90: Chapter 90 A Brief Silence

Peppa: "That's probably what it means! It's very complicated, but once you break through to Rank Seven, someone will likely come looking for you."

Devouring Bloodline was humanity's highest secret; although Peppa didn't know much about it, it was certain of this point.

"Easier said than done. I'm stuck at Peak Rank Six, and it feels like I've already reached my limit," Mu Cheng said, unable to fully explain the feeling.

However, he did vaguely feel that his... strength had reached its limit, and it would be quite difficult to continue improving.

Peppa nodded and replied.

"Mm-hmm, that's how it is with the Devouring Bloodline. Improving is more than ten times harder than it is for others, but fortunately, with your current strength, you can even hold your own against a Rank Eight."

"Once you break through to Rank Seven and your Devouring Bloodline awakens... you'll have the ability to protect yourself even against a Rank Nine."

"Bloodline awakening... you mean like an inheritance?" Mu Cheng thought for a moment and asked.

First there was Lu Yuxuan's change, and then Gu Na suddenly seemed to become a different person...

He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but one thing was very obvious: like himself, they had received a memory inheritance.

"It can indeed be called a type of inheritance! But you could also say it's destined in the dark. These special bloodlines are just like that; some are natural pairs, while others are natural enemies who won't stop until one is dead."

"Biological brothers can kill each other, and good sisters can become mortal enemies."

"It seems... bloodlines hold many secrets." Mu Cheng was suddenly quite shocked.

But now was not the time to think too much. "The urgent matter now is to change the equipment for all the ladies!"

Time was tight and the task was heavy. The Greedy Wolf Army from Skeleton Island could arrive at any moment, so he had to hurry and create.

Peppa didn't disturb Mu Cheng much, lying on the sofa nearby and snoring loudly, completely unshakeable.

As time passed minute by minute, Mu Cheng was very efficient, forging a set of qianji roughly every minute.

In two days, he completed nearly three thousand sets. Without hesitation, he immediately arranged for Tao Mumu to go down and distribute a set to each of the ladies.

Of course, he also kept a set for himself.

"Let's go out and take a look!" Mu Cheng felt he was finished, so he stopped creating qianji and directly released his Purple Cloud Wings to soar into the sky.

To him, it didn't matter whether he used a flight backpack or not; anyway, his Bloodline Power energy was continuous.

By naturally releasing the Purple Cloud Wings, he could maintain the state for a long time.

At this moment, looking at the Eastern Defense Line of Xinning City, there was nothing but white snow as far as the eye could see.

"Although this snow isn't cold, looking at it makes one feel very uneasy," Peppa suddenly lamented.

Mu Cheng didn't mind, but he suddenly remembered to ask, "By the way... how do I repair the black hole heavy sword?"

"The black hole heavy sword isn't that easy to repair. Even if you have the materials, you simply can't do it," Peppa replied bluntly.

Mu Cheng didn't ask further. "Alright then! Since you're always following me anyway, just let me know when it can be repaired."

"Mm-hmm," Peppa agreed and said no more.

Mu Cheng landed on the defensive wall of the East City. Sure enough, whether it was the ladies of Menglou Pavilion or anyone else...

Everyone was sticking to their posts. As for Tao Mumu, Tao Shuishui, and Gu Na, they were all busy, and he hadn't seen a trace of them almost all day.

"This quiet is indeed a bit terrifying. It looks like the Greedy Wolf Army will be attacking soon," Peppa suddenly spoke up slowly.

Usually, there would be some zombies or wild animals causing minor trouble... but now it was frighteningly quiet.

Mu Cheng: "It really is quite quiet."

To be honest... Mu Cheng was quite idle now, but that was an unavoidable situation, given his unique way of increasing his strength.

Instantly, the conversation died, and the atmosphere became quite awkward...

After an unknown amount of time, the sky began to gradually darken... This day remained very quiet, without any movement whatsoever.

But right at this moment, Peppa suddenly said in shock,

"It's three Rank Seven auras. It looks like those two girls from the Trading Center, and Xiao Na over at the mansion!"

"That's not surprising. With enough resources, breaking through is a matter of minutes... but Rank Seven seems like a rather awkward level of strength."
