390 Winner And Miss

Due to him being amped up, he had used a bit too much of his strength and hurled her too far. By the time Qing Yuan Tiu gained back her control, she found herself five meters in the air and about ten meters away from the ring.

A wry smile appeared on her face as she accepted her defeat. But she didn't fall, no. She reacted rather quickly and a spirit sword appeared in front of her, catching her in the air. She then lightly floated down to the ground and took a breath of relief.

Only now did she realize how hard her heart was beating and how anxious she was during the entire fight. Not to mention that she had just been defeated by a person who was an entire cultivation realm below her.

"He… he… won…" One of the audience members muttered.

"HAHAHA! THAT'S A TRUE MAN! BROTHER MU LIN IS AMAZING!" The boisterous voice of Wu Teng was heard as he stood up and started clapping.

~clap~

The people snapped out of their shock and came to terms with the fact that Lin Mu had just defeated someone above his realm.

"MU LIN IS THE WINNER OF THE TOURNAMENT!" The referee declared.

"WOOHOO!" The people cheered in excitement.

Their hopes for a good fight had finally happened, and they got more than they were expecting. This result was something that had completely blown them away.

~Sigh~

A sigh escaped Wu Hei's lips as he dreaded what was about to come. While the fight had ended and Lin Mu had won, the trouble had just started. The junior elder Fa Shiu was here, and there was no chance that he had not informed peak master Yi Deng of what must have happened back then.

All it would take is for him to point at Lin Mu, and peak master would not even have to lift a finger before Lin Mu would be restrained. For a nascent soul realm cultivator killing a qi refining, realm cultivator was as easy as squashing an ant.

Wu Hei turned his head towards Peak master Yi Deng and saw him staring at the ring.

"Huh? Where's the junior elder?" Wu Hei muttered to himself.

He looked around, but there was no sign of Fa Shiu anywhere. He then looked at the other disciples of the Tri cauldron peony sect and saw that even they were unaware of this fact and were looking at the ring with excitement on their faces.

A big question mark was on Wu Hei's face as he couldn't comprehend what exactly could have happened. Perhaps he had mistaken the existence of Fa Shiu and he was never here? Or that he had gone away during that incident in the ring.

"Lord Mu Lin is impressive, I didn't think someone from a small kingdom like the Fenlong kingdom would have such skills." Quan Hong spoke.

"Indeed, perhaps we should look into him a more and see if he wants to join our sect. He will be a great addition to us, I'm sure," Fa Lao said. "What do you think elder brother?" He asked as he turned around to see his elder brother, who had finally appeared after being missing for weeks.

While he had been a bit anxious, he wasn't exactly worried as he didn't think there were many things that could threaten his brother. And if he had disappeared, then something must have happened that required him to be hidden like that.

"Elder brother? Huh? Where's elder brother?" Fa Lao questioned seeing his elder brother missing.

Peak master Yi Deng who was looking at Lin Mu with interest was finally brought out of his thoughts by Fa Lao's words.

"What do you mean, he's right he…" Yi Teng trailed off.

He looked around and saw his former chief disciple missing. Yi Deng's eyes went wide as he became alert. A Strong wave of aura radiated off Yi Deng's body as his spirit sense spread around. Each and every person in the area shuddered as they felt the spirit sense scan and pass over them.

Even Lin Mu felt it and trembled.

"This… a nascent soul realm cultivator is much more stronger than I thought." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

While he had felt the spirit sense of Old Man Jing before who was in the Dao Treading realm, the spirit sense of Yi Deng was more bold. Jing Wei's spirit sense was conserved and precise, while Yi Deng's was like a large net that spread.

"FA SHIU!" peak master Yi Deng shouted in anger.

It had taken him such a long time to find his former chief disciple and when he learned what had happened, he was even more enraged. But there was still the problem that the murderer who had killed his disciples had an unknown identity.

Fa Shiu had just turned up at the stronghold and had told him all that had happened. How people had been following and tracking him. This all felt like a huge conspiracy to Yi Deng, and he knew there were hidden powers at play here.

"WHERE IS FA SHIU!?" Yi Deng shouted again.

The people were now all staring at Yi Deng, who was shouting like a mad dog. The other disciples of the Tri cauldron peony sect were also anxious now and knew that something bad had happened.

Wu Hei narrowed his brows and knew that he needed to control the situation before it got out of hand.

"Peak master, please calm down and tell me what exactly happened?" Wu Hei questioned in a calm tone.

"What do you mean, what happened? One of my disciples just disappeared!" Yi Deng answered.

"Don't worry, we'll find him, he'll be fine. After all, junior elder Fa Shiu is no child and should be able to take care of himself." Wu Hei assured.

But this seemed to have only fanned the flames of anger in Yi Deng's eyes as he hooted again.

"No one will leave this place till I allow them to!"
