Chapter 755: 0756 Alarmed Muzi Clan (Second update)

Ye Zi had fallen asleep. He didn’t know how much suffering Ye Zi had endured in the Mu Clan, but Ye Qiu could guess—it must have been very difficult.

Seeing Ye Zi being humiliated in the Mu Clan, Ye Qiu did not regret killing Mu Canshou at all.

That night, he had killed two important figures of the Mu Clan and also rescued Ye Zi. The Mu Clan must have been quite bustling at that time.

Ye Qiu pondered how to handle the upcoming troubles.

He estimated that no one knew he had killed Mu Canshou, so the Mu Clan would not easily come knocking on his door. As for rescuing Ye Zi, the two people who were present had all been slain by his sword.

Logically speaking, there should have been no loopholes.

However, Ye Qiu always felt uneasy, "Could I have overlooked something?"

Ye Qiu paced around the room. If the Mu Clan did catch any trace, it certainly wouldn’t be good news for him, as he wasn’t strong enough to confront the Mu Clan head-on at this moment.

After all, the Mu Clan was a major ancient clan. Even with old Mo backing him up, it wasn’t much help as Old Mo’s identity must remain a secret.

Soon, Jin Shanshun came in, "Seeing the light on in this room, I knew you had come back."

Jin Shanshun then saw Ye Zi lying on the bed, "She is...?"

"My sister Ye Zi. I just made a trip to the Mu Clan."

Jin Shanshun looked bewildered, suddenly saying, "Don’t tell me the one who just killed people in the Mu Clan was you?"

"Yes, it was me," Ye Qiu directly acknowledged.

Jin Shanshun gave a thumbs up, admiring Ye Qiu’s daring and skill for rescuing someone from the Mu Clan.

Ye Qiu had survived among the hands of mythic Martial Artists, and now had managed to kill two more in the Mu Clan. Jin Shanshun had stopped being surprised, only admiring Ye Qiu as one of the most legendary Martial Artists he had ever seen.

"Shanshun, help me think. Did anyone else know I went out just now?"

"Should be no one. After I showed you that note, you hurried out. I didn’t even tell Old Mo," Jin Shanshun replied truthfully.

"Hm? The note... So that’s what I left behind here." Ye Qiu’s eyes flashed. No wonder he felt he had forgotten something. It was that note. "Who sent the note? Do you know?"

"By the clothing, it should be one of the Mu Clan’s servants," said Jin Shanshun, puzzled by why Ye Qiu cared about a servant from the Mu Clan.

"Ye brother? Are you hiding something from me?"

"If I said I also killed a prodigy of the Mu Clan, would you believe me?"

Jin Shanshun’s face changed, recalling the content of the note which had enraged Ye Qiu. Could it be that Ye Qiu went out just to kill that person?

Which of the Mu Clan’s prodigies was it?

If it was among the best of their prodigies, their situation was dangerous. After all, angering the Mu Clan and mobilizing their entire power, even Ye Qiu, as forceful as he was, could not reverse the entire situation.

"Ye brother, who did you kill?" Jin Shanshun felt it was necessary to clarify to prepare for the worst, which meant bearing the Mu Clan’s wrath at whatever level.

"Mu Canshou!"

These three words felt like a bucket of ice water dumped over Jin Shanshun’s head. Mu Canshou was ranked second among the Mu Clan’s prodigies, second only to Mu Cannan. By killing him, Ye Qiu was directly challenging the entire Mu Clan.

Things were bad...

"Ye brother, in no time, the Mu Clan will surely find out Mu Canshou sent the note here. By following the vine to get to the melon, they could guess it’s related to you."

Jin Shanshun was correct. Ye Qiu realized this fact. The person who delivered the note was now untraceable, and he couldn’t possibly go back to the Mu Clan to kill more. Two had already died within the clan, which was an outright provocation. There was no way they would neglect their defenses now. It would surely be impregnable with no return.

"Brother Ye, in my opinion, we must steadfastly deny any involvement no matter how angry the Mu clan gets," Jin Shanshun expressed with some concern.

"No worries, I will make a trip to Yun Shang Palace. This time, we might need the support of Yun Shang Palace to get through the difficulty," Ye Qiu instructed, then quickly left the room.

The next day.

The commotion caused by the Mu clan the day before had spread throughout all the ancient clans.

"Two people died? And a maid went missing?"

"Someone actually broke into the clan grounds? The Mu clan’s warriors are too careless."

"In my opinion, the Mu clan thinks they’re above everyone, which is why no one dares target them. Now, someone took advantage of their vulnerability."

Opinions varied, but the impact of the incident brought quite a bit of negative publicity to the Mu clan.

The Mu clan.

"What’s the situation with the missing maid?" Clan Leader Mu Tianxing asked.

Standing before him was a respectful elder, the steward of the Mu clan, who had been Ye Zi’s superior and had always kept an eye on Ye Zi.

The elder steward said, "This wretched girl originally looked down upon young master Mu Canshou, but later the second lady took a fancy to her, and she was assigned by young master Mu Canshou to serve the second lady."

The so-called second lady was naturally Mu Tianxing’s second wife, who was also Mu Canshou’s mother.

In the ancient lands, polygamy was very common. The leaders of the ancient clans often had multiple wives and numerous children, and Mu Canshou was one of the more prominent among Mu Tianxing’s many children, second only to Mu Cannan.

"I want to know the true identity of this maid."

The steward trembled, terrified by Clan Leader Mu Tianxing’s authority, and immediately said, "Your servant only knows that this maid was brought by young master Mu Canshou. As for her exact identity, I truly do not know; all I know is she has some strength, but it is very weak and poses no threat."

"If you don’t know, then go find Mu Canshou for me immediately!" Mu Tianxing commanded angrily.

"Your servant will go right now. Please calm your anger, Clan Leader." The old steward quickly left to find Mu Canshou’s residence.

Not five minutes later, the steward appeared again, head bowed, reporting, "My lord, young master Mu Canshou is not there."

"What?" Mu Tianxing’s eyebrows furrowed.

"The servants said that young master Mu Canshou went out last night and has not returned all night. When he left, he even took a clan uncle with him," said the steward.

Mu Tianxing acknowledged slightly, knowing that with a Mythic Realm practitioner by Mu Canshou’s side, there should be no major issues.

Mu Tianxing was not too concerned and instructed that Mu Canshou should see him immediately upon his return.

However, four days later, Mu Canshou had still not returned to the Mu clan.

Mu Canshou’s mother rushed to Mu Tianxing weeping, claiming she had a dream that her son was already dead.

"Foolish, dreams don’t come true," Mu Tianxing did not take it seriously and sent people to look for Mu Canshou.

Three more days passed, and Mu Tianxing realized the severity of the situation. Mu Canshou had disappeared as if vanishing into thin air. He immediately ordered an investigation into what had happened on the day Mu Canshou disappeared.

Soon, a servant voluntarily came forward to Mu Tianxing.

"Mu Canshou had you send a piece of paper to Ye Qiu?"

"Yes, my lord."

Mu Tianxing’s expression changed: "Could my son’s disappearance be related to him?" He thought of the now prominent Ye Qiu in the ancient lands, his face growing cold.
