Urban Invincible Overlord

Chapter 1515 - 1512: So There’s Nothing More to Discuss?

Actually, Mu Qingchuan had never figured out one thing in his heart.

Those two little thieves clearly entered Hehuan Residence, yet he found nothing during his search with divine sense.

Two living people couldn’t possibly evade his divine sense search; he was very confident in this.

Even if Yan Xihua wanted to hide them, there wasn’t enough time.

Moreover, he could confirm that there was no array in Hehuan Residence that could shield and hide those two thieves. If there was, he wouldn’t be unable to detect it with his cultivation.

He even suspected whether Mu Renqing had tracked the wrong target.

Could it be that those two thieves had long seen through the tracking aura left by Mu Renqing and played a trick of shedding their skin?

At this moment, seeing Yan Xihua catching up and taking the initiative to mention those two thieves, his heart was stirred, and he asked, "Oh? Immortal Yan, have you truly found those two little thieves?"

Yan Xihua nodded.

Mu Renqing sneered secretly on the side. Clearly, it was you who hid them, yet you pretend in front of us.

Mu Qingchuan suppressed his doubts, feigned surprise, and said, "Do those two little thieves have some special treasure that allows them to hide so perfectly, evading my divine sense search?"

Yan Xihua smiled slightly and nodded, "Indeed. The space-type treasure they have is truly remarkable, even deceiving me."

Mu Qingchuan’s pupils shrank: "Space-type treasure?"

Mu Renqing looked incredulous: "What kind of space-type treasure can hide two living people, and they’re even Core Formation stage experts?"

Mu Qingchuan reprimanded, "Renqing, don’t be rude."

Mu Renqing’s heart shivered, remembering the previous lesson from Yan Xihua, he reluctantly shrank his neck back aside.

Yan Xihua chuckled lightly, indifferently said, "It’s no problem, his doubt is normal. After all, even I have never seen such a space-type treasure in my life."

Mu Qingchuan said seriously, "Immortal Yan wasn’t joking?"

Yan Xihua said, "Do you think I caught up just to joke with you?"

Mu Qingchuan hurriedly cupped his hands in apology, "Excuse me, Immortal Yan, don’t misunderstand, it’s just that such a grade of space-type treasure is too rare, suddenly appearing makes it hard to believe."

He changed his tone and said, "I don’t know how those two little thieves are now?"

Yan Xihua said, "I’ve detained them at Hehuan Residence." As she spoke, she showed a bit of shyness on her face and continued, "Funny enough, these two turn out to be old acquaintances of my new dao companion."

Mu Qingchuan initially thought that Yan Xihua caught up because she understood the gravity of the situation, and not wanting to offend the Mu Family, would hand over the people to him; unexpectedly, she said this in the end.

He immediately frowned, his tone firm, "Immortal Yan, since you’ve found these two, you know clearly the grudges between them and our Mu Family, it would be appreciated if you hand them over to the Mu Family, as though the Mu Family owes you a favor, how about it?"

"Haha, I originally wanted to hand them over directly to you, but those juniors have quite the background," Yan Xihua giggled, looking at Mu Qingchuan.

Mu Qingchuan’s heart skipped, he asked, "Quite the background? Please, Immortal Yan enlighten me, so our Mu Family knows if their backing is someone we can’t afford to offend."

Yan Xihua said, "One of them is the closed-door disciple of Master Wan Daorong from Shang Qing Sect, and is also closely acquainted with Shen Family Head Shen Wanjing, holding Shen Family Head’s personal letter of identity."

Mu Qingchuan’s face changed, surprised, "Really?"

Yan Xihua huffed softly, looking slightly displeased, "Do I need to deceive your Mu Family?"

Mu Qingchuan took a deep breath, with a gleam flashing in his eyes, steadfastly said, "He seized the Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass that our Mu Family protected for years and killed so many members of our Mu Family, even if he’s Master Wan’s direct disciple, so what? This hatred, our Mu Family can’t simply let go."

Yan Xihua curiously asked, "So you mean, your Mu Family wants to go to war with Shang Qing Sect?"

Mu Qingchuan’s heart shivered, he quickly said, "Although Shang Qing Sect is a Nancheng One-Star Sect with great strength, they must follow the rules of the cultivation world. If their disciple committed wrongs, they wouldn’t publicly shelter them, right?"

Yan Xihua laughed lightly, "But as far as I know, they didn’t actively seize the Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass from your Mu Family, saying it was given to them by someone else. As for killing your Mu Family members, wasn’t it because your Mu Family people attacked them first?"

Mu Qingchuan frowned.

Mu Renqing thought carefully, and it seemed that indeed it was Fourth Brother Mu Renhuai who first attacked that female thief.

But it involved the secret of the Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass at that time, with the Mu Family having more people and strength, they wouldn’t let anyone who knew the secret escape, which was commonplace in the cultivation world.

Seeing Mu Qingchuan not refuting, Yan Xihua smiled slightly and hurriedly continued, "I’ve convinced them to return the Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass to the Mu Family, but the Mu Family must agree to let go of the matters of their killing Mu Family members."

Mu Renqing suddenly jumped up, "Impossible, my Fourth Brother and Sixth Brother, and those brothers can’t just die in vain."

Mu Qingchuan nodded silently, looking at Yan Xihua said, "Indeed, so many of our Mu Family died, how can we just let it go? Those two little thieves must pay with blood for those who died from our Mu Family, otherwise, how would we stand in the Southern Domain in the future?"

Yan Xihua frowned slightly, "So, there’s no room for negotiation?"

Mu Qingchuan heard the change in Yan Xihua’s tone, his heart chilled, hesitantly looking at her, "Immortal Yan intends to protect these two?"

Yan Xihua said, "As I said earlier, these two are old acquaintances of my new dao companion, and considering the relationship they have with Shen Family Head and Master Wan from Shang Qing Sect, how can I stand by? This Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass is crucial for your Mu Family’s ancestor, if you can’t recover it this time, I’m afraid your Mu Family might not be able to hold on much longer."

Mu Qingchuan’s face turned extremely ugly, "Immortal Yan, are you threatening our Mu Family?"

Yan Xihua shook her head, "No, I am just kindly reminding you, considering our long-standing relationship."

Mu Qingchuan’s expression fluctuated a few times, and after a moment, he said, "When did Master Wan accept a closed-door disciple? And Shen Family Head is such a figure, why would he become close friends with a mere Core Formation cultivator?"

Yan Xihua sneered coldly, "Are you doubting my words, Mu Qingchuan?"

Mu Qingchuan’s heart shook, quickly said, "Immortal Yan, don’t be angry, I was merely discussing the matter, there is some doubt, that’s all."

Yan Xihua huffed lightly, "Proving his relationship with Master Wan is simple; your Mu Family can easily verify it. As for his relationship with Shen Family Head, besides the jade scroll Shen Family Head left with him, you can inquire around Shifang City."

Mu Qingchuan, hearing her say this, already believed it somewhat, as such matters with the Mu Family’s connections could be verified easily; Yan Xihua indeed had no need to deceive him about this.

After a brief consideration, he said, "Have them hand over the Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass first; as for them killing our Mu Family disciples, it’s a significant matter. I’ll have to consult the family ancestor after returning to give a response."
