Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Seeing the guard’s panicked expression, he initially thought it was because the man was inexperienced and was unnerved after seeing Jiang Renyi kill someone.

”Not, not that, Renyi is dead,” the guard finally revealed the truth.

”What!” Jian Zhongtian’s face changed suddenly.

Jiang Renyi had followed him for many years, and his adversaries killed by him numbered not less than eighty if not a hundred. Jiang Zhongtian was all too aware of his capabilities and could hardly believe he was just dead like that.

”Sir, that man has already entered, what should we do? Shall we quickly leave?” The guard, having witnessed Jiang Renyi’s defeat and death with his own eyes, was already in total panic.

”Hmph, if we just leave like this, wouldn’t it belittle me, Jiang Zhongtian? Who knows how many people might bully me in the future?” Jiang Zhongtian snorted coldly.

He had committed many evils over the years, fearing most the day when he’d lose power and be humbled like a tiger fallen to the plains, abused by the dogs. If he fled today, who knew how many would come seeking revenge in the future? So, he absolutely must not back down.

”What are the opponent’s capabilities?” Jiang Zhongtian asked.

”I don’t know. However, he too was injured; I think he might not be much stronger than Renyi,” the guard ventured after some thought.

”Gao De, Xinli, you go together. We must not let him leave alive.” Hearing the guard’s words, Jiang Zhongtian was somewhat relieved.

Since the man was injured, his capabilities shouldn’t exceed Jiang Renyi’s by much. Jiang Gaode and Jiang Xinli were the other two of his three personal guards, neither weaker than Jiang Renyi. If the two of them joined forces, he couldn’t believe the man could leave alive.

Two elderly men then quietly appeared, nodded their heads, and with indifferent faces, they leapt into action.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the two elderly men ahead, a deeper smile played on Mu Hanyan’s face.

These two men were the other two experts beside Jiang Zhongtian. Killing them, there would be no one else who could prevent her from moving forward.

”Was it you who killed Renyi?” Jiang Gaode looked at the blood on Mu Hanyan’s shoulder, and at her face blending youthfulness and innocence, appearing absolutely stunning and somewhat unsure in his inquiry.

It was hard to believe. A devastatingly beautiful girl in her teens capable of killing the formidable Ninth Rank Swordsman Jiang Renyi? Even harder to believe was how she could still smile so freely and pleasurably after murdering someone.

”Indeed.” Mu Hanyan nodded her head.

”Who are you?” Like Jiang Renyi, Jiang Gaode and Jiang Xinli also looked at Mu Hanyan skeptically.

While Holy Court Continent allowed both men and women to cultivate, and though the concept of male superiority wasn’t severe, generally speaking, women faced slightly more restrictions and usually were not as strong as men.

Such a young and stunningly beautiful female expert, regardless of her background, should not go unnoticed, but they had no recollection of her.

”Why do you all like to ask such meaningless questions?” Mu Hanyan shook her head and drew her sword again—she had no desire to waste words with these people.

”Courting death!” Seeing Mu Hanyan move to attack as she spoke, utterly dismissive of them, Jiang Gaode and the other flew into a rage, attacking her from left and right.

One wielded the sword with his left hand, and the other with his right. As they began their attack, a phantom imagery of ’Gun Forest Arrow Rain’ unfolded, the swords forming an illusion as if echoing the metallic clash of ancient battlefield weapons.

Mu Hanyan’s expression hardened slightly, and her gaze grew even colder.
