85: Wei Shen takes action

"General Qing Wu, please avenge the Young Lord!" General Yang said with a grim face.

"First, kill this brat, and then wipe out the Divine Sword Sect!"

General Yang clasped his hands, appearing extremely respectful.

Although General Yang was also a military commander, compared to Qing Wu...

General Yang was practically nothing.

After all, Qing Wu was the leader of the Twelve Cloud Riders, and he was also a General of the Immortal Country.

"I will! I will definitely take revenge!" Qing Wu's face was grim.

"Mu Haotian Young Lord, rest assured, I won't let you die in vain!"

Qing Wu wore a grim expression, and a cold glint burst forth in his eyes.

Dang! A crisp sound rang out.

Qing Wu drew his Sword, which hummed loudly.

As soon as the Sword was drawn, it streaked across the sky.

A cold light flashed, and the Aura that erupted was terrifying.

"General Qing Wu, please avenge the Young Lord!" General Yang feigned a look of loyalty.

At this moment, General Yang knelt on one knee, slightly bowing his head in a grand salute.

If one didn't know the truth,

General Yang would seem like a loyal soldier.

However, General Yang was a wolf in sheep's clothing!

"Li Changfeng, you killed the Young Lord, now pay with your life!" Qing Wu roared.

Immediately, Qing Wu lightly tapped his toe, and his entire body shot into the air.

With a leap through the air, Qing Wu arrived in front of Li Changfeng.

At this moment, Qing Wu held his Sword, the tip pointed directly at Li Changfeng.

"You've come to kill me too?" Li Changfeng asked curiously.

"Good that you know!" Qing Wu didn't waste words; he raised his hand and swung his Sword.

Buzz, buzz.

The Sword swept out, heading straight for Li Changfeng.

And right at this moment,

Li Changfeng faced the strike, yet he remained rooted to the spot, apparently having no intention of moving.

"Why aren't you moving?" Qing Wu asked, bewildered.

"I don't need to make a move," Li Changfeng said coldly.

Zheng!

A crisp sound echoed.

The Sword in Qing Wu's hand was flicked away by a single finger.

And the person behind that finger was none other than Wei Shen Senior.

"General Qing Wu, I suggest you figure things out first. We certainly didn't kill your Young Lord," Wei Shen Senior explained.

However, these words...

Qing Wu didn't believe them at all. A trace of Evil Qi burst forth in his eyes.

"You didn't do it?"

"Then how did the Young Lord die?"

"He was stabbed in the chest with a dagger!"

"It must have been you who killed him!"

Qing Wu twisted his wrist and swung his Sword once more.

And this time,

after the Sword traced a circle in the air,

it rushed straight toward Li Changfeng.

Qing Wu's target was Li Changfeng; he wanted to kill Li Changfeng to avenge the Young Lord.

"General Qing Wu, do we look like people who use daggers?" Wei Shen Senior lightly waved his Horsetail Whisk.

The Horsetail Whisk released a stream of Immortal Power.

It pushed Qing Wu back once again.

"I am a Sorcerer; I naturally do not use Sharp Weapons!"

"And Young Master Li is a Swordsman!"

"As a Swordsman, using a dagger is beneath him!"

Wei Shen Senior stood in front of Li Changfeng and smiled slightly.

In truth, Wei Shen Senior held no hostility toward Qing Wu; he didn't want to fight.

Everything Qing Wu did was out of loyalty to his master!

"Perhaps Mu Haotian's death was caused by someone else?" Wei Shen Senior glanced toward General Yang, who was standing nearby.

"Are you suggesting...?" Qing Wu turned his head and looked at General Yang.

"Impossible!"

"The Young Lord must have been killed by you!"

"Even if you didn't do it yourselves, you must be related to it somehow!"

Qing Wu roared and stepped forward, raising his Sword.

At this moment,

in Qing Wu's eyes, there was only revenge.

And the only thing Qing Wu wanted to do was take revenge!

Qing Wu absolutely had to return and give an explanation for Mu Haotian's death.

The only way to save Qing Wu's life was to bring back the head of the enemy and report back!

"Idiot," Li Changfeng snorted coldly.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!" Wei Shen Senior said coldly. "You want to kill the enemy and report back!"

"But if you do this, will the Mu Family's Sect Master truly believe you?"

"The one who died is Mu Haotian, the son of the Mu Family's Sect Master!"

Wei Shen Senior sighed, feeling utterly helpless.

When one's own son dies, killing a single enemy won't resolve the matter.

Given the temperament of Mu Clan Master, failing to exterminate nine generations of a clan would be considered lenient.

Qing Wu sucked in a cold breath, his brows furrowed, and his expression extremely ugly.

"What nonsense are you speaking?" Qing Wu tightly clenched his fists.

"I am simply avenging the Young Lord!"

"Who do you think I am?"

"Senior Wei, today's matter concerns the Mu Family and this brat. Please don't interfere!"

Qing Wu looked grim, clenching his fists tightly.

With Wei Shen Senior blocking the way, Qing Wu found himself in a difficult position.

If he fought Wei Shen Senior, he would be opposing the Wei Family.

But Mulan Manor was currently not prepared to clash with the Wei Family.

"Heh heh, I've decided I *will* interfere in today's matter!" Wei Shen Senior turned around and glanced at Li Changfeng.

"General Qing Wu, if you don't want to cause trouble, you should leave quickly."

"Otherwise, if the people from Mulan Manor arrive, you'll be blamed for failing to protect the Young Lord, and you might lose your life!"

Wei Shen Senior's words were full of threat.

Of course, those words were also the truth.

If Mulan Manor found out about this, the consequences for Qing Wu would be unimaginable.

After all, Mu Haotian was dead!

"Nonsense! Mu Clan Master wouldn't kill me!" Qing Wu retorted, unconvinced.

At this moment, Qing Wu was even more desperate to take Li Changfeng's life quickly, as only then could he survive.

"Truly stubborn!" Li Changfeng shook his head helplessly.

Li Changfeng raised his head, his bright eyes gazing at Qing Wu.

Now that Mu Haotian was dead, if the Mu Family's Sect Master learned of this matter,

how could he possibly spare Qing Wu?

"Qing Wu, you need to think clearly!"

"Even if you kill me, Mu Clan Master won't let you off!"

"Perhaps, in his eyes, you are just someone who deserves to be killed."

"He might even wish that you were the one who died, instead of Mu Haotian."

"Qing Wu, do you truly understand?" Li Changfeng snorted.

Immediately, Qing Wu's heart trembled, and he drew a sharp breath.

These words had indeed shaken him internally.

In fact, Qing Wu's goal in everything he did was very simple: he just wanted to survive.

That was all!

"Enough nonsense, brat! Pay with your life!" Qing Wu roared, swinging his Sword once more.

At this moment,

Qing Wu stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and looked at General Yang not far away.

"General Yang, what are you standing there spacing out for!"

"Hurry up and come help!"

"Are you planning to just watch the show from over there?!"

Qing Wu revealed a sinister expression, and a cold glint burst forth in his eyes.

And right at this moment,

Qing Wu snorted coldly, realizing he couldn't worry about it anymore.

Things had already progressed to this point.

Mu Haotian was already dead, and this outcome wouldn't change.

And the only thing Qing Wu could do was avenge Mu Haotian!
