With Zhao Heng's demise, the world fell into a deathly silence. Apart from the terrified screams coming from the distant city, everyone in the Mu Family was stunned.
Even the Pale Face Scholar wore a look of astonishment, clearly not expecting Zhao Heng to be killed so easily.
Mu Qingling's move just now was so fast that he didn't even have time to react.
Most importantly, the aura emanating from Mu Qingling gave him a feeling of dread.
The Pale Face Scholar looked at Mu Qingling with a slightly solemn expression and said in a cold voice, "And who are you?"
Mu Qingling said calmly, "All you need to know is that it's the person who killed you."
Although this Pale Face Scholar was only at the Mid-stage Guiyuan Realm, she wasn't afraid at all. Unless the other party was Heavenly Prodigy, it was basically impossible for him to defeat her.
How could Heavenly Prodigy possibly cultivate Demonic Cultivation Art?
Those who cultivate Demonic Cultivation Art are usually people of average talent; only they would resort to Demonic Cultivation Art to take shortcuts and improve their Cultivation Level.
Upon hearing this, the Pale Face Scholar revealed a sinister smile:
"Yeah?"
"A mere cultivator at the Void Refinement Perfection stage dares to spout such nonsense in front of me? Does he really think he's someone important?"
Her Cultivation Level might be able to conceal it from others, but in front of him, who was at the Guiyuan Realm, there was no way for her to hide; there was absolutely no possibility of concealment.
Mu Qingling remained silent. She raised her hand and gripped the sword hilt, and a soaring Sword Intent instantly Mi Man, causing even the Blood Refining Great Array to tremble slightly, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
The Pale Face Scholar froze, his expression turning somewhat horrified.
What terrifying Sword Intent!
"Heaven Splitting!"
A flash of sword light, carrying with it a sky full of Sword Intent, hurtled towards the Pale Face Scholar at lightning speed.
This is the only Sword Technique she has ever practiced, and it is also the Sword Technique used in conjunction with the Sword Body.
This Sword Technique is called the Guiyuan Sword Art, and it has ten levels, each corresponding to one of the ten levels of Sword Intent.
She has mastered the first three levels: Heaven Splitting, Earth Slaying, Void Breaking.
She used her strongest move when she fought Su Ping Tian before.
Void Breaking!
Unfortunately, Su Ping Tian easily blocked it in the end, which is why she was so desperate at the time.
He easily blocked the strongest move of his kind; anyone would be shocked by that.
Suddenly, a huge Rift appeared in the sky, carrying a world-destroying Sword Intent, and hurtled towards the Pale Face Scholar.
What!
Sensing the terrifying Sword Intent, the Pale Face Scholar was immediately startled.
This Sword Intent actually made him feel a chill run down his spine. Could a Void Refinement Perfection really unleash such an attack?
The Pale Face Scholar exuded an extremely strong Blood Qi, like a rotting bedbug, making one want to vomit.
He raised his hand and grabbed, directly clashing with the Sword Intent.
Although the Pale Face Scholar's eyes were serious, his face wore a disdainful smile.
"For someone at the Void Refinement Perfection to unleash such an attack, that must be your limit, right? Although this strike is comparable to the Early Guiyuan Realm, it's still impossible for you to kill me."
Just as he was about to block the attack, the same Sword Qi slashed towards him again from afar.
How could that be!
The pale-faced scholar was filled with shock. Mu Qingling's attack was already very powerful, and she was only at the Void Refinement Perfection.
At this level, being able to unleash even one move is considered extremely extraordinary, so why could she still unleash two sword strikes?
On the other side.
Mu Qingling remained calm and composed as she unleashed her Heaven Splitting once more, the terrifying Sword Intent sweeping towards the Pale Face Scholar.
The combined attack of three attacks would be fatal even for an ordinary Early Guiyuan Realm.
For Mu Qingling now, she can easily use the Heaven Splitting multiple times; at her limit, she can unleash it one or two hundred times.
This is the power of the Sword Body. Although it is not particularly strong now, its strength will become more and more terrifying as time goes on. A casual attack can have the power to destroy the world.
Looking at the Pale Face Scholar struggling to hold on, Mu Qingling's expression turned somewhat bored.
After her battle with Su Ping Tian, although her strength did not increase, her combat power became even more terrifying. Dealing with Demonic cultivator like the Pale Face Scholar, who had just broken through to the Mid-stage Guiyuan Realm, was a complete massacre.
Heaven Splitting!
Mu Qingling raised her hand again and unleashed two terrifying Sword Intent, Void Breaking as she attacked the Pale Face Scholar.
The five Sword Intent, each capable of slaying someone in the Early Guiyuan Realm, combined and instantly annihilated the Pale Face Scholar in a sea of Sword Intent.
"My lord, spare my life! I am willing to Submission to you!"
The Pale Face Scholar was filled with fear as he begged Mu Qingling for mercy. He never expected that this woman's strength would be so terrifying.
The Void Refinement Perfection!
What nonsense about Void Refinement Perfection!
With such strength, she was at least at the Late Guiyuan Stage. He felt that Mu Qingling Certain be hiding her Cultivation Level.
Although he had broken through to the Mid-stage Guiyuan Realm, his actual combat strength was slightly weaker, as Demonic cultivator generally had slightly lower combat strength.
After all, Cultivation Level gained through Demonic Cultivation Art are certainly not as good as those achieved through self-cultivation.
Upon hearing the Pale Face Scholar's words, Mu Qingling showed no mercy. She had no need for such lackeys of Demonic Path cultivators.
In an instant.
The terrifying Sword Intent enveloped the Pale Face Scholar, disintegrating him into dust and causing him to vanish into the world.
This... how is this possible!
The other two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Gu Ling Sect Integration Stage stared wide-eyed, completely unable to accept what they were seeing.
The Sect Master, who had just broken through to the Mid-stage Guiyuan Realm, actually died like that?
Run!
The two immediately Void Breaking to leave, but before they could even make a move, they were instantly killed by two Sword Qi.
The four cultivators from the Gu Ling Sect were killed almost instantly. The Mu Family members, who were originally filled with fear, were now only stunned.
Mu Qingling, so powerful!?
He directly killed the Pale Face Scholar at the Guiyuan Realm. Such terrifying strength, and he only improved it in less than ten years?
Mu Qingling, however, killed the four people with ease, as if she had done something insignificant.
For her, this level of combat no longer aroused any fighting spirit.
Now.
Without the support of the Pale Face Scholar and his companions, the Array Formation in Jinling City collapsed.
The initially apprehensive crowd suddenly showed expressions of astonishment.
What happened?
Although they didn't know why the Blood Refining Great Array had disappeared, they still didn't forget to run away. Everyone in Jinling City frantically fled towards the outskirts of the city.
Within the Mu Family.
Mu Hua reacted extremely quickly, disappearing from his spot in a flash and blocking Mu Xin's path as he was secretly trying to escape.
"Family Head, where are you going?"
Mu Hua drew a Longsword, his voice filled with coldness and killing intent.
Mu Xin's violation of Clan Rules was one thing, but his connection with the Demonic Cult was an unforgivable crime, so Mu Hua would never let him go.
Mu Xin hurriedly retreated, his face filled with panic. "Mu Hua... no, Family Head, I know I was wrong, please spare my life."
"I'm still your cousin. If all else fails, you can cripple my Cultivation Level."
Mu Hua sneered, raised his hand and swung it out, directly slicing through Mu Xin's lower abdomen, dantian.
In an instant, Mu Xin's aura began to decline rapidly until he became a mortal again.
Just when Mu Xin thought Mu Hua would spare him, Mu Hua continued, "Guards, arrest this traitor who betrayed his Lineage and Human Race cultivators. He will be publicly displayed in Three Days."
What!
Mu Xin's face was filled with fear as he pleaded repeatedly, "Family Head, spare my life! I already know I was wrong."
Immediately, someone from the Mu Family stepped forward and grabbed him tightly, then dragged him towards the Mu Family's Dungeon.
Others who were initially in shock rushed forward to restrain him upon seeing this.
These people were almost all those who had followed Mu Xin in the past, and they all wished they could kill Mu Xin to prove their innocence.
The collusion with the Gu Ling Sect was spearheaded by Mu Xin, with only Mu Li Mu Geng involved; the others were unaware of this situation.
Therefore, they were also extremely surprised and flustered.
Damn it.
No matter how much trouble the Mu Family causes, as long as they adhere to their bottom line and don't harm their own clansmen, they won't lose their lives no matter how tragic their final fate may be.
At most, they'll just be suppressed.
After all, the Mu Family wasn't a particularly large Lineage, and members of the same clan would see each other frequently, making it difficult for them to fight amongst themselves.
However, Mu Hua's collusion with the Demonic Cult Sect is a completely different matter.
If Mu Xin continues to be the Family Head, and this matter gets out in the Future, the entire Mu Family will be doomed. They will become a target of hatred and condemnation in the Eastern Domain.
Some cultivators who are dedicated to eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path will kill him without hesitation.
Many of those who followed Mu Xin back then are now feeling a chill run down their spines and are filled with lingering fear.
