  Jun Wu Xie’s eyes chilled and she said softly: “People are dead are unable to do anything against me.”

  Mu Chen stared blankly at Jun Xie, not understanding what he meant.

  “I’m sorry, but I am not the Ke Cang Ju that you are referring to.” Hua Yao interjected suddenly and he rolled up his sleeves. Without the cover of the sleeves, Hua Yao’s unaltered skin on both his arms were glaringly exposed before Mu Chen’s eyes. The smooth and fair skin on the arms contrasted greatly with the rough and wrinkled skin on his hands. The stark difference alone told Mu Chen everything.

  “You are not Ke Cang Ju?” Mu Chen’s voice was incredulous. He had not seen Ke Cang Ju much, but he remembered that hideous face so clearly. The man who stood before him, regardless whether in terms of countenance or body shape, looked exactly as the real Ke Cang Ju had. Mu Chen believed not even Qin Yue would be able to tell the difference.

  “No.” Hua Yao nodded.

  “How is that possible? No technique exists in the world that could replicate a person’s looks so completely!” Mu Chen could not make himself believe what he was seeing. But the fact remained that the man who was standing before him was an exact replica of Ke Cang Ju, and no matter how meticulous one was with his imitation, such a complete replication was unheard of!

  “What if this happens?” Jun Wu Xie threw Hua Yao a glance and Hua Yao raised his hand right before Mu Chen’s eyes. He showed his finger joints clearly to Mu Chen before he made his fingers grow by another half in length. Mu Chen’s eyes widened, and he was left speechless after Hua Yao shrank his fingers back to normal.

  Mu Chen could not speak for a long while as he had never met anyone who could change the structure of his bones at will.

  “If you are not him, then where is the real Ke Cang Ju?” Mu Chen asked.

  Jun Wu Xie raised her eyes, and said in an expressionless tone: “Dead.”

  Volume 4

  Chapter 320: “Sheep turned Predator (4)”

  Mu Chen gasped deeply. When Jun Wu Xie had said “People who are dead are unable to do anything against me”, he had thought of this possibility, but now that Jun Wu Xie had confirmed it, the realization that that was the truth shocked him to the bone nevertheless.

  “Although Ke Cang Ju did not possess any spiritual powers, but he was highly proficient with his poisons. How did you manage to kill him?” Mu Chen was very curious. When he was younger, he had thought to kill Ke Cang Ju in revenge for his father’s cold blooded murder, but Ke Cang Ju’s arsenal of poisons had prevented him from carrying it out.

  The Jun Xie before his eyes was only a young sprouting youth! Although he had another two people with him, but judging from the voice and the unblemished skin shown by the person who impersonated Ke Cang Ju, he should only be around Qiao Chu’s age.

  The widely feared and terrifying Ke Cang Ju was killed by these three young youths? It was just unbelievable.

  Qiao Chu who was standing at the side smirked secretly. Ke Cang Ju was highly proficient with poison? That was before he met Jun Xie. Jun Xie’s dominance over Ke Cang Ju was total and complete, without having a single hair on himself harmed!

  He suddenly thought of how Ke Cang Ju had looked when he died and a chill still ran down his spine.

  Jun Xie was a sheep that instead preyed on predators and did not even spit out the bones after swallowing them whole!

  “How he was killed is no longer important. What’s important is that he is dead, and Hua Yao here has taken his place and position as the head of the Hidden Cloud Peak.” Jun Wu Xie said simply as she could not be bothered to explain in detail.

  Mu Chen did not probe further. After knowing Jun Wu Xie’s objective and affirming that she possessed abilities capable of getting rid of Ke Cang Ju, he had developed a certain level of trust for Jun Wu Xie.

  As just for the fact that Jun Wu Xie had killed Ke Cang Ju, Jun Wu Xie had become his benefactor, who had exact revenge for his father’s merciless murder on his behalf!

  “Your intention to wipe out the Qing Yun Clan might not happen so easily as Qin Yue is very careful of his own protection. All the resident experts invited reside within his the Blue Cloud Peak that he commands and even if a blue leveled spirit expert attacks him, it would only bring him death. Unless you have a purple leveled spirit user with you, you would not be able to even get close to him, much less to kill him.” Mu Chen’s brows were furrowed. If Qin Yue could be so easily killed, he would not have had to put up with so many years of suppression.

  “These all not of concern to us. The number of expert exponents present would not change anything in our plans.” Qiao Chu grumbled from the side. Even Ke Cang Ju who was so highly proficient in poison had crumbled before Jun Xie without him needing to raise a single blade. How difficult could it be to take on the all brawn and no brains experts?

  Mu Chen turned to Qiao Chu, staring at the dagger still pressed against the neck of his disciple, and his face darkened immediately.

  “Since our goals are in tandem, can you release my disciple now?” Mu Chen asked through gritted teeth.

  Qiao Chu did not move, but turned his head to Jun Xie. Only after Jun Xie had nodded, did Qiao Chu sheath his dagger and picked the unconscious disciple up carrying him upon his shoulder to go out the door. He then dropped the disciple unceremoniously upon the ground.

  Mu Chen’s mouth twitched, but he did not say anything.

  “You do not need to do anything to have Qin Yue killed, I will handle that. Even for the annihilation of the Qing Yun Clan, there is not much that you need to do. You will only need to fan the emotions of the other Elders into a frenzy, and that will be enough.”Jun Wu Xie said slowly. With Hua Yao’s perfect impersonation of Ke Cang Ju, he had saved them a lot of effort and she did not need to execute the plans she initially had with Mu Chen anymore.

  Getting Mu Chen involved would smoothen the progress of their ploy, and it was because Mu Chen’s Cloud Treading Peak was the only saving grace that had remained clean within the thoroughly rotted Qing Yun Clan. Jun Wu Xie’s plan might have been to wipe out the whole Qing Yun Clan, but she held her principles near. She would not harm the innocents.

  Volume 4

  Chapter 321: “Sheep turned Predator (5)”

  Not just the Cloud Treading Peak disciples, even the disciples of the Qing Yun Clan’s Outer House would be spared. Those disciples did not really belong to the Qing Yun Clan and there was no need to hurt the innocent.

  “Fan emotions?” Mu Chen was puzzled.

  Jun Wu Xie explained: “During this period, Ke Cang Ju had prominently flaunted the authority that Qin Yue had given him and offended all the other Elders of the Qing Yun Clan completely. Qin Yue had shielded Ke Cang Ju’s actions tightly and the other Elders are feeling very edgy. If the son of the last Sovereign stood forward at this moment, I believe the other Elders would jump at the chance to rally behind you to drive the Qing Yun Clan in chaos. By that time, Qin Yue’s time in the Qin Yun Clan would be up.”

  “How are you going to do it?” Mu Chen grew more and more shocked the more he heard. He realised that the turmoil that had been brewing within the Qing Yun Clan had been stirred up by these three youths singlehandedly. And if he was not wrong, the one making the decisions among the trio, should be Jun Xie, the youngest one among them!

  He was able to pull off a plot on such a big scale at such a young age. Mu Chen could not imagine what kind of environment Jun Xie had grown up in.

  And he wondered how mighty the Jun Family was that they dared take on the topmost clan across the lands, the Qing Yun Clan!

  “You wouldn’t understand even if I told you.” Jun Wu Xie waved her hand tiredly. She really wasn’t too good at explaining things in detail.

  Seeing that Jun Xie was refusing to say more, Mu Chen stopped himself from probing anymore.

  “After the Qing Yun Clan is obliterated, it would cease to exist. If you do not have any pressing business or anywhere else to go, you can go to the Lin Palce i
n the Kingdom of Qi.” Jun Wu Xie gave it a thought, and decided to provide Mu Chen with a good alternative after everything. She believed that Mu Chen would have no intention to stay on in the Qing Yun Clan, that had turned rotten to the core under Qin Yue’s hands.

  Mu Chen might still be young, but he possessed respectable skills and knowledge in the nurturing and development of veins and arteries. And no matter how highly skilled Jun Wu Xie was in Medicine, she could not split herself. To sufficiently sustain the medical needs of the hundred thousand strong Rui Lin Army, needed more than the strength of a lone Jun Wu Xie.

  If she could enlist the help of Mu Chen and his disciples, the Rui Lin Army will rise up faster!

  Jun Wu Xie did not only plan to just make herself stronger, but to strengthen every single person in the Rui Lin Army as well. Only when the Jun Family held more chips within their hands, can she ensure her grandfather and uncle to live a life of leisure without any worries.

  Mu Chen stared at Jun Wu Xie and he remained silent for a moment. “If you help me to kill Qin Yue, I will bring my people to the Lin Palace and reside there for three years. Within those three years, I will exhaust all that I hold in repayment for what I will owe you.”

  Jun Xie had killed Ke Cang Ju, and if he were to kill Qin Yue as well, Mu Chen vengeance would be exacted. He did not want to owe Jun Xie that debt of gratitude and had decided he would repay him with his skills in medicine.

  “That is a deal.” Jun Wu Xie nodded, in satisfaction, not minding the fact that Mu Chen saw through her underlying intentions.

  Intelligent people knew what they should do without having to prod them.

  The discussion on their secret cooperation was finished, but Mu Chen was hesitant to leave just like that. He turned to Jun Wu Xie and said: “The news that I came storming into the Hidden Cloud Peak must have spread to the ears of the other Elders. I cannot walk out of here just like that.”

  Jun Wu Xie produced an elixir within her hands and threw it to Mu Chen.

  “Swallow it.”

  Mu Chen swallowed the elixir without hesitation and stepped out to bring his unconscious disciple back.

  “What did you give him?” Qiao Chu stared after Mu Chen as he left, his curiosity highly piqued as he bugged Jun Wu Xie.

  “Mu Chen and Ke Cang Ju were opposing enemies for a long time. Ke Cang Ju would not allow Mu Chen to bring his disciple back so easily. Hence….. he would have to pay a certain price.” Jun Wu Xie lowered her eyes. They needed to put on an act, and a complete act is required. Mu Chen would be a good ally, and he was smarter than Mo Qian Yuan.

  Volume 4

  Chapter 322: “Reeling In The Net (1)”

  Soon, a piece of news spreaded within the Qing Yun Clan. Ke Cang Ju had gone to the Cloud Treading Peak and forcibly snatched a disciple. The Elder of the Cloud Treading Peak, Mu Chen, had then stormed into the Hidden Cloud Peak alone to save his disciple. Mu Chen had suddenly fell ill after he returned and his high fever had not subsided. Even Qin Yue had provided treatment but Mu Chen was still bedridden after three days, and was still in bad shape.

  Falling into such a state after returning from the Hidden Cloud Peak. It was deemed to be obvious by the other Elders that Ke Cang Ju’s proficient use of poison must have been the cause. Mu Chen and Ke Cang Ju had been bitter enemies for a long time and for Ke Cang Ju to allow Mu Chen to retrieve his disciple back to the Cloud Treading Peak, Mu Chen must have suffered under Ke Cang Ju’s deliberate spitefulness and had poisoned Mu Chen, bringing about the sudden illness!

  The other Elders had still been puzzled by how Mu Chen had managed to bring his disciple back before and the reason could not be any clearer now!

  And the news brought the other Elders’ fear and hatred for Ke Cang Ju to new heights!

  No matter how much hatred Ke Cang Ju held for Mu Chen, Mu Chen was still an Elder of the Qing Yun Clan after all, a respectable position they both held. But Ke Cang Ju had just gone ahead and poisoned Mu Chen without hesitation, showing scant regard for the revered status of being an Elder of the Qing Yun Clan!

  Even the Elders that had held no enmity towards Ke Cang Ju soon started to feel threatened by his tyranny.

  Mu Chen had been poisoned by Ke Cang Ju openly, and the other Elders started to feel threatened of their own safety. Ke Cang Ju had already dared to take their disciples from them, what more atrocities would he do?

  The Elders thought back on the chaos and fear that had spread before, the depressed and disappointed eyes their own disciples had shown them and their hatred for Ke Cang Ju started to brew and bubble.

  An Elder had gone to the Cloud Treading Peak, bearing tonics as a gift, his face sorrowful in concern, on the pretense of paying a visit on the ill Mu Chen, but was actually there to find out what kind of torment Ke Cang Ju had put Mu Chen under.

  Mu Chen had put on a pitiful face of helplessness and said weakly: “Ke Cang Ju holds the Sovereign’s trust strongly, while I am only an Elder in name with no authority. When he decides he wants to snatch my disciple from me, or anything else that he wants to do against me, there is nothing I can do but to tolerate and suffer under his oppression. The Sovereign himself stands behind Ke Cang Ju, what else can I do? Await death to claim me I suppose.”

  Mu Chen’s defeated words made the other Elder’s heart wince, and told of the hopelessness of the situation.

  At the same time, that brought up another question. The Elder suffering under the oppression this time was Mu Chen. But if Ke Cang Ju were to turn his eyes in their direction, they would obviously share the same fate.

  By that time, must they be forced to swallow the oppression and be as helpless, falling prey to Ke Cang Ju’s tyranny without a word of protest?

  NO!

  That cannot happen!

  Alarm spread among the other Elders and the bells rang loudly. The Elders who had managed to calm the disciples regarding the previous incident started to feel the dangers looming.

  Mu Chen’s sorry plight relit the flame that threw chaos once again into the recently appeased few days of calm. The situation this time was more intense and spread greater fear into the people.

  Qin Yue started to feel the heat and grew jittery. He sent people to the Hidden Cloud Peak to bring a message to “Ke Cang Ju”, telling him to stop and desist with the atrocities, and not to stir up any more turmoil.

  The person who impersonated Ke Cang Ju disregarded the warning, tossing it into the wind.

  Within two days from then, high upon the gates leading into the various peaks, a pair of rotted corpses were hung. Those bodies, were the bodies of the very same disciples taken away from the respective peaks by “Ke Cang Ju” and brought back to the Hidden Cloud Peak.

  In hours, the bubbling pot of chaos within the Qing Yun Clan blew up!

  When the Elders saw the ravaged and gory bodies, their faces turned white!

  “Ke Cang Ju, you bastard! I….. will not take this lying down!” The curses chorused throughout the various peaks at the same time!

  Volume 4

  Chapter 323: “Reeling In The Net (2)”

  Within the Hidden Cloud Peak, Qiao Chu sat comfortably on the chair, his legs propped up nonchalantly. He looked at Jun Xie, who was stroking the little black cat’s fur, his eyes sparkling in amusement. “Little Xie, that was just too wicked. You would actually return those bodies back to their peaks. Once their Elders see them, they will surely be hopping mad!”

  Their disciples were forcibly taken from them, and in a just a few days, those disciples taken from them turned up dead and were thrown at the foot of their respective peaks. What made matters really intolerable was, the bodies each carried a letter from “Ke Cang Ju”.

  In the letter, only a few simple words were written. ‘Your disciples have been rightfully returned. I’ll be back for more!’

  Those few words were downright arrogant and its message utterly despicable. The other Elders could not possibly remain calm after that, as even Qiao Chu had almost
wanted to bash Jun Xie up when he read the letter’s contents!

  That was just too much for anyone to take! The bodies of their disciples were already ravaged to such a pathetic state and Jun Xie had the cheek to claim they were “rightfully returned”, and he’ll be back!!? ….. Those words might just kill the Elders where they stood when they read the letter!

  “Those people deserve everything we did to them.” Jun Wu Xie said softly. Besides the Cloud Treading Peak, the whole of the Inner House of the Qing Yun Clan’s disciples had been led to commit many atrocities under the rotted leadership from the top. The vanished villages, the missing villagers, were due to the actions of all those disciples. It was sickening to know from the boasts and revelations from the disciples of the Hidden Cloud Peak that all the females in the villages had suffered unspeakable horrors under the hands of the disciples as well while they carried out their mission, such was the cruelty of the disciples of the Qing Yun Clan.

  Not many things could stir up joy or hatred in Jun Wu Xie in her past life, but one thing that she absolutely abhorred and despised, was the humiliation of the womenfolk.

  Even when she was with the organisation, if any of their members were known to have committed such travesty, she would refuse to treat and save them even if the orders had come from the very top. She would just watch coldly as those people suffer in agony as they fell victim to the inescapable death that would come without her treatment.

  The knowledge of it, only steeled Jun Wu Xie’s resolve further.

  If the Heavens could not deliver the punishment due, she would gladly lend a hand!

  “Heh heh, I am guessing, the time is nearing, that those Elders will go charging to the Sovereign and kick up a big fuss. And at that time, it will be time for us to reel in our nets.” Qiao Chu said, rubbing his hands in glee. It was both thrilling and exciting to be carrying out Jun Xie’s ploys. It was hard to imagine that the petite youth before them, who rarely spoke much, would be so meticulous and efficient when carrying out missions like this.
