Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 881: Chapter 316: Mu Qingge Is Dead? (Double Update)

Lucky encounter?

They really have exceptionally good luck!

Upon hearing Long Sheng’s words, the few were unsure whether to laugh or cry.

”So you’re saying, the previous encounter between the Heavenly Net Lord and Lin Xuanfeng, where they fought fiercely, was true. However, why neither of them obtained that Divine Status still remains a mystery.” Mu Qingge said, pursing her lips.

Long Sheng nodded, ”Eight or nine chances out of ten.”

He added, with a faint smile, ”A Divine Status isn’t so easily obtained.”

Mu Qingge looked at him and suddenly asked, ”Senior, what is your purpose in entering the Divine Tomb? And why do you seek closeness with us? If I’m not mistaken, you locked onto me with your aura when we were waiting outside the Divine Hall, didn’t you?”

This series of questions instantly changed the initially relaxed atmosphere.

Long Sheng’s smile remained unchanged; as for Mu Qingge’s group, except for her, the other five restrained their relaxed expressions, looking warily at the grandfather and granddaughter.

The group that was walking together immediately divided clearly into two sides.

”Hey! What are you doing? My grandfather didn’t harm you!” Xuxu exclaimed angrily.

Long Sheng gently patted the back of her hand, comforting her mood.

Ji Yaohua glanced at Xuxu, then cautiously turned to Long Sheng and said to Mu Qingge, ”Did he set his sights on you beforehand, outside?”

Mu Qingge slowly shook her head, ”I felt the aura lock on to me at the Divine Hall before, but it retreated once I discovered it.”

”Young ones, no need to be so tense.” Long Sheng spoke, his smile not diminishing.

He was at ease, but Ying Ze, Yao Xinghai and the others couldn’t relax.

Keep in mind, the Long Sheng before them now was a peerless expert who had withstood three Heavenly Tribulations a hundred years ago. If the Divine Tomb had opened a century earlier, he would likely have been to the Divine Demon Continent already.

Moreover, it’s rumored that this Long Sheng possesses the Double Spiritual Roots, namely water and wood.

Standing before someone like that, they dared not be careless.

”Senior wouldn’t continue following us, right?” Ying Ze asked cautiously.

”What do you mean we’re following you? We didn’t enter the same gate, okay?” Xuxu argued eagerly.

Not entering the same gate, meaning taking different paths yet encountering each other in the boundless Divine Tomb—was it truly a coincidence?

’Qingge, are you sure he didn’t leave a Spiritual Sense on you?’ Yao Xinghai transmitted the question to Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge nodded.

This, she was certain. Her Spiritual Sense was immensely strong; no one in the Middle Ancient Realm could possibly leave a Spiritual Sense on her without her noticing.

”Young lady, indeed I’ve come for you.” Long Sheng spoke.

This sentence, however, was directly addressed to Mu Qingge.

Suddenly, Yao Xinghai and the others became alert, firmly protecting Mu Qingge inside.

Xuxu sneered, ”Even if you combine your strengths, you couldn’t withstand my grandfather’s single hand. Do you think if we had ill intentions, you could block us?”

Mu Qingge raised her hand, halting the pointless dispute.

She stepped forward and looked at Long Sheng, directly asking, ”What guidance does Senior wish to provide?”

”Young lady, come with me.” Long Sheng smiled.

Mu Qingge furrowed her brows slightly and nodded.

”Qingge.” Xi Qianxue nervously grabbed Mu Qingge’s wrist, shaking her head slowly after Mu Qingge nodded.

Mu Qingge smiled faintly and said to her, ”Don’t worry. If Senior intended harm toward me or us, he wouldn’t need to trouble himself in this way. Given his capabilities, we are not his match.”

After reassuring Xi Qianxue, she scanned around with her clear eyes before following Long Sheng to another side.

Xuxu didn’t go along, instead, she approached the five.

Her seemingly defenseless act was actually meant to soothe the five’s unease, showcasing her thoughtful nature.

”Hey, aren’t you the Goddess? You’re the most esteemed woman of the Middle Ancient Realm. Encountering an outstanding woman like Sister Mu, shouldn’t you be jealous? Why are you so close to her?” Xuxu asked curiously, hands behind her back, approaching Xi Qianxue.

Her tone suggested a certain familiarity with Mu Qingge.

Xi Qianxue glanced at her, then withdrew her gaze. The relationship between her and Mu Qingge, the complexity of emotions involved, isn’t something easily explicable.

Moreover, how could she explain it to someone she just met and wasn’t sure if they were friend or foe?

”Don’t be silent!” Xuxu insisted on questioning.

Xi Qianxue pursed her lips, turning to walk behind Yao Xinghai, her rejection evident. Xuxu wanted to follow but was blocked by Yao Xinghai. He smiled, ”Miss Xuxu, until the conversation between Qingge and your grandfather concludes, it’d be better for you to remain quiet.”

Xuxu, unwillingly, pouted and retreated.

Meanwhile, Mu Qingge followed Long Sheng, walking far away. Once the distance was about right, Long Sheng waved his hand, forming a soundproof transparent barrier around them.

”What does Senior wish to discuss?” Mu Qingge asked.

Long Sheng’s wise eyes gleamed brightly. He smiled and said, ”Young lady, do you have Multiple Spiritual Roots too?”

Mu Qingge’s eyes slightly narrowed, but she remained silent.

”There’s no need for surprise, rumors outside are indeed true. An old man like me possesses the Double Spiritual Roots.” Long Sheng mentioned, touching his forehead with a finger, and the next moment, Mu Qingge’s eyes widened.

Two runes appeared on Long Sheng’s forehead.

One was light blue, like water ripples; the other was green, resembling leaves. These runes alternated in appearance, complementing each other.

”This is what Spiritual Roots transform into as the Heavenly Gate!?” Mu Qingge murmured. It was her first time seeing manifested Spiritual Roots, and she was deeply stunned.

”No, this isn’t the Heavenly Gate yet.” Long Sheng shook his head, and the runes on his forehead immediately vanished. ”The Heavenly Gate is formed by virtualizing Spiritual Roots, creating a portal, entering the Divine Demon Continent via the Heavenly Gate. Although I’ve refined my Spiritual Roots, I haven’t found a suitable Divine Status, so I can’t form the Heavenly Gate.”

Mu Qingge remained silent, her gaze dark and inscrutable.

Long Sheng continued, ”Young lady, if I’m correct, you have Multiple Spiritual Roots too, don’t you? Being able to refine artifacts and elixirs simultaneously, your Spiritual Roots can’t solely be fire; you likely have gold and wood too. You possess Three Spirit Roots, right?”

Three Spirit Roots? No, not just that!

However, Mu Qingge didn’t explain; her silence seemed like acquiescence.

Long Sheng nodded with a sigh, ”Indeed, talented people emerge each generation, replacing the old with the new! We are old, and you remain young. Young lady, before entering the Divine Tomb, did you ever ponder what type of Divine Status would benefit beings like us with Multiple Spiritual Roots?”

Gradually, Mu Qingge felt a sense of unease rising in her heart.

Indeed...

”To be honest, I came here to find two Divine Statuses this time. One is the Seven-Colored Divine Status, and the other is the Divine Status suitable for Xuxu,” said the elder Long Sheng.

Mu Qingge secretly breathed a sigh of relief, yet her heart felt heavy as well.

Although her first target wasn’t the Seven-Colored Divine Status, if she couldn’t find the Chaos Divine Status, she’d have to search for the Seven-Colored Divine Status. This would conflict with Long Sheng’s goal, and at that point, a fierce battle would be inevitable.

There is only one Seven-Colored Divine Status, with no choices left, they can only rely on their abilities!

”Is your target also the Seven-Colored Divine Status?” Long Sheng suddenly asked.

Mu Qingge smirked and countered, ”Does senior have a better suggestion?”

She was just pushing back a little, conveniently confirming Long Sheng’s guess.

However, unexpectedly, Long Sheng nodded and said, ”Indeed! I do have a better suggestion. Among the Divine Statuses, there is one more suitable for you, which is the Chaos Divine Status!”

Mu Qingge was surprised in her heart, ’He indeed knows about the Chaos Divine Status!’ But outwardly, she showed a look of astonishment.

She asked, ”If so, why doesn’t senior go find that Chaos Divine Status himself?”

Long Sheng shook his head with a smile and said, ”The Chaos Divine Status belongs to the Primordial Venerable. It’s not something just anyone can have. I don’t believe I have such great fortune; the Seven-Colored Divine Status is enough for me. But you are different. You were born with great fortune, achieving such accomplishments at a young age. You are capable of withstanding the Chaos Divine Status. I’m telling you this to make a deal with you. You help me acquire the Seven-Colored Divine Status, and I will help you seize the Chaos Divine Status.”

”With senior’s skills, do you still need my help?” Mu Qingge asked puzzled.

Long Sheng shook his head and said, ”The world only knows about choosing Divine Statuses, but they do not know the Divine Status is also choosing people. Compared to me, you are more attractive to the Seven-Colored Divine Status.”

Mu Qingge understood.

After talking for so long, Long Sheng was worried that the Seven-Colored Divine Status would actively choose her and therefore made his intentions clear in advance, so she’d voluntarily give up. The compensation is the Chaos Divine Status.

’If Long Sheng can really find the Chaos Divine Status, why not give him the Seven-Colored Divine Status?’ Mu Qingge calculated in her heart.

She rolled her eyes and asked, ”Does senior know the location of the Chaos Divine Status?”

Long Sheng smiled and nodded, ”My age is not in vain. I dare say no one knows better than me the location of the Seven-Colored and Chaos Divine Status.”

Mu Qingge laughed mischievously, ”Then why not let senior take me to find the Chaos Divine Status first? As long as I get the Chaos Divine Status, I won’t be after the Seven-Colored Divine Status.”

”You little girl, you’re really sharp...”

Long Sheng hadn’t finished speaking when he suddenly heard the ground shaking beneath their feet, as if it was tearing open.

His expression changed as he shouted sternly, ”Who has touched the Forbidden Technique!”

Just as he spoke, he saw two figures quickly approaching from a distance.

Mu Qingge squinted her eyes, seeing the suddenly appearing individuals, it was Heavenly Net Lord and Lin Xuanfeng!

”These two scoundrels! They must have triggered the Forbidden Technique,” Long Sheng cursed vehemently. After speaking, he removed the Barrier and rushed to protect the terrified Xuxu whose face was pale.

His granddaughter was too weak. If he did not protect her, she could die at any moment.

Meanwhile, Mu Qingge also moved toward Ji Yaohua’s group, passing by Xuxu... at this moment, the ground beneath Xuxu suddenly gave way, forming a huge circular pit with flames erupting from within, its depth unknown.

”Ah—!” Xuxu screamed, falling down.

At this moment, Long Sheng was blocked by Heavenly Net Lord and Lin Xuanfeng, unable to rescue. He shouted towards Mu Qingge, ”Girl, save Xuxu, I will immediately take you to find what you desire!”

Upon these words, Mu Qingge paused in her tracks, then turned back to look at the colossal pit behind her.

”Qingge—!”

”Qingge, it’s dangerous!”

”Qingge, come back quickly!”

Xi Qianxue, Ji Yaohua, and others shouted towards her.

However, Mu Qingge seemed not to hear them and directly jumped down.

In that instant, Mu Qingge’s leap left her five companions stunned.

As they quickly reacted, Wei Molili and Xi Qianxue rushed toward the pit, but Yao Xinghai and Ying Ze timely held them back.

”Hahahaha—! That’s Divine Fire, even if we fall in, we’ll be burned to ashes. They’re doomed to die!” Lin Xuanfeng laughed wildly.

Why did they appear suddenly, and why did they attack Long Sheng together?

Ji Yaohua and the others couldn’t understand at all, at this moment just knowing Mu Qingge’s fate was uncertain.

”Qingge won’t die!” Xi Qianxue shouted defiantly. Amid her screams, she even shed tears!

Bang—!

In the enormous circular pit, tongues of fire surged forth, preventing anyone from coming close. It seemed that approaching would result in being devoured cleanly, turned to ash.

”Qingge will be alright! You all need to remain calm!” Ji Yaohua also firmly held onto Xi Qianxue, speaking to the others.

”Alright? You’re too naïve!” Heavenly Net Lord mocked.

Long Sheng, long worried over Xuxu, found his rage uncontrollable. His eyes turned blood-red and his attacks grew fiercer. His palm chopped Lin Xuanfeng’s shoulder, and he yelled violently, ”If anything happens to Xuxu, I will make you two scoundrels pay with your lives!”

”Hmph, if you’d handed over the Divine Tomb Map earlier, your granddaughter wouldn’t have died in vain today!” Heavenly Net Lord snorted coldly.

Divine Tomb Map?!

Long Sheng actually had the Divine Tomb Map!

Heavenly Net Lord’s words shocked Yao Xinghai and five others.

Long Sheng’s gaze grew fierce, murder intent surging. ”It was my soft heart that kept me from killing you outside the Divine Tomb! Today is your death day!”

Long Sheng was relentless, the Peak of Tribulation Crossing, with the strength of three Heavenly Tribulations, fully unleashed, pushing Heavenly Net Lord and Lin Xuanfeng into retreat.

They joined forces, yet could not withstand Long Sheng, no wonder they resorted to ambushing.

However, even so, Xuxu’s disappearance fueled Long Sheng’s murderous fervor, and he used the Dragon Head Staff to crush Lin Xuanfeng’s collarbone and pierce Heavenly Net Lord’s heart.

”Ah—!”

”Ah—!”

The two screamed miserably, one after another.
