Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 873: Chapter 308: Hiss! This Team (3rd Update)

’What a keen Divine Sense!’

The seemingly frail old man beside the chatty young girl lowered his eyes in amazement.

He had just glanced at the City Lord Mu secretly, using a more concealed aura lock, yet it was still detected.

’If I hadn’t retracted it quickly, otherwise I might have...’ the old man thought to himself.

”Grandfather, what are you thinking about?” The girl ended her conversation with others and turned her eyes, seeing her grandfather deep in thought.

The old man collected his thoughts, looked up at her, and smiled warmly, ”Nothing much.”

The girl said ’Oh’ and didn’t continue to ask. But she leaned closer to the old man, asking in a small, curious voice, ”Grandfather, do you think that City Lord Mu is really as formidable as they say?”

The old man sighed and said meaningfully, ”If it’s just one or two people saying so, there may be falsehoods. But if everyone says so, it is probably true.”

”Ah! She’s actually that formidable?” The girl exclaimed, covering her lips with her hands in surprise, looking very adorable.

Unfortunately, at this moment, most of the people present had their eyes on the position where Mu Qingge and her four companions stood, not noticing her charming expression.

”I want to join you.” Amidst the discussions and curious gazes around him, Wei Molili stood in front of Mu Qingge, speaking with a firm, irrefutable tone.

Uh...

Mu Qingge’s eyes flashed with a trace of bewilderment, Ji Yaohua and the other three were also stunned.

And the people nearby, upon hearing his words, were even more shocked, staring with eyes wide and mouths agape.

What is going on?

Wei Molili wants to team up with City Lord Mu and them?!

Mu Qingge’s mouth twitched as she said politely, ”We follow orders for all actions.”

”Fine.” Unexpectedly, Wei Molili replied briskly. Without waiting for the few to react, he looked at Mu Qingge and said, ”I will listen to you.”

”...” Mu Qingge internally scoffed twice, feeling speechless.

The other three exchanged ambiguous glances towards her.

’Hey! What’s that about!’ Surrounded by the looks of the three, Mu Qingge felt like crying but had no tears. ’Don’t make it seem like there’s something between her and Wei Molili, okay!’

”Ahem.” Mu Qingge lightly cleared her throat, ignoring the curious glances of the three, and said to Wei Molili, ”I thought you always liked to go solo?”

Wei Molili candidly replied, ”I found that entering the Divine Tomb, teaming up with you all is more advantageous than going solo.”

”Brother Wei, saying this shows you’re a smart person!” Ji Yaohua raised an eyebrow with a smile.

Wei Molili glanced at him lightly, then refocused on Mu Qingge, saying to her, ”Moreover, in the Divine Tomb, there are many dangers, just as well I can repay you.”

”You don’t owe me anything.” Mu Qingge said helplessly.

This guy is so stubborn! She had said countless times that neither of them owed the other, why is he so persistently convinced he owes her!

”That’s what you think.” Wei Molili insisted.

Ji Yaohua’s eyes shifted as he sent a voice transmission to Mu Qingge: ’Qingge, if Wei Molili is willing to join, our strength will be stronger.’

Mu Qingge glanced at him imperceptibly, understanding his intention.

Indeed, she was thinking the same thing.

So, she looked at Wei Molili and said earnestly, ”I don’t need you to repay any favors, if it’s mutual cooperation, we welcome you to join.”

Mu Qingge finally nodded, but at this moment Wei Molili didn’t speak and directly joined Mu Qingge’s team.

The gathering of the five immediately sparked discussions from all around.

”Wei Molili actually joined in on the fun!”

”Isn’t Wei Molili always a lone wolf?”

”Strange! I haven’t heard of any relationship between Wei Molili and these four, how did they end up together?”

”Are you curious about the wrong thing? With these five together, what do we do? Probably only some of the old monsters pose a threat to them, for us, we better steer clear!”

”Hiss~! Right!”

Finally, everyone awoke to the scene of the five talents of the Green Talent List gathering together.

They eventually thought of themselves, as they were in antagonistic relationships entering the Divine Tomb, what to do if they met inside? It seems they can only retreat far away.

Thinking this way, many of the younger generation felt a bitterness in their hearts.

Meanwhile, mixed in the crowd, those old monsters lured by the Divine Tomb chuckled with meaning.

Some low murmurs slipped from the mouths of those old monsters without alerting anyone.

”The five elite talents of the Green Talent List, meaning, all are exceptional with Spirit Root... at least more likely than ordinary people. Hehe.”

”Strongest of the young generation, meet me, and I’ll tear you apart.”

”Interesting, interesting. This time entering the Divine Tomb won’t be dull.”

”That top rank of the Green Talent List is actually a great beauty, if I could capture her as my maid, wouldn’t that be enviable? Heh heh!”

For a moment, everyone harbored indescribable thoughts.

In the Northern Continent’s group, Han Caicai looked towards where Mu Qingge stood, seeing her surrounded by four others, complex emotions rose in his heart.

Once, he also had the chance, the qualification, to stand beside Mu Qingge, to forever protect her.

But, it was he himself who ruined it.

Even though he has let go now, he feels unqualified to stand by her side again, to fight alongside her, to drink and sing together.

Xi Qianxue also glanced towards the spot where the five of Mu Qingge stood, but she only looked once before withdrawing her gaze, as if everything was unrelated to her.

”Goddess.” Behind her, a young man with the Xi Family insignia on his clothes, spoke softly and respectfully.

Xi Qianxue didn’t look back, but said in a low, calm voice, ”After entering the Divine Tomb, you lead the team, and be careful with everything.”

”Yes, Goddess.” The man respectfully lowered his eyes. However, he still reminded her, ”Goddess, please take care of yourself while acting alone. If you encounter danger, please send a signal immediately, and we will rush over.”

”There’s no need to worry about me,” Xi Qianxue said.

At this moment, she was filled with anticipation. Being with them again, following Mu Qingge, it seemed like they had returned to the time at the Divine Demon Ancient Battlefield.

The feeling of mutual trust and exhilaration in the midst of danger was hard for those who hadn’t experienced it to understand.

...

Above the spire of the Divine Hall, a massive purple-black vortex descended lower and lower.

As it descended, fierce winds whipped across the ground, causing the clothes of the people in the square to rustle loudly.

At this moment, the Divine Venerable appeared before everyone.

He was still in a silver long robe, adorned with patterns outlined in gold threads, appearing holy and noble. His silver hair seemed to shine with a sacred glow.

As he appeared, those waiting to enter the Divine Hall all bowed and called out, ”Greetings to the Divine Venerable!”

Though Mu Qingge stood among the crowd, she did not join the others, keeping a cold silence. Earlier that morning, she had just received news from Gu Ya that an assassin had indeed infiltrated Qin Country, but they were intercepted near Mu Mansion.

Initially, they intended to capture someone alive for questioning. However, upon realizing the ambush and the strength of those laying in wait, the assassins surprisingly chose to commit suicide by poison.

In Linchuan, no one dared to target Mu Mansion. In the Middle Ancient Realm, those aware of her origins who would target Mu Mansion were solely the Divine Hall.

Therefore, at this moment, Mu Qingge held no respect for the Divine Hall or the Divine Venerable.

It should be said that if not for the fact that entering the Divine Tomb was of utmost importance, she might have already torn off her facade with the Divine Hall. Daring to threaten her family...

Mu Qingge took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in her heart.

She couldn’t imagine what would have happened if Gu Ya and the others had returned a bit later, or if she hadn’t detected the hidden murderous intent in the Divine Venerable’s words that day!

”What’s wrong with you?” Yao Xinghai’s voice came through.

Mu Qingge paused, realizing that the four people beside her were all looking at her as if she had inadvertently revealed a hint of coldness.

She withdrew the chill in her demeanor, shook her head with a smile, ”It’s nothing.” She noticed that these people didn’t seem that respectful toward the Divine Venerable either.

This reminded her of how they had stood by her side unhesitatingly at Ruishui River.

She suddenly smiled playfully, thinking to herself, ’It seems that while the Divine Hall is dominant in the Middle Ancient Realm, not every family truly respects them inside and out.’

She believed that back at Ruishui River, apart from Wei Molili who knew the details about the assassins, the others might not have known clearly, but they might have had their suspicions. After Yao Xinghai returned to the Alchemy Institute and informed the dean there, he must have understood.

Mu Qingge looked around and noticed some old entities, who showed no respect for the Divine Venerable, and some even displayed disdainful mocking glances.

Suddenly, she felt these people were more suited for the path of demons.

Even she felt she had come to the wrong place and should have gone to the Demon Tomb instead. Her temperament was indeed starkly different from the Divine Clan she had encountered.

”Everyone, the Divine Tomb has already opened. The rules within the tomb, you all know them; life and death depend on your abilities. This is not a trial ground, nor is it child’s play. If anyone wishes to withdraw now, please leave,” the Divine Venerable spoke.

His voice echoed around the Divine Hall, ensuring everyone could hear it.

Withdraw?

Who would think of withdrawing at this point!

The crowd glanced at each other, with no one leaving.

The Divine Venerable waited for a moment, then showed a holy smile and slowly said, ”Very well. It seems you are all prepared. Then I hope you find what you seek and return safely.”

His demeanor was filled with compassion for all.

However, in Mu Qingge’s eyes, it was nothing but a sham.

”Enter—!” the Divine Venerable shouted, lifting his hand and waving his broad sleeve. Instantly, a layer of golden powder descended from the sky, like a golden rain.

As this golden rain fell, everyone looked up in surprise.

When the golden powder settled on them, each person emitted a layer of golden light, enveloping them.

”Ah!”

Suddenly, an exclamation drew attention from the others.

The crowd saw the person who exclaimed being enveloped by golden light, forcibly pulled from the crowd, their body out of control as they headed toward the massive purple-black vortex.

As they reached mid-air, others began to rise continuously from the ground, heading toward the vortex just like them.

Suddenly, Mu Qingge felt lighter than air, as if a force lifted her, drifting her into the air. Looking around, she saw the same happening to those around her.

Everyone standing on the ground was now all floating upward toward the entrance of the Divine Tomb.

Mu Qingge glanced at the ground, her gaze meeting the Divine Venerable’s eyes.

At that moment, she seemed to see a cold smile in the Divine Venerable’s eyes. That smile held a faint hint of threat.

Thousands heading to the Divine Tomb were rapidly drawn into the vortex in the sky.

The vortex was like a gigantic mouth, devouring everything that approached.

As fewer people remained outside the Divine Hall, the vortex gradually became illusory, as if it might disappear at any moment.

Suddenly, there was a loud explosion from the sky. The sound shook the Five Continents of the Middle Ancient Realm, causing them to tremble slightly. After the explosion, the vortex vanished, and everything returned to calm.

The Divine Venerable stood in place, still looking up at where the vortex had disappeared.

At this moment, a Divine Servant approached him from behind and whispered, ”Divine Venerable, they have all entered. Once inside, they will proceed according to your plan.”

The Divine Venerable revealed a faint smile, nodding slightly, with a haughty demeanor, ”Yes, give her a lesson, so she doesn’t think achieving minor success means she can challenge my Divine Hall.”

”That Wei Molili is also with her,” the Divine Servant tentatively said.

Mentioning Wei Molili, the Divine Venerable showed a look of disgust, ”A lowly being, daring to covet the Divine Hall’s Goddess. Kill him, do not let him leave the Divine Tomb alive.”

”Yes, Divine Venerable!” The Divine Servant bowed and retreated.
