice rang out, Zhao Heng and his two companions, all wearing sinister smiles, cupped their hands and said, "Yes, sir!"
After saying that, the three of them raised their hands and waved them, and a huge blood-red compass floated into the sky, directly covering the entire Jinling City.
In an instant, a powerful Refining Power slowly descended. This Refining Power specifically absorbed Essence Blood, and countless Essence Blood from the entire Jinling City began to float in the air, slowly converging towards the center of the Array Formation.
"What's going on?!"
Some people watched all this in horror, their blood gushing out uncontrollably.
"This is... the Blood Refining Great Array, the Gu Ling Sect's Array Formation. They've appeared again."
"The Blood Refining Great Array!? It's over, everything is over! I heard that this Array Formation refined the entire Imperial City of the Minghu Empire, and there were even Integration Stage cultivators inside."
"What should I do? I don't want to die!"
Some people in Jinling City recognized the great formation, and cries of sobs and fear Mi Man the city as they ran around like headless flies.
The entire Jinling City was plunged into boundless panic.
Unfortunately, the entire city is enveloped by Array Formation, and one would need at least the strength of the Integration Stage to break out.
Now.
Above the Mu Family compound, Zhao Heng looked down at Mu Qingling, a contemptuous smile on his lips:
"If I'm not mistaken, you should also be in the Void Refinement stage, right?"
Although Mu Qingling 'Mu Qingling cultivation level was somewhat concealed, it wasn't very well hidden, so he was still able to sense her aura.
It's definitely the Void Refinement stage!
However, this aura was relatively weak, suggesting that he was only at the Early Void Refinement Stage Cultivation Level.
Void Refinement stage!
Although many members of the Mu Family fled, a small number remained. Upon hearing this, they were all shocked.
Mu Xin, in particular, found it hard to believe.
Mu Qingling is actually at the Void Refinement stage!
In less than ten years, she was able to leap from the Nascent Soul Stage to the Nascent Soul Realm Transformation stage and directly reach the Void Refinement stage.
How is that possible!
Just then, Mu Qingling slightly raised her head and looked at Zhao Heng, her eyes filled with calmness.
"You're too weak, it's boring."
Zhao Heng narrowed his eyes, just about to speak, when a Sword Light suddenly attacked from afar.
"Puff!"
A round head fell straight down from the sky, and Zhao Heng's face was full of confusion and bewilderment.
What happened?
Mu Qingling looked at the Pale Face Scholar again, her aura gradually rising, transforming from a somewhat weak aura at the beginning to an extremely sharp one.
She herself seemed like a sharp sword, shooting straight into the sky.
"You're next."
