Then, she turned her head to look at the female disciple in charge of task contribution. "Senior Sister, if I heard it correctly, was it just mentioned that Mu Qiu is useless?"
"I... I..."
The female disciple's face turned stiff, and she was at a loss for words for a long time.
Apparently, the girl in the purple skirt holds a respectable position within the sect.
Hengshan Sect, the head of the Twelve Roses, Tang Ying!
"It's Tang... Senior Sister Tang Ying!"
"It's indeed Senior Sister Tang!"
For a moment, the disciples in the main hall looked at each other in surprise.
When did Mu Qiu become acquainted with the jewel in the palm of the sect leader?
Even Mu Qiu was slightly dazed; he had never imagined that the girl he saved would have such a high standing.
"Flattering, do you know how to write these four words?" At this moment, Tang Ying gave a light smile to the female disciple responsible for task contributions, saying, "Now, I ask that you leave here. I will find someone to replace your position."
Upon hearing this, the female disciple was stunned, like a wooden chicken.
It's not easy to find a position within the sect that is both rewarding and easy.
For her to be working in the task hall now, she was not easily replaced...
But now, just because of an unintentional statement, she had provoked the sect leader's daughter.
It seems that there is no mistake in the saying, "trouble starts with the mouth."
"Eh, Senior Sister Tang..." Mu Qiu scratched his head, coughed lightly, and leisurely said, "This isn't... quite right, is it?"
He didn't expect that the somewhat naïve girl from Fire Wolf Valley would act so domineeringly!
"There's nothing wrong with it!" Tang Ying pouted, somewhat dissatisfied. "If she looks down on you for no reason, it's as if she is looking down on me!"
Mu Qiu coughed awkwardly, his face a picture of confusion.
What kind of logic is this?!
He could sense the astonished and incredulous looks from the disciples behind him.
Clearly, some people had misunderstood...
"Here, let me contribute some points for you first."
Tang Ying grabbed the identity token from Mu Qiu's hand before he could refuse, and pressed it into the groove of a stone tablet.
Just like that, she boldly contributed ten thousand points to Mu Qiu!
Ten thousand points!
My goodness, some might not even earn such a number of points even after completing hundreds of tasks!
"That's enough, Senior Sister Tang. It's not that much."
Seeing Tang Ying wanting to insert even more points into his identity token, Mu Qiu hurriedly raised his hand to stop her, and pulled out a bag containing the fire wolf's inner alchemy. "Senior Sister Tang, I only got one thousand two hundred and fifty points for this mission, not ten thousand!"
"You saved my life. Don’t mention ten thousand, even if it’s one hundred thousand, it’s not too much!" Tang Ying blinked her big sparkling eyes, her lips slightly upturned. "Are you saying my life is not worth these contribution points?"
"No, I..." Mu Qiu scratched his head and waved his hand. "Never mind, don't fill in anymore. Ten thousand is really not a small amount!"
The so-called wealth is not exposed. Tang Ying publicly recharged ten thousand points for him in front of so many disciples. That was enough to make people green with envy!
If he asked for more, he’d truly be courting public displeasure!
After all, Mu Qiu understood very well the saying: "Big trees attract the wind."
After all, ten thousand contributions for inner sect disciples could exchange for quite a few resources.
Tang Ying, seeing Mu Qiu reject her, could not help but roll her eyes exaggeratedly.
Just as she was about to say something else, an emaciated silver-haired old man slowly walked into the grand hall.
"Greetings, Elder Zhou."
The disciples in the hall one by one bowed, respectfully saluting.
The silver-haired man was none other than Hengshan Sect's current Elder of Skill Transmission, Zhou Ze.
At this moment, Zhou Ze did not pay attention to the rest, but instead slowly walked to Tang Ying's side and whispered a few words.
"Mmm, I understand." Tang Ying nodded her head, then turned to Mu Qiu, revealing her canine teeth, "Little Mu, I have some things to do and must go first; I'll find you later."
Having said that, Tang Ying elegantly turned and left.
Zhou Ze followed closely behind her. When they reached the door of the hall, he halted.
Turning around, he glanced at Mu Qiu with great significance.
Without uttering a word, he slowly walked away.
Mu Qiu, watching the two gradually receding figures, felt a bit bewildered, but almost instantly his eyes cleared. Raising his hand to his lips, he softly coughed, "Cough... what are you all looking at? Disperse!"
Having said that, under the gaze of all the disciples, he gracefully walked out of the grand hall.
Mu Qiu's departure awakened the stunned disciples present.
Moments later, there was an uproar.
This Mu Qiu truly showed everyone what it means to be fiercely ambitious.
Unknown to all, he had managed to associate himself with the sect master's daughter—a rank higher up!
This news was sure to spread like a profound and shocking revelation.
Soon, it would erupt throughout the entire outer sect.
Even the inner disciples were gradually becoming aware of this matter.
Mu Qiu himself didn't know that his "relationship" with Tang Ying would be widely spread soon. At this moment, he arrived at the treasury, and under the shocked eyes of Sun Dahai, he exchanged for a hundred spirit stones and fifty sets of medicinal materials for refining Qi Enhancing Pills.
As soon as he returned to his residence, Mu Qiu immediately began isolating himself for cultivation.
Within the inherited space,
Mu Qiu sat at the center of the altar, looking at the blood mirror.
After a moment, he let out a long sigh.
"I hope I won't be disappointed!"
Speaking of which, he directly picked up a portion of the ingredients for the Base Building Pill, placing it on the blood mirror.
Just as he had predicted, the next moment, the ingredients for the Base Building Pill slowly sank into the blood mirror. Seeing this, Mu Qiu was thrilled, but he didn't immediately place the crystal stone.
Not until he had waited for a long time.
Seeing that the blood mirror still had no reaction...
Only then did Mu Qiu put in the next crystal stone.
The crystal stone was swiftly engulfed by the blood mirror.

Yet these were the resting places of the demon race's past emperors. Suddenly, Mu Qiu remembered — earlier, the old man had mentioned that these demon emperors, once revered for their great deeds, had all met with ill omens in their twilight years. A chill crept down Mu Qiu's spine. He shook his head sharply, as if to dislodge the thought. His curiosity was getting the better of him — and that never ended well.However, the moment he pondered deeper, a bone-chilling dread crept through his entire body. He dared not think further. Trembling fear. Burning curiosity. Two conflicting emotions tangled within him, tearing him apart."Hey, kid." The disheveled old man — who had been focused on scattering dirt ahead — suddenly halted and turned around. His voice was soft but deliberate. "Take a look at this soil. Doesn't it strike you as unusual?"Snapping back to reality, Mu Qiu froze for a moment. The old man had actually spoken to him first. This was unexpected — Mu Qiu had grown accustome

The vicissitudes of time. Mu Qiu felt as though an eternity had passed.As he stepped out of the wooden cabin, just like any other day, his clumsy figure suddenly froze.Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?Endless questions flashed through his mind. A glimmer of clarity pierced through his long-dulled vacant eyes. His gaze sharpened, growing clear once more."How did I end up here?"Mu Qiu lowered his head, murmuring to himself. A pensive expression settled over his face. And in that very moment, Mu Qiu — who had been numb and indifferent for so long — finally awoke. His three ethereal souls and seven earthly spirits seemed to snap back into place at once. A turbid breath escaped his lips. A sharp glint flashed from his eyes.Before him, reality blurred into illusion, as if he were drifting through clouds. He saw things that had once been invisible to him. Like those spine-chilling graves — before, they had merely appeared as ordinary mounds of earth. But now, squinting, he noticed
Chapter 208
By the time the slovenly old man's movements roused him again, it was already daylight the next day. Mu Qiu followed the old man down over a dozen different paths, witnessing no fewer than a thousand graves of demon emperors. Yet all these tombs shared one common trait — even the newest headstones had been erected tens of thousands of years ago. In the last fifty millennia, not a single new grave had appeared.After trudging along various paths for over ten more days with the disheveled old man, this time the elder finally didn't lead him down a new route. Not that he was really leading Mu Qiu — because Mu Qiu was starting to suspect that the scruffy old man genuinely hadn't noticed his presence. Following the elder onto a familiar path, Mu Qiu recognized every single tombstone along the way. Was he doomed to repeat the same tedious routine?Sure enough, the old man resumed his monotonous tasks — scattering soil where it was due, ranting when the mood struck. A flicker of frustration
Chapter 207
Mu Qiu noticed that despite the old man's words, there were glistening drops in his murky eyes — as if tears were about to fall. Mu Qiu walked over to the tombstone in question. He waved his hand in front of the indescribable liquid, its foul stench assaulting his senses. Then, with some effort, he made out the name carved on the weathered stone tablet: Demon Emperor Xunkong.No doubt, this had once been a mighty demon emperor who shook the heavens and earth. Alas, time is the most merciless of all. No matter how peerless one may have been in life, there inevitably comes a day when even the strongest grow feeble with age.Mu Qiu, of course, couldn't be as disrespectful as the old man. In the end, he still scooped up a handful of yellow earth and added it to Demon Emperor Xunkong's grave — a gesture of reverence. For the strong, no matter the era, deserve the respect they are owed.After walking for a long time behind the disheveled old man, the elder suddenly turned and hurried back t
Chapter 206
Unable to resist, two streams of bitter tears rolled down Mu Qiu's face in regret. Why on earth had he followed that wretched old man in the first place? Tears fell from his eyes, and his heart bled in anguish. Powerless to fight back, Mu Qiu felt his heart shatter into pieces. In that instant, his thoughts turned to Tang Ying. If he somehow survived this ordeal, how could he ever face her again? This humiliation was unbearable for any man. Mu Qiu would rather die than endure such torment.After a long internal struggle, an unusual sensation suddenly arose from his rear. Slowly, he closed his eyes. His heart turned to ashes. If escape was impossible... then let the storm rage even fiercer.Just as he was bracing himself to endure the cruel twist of fate with bitter resignation —Smack!A sharp, crisp sound suddenly rang out. The searing pain that exploded across his backside nearly made Mu Qiu cry out. Mu Qiu was furious now. He was already about to be humiliated by these damned spect

The footsteps grew louder. At first, they had been scattered and chaotic. But now, they fell into perfect, rhythmic unison — like a well-trained army on the march.This time, Mu Qiu finally saw what lurked beyond the window. Emerging from the endless darkness was a mighty demonic legion. Their tattered armor and rusted weapons left no doubt — these were undoubtedly demons. The army moved with eerie precision, cutting through the howling, frigid storm as if it were nothing. The leading general held a long halberd, its blade heavily rusted. Some of the soldiers carried broken spears, their weapons shattered and useless. Their eyes were hollow, devoid of life. They didn't seem to be living beings at all.As they drew closer, Mu Qiu could distinctly smell a foul, rotting stench — utterly repulsive. The demonic soldiers emitted a faint, eerie green glow as they marched forward in perfect formation, their destination unknown. A procession of ghostly soldiers. Though Mu Qiu had never witness
