Chapter 274 Zhenyuan Gate
In front of the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasure, the state of the Yuan Sect disciples also attracted some inquiring eyes. The Yuan Sect, which has always been strong and transcendent, actually looked a little embarrassed, which was quite a rare situation.
Except for some forces that only follow the lead of Yuanmen, most people are happy to see this. They also feel a little gloating when they see the high and mighty Yuanmen in trouble.
Of course, everyone was just secretly happy and did not express this idea openly. After all, the Yuan Sect had been strong in the Eastern Xuan Region for a long time and had accumulated great prestige, so ordinary people did not dare to provoke it in the slightest.
More importantly, they were still counting on Yuanmen to open the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasure, so they couldn't offend them at this time.
Just as everyone was thinking about their own things, a peerless figure stepped out and walked towards the direction of Yuanmen with an expressionless face.
Everyone who witnessed this scene showed surprise on their faces, and some commotion began to occur among the crowd.
Whether it is the Yuan Sect or the monster from the Qianhai Sect, they are the focus of attention of all forces. Looking at the current situation, it seems that something is about to happen between the two, which makes the atmosphere in front of the Fentian Ancient Storage become subtle.
In the disciple area of Jiutian Taiqing Palace, everyone saw Mu Zi's actions and seemed to be thinking about something.
Wu Qun's eyes moved slightly, he glanced in the direction of Dao Zong, and then said:
"There were quite a few casualties among the Yuan Sect disciples. I thought there was a conflict with Dao Sect. Now it seems that the real culprit is someone else."
"The senior sister from Qianhai Sect has gone to find someone from Yuan Sect. I don't know how this will end."
This statement aroused the curiosity of some disciples, and they immediately started discussing it.
"There shouldn't be a conflict. After all, opening the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasure is more important." Someone analyzed uncertainly, with a hesitant tone.
"That's probably the case. Senior Sister Mu didn't bring any disciples from the Qianhai Sect with her. She doesn't look like she's looking for trouble."
"Ah, that's true. The Yuan Sect is not easy to deal with. Even my Jiutian Taiqing Palace has to be cautious. Let's try not to have conflicts."
At the front of the team, Ling Qingzhu did not join in the discussion of the Taiqing Palace disciples, but followed Mu Zi closely, paying attention to her every move.
Behind Ling Qingzhu, Su Rou crossed her arms and stared at Mu Zi quietly, with excitement flashing in her eyes.
Su Rou understood Mu Zi's personality, and she knew better than anyone else what would happen next.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Mu Zi walked up to the Yuanmen team and gave them an indifferent look.
Seeing this, the Yuanmen disciples stood up one after another. They stared at Mu Zi closely and entered a state of alert.
Yuan Cang looked at the woman in the white dress not far away, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, and he spoke in a gloomy tone:
"Are you here to cause trouble?"
Mu Zi glanced at Yuan Cang and said calmly: "I need an explanation."
"What statement?"
Yuan Cang narrowed his eyes slightly, with a flickering light in his eyes.
Mu Zi had a blank expression on her face, and her look was unusually calm, and it was impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry.
"The Yuan Sect attacked the Qianhai Sect disciples and injured 23 of them. You must compensate them for their medical expenses."
"How much compensation do you want?" Yuan Cang frowned, a trace of gloom flashed across his face.
Facing many eyes, Mu Zi stretched out two slender fingers. Her white jade-like skin sparkled in the sun, making Yuan Cang feel dazzling.
"Twenty million Nirvana Pills." Mu Zi paused and emphasized, "Per person!"
Wow!
As soon as the words fell, the crowd was in an uproar and exclamations were heard everywhere.
Each person has to pay 20 million as compensation, which is a total of 400 million. With such a large number of Nirvana Pills, even if all the disciples of Yuanmen were exhausted, they might not be able to come up with enough, right?
“It’s so fierce!”
Everyone looked at Mu Zi's calm expression and couldn't help but feel surprised. They didn't expect that this fairy was so beautiful but had such a cruel heart. Was she going to break off relations with Yuanmen?
After hearing Mu Zi's conditions, Yuan Cang's face turned extremely pale, and the anger in his eyes seemed to be bursting out.
"That's unreasonable!"
Yuan Cang stared at Mu Zi intently, and seeing her self-righteous attitude, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch violently.
The people from Qianhai Sect only suffered minor injuries, why do they need so much compensation?
It costs 20 million Nirvana Pills to heal one injury. Are all of you Qianhai Sect disciples rare treasures?
Seeing Mu Zi's exorbitant demands, Yuan Cang no longer pretended to be submissive and started to shout angrily.
"During a sectarian competition, injuries are unavoidable. How can there be any reason for compensation?"
"Besides, it was the Yuan Sect that suffered heavy losses, not the Qianhai Sect! You are asking us for compensation, you are too overbearing!"
Yuan Cang looked agitated, and beneath his angry tone there was a hint of grievance.
It was obvious that the Yuan Clan was the one that suffered the loss, yet it had to endure such oppression from the other side. When had Yuan Cang ever suffered such humiliation?
Facing Yuan Cang's angry roar, Mu Zi remained unmoved, his eyes full of indifference.
Even though Yuan Cang sounded aggrieved, as if the Yuan Sect was the victim, it is a fact that they relied on their strong lineup to attack the Qianhai Sect.
If it weren't for the many hidden cards held by the disciples of Qianhai Sect, it would probably not be just a minor injury.
Although fighting for treasures often occurs in sect competitions, Yuanmen is not specifically targeting Qianhai Sect.
But what does that have to do with Mu Zi? As a member of Qianhai Sect, does she have to consider Yuan Sect?
Yuanmen injured the disciples of Qianhai Sect, and there must be an explanation for this matter. As for the dozens of disciples lost by Yuanmen, how can they be compared with the people of Qianhai Sect?
The people from Yuanmen only lost their lives, but the disciples of Qianhai Sect were injured!
Mu Zi's "excessive" demands immediately aroused the indignation of the Yuanmen disciples. The Yuanmen disciples widened their eyes and trembled with anger.
As a member of Yuanmen, they have always been the ones to intimidate others, so how could they still be bullied by others?
In anger, they wanted to rush forward and fight a bloody battle with the opposite side, but when they thought of the scene where Cao Xuan activated the Hanhai Pearl and killed dozens of people in one blow, they immediately calmed down and did not dare to act rashly.
Qianhai Sect's trump card is too powerful. Even when Cao Xuan activated it, it was still able to display such power. If the stronger Mu Zi were to use it, it would probably unleash even greater destructive power.
At this moment, Yuan Cang suddenly sneered.
"hehe."
As if he had thought of something, Yuan Cang's mouth curled up in a playful arc, as if he had gained some confidence.
"Let's not talk about compensation for now. Do you want to give us an explanation for the fact that your Qianhai Sect violated the rules?"
"What's going on?" Hearing Yuan Cang's meaningful words, everyone couldn't help but feel a little confused. How did it get to the point of breaking the rules again?
Yuan Cang's voice echoed in the air, allowing everyone to hear it clearly.
"Everyone, when fighting with our Yuan Sect, Qianhai Sect used a secret treasure. With the power of the secret treasure, they killed dozens of Yuan Sect disciples."
"This behavior of relying on external forces undoubtedly violates the rules of the sect competition and should be punished."
In sectarian competitions, disciples are allowed to carry spiritual treasures, and even pure spiritual treasures can be used at will. However, some special circumstances are explicitly prohibited.
For example, a powerful senior from the sect would seal his own power into a secret treasure and let the disciples take it to use in the sect competition.
The sectarian competition is essentially a contest among young disciples. Some auxiliary means can be used, but one cannot rely too much on external forces.
Which of the sects in the Eastern Xuan Region doesn't have strong people? If everyone carries this kind of secret treasure, then it won't be a competition of the disciples' strength, but a direct competition of the sect's foundation.
In Yuan Cang's opinion, the Hanhai Pearl used by Cao Xuan should have been refined by the predecessors in the Qianhai Sect, and it sealed the power of that powerful man. Otherwise, how could it have such terrifying power?
"Qianhai Sect violated the rules and must give you an explanation."
Yuan Cang's eyes flickered, and he immediately made a request.
"In the interest of fairness, the secret treasure will be handed over to Yuanmen for safekeeping, and will be returned to its original owner after the sect competition is over."
Yuan Cang's true intentions were revealed. He used the so-called situation to put pressure on Mu Zi to hand over the Hanhai Pearl.
Thinking of the power of the Hanhai Pearl, Yuan Cang felt a surge of heat in his heart.
With Cao Xuan's strength to activate this secret treasure, it is enough to make Yuanmen difficult to match. If Yuan Cang uses it, it will surely be able to exert even more powerful power.
If the Yuan Sect can obtain the Hanhai Pearl, its strength will increase greatly, and it will once again be superior to other sects and will no longer have to fear anyone.
At that time, they can target Dao Zong unscrupulously, just like Yuan Sect did in previous competitions.
As for breaking the rules.
Haha, rules are used to restrain the weak. With the power of Yuanmen in Dongxuan Territory, even if these rules are not followed, would other forces dare to ask Yuanmen for an explanation?
The Yuan Sect has been suppressing the Eastern Xuan Region for more than a day or two. If those sects really couldn't stand it, they would have united to target the Yuan Sect long ago. As it is now, there is no threat.
Hearing Yuan Cang's extremely hypocritical words, bursts of sneers suddenly came from Dao Sect's disciple area.
"What a shameless little Yuan Wang! With just his mouth, he slandered others for breaking the rules. Possessing powerful spiritual treasures is their ability. What qualifications do you have to fart here?"
"That's right. I think he wants to take the magic treasure for himself. He doesn't even take a piss to look at himself. What kind of person is he? Do you think you are worthy of using this magic treasure?"
"Hehe." A series of mocking words came from Dao Zong's team, and they did not hide their disdain at all.
They spoke up one after another and supported Mu Zi without hesitation.
No matter who wants to attack Yuanmen, I, Dao Zong, will definitely lend a hand!
Hearing Dao Zong's mocking voices, Yuan Cang's face darkened, but he did not argue with them. Dao Zong's people were nothing more than clowns. Why should he pay too much attention to them? What his Yuan Sect did represented everything.
Yuan Cang ignored Dao Zong and continued:
"Qianhai Sect used external force to kill Yuanmen disciples, which violated the rules of the competition!"
Yuan Cang spoke in an excited and righteous tone. He stared at Mu Zi opposite him and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
If the other party had not been so aggressive, he might not have done this. If he had to blame someone, he should blame the woman for being too overbearing and doing things without leaving any room for others.
"We must give Yuanmen an explanation for this matter!"
So what if she is a genius? She still has to bow down to the trend. So many people are watching. I believe she will make the right choice.
Looking at the arrogant Yuan Cang, Mu Zi's eyes turned cold.
Yuan Cang knew clearly that he was no match for her, yet he still dared to make such a request in front of her. He was simply out of his mind!
Moreover, Yuan Sect took advantage of her absence to attack Qianhai Sect, which showed that they did not take her seriously.
In Dongxuan Territory, many people know that Qianhai Sect's evildoer is very powerful and is the best among the younger generation, but without seeing it with their own eyes, they still cannot really feel it. They are amazed and in awe, but they cannot say they are very afraid of him.
Mu Zi's appearance is also very deceptive. Many people, when seeing such a beautiful woman like an angel, will subconsciously indulge in her beauty and more or less ignore her aggressiveness.
In other words, in Dongxuan Territory, Mu Zi's reputation is greater than her reputation.
And now, Mu Zi was going to show his strong side in front of everyone, leaving behind a real reputation, or even a bad reputation!
In this way, when others want to take action against Qianhai Sect, they will have to take Mu Zi's existence into consideration.
"You want to explain?"
Mu Zi looked at Yuan Cang with an indifferent expression, and a cold light flashed across his eyes.
Seeing her cold expression, Yuan Cang's pupils suddenly contracted and he couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart.
boom!
In an instant, a terrifying aura burst out from Mu Zi, forming a physical storm that pressed towards the Yuanmen disciples like a raging wave.
Bang bang bang!
The overwhelming pressure came down with a bang, and the disciples of Yuanmen had no power to resist and were instantly forced to their knees on the ground.
"what!"
Nearly five hundred disciples of Yuanmen prostrated themselves on the ground. Under the heavy pressure, their bodies made crisp sounds as if they could not bear the weight. They could not help but scream, and the wailing sounds were endless.
No matter whether they are ordinary disciples, powerful spiritual generals, or even the three little kings who are famous in the Eastern Xuan Territory, they all seem so insignificant in front of Mu Zi's strength. They are like ants, crawling on the ground and unable to raise their heads under the majestic momentum like the sea.
At this moment, the crowd in front of the Fentian Ancient Storage fell into deathly silence. For a moment, the only sound in the huge red basin was the howling of Yuanmen disciples.
One person suppressed the Yuan Sect. Looking at such a shocking scene, the people around him all felt a piercing chill rising from the soles of their feet and rushing straight to the top of their heads, making their scalps numb.
"How can it be!"
Ling Zhen and Lei Qian lay on the ground with their faces buried in the mud, feeling an uncontrollable sense of horror in their hearts.
She was able to overwhelm them with her aura alone and make them unable to resist. Her strength was so terrifying!
They are the direct disciples of the Yuan Sect's master, and are very famous among the younger generation in the Eastern Xuan Region. Even the chiefs of the seven super sects may not be able to withstand a single blow from them. However, the woman in the Qianhai Sect is as fragile as a baby. When she touches the power of the Shengxuan Realm, it is useless to her and she is as humble as an ant.
Even the elders in the sect could not put such terrifying pressure on them. Was she really trying to defy the will of heaven?
Yuan Cang trembled with fear, and almost used up all his strength to lift his face from the ground with difficulty. A pair of slender and delicate jade feet came into view. However, this extremely beautiful thing, in Yuan Cang's eyes at this moment, seemed to have become a symbol of death. Every toe seemed to exude a cold and cruel breath, which made him shiver involuntarily.
Under Mu Zi's pressure, Yuan Cang felt like he was facing a vast ocean. The tremendous pressure surged in and hit him like a wave. He felt fearful and powerless as if he was on the edge of an abyss.
What shocked Yuan Cang even more was that he felt a familiar aura from Mu Zi's oppression, which was exactly the same feeling as when he faced the attack of the Hanhai Pearl.
A horrifying thought flashed through his mind, and Yuan Cang couldn't help but turn pale, unable to believe it.
The secret treasure of Qianhai Sect was made by her!
The powerful secret treasure that was infused with a trace of power and activated by the disciples of Qianhai Sect, which caused the Yuan Sect to flee in panic with one strike, was actually refined by Mu Zi!
The powerful person Yuan Cang thought was from the sect was actually a disciple of Qianhai Sect.
What kind of magical power is this? How unbelievable!
He stared blankly at the jade feet in front of him, and for a moment he was so shocked that he fell into a trance.
Mu Zi looked forward, his indifferent gaze slowly sweeping over the Yuanmen disciples kneeling on the ground, and finally stopped on the figure in the front.
"Are you satisfied with my explanation?"
The cold voice, without a trace of emotion, seemed to come from a distant ice field. Yuan Cang felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave and came back to his senses in an instant.
"Ho ho."
A hoarse laugh squeezed out from his mouth, carrying with it a strong sense of sadness and humiliation.
In front of so many people, Yuan Cang led 500 Yuan Sect disciples to kneel down before a Qianhai Sect disciple. This stain would probably be difficult to wash away in a lifetime.
Thinking of this, Yuan Cang's eyes couldn't help but become dim, his narrow eyes were full of bloodshot, and a strong sense of unwillingness engulfed him like a tide.
"Compensation."
Hearing this, Yuan Cang's body suddenly trembled. He struggled to raise his head and looked at Mu Zi with angry eyes.
"You are insulting Yuanmen!"
Mu Zi sneered. She could hear the threat in Yuan Cang's words, but thinking of using Yuan Clan to pressure her was probably a wrong idea.
"It seems you haven't given up yet."
Mu Zi looked at the people of Yuanmen indifferently, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and the intensity of his pressure suddenly increased.
Puff puff!
An oppression as deep as the sea surged out, and the golden bodies of the disciples of Yuanmen collapsed instantly, exploding before their eyes, turning into balls of blood mist. The scarlet blood flew everywhere, staining the red earth, and gathered into rivers, with murderous aura rising to the sky.
"hiss!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of people gasping for air from the crowd. Some inexperienced disciples could not help but vomit when they saw the tragic scene before them.
With the horrifying explosions, the number of Yuanmen's disciples was decreasing rapidly. In just a few moments, dozens of people were blown into bloody mist, and the number was still increasing.
"Too cruel!"
Everyone looked at the barefoot figure in the white dress, their eyes trembled violently, and their hearts were shaken.
The fairy-like beautiful woman now looked like an evil star, a Shura from hell. The strong contrast gave rise to a deep fear in their hearts.
No one dared to stare at Mu Zi's delicate body wantonly anymore. Some people who had admiration for her also quickly retracted their gazes, for fear of offending this goddess of killing.
Among the crowd of Jiutian Taiqing Palace, the disciples were stunned when they saw this scene.
"Too violent."
Many disciples of Taiqing Palace had come into contact with Mu Zi before, but at that time she was as pure and beautiful as a fairy, with a casual and approachable attitude, which made people involuntarily like her. However, at this moment, that figure became so strange in their eyes, completely different from her usual self.
No, perhaps this is her true side, violent and cruel.
In the crowd, Wu Qun subconsciously looked at the figure in red. At this moment, Su Rou's cold and arrogant face flashed a sickly blush, and her eyes were shining. She looked at the woman who was killing Yuanmen disciples with an admiring and longing look.
Seeing Su Rou like this, and thinking of how well-behaved she was in front of Mu Zi not long ago, a hint of realization flashed in Wu Qun's eyes.
He finally understood why Su Rou behaved so obediently in front of Mu Zi. It was because they were the same kind of people.
The only person who can conquer a violent woman is a stronger violent woman!
What bloodline suppression?
In Dao Zong's team, everyone became excited when they saw the miserable condition of Yuan Sect's disciples, and did not try to hide their joy.
"Hahaha, good kill!"
The Dao Sect disciples laughed heartily. They felt extremely happy to see the Yuan Sect disciples, who had a feud with them, end up like this. It was much more satisfying than having a breakthrough in one realm.
"This senior sister is truly an amazing person!" They sighed, looking at Mu Zi with shining eyes.
Among the Dao Sect disciples, a girl with a ponytail was looking at the powerful Mu Zi with a strange look in her eyes.
At this moment, she seemed to finally understand why Lin Dong admired that woman so much.
Who wouldn't be impressed by such a powerful and domineering girl?
On the ground, Yuan Cang felt the aura of the Yuan Sect disciples behind him dissipating one by one. His eyes were bloodshot and the power in his body was surging wildly. A round talisman was about to emerge on his forehead.
However, when he met Mu Zi's eyes, all his courage was instantly drained away.
There wasn't a trace of murderous intent in those beautiful and clear eyes, but that kind of cold and ruthless look was even more frightening, like an abyss or a prison, as if swallowed by endless darkness.
"I'll compensate."
