Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1010: Chapter 1010: His Sacrifice, Her Despair

Just as Mu Hanfeng pushed Mu Hanyan away, he forcibly blocked that terrifying divine storm and was subsequently swept into the center of the storm.

At this moment, Mu Hanfeng was drenched in sweat, his entire body trembling uncontrollably, and the corners of his mouth were stained with blood, clearly enduring immense pain.

His strength was originally weaker than Mu Hanyan’s, and he didn’t have a cultivation technique like the Divine Martial Refining Soul Technique to enhance his divine sense. Furthermore, being at the center of the divine storm, how could he possibly withstand it?

Without thinking further, Mu Hanyan moved her feet and returned to Mu Hanfeng’s side, grabbing him to charge outward.

However, just as she moved, the divine storm burst forth violently, completely surrounding them, revolving rapidly with them at the center.

Although the storm was invisible and without form, being within it, Mu Hanyan felt countless sharp swords swirling around her, continually invading their minds, as if trying to utterly tear their divine souls apart.

Even with the Divine Martial Refining Soul Technique guarding her spirit platform, Mu Hanyan still felt excruciating pain, as if her mind was being torn apart.

”Big brother... you... leave!” Mu Hanfeng opened his eyes and said to Mu Hanyan with difficulty.

After uttering this one sentence, he closed his eyes, and without even probing with divine sense, Mu Hanyan could feel his divine sense dissipating at an astonishing speed.

”No!” Mu Hanyan’s eyes were blurred with tears as she roared to the sky.

”Hanyan!” Ye Lanfeng, noticing something was wrong, swiftly flew over.

”Young Master.” Uncle Yun quickly sent Mu Sha out of the courtyard and rushed over as well.

But it was too late. Even though the last black-robed elder was already exhausted, and seeing the Family Head’s soul scatter drove him to despair, leaving him neither the intention nor the strength to stop them, it was still too late.

After all, who would have thought that Mu Hanfeng was also in this shrine? Gui Yu Mie’s self-destructing of his divine soul to cast the forbidden technique was too decisive, leaving them unprepared.

Even if they could save Mu Hanyan, they couldn’t possibly save Mu Hanfeng.

At this moment, Mu Hanyan was completely engulfed in endless sorrow, watching her brother, whose divine sense gradually faded, through tearful eyes. Her heart shattered into pieces.

With a long howl, Mu Hanyan pushed the Divine Martial Refining Soul Technique to its limit. One by one, her meridians shattered, and threads of blood stained her white clothes red.

However, this was still not enough. Even so, it was not enough to resist that terrifying divine storm, nor to leave her brother the final thread of hope. A sense of unprecedented despair filled Mu Hanyan’s heart.

Huayue and the others watched from afar as Mu Hanyan’s body, covered in blood, and their expressions were all forlorn.

Although since they came to the Mu Family, Mu Hanfeng spent most of the time training outside and seldom stayed at home, each time he met Mu Hanyan, he appeared extremely indifferent. However, as Mu Hanyan’s personal guards, how could they not see the bond between the siblings?

They also knew that Mu Hanfeng’s character was akin to the Family Head of Heishi City, cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Although he rarely expressed it verbally, he was always protecting Mu Hanyan in his own way, even gifting his most cherished Cold Sky Sword to her.

And towards this brother, Mu Hanyan cared deeply. She even unhesitatingly gifted an unparalleled divine sword like the Chi Xiao Sword to him.

If something happened to Mu Hanfeng, how devastating would it be for Mu Hanyan? They dared not imagine.

But the divine storm cast by Gui Yu Mie’s self-destructed divine soul was simply too terrifying. Even after fleeing the ancient residence as per Mu Hanyan’s command, they still felt a cutting pain in their minds, making it hard to condense Qi, unable to offer any help besides feeling anxious.

Seeing Mu Hanyan howling towards the sky with tears streaming down her face, looking as if she were in unbearable pain, the few of them felt as if their hearts were being pierced by knives.

Suddenly, Mu Hanyan’s howling became even more resounding, full of a sense of finality.

A pure white light enveloped her, burning like fierce flames, yet exuding an icy coldness. Mu Hanyan’s eyes turned blood red.

Huayue and the others clearly felt that the divine storm unleashed by Gui Yu Mie had suddenly weakened significantly, like ice melting under a scorching sun.

”What’s happening?” Jiang Yuzhe exclaimed in surprise.

”A divine sacrifice, the Young Master actually chose to burn his divine sense to use the Divine Sacrifice Forbidden Technique!” Huayue was also shocked.

Similar to his Blood Sacrifice, the Divine Sacrifice is a forbidden technique that forcibly stimulates the power of the divine thought to its extremities by sacrificing divine sense. However, compared to the Blood Sacrifice, the consequences of the Divine Sacrifice are even more severe.

The most severe consequence of his Blood Sacrifice is losing some Innate Xuan Qi, but unless used indiscriminately, before advancing to Sword Saint, it poses no significant harm. For most cultivators in the world, stepping into the realm of Sword Saints is a feat they cannot achieve in a lifetime, so this consequence becomes negligible.

But the Divine Sacrifice is completely different. Once the divine sense is damaged, it wouldn’t just hinder Mu Hanyan’s future cultivation; it might inflict severe damage to her spiritual wisdom, turning her into a mindless walking corpse. To a cultivator, that’s more unbearable than death.

”No, we must stop the Young Master!” Jiang Yuzhe, knowing the terrifying consequences of the Divine Sacrifice Forbidden Technique, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

”Our strength is insufficient, our divine sense too weak; we can’t stop it. Besides, if you truly stop him, he would resent you for a lifetime.” Huayue shook her head as she spoke.

”But, Gui Yu Mie’s divine storm is too strong. I’m afraid even if the Young Master sacrifices his life, he might not be able to save the Second Young Master.” Jiang Yuzhe knew Huayue was right. Whether they had the ability to stop Mu Hanyan aside, even if they could, they couldn’t do it, as it would cut off Mu Hanfeng’s last hope. Yet, after hesitating, he couldn’t help but speak.

Although Gui Yu Mie’s divine storm had weakened significantly, this was only relative. In fact, whether for them or Mu Hanfeng, the divine storm remained terrifyingly powerful. Even if Mu Hanyan sacrificed all her divine thought power, she might not be able to save Mu Hanfeng.

Just after saying this, Mu Hanyan’s body suddenly swayed, her blood-red eyes appeared so hollow and spiritless.

Evidently, it was as Jiang Yuzhe had said, even though Mu Hanyan unreservedly used the Blood Sacrifice Technique, the difference between her divine sense and the divine sense forcefully enhanced by Gui Yu Mie’s evil spell was still too great. She might not be able to save Mu Hanfeng despite risking her life.

Jiang Yuzhe, the jinx, almost wished to give himself a hefty slap.

However, nobody blamed him, not even Zirong, who always enjoyed making fun of him, remained silent, even wearing that habitual faint smile.

”Don’t worry, this isn’t the first time the Young Master has been in a desperate situation. Each time, he manages to turn the tide and surprises us with unexpected miracles. This time won’t be an exception.” Zirong said.
