Chapter 948: 0948 Murderous Intent Does Not Cease! (Third Update)

"There’s nothing interesting here. It’s just a rundown courtyard. Might as well burn it to the ground," a young man said indifferently.

Ye Qiu activated his clairvoyant vision, piercing through the barriers. He took a good look at the man’s face. It was unfamiliar—he didn’t recognize him.

Could it be that he’s not someone from the three ancient clans?

"Young Master Mu, we can’t burn this place. Although it’s the residence of that lunatic Ye Qiu, this territory belongs to Cloud Palace. It was originally lent to him by Cloud Palace. If we burn it down, Cloud Palace will undoubtedly come after us," someone said, trying to flatter the young man.

The mere mention of Cloud Palace seemed to extinguish the young man’s temper as he dropped the idea of burning the courtyard.

Cloud Palace’s standing in the ancient lands was unique. Even the three ancient clans avoided provoking it. Moreover, a legendary-level powerhouse from Cloud Palace—an undying figure—had been commonly seen recently. No one dared to underestimate the Five Sheep Honored One.

"Fine, we won’t burn it. The reason we came here was to see if there were any clues left. I suspect this brat was involved in Canshou’s death. Otherwise, why else would he disappear without a trace?" the young man said languidly.

Ye Qiu pieced together the man’s identity from his words. He figured out that he was from the Mu Clan. Mu Canshou had indeed died at Ye Qiu’s hands, but Ye Qiu had covered his tracks flawlessly. Judging from the man’s words, they still hadn’t found any evidence regarding Mu Canshou’s death.

This young man seemed older than Mu Canshou. Ye Qiu had never seen him before. Could he be a reclusive prodigy of the Mu Clan?

Ye Qiu didn’t have a deep understanding of the inner workings of the three ancient clans.

Still, the young man’s strength was average—merely in the late Legend realm. Ye Qiu didn’t pay him much mind.

At his current level, martial artists in the Legend realm held no interest for Ye Qiu. Killing one was as effortless as crushing an ant.

Back when he was in the Legend realm himself, he could already slay Mythic warriors and disregard others in the same tier. Now, having ascended to Mythic and Human Immortal levels, opponents of this strength barely warranted his attention.

Ye Qiu remained still. Killing these people would pose no challenge; he decided to listen a while longer. Perhaps he could glean some information about the current state of the ancient lands from their conversation.

"The young master is right. There’s no evidence, but I also believe this brat is involved. That lunatic Ye Qiu is truly despicable—daring to challenge the Mu Clan, all because of his ties to Cloud Palace. If he were here, I’d be the first to teach him a lesson on the young master’s behalf," the flatterer said.

"Heh." The Mu Clan youth chuckled lightly at the flattery. "Your strength might suffice to handle some weaklings, but as for Ye Qiu... you’re far from capable. Such a pity. He’s gone into hiding. Otherwise, I’d have loved to test his limits myself. After all, even one of our Mu Clan prodigies lost to him. I’m quite curious—just how strong is he?"

"If the young master were to act, that lunatic would be utterly crushed. From what I see, he’s probably scared and is hiding from us. But I believe that one day, he’ll resurface," the flatterer said.

"Hahaha... Even if he doesn’t show himself, I have ways to draw him out. That lackey of his—a nobody from a fringe ancient clan—dared to go against our Mu Clan. Where is he now? In our hands," the Mu Clan youth sneered coldly.

"But Jin Shanshun refuses to talk—he won’t spill Ye Qiu’s whereabouts, no matter what. It seems our torture isn’t harsh enough," another Mu Clan member said.

"No matter. Doesn’t he have a sister? What’s her name again? Quite the looker too," the Mu Clan youth remarked.

"Her name is Jin Zhimo. If young master desires, I can instruct Elder Jin Mu to bring her to our Mu Clan," the subordinate said.

"A woman from a fringe ancient clan? Hardly worth my attention. But warming my bed once wouldn’t be too bad. If Jin Shanshun still refuses to talk, follow through with your suggestion," the Mu Clan youth replied flatly.

"Understood. Now, the entire Jin Clan is under our control. Oh, and there’s another matter I need to report to you," he said.

"You’re referring to the Primordial Pills?" The Mu Clan youth’s eyes flickered.

"Yes. According to Elders Jin Mu and Jin Shui of the Jin Clan, their Clan Leader Jin Wanshan possessed several Primordial Pills of unknown origin. Yet, despite scouring every corner of the Jin Clan, we couldn’t find those pills," the subordinate replied.

The Mu Clan youth turned slightly and smoothed his robes, saying, "Primordial Pills are incredibly rare and invaluable for breakthroughs. Especially in these times when alchemical pills are scarce in the ancient lands, owning even one can greatly benefit one’s cultivation. Aside from the occasional auction by Cloud Palace, Primordial Pills are virtually unheard of."

"That Jin Wanshan owning Primordial Pills is rather intriguing. Perhaps he discovered some ancient ruins. Keep interrogating him. If he doesn’t talk, escalate the torture. Such treasures belong to our Mu Clan—they cannot be wasted on a fringe clan," the youth said coldly.

"Understood," the subordinate replied.

Within moments, every word of their conversation entered Ye Qiu’s ears. Upon learning of Jin Shanshun’s predicament, Ye Qiu’s expression instantly turned grim.

Jin Mu and Jin Shui, two elders of the Jin Clan, had betrayed their kin and defected to the Mu Clan. Worse yet, Jin Shanshun and his father, Jin Wanshan, had been imprisoned and subjected to relentless torture.

"It’s all my fault," Ye Qiu murmured to himself. The thought of Jin Shanshun enduring unimaginable suffering filled him with deep guilt. If it weren’t for Ye Qiu, Jin Shanshun might still be a humble man content with his research and inventions.

Instead, due to their connection, Jin Shanshun had become a target for the Mu Clan. Ye Qiu’s disappearance for five to six months had only exacerbated the situation. He couldn’t guess how much pain Jin Shanshun had endured, but he knew it must be unimaginable.

Moreover, the Primordial Pills Ye Qiu had left with Jin Shanshun had failed to enhance the Jin Clan’s position, instead stoking betrayal among their ranks and leading to their downfall. novelbuddy.cσ๓

"They all deserve to die!"

Ye Qiu’s heart swelled with uncontrollable killing intent.

Especially the people before him—they were the culprits responsible for Jin Shanshun’s suffering. In an instant, Ye Qiu’s murderous aura enveloped them.

He had planned to leave this desolate courtyard, but suddenly, an icy intent descended from above. Both the flatterer and the Mu Clan prodigy’s expressions changed.

They sensed danger!

"Who’s there? Daring to attack members of the Mu Clan—do you seek enmity with our clan?" the Mu Clan youth shouted.

From the shadows, Ye Qiu slowly emerged, his eyes brimming with killing intent.

"Who are you?" The Mu Clan youth didn’t recognize Ye Qiu, but the others, some of whom had seen Ye Qiu before, froze in terror.

"Young Master... he... he’s... Ye... Qiu!" one of them stammered.

"Ye Qiu!"

The Mu Clan youth’s expression immediately shifted as he snorted coldly. "So you’ve finally shown yourself. Perfect. I’ll capture you and make you confess—did you kill my brother Canshou?"

"I did," Ye Qiu admitted plainly.

"Today, I’ll kill you too, so you can join him in death!"

Upon hearing Ye Qiu’s confession, the Mu Clan youth prepared to strike. However, before he could act, a flash of cold light shot forward with unparalleled speed.

The Mu Clan youth couldn’t even react before his life was extinguished.

"Ah..." The others watched in horror as the Mu Clan prodigy was killed before he could even draw a single move. They were petrified. A late-stage Legend realm expert slain in the blink of an eye?

"He... he’s... Mythic level!" someone exclaimed, pointing at Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu sneered. "You guessed right. I am Mythic. And now, it’s your turn!"

With that, Ye Qiu swung his sword again. Within two breaths, all of them lay dead in a pool of blood. Not one was spared.

The moonlight fell on Ye Qiu, whose killing intent only intensified. He wasn’t done yet—there were still more to kill!
