Chapter 92: My Mother Is Very Strong

"That soon?"

Zhu Qing’s face had gone pale and drained; her voice carried a note of desolation.

A flicker of displeasure crossed Mu Wan’s eyes, and she loosened her arms around Ye Nine Demons. Though she had a thousand words to say, this was not the time.

"You little rascal, did your father call you Nine Demons, or Little Demon?"

"Mother, call me whatever you like..."

"Heh... Then come out with me and see whose child is so ill-mannered as to spoil this reunion between mother and son. And Qingyu, you had better keep him in line from now on..."

"Mother, can we not talk about this?"

"And you still know how to be embarrassed?"

Mu Wan spoke with a trace of amusement in her voice.

Suddenly, another thunderous barrage sounded outside.

"Come on, let’s go out."

Mu Wan frowned, and the displeasure on her face deepened.

Ye Nine Demons even sensed a faint, elusive killing intent, and his gaze at once fell on Mu Wan.

"Mother, back then you..."

"Back then? Back then I came here stepping over mountains of corpses and seas of fire. But over the years, everything has been worn away; even my killing intent has grown dull..."

As the group headed outside, Mu Wan chatted idly with Ye Nine Demons.

At the same time, Luo Qingyu looked as though she were a shy bride meeting her in-laws. She had become somewhat restrained, her pretty face flushed red, and she did not dare speak.

Now and then, Ye Nine Demons’ words made her want to laugh, but afraid that Mu Wan would dislike it, she forced herself to keep silent.

"Qingyu, do I look that frightening to you?"

"N-no, no, not at all. Mother is wonderful. I just... I don’t even dare laugh, and still I’m saying Mother is wonderful. Mother hasn’t treated me badly this whole year, so have you forgotten Mother as soon as you saw Little Demon?"

Mu Wan said teasingly.

"I, I, I..." Luo Qingyu was instantly at a loss for words.

Like a girl next door, she had never experienced anything like this, and so when faced with Mu Wan’s words, she truly had no reply.

"All right, let’s go." Seeing Luo Qingyu’s expression, Mu Wan could not help but smile. The girl was rather nice, and she was quick to change how she addressed her too.

...

Outside the Jade Heaven Sect.

At this moment, a crowd had returned once more.

They filled the sky in full force, each of them looking fierce and malicious, their inner vital energy surging wildly as they continuously bombarded the Jade Heaven Sect’s grand array.

Many female disciples stood at the ready, gazing up into the sky.

"What do we do? The sect master has entered the prison; she probably won’t be back in time..."

"Our Jade Heaven Sect’s formation is not so easy to break through. All we can do now is hope the sect master learns of this and hurries back."

"Yes."

The female disciples all looked upward, then down at the dense formation of people on the ground, their faces full of worry and solemnity.

These newcomers were aggressive beyond measure, and some had already begun to act frantically.

"Keep going, it’s about to break..."

Suddenly, someone shouted commands.

These people were largely from the Heavenly faction’s seventh-rank sects. They were only a short distance from the Jade Heaven Sect, and could arrive within half a day.

Thus, it was these people now trying to force their way through the Jade Heaven Sect’s gates.

"The lineup is not small. Too bad there are none of those sixth-rank sects from above; it takes away a bit of the fun," Mu Wan said with faint regret.

Ye Nine Demons looked at his mother with some surprise.

"Let Mother show you what true strength is. Under the sixth rank, all sects are nothing but ants."

With that, Mu Wan had already stepped into the void. Everyone’s eyes followed her.

The people attacking the formation narrowed their eyes, and terror filled them.

"Mu Wan?!"

Someone recognized her, but Mu Wan gave no reaction at all, merely raising her gaze.

"The Jade Heaven Sect once saved me; they have shown me kindness. Therefore, all of you must be... slain."

After speaking coldly, Mu Wan slowly lifted one hand.

At once, heaven and earth darkened.

"Run!"

The instant those people saw Mu Wan make her move, they did not hesitate in the slightest. They shouted at the top of their lungs, and in an instant the crowd scattered in panic, fleeing in all directions.

"Hmph, trying to run?"

Mu Wan gave a cold snort, and the sky and earth erupted with a deafening roar.

Watching his mother so overwhelmingly powerful, Ye Nine Demons could not help but tremble. He only felt a terrifying force winding around them all.

"My mother is this strong?!"

Ye Nine Demons was astonished, but not only him, even Zhu Qing, Luo Qingyu, and the others were the same.

Because Mu Wan was... a criminal.

The criminal of the Jade Heaven Sect. No one had ever seen her make a move, because everyone who had seen it was already dead.

What circulated outside were only legends of her; ordinary people simply could not compare.

Thus, Mu Wan once again proved herself.

That sky-covering hand, like a fisher’s net cast wide, instantly closed in. Within it, radiance blazed brilliantly, exuding terrifying fluctuations of vital energy.

"My temperament has always been good, so all of you must be... slain."

"What?!"

Ye Nine Demons was momentarily unable to react. His mother had actually reached such an astonishing level?

What happened to having a good temper?

The next second, the sky was already filled with blood.

Then the wind rose.

Carried by the wind, that blood spread and vanished into the heavens.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

The people of the Jade Heaven Sect were dumbfounded.

Zhu Qing and Luo Qingyu were dumbfounded.

Even Ye Nine Demons was the same.

"Little Demon, Qingyu, let us go and talk about when the two of you will give me a grandson..."

Mu Wan clapped her hands, her face bright with a warm smile as she looked at Ye Nine Demons and Luo Qingyu.

"Mother, you used to... no, what level is your strength at now?"

"How should I know? Probably crushing a fifth-rank sect master is not much trouble..."

"......"

Ye Nine Demons felt that he should not have asked. At this moment, all he knew was that his mother was very strong, strong to a shocking degree, strong in a way that defied all reason.

This was far too powerful.

Then didn’t that mean he would not need to work so desperately hard in cultivation anymore?

A thought suddenly surfaced in Ye Nine Demons’ heart.

"Stop overthinking it. Let’s go have a chat. It’s been so long since I’ve seen you. Mother has missed you terribly..."

Luo Qingyu’s face turned slightly red, because the look Mu Wan gave her and Ye Nine Demons was self-evident.

It was the gaze of a mother-in-law waiting to hold her grandson, pure and simple, so simple it could not be simpler.

After Zhu Qing watched the few of them leave, she slowly came back to herself and turned toward the interior of the Jade Heaven Sect, quickly making arrangements for everything.

...

Profound Connection Sect.

Outside, the land was dark with people. A uniform mass of ninth-rank sect members had arrived at the foot of the Profound Connection Sect’s mountain.

Not only ninth-rank; even eighth-rank and seventh-rank sects had come as well.

"Sect Master, what do you think of this Profound Connection Sect?"

"If we take it, we can learn the secrets of the Emperor-Tracking Mink and the secrets of Profound Connection. What do you say to that?"

The person with the noble bearing asked in reply.

"Uh..."

At once, the other man realized he had asked the wrong question.

"Take it!"

The seventh-rank sect master gave the order indifferently.

It was as if the Profound Connection Sect were already something to be taken at a glance. In an instant, the ninth-rank sects burst forth and rushed rapidly toward the Profound Connection Sect.

"They... have arrived!"

Nangong Mingyue’s expression was grave. In her hand was a pigeon, with a letter tied to its leg.

"Old Third, if the newcomers have not made it back, then remember to hold the sect steady. Perhaps I... will have to leave."

Nangong Mingyue looked at Xuan Three with sorrow.

"All right."

Xuan Three knew this battle could not be avoided.

And at this moment, with Ye Nine Demons absent, the only one who could preserve the Profound Connection Sect was the woman before them, this mysterious woman of unknown origins.
