Chapter 695: Chapter 196: Ashes (Long Chapter)_2

Mr. Gu Qilin, the Gong Family Master Gong Qing, Mu Family Patriarch Mu Yi, and the Li Family’s Quasi Patriarch Li Qingsui, all sustained serious injuries in that battle...

They were the main pillars of the five major families.

The healers from the Security Committee, with rather ordinary skills, had no problem treating minor injuries. However, for injuries of this severity, they could hardly be of much aid, and furthermore... given the high status of the victims, even if they wanted to attempt a rescue, they would not be permitted to do so.

Federal VIPs were soon to arrive to administer treatment.

In the waiting time, Mu Family’s Great Elder Mu Zhong and the Fourth Elder occasionally cast complex glances towards where Mu Ya was.

Their looks conveyed both hope and guilt.

Mu Ya actually wanted to take a look herself.

Although the Elder Council had wronged her not long ago in the Incident on the Long Street, the Family Head had always taken great care of her.

During this hesitation,

she saw a familiar figure.

The figure was covered in frost and dust, having hurried back from the distant North Continent, with sleeves still carrying distinct traces of melted frost. Gong Zi, leading the Transcendents of the Gong Family, had reached his father’s side.

He had rushed back from the North Continent and received news of the mausoleum.

This sudden calamity had thrown the Gong Family into confusion, but fortunately, the Young Master had returned in time to unite people’s hearts.

"The spirit is unharmed... but the body has been heavily damaged."

Gong Zi released "Jialouluo," and with a high-pitched light chirp, a streak of Fire Bird circled at his fingertips as he carefully examined his father’s wounds, finding it strange. He had heard about the situation in the mausoleum, believing his father to have been injured by Gu Lushen.

That new Faction Master of the Gu Family had a terrifying killing power. "Moonlight" clearly possessed the force to penetrate the skin, yet his father’s internal organs had not suffered much damage as if protected by something... What was going on?

He looked to the other side, where the Mu Family Patriarch, Mu Yi, lay not far from his father.

The injuries on Mu Yi, still showing signs of melting snow and ice, were similar to his father’s... Could this have been a battle that occurred at the same time?

Both men facing Gu Lushen together?!

Gong Zi wanted to use "Jialouluo" to sense more, but found it somewhat disrespectful; thus, after exchanging a glance with the Mu Family’s Great Elder and getting a nod of permission, the bird shadow clung to Mu Yi’s skin.

He softly exclaimed.

Gong Zi’s expression grew complex, as he slowly extended two fingers to loosen the tightly bundled front collar of the Mu Family patriarch’s robe, then retrieved an ancient mirror with an intact frame... Upon seeing the ancient mirror, the expressions of the surrounding Mu Family Transcendents changed.

They appeared frightened, surprised, and heartbroken.

"Snow Mirror," Mu Family’s "Heirloom Mirror," had actually cracked open a fissure, with a very faint purple divine glow flowing between the cracks.

"The Snow Mirror... has been shattered."

Mu Zhong’s face turned pale as he muttered.

This streak of purple afterglow, dissolved into the world as the breeze passed by.

This was the power of the Wine God’s Throne.

The Snow Mirror... had been shattered by the Wine God’s Divine Power.

At that moment, Gong Zi understood why his father’s injuries were so peculiar; Mu Yi had overused the power of the Snow Mirror, linking the two together, to jointly bear the brunt of "Moonlight" and the strike from the Wine God’s Divine Power.

The mirror shattered.

Finally sparing them from more severe shock damage.

Had they not done so, both the extent of their injuries and the degree of the melting snow traces would not have been so consistent.

The Mu Family’s Transcendents also understood what their leader had done.

The Snow Mirror had resisted a strike from the divine force.

Thus it broke.

But even so... both were still struck with injuries severe enough to cause unconsciousness.

This time, the main instigator of the mausoleum anomaly was actually Gu Lushen; he had seized the five House Master Tokens, aiming to change the heavens for Changye, ensuring Mr. Gu’s demise would indicate the success of his plan.

Because he would try to control the five major families.

Starting with controlling the family heads of the five major families.

"Moonlight’s" force, while subtle, was eroding the shells of Gong Qing and Mu Yi, hard to remove.

The Great Elder asked in a hoarse voice, "Mr. Gong, the federal doctors might take a while longer to arrive... Do you perhaps have a way?"

Gong Qing thought for a moment.

"Perhaps... I can try something."

A very soft voice sounded from not far away.

Mu Ya approached the head of the family, extracted the healing seal "Scalpel," and softly said, "If it’s just about removing the residual essence, I think I can manage it."

...

...

Gu Nanfeng was very busy tonight.

Twenty-four hours ago, he was still in Da Du.

But now, he had arrived in Changye leading hundreds of people in a great procession!

Meticulously orchestrating this incident at the mausoleum, Gu Lushen had to ensure one thing... that was the complete unification of the Gu family.

Unification! The old faction must be eliminated!

So, upon entering the mausoleum, he had set up a backup plan.

A large number of Transcendents from the Gu Family’s New Faction, not entering the mausoleum, prepared to take advantage of the manpower shortage in Changye this time to rally and launch a fatal strike against the Gu Family’s Old Faction.

This plan was indeed clever; after losing contact within the mausoleum, a large number of Transcendents from the old faction chose to gather and enter the mausoleum.

This was the perfect opportunity for an assault.

If... Gu Nanfeng had not come back from Da Du.
