“Is this man Wu Kuang, the disciple of the Alliance Master?” The elders of the Three Great Palaces all furrowed their brows.

The master of the Soul Covenant had not intervened in the struggle between the Three Great Palaces and the Soul Hall, seemingly regarding such wars as mere mundane matters, unworthy of their attention.

However, his disciple represented the younger generation of the Soul Covenant. He was bound to get involved in the confrontation between the two camps. Not to mention his strength, but his sensitive identity alone left the Three Great Palaces uncertain of how to proceed.

In short, even if this person were to commit the most outrageous acts, the Three Great Palaces would dare not rashly make a move!

Mu Qingyi naturally still harbored unvented anger, but this man’s appearance was far more troublesome than the emergence of any other Heroic level powerhouses.

“This is a grudge between Mo Ling and me. I hope you will not interfere,” Mu Qingyi said.

“I have no desire to interfere either, but my master’s orders are absolute. At least until a suitable new Xiong Mo candidate is found, he must not die,” Emperor Wu Kuang said.

Emperor Wu Kuang’s words made Xiong Mo Moling’s face turn ugly. What did he mean by not having found a suitable candidate yet? Was the Alliance Master already planning to replace him?

“Emperor, I, Mo Ling, am also acting under orders…” At this point, naturally, Mo Ling had to bring up the Empress.

Emperor Wu Kuang turned and looked at Xiong Mo Moling with a calm gaze, “Whose orders are you following? My master has not been in Wanxiang Realm for many years.”

Mo Ling was at a loss for words. His statement was obviously implying to Emperor Wu Kuang that it was the Empress who wanted Mu Qingyi dealt with. But Wu Kuang’s retort was clearly shifting the blame onto him!

If it were before, Mo Ling would have accepted the blame, since he had long held a grudge against Mu Qingyi. However, now that Mu Qingyi’s Crowned Phoenix King had revived and the White Tiger’s strength was so formidable, without any protection, he would definitely be sought out by Mu Qingyi for vengeance.

“As long as I am in Wanxiang Realm, Mo Ling shall have no place here. Regardless of the Alliance Master’s orders, after I take his life, I will go plead for the Alliance Master’s forgiveness,” Mu Qingyi said coldly.

“This…” Wu Kuang did not expect Mu Qingyi to be so resolute, even daring to defy the Alliance Master’s orders.

But then again, now that Mu Qingyi’s strength far surpassed Mo Ling, and given the hatred between Mu Qingyi and Mo Ling, they were surely like fire and water. If one had to choose…

“If you wish to stop me, you can try,” Mu Qingyi said without much regard for Wu Kuang’s feelings.

Mu Qingyi was very aware that her true enemy was not Mo Ling, but the Empress, who already loomed over everything.

She knew she couldn’t possibly contend with the Empress’s vast forces right now. But she was determined not to be meek and swallowed her anger. By taking such a firm stance against Mo Ling, she intended to make it clear to this woman that provoking her would have dire consequences!

At this moment, the lack of appearance from other Heroic level powerhouses, to a certain extent, proved that the Empress, for the sake of preserving her own reputation, was not planning to directly help Mo Ling.

Wu Kuang’s expression stiffened, seemingly not expecting his own face to be valued so little.

However, it also indicated just how deep Mu Qingyi’s wrath was. With her current level of strength, she indeed had little need to fear much.

Regarding the Alliance Master, actually, Wu Kuang was merely using his name for deterrence. In truth, the Alliance Master would not really get involved in this affair, and even if he did, he would surely give some consideration to King Mu’s face and deal with it leniently.

Often, the young are troublesome. The Empress can cruelly prey on the Mu Clan without impediment, but the Alliance Master lived in that era, knowing its prosperity and strength and perhaps also owing debts of gratitude to the Mu Clan. Therefore, he could not possibly act against it.

“It seems Miss Mu is a bit paranoid now. Any grudges should not be settled at this time. Mo Ling cannot be killed, and Miss Mu cannot let go of her hatred. Thus, let the matter be settled by the most ancient form of duel,” Wu Kuang suggested.

“Emperor, this must not be done!” As soon as he heard of the duel, Mo Ling’s face darkened!

A duel would mean a fight between two parties with no one else allowed to intervene or interfere. This was even worse than being ignored. Once a duel began, Mo Ling would have to fight Mu Qingyi. What was the difference between that and handing over his head? The difference was that this method of death was more grand, more formal.

A hint of confusion appeared in Mu Qingyi’s eyes. The duel was undeniably in her favor. Wu Kuang suggesting a duel might as well just step aside. Why bother saying so much in vain?

“Do not rush.” Emperor Wu Kuang glanced at the pale and sweating Mo Ling, then turned his gaze back to Mu Qingyi, continuing, “I will also participate in this duel. If Miss Mu can kill Mo Ling while I am involved, then it shall be Miss Mu avenging herself by her own ability, and I will have fulfilled my duty without fear of my master’s blame. But if Miss Mu cannot kill Mo Ling in the duel, then please put this grudge aside for the time being. Both of you are influential figures in Wanxiang Realm, and the loss of any one is a loss to our human domain.”

At Wu Kuang’s words, the crowd was momentarily in an uproar.

Both the Three Great Palaces and the Soul Covenant had not anticipated Wu Kuang proposing such a solution. Did Emperor Wu Kuang truly possess such confidence to withstand Mu Qingyi, who now commanded the Crowned Phoenix King and the White Tiger?

It was known that Mu Qingyi’s current strength could only potentially be matched by a Xiong Shou.

“Of course, it would be unfair to Miss Mu for Mo Ling and I to join as two against one. Miss Mu may select any trustworthy Heroic level powerhouse as her partner against Mo Ling and me in a two-on-two duel,” Wu Kuang continued.

As the crowd was already struck with amazement, Wu Kuang’s following words stirred an even more astonishing wave of shock through both camps!

The fact that Wu Kuang was willing to join forces with Mo Ling to battle against Mu Qingyi had already startled the two camps about the Emperor’s strength. And now, Wu Kuang was even permitting Mu Qingyi to invite another strong warrior to join her!

“`

Mo Ling’s Taie Giant would only tie with the White Tiger at best. If Wu Kuang wanted Mo Ling to live, he would need to possess a Dominator-level creature capable of withstanding the Crowned Phoenix King!

By proposing to join the decisive battle, Wu Kuang was undoubtedly telling everyone present that he was a strong one with Dominator level power.

And his next statement made it even clearer that the strength he possessed was far more than just a simple Dominator level!

This logical deduction was straightforward, and how could the people of the Three Great Palaces not understand it?

However, the result of this deduction was undoubtedly a devastating blow to the Three Great Palaces!

They had not easily gained the aid of Mu Qingyi, who was powerful enough to contend with the Heroic Throne, which greatly expanded their advantage in the war against the Soul Covenant.

Chu Fangchen, Chao Lengchuan, and Liu Binglan had all become strong ones capable of holding their own, qualifying the Three Great Palaces to battle with the top level of the Soul Covenant.

However, it seemed that the growth in strength was not just one-sided. While the Three Great Palaces continually produced strong ones, the Soul Covenant was also breeding strong ones of this caliber.

Even if the Three Great Palaces were mentally prepared, they never expected Emperor Wu Kuang to be this powerful!

“Are you certain?” Mu Qingyi asked, looking into Emperor Wu Kuang’s confident eyes.

Emperor Wu Kuang nodded and said, “Didn’t Miss Mu say, if I want to stop her, just try? Then, I shall give it a try.”

“Alright, as you say,” Mu Qingyi replied.

“Then, five days later, on the Wanxiang Plain east of Wanxiang City,” Emperor Wu Kuang directly stated the time and place of the duel.

Mu Qingyi just nodded, saying no more.

Seeing that Mu Qingyi had agreed to the duel, Wu Kuang also wore a smile. He turned to glance at Mo Ling, whose complexion was still not great, and spoke slowly, “What’s the matter? You don’t have confidence in me?”

“Not at all, not at all,” Mo Ling hastily smiled.

Truth be told, Mo Ling really lacked confidence. Wu Kuang, after all, was of the younger generation. He had to be at least as powerful as Mu Qingyi to possibly save his life, because the second person Mu Qingyi called was almost certainly Chu Fangchen.

Although Emperor Wu Kuang was rumored to be very strong, even stronger than himself, Mo Ling doubted whether Wu Kuang truly had power comparable to the current Mu Qingyi.

What was most critical was that this duel was clearly aimed at his life. If Wu Kuang could not beat Mu Qingyi and stepped aside, Mo Ling would surely die, while Wu Kuang himself would definitely not have any issues. In the end, he would only have to say he had tried his best…

Now, Mo Ling could only hope that Wu Kuang could indeed confront Mu Qingyi; otherwise, his life was genuinely in jeopardy.

“Then, Miss Mu, should you clean up the Queen’s Palace a bit? After all, this is what your ancestors left behind, and it’s quite bloody and wrecked…” Emperor Wu Kuang said.

Mu Qingyi did not want to say more and glanced at the palace maids and maidens who had hidden themselves far away.

Seeing the battle was over and the Queen’s anger had subsided, these maids, servants, and maidens smartly and pleasingly ran back to take care of the corpses and debris of the Queen’s Palace.

“It turns out so many people have come. It seems the day of the duel will be quite lively,” Emperor Wu Kuang observed the surroundings, including the Three Great Palaces, Soul Covenant, and Neutral Forces, and said with composure.

The members of the Soul Covenant and Neutral Forces all politely saluted him, speaking words of flattery.

Wu Kuang didn’t pay them any attention, but his gaze fell on the faction of the Three Great Palaces. Suddenly, a gleam flickered in his eyes, and with a smile, he said, “Miss Ye, you are here too. I was just about to look for you.”

As he spoke, Wu Kuang was already walking towards the Soul Hall’s camp, seemingly ignoring the tense situation between the Three Great Palaces and the Soul Covenant!

However, Wu Kuang’s words made everyone’s eyes focus on Ye Qingzi!

There had been rumors that Chu Fangchen’s woman, Ye Qingzi, was being harassed by someone. People thought that someone was tired of living, but no one expected that person to be Emperor Wu Kuang!

In the midst of the Soul Hall crowd, Ye Qingzi frowned when she saw Wu Kuang brazenly walking over.

But just then, a familiar and handsome figure approached beside Ye Qingzi, skillfully wrapped his arm around her waist, and embraced her…

Ye Qingzi was startled at first, then a smile appeared on her face, giving the man, who picked just the right time to show up, a coquettish look.

And this thick-skinned guy just gave Ye Qingzi a carefree smile, then looked indifferently at the man approaching her! (to be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (NovelFire.net) to cast your recommendation votes and monthly tickets, your support is my biggest driving force.)
