Chapter 327: I Hold No Grudges and Am Very Generous!

Chapter 327: I Hold No Grudges and Am Very Generous!

The Sky Eye is powerful, a fact known to every citizen of the Qin Kingdom.

Nuclear weapons are strong, right? A single high-yield nuclear weapon can destroy a mountain and level a city!

However, compared to the Sky Eye, nuclear weapons seem like a lesser threat.

The Sky Eye not only possesses precise strikes and long-range targeted kills but can also unleash devastating large-scale attacks.

But even with its precision, the Sky Eye has a limited attack range.

At its smallest, it still covers an area the size of a large building.

Therefore, if Mu Longxian were to activate the Sky Eye, the death toll would undoubtedly exceed a thousand, perhaps even ten thousand.

"Hmph, they're just insignificant grass, and if they die, they die."

In the past, when the Yang family's grandson passed away, over three thousand minor officials throughout the province died from the ensuing chaos.

"How can my son be worth less than the Yang family's grandson?" Mu Longxian spoke with resentment.

Back then, even civil servants were implicated, and more than half of them perished.

Now, these commoners in the mall are mere mortals. If they die, they die.

As for public opinion?

That's easy.

Gui Ran Kingdom, under the instigation of the Ancient Witch Kingdom, carried out a terrorist attack.

Such incidents have occurred numerous times in cooperation between the Qin Yuan Kingdom and the Ancient Witch Kingdom.

They merely shift the blame to each other.

Previously, when the upper echelons of the Ancient Witch Kingdom lost their temper, they destroyed one of their own towns, causing mass casualties.

In the end, the blame fell on the Qin Yuan Kingdom, who took the fall.

The commoners not only didn't suspect their superiors but even united against the enemy nation.

As for suspicion... well, let them suspect.

The Seven Star Warriors have absolute control and fear no resistance from the lower classes.

"My... my brother is still in the mall!" Han Kang exclaimed anxiously.

At this moment, he had lost his composure.

"My son is dead, so what if your brother dies too?" Mu Longxian said firmly.

"Activate Mu 03 Sky Eye, location..." Mu Longxian issued the command.

He had lost his mind.

After his son's death, his status within the family had greatly diminished.

Now, only by eliminating Qi Yuan could he alleviate the hatred in his heart.

More importantly, his mission also included the elimination of Qi Yuan.

Just as he was about to finish speaking, a voice suddenly reached his ears.

"Are you the one my husband mentioned, who killed the small, and then the middle within the middle?"

The voice was abrupt, somewhat ethereal, and also somewhat alluring.

Mu Longxian was slightly stunned, and the people in the hall were shocked by this voice.

Suddenly, a young man and woman appeared in the hall, seemingly out of nowhere.

These young people were none other than the protagonists from the footage they had just watched.

They were about ten kilometers away, weren't they?

After just a few sentences of conversation, how did they suddenly appear here? Mu Longxian felt an impending disaster and hurriedly roared, "Guards, capture them!"

He was genuinely terrified.

Han Kang was also stunned, looking at his brother's friend with a sense of absurdity.

Was that person from before... the legendary immortal?

Although he had the qualifications to be here today, in reality, he still had a vague understanding of Qi Yuan's identity.

Therefore, when faced with Mu Longxian's use of the Sky Eye, he felt it was utterly absurd and incomprehensible, and he couldn't accept it.

Now, with Ning Tuo and Qi Yuan suddenly appearing, he instantly understood, and he connected this to the previous incident at the Gui Ran Military Camp.

Qi Yuan's gaze fell upon Mu Longxian, and the smile in his eyes was dazzling: "It feels so good to have a powerful backer."

As he said this, he intentionally bent down, and his hand, reaching under Ning Tuo's black skirt, embraced her thigh.

However, at this moment, no one noticed these subtle movements.

He looked at Mu Longxian and continued, "Killing the small, the villainous middle, one after another, extremely united.

But I... well, I have my wife's thigh to hold.

I'm not afraid of your unity; I'm afraid of your disunity. Otherwise... wouldn't it mean I can't wipe out your entire family?"

Qi Yuan wasn't just talking about embracing; he was a man of action.

Currently, in terms of physical strength alone, Qi Yuan was far inferior to Ning Tuo.

Naturally, it was best to cling tightly to his wife's thigh.

Qi Yuan's voice was calm, but it sounded particularly out of place.

Ning Tuo's cheeks flushed slightly: "After killing the middle, I'll accompany my husband... to kill the old."

As her voice trailed off, she gently raised her palm.

The once arrogant and proud Mu Longxian's face instantly turned fearful, his eyes resembling those of a dead dog.

"No..."

With the threat of death upon him, he seemed to finally understand the rule of equality.

He wanted to beg for mercy, but he couldn't utter a single word.

His body shattered at that moment.

All the modern technological defenses seemed to be of no use.

He was in pieces, lying directly on the ground.

The breath of life had left him.

All the high-ranking officials present trembled.

For the first time, they felt so powerless.

Ever since they became the ruling class, their mindset had changed.

It was as if everything in the world was a chess game, and they were the players.

Everything had to follow the rules they set.

The masses were merely pawns.

As for... the rage of a commoner? That was just a joke.

These rulers, who didn't have nanobot protection suits and even personal security, never had to worry about a commoner's rage splattering blood within five steps.

Aside from other players, the only thing they needed to fear and worry about was the issue of allegiance.

But now, they were terrified, realizing for the first time that there were things in this world beyond their control.

At this moment, Ning Tuo's gaze swept across the officials, her expression as bright as starlight: "You... and you... and you... all of you have murderous intent. If you want to die, then go ahead and die."

Ning Tuo was like the King of the Underworld, marking names in the book of life and death. Whoever she pointed to would perish.

In just a few breaths, seven high-ranking officials fell dead in the room.

The remaining officials stood motionless, holding their breath, not daring to utter a word.

Han Kang stood rooted to the spot, his mind reeling.

Among the seven deceased officials, three were from the Provincial Council.

One of them was his direct superior, someone he had to treat with utmost caution.

But now, he too fell like a dead dog.

How could Han Kang not be shocked and terrified?

Qi Yuan and the alluring young woman were truly terrifying.

"I suddenly feel like reciting a poem." At that moment, Qi Yuan was struck by poetic inspiration and spoke thoughtfully, "The inner treasury burns into embroidered ashes, the streets of heaven are paved with the bones of officials."

Although the officials present had never heard of this poem before, their faces all changed.

Being cultured individuals, they naturally understood the underlying meaning of the poem.

"A wonderful poem... A wonderful poem..."

The leader of the Provincial Council, trembling, stepped forward and praised with a quivering voice.

To be honest, even when facing the Seven Stars Clan, he had never been this obsequious.

Han Kang also quickly stepped forward and said, "This poem is excellent, capturing the scene and emotions perfectly. Mr. Qi, you are truly talented."

Seeing this, three or four more officials stood up to join in the praise.

It was as if by praising Qi Yuan's poem, they could escape his wrath.

Their excessive flattery made Qi Yuan feel rather embarrassed.

"I didn't write this poem."

Qi Yuan was honest and never wanted to take credit for someone else's work.

After all, Blue Star hadn't been destroyed yet, and if he was caught plagiarizing, it would be a huge embarrassment.

"The recitation of the poem, with its rhythmic cadence, is truly impressive and reminiscent of the wisdom of the sages!" Another official took the opportunity to flatter Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan was delighted to hear this.

"No wonder the ancient emperors loved to be flattered."

At that moment, Qi Yuan's gaze fell on the secretary standing next to Han Kang.

"Why don't you also flatter me with a few words so I can enjoy it?"

The secretary's face turned pale, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

"Don't be afraid. I'm a very positive person and never hold grudges.

Although last time you said that Wu Yun Pavilion belonged to your family, you were stating a fact that couldn't be changed. It's my fault for being poor and not having the ability to buy Arch Star.

Otherwise, I would have retorted then and there."

Hearing Qi Yuan's words, the secretary's face turned deathly pale, and he made a face even uglier than crying.

"Mr. Qi, I was wrong..." The secretary wished he could go back a few days and tear his own mouth apart. How could he have blurted out such words?

"Don't be afraid. You're not wrong. You spoke the truth. It's just that I'm not capable enough... Sigh, if I do this, wouldn't it make me seem petty and like a brute who resorts to violence when he can't win an argument?" Qi Yuan couldn't help but say.

He had always been a reasonable person.

When things could be resolved through reasoning, he would never resort to violence.

Convince through reasoning!

However, in the secretary's mind, was Qi Yuan some kind of murderous god who killed without hesitation?

Seeing this, the secretary collapsed to the ground, too terrified to speak.

"Sigh." Qi Yuan couldn't help but sigh again, "I still prefer the defiant and untamed you I met at first.

Unfortunately, in just a few days, society has smoothed out your edges. You've suffered."

The crowd in the hall wanted to laugh but dared not.

The secretary's expression was as if he had lost his mother.

"Farewell, everyone. Now that I've killed the young one, I must accompany my wife to kill the old one."

Qi Yuan hugged Ning Tao's slender waist.

Because Ning Tao was about to take him to the capital.

If he didn't hold her tight, the journey would be slow.

The leader of the Provincial Council quickly said, "Mr. Qi, please wait."

"Oh, what's the matter? Are you going to flatter him too?" Qi Yuan glanced at the secretary who was still lying on the ground.

The secretary immediately felt everyone's gaze upon him, and his heart turned cold.

At that moment, Qi Yuan continued, "I'm a reasonable person, so don't demote him just because he didn't flatter me.

In the book, 'The Six and Nine Secrets', there's a version without a single mistake!

Although I had a disagreement with him, I want to personally resolve this grudge. Don't interfere!"

Qi Yuan had already planned when he would gather enough money to buy Arch Star.

At that time, he would take out the 'Star Ownership Certificate' and slap it on the secretary's face, declaring, "See, Arch Star is mine, and Wu Yun Pavilion is yours. So what?"

Qi Yuan was still immersed in his future fantasies, and the more he thought about it, the happier he became.

This kind of fantasy was naturally delightful, akin to a nerd's dream of embracing a goddess.

The leader of the council said, "Mr. Qi, the royal family of Qin Yuan Kingdom has good intentions towards you. It's the bad people in the empire who are targeting you, and it's all the fault of the Mu Clan."

Qin Yuan Kingdom was ruled by the royal family, and the Seven Stars Clan, in a sense, held even greater power than the royalty.

The leader of the Provincial Council was referring to the incident with the secretary.

The secretary was still lying on the ground, his eyes vacant, and he hadn't recovered yet.

Han Kang quickly explained, "A few days ago, the Mu Clan wanted to take action against Mr. Qi. I don't know how my brother got wind of it, but he told me about it."

"Great!" The head of the Provincial Council patted his thigh, a delighted expression on his face. "Well done! Come, tell me about your brother and Mr. Qi's situation."

Seeing this, Han Kang knew this was his opportunity. Having already offended the Mu family, he might as well take a chance on this.

"My brother and Mr. Qi are both martial artists..." Han Kang informed the council head of everything he knew.

The council head's eyes lit up even more. "With this connection, it's all good... But..."

His thoughts turned to something else, and his expression became worried.

"The Celestial Eyes... The Celestial Eyes controlled by the Seven Star Warriors... They're too powerful.

No, I must immediately report to the King. We must stop the Mu family from using the Celestial Eyes!"

...

In the capital city of Qin Yuan Kingdom, the most prosperous place.

Within the Mu family compound.

The old patriarch sat in the main seat, his face dark and gloomy.

Beside him stood numerous middle-aged men, their expressions equally somber.

He looked at the Seventh Prince and Gong Yi Cai, his face showing dissatisfaction.

"How dare you, the royal family, covet him and try to win him over? He killed my grandson, and you want to let him off? How can our Mu family maintain our standing among the Seven Star Clans?

If you want to negotiate, it's simple. As long as he kneels, surrenders everything, and cuts off his own arms, this matter will be dropped.

Otherwise... The Celestial Eye will descend upon him."

The old patriarch, Mu, was filled with rage.

This time, if they didn't take action against Qi Yuan, how could the Mu family save face?

How would the other Seven Star Clans view them if they didn't retaliate? Would they be seen as weak?

The Seventh Prince spoke calmly, "Elder Mu, according to the treaty signed between the Seven Star Clans and the royal family, the use of weapons like the Celestial Eye requires approval from above and the consent of the royal family."

If Elder Mu is prepared to take action against Mr. Qi, please follow the treaty."

In the past, when the royal family hadn't completely declined and still held some authority, they signed a similar treaty with the Seven Star Clans.

But now, with the royal family's decline, many of the Seven Star Clans no longer paid heed to this treaty.

Or perhaps, some would follow the treaty, seek approval from above, and the royal family would usually just go through the motions, never refusing.

At this moment, the Seventh Prince brought up the treaty, signifying the royal family's determination to win over Qi Yuan.

It was also to make the Mu family fear the royal family, thus preventing the use of the Celestial Eye and ending this conflict.

"Hmph." Elder Mu scoffed, "Treaty? Royal family? We, the Seven Star Clans, consider you the royal family. If you don't, what's the difference between you and a stray dog on the street? Without your own Celestial Eye, do you even deserve to be the royal family?"

Elder Mu completely dropped all pretense.

Decades ago, a man married a princess of the royal family. He was young and promising, seen as the new hope for the royal family. The royals strongly supported him, hoping to restore their prestige.

But who would've thought that in the end, he would take away the royal family's control over their last three Celestial Eyes.

This sounds funny and unbelievable, but it's true.

Ever since they lost control over the Celestial Eyes, the royal family has truly declined.

Elder Mu, at this moment, showed no respect to the Seventh Prince. He was tearing down all facades.

What he said was the truth.

The royal family's name remained, but their power was limited to the province.

As for their military?

They didn't even control a single military zone.

Nor did they have the Celestial Eye.

This royal family... If they weren't a mascot, what were they?

Hearing Elder Mu's humiliating words, even with the Seventh Prince's refined temperament, a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes. He clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms. He lifted his head, a smile still on his face, and said, "Elder Mu, with the world changing, the Immortal Path reviving, and Mr. Qi being a leader on the Immortal Path, it's beneficial for all of us if he stays alive.

Moreover, the Celestial Eye isn't an unlimited resource. Once its energy is depleted, it will be difficult to replenish. So..."

"Hmph. The authority over the Celestial Eye is in my hands, and I'll use it as I please!"

Elder Mu laughed coldly, giving no face to the royal family or the Gong Yi family. "Oh, it seems the royal family's authority over the Celestial Eye can be taken away by deception. Haha."

Elder Mu continued to mean to have to be one-sided. "And you, Gong Yi Cai, if the Gong Yi family doesn't strive harder, within a century, you might lose even the last Celestial Eye, just like the royal family."

Elder Mu turned his attack towards Gong Yi Cai, his eyes revealing a disdainful look. "Weaklings... Only know how to cling together."

As one of the leading families among the Seven Star Clans, Elder Mu had the right to say this.

Even daughters from powerful families on Arch Star would choose to marry into the Mu family.

It could be said that among the ten most influential people on Arch Star, he was one of them.

"Mu's Celestial Eyes 01 to 13, follow my command. Full power operation, initiate war mode." Elder Mu gave the order.

His body was equipped with various advanced technologies.

The voice-controlled lock for the Celestial Eye was his own voice, specially modulated to prevent replication or impersonation.

The network was also independent of the common internet.

"Command One, activate the Celestial Eye, search for Qi Yuan's location!"

Elder Mu continued to issue commands.

Today, he would show the world the authority of the Mu family, a challenge no one could ignore.

However, at this moment, a mechanical voice interrupted.

"Command not recognized. Encountered unknown error."
