Chapter 1079: Mu Feiyang

Who would have thought that the next words from the other party would leave him completely frozen in place, his blood even seeming to flow backward.

"Clan Chief, Old Ancestor Liufang… is dead!"

Mu Qing's head buzzed as he abruptly stood up from his couch, asking in disbelief, "What did you say?"

The clansman swallowed hard and could only steel himself to repeat it again: "Old Ancestor Liufang's Longevity Lamp has gone out, her Divine Soul is gone, and her true spirit is likely lost somewhere unknown!"

Mu Qing instantly felt dazed and disoriented, muttering to himself, "How is this possible? Did I really cause the Old Ancestor's death with my words?"

The next moment, his face suddenly twisted into a ferocious expression as he spat out each word: "Who did it?"

The clansman was taken aback, thinking to himself how would he know, and shook his head.

Mu Qing also realized that this clansman was only guarding the Longevity Lamps and at most knew the time of death, but couldn't possibly know the cause.

"The Old Ancestor previously set out personally for the Nether Corpse Clan. Could it be…"

Mu Qing's eyes widened suddenly, finding it hard to believe.

They had no grudges or entanglements with the Nether Corpse Clan. In fact, they now even shared a great secret and were people standing on the same boat. How could she have been killed?

Moreover, with Mu Liufang's strength, even if all the Immortal Realm experts of the Nether Corpse Clan were to attack together, they might not necessarily be able to destroy Mu Liufang's form and spirit completely. Aren't they afraid of the Old Ancestor self-destructing her inner world?

Under normal circumstances, Immortal Realm experts would not easily engage in a fight to the death unless there were irreconcilable grudges.

Because the consequences of self-destructing one's inner world are too severe; even experts of the same Realm would find it impossible to escape.

"Regardless of whether it was the Nether Corpse Clan's doing or not, this matter is of great importance. I must immediately inform Old Ancestor Feiyang!"

Not daring to delay, Mu Qing immediately flashed out of the room and hurried toward the location of another Old Ancestor.

Before long, Mu Qing appeared outside a quiet room and knocked on the Formation.

"What are you here for?"

Inside the quiet room, sitting cross-legged was a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and large eyes, his eyebrows flying upward. He wore only a sleeveless vest, with red beard and red hair. This person was none other than another Old Ancestor of the Magic Hou Clan, named Mu Feiyang.

At this moment, he was looking at Mu Qing with an unfriendly expression, his voice rumbling like thunder echoing in the quiet room.

He had always been very dissatisfied with Mu Qing as the Clan Chief, for no other reason than that Mu Qing's effeminate personality simply disgusted him.

If it weren't for Mu Qing's outstanding cultivation level talent and Mu Liufang's strong advocacy, Mu Feiyang would never have agreed to let Mu Qing take this position under any circumstances.

Mu Qing was clearly somewhat afraid of this Old Ancestor, bowing his head and cupping his hands as he said, "Old Ancestor Feiyang, something terrible has happened! Old Ancestor Liufang's Longevity Lamp has gone out!"

"What did you say?"

Mu Feiyang's eyes widened violently as billowing Devilish Qi instantly surged from within his body.

Although he didn't get along with that old hag Mu Liufang, they were still of the same clan and both important pillars of the Magic Hou Clan. How could she be dead now?

"Who did it?"

He asked the same question Mu Qing had asked earlier.

Mu Qing quickly replied, "Old Ancestor Liufang went to the Nether Corpse Clan not long ago, and then her Longevity Lamp went out. Now there are only two possibilities: either it was done by the Nether Corpse Clan, or she was ambushed by others on her way to or from the Nether Corpse Clan!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Feiyang was momentarily stunned, frowning as he said, "What was that old hag going to the Nether Corpse Clan for? Could it be that those dead-faced ones also have someone she likes? That old hag's tastes are getting heavier and heavier, aren't they?"

One of the important reasons he didn't get along with Mu Liufang was her peculiar preferences.

And precisely because Mu Liufang's behavior had become increasingly unrestrained, casting various shameful shadows over the Magic Hou Clan, he had gradually stopped wanting to manage clan affairs, focusing solely on Cultivating.

So he wasn't aware of the recent events.

"It's like this. Some time ago, when I attended the wedding of the Heavenly Maiden Clan, I accidentally discovered an enormous secret…"

Mu Qing explained the whole story in detail.

As he listened to Mu Qing's account, Mu Feiyang's eyes gradually widened, revealing an expression of disbelief.

"Can you be certain that Qin Changqing possesses such a Heaven-Defying ability?"

Having Cultivated for so many years, this was the first time Mu Feiyang had heard of such a bizarre matter.

If such a remarkable person truly existed, the Myriad Realms would likely have long been dominated by various Prodigies. Why would there still be bloody conflicts over the emergence of some Genius?

In fact, within the Myriad Realms, most forces existed in the form of Sects because there were too few Geniuses in the world, making it extremely difficult to rely on one's own race to nurture and grow.

Worlds like the Qing Tian Great World, where multiple racial forces coexisted, were ultimately few in number. Although their cohesion was high, their upper limits were limited.

Without Qin Changqing, even after another ten thousand years, the Qing Tian Great World might not necessarily produce an eternal giant.

"It's not certain yet."

Mu Qing replied honestly, "But according to the agreement, this time Old Ancestor Liufang went to the Nether Corpse Clan precisely to bring Qin Changqing back for verification."

Mu Feiyang let out a mocking snort from his nostrils: "Based on your description, Qin Changqing is extremely handsome and has an extraordinary demeanor. That old hag personally going there was probably not just to verify his ability, was it?"

Mu Qing instinctively wanted to cover his face and chuckle lightly but quickly realized where he was and hurriedly lowered his raised hand: "Old Ancestor Feiyang is wise!"

"Stop flattering me!"

Mu Feiyang shouted, "According to your account, Mu Liufang is now dead. Those capable of killing her without causing too much commotion are limited to just a few forces. And among those with conflicting interests with us, it's either the Nether Corpse Clan or the Heavenly Maiden Clan!"

Mu Qing nodded: "That's what I think too. Either the Nether Corpse Clan confirmed Qin Changqing's ability and wanted to keep him for themselves, so they didn't hesitate to offend Old Ancestor Liufang to forcibly detain her! Or the news of us abducting Qin Changqing earlier was leaked and Feng Miaozhen found out, which is why she targeted the Old Ancestor!"

Mu Feiyang narrowed his eyes: "That woman Feng Miaozhen is indeed domineering, one of the few women I actually admire. But if she really did it, I won't let her off this time either!"

No matter how恶劣 Mu Liufang's personality and preferences were, she was still a member of the Magic Hou Clan. How could others casually slaughter her!

"Let's go, first to ask the Nether Corpse Clan!"

Mu Feiyang suddenly stood up, his red hair flowing as an overwhelming Devilish Qi surged forth, his anger soaring to the heavens: "No matter who it is, anyone who dares to kill a member of my Magic Hou Clan will have to pay the price!"

"Yes!"

Mu Qing felt a surge of joy in his heart.

Mu Feiyang had not involved himself in clan affairs for many years, but in truth, his cultivation level was not much inferior to Feng Miaozhen's.

The two quickly transformed into streams of light and rushed out of the quiet room. Just as they opened the clan's Great Array to leave, they suddenly sensed something and sharply turned their heads to look into the distance.

In the far distance, eight figures rapidly streaked across the sky toward them, arriving in the blink of an eye!
