Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 703: Chapter 557 First!

“What happened to the Taishang Sect?”

The other factions didn’t expect this turn of events. Even if Mu Kexian only obtained three drops of Moon Milk, it shouldn’t have made a King-Level cultivator like Ge Qiu lose his temper.

Zhou Yun was quite pleased. Elder Ge’s expression was so grim, and he couldn’t even control his own Star Power pressure. It seemed something unexpected had happened in the Secret Realm that even caught Elder Ge off guard.

“Elder Ge, why are you so agitated? Take a deep breath and calm down. This isn’t good for your health. Don’t let your anger drop you to the ground!”

Hearing Zhou Yun’s words, Ge Qiu’s face darkened even more, but he withdrew his Star Power pressure.

Staring intently at Mu Kexian, Ge Qiu waved his hand to cast a layer of Star Power to isolate any probing, and said in a deep voice, “What exactly happened?”

Despite being glared at by a King-Level cultivator with such anger, Mu Kexian remained unphased inside.

In just two short days, Mu Kexian had already overcome the backlash of the Love Sword and returned to the Forget Love Realm.

But something seemed different.

It felt as if some stronger emotion was occupying all the emotional space in his heart.

“Jiang Heng cultivated the Demon Technique and killed Senior Brother Zhang…” Mu Kexian methodically explained the situation in the Secret Realm step by step.

But when he mentioned Jiang Heng absorbing Ji Changye’s Star Power and breaking through to Radiant Moon, Mu Kexian paused slightly. The person who draped a black robe over him appeared in his mind.

“He broke through to Radiant Moon, and then what?”

Seeing Ge Qiu’s face as calm as water with anger simmering in his eyes, Mu Kexian’s eyes flashed slightly as he continued:

“Taking advantage of his breakthrough, I merged with my sword and escaped. For some reason, he didn’t pursue me.

Later, I sensed a battle and went back to find only some corpse fragments, which, from their remaining aura, seemed to belong to Jiang Heng.

Besides that, the person who fought him had also disappeared without leaving any traces.”

Ge Qiu squinted his eyes at Mu Kexian. “Is that really so?”

Mu Kexian responded expressionlessly, “Yes.”

After giving Mu Kexian another look, Ge Qiu withdrew his gaze.

Although Mu Kexian’s last words were somewhat forced, it didn’t matter anymore.

The important thing was… This sword fight yielded only three drops of Moon Milk for the Taishang Sect. Forget about first place, they might even end up last!

“Jiang Heng, you fool!!” Ge Qiu cursed inwardly.

He had hoped that Jiang Heng could use the reversed Heavenly Person Dao Method to break through to Radiant Moon and sweep through the Secret Realm to take first place.

Unexpectedly, he devoured Zhang Chunyi?

Devouring him was one thing, but how could he get killed in the Secret Realm after breaking through to Radiant Moon? This was beyond Ge Qiu’s expectations!

Truly an idiot who accomplished nothing but spoiled everything!!

Taking a deep breath to forcefully calm his emotions, Ge Qiu looked again at Mu Kexian before him.

“So you also don’t know who killed that traitor Jiang Heng?”

Meeting Ge Qiu’s gaze, Mu Kexian replied, “I do not know.”

Ge Qiu waved his hand slightly. “Fine, you may leave.”

Though his rage was intense, Ge Qiu was still a King-Level cultivator. What was done was done; he could only accept the result.

As for who killed Jiang Heng and disrupted his plans… there were only a few strong enough to do so. He would find out soon enough.

Mu Kexian returned to his team but felt a bit dazed.

He didn’t know why he had just wanted to cover for him, even to the point of lying rather than exposing him.

Even though from his perspective, this cover-up was ultimately unnecessary.

“He saved me, so I wanted to help him… Yes, that’s it.”

Mu Kexian’s gaze gradually turned dreamy, and the person’s aura inexplicably surfaced in his heart, indelibly…

“Senior Sister, are you okay? Are you hurt?” Xu Ziqing asked softly from behind.

“I’m fine.” Mu Kexian snapped back to his senses, suppressing the thoughts in his mind, and then focused his attention.

However… Jiang Heng’s situation seemed complicated.

Learning of Jiang Heng’s death, Ge Qiu’s rage seemed unusually directed.

It was not because Jiang Heng killed a fellow disciple, Chou Wuliang but rather seemed directed at the one who killed Jiang Heng…

Mu Kexian vaguely sensed something but decided not to mention the matter further since it was over.

In any case, with his master around, any sect issues wouldn’t fall on him.

At that moment, there was more movement at the teleportation gate. Fang Shenyi from the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect also emerged.

Sixteen beams of white light shot up from the Moon Disk before Fang Shenyi, extraordinarily bright!

“Sixteen drops of Moon Milk, as expected of Fang Shenyi! Just with him alone, the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect is now temporarily in first place!”

Fang Shenyi put away the Moon Disk and returned to Linghu Yao’s side. “Sword Master.”

Linghu Yao nodded. “Sixteen drops of Moon Milk, well done!”

If not for knowing Zhong Xiu was dead, Linghu Yao might be in a better mood.

“Did you see Zhong Xiu and Sikong Liu?” Linghu Yao asked.

Fang Shenyi’s expression slightly darkened as he shook his head. “I didn’t encounter either of them in the Secret Realm.”

Linghu Yao furrowed his brow. “Not even Sikong Liu?”

“No.”

Fang Shenyi also frowned and couldn’t help but look towards the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect’s direction. If necessary, he would have to ask Zhuang Tian for information.

Not long after, the white light reappeared in front of the teleportation gate, and this time it was a disciple from the Demon Sky Palace dressed in a gold-threaded black robe.
