Chapter 19: Azure Primal Slash

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mu Ye’s breath was coming in weak gasps, and blood spilled out from the corner of his mouth. He was obviously severely injured.

Although Mu Linghan was trash, he seemed to be unscathed at this moment. If the two exchanged blows, Mu Linghan would probably have a higher chance of winning.

Mu Ye was panicking and worried because of Yun Yi’s identity and background. In addition, Mu Ye was injured. He knew that if Mu Linghan decided to make a move now, Mu Ye would only be able to accept it, and things wouldn’t end well for him.

He had no doubt that Mu Linghan would take this chance to end him!

After all, that youth was arrogant and unrestrained to the extreme! There wasn’t anything Mu Linghan couldn’t do!

Although Mu Ye felt fear and hatred coursing through him, he knew that there would still be hope as long as he lived.

So, he gave a cold snort and said darkly, “Mu Linghan, don’t think that just because you have someone to back you up, that everyone else will give you face! This is the Mu family! You’re part of the Mu family! What’s so great about relying on an outsider to show off your authority in front of your own family members?”

Mu Ye’s words immediately caused many people to nod in agreement secretly.

In Yun Yi’s anger just now, everyone in the courtyard had been injured to some extent. But, due to Yun Yi’s domineering nature, obviously no one dared to say anything.

However, at this moment, all the anger they felt previously was now directed at Mu Qinglan.

A number of people spoke up right away, echoing Mu Ye’s sentiments.

“That’s right! The Mu family has always been upright and fair, what’s so great about relying on others?!”

“Mu Linghan, you shouldn’t go too far!” 

“Even though you’ve gotten first place in the family trial, we refuse to accept this outcome! Right, brothers?” 

Someone shouted, and at once the crowd rose up together. “Right!” 

Mu Ye sneered and said, “If you really have the guts, then let’s have a duel on the training grounds in three days! That is, if you dare to accept this challenge!” 

In three days’ time, his injuries would basically have recovered, and dealing with someone insignificant like Mu Linghan would be a trivial matter!

Once these words were spoken, the crowd quieted down and gave Mu Qinglan an indescribable look.

Mu Ye was actually issuing a challenge to Mu Linghan?!

Matters like these would be a one-on-one match once both parties agree, and no one would be able to interfere!

If Mu Linghan was afraid and rejected it, he would be infamous from now on, and would be ridiculed and scorned. 

If he agreed, then when the time comes, Mu Ye would definitely beat the crap out of him!

Would Mu Linghan… agree to it?

Mu Yan frowned deeply, but he didn’t want to see this matter drag on and fester into something worse.

When people in the family had a grudge, most of them would issue a direct challenge and agree to have a duel in the training grounds.

If there was no other way to settle the grudge between Mu Ye and Mu Linghan, then he was afraid this was the only solution left to them.

But, it was obvious that these two would do everything in their power to kill each other!

If Mu Linghan won, that was fine. But, if he lost…

Mu Yan recalled the extremely noble white-clad youth just now. His techniques had been extraordinary, and if he was angry with the Mu family because of how they had failed Mu Linghan…

Mu Yan couldn’t help but feel a chill at the bottom of his heart, and was about to veto this proposal without much thought when a clear voice rang out.

“Fine.” 

All eyes fell on Mu Linghan! He actually agreed?!

The youth, who was still covered in bloodstains, was smiling faintly, with a completely eased look on his face!

He was openly displaying his brash nature in silence!

Mu Qinglan didn’t bother to pay attention to what the people around her were thinking, and was even less sympathetic towards them. Most of these people had been sneering at her since she arrived here. Since Yun Yi had made a move to help her just now, she would just suffer this favor.

Then, she looked at Mu Yan and said, “Master Mu Yan, now, you should give me what rightfully belongs to me, right?”

Mu Qinglan raised her head to observe the tall building in front of her. 

The Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.

All the cultivation manuals in Mu Mansion were kept here.

Even though Mu Mansion was only a branch family, some heritage was still kept here. Otherwise, Mu Qinglan wouldn’t have been bothered to get first place in the trial.

Because usually, disciples simply didn’t have the qualifications to even come near this place. Only those who ranked first in the yearly family trial would be able to enter and choose a cultivation method.

The front of the building was unguarded.

However, Mu Qinglan could clearly feel the transparent boundary barrier that enveloped the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and the area around it.

Mu Yan stepped forward and waved his hand, sending a ripple of energy through the air.

“Go on in, then.” 

Mu Qinglan raised her eyebrows, then walked forward as instructed.

Mu Yan explained in a deep voice, “Once you go in, you will have the time of one incense stick to choose the manual you want. If you still have not chosen by then, you will be forcibly expelled, understand?” 

Mu Qinglan nodded and smiled. 

“Don’t worry, Master Mu Yan. I have experience.” 

Mu Yan was stunned, but Mu Qinglan had already disappeared into the boundary.

Experience?

It took a while before Mu Yan was able to react. Mu Linghan was probably talking about the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion in the main family residence, right?

No matter how he was now, Mu Linghan was once an outstanding genius of the Mu family, so naturally, he would have qualified to enter and freely select cultivation manuals in the main family.

However, who could have imagined that such a dazzling genius would one day be reduced to the point of struggling for manual scrolls in a small city like Luo Xi City?

Mu Yan stared at the direction in which the tall and thin figure had disappeared for a long time before he slowly let out a sigh.

After Mu Qinglan went in, the scene in front of her changed abruptly. When her vision cleared, she could see two rows of neatly arranged and tall shelves had appeared in front of her.

On top of the shelf, countless light clusters glittered.

Some of the lights were glowing faintly, but some were as bright as ordinary lamps. 

Mu Qinglan walked forward, her eyes skimming through the books and scrolls on the shelf quickly.

She didn’t stop in her steps, heading straight into the innermost part of the place.

These were all naturally cultivation manuals, and just based on the light on them, it was easy to tell their rank.

Cultivation manuals were divided into three ranks—Heaven, Earth, and Profound. Within those three circles, they were divided into three levels—basic, intermediate, and advanced.

All the manuals here were probably around Profound basic to intermediate level.

Mu Qinglan recalled that when she was a child, when she and her brother had entered the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to choose manuals together, even the most inferior ones had been Profound advanced level manuals.

However, she didn’t care very much for it right now. It was only natural to start all over again in her situation, after all.

“Girl, is it worth wasting your time on these lower-grade things?” 

Xue You’s voice suddenly rang out with undisguised disdain.

Mu Qinglan continued to casually browse through the scrolls while asking, “Oh? Do you have some upscale treasure you can give me?” 

Xue You’s voice paused for a moment, before saying in a seemingly ashamed voice, “Girl, the only thing I have left is this primordial spirit of mine. How could I have anything like that to give you?” 

Mu Qinglan gave a light snort, and just as she was about to say something, her gaze suddenly landed on the light cluster to her left.

There was a faint trace of azure light within the light cluster that was easy to miss.

Under Mu Qinglan’s gaze, the gleam of light flashed lightly…

Just now, she clearly felt the Yuan Energy in her body pause for a moment!

And the reason for that must have been this ball of azure light!

She didn’t hesitate, reaching out to immediately grab the ball of light in her hands!

A roll of greenish-blue bamboo writing slips fell into her hands.

“Azure Primal Slash!”
