Mu Qing banned every clan member from going out of the clan less the Cao clan use underhand tactics. Now, the entire mu clan was under protection of the grand formation. Even they mobilized their entire clan’s power, they won’t able to break its defense easily without paying a hefty price.
At this time, Feng Yun was also feeling a little pressure. He was now cultivating in a big room. He surrounded by the small mountains of spirit stones, a high grade spirit gathering formation placed on the floor. This formation was sucking the spirit stone’s qi and turning in into a pure spirit energy for Feng Yun to absorb.
The spirit energy in the room was so dense that it looked like white fog.
Feng Yun was sitting in the center of the formation and absorbing the spirit energy with a quick pace.
Feng Yun was not only one who desperately trying to raise his strength, other members of the Mu Clan were also trying their best to raise their strength.
Well, there were a few people in the clan who did not care about anything and playing around. Naturally, the little devil Xianling was among them. Xianling played with the kids of the Mu Clan, he was here for a short time but already became boss of the children.
…
Time passed, soon ten days went. Today, the Mu Clan welcomed two guests who come from the Black Tortoise Empire. Mu Qing, Li Dongmei and another few elders come forward to welcome them. They were two female, a young and an old. Young girl was looked like 22 years old and has extraordinary appearance. Her facial appearance was similar to Li Dongmei.
“Qian’er, you finally arrived!” Li Dongmei looked at the girl and said happily.
“Mother!” The girls exclaimed as she rushed into Li Dongmei’s arms excitedly. It was none other Mu Wenqian, daughter of Mu Tian and Li Dongmei. After not seeing a few years, her daughter matured a lot, her aura was much stronger than before. Unexpectedly, she has become a Mid-Rank Heaven Profound Realm cultivator.
“Mother, what is going on?” Mu Wenqian asked worriedly.
“Lets not chat by the door, who is this guest?” Li Dongmei said to her daughter then she looked at the old woman who came with Mu Wenqian.
“Mother, this is senior Hua, a deacon of the Imperial Academy. My master sent senior Hua with me to assist the Mu Clan. With senior Hua, we can solve the problem.” Mu Wenqian said as she introduced the old woman to her mother.
The old woman was wearing a simple light blue robe and has an amicable expression on her face. Although she didn’t release any strong Qi, she was indeed a Peak Stage Sovereign Profound Realm cultivator.
“Greetings Senior!” Mu Qing and others greeted the old woman respectfully.
“Hello everyone! You don’t have to so reserve, after all you all are family of little Qian.” The old woman replied lightly.
“Senior please this way!” Mu Qing said politely as she led the old woman into the clan. After that, Mu Qing led the old woman into the gathering hall.
…
A few minutes later, Mu Qing, Li Dongmei, Mu Wenqian’s teacher and herself were sitting in the hall. Mu Qing was telling the situation of the Mu Clan to the old woman.
“What? Mother, Aunt, what happened to the Father?” When Mu Wenqian heard that her father has gone missing. She exclaimed in surprised. Li Dongmei didn’t tell her about her father’s situation when she contacted her, only told her that the Mu Clan was facing a great crisis.
Now when she heard that her father has gone missing, she became anxious for her father’s safety.
“Qian’er, calm down. Your father should be alright, he might have stuck in some situation. We should have some faith in your father.” Mu Qing comforted Mu Wenqian and said calmly.
“This is indeed a tricky situation, but you don’t have to worry. No matter how daring the Cao Clan, they wouldn’t dare to go against the Black Tortoise Empire.” The old woman said confidently.
“Senior, I am afraid, this is not simple. The Entire Blazing Sun City knew that Mu Wenqian is a disciple of the imperial academy. The Cao Clan showing still very aggressive attitude, I am afraid they also had strong backing.” Mu Qing said with a thoughtful expression. It was her guess, she wasn’t sure about it. But she has a feeling that the Cao Clan was planning something big. And it was bad news for them.
The old woman pondered for a moment and said, “Mu Wenqian is one of the genius of the imperial academy, the academy paid a lot of attention on the safety of the geniuses. Moreover, little Qian is also a disciple of the elder Ling. Elder Ling is a Divine Profound Realm cultivator. Even if the Cao Clan had the backing of a Divine Profound Realm cultivator, they won’t offend the imperial academy.”
Mu Qing and Li Dongmei took a sigh of relief when they heard the old woman.
“Mother, Aunt, Have you found some clue of father?” Mu Wenqian looked at Li Dongmei and asked worriedly.
Mu Qing and Li Dongmei shook their heads.
At this time, the old woman said slowly, “Little Qian, don’t make early assumption. Maybe your father have entered some secret realm. There are many secret realms in the world.”
“This…” Mu Wenqian nodded lightly but her worried hasn’t disappeared.
“Senior Hua, what should we do now?” Mu Qing asked curiously for the old woman’s suggestion.
“Well, we can’t just wait for the Cao Clan to come to us. After all, we can’t stay in the Mu Clan for a long time, we have to return to the academy in one month before the big even. We have to solve this problem before that, if Little Qian won’t return in time, she will miss a great opportunity.” The old woman spoke with a frown.
“Huh!” Mu Qing and two were surprised when they heard the old woman.”What kind of big event?”
“A big event is coming up in the Black Tortoise Empire, a secret realm is about to open up soon. All the young cultivators of the Black Tortoise Empire will take part in the event. The secret realm is opened once in fifty years, there are many good things inside the secret realm that can greatly help a cultivator. Even inheritances of the Ancient experts could found inside the secret realm.” The old woman spoke slowly.
Mu Qing and Li Dongmei were surprised and nodded lightly. Seems like, they had to handle the things before that.
“There are a few options to consider. We can go to the Cao Clan directly to discuss the situation. If Senior Hua willing to accompany us and the Cao Clan doesn’t have a strong backer, things will go smoothly. But if the Cao Clan really has a strong backer, then it will be complicated.” Mu Qing said after some pondering.
“Well, we will see when the time comes.” The old woman said faintly.
“Senior Hua, you come from afar, please have some rest.” Mu Qing said politely. After that, she left the hall with the old woman, leaving behind the mother and daughter to chat.
“Haha, blackie move faster, faster! haha.” Just as they come in the open space, they heard a laughter of a child.
A child around one and half year old was riding on a big black dog, the black dog was running around the open space. The child was holding the long furs of the dog as he cheered excitedly.
A few children were cheering for the child from the sideline.
The child suddenly exclaimed when he saw two people arriving from the front, he was moving straight to them.
“Ahhh, blackie stop, there are people ahead!” The child screamed, but the dog’s speed was a little fast, couldn’t stop it in time.
“Grandma, step aside!” The child screamed when he saw that one person was none other Mu Qing, his grandma.
“This child!” Mu Qing smiled wryly when she saw the little child who was riding on the black dog, it was none other than her good grandson.
She spoiled him a bit too much, no matter how much trouble he caused in the clan, nobody dare to scold him under the protection of her grandma.
