Chapter 5—Mu Hui.
"Liu Ying, are you sure that Mu Clan will agree?" A soft, melodious voice echoed through the room, as a beautiful young lady entered.
She seemed to be around 16 years old with white porcelain skin, jet black long hair with strings of silver hair in between.
An oval shape face framing slender eyebrows, soft silver eyes, straight sharp nose, ruby lips, and sharp jawline with ample curves on the front and back, a slim waist, her strong long legs show glimpse of exercises.
She stands at 5.9 feet tall in plain silver robe with ice-cold temperament, aura of a high authority person, it is enhanced even more by silver robe and her silver eyes.
"Her beauty is on whole another level compared to Liu Ying."
"She is numberone of Seven butterflies and also the 12th rank on JadeBeautieslist and 414th on Mightybeautieslist."
"I want to marry her."
"Idiot, didn't you say that you wanted to marry Liu Ying before?"
"Whe..n did I… say. …that?"
"…"
"…"
Noise erupted once again, as fans of Mu Hui began to chit-chat. Some of Mu Hui's crazy fans couldn't tolerate as they continued.
"Why does she support Mu Chen all the time?"
"She is very beautiful, so beautiful that almost all men would fall at her feet so why does she go after trash Mu Chen."
"…"
"…"
Female Mu Clan members got jealous and annoyed at Mu Hui but they are internally happy as they felt she has no brain since she always goes after Mu Chen.
'How can someone be so beautiful,' Liu Ying got jealous of seeing Mu Hui, who is more beautiful than her—many times above her.
Seeing her cousin's jealous look, Zhen Jie glanced at Mu Hui and wondered as he licked his lips, 'What would her soft skin be like when sliced? Her voice is so heavenly, it would give me thrill if she shouts in pain.'
He started to select his torture method—the best one possible in his mind, which would make her scream nonstop, as he liked her voice.
[ Ding! Female Protagonist of Mu Chen has been detected. ]

A system panel popped up in front of Zhen Jie.
'This is so much more costly than Mu Chen's info. I do like her, but that doesn't mean I will spend so much on her.' He licked his lips, as he spent 10,000 Villain points and 100 Luck Points.
[ Name: Mu Hui

Background: Adopted child of Mu Patriarch
Class: Female Protagonist of Mu Chen {Broken!!}
Luck Level: Green {Broken!!}

'What is going on? What does broken mean?' He asked the system in his mind, not understanding what happened.
System stayed silent for few moments and replied in its regular cold tone, "All heroines and close ones get their luck from child of destiny. But once they lose their connections with child of destiny, their luck would cut off and will not increase anymore."
'What does it mean to lose connection?' He continued to ask, as his eyebrow jerked in annoyance not understanding system's answer.
'Losing connection, simply means getting hated by child of destiny like enemy, or child of destiny views them as stranger, or getting separated from each other's entire life and decided to not meet each other again.' System simplified for him.
'So, Mu Chen doesn't care about her?' He asked with disbelief for confirmation.
'Looks…. like it.' System confirmed in its cold tone but even its tone had certain bewilderment.
"Kekeke," Zhen Jie laughed out loud, feeling Mu Chen interesting.
He was not interested in such beautiful women!
The wicked grin of Zhen Jie brought shivers to everyone, even Mu Patriarch felt what was wrong with this young sect master.
"Cough!! Young Sect master." Le Yang coughed, reminding that he should be mindful of people around him.
Though it might seem the chat between Zhen Jie and system took place for few minutes, it was actually only one second.
A practitioner after entering rank 1 irrespective of path can speed up thoughts. It can reach thousands of thoughts in one second.
'Tch!' Zhen Jie clicked his tongue, glancing at the Mu Hui who is glancing at him coldly, clearly disgust visible in her eyes.
'You will be mine to torture.' He gave her a kind smile, which he felt best.
'Who smiles like that?' Mu Hui's eyes twitched looking at his creepy smile. Not bearing to look anymore she turned her head to Liu Ying as she sat next to Mu Patriarch, a servant placed a new chair between throne chair and first elder chair which is on right side.
"Mu Hui, can an adopted daughter like you interfere in the decisions of Mu Clan?" Liu Ying asked sternly, wanting to irritate Mu Hui.
"I cannot but, I want to confirm your decision so that you won't regret in the future." Mu Hui calmly replied, placing her arms on the armrest of chair.
"Yes, I have decided to dismiss the contract, Mu Chen is not worthy of me." Liu Ying said, as Zhen Jie patted her hand for confidence.
She was afraid that they would disagree as Mu Clan paid a lot in exchange for this marriage contract.
The elders sitting on the chairs can no longer sit still after hearing Liu Ying's confirmation, they had a slight hope that they came for another matter.
"Do you even remember how you Liu clan became one of four clans of Xi City?" Mu Clan's first elder—sitting on chair right next to Mu Hui, shouted, his eyes opened wide in anger.
"We Mu Clan, one of four clans fell to second rate clan while you grew to your peak. Isn't this because of our help." Third elder sitting on the right corner of Mu Patriarch said in disbelief as he felt Liu clan would hit them so hard.
"Previous elders of Mu Clan all died protecting your Liu Clan." Second elder sitting in middle of first elder and third elder said furiously, his voice echoed throughout the Mu Clan courtyard.
"Liu Clan…." Fourth elder, sitting on next left chair to Mu Patriarch was cut off by Zhen Jie as he said calmly, "What is your decision, patriarch?" he looked directly into Mu patriarch's eyes.
Le Yang pulled out a sword from his space ring and started looking at it, as if not caring about everything in room.
This action silenced everyone in the room, making them tense. The sword was emitting high aura pressure, making everyone feel suffocated.
Zhen Jie's eyes were cruel and ruthless, looking at Le Yang, Mu Patriarch made his decision.
"Okay, I agree." Patriarch said, feeling crushed, as he laid back on his chair with his back bent more than usual.
He and Mu Clan could only keep their face bent in the public with this decision.
He could only agree with holy sword sect's demand. Forget about Holy Sword sect, even just Le Yang in front of them is enough to kill entire Mu Clan.
Patriarch was forced to accept the humiliation, since Le Yang was going to massacre entire Mu Clan if he didn't accept!
"How can you agree to this patriarch?"
"You are unfit to be patriarch, Great elder is better than you."
"…"
"…"
Elders were calm as they knew why patriarch made that decision but not idiotic members of Mu Clan as they shouted out their opinions.
Out of all the Mu clansmen, old man sitting in a right corner, had the most severe reaction.
He shouted furiously, "How dare you, puny ma...." but he was cut short as Le Yang hummed, "Hmm."
Soon a huge pressure was put on entire room as red aura almost one meter thick surrounded Le Yang's entire body.
"Don't think that I, Le Yang would be silent, when you ants point your fingers at me. You all are in front of a rank five energy path cultivator." Le Yang said, while unsheathing his knife.
Crack!
Crack!
Chairs cracked as some Mu Clan members fell to ground, even the rank3BlueStone on the floor shattered where he stood and continued to expand through the room as sword was surrounded by flames.
Mu Patriarch and elders stood up, wanting to beg for forgiveness.
Woosh!
Le Yang did a horizontal strike with his burning sword; a wave of fire emitted out from sword and rushed towards the old man.
"No!!"
"Forgive us!!"
Many begged for mercy as they were in between fire wave and old man, their bodies caught fire!
"Grandpa.."
"Mom…"
"Sister.."
"…."
Everyone had tears in their eyes as their relatives were burning in front of them.
"No one moves forward, if you do everyone dies." Mu Patriarch said, with tears falling from his eyes.
He knew that Le Yang was waiting for Mu Clan to jump in the fire to save their relatives and get furious so he could continue to kill.
In burning clan members, there were his youngest son and his fifth wife. It hurts but he could only kneel to prevent massacre of entire clan!
Grr!
Grr!
Everyone who stood in between the old man and Le Yang were burned to death along with that old man, turned to ash and flew into air!
More than 100 have been killed in one strike!
"Forgive us, forgive us." Mu Patriarch and elders knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Beg for mercy." Mu Patriarch shouted, looking at people still standing in tears, and crying—majority of them had not seen actual blood.
Thud!
Thud!
Everyone in the room began kneeling down, not daring to waste time.
Mu Hui crushed the chair armrest seeing Mu patriarch kneeling.
"Cousin, it's too much." Liu Ying shouted out loud, seeing the ruthlessness of grand elder for first time and, entire Mu Clan kneeling down, except Mu Hui.
She came just for breaking marriage contract, not for massacre!
"No, no. They have to learn about Holy Sword sect's power." Zhen Jie said with grin, he flexed his fingers up and down as he was getting excited seeing crying faces!
"Yes, young lady Liu Ying, you are going to become grand elder of holy sword sect, you have to keep in mind that you represent the face of sect." Le Yang said calmly, teaching about face and power!
'So, this is the power.' Mu Yang, the eldest young master of Mu Clan finally witnessed the actualpower.
'Should I torture her?' Zhen Jie looked at the angry Mu Hui who was still standing up.
'No, I don't want Liu Yang to see and tell my behavior to my parents. They still believe that my Skin Ripper name is given by my enemies to annoy me.' He mused, deciding about his actions.
'Who is that old man?' Mu Hui was still musing over the events passed.
"I never seen him in Mu Clan." She muttered doubtfully, and glanced over at Zhen Jie who was lost in thought in his chair; Liu Ying was still in shock looking at burned area; Le Yang sat back on chair, grinning.
She glanced at the old man spot and walked over there.
"Why doesn't she kneel?" Someone asked fearfully, afraid that Le Yang would kill them since she was walking around.
"She is member of Devil-Slaying organization, Holy sword sect cannot touch her."
"Cannot she help Mu Clan then?"
"No, devil-slaying organization protects only their members, not their clans."
"Such a pity."
Mu Clansmen whispered to each other in hope of help from Mu Hui.
This!
Body colored metal residue with some inscriptions were found by Mu Hui.
"This is a puppet." Mu Hui shouted in anger, looking at the small burnt fragments of puppet in old man's place.
Glancing at the small pea sized burned metal piece in her hands, Mu patriarch and elders stayed silent with eyes closed.
"Grand elder, Young sect master, Liu Ying, have you seen that? it wasn't a person. It was puppet! Someone is trying to harm Mu Clan, please let us go!" A lady shouted feeling pain in her knees, hope in her dried, tearful eyes, expecting them to let Mu clan go.
They didn't dare stand up without getting their mercy!
"Haha, what do you say Mu Patriarch?" Zhen Jie said, looking excited for his reply.
Mu Hui also looked over; Mu Clan is getting toyed with. That old man is a puppet, controlled by someone, due to which almost 100 people died and entire Mu Clan knelt down with utter humiliation!
"Hahaha, you pathetic fools, you really don't think Mu patriarch doesn't know? Even the elders knew about it" Le Yang said laughingly, glanced over entire room with amusement.
Everyone looked over at Mu Patriarch and elders with shock. Liu Ying and Mu Hui were also in disbelief!
"I, and all the elders, already knew about the puppet the moment it entered the room and took the seat." Mu Patriarch replied, feeling drained, his reply silenced the room.
Everyone understood that Holy Sword Sect already prepared to kill and humiliate them from the beginning. Even though they aren't wrong, they have to be silent!
This is the world where power rules, even knowing they aren't wrong, they have to bear the pain to survive!
