Mu Rong's expression suddenly changed, and a playful smile appeared on his face.
"It's nothing. If the City Lord doesn't agree, it won't be easy. A mere mortal, how can he awaken the cultivation techniques of the Nine Heavens Divine King? And that boundless demonic energy."
He spoke word by word.
"City Lord, you are guessing again. Why is my cultivation technique the Ice Phoenix?"
Before Mu Rong could reply, Mu Rong said to himself.
"That's because. My mother is the Divine Phoenix."
"Divine Phoenix?"
Mu Rong's eyes widened, as if he had thought of something, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
"Perhaps you don't know what the Divine Phoenix represents, but you must know, the Divine Dragon lineage!"
"Roar!"
A dragon's roar echoed, resonating within Mu Rong's chest.
The Divine Dragon lineage! The Heavenly Demon Emperor's lineage! They were both extremely noble, and they would not tolerate any other lineage.
A mere mortal, how could he know about the affairs of the Divine Dragon lineage!
Mu Rong suppressed the shock in his heart and sneered.
"Even if you are from that lineage, what can you do?
Aren't you just hiding in Ju Yuan City, becoming a mere craftsman.
Or perhaps, all of this is just a trap you set, wanting to deceive me, huh?
Too naive.
That's good. The name Mu Qing is quite useful. Anything can be used.
"City Lord, you are too talkative."
Mu Rong's expression changed again.
"My mother, together with the Mu Qing lineage, the current City Lord Mu Qing, was called Mu Yao."
"Mother Yao is the Divine Phoenix. She entrusted me to return to the Divine Phoenix City."
"Moreover, for so many years, my intuition has been that Mu Qing is looking for his sister in the mortal world. This matter, I believe City Lord Mu has also inquired about."
"It's nothing. I have my own plans and don't want to bother you for now."
Mu Rong glared at Mu Changbo, spitting out his last curse.
"But... the Mu family's patriarch can be bribed. I am in the Mu family, and my cultivation base is the Mu family's. I can't find any trace of the enemy."
Mu Changbo fell silent at the bottom of the pit.
The name Mu Family was something only the most cunning and treacherous traitors would know.
He could pinpoint the location of the Mu Family's ancestral land, in the Heavenly Abyss.
Moreover, this person, Mu Family, had been wandering the vast wilderness for many years, as if he was looking for something. This matter was only known to the great powers of the upper-class families.
If he didn't care about the six-year-old child, then the previous Mu Family's trust was in vain. That kind of maturity beyond his years... was something that couldn't be faked.
At that moment, he really had some courage to bribe him.
That was the family that was known for its ruthless and poisonous methods.
"Hmph! Even if you are a person from the Mu Family, so what!"
Mu Changbo roared indignantly.
"If Mu Family can't find you, then the old man has lived in vain. Doing such a thing, I'm afraid I won't know!"
"Hahaha, you can call me by my name."
Mu Rong retracted his hand.
"If you have the ability, you think I'm afraid? How dare you ask someone to come to your city lord's mansion to negotiate with you?"
At that moment, Mu Changbo fell into a dilemma.
Annoyed, he didn't care.
He didn't care about the child, and he didn't dare to.
Mu Rong's plan was psychological warfare.
The goal was to lure the enemy out to take the bait.
The name Mu Family was known to the Mu Family's ancestors and descendants.
The Mu Family's ancestral hall was huge, and it was impossible for the ancestors to have not grown up to be great heroes.
But that old poisonous fellow, Mu Family, was just a short and unreasonable person!
Moreover, this old poisonous fellow was indeed in the vast wilderness, and it was not impossible that he was looking for herbs to resolve the Mu Family's ancestral curse.
Mu Rong understood his psychological state, and he was digging his own grave.
"You didn't dare to cripple me, so you're not even willing to take out the entire Mu family's foundation? Then I'll just have to take the initiative to ask for it."
Mu Rong stood up with a smile, looking smug.
"You're truly an old fogey who's set in his ways!"
Tang Changhe's chest heaved, but he was still calm. A hint of anger appeared on his face.
"No matter. Even if what you said is true, ten realms of cultivation is still not enough!"
"Since you're so arrogant, then you deserve to be beaten."
Mu Rong skillfully dodged and said:
"Patriarch, you can still play!"
Tang Changhe felt like he was hitting cotton, always being dodged by this brat. He was getting more and more annoyed.
"At most five realms, that's the limit for an old man!"
"Okay, deal!"
Mu Rong happily agreed. He didn't bother to pretend.
"We have an agreement. No matter what, Patriarch Tang will send me a cultivation artifact, and I won't be too greedy."
Tang Changhe almost spat out blood. The good impression he had just built up was completely shattered by Mu Rong's words.
He coughed and said:
"No, you brat... it should be you who deserves to be beaten!"
"Who are you calling a brat?"
Mu Rong squinted his eyes:
"Patriarch Tang, you yourself said five realms of cultivation. I'm not interested, so it's not suitable."
"If you can call Mu Rong my little brother, then I can also not care about my little brother's face!"
"You..."
Tang Changhe was so angry he couldn't speak.
This brat! He's always been so shameless. I wonder if this arrogant brat can be as good as a peerless genius. Maybe it's a great fortune.
"Mu Rong has a special physique. I am the Mu family's descendant, and I am also a genius. I am not afraid."
"Good! Today, I will consider myself an old man who has fulfilled his wish."
Mu Changhong rubbed his hands and ordered his subordinates to prepare five pieces of the Heaven-Breaking Divine Stone and a set of Mu family's Divine Artifacts.
Mu Rong looked at the Divine Artifacts and said, "Can you tell me why you are in the Mu family's territory, and what is your purpose?"
Mu Rong accepted the storage ring and put it away, then sternly asked, "You are the Mu family's master, this is a private matter, and you are not allowed to report it."
Mu Changhong was furious but didn't say anything more.
Mu Rong was indeed a genius. Half of the Mu family's members were pursued and killed. Mu Rong disguised himself and wanted to repay his parents.
In a short while, his subordinates brought a set of armor and a detailed list of divine artifacts.
Mu Rong took the armor and suppressed the excitement in his heart, pouring his divine power into it.
A space of five square meters appeared in the sensing area, and a piece of divine stone with a mysterious pattern lay on the armor.
Five pieces of Heaven-Breaking Divine Stone, all here.
Since the divine stone was here, Mu Rong stood up and was about to leave.
"Young master, you don't need to use the armor when you are in the palace, just fly away."
Mu Changhong stood up and said.
"No need, the palace has important matters."
Mu Rong smiled and walked away, quickly leaving the city lord's mansion.
Watching his receding back, Mu Changhong sighed and rebuked his foolish son, saying, "From now on, make friends with others, and don't offend the Mu family."
"Even if the background you have today is fake, as long as you have courage and strive hard, you will be considered a companion. Not to mention, young master is truly the Mu family's genius."
"As long as the prince is here, I can even become the Demon Emperor or the Demon God!"
