CONTRARY

CHAPTER 201 - THE ANOMALY OF YELLOWGRASS

Fourth uncle, can you tell me what happened when I was cursed?

Mu Han, who was helping to straighten out the bed, was surprised by Mu Xuan's silence. At this moment, he was even more surprised by Mu Xuan's questions about the past.

Furthermore, Liu Rong and the others didn't mention what had happened that year to Mu Xuan on their own. It was obvious that they didn't want Mu Xuan to know that he had taken the initiative to ask, but he didn't know what to do.

Noticing that Mu Han was unwilling to talk about the past, Mu Xuan asked doubtfully, Fourth Uncle, is there something that you don't want me to know? Now I'm curious! Why have you never mentioned what happened back then to me? Furthermore, why have you been hiding from Immortal Ancient Town for so many years?"

My father and mother, why did they not want to make things difficult for you and share my burden? What did you and the Monster race have to do with each other from the start? What exactly is your relationship?

Mu Xuan asked all the questions in his mind in a row, but the more he asked, the more shocked Mu Han became. He didn't expect Mu Xuan to have so many doubts in his heart. He didn't know whether he should know or not.

Thinking that Mu Xuan could now take charge of his own affairs, it was time for him to know some things. However, he was unwilling to talk about them.

However, since he had decided to tell him, he shouldn't have any concerns. He said to Mu Xuan, Wash your face first, I will go get your mother, your father, and the others. I will also make arrangements to tell you all of your doubts!

Nodding his head, Mu Xuan finally agreed. He also understood that it wasn't because that person didn't want to talk to him, but because they didn't want to talk about it. There was indeed a need for caution.

As Mu Xuan was washing his face, Mu Han left. As soon as he arrived outside, Chen Gong asked nervously, How is the Marquis? For the entire day and night, nothing happened?

Knowing that Chen Gong was truly worried about Mu Xuan, Mu Han smiled and said, You should go in first. Perhaps you can help him relieve the pressure first!

After that, he left without stopping. Cheng Gong didn't know why Mu Han said this, but he knew that Mu Xuan needed someone to help him relieve the pressure. Thus, he didn't pay any attention to Mu Han.

Master Hou, are you alright? Was he hungry? Here, this is meat I specially prepared for you. This is meat from a Peak Rank 5 Demonic Beast! It contains a lot of essence! "

As for the food that Chen Gong had specially prepared for him, he casually turned around and ate it.

Mu Xuan didn't have any guard against him. Cheng Gong was happy. This proved that in Mu Xuan's heart, he was not only a subordinate, but also someone he trusted.

Seeing that Mu Xuan was eating so sweetly, Cheng Gong wiped the saliva off his face and asked, Is it delicious? If it's delicious, then eat more."

Looking at Chen Gong's appearance, Mu Xuan suddenly thought of the fact that everyone had to hand over their harvest. He didn't have much left, so where did Chen Gong get this much meat from a Peak Fifth Stage demon beast? Furthermore, it was a flying demonic beast. Furthermore, he had been rubbing his stomach the entire time. Did that mean that he had not eaten yet?

As he ate, he said, There's no one left now, so you can't call me Mu Xuan. If you can't, you can call me martial uncle. Master Hou, master Hou's call is too much.

He then took a meat piece the size of a human head and said, Eat it. I don't think you've eaten yet.

Mu Xuan's simple sentence moved Chenchen to tears. However, thinking of how she had not eaten for three days in order to prepare food for Mu Xuan, she took the piece of meat from his hand and gulped it down.

He had spent quite a bit of effort just to obtain this piece of meat! He gave the four Rank 5 Demonic Beasts that he had left to Liu Rong for distribution! In exchange for such a large piece of meat, he carefully processed it himself and gave it to Mu Xuan.

There wasn't much meat in the first place, and those that were processed were even rarer. Originally, he wanted to leave all the meat for Mu Xuan, but since Mu Xuan offered to give him so much, he had no choice but to take it because he was hungry.

However, this wasn't all due to hunger. The most important reason was that Mu Xuan didn't alienate him. Furthermore, he was happy that no one was so close to him.

After eating the meat in his hand, Mu Xuan patted his belly in satisfaction, wiped his mouth, and asked Chen Gong, What's going on outside now? Is Returning Sky City okay?

As he ate, he said, Good, good is not as good. You Huang occupies the four cities of north, south, east, and west that we've given up, helping us to withstand the external forces' erosion. Even the demon beasts won't come to our area to wreak havoc!

You Huang occupies the four cities of north, south, east and west? And help us prevent the other organisations from entering?

Mu Xuan's face was filled with disbelief, but he couldn't help but believe Chen Gong when he saw how serious he was. He asked, It won't be as simple as you say, right? He should be better off guarding the door for us."

It just so happened that Mu Xuan gave Mu Xuan a thumbs up and praised, As expected of uncle-master. You're really lucky. However, it doesn't have much effect on us. It's fine if we don't go out anyway!

Suddenly, Mu Xuan thought about the meaning behind Chen Gong's words and said with a wry smile, He can't have sealed us, right? Even though you are helping us to guard the gate, we can't go out either?"

Wiping his mouth, Cheng Gong nodded. He felt that Mu Xuan was very smart and could guess the truth before he even said a word.

This made Mu Xuan figure out why it didn't matter even if Chenchen didn't want to say it out loud. As long as he existed, they could go to the Land of Mystical Fiend to develop. It was also a world.

However, he was quite curious as to why Yinhuang had done so. This was of no benefit to him! Why would he do that?

Since he couldn't figure it out, he could only shake his head and stop thinking about it.

At this moment, Mu Han arrived with Liu Rong, Mu Sixian, Mu Xianhe, and Mu Hong. They couldn't help but complain inwardly when they saw Mu Xuan's troubled expression.

He had asked Cheng Gong to come here in order to relieve Mu Xuan's pressure. Now, he didn't know what the other party had said to make Mu Xuan frown even harder.

Seeing Mu Han's blaming gaze, Chen Gong smiled mischievously. He did not refute him and directly retreated with Mu Han, saying that some medicine would be used to protect their safety, so that they would not be disturbed.

Knowing that what he was about to say was important, Mu Xuan didn't stop him. Seeing how Chen Gong was acting, Mu Han didn't pursue the matter further and only curled his lips.

Just like this, the only people left in the room were the people from the Mu Clan, and they were the true higher-ups of the Mu Clan.

CHAPTER 202 - HOME

When Liu Rong told him everything that had happened fifteen years ago, Mu Xuan fell silent.

The top powers of the Ancient Regions had long since noticed him, and there were more than one of them.

After listening to the commands of the Patriarch of the Lu Kingdom and cursing herself, Lu Yan caused a bloody war to break out in the Ancient Regions. The Song Dynasty, the Lu Kingdom, and the Sun Dynasty fought each other for a long time, and in the end shocked the Great Tang.

In order to protect Mu Xuan's safety, the royal family of the Song Dynasty and the Longling Plum family had no choice but to abandon them. Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty would have directly intervened.

Mei Cheng, the Duke of Dingguo of the Great Song, had secretly warned Mu Hong and company to hide from the border between the Great Song and the Monster race. He didn't know how many things were happening here, so he might be able to coincidentally help Mu Xuan break the curse.

It was exactly like this. Mu Hong and the others were willing to pay any price to come to this place. After coming here, they had obtained a lot and even established a relationship with Thundercrash Mountain and Cloudburst Mountain.

Mother, in other words, you've come here because of a hint from the duke of settled country!

Mu Xuan and the others recovered from their painful memories. After all, they had paid a heavy price to come here all those years ago.

The combined attack of Lu and Xi Empire had left the Song Dynasty in the dark. When they found out, it had created an irreparable situation. After that, the Lang and Mei families had tried their best to hide where the Mu Family was.

Liu Rong smiled and said, If it wasn't for the suggestion from the Emperor, how would we know where the border between humans and demons is? And if we didn't come here, where would we have gotten so many resources to help you suppress the curse?

Experts of all ranks perished here, and it could be said that there were immortal caves of experts everywhere. It was precisely because of this that they were able to survive until now.

He had spent more than ten years helping Mu Xuan suppress and break the curse. Who knew how many resources he had expended? If it weren't for the inheritances of these experts, where would they obtain the resources to help Mu Xuan suppress the curse?

There are more than enough Divine Origin Realm experts to cultivate! In a situation where they could not rely on themselves, they had to rely on themselves. To be able to do this, it could be seen how much they had obtained.

But why is your cultivations always so low? Only at the Divine Mothers' Realm? Could it be that all of the resources are being used on me? Also, wasn't your cultivation very high in the past? Right now, you only need sufficient resources to recover? "

Waving his hand, Mu Hong smiled, It's not like you want to, but if you want to form good relations with the demon race and have them secretly help you, then it's not without a price. Every time you obtain the inheritance of a powerful expert, we have to give half of it to them, and that's exactly what it is, under the protection of the Longling Mei Family, no one has found any trace of us in the past ten years.

As for your cultivation! Hehe, to be honest, among us, the one with the lowest cultivation back then was also in the Divine Origin Realm. Your second grandfather is even more amazing, having come into contact with the Essence Controlling Realm.

Mu Hong felt proud of himself when he said those words.

Hearing Mu Hong's words, Mu Xuan invited him out as well. It wasn't a coincidence that they had a good relationship with Lei Yun. Everything had its reasons.

It was likely that Lei Shan had decided to help him at the beginning because he had a tacit understanding with Mu Hong and the rest. Otherwise, with his cultivation, they would not even look at him.

Even now, if it were not for their cooperation and the many benefits they had obtained, they would not have helped him.

Moreover, he had followed him to the Meteor Pit to obtain a portion of Demon Lord Xiao Yue's inheritance. Moreover, that should be their ultimate goal, but since they had no way of obtaining it, Liu Rong should have her own plans when she probed.

There must be a reason why he was willing to come out when he thought of the possibility that he might be the country's duke. Moreover, the respect he had for them in his heart had deepened.

Since he already knew the reason why, there was no need to investigate it any further.

Then why did the people of Tang Dynasty pay attention to me from the beginning? Could there be anything out of the ordinary? Are you guys hiding something from me? "

When these words were asked, Mu Hong and the others' expressions immediately changed. They looked at each other, but were unwilling to speak.

This made Mu Xuan even more suspicious. After all these years, they had never told him about their past affairs, and after he had been able to be independent, he had felt that there must be something behind it. It was just that there were too many things that he had no time to pay attention to and could only put them aside.

Just say it. Say it so that we can look into it together and see if there's anything that we don't know about.

Mu Si let out a bitter laugh and said, Since you've already told your child everything that happened back then, what else can't you tell your child? Moreover, that is not a shameful matter. Although it was suppressed by the King and the Duke of Dingguo back then, there are still many people who know about it, and their children will find out one day.

When it was only the Mu Family clansmen, Mu Xuan would only allow them to interact with him through family connections. That was why Mu Si was called Mu Xuan's child first.

Liu Rong and the others didn't object. They knew that no matter how successful Mu Xuan was, the family couldn't be left out.

Home was a warm and warm place. If a person did not have a home, what was the point in living?

For example, if he wasn't following Mu Xuan and if the Mu Family didn't treat him as an outsider, he would have lost his courage to live a long time ago.

Home was a place where one could be tired and comfort others. It was a place where one could relieve their fatigue and, when pressure was high, express their feelings.

In short, home was a place one could not lack.

And it was precisely because of this that they knew everything that happened to Chen Gong, including their own reasons. Sometimes they even intentionally got close to Chen Gong to relieve the pressure in the depths of his heart.

The same was true for Mu Xuan. He felt a lot more depressed. Only when he was at home could he be relieved. Only the people of the Mu Family had no intention of dealing with him. They treated him with sincerity.

That was why he had spent so much of his resources to help the Mu Family recover and raise their cultivation base. Mu Xuan knew that only if the Mu Family truly became strong, would he be able to have his own team and not fear anything that might happen in the future.

Alright, since Second Uncle has already said so, even if you all won't allow it, I will still tell Mu Xuan!

Mu Han was the first to express his stance, and Mu Hong and the others didn't object. Thus, Liu Rong told them about the strange event that happened when Mu Xuan was born.

CHAPTER 203 - REST

After learning of his birth and what had happened in the Ancient Regions, Mu Xuan was completely silent. Perhaps it was because of those things that the Tang Dynasty and the Ancient Freezing Villa valued him!

After that, Mu Xuan took the initiative to rest for a few days. Anyways, You Huang had gone to watch over the door for him, and the army needed to rest as well. After all, they had experienced several beast tide!

After Liu Rong and the others left, Mu Xuan called Chen Gong and had a good drink. He was drunk. Chen Gong put him on the bed and tidied up everything. Looking at Mu Xuan, who was still young and tender, he couldn't help but feel regretful.

A child in his teens was not only bestowed the title of duke in the Song Dynasty, but his methods were definitely not something an ordinary person could achieve.

While he was following him, in the village, not only did he make Wu Ling and the others give up all hope on him, but after he took them to Liao Gu Town and left with Liu Heng, he even used his power and influence to rope in a large group of people after their rebirth.

Relatively speaking, it was very rare for Mu Xuan to gather such a group of people at that border.

Furthermore, from what he had experienced since he returned, he could tell that Mu Xuan was strong.

He was able to endure everything, never playing cards according to common sense, causing others to be confused. His opponent was extremely concerned, he would never be stingy with the resources in his hands.

Perhaps it was because Mu Xuan was generous with his resources that there were so many people following him. Most of them might follow him now because of his resources, but they would definitely follow him in the future.

For example, he had only chosen to follow Mu Xuan in order to repay the debt of gratitude. However, he had met with Mu Xuan later on and met the fallen Howling Moon Demon Sovereign. He had regarded him highly and accepted him as his disciple.

If he didn't have his inheritance, then even if he was nurtured by all sorts of resources, his cultivation would only stay at the early stage of Soul Formation. He probably wouldn't even have been able to reach the Soul Formation stage.

But from a side view, what was Mu Xuan? Just a child, just a child, yet he had to endure so much.

That was why he had helped Mu Xuan wholeheartedly and never had any selfish thoughts. If it weren't for Mu Xuan being so young and coming into contact with so many things, even if Mu Xuan showed him kindness, he wouldn't have given up his cultivation to help Mu Xuan deal with all of this.

But how could he not say? Just this kind of child was able to make so many of them pay attention to him and choose to follow him?

In short, there were many things he couldn't understand about Mu Xuan, such as the Mu Family.

After Mu Xuan was done, because of Jiang Shu's matter, the Great Song and the Lu Kingdom fell into a complete disagreement. After Mu Xuan was finished, because of Jiang Shu's matter, the Great Song and the Lu Kingdom fell into a complete disagreement.

In any case, the deeper they got into the relationship, the more confused they became about everything in the Mu Clan.

In the end, all he could do was sigh and leave, leaving the sleeping Mu Xuan alone in his room.

Apart from the door, he told the man guarding Mu Xuan that he would go and help Liu Rong with her matters in case she was too busy to come by herself.

In fact, even without Chen Gong's order, they would wholeheartedly protect Mu Xuan. If anything happened to Mu Xuan, their days of happiness would come to an end.

Just like this, Mu Xuan, who hadn't had a good rest for a long time, really had a good rest this time.

But from the beginning till the end, he didn't know that Mu Xuan was drunk and was only looking for a temporary respite. He also felt that he was too tired.

After finding out what had happened to him, he realized that everything had been planned out beforehand. He was just a chess piece, the most important chess piece.

Otherwise, why would so many top powers in the Ancient Regions value him? Why would Tang Dynasty interfere again and again for his sake? How could it be considered normal?

But for what? What was the importance of his chess piece?

Was it a coincidence, or was it all an accident, that his master had met him and helped him remove the curse? These were all things he could not be sure of.

And thinking about how he had to endure so many things at such a young age. That was why he took the initiative to drink with Chenchen Bow and got drunk, looking for a temporary respite.

Only by doing this would he be able to completely forget everything that had happened. If he didn't think about it, he wouldn't have any worries.

Mu Xuan believed that Liu Rong could handle everything that had happened in Returning Sky City.

He didn't need to participate in the battle of Pitiful Ancient Town since he could rest for a few days.

Mu Xuan, who was in deep sleep, didn't know that Liu Rong was in charge of everything due to him getting drunk.

Many of them had only followed because of the great benefits Mu Xuan had offered them. Mu Xuan had only gone to rescue Liu Zixuan once and had disappeared without a trace before coming back. This made many people start to suspect whether Liu Rong was secretly playing tricks on them.

But not only did the overbearing Liu Rong not explain clearly to them, she also blocked off the path to and from Sky Return City without Mu Xuan, and a few problems had appeared in the supply of various resources.

Liu Rong had forgotten to ask Mu Xuan for the resources, so she didn't have much to allocate. She had to reduce the previous supply and make a new set of temporary supplies. She would confirm what would happen after Mu Xuan woke up.

Also, he had the Wolf Army firmly in his hands, and Chen Gong who had been in control was excluded. He was to let Chen Gong train his personal guards with all his strength, and to become Mu Xuan's own personal guard.

Not only did the voluntary supply not decrease, but it had also increased. This was one of the reasons why so many people were unhappy.

However, Liu Rong didn't even bother to explain as she clearly knew that there were so many contradictions.

Many people had no choice. Without the attraction of benefits, they started to have strange thoughts and wanted to take action in secret. All of that was in Liu Rong's hands, so the conflict grew bigger and bigger. In the end, they had no choice but to send troops to suppress it.

She didn't even bother to explain how strong Liu Rong's methods were. Not to mention Chen Gong, even Mu Hong, Mu Xianhe, and the others were confused. However, when they thought about how Liu Rong always had her own mind, they didn't interfere too much and silently agreed to everything he did.

At this time, Mu Xuan, who had been unconscious for three days, had already woken up. However, he didn't want to come in contact with the troubles of Returning Heaven City so early.

CHAPTER 204 - THE SITUATION IN THE ARCHAEUS REGION

My Lord, the demon beasts in the Tang Dynasty have been changed! I wonder what we should do next?

In the conference room of the Great Tang Dynasty, an imposing middle-aged man in armor solemnly reported to the Great Tang Emperor, who was sitting upright on his throne.

He knew clearly in his heart that although the demon beasts had been changed, this was only the beginning of the demon beast horde. There was still a long way to go! Moreover, it would definitely be even more cruel, because this wasn't only a matter of the internal affairs of the demon clan, but also a purge of the human race.

For example, the Lu Kingdom had grown stronger amidst the beast tide.

Eight hundred years ago, the Lu Kingdom was just a rank 1 power in the Tang Dynasty with only two Nirvana warriors. However, after the first beast wave, they had two more ancestors who had successfully broken through to the Nirvana Realm.

However, even though he had the ability to build a country, he didn't have his own territory. That was why he decided to build a country in the Song Dynasty. The conflict between the Lu Kingdom and the Song Dynasty started at that time.

How could the Lu Kingdom be allowed to interfere in the Song Dynasty's territory? Furthermore, the Great Song was a power that had only risen to prominence during the great calamity that happened once every thousand years. Relatively speaking, it was considered one of the oldest powers in the Archaeus region. Thus, the conflict between the two countries grew larger and larger.

Until now, it had become a situation of not giving up until one side died. If it were not for the Song Dynasty's fear that the Lyu Parliament would retaliate at any cost, the tiger beside the bed in the Lu Kingdom would have already been exterminated.

There were other powers that had risen to prominence because of the beast tide as well. Although the beast tide was cruel, it was also a type of opportunity, and it all depended on whether or not one would be able to seize it.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty sat high on his throne, his eyes deep in thought. It was unknown what he was thinking, but he did not express any opinion on the matter that the dignified general had reported.

After a long while, he then asked, In other words, the Monster race has already withdrawn the monster tide from the Tang Dynasty?

Thinking about it more carefully, that person nodded his head, indicating that he had the exact same intention. The Great Tang Emperor's brows furrowed even harder, because as the emperor, he saw much more than most people.

The withdrawal of the demon beasts from the Tang Dynasty meant that although the Tang Dynasty wouldn't be attacked by the beast tide, it also didn't receive many opportunities within the beast tide. However, when he thought about how Li Ke had already left for Liangu Town to participate in the real battle between the beast tide and the ancient town, he revealed a smile.

Regardless of whether or not they could benefit from the beast tide this time, as long as they could cultivate Li Ke, everything was worth it.

Even though he couldn't figure out why Mu Xuan was so important to him, he still sent Li Ke, the future successor to the throne, out as a competitor.

I wonder what is happening in Liao Gu Town now? Where is Kerr? Is everything all right? "

Reporting to your majesty, Young Master Ke is doing well. Moreover, I've received news that Young Master Ke is able to take charge of his own affairs now. Furthermore, he has formed a good relationship with that man from the Song Kingdom.

Hearing the report, the emperor had always nodded, and was very satisfied with Li Ke's actions.

However, someone said, I wonder if the king knows that You Yun has already sent out that monster, You Huang, and that Young Master Ke has already exchanged blows with him. Most of the reason why Young Master Ke and the others were able to force back the snake den is because of You Huang!

The emperor's face couldn't help but change when he heard the words' snake den '. Others might not know just how frightening Yinhuang was, but how could he not know?

It was publicly acknowledged that You Huang would be the first person in the ancient region to step into the realm that their forefather had dreamt of sleeping for a long time.

To be able to receive such a high evaluation from so many old monsters, it was enough to show that he was terrifying.

He needed to make a new arrangement. Although Li Ke was of inferior quality to You Huang, he was also one of the Great Tang's only geniuses and could not afford to lose anything. Once there was any damage, it might cause their Great Tang to lose a powerful expert!

No need to care about the situation in the country, just pay attention to the Pitiful Ancient Town. That is the center of attention of the beast tide battle, and we can't fall behind either!

As ordered!

Hm! What should be sent, there is no need to be stingy. Although they all doted on their children, without experiencing any setbacks, their achievements are definitely limited! "

Without waiting for the ministers to react, he immediately left for who knows where.

Immortal Ancient Mountain, the true overlord of the demon race, was currently bustling with energy and excitement. The main point of the discussion was the design of the snake den, and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of demon beasts.

"Young master, you can't be so selfish just because the Serpent Cave is your little brother! If it's really like that, not only will it disappoint us, it will also disappoint the Demon Lord! What the Demon Lord values the most is the lives of my demon clan.

Although he incoherently spoke out his intentions under the watch of Snake Kui, who was in charge of the general situation of Immortal Ancient Mountain, he discovered that Snake Kui's expression had become even more unsightly.

However, in the eyes of the Demon Lord, those demon beasts that had yet to take human form could not be considered as demons. Only those demon beasts that took human form and possessed perfect intelligence could be considered a true demon.

Furthermore, what he valued the most were the male demons that were handsome and in human form, such as Demon Elder Mystic Moon!

Isn't it just some lives without intelligence! What is it! We can't hurt Brother Snake Hole's heart, so I plan to send him some more men, so that he can move more easily.

Then, with a vicious expression, he said, This time, we must capture all of that evil creature left behind by that little bitch Xiao Xuan!

Those people from the Immortal Ancient Mountain were all depressed. They had already sent out their direct relatives, was that not enough? Moreover, some of them had already died because of their opposition to the Serpent Cave, or perhaps they had made the wrong decision. Would they still send their men to their deaths?

At this moment, a sharp-tongued fellow stood out and said, Young master, it's said that You Yunshan's You Huang has come out and injured the young master of the Serpentine Cave. I wonder if this matter is true or false?

Humph! Of course it was true! If it wasn't for his sudden backlash, how could Brother Snake Cove make such a big mistake? And it won't end up with nothing! "

He did not express any opinions. He had only done so to shift targets. Now that he had achieved it, he was infuriated. He didn't need to send any direct descendants, did he?

Were the demons supposed to capture the rainbow colors as well as make enemies with the entire human race? How could it be easy?

He then said to the senior executives of Immortal Ancient Mountain below, That's exactly why you want to send those with the most potential, the strongest combat strength, and those that fit the criteria so that younger brother Snake Cave can have a good fight with You Huang and steal the title of the Ancient Regions' genius!

There was nothing they could do. Snake Kui was still unwilling to give up, so they could only laugh dryly. Although their hearts were full of unwillingness, they did not reveal it directly.

Just then, someone reported from the outside, Report! Young master, Demon Sovereign Xuanyue is here to meet you!

When he heard that Xuan Yue had arrived, although Snake Cave was very displeased, he suppressed it. His father had told him to avoid provoking Xuan Yue when he was in closed-door training. That was why Snake Cave personally went to greet Xuan Yue.

Immortal Ancient Mountain once again entered into a heated discussion. The main point was whether or not he should send more people to support the snake den.

In the end, it was still Demon Sovereign Xuanyin who blocked the public's criticism by requesting for people to be sent to support the snake den in order to fight against the human race! It was as though he didn't know that the Demon Lord was going to deal with his child.

At this point, the Immortal Ancient Mountain could be considered to have quietened down because each of them had their own ulterior motives and plans.

Demon Elder Mystic Moon was trying to get more people to go forward and divert the attention of the snake den. After all, they wouldn't be in the same boat as the snake den. As long as there was conflict within the snake den, it would be beneficial for Mu Xuan and his children.

Snake Kui wanted to use his large numbers to suppress You Huang and maximize the losses of the human race. This was because Liao Gu Town was currently filled with geniuses from the entire Ancient Regions.

He wanted to make them feel sorry for him and see if they would ever make an enemy out of Immortal Ancient Mountain. Most importantly, he wanted them to be able to catch the seven colors.

The Immortal Ancient Mountain was very lively, and the rest of the mountains were not quiet either. After all, during the beast tide, everyone was paying attention.

However, the other powers already wanted to withdraw from Pitiful Ancient Town, because they couldn't afford to offend You Huang.

However, their thoughts were too simple. They had already sunk into a quagmire, so how could it be so easy to escape? Therefore, when they wanted to escape, they discovered that it was impossible, so they had no choice but to stay behind and help their juniors find a reliable ally. After all, Liao Gu Town had already become a seven-legged tripod, You Huang was one of the hegemon, the top seven, and if they didn't find someone to rely on, they would be the final victor. They weren't at ease either.

Hence, he paid more attention to Mu Xuan.

Especially in the Song Dynasty, there was a huge uproar in the capital because after Mu Xuan made his decision, he had abandoned the four cities of East, West, and North.

Furthermore, it would be extremely beneficial for them to provoke the demonic beasts and not fall in love with Immortal Ancient Mountain. In addition, it would also be unimaginable for them to repel the snake den.

However, the only thing that caused people to be dissatisfied was that Lu Yan had been released. This genius of the Lu Kingdom had, after all, been involved in a dispute with the Great Song because of Jiang Shu.

Even if the Lu Kingdom had the ability, the matter of them helping Jiang Shu in the dark could never be completely covered up. Furthermore, Jiang Shu had already fallen out with the Lu Kingdom and had a bigger relationship with them, so how could they not want to sow discord between the Great Song and the Lu Kingdom?

In the Royal City, in the Great Song's Procedural Hall, there were intense discussions. How could Longling County possibly be quiet? After all, the strength of the Longling Prefecture's Mei Family was much greater than that of the Liu Family of the Great Song Dynasty.

However, they didn't say anything about what Mu Xuan had done because Mu Xuan belonged to the Mu Family and had nothing to do with them. A few months ago, the Mei Family had asked Lei Shan to explain to Mu Xuan that they had nothing to do with the Mu Family.

The egg possessed by the consciousness of the Life and Death Spirit Grass was the best gift that the Mei Family had given to Mu Xuan at that time.

However, they could never have imagined that helping Mu Xuan achieve his goal, which would allow him to have the support of Gu Tian and Tai Chi, would be the biggest thing he could rely on to get out of Liao Gu Zhen.

At the same time, in the ancestral grounds of the Mausoleum of Books, a faint shadow appeared. It was extremely weak, but looking at the ancestor of the Mei family, who had successfully transcended the tribulation and was stabilizing his cultivation, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

So far, under his nurturing, the Mei Family already possessed a number of powerful individuals. In that case, with the Liu Family alone, they would definitely be able to dominate the Ancient Regions and become the most powerful faction in the Ancient Regions.

As long as the Mei Family became the peak hegemon of the Ancient Regions, he would be able to accomplish his task more easily. He wouldn't need to look at the face of others.

Wounding the source of energy time and time again was no joke. If he continued like this, he really wouldn't be able to hold on.

Even though he had been severely injured to prevent the ancient region from encountering another catastrophe, he knew that this would not last for long. Therefore, he had to place everything on Mu Xuan so that once Mu Xuan arranged everything for the ancient region before the calamity arrived, the ancient region would be completely safe and he would be able to escape from his current state.

All in all, he could only wait. Once Mu Xuan matured, the old man's sacrifice would be worth it.

However, he was still very pleased with Mu Xuan's performance. Otherwise, he wouldn't have warned all the hegemons of the Ancient Regions to participate in the battle for mercy and to choose the team they would need in the future.

It could also be said that the current situation in the Ancient Regions was all within his plans.

The demonic beasts were not as fierce as they were the last few times. However, they were not as weak as they were expected. It was likely that he had warned the Demon Lord to be effective; otherwise, they would not be so sealed.

But that was indeed the case. If they were to continue fighting, wouldn't they suffer a huge loss if they were taken advantage of by a villain?

In addition, those fellows were becoming more and more active. Although the passage was sealed, there was still one fish that had escaped the net and had yet to be found. If they could not find it, then there would be endless trouble in the future.

At this moment, Mu Xuan hadn't even had a good rest when Chen Gong had called him out. Liu Rong's methods had aroused the public's anger, and it was only because of resources that Mu Xuan's people had started to revolt.

I wish everyone a happy and happy day!)

CHAPTER 205 - LIU RONG'S PLAN

What's going on!? You're so nervous? "

Chen Gong rushed to his resting place and pulled him out without saying anything. Mu Xuan shook off his hand and asked in dissatisfaction.

Mu Xuan's experiences would never be accepted by anyone. He had just rested, so how could he be happy when he was dragged away by Cheng Gong before his previous thoughts were sorted out? How could he not say anything?

While he was busy doing something, he was suddenly disturbed. This was very infuriating. Although it was Cheng Gong who was disturbing him, Mu Xuan was still dissatisfied.

It was only then that Chen Gong realized that Mu Xuan had just rested and that all the thoughts in his head had yet to be sorted out. He was already displeased when he was disturbed.

Chen Gong chuckled and said, Actually, it's not that important, it's just that because the Heavenly Monarch's methods are too unyielding, there are some people in the Heavenly Return City who are dissatisfied, and now there are people leading the way. They want to rebel out of the Heavenly Return City, and the Heavenly Monarch has already personally led people to suppress them, so I think that nothing will happen.

What? Wasn't this a big matter? Then what else is important? right now, Returning Heaven City can't take it anymore. Why must mother be so unyielding? "

Mu Xuan stood up in shock. He had only rested for a few days, so how could his mother cause such a huge commotion? If the Monster race were to take advantage of the situation and sneak in, wouldn't they be in danger?

Could his mother, who was the Heavenly Monarch herself, be in charge of the daily affairs of the Tianhui Mansion and cause such a thing? Could there be some sort of change? If that was really the case, she would have discussed it with him!

Li Ke and the other generals are all staying in the Heavenly Return City, so nothing big will happen. Furthermore, the people who rebelled were originally the thorns in the team, and a lot of people are looking for trouble with them. This time, it's just a fuse.

After Chen Gong's explanation, Mu Xuan was relieved. If that was the case, then it was something that his mother had planned for a long time. Now, she was using his time to rest and had truly done it.

Therefore, Mu Xuan was reassured and reprimanded Chen Gong for making such a big fuss out of nothing.

However, when Chen Gong was still embarrassed, Mu Han rushed in and pulled Mu Xuan away, saying, Quickly go and see your mother. She's injured.

This time, Mu Xuan could no longer remain calm. Not many people could hurt his mother when she was injured in the Heavenly Return City. Now, she was actually injured. Furthermore, it was when he was resting.

He used a speed even faster than Mu Han and rushed towards Liu Rong's residence.

After Mu Xuan left, Mu Han looked at Chen Gong in disdain. Chen Gong knew he was wrong, so he lowered his head and laughed dryly without saying a word. He knew that he didn't lie to Mu Xuan as per their agreement.

If I hadn't come in time, you would have completely ruined everything that sister-in-law has arranged!

Chen Gong forced a smile and said: I am too embarrassed to lie to the Marquis! He is truly sincere to me, how can I deceive him!

Mu Han curled his lips, but didn't say anything. He sent the personal guards to protect Mu Xuan and walked towards Liu Rong's residence, wanting to see if the plan he had made could be carried out as he had imagined. If it was carried out, then their future days would be much better and the inner circle would be more united as well.

After Mu Han left, Chen Gong shook his head helplessly. Even though he agreed with Liu Rong's plan, he couldn't bear to deceive Mu Xuan. After all, he was still a child, and not a child who had too much to bear.

What he had experienced over the years had caused him endless hardships, and now it was even because of the position of the Duke of Darchu that he was extremely busy. It was rare for him to have time to rest, so he could bring out such a child for the sake of the future of Returning Sky City?

Most importantly, he didn't want Mu Xuan to tire himself out too much. After all, Mu Xuan had saved his life, given his fortune, and was also his martial uncle. He shouldn't have lied to Mu Xuan, otherwise he wouldn't have changed his mind and told Mu Xuan that Liu Rong could take care of everything.

He knew it would be useless no matter how much he thought about it. He could only smile bitterly and walk towards Liu Rong's residence dejectedly to see how Mu Xuan was going to deal with these matters.

Before he arrived at Liu Rong's residence, Chen Gong heard Mu Xuan nervously looking after Liu Rong.

Mother, are you alright? Who hurt you? I'll teach them a good lesson!

It's not them, it's them. They definitely didn't mean any harm to me. It's me, it's me, I'm the one that's not good. I shouldn't be lacking resources, so I reduced everyone's usage of resources.

However, this sentence made Mu Xuan angry.

He reached out his hand to stop Liu Rong and stopped her from speaking again. Then, he turned his head to Mu Hong and gestured for him to leave. They would go outside to explain to him exactly what was going on.

However, he was already growing impatient. He had long since been dissatisfied with this fellow who had been groomed by him and yet refused to obey his orders. Now, it should be them who caused this trouble on their own accord.

It was already good that they had resources. With so many people to feed, these people should be able to sympathize with their mother's efforts to reduce the amount of resources allocated to them, and they would be able to injure their mother? This was absolutely unforgivable.

However, he had focused all of his attention on Liu Rong's injuries. He didn't realize that Mu Hong and Mu Si Xian were both shaking their heads helplessly. Although they were unwilling, they had no choice but to do so.

Because of the addition of so many people, Returning Heaven City was currently in a state of chaos. Other than Mu Xuan, who had taken out resources to support them, no matter what status they had, as long as they had the ability, they would not obey orders.

It would be too late by then. Therefore, they could only take advantage of Mu Xuan's break time to put pressure on everyone and let them take the initiative to show their face.

Thus, although she felt disdain in her heart and was unwilling, she could only wholeheartedly carry out Liu Rong's plan to properly rule over Sky Return City.

With a bitter smile, Mu Hong shook his head and followed Mu Xuan out. However, his heart was filled with helplessness. He actually wanted to deceive his own son in order to achieve some things.

Thinking of this, Mu Hong felt disgusted, but what else could he do? Just by themselves, they definitely wouldn't let those people back down. Their plan of reorganizing the Sky Harmony City would be foiled.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw Chen Gong talking to Mu Xuan about something. Mu Hong was shocked because he had already learned that Chen Gong wasn't willing to deceive Mu Xuan. He was afraid that Chen Gong would expose this matter.

CHAPTER 206 - MU XUAN'S CALCULATION

In that case, this isn't something that's been going on for a day or two, but something that's been decided a long time ago?

After learning the whole story, Mu Xuan calmed down and asked calmly.

Mu Hong nodded, indicating that he had a smile on his face. Mu Xuan had already made up his mind on how to deal with this matter.

Since he was following them because of his own resources, and he didn't know how to forgive him when his resources were scarce, instead of causing trouble and injuring his own mother, he should show them what he could do! Otherwise, where would his dignity lie?

Could it be that anyone who was dissatisfied with their policies would be able to take action against their loved ones in the future?

Father, please take care of mother. Leave the rest to me. I definitely won't let anything bad happen to Heavenly Return City. I really don't believe that they can cause a ruckus!

Seeing Mu Xuan's confident expression, he thought about this matter and felt relieved that he had already made the decision with Li Ke and Liu Quan.

If the hearts of the truly powerful were to be united, then they absolutely would not allow any major chaos to occur in Returning Sky City. Then, what problems would there be? Moreover, the Mu family already had fifteen Spirit Severing experts. Their status in the Heavenly Return City was not low, and the power they wielded was not small. So, what were they afraid of?

Even if he couldn't deal with those matters, he believed that Mu Xuan's forces alone would have the power to protect themselves.

Then be careful, I'll go back and take care of your mother!

Making Mu Hong feel relieved, Mu Xuan sent Mu Hong off himself. Then, he called Chen Gong in and asked, Whose idea was it all? What a good plan! With that, there will definitely not be any chaos in Returning Sky City, and I will also be famous.

Hearing Mu Xuan's direct inquiry, Cheng Gong knew that Mu Xuan already knew about the matter. He didn't expect Mu Xuan to be so happy that he didn't blame him. Thus, Cheng Gong told him the whole story.

Ever since Mu Xuan had rescued Liu Zixuan, Liu Rong had discovered a huge contradiction.

In the past, it was not too obvious since they were scattered everywhere. However, all of them had gathered in the Heavenly Return City, and their contradictions were beginning to show themselves. Furthermore, all of the factions had started quarreling with each other.

Thus, no matter if it was out of love for her son, or public or private, Liu Rong let Mu Xuan rest. During the rest of the time, she did everything well and only waited for Mu Xuan to come and clean up those thorns.

Although he knew that Mu Xuan could use the power of Liu Quan and the others to clean up those thorns, for safety's sake, he still chose to go up in the battle himself. While Mu Xuan was resting, he enraged those people and led his men to calm down.

It was just that he didn't expect that someone would actually attack and injure Liu Rong. Although the injury wasn't as severe as Liu Rong's, it wasn't light either, because the opponent was two peak Spirit Severing experts who had attacked Liu Rong at the same time.

Do you remember who they were?

Mu Xuan sounded violent as he said this. Chen Gong knew that Mu Xuan was furious after knowing everything Liu Rong had arranged.

I definitely remember, although I wasn't present at that time, because Lord Heavenly Monarch led the Wolf Army, and the Wolf Army was personally controlled by me at the beginning, how could I not know?

Chen Gong smiled complacently and said proudly, Although Lord Heavenly Monarch has sent other people to control the wolf army, my prestige is still there. Thus, after those two were captured by the wolf army and locked up there, they clearly know who is outside.

Mu Xuan also laughed, but his laugh was so devilish that even Chen Gong felt goosebumps rising on his skin.

Alright, send someone to deal with them secretly. Hehe, if you don't want to do it, then don't. I have to do it more thoroughly than others. I have to eliminate all of the hidden dangers!

Soon, he realized why Mu Xuan had done this.

It was difficult for snakes to move without heads, and no one took the initiative to lead the charge. They were simply a motley crowd. Only under the leadership of intelligent people would they truly be terrifying and have an impact on the city.

But now that the two most important people had been captured, how could they possibly cause a ruckus? If they didn't cause a ruckus, how would Mu Xuan make his move? Was it just because Liu Rong was injured?

Therefore, he wanted to secretly release those two people and uncover the source of all the chaos in Heavenly Return City. He wanted to completely suppress them so that when he wasn't in Heavenly Return City, there would be more chaos.

When Chen Gong was about to leave, he turned around and asked seriously, Master Hou, how do you know that all of this is the Heavenly Monarch's plan?

Mu Xuan was full of shit. It wasn't until Chen Gong got annoyed that he said, Do you remember when I came back from South City to pick up Liu Zixuan? Fighting with Lu Yan and the others in Serpent Cave is extremely dangerous. Mother was worried that I would be there, and I also know that something happened in Heavenly Return City at that time, which was why she was able to display such power.

That was indeed the case. At that time, something had indeed happened in Returning Sky City, and although it had been suppressed, Mu Xuan had not only heard some things. Chen Gong had also heard some rumors, which was one of the reasons why Liu Rong was so determined to suppress those thorns.

No mother was willing to raise a tiger by his son's side?

Therefore, when Mu Xuan was resting, she would help pave the way for her son so that he wouldn't live in an environment that threatened him.

That was the reason why she acted so domineeringly during Mu Xuan's break. She never gave anyone room for discussion when she did things. Her goal was to make those thorns attack first, so that she could reap the benefits with her left hand.

However, Mu Xuan knew about what happened when he was fighting with Lu Yan and the Snake Nest. Also, Liu Rong had been very aggressive when he came back, so he could tell that Liu Rong had been preparing these things? Isn't this too godly? Did he really think that he could come up with a brilliant plan!

Seeing the disbelief on ChenGong's face, Mu Xuan curled his lips and said, Since when have you become smart too!? Heh heh, did my luck really explode after staying with me for so long?

Why are you joking with me at this time?

Chen Gong was somewhat anxious. It was almost night time and it was a good opportunity to secretly let the two go. Moreover, he believed that there would be people coming to save them tonight. Therefore, he could not miss such a good time.

Mu Xuan no longer joked and replied seriously, Actually, I just found out. Your nervous manner when you found me today is completely inconsistent with what you did last time. Since you started to get nervous, you should be, even if I'm not, but you acted fearlessly.

Chen Gong suddenly said, So I already exposed myself at that time! Hehe, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future. At that time, I will definitely deceive you."

Also, you have nothing to be afraid of, and Fourth Uncle came over and said that your mother was injured, but you didn't seem nervous at all, and that's another story. After I left, you and Fourth Uncle chatted and laughed for half a day before you went to Mother's room.

"Also, I discovered that mother's injuries weren't as serious as I had imagined. It's just that her cultivation was consumed too heavily, causing her to be weak, and her performance was very obvious. Although she was hesitating to speak and was weak, there weren't any interruptions.

Furthermore, I've secretly observed Father and the others' situation. Yet, they didn't appear to be nervous at all. This means that all of this is planned. Merely, I do not know about it.

Shen Gong lamented, I don't know if it's because you are too smart, or if we are too stupid, to actually let you discover so many loopholes. Hehe, but what can you do about it?

Sigh! Indeed, it couldn't do anything! For this matter, my mother has even included me in her plans. If I don't do it well, how can I face her? So even though I know it's not right to continue, I still have to do it. "

Looking at where Li Ke and the others were, Mu Xuan was even more impressed.

And I suppose Li Ke and the others are thinking the same thing? Otherwise, they would not easily leave their territory and come here, and they would definitely not come here because of such a small matter. Because the matters of Sky Return City have nothing to do with them, they only rely on me, not Sky Return City. In their eyes, as long as I am here, they can do a lot.

After that, he mocked, They are the people who kept their promise until they saw the rabbit, so there was no price that moved their hearts. They would definitely not participate in it. They actually agreed to participate.

Chen Gong laughed, and said, I really thought you were clever, there is nothing you can't guess! So there's something that you couldn't have guessed at!

With a smug look on his face, he continued, Actually, it's nothing. As long as you think about it carefully, you should be able to figure it out. Furthermore, there's nothing in the Heavenly Monarch's hands that can move them.

Mu Xuan's face was filled with disbelief. He couldn't believe his own mother. To achieve a certain goal, he had to take out that endless promise, and there really was a fool who dared to believe it?

She wouldn't be promising them that after I establish my country, I'll give them the title of Marquis, right?

Only then did Chen Gong say solemnly, Yes, no, you are only half right. She also promised the generals that when you are able to leave the Ancient Regions in the future, you will definitely not abandon them. They will always follow your footsteps!

Mu Xuan was even more shocked. He couldn't understand how his mother could make such a promise to the generals. Could it be that she would be valued by the top overlords of the ancient region, the Great Tang, just because of him?

It's just that it shouldn't be! His mother was not that kind of person. She would never easily make such a promise to these people. It seemed that there were still some things that he had not thought about, or perhaps it could be said that he had not figured it out yet.

He did not want to talk to Chenchen anymore, because he felt that Chenchen did not have
