Chapter 499: The Deceased's Emotions Stabilize
Chapter 499: The Deceased's Emotions Stabilize
"This should be the place. I'll find a good hiding spot and wait for the protagonist."
A month had already passed, and according to Qin Muye's estimation, the time for the Tongtian Pavilion to descend should be within the next few days. Therefore, he definitely needed to find a good position.
Anyway, staying idle in Qingsong Village was just that—idle. The environment in Qingsong Village had also deteriorated recently due to the demonic calamity, making it increasingly chaotic. People were leaving their homes, and those who stayed were causing mischief.
Qin Muye simply pretended not to see it. After all, it wasn't a big deal, and he was just living his life for money.
Fortunately, this group of people also had some sense of reason and did not provoke Qin Muye. After realizing that Qin Muye was ignoring them, they naturally went about their own business.
The initial chaos was just beginning, and the court was preoccupied with itself.
However, they did not forget to escape. What some people could think of, the court naturally could also think of.
There were already quite a few people waiting near the Tongtian Pavilion. Qin Muye could tell at a glance that although these people were disguised, their airs of being pampered and high and mighty still showed through, indicating that these were not simple figures.
Moreover, they were accompanied by spirit summoners, even an eighth Rank spirit summoner. Apart from the court, which could retain such a level of living forces, no sect or family had this capability.
In addition to the court, there were also some young masters of noble families, with decent strength, accompanied by bodyguards. These young masters of noble families were currently clustering together.
The number of people might seem large, considering the number of spirit summoners who knew about this matter in the world was not insignificant. However, in a world of more people, it was relatively small.
Most of those who could come here were likely once from the pinnacle of the Pyramid. A small part might have obtained information about the Tongtian Pavilion by chance.
He simply scanned a glance, and indeed, only a small portion of people had the Tongtian Order, naturally to enter the Tongtian Pavilion to seek refuge. Otherwise, why come here?
Most people did not have it, coming here also to seek refuge, but to obtain the Tongtian Order, they would have to kill people.
The difficulty was not small, after all, those with the Tongtian Order were either rich or Noble. Even if not from the court or noble family, those who could cross provinces to come here were all formidable individuals.
"Pity" is not the main character." Qin Muye observed through the monster's reconnaissance technique, each one had good attributes and talents, except for the lack of the protagonist's aura.
After all, they were also heavenly geniuses, naturally possessing unique attributes of their own.
"Little brother, are you also here waiting for the Tongtian Pavilion?" A middle-aged man walked over slowly, saying it with a mix of intention and nonchalance.
"Ah, no, I'm here waiting for someone, waiting for a person with a connection." Qin Muye was indeed not here for the Tongtian Pavilion; he had already entered it.
Actually, he had entered the Spirit Land.
This thing was called the Tongtian Pavilion, but in reality, it was just a place for transmission and cultivation, with nothing particularly valuable. After copying a portion, he didn't think much more about it.
He even thought of using the Tongtian Pavilion to lure the main character.
"Waiting for someone? Don't know who it is? Maybe I know them." The middle-aged man spoke with a friendly tone.
"This person is quite special. I don't even know who he is." Qin Muye said with a hint of melancholy.
He wasn't lying, because he truly didn't know the new protagonist.
However, this statement darkened the middle-aged man's face, as he thought Qin Muye was playing with him.
"Since little brother is unwilling to say, then I won't force it. I see little brother is alone, and with no rank in strength, you probably don't have the Tongtian Order, right?" The middle-aged man's words fell on the Tongtian Order intentionally.
"Indeed not, but perhaps the person I'm waiting for has it." Qin Muye said with jest teasing, directly getting to the point.
The other party did not have the Tongtian Order, so he was intentionally probing.
Qin Muye's displayed strength was relatively low, so the other party was definitely picking on the soft spot, otherwise, a real confrontation with the court or the world would likely end up hurting himself.
However, the other party did not dare to act openly, as the order still existed, although it was somewhat precarious.
Hearing Qin Muye's words, a cold glint flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes: "It had better not be, otherwise, little brother, you won't be able to rest easy tonight."
Broad daylight was not a good time for open action, but at night, things were uncertain. Recently, quite a few people had died.
The imperial forces had intended to maintain order, but with life on the line, order naturally became unimportant. So, most people pretended to submit on the surface, but continued their activities in secret.
After all, could the other party really kill them all? Quite a few people had already died, but no one had managed to take action.
Qin Muye, however, was not concerned with the other party's threats. What caught his attention was the cold gleam in the other party's eyes.
"Having the nerve to flash your eyes in front of me, you’re asking for it. Tiezhu, kill him."
When faced with someone weaker and not crucial to the big picture, Qin Muye could still chat amicably. At worst, he would cut them down if they pushed too far. However, the cold gleam in the other party's eyes crossed his line. He himself would never do such a thing.
If he wouldn't, how could the other party dare to show off and threaten him? This definitely needed to be a lesson in not being the first to provoke.
"What?"
The middle-aged man hadn't even reacted before being slammed by Tiezhu, exploding into a spray of blood, flesh, and bones scattered everywhere. Even his spirit hadn't had time to react before dissipating.
No one present, including the Eighth Rank Spirit Summoner and his spirit, could react to this scene.
The atmosphere became heavy, but soon someone recovered.
"He killed someone, we must—"
Bang!
Another person was smashed into pieces, silencing the indignant crowd as if their throats had been clamped.
"Ah, this... Could it be that you think I'm a low-rank Spirit Summoner? Surely not, surely not." Qin Muye said sarcastically.
Tiezhu's consecutive charges had intimidated everyone.
The Eighth Rank Spirit Summoner and his spirit exchanged a glance, seemingly communicating whether to eliminate this variable.
After some thought, they decided it was better to keep him around, using him as a tool, but first, they needed to put him in his place.
"The state has its—"
Bang!
Another blood spray, this time from the Eighth Rank Spirit Summoner. He hadn't even finished his sentence before meeting the same fate.
This time, it was truly silent.
Who would have thought that an Eighth Rank Spirit Summoner could be smashed to death, and in the same brutal manner as the lower-rank Spirit Summoners? This proved that Qin Muye was the true powerhouse.
"What was he about to say?" Qin Muye asked casually.
Tiezhu had already returned to Qin Muye's side, seemingly ready to charge again if anyone opened their mouth.
"Nothing, nothing, he might have had a stomach ache and needed to use the toilet," a weak voice broke the awkward silence.
"Damn, he had an urgent need, and you killed him. Now we're in trouble; we can't even fight back," Qin Muye turned to scold Tiezhu.
Tiezhu continued to scan the crowd with a blank expression, as if considering another charge.
"See, I've already disciplined Tiezhu. The deceased's emotions are stable, so he must have forgiven Tiezhu. So, this matter should be over, right?" Qin Muye said with a smile.
Everyone agreed, thinking that if they didn't, they might be the next to be smashed to pieces.
As for the deceased's emotions being stable, how could they not be, since he was dead?
"Alright, stop standing around. Get back to what you were doing. You're all being unproductive," Qin Muye shook his head and took out a clump of mud, kneading it in his hands.
This was the Ling Disaster Mud, the great calamity of this world.
He hadn't fully studied it yet, so he used this opportunity to continue his research.
Seeing this, everyone felt a chill. They all thought this powerful Spirit Summoner might be a bit off in the head. Who in their right mind would play with black mud? Even playing with clay would be more acceptable, but black mud was unbearable.
More importantly, they could smell an unbearable stench from the mud.
However, they couldn't afford to offend him, so they just had to avoid him, finding a sheltered spot to settle down again.
"Tsk, you're scared of just a little bit. If more of it overflows, there won't be anywhere to hide." Qin Muye remarked that humans couldn't escape this calamity. They thought the Tongtian Pavilion was a refuge? If they really hid inside, it would send them straight to the heart of the great calamity.
