Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 1005: Chapter 90: The Secret of Little Leaf Pavilion

Bet on it!

Mu Qingge made up her mind and used the Star Beginning Step, constantly changing shape, and charged towards the maze guards ahead.

As soon as she moved, she immediately caught the attention of the ten guards.

However, before they could react, Mu Qingge was already in front of them.

The constantly shifting figure moved so fast that it was impossible to catch.

The cold gleam of the short sword in Mu Qingge’s hand swept across, flashing between blades and shadows, and she clashed with the maze guards. With just one move, Mu Qingge used the force generated during the block to propel herself to the wall.

With the wall behind her, a golden glint appeared in Mu Qingge’s eyes, shooting out two rays of sharp light. The maze guards surrounding her suddenly had a layer of confusion in their eyes, their movements slowing down.

Seizing this opportunity, Mu Qingge retreated back.

Indeed, her back didn’t touch a cold, hard wall, but something soft like cotton.

As soon as her back sunk into it, a force pulled her in, instantly disappearing from the guards’ sight. As she vanished, clarity returned to the guards’ eyes.

They stood in their positions, looked at each other, with confusion in their eyes.

”What just happened?” one of them asked.

The other nine shook their heads blankly, seemingly having no memory of anyone appearing just now.

Their reactions, along with the absence of any residual signs of fighting in the surroundings, left them puzzled but not dwelling further on it.

Exchanging glances, they composed themselves and continued to guard their positions.

Behind the wall, it was as if Mu Qingge had entered a new space.

Here was a grassland, not far from the grassland was a lake, where the lake shimmered faintly, its scenery hidden within.

”Let’s hope that moment erased their memory of those few moments,” Mu Qingge murmured to herself. The golden glint in her eyes was a divine sense attack, wiping out those maze guards’ memory of a few moments.

Though it was only a few moments, the time she appeared in front of them was also only a few moments.

As long as they forget she appeared, it would prevent alerting Wuhua God Emperor, making her next actions safer.

”Is this Little Leaf Pavilion?” She muttered, observing her surroundings and the buildings on the lake, hazy as if veiled by gauze.

Taking a deep breath, she did not lower her guard.

She looked down at the grass by the lake, seemingly ordinary without anything special.

Yet, she noticed something amiss!

In Mu Qingge’s clear eyes, glimmers of calculation emerged. She detected that these grasses concealed a forbidden technique.

She lightly curled her lips, with a faint smile. This time, she did not try to break the forbidden technique, but stepped with special footwork, suppressing the grassland’s technique, and reached the lakeside.

Standing by the lake, the mist lingering over the lake gradually moved towards Mu Qingge, attempting to enshroud her.

Mu Qingge calmly watched the mist, reaching out to brush through the white mist. Suddenly, she sneered, ”Just as I thought, spiced up.”

The lingering mist piqued her suspicion.

After careful inspection, she discovered that the mist contained a toxin, which if inhaled unknowingly, would solidify divine power within the body, turning a Divine into a Mortal instantly.

Mu Qingge’s gaze shifted from the thin mist to the tranquil lake surface.

She could sense beneath the seemingly calm lake, strong, extraordinary power fluctuations.

’Girl, why is there a Beast Clan aura here?’ Suddenly, the voice of Hǒu echoed in Mu Qingge’s mind.

Beast Clan!

Mu Qingge’s eyes brightened with intrigue. ’It seems a powerful guardian beast is hidden beneath this lake.’

Having guessed the lake’s source of power, Mu Qingge’s eyebrows arched.

This Nine Curves Maze and Little Leaf Pavilion truly are filled with forbidden techniques and traps at every step. If she hadn’t learned much, with strong and keen divine sense, and being cautious, she might have unknowingly fallen prey.

’Uncle Hǒu, how can I cross the lake to reach the pavilion without alarming the guardian beast at the lake’s bottom?’ Mu Qingge asked Hǒu in her mind.

Hǒu laughed dismissively, ’What’s so difficult about that? Letting my presence out, that thing inside wouldn’t dare make a peep!’

Mu Qingge smirked, telling him, ’If Uncle Hǒu is so confident, then I’m assured.’

’Girl, you can cross the lake safely. I guarantee nothing inside would dare harm you in the slightest,’ Hǒu assured Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge nodded lightly, took a deep breath, and her figure dashed towards the lake...

Immune to toxins, she had no worry about the mist’s toxin affecting her.

However, as she crossed halfway, the tranquil lake surface suddenly began to boil, accompanied by roars from the Beast Clan at the lake’s bottom.

She looked down at the boiling lake, and suddenly Hǒu’s presence radiated from her.

At the same time, Hǒu’s voice echoed. ’Hmph! Courting death.’

Suddenly, the boiling lake surface calmed instantly. Mu Qingge could feel the thing at the bottom of the lake seemed to be afraid, even fearful.

A single roar made the unknown guardian beast at the bottom tremble, not daring to move.

The reputation of Hou, the Ancestor of Fierce Beasts, was indeed well-deserved!

Mu Qingge was slightly delighted and quickly skimmed over the lake, landing outside the One Leaf Pavilion in the lake’s center.

Standing outside the One Leaf Pavilion, Mu Qingge immediately sensed the presence of a protective barrier.

This barrier was not a trap to ensnare but a barrier to prevent anyone from approaching. It was as if a transparent shield enveloped the pavilion in the lake’s center.

Mu Qingge raised her hand and lightly touched the barrier, instantly feeling a force pushing back against her palm.

She didn’t rush to break in but took a closer look at the exterior of the Little Leaf Pavilion.

The Little Leaf Pavilion resembled a small house built on the lake surface, neither large nor small. It had walls all around, preventing anyone from seeing its interior.

Withdrawing her gaze, Mu Qingge began working to unravel the barrier.

Fortunately, the Wuhua God Emperor only studied barriers rather than mastering them. Otherwise, just breaking one after another would have taken her an unknown amount of time.

But this tightly guarded Little Leaf Pavilion made her even more curious.

If there wasn’t something crucial inside, the Wuhua God Emperor wouldn’t have gone to such lengths.

The thought that perhaps the Fragmented Scripture of the Divine Strategy Lower Volume might be hidden in the pavilion before her made even the calm Mu Qingge feel a subtle thrill.

The barrier of defense wasn’t difficult to break. In just a moment, Mu Qingge had dismantled the barrier, and the transparent shield before her vanished instantly, leaving the path ahead unobstructed.

Mu Qingge stood still, using her Divine Sense to briefly scan the area and found no remaining barrier fluctuations inside, reassuring her as she boldly walked in.

Easily opening the door to the One Leaf Pavilion, Mu Qingge slipped inside.

Simultaneously, she quickly shut the door.

Inside the One Leaf Pavilion, the bright lights illuminated everything clearly, saving Mu Qingge a lot of time.

She quickly surveyed the room and, upon seeing the layout, was taken aback.

The Little Leaf Pavilion’s decor was very simple, with only an ice bed and nothing else. On the ice bed lay a person, completely silent.

Mu Qingge paced slowly forward.

When she saw the person lying on the ice bed clearly, her pupils contracted abruptly, and she cried out involuntarily, ”Chu Nian!”

The person lying on the ice bed looked exactly like Chu Nian, which understandably made Mu Qingge lose composure. But being an Alchemist, she could easily discern that the person on the bed had been dead for many years and wasn’t the Princess Chu Nian with whom she had chatted not long ago.

”This...” Mu Qingge was a bit confused.

The Wuhua God Emperor used the Nine Curves Maze, along with layers of barriers, guardian beasts, and so forth, merely to guard a pavilion that hid only a female corpse?

”Isn’t this the cultivation place of the Wuhua God Emperor? Isn’t it the forbidden area of the Divine Emperor Palace?” Mu Qingge muttered to herself.

The previous hope at this moment turned to nothing.

At this moment, Hou’s voice sounded again, ’There’s an aura of Beast Clan.’

Beast Clan’s aura?

Mu Qingge looked up at the woman on the ice bed, indeed not of the Divine Clan, but of the Beast Clan! On the Divine Demon Continent, the gathering place of the Beast Clan is only one, the Demon Forest.

In the forbidden area of the Wuhua God Emperor’s palace, there’s a female corpse that looks exactly like Chu Nian, moreover, this corpse belongs to the Beast Clan; it all seemed bizarre.

But her goal wasn’t this, it was to find the whereabouts of the Divine Strategy Lower Volume.

’Young Master, use the Divine Strategy Middle Volume to refine your Divine Sense and see if there’s any response. If the Divine Strategy Lower Volume is here, even just a single word would resonate.’ The High Priest’s voice rang out.

This made Mu Qingge’s eyes shine, and she promptly followed the advice.

However, after operating three times, there was no response in her Divine Sense. Disappointment began to show in her eyes. ’It seems the Divine Strategy Lower Volume is not here.’

With the Divine Strategy Lower Volume not in the One Leaf Pavilion, Mu Qingge felt somewhat dejected.

After all, she had spent so much effort, coming with such strong hope. But she wasn’t one to wallow in self-pity. A brief moment of disappointment later, she regained her fighting spirit.

If it’s not here, then there’s only one place left.

Mu Qingge thought it over in her heart.

Only, that place wouldn’t be easy to search.

’Let’s leave here first,’ Mu Qingge thought to herself. As she left, she glanced back at the woman lying on the ice bed who looked just like Chu Nian before exiting the One Leaf Pavilion.

But as she landed on the grass on the opposite side of the lake, a sound of alarm rang out from afar.

’Damn!’ Mu Qingge inwardly cursed.

No need to think much, she knew it must be Mu Tianyin circling in the maze exposed.
