"Young Master, Mu Haiyun has announced that the Martial Arts Tournament will be held tomorrow. Because of the incident at the banquet, heroes from every corner are planning to leave the Azure Cloud Fortress early. To make amends, the winner of this tournament will receive the Kirin Blood."
"Of course, those who place in the top ten will also receive rare treasures."
As Yang Qing listened to Bu Er's report, a faint smile touched his lips. "It seems Mu Haiyun can't wait any longer."
Jiang Zhizhou chimed in. "Indeed. Mu Hailin's whereabouts are unknown, and the chaos at the banquet disrupted their original plan to use the Heavenly Fragrance Poison. On top of that, Senior Mystic Physician intervened."
Every one of these developments worked against Mu Haiyun.
If he did not act soon, the situation would likely spiral even further out of control.
"We cannot let the Kirin Blood fall into anyone else's hands," Yang Qing said. "Discuss this with Great Hero Pei and the others, and secure the Kirin Blood."
Jiang Zhizhou's expression hardened. "If the Mu Family truly has that ambition in mind, the people of the world will no longer acknowledge them as their leaders."
"The Mu Family's century-old foundations may well be destroyed in a single day."
"Since ancient times, wealth and glory have been sought amid danger," Yang Qing said. "The Mu Family has stood at the pinnacle of power for many years. If they have a chance to climb one step higher, naturally, they will want to try."
How many people in this world could truly see through the lure of power and influence?
"But have you considered why the Mu Family chose this moment to reveal the Kirin Blood to the world?" Jiang Zhizhou asked, looking at Yang Qing again.
