Volume 1 The Maison Chapter 20 "A Sudden Change" (Seeking Book Reviews)

"Whew——!"

The howling sound like a beast quickly spread, and there seemed to be a solemn intent and the majesty of a fierce beast in the whistling! even made the audience feel a little trance.

When everyone came back to their senses, Mu Jingxi had already knelt on one knee, and Mu Jingtian, who was not far away, had already stood firm, and a crack on the right side of it had already appeared on the field, obviously Mu Jingxi's full force hit did not hit.

A trace of blood slowly came out of Mu Jingxi's mouth, cold sweat flowed all over his body, and his body trembled. The moment he was directly hit by the sound wave, Mu Jingxi only felt that the bones in his body were vibrating, as if he was in a big bell that was ringing, and even a mouthful of blood spurted out. And what was even more bizarre was the beast-like majesty in that roar, which made Mu Jingxi tremble a little—a tremor from the depths of his soul!

"Young Master Jing Cheng, what's going on?" Mu Qing hurriedly asked.

Mu Jingxi's previous blow was categorically not missed, but the moment everyone lost their minds, the scene on the stage changed dramatically, it was really weird!

"This ...... I don't know, maybe this is Mu Jingtian's fourth trick, I have inquired before, but I don't know what this trick is......" Mu Jingcheng said.

"Silt Realm - Seal!"

Just when everyone came back to their senses and witnessed this strange scene, Mu Jingtian immediately attacked! I saw that under his shouting, the table from the front of him to the place where Mu Jingxi was actually flowing—like a river!

Mu Jingxi's body quickly fell into the mudflow, and the rushing mud flow kept slapping on the struggling Mu Jingxi, carrying Mu Jingxi and roaring away, until the mudflow finally stopped, Mu Jingxi's body parts from the chest down except for his head and arms had been buried in the ground.

Mu Jingxi just wanted to break free, but the mud that trapped him quickly dried out at a speed visible to the naked eye, trapping him firmly.

"Ahem...... It's a pity......" Mu Jingtian said with some dissatisfaction.

"This! What can I do? Xue Ling'er said anxiously when she saw that Mu Jingxi was trapped.

"Alas! I was still caught, but Jing Xi was lucky......" Mu Jing said.

"Oh? Young Master Jing Cheng, what do you mean by this? Mu Qing asked.

"In this muddy realm, if you can directly bury your opponent in the heyday of Mu Jingtian, even if it is a clan, it will not be a problem for Jing Xi to keep only one head, but now he is also injured, Jing Xi's hands are still outside, and there is still a chance." Mu Jing admitted.

"Jing Xi, admit defeat!" Mu Jingtian said expressionlessly.

Mu Jingxi shook his head, and the spiritual power around his body exploded, causing a whistling sound.

Mu Jingtian frowned, he already understood what Mu Jingxi meant, and immediately stopped talking nonsense, surging spiritual power began to gather in his palm, and his body moved straight towards Mu Jingxi.

Seeing this, Mu Jingxi clasped his hands together, gathered the spiritual power around his body, and prepared to make a hard connection.

"Da Yuan Shu Yang Palm!"

A loud drink! Mu Jingtian struck out with a palm, and a huge palm print shot out.

Mu Jingxi pushed forward with both hands, and the majestic spiritual power also roared away.

"It seems that Jing Xi is going to lose......" Mu Jingcheng muttered.

After all, the offensive launched by Mu Jingxi was more than one level worse than Mu Jingtian.

"Bang——! Bang ——! ”

"Catch the Assassin ——!"

……

At the moment when the attacks of the two were about to collide, there was a commotion in the VIP seats not far away.

"Get down now!"

Before everyone could react, an unquestionable voice immediately came.

Mu Jingxi and Mu Jingtian's attention was completely focused on this decisive blow, and they didn't notice the changes that happened at all.

"Whoosh——!

A man in black quickly swept over, opened his hands to catch the attacks of the two respectively, and the two attacks, which could be described as terrifying in the eyes of the Mu family's disciples, were casually defused by the man.

Mu Jingtian and the others didn't even have time to be surprised before they were hugged by the man and protected under them......

"Buzz!"

A vast aura like the sea spread quickly, and under such a powerful aura, Mu Jingxi, who was confused, only felt an oppression—the oppression that couldn't resist at all!

"Bang!"

The explosion swept through, and everyone felt that a shock wave that seemed to break their hearts was piercing through their bodies......

"Ahem...... What happened? ”

"What's going on?"

……

Heads emerged from the soil, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Grandma's! Bah! Phew......"

Mu Jingxi shook off the dirt on his body, and then looked around, he was worried about Mu Qing, and even more worried about Xue Ling'er, after all, Xue Ling'er had never learned how to deal with such an incident.

Finally, in an inconspicuous corner of the audience, Mu Jingxi found Mu Qing and the girl in his arms. Looking at Xue Ling'er's appearance, it was obvious that she was shocked by the suffocating spiritual power oppression before.

Signaling that Mu Jingxi was fine, Mu Qing hurriedly looked at the girl in her arms.

"Ling'er? Are you okay? Mu Qing looked at the unconscious girl and said anxiously.

"Brother Mu Qing...... What happened? The girl who came to her senses said suspiciously.

Shaking his head, signaling Xue Ling'er not to worry, Mu Qing turned his head and looked at Mu Jingcheng gratefully. Everything happened too quickly, and Mu Qing didn't have time to react, thanks to Mu Jingcheng who protected Xue Ling'er.

Waving his hand, Mu Jingcheng didn't say anything.

Everyone came out of the soil, although they were a little embarrassed, but fortunately, the children of the Mu family had received training to face emergencies on weekdays, and they had long been accustomed to obeying orders, so there were no casualties.

"Look!"

A shout attracted everyone's attention to the VIP seat in the distance, only to see that most of the VIP seat had already been destroyed at this time, and the thick smoke and dust were rising, and the Mu family's guards were surrounding it tightly. Apparently the source of the previous riot was the VIP seats!

Although he was curious, no one dared to come forward to check, after all, the reason for such a big movement was not something that the children of the Mu family or some elders could interfere with.

In the VIP seat, the thick black smoke had not yet cleared, and a team of Mu family guards was escorting several men who were constantly struggling in Mu family guard uniforms, but they looked like they were obviously seriously injured. In addition, there were several men lying on the VIP seats, but they were clearly lifeless.

"Humph!"

With an angry snort, a tall figure stepped out of the black smoke, its expression extremely distorted, obviously angry to the extreme. The previous spiritual power was the result of this person.

"Mu-Heng-Qian——! Get the hell out of here! ”

The only one who dared to talk to the head of the Mu family like this was Wang Shutian, but this tone was really not good. However, no one from the Mu family dared to accuse Wang Shutian at this time, because the previous assassin's target was Wang Shutian!

Mu Hengqian hurriedly stepped forward: "Brother Wang......"

Interrupting Mu Hengqian's words with a wave of his hand, Wang Shutian said angrily: "I want your Mu family to give me an explanation!" ”

"Master Mu, please give my Wang family an explanation for this matter! Otherwise, the old man can only think that it was your Mu family who deliberately planned to assassinate the head of my Wang family in the name of clan comparison......" A royal family elder said.

"Elder Qi Soul, where does this start......

"The facts are right in front of you! What else is there to say? The king said angrily.

"Master Mu, there is no need to say more! If this matter does not give my Wang family an answer, then although the old man is not talented, he can only ask the Mu family master for justice here! ”

Mu Hengqian couldn't argue, and could only look at an assassin with resentment.

"Break his hand for me!"

"Click——!"

The two Assassin guards, one left and one right, grabbed the Assassin's arms and snapped them off with their knees.

"It's a man! Say! Who sent you? In order to avoid the pain of flesh and skin! Looking at this assassin who was sweating profusely but did not complain, Mu Hengqian said indifferently.

The assassin looked up at Mu Hengqian, and then lowered his head again.

"Toast without eating and drinking! Break it again! An elder of the Mu family said angrily.

"Click!" The two guards threw their feet forward and kicked the Assassin's knee. The Assassin's body then fell to the ground. At this time, the Assassin could no longer support it, and his mouth kept moaning "Oooo

The tiger's eyes swept over the other assassins on the field, and as far as Mu Hengqian's eyes could see, the assassins lowered their heads in horror. This method of torture and then questioning greatly deterred the Assassins.

"If you don't want to be like him, just tell me! Freedom from the flesh and skin! ”

Hearing this, the Assassins shivered as they looked at the unlucky man who had fallen to the ground, but none of them spoke.

Seeing this, Mu Hengqian was furious! Just as he was about to give the order, Mu Jinglan on the side shouted: "Father! Wait! ”

Immediately, Mu Jinglan walked towards the assassin who fell to the ground under the puzzled eyes of everyone. I saw Mu Jinglan bend down, and after observing for a moment, she reached out and grabbed the assassin's chin.

"No wonder, father, don't bother!" Mu Jinglan said slowly.

Everyone looked at the assassin's open mouth and couldn't help but be shocked!

"What a ruthless method!"

It turned out that the assassin's tongue had long since been cut out, so even under the severe pain, he could only make a whimpering sound.

Seeing this, the crowd immediately checked on the rest of the Assassins, and sure enough, the tongues of some of the Assassins had been cut off beforehand.

Seeing this, several Mu family elders glanced at each other: This person who planted the false accusation can be described as painstaking!

"Humph! Even if you are all dumb, my Mu family has the means! Take it down and try it separately! Whoever can't stand it, let him write it to me! If anyone's answers don't agree, continue to torture him! I don't believe I can't ask! Mu Hengqian's patience was finally exhausted, and he said angrily.

"Yes!"

Just as the guards were about to take the Assassins away, the Assassins on the stage suddenly fell to the ground one by one, struggling on the ground continuously, and after a few moments, they vomited black blood and died one after another......

"What the hell is going on?"

"Why don't you go and have a look?"

"Looking for death, you, the elder said just now, no one is allowed to go over......"

……

The children of the Mu family didn't know what was going on in the VIP table, so they could only keep speculating.

"Whew——!"

An old man swept into the air, and everyone saluted: "See the elder!" ”

The old man didn't say much, but ordered: "The clan is suspended!" All the clansmen withdrew from the arena and were not allowed to leave Mufu without permission! ”

Then the old man left in a loud noise......

"Da Da Da ......"

A team of guards walked by, and the atmosphere in the Mu Mansion was particularly depressing.

At this time, the Mu family has long been strictly controlled, and the entire Mu Mansion is like an iron barrel. With such a serious incident occurring in the Mu Mansion, it can be said that the entire Mu family has entered a state of high tension.

However, for the children of the Mu family, they didn't know what was happening in the arena today, in addition to speculating and discussing the timing of the fight, they were more concerned about the clan that was forcibly stopped.

"It's too late, it's too soon! I saw Mu Jingtian slapping his hand, young master, I saw this, and smiled slightly......"

At this time, the atmosphere in the Qianlong Pavilion was extremely cheerful. Completely ignoring his injuries, Mu Jingxi was bragging about his various "wonderful" to Mu Qing and the others. Mu Jingxi, who was sitting on the bed, held a teacup in his hand, and added gestures while blowing, looking like a storyteller in a teahouse.

"It's not the young master who blows with you! Ling'er, do you believe it? If the game hadn't been forcibly stopped, the young master would have won by now......"

Hearing this, Xue Ling'er smiled awkwardly, and looked like I believed everything you said.

"Young Master? I mean, you're too ruthless, aren't you? Even he was willing to deceive ......" Mu Qing finally couldn't stand Mu Jingxi's "high-minded talk" and spoke.

In fact, Mu Jingxi also knew in his heart that today's game was completely one-sided, could he win? Even he didn't believe it.

But having said that, Mu Jingxi was still as before, and a beautiful throat lock took Mu Qing down......

Different from the pleasure in the Qianlong Pavilion, the atmosphere of the Mu family's meeting room at this time was particularly depressing. The smell of blood filled the air......

In the hall, a man had disemboweled the corpses of the assassins, and from time to time examined the corpses' internal organs with tools, the scene was extremely bloody, but the people sitting there did not show any discomfort.

"How?" Mu Hengqian said lightly.

"Qiyu Patriarch ......" The man stopped what he was doing and hugged his fists.

It turned out that not only had their tongues plucked out, but they had also been poisoned beforehand. These poisons are peculiar and have no effect when consumed, but they can set in whenever the person who takes them suffers internal injuries. Therefore, the assassins did not have any abnormalities beforehand, but after being injured by Wang Shutian, they were poisoned and died.

"Humph! Good! Good! What a good idea! In this way, my Mu family is at a loss for words! An elder said calmly.

"What do you think?" Mu Heng said.

"From the point of view, this assassination is not aimed at the head of the Wang family, but at my Mu family." An elder spoke.

Everyone nodded, but there was no rebuttal. The people here are not idle people, and they can see that this is a scheme. After all, these assassins are all powerhouses of the Yuan Dan Realm, and in the eyes of ordinary people, they may be masters of Tongtian, but who is Wang Shutian? The head of the royal family of the four major families, the powerhouse of the Imperial Venerable Realm, how could the assassins of the Yuan Dan Realm do anything about it? Even if the assassins of the Void Realm came, they would only be sent to death.

Coupled with the various abnormalities on the assassins, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this assassin is just cannon fodder. In this case, there is only one possibility, and that is the purpose of the assassins, or the purpose of the people behind it, is to provoke a conflict between the two families.

But in the eyes of outsiders, in addition to this possibility, it is not ruled out that the Mu family is plotting against the law, and without evidence, no one will believe in the innocence of the Mu family.

As the two major hegemonic forces in the empire, although the Mu family and the Wang family have not been too harmonious, they have maintained a delicate balance after all.

The power of the two families is intertwined in the empire, economically, politically, and militarily, and the two families are everywhere. Economic strife alone is enough to shake the power system within the empire. Therefore, once the war starts, it is not as simple as losing some money, and the rest of the forces may also be implicated, which will cause a civil war within the empire, after all, the size of the two families has this energy!

So who is behind the scenes? How many other families or sects? Provoke two families to fight and reap the benefits?

Enemy forces? Stirring up the empire and starting a war?

Royal house? Stir up a clash of forces within the empire to cut out the threat and consolidate the rule?

But what is certain is that no matter how the situation develops, the Mu family will definitely bear the brunt!

Puzzled, Mu Hengqian simply waved his hand and announced: "Immediately pass the order: First, the Mu family should strengthen vigilance, especially to ensure the safety of VIPs. Second, try to avoid stimulating the Wang family and strive to ease the relationship between the two families! Third, try to maintain good relations with various forces during this period to avoid making enemies...... Finally, don't forget, be prepared for a big war, of course, in secret, so as not to give someone a ......."

The careful arrangement shows the ability of this Mu family helmsman, and everyone shouted in unison after hearing it:

"Command!"
