Chapter 2022 (Raw 2118): The Terrifying Qin Mu

Qin Mu’s arrival turned the atmosphere very tense.

Who was Qin Mu?

He was the strongest person of the Dragon’s Gate’s outer palace. He was the most outstanding among the Qin Clan’s younger generation since the Dragon God Crown Prince Qin Ming.

Qin Mu was young, but his talent was scary. The older generations felt at ease with him handling affairs.

Many people referred to him and the Dragon God Crown Prince as the Golden Dragon Race’s twin stars, one bright and one dark.

[TL Note: The Ming of Qin Ming means bright and the Mu of Qin Mu means dusk or evening.]

Qin Ming’s name already shook the Divine Dragon Empire, as well as the entire northern region. He was a rare talent, even when considering the entire Central Great Realm. He would not lose out to the outstanding talents of the dynasties.

As for Qin Mu, he was like his name.

Although Qin Mu’s name resounded throughout the outer palaces, he was not well known in the northern region. Describing them as the light and dark twin stars seemed appropriate.

The moment Qin Mu appeared, the Qin Clan experts withdrew at a wave of his hand. This clearly demonstrated his prestige.

“Big Brother, save me!”

Upon seeing Qin Mu appear, Qin Aotian rejoiced. It was like he saw his savior, inspiring him to call out.

However, Qin Mu ignored Qin Aotian. He looked straight at Xiao Chen and said, “This is a good method to force me to appear, dealing with this problem forever. You can release him now. I promise you that the Qin Clan will not cause trouble for you over Qin Aotian again. I will personally come and take back the Dragon-Patterned Battle Suit in the future.”

The experienced Qin Mu got straight to the point. To everyone’s surprise, he did not use force.

Instead, Qin Mu opted for a soft approach. Without speaking any nonsense, he promised not to seek trouble for Xiao Chen anymore.

Xiao Chen was surprised at such an attitude. He initially thought that the other party would test him out first.

This showed that this person’s boldness and ambition were much greater than Qin Aotian’s.

Qin Mu’s face radiated strong confidence. Xiao Chen could even vaguely see royal Dragon Qi circling him.

This person was difficult to deal with.

“Whoosh!”

Xiao Chen kicked casually, sending Qin Aotian flying to Qin Mu like a sandbag.

Qin Mu raised his hand and caught Qin Aotian.

“Big Brother, you can’t let him off—”

Before Qin Aotian could finish speaking, Qin Mu slapped him unconscious. Then, Qin Mu tossed him to one of the Qin Clan old men and said casually, “Let Second Young Master have a proper rest. Don’t let him out for a month. Let’s go.”

The grand fight that many people expected never materialized.

Qin Mu did not do anything. He took the soft approach and withdrew, bringing Qin Aotian away.

The Heavenly Dragon Palace’s Elder Yun and the disciples heaved a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, things were resolved so easily.

Only Xiao Chen frowned at this result.

The others only saw the matter before them being resolved, but they did not realize that there was such an opponent.

The Heavenly Dragon Palace’s situation in the competition between the seven outer palaces was not good.

“How unfortunate.”

The many people hidden in the nearby buildings sighed when they saw a potentially huge commotion resolved silently. At the same time, they felt somewhat afraid.

The Qin Clan teemed with talents. First, there was the Dragon God Crown Prince Qin Ming. Now, there was Qin Mu. action

Just having either one of the twin stars would be a great blessing for any clan. Yet, two of them appeared in the Qin Clan, the Golden Dragon royal clan, at the same time.

“Young Master Qin, how can we leave it at this? We cannot let others trample on the prestige of our Qin Clan.”

The Qin Clan old man did not feel satisfied with Qin Mu’s handling of the situation.

Such a result, despite the Qin Clan’s strength in Divine Dragon City, was truly aggravating.

Qin Mu stopped and glanced at the three old men. Then, he looked at the many Qin Clan experts and Heaven Suspending War Chariots in the air.

Qin Mu’s face suddenly sank as he snorted coldly.

That’s not good!

The other old men felt that this was bad. Young Master Qin is angry!

Qin Mu scolded coldly, “Bunch of pigs! When do you think this is? It’s the competition between seven outer palaces. How many eyes are on our Qin Clan right now, watching our Golden Dragon bloodline! By causing such a commotion and bringing out so many troops, aren’t you giving others a reason to say that our Qin Clan is condescending and does not follow the rules? Are you not aware of how many people from Ancestor Dragon City are at the City Lord’s Residence?!”

The three Qin Clan old men felt somewhat nervous at being lectured; just the thought of it made them shiver.

“Is there even a need to bring out so many troops to deal with one Heavenly Dragon Palace?! Even if you won on the surface, it would demonstrate your helplessness. You would end up with a reputation for bullying mixed-blood dragons. I think you all have been at peace for too long already. If the next Dragon Emperor comes from another bloodline—”

At this point, Qin Mu suddenly stopped, not saying anything more.

“However, this person is truly bold. Are we just going to let him off so easily?”

Cruelty flashed in Qin Mu’s eyes. He retorted coldly, “Did I say that I’m letting him off? There is no need to deal with him openly. The competition between the seven outer palaces tomorrow is an opportunity. They are just a group of mixed-blood dragons. Originally, I did not have anything planned for them. However, since they stepped forward, they can’t blame me for being ruthless.”

The cruel light in Qin Mu’s eyes made the surrounding old men tremble in fear.

The Heavenly Dragon Palace’s residence:

After the peaceful resolution of the situation, everyone’s nervous heart calmed down. The disciples started to bask in the joy of Xiao Chen’s return.

The disciples rushed forward and asked where Xiao Chen had gone.

Xiao Chen gave a simple explanation, and the group started chatting idly.

Just as this moment, four people walked in through the gates.

They were the Blue Dragon Palace’s Situ Changfeng, the Red Dragon Palace’s Murong Yan, the Golden Dragon Palace’s Wei Hongfei, and the Green Dragon Palace’s Duan Fei.

When the other disciples saw Xiao Chen’s friends arrive, they withdrew politely.

“Haha! Xiao Chen, you are really quite something. You remain silent for so long, not appearing, yet the moment you appear, you kick up a storm in the city. To think that you even managed to scare off Qin Mu!”

Aside from Murong Yan, no one else had such direct laughter.

Wei Hongfei, on the other hand, looked at Xiao Chen somewhat worriedly and said, “Brother Xiao, I understand this Qin Mu very well. He definitely will not leave this be. Those who offended him all came to bad ends. That is not the terrifying part. The scariest thing about him is that he can reduce you to a half-dead state without leaving any openings for a senior to interfere or criticize.

“Several senior brothers in the Golden Dragon Palace offended him, and they came to bad ends. However, the sect Elders could not use the sect rules to deal with him.”

Xiao Chen nodded and said, “I can tell that this person is very scary. However, that’s all there is to him. It is good that Qin Aotian’s matter is settled. I do anticipate how he will seek trouble for me.”

Wei Hongfei felt stunned on hearing this. Then, he gazed at Xiao Chen in shock and discovered that in the time that he had not seen him, Xiao Chen’s strength had turned utterly unfathomable.

Right now, Wei Hongfei felt that Xiao Chen had the courage to face a Sovereign Personage expert. Xiao Chen’s casual tone conveyed extremely strong confidence.

Xiao Chen did not fear Qin Mu despite Qin Mu’s strength. His various fortuitous encounters and bitter cultivation in Thundercloud Ancient Marsh were not for naught.

Xiao Chen swept his gaze over the four and found that their strength had improved as well, Situ Changfeng’s and Murong Yan’s in particular.

Having consumed the Medicinal Pill that came from a Pill Spirit with divine nature, Situ Changfeng gained fortune through misfortune, resulting in unlimited potential.

Murong Yan seemed to have obtained a pretty good inheritance in the Red Dragon Palace’s Inheritance Hall.

“Tomorrow is the competition between the seven outer palaces. We cannot stay here for too long. I hope that you can lead the Heavenly Dragon Palace to create a new record.” Situ Changfeng smiled faintly as he gave his blessings.

Xiao Chen said seriously, “I will definitely do my best. If we end up facing each other, don’t show any mercy. Just do your best.”

Murong Yan guffawed, “Hahaha! Who dares to show mercy when facing you? However, I still have to thank you. If not for your advice, I could not have obtained the Demonic Flame inheritance, one of the Red Dragon Palace’s seven great inheritances.”

“The Demonic Flame inheritance!”

Wei Hongfei and the others were startled since they had heard how terrifying this inheritance was. They all quickly said, “Congratulations.”

“Time to go.”

The four did not stay for long. They chatted briefly before taking their leave of each other.

When night was about to fall, the First Palace Master and Elder Tian Yun returned to the residence.

The two were overjoyed to see Xiao Chen.

“Xiao Chen, you came back just at the right time. If you were not around for the first stage of the competition between the seven outer palaces tomorrow, our entire Heavenly Dragon Palace would immediately suffer a severe disadvantage.” The First Palace Master could not hide his joy on seeing Xiao Chen.

Then, he looked around and whispered, “Did you obtain the Five Element Divine Lightning?”

Xiao Chen nodded slightly, indicating his success. The First Palace Master felt incredibly excited. “The gamble paid off! This time, the Heavenly Dragon Palace will shock the other outer palaces!”
