"Listen to me, everyone!"
Just as the crowd was buzzing with discussion, an aged voice rang out from outside the hall.
"Old Master Qin!"
Seeing the figure entering the hall, Mu Linchen smiled slightly, breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly went to greet him.
"Everyone, I understand your feelings. This time, Shao Mingyu is clearly targeting the Qin and Mu families. Our two families must join forces completely."
Qin Shiyu said in a hoarse voice, "That Shao Mingyu is at the sixth level of the Spirit Acupoint Realm, has opened his vital acupoint, and is an elder of the Saint Pill Sect. He also has multiple methods. I know I am no match for him." "
Moreover, Shao Mingyu is a top-grade Xuan Weapon Master. He must have some confidants within the Saint Pill Sect. If he were to send them here, the situation would become even more troublesome." After all,
Qin Shiyu had led the Qin family for two generations and was considered the strongest and most respected patriarch in the entire Beiyun City.
Hearing this, the crowd gradually quieted down.
The Mu family had indeed been making continuous progress during this period, but even with the Qin family's alliance, they were only on par with the Wang and Diao families, not evenly matched.
However, with the addition of Shao Mingyu, an elder of the Saint Pill Sect, and his status as a top-grade Xuan weapon master, the outcome becomes quite different.
"So, according to Old Master Qin, we're just going to sit and wait to die?"
"Sitting and waiting to die is certainly not an option, but we can make thorough preparations."
Qin Shiyu chuckled. "Shao Mingyu is a top-grade Xuan weapon master, and doesn't your Qin family also have one?"
As Qin Shiyu finished speaking, everyone looked at Qi Yufeng.
Now, after recovering during this period, Qi Yufeng is already capable of refining high-grade Xuan weapons, a position that makes him arguably the best in Beiyun City.
"Mr. Qi can refine high-grade Xuan weapons; with the help of that brat Mu Yun, he'll probably be able to refine top-grade Xuan weapons soon too!"
Qin Shiyu wasn't just making wild guesses.
Back then, Qi Yufeng, at a young age, was able to refine high-grade Xuan weapons, earning him the title of Beiyun City's number one weapon-refining genius.
If it weren't for that incident, Qi Yufeng would already be able to refine top-grade Xuan weapons by now.
He could even forge the coveted Earth-grade artifacts.
"I'm confident I can forge a top-grade Xuan artifact within half a month," Qi Yufeng said confidently and spiritedly.
Seeing Qi Yufeng's confidence, Qin Shiyu looked at Mu Yun with admiration.
Mu Yun had cured him of more than ten years of despondency, and his mentality had changed so quickly. This Mu Yun really had some skills.
"In that case, we can create a lot of momentum. Even the Qi family can't produce a top-grade Xuan artifact master. At that time, more and more martial artists will surely flock to the Mu family."
"That's right!"
"Yes,
and it's not just martial artists, but also some weapon refiners will flock to our Mu family."
"Selecting from these people will give our Mu family another powerful force."
The Mu family doesn't lack money now, but it lacks strong strength.
"Moreover, the Diao family and the Wang family will definitely attack our two families soon. We can set up a trap for them!"
"Set up a trap? What kind of trap?" Mu Linchen was a little puzzled.
"Hehe... Mu Yun is almost twenty, and Yao'er is at the age where marriage should be discussed. I think we should set up a wedding ceremony!"
A wedding ceremony?
"That's right!" Qin Shiyu laughed. "On the wedding day, our Qin family and the Mu family will all gather together. The Wang family and the Diao family will definitely think that our two families will lower their guard and will definitely make a move. At that time..."
"It is indeed a solution, but..."
Mu Linchen looked at Mu Yun and Qin Mengyao with some worry.
After all, their marriage is a big deal. Using this as bait to get the Wang family and the Diao family to make a move, even if they win, will still have a negative impact on their marriage.
"Hehe... Godfather, I can accept this. A surprise attack will surely throw the Wang and Diao families into a panic. Then, as long as we deal with the Diao and Wang families, even if Shao Mingyu brings many powerful experts, it will be useless!"
"Grandpa, I can accept this too."
"But..."
"Mu Linchen, why are you so hesitant? You're not even as good as the two children." Qin Shiyu frowned. "You must understand, this time we've completely broken ties with Shao Mingyu. It's either him or us!"
"Alright!"
Finally, Mu Linchen made his decision.
This time, it was time to make a decision.
Meanwhile, the Diao and Wang families were also secretly making preparations.
Recently, the people of Beiyun City noticed that the atmosphere in the entire city had become unusually different.
Transactions and buying and selling in some shops and markets had become very different from usual.
And half a month later, an explosive piece of news was released within the Mu family.
Qi Yufeng, the guest elder of the Mu family, had successfully refined a top-grade Xuan weapon and decided to put it up for auction.
Not only that, Qi Yufeng also announced that he was preparing to recruit some disciples, regardless of status or strength. As long as they were suitable, he was willing to train them, and the Mu family would bear all the training costs.
Then, ten days later, the Mu family released another explosive piece of news.
A month later, Mu Yun, the young patriarch of the Mu family
, would hold a wedding with Qin Mengyao, the young lady of the Qin family.
Upon hearing this news, all the young geniuses in Beiyun City burst into tears.
Qin Mengyao had always been recognized as the most talented and beautiful woman in Beiyun City, but unfortunately, she died young.
However, the cure of her cold poison had rekindled the hopes of those lamenting geniuses; they all harbored feelings for Qin Mengyao.
But this news shattered their hopes.
Challenge Mu Yun?
What a joke!
They clearly remembered Shao Ming's pathetic state at the Mu family's gate that day.
They initially thought it was the Mu family guards who had attacked, but later they heard that it was Mu Yun who had personally beaten him.
The former good-for-nothing, now a genius.
In the entire Northern Cloud City, only Wang Qingfeng can compare to Mu Yun in his current form.
Wang Qingfeng, the eldest young master of the Wang family, is the number one genius of Northern Cloud City and the head of the three great instructors of Northern Cloud Academy.
Recently, news of Mu Yun has been everywhere, and Wang Qingfeng has been somewhat overlooked.
Inside a secret room in the Wang family compound…
Wang Qingfeng sat cross-legged, eyes slightly closed, beads of sweat trickling from his forehead…
"Hoo…"
After a long while, he exhaled a breath of stale air and slowly opened his eyes.
"The first level of the Spiritual Acupoint Realm, the peak. To break through to the second level, to force the true essence of the Hegu acupoints in both hands to the Neiguan acupoints, is still quite difficult!"
With some dissatisfaction on his face, Wang Qingfeng stood up helplessly.
A month ago, he had already broken through to the first level of the Spiritual Acupoint Realm. For the past month, he had been trying to break through the Neiguan acupoints to enter the second level, but he had not been able to get the hang of it.
"However, I entered the Spiritual Acupoint Realm step by step. Unlike that good-for-nothing Shao Ming, who still thinks he is a disciple of the Holy Pill Sect, high and mighty, but he is just a piece of trash."
Knock knock knock…
The door was suddenly knocked, and a voice came in.
"Young Master, I just received news that in a month, Mu Yun is going to… is going to hold a wedding with Qin Mengyao of the Qin family…"
What!
Hearing this, Wang Qingfeng suddenly stood up, his face showing surprise, anger, and hatred.
His face gradually distorted with overwhelming emotion.
"Mu Yun… your wedding will become your funeral!"
The chilling words fell, and Wang Qingfeng's lips curled into a smile.
It would be quite interesting to turn Mu Yun's wedding day into his own.
> Meanwhile, in the Diao family hall, Wang Dongyu, Diao Zhenyun, Mu Fengyuan, Mu Fengqing, and others gathered.
Shao Mingyu was also present.
However, standing beside Shao Mingyu were more than a dozen Spirit Aperture Realm martial artists.
Most of these were at the third or fourth level of the Spirit Aperture Realm.
The leader was tall, sallow-faced and thin, with cloudy eyes; however, his gaze, when fixed on someone, felt like a lump in their throat, making them feel uncomfortable.
"This is Elder Geng Yu. He is a good friend of mine in the Holy Pill Sect. He has come to assist me in helping you defeat the Mu and Qin families."
Upon hearing Shao Mingyu's words, Wang Dongyu and the others greeted him politely. However, Geng Yu had a deadpan expression and his slight smile looked worse than crying.
"The Mu family is holding their wedding now, and we can take this opportunity to wipe out both the Mu and Qin families in one fell swoop,"
Shao Mingyu began. "The wedding is in ten days. During these ten days, you must be fully prepared. If any side runs into trouble, don't blame me for turning my back on you." "
Of course!" Wang Dongyu said. "Elder Shao, there's just one thing I don't understand. What if this wedding is just a trap set by the Mu family to lure us in? What should we do?"
"Hmph, trash!"
Before Shao Mingyu could speak, Geng Yu, who had been wearing a deadpan expression, sneered. "Even if they set up an ambush, with your Diao and Wang families, plus the experts I brought, the Mu and Qin families are nothing to worry about."
"Yes, yes!"
Wang Dongyu wiped his sweat and said nothing more.
These past few days, he had witnessed Shao Mingyu's ruthlessness.
And this Geng Yu, though seemingly as stiff as a mummy, was ten times more ruthless than Shao Mingyu.
These two were people he couldn't afford to offend.
"That's settled then. Elder Geng will discuss the specific arrangements with you. You may leave now."
Shao Mingyu waved his hand, somewhat impatiently.
Soon, only Shao Mingyu and Geng Yu remained in the hall.
"Geng Yu, you heartless bastard, tell me, why did you come this time?"
Looking at Geng Yu, Shao Mingyu felt a chill run down his spine. This guy was notoriously ruthless in the Holy Pill Sect.
He hadn't originally intended for Geng Yu to be involved, but Geng Yu had volunteered. There was definitely something fishy going on.
Shao Mingyu remained wary of Geng Yu. If
Geng Yu were to tamper with the plan, it could ultimately ruin everything.
He couldn't afford to take the risk!
