Chapter 777: The Mu Clan Strikes Back, Launching a Surprise Attack

Things unfolded exactly as Qin Muye had anticipated. The day before, Fan Hua had seen through the Lu King's actions against the Mu Clan and had taken countermeasures.

This led to the Lu King losing the gamble and suffering a full-scale counterattack from the Mu Clan.

Previously, the Mu Clan had indeed been wary of the Phoenix in the Flames, but that was because the Lu King hadn't used his full strength.

Now, with the full strength unleashed, there was no longer any room for hesitation. When someone is trying to take your life, worrying about who might be backing them is pointless. You're likely to die faster if you hesitate.

In terms of local power, the Mu Clan was still a formidable force, and under a full-scale counterattack, the Lu King naturally suffered a series of defeats.

He also reached out to the Yuan Clan, hoping they would join the fray to help contain the Mu Clan.

However, this time, the Yuan Clan remained silent, like a stone sinking into the sea, with no response at all.

While the Yuan Clan wanted to take action against the Mu Clan, they also understood the principle of "when the lips are gone, the teeth feel the cold." The Yuan Clan and the Mu Clan were neighbors, and if the Lu King were to eliminate the Mu Clan and consolidate power, what would stop the Yi King, who was allied with the Yuan Clan, from turning against them next?

When it came to restraining the power of the feudal lords, the Yuan Clan and the Mu Clan were on the same side. Even in this failure and counterattack against the Lu King, the Yuan Clan had provided considerable assistance.

As a result, the Lu King lost, but not disastrously.

He had never had much power to begin with, and his base was primarily within the Great Spirit Dynasty's bureaucratic system, so there was no significant capital outflow. The loss of shops and estates, to be honest, had no real impact on the Lu King.

Everything he had was provided by the Great Spirit Dynasty, and even if he only had a single princely residence, he would still have no worries about food, drink, or resources.

In truth, the real losers were the Mu Clan, who had first faced internal strife and then external threats. While the Mu Clan wasn't completely crippled, they were certainly weakened.

Fortunately, this time Fan Hua stepped up and turned the tide, otherwise, it would have been a major disaster.

The Lu King's assistance this time directly elevated Fan Hua's awkward position within the Mu Clan. All the previous doubts and ridicule vanished.

Previously, he was seen as a man who lived off his wife's wealth, but now he was recognized for his true abilities. Even his supposedly underhanded methods were overlooked.

Without Fan Hua, everyone in the Mu Clan would have died. A bit of underhandedness was acceptable if it could save the Mu Clan and everyone in it.

In the face of life and death, the Mu Clan members naturally had no further complaints.

"This is the end, I suppose," Qin Muye said, looking at the intelligence in his hand, feeling somewhat excited.

Next, it was his turn to make a move.

"Disabling him to the point of being half-paralyzed isn't too much of a problem, but I need to prevent him from healing himself."

With the Great Spirit Dynasty's medical capabilities, healing a half-paralyzed Lu King wouldn't be a significant challenge. Qin Muye had previously advised Fan Hua to cut off the root, as even castration could be reversed, let alone a mere half-paralysis.

Therefore, the move had to be ruthless.

"I need to strike at his soul."

Qin Muye quickly decided on his plan of action. Attacking the physical body was necessary, but the focus should be on the soul. If his soul was damaged, it would be much harder to repair.

"However, just damaging the body and soul isn't enough. I need to add curses, toxins, and other negative states, and they should be interconnected."

"Finding the right sequence to unlock and using different methods to remove them is essential. If someone tries to remove them forcefully, it will create a new encryption method and cause them immense pain and suffering."

Looking at the Lu King, who was reading a book in his study, Qin Muye quickly formed a new plan in his mind.

For ordinary people, half-paralysis would be fatal, but for the Lu King, it wasn't a significant issue. Healing it would be no more difficult than treating a cold.

"Tsk, even at this moment, he can still focus on reading. I have to admit, his mindset is really good. In terms of education, he is certainly not one of those arrogant and incompetent nobles who lose their temper at the slightest setback."

From this perspective, the Lu King truly could afford to lose, and his demeanor suggested that he was simply biding his time, waiting for the next opportunity to make a comeback.

"He's also following the Spirit Refinement Path, it seems this path has indeed become the mainstream." After observing for a while, Qin Muye noticed that the Lu King had no spirit beasts, so he must be following the Spirit Refinement Path.

As for not being a Spirit Tamer, that was even more impossible. How else could he reach the 7th rank?

"Only one chance, I have to hit it right." Qin Muye took out a brick from his pocket, which he had picked up on his way to the Lu King's residence.

This thing looked like an ordinary brick, felt like an ordinary brick, and was used almost the same way, but in Qin Muye's hands, it was far from ordinary. As long as he controlled the force and hit accurately, even an 8th-rank target would end up with a broken head and bleeding, let alone a 7th-rank target.

"Damn, can you stand up for a moment?" Qin Muye was somewhat helpless.

He was prepared to hit the other person's spine, but the backrest of the chair was blocking his way, making it difficult for him to strike.

He had considered aiming for the neck, but he was worried that he might hit too hard and kill the person. Hitting the neck was indeed better than hitting the spine; a precise hit would result in quadriplegia rather than just paralysis.

Qin Muye did prefer quadriplegia, but to be safe, he chose paralysis.

However, the Lu King was sitting so straight that it made it difficult for him to strike.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, the Lu King was still engrossed in his book, showing no intention of moving.

"Whatever, let's go for quadriplegia then." Qin Muye couldn't wait any longer and walked over with the brick.

He quickly estimated the force needed and then struck the back of the Lu King's neck.

A crisp cracking sound was heard, and various strange injuries began to connect, ultimately forming the absolute quadriplegia technique that Qin Muye had created!

"It worked, time to run."

Seeing the unconscious Lu King, Qin Muye decisively scattered the brick, which had turned to powder, and turned to leave.

The Lu King passed out quickly, but the commotion was not small. The guards outside the door soon noticed and asked, but when they received no response, they rushed in to investigate.

The first thing they saw was the Lu King's rapidly swelling neck, clearly indicating an attack.

"There's an assassin!!!"

In such a situation, they naturally shouted for help. They couldn't hide it, after all.

Anyone who could quietly knock out the Lu King was definitely not someone they, mere guards, could handle. Even though the attacker had fled, they still had to raise the alarm.

Qin Muye, who was running away, was unaware of the guards' actions. He was somewhat worried.

'This position wasn't accurate, but it shouldn't be a big problem, right? I hope it doesn't damage his brain. If he becomes a vegetable, my revenge won't be as effective.'

He wasn't worried about the power being insufficient, but rather about it being too powerful.

His initial target was the spine, aiming for paralysis rather than quadriplegia.

'It shouldn't go wrong, but should I go back and check? Is it bad to just leave like this?'

Under the guilt of his conscience and sense of responsibility, Qin Muye finally sighed, 'This damned sense of responsibility!'

When he returned, the Lu King had already been moved to his bedroom, his body limp and lifeless like a noodle.

Fortunately, after some treatment, he regained consciousness, but the quadriplegia was irreversible.

The Spirit Taming world had not developed sufficient medical knowledge because with the magical spirit beasts, a single healing spell could restore health, so there was no need to develop such labor-intensive medicine.

However, now, the healing spells of the spirit beasts could not cure the Lu King's injuries and might even cause more severe pain. The healers in the Lu King's residence were at a loss.

"Send a report to the palace, we can only ask the imperial physicians to come and treat him." The healer in the Lu King's residence said helplessly, as he had no solution.

This statement caused even more chaos in the Lu King's residence.

"It seems the Lu King is quite resilient. It's good that nothing serious happened; the expected effect has been achieved." Qin Muye nodded and left the Lu King's residence with a sense of relief.

Next, he needed to figure out how to bring Fan Hua in. After all, this was only the first half of his plan; there was still the second half to consider.

Saying he would strike at the heart, he couldn't stop halfway. Besides, he had nothing better to do, so he might as well enjoy the show.
