40: The Murong family, a mysterious old woman

"You... you actually killed Wuyou!!!"

A shrill scream pierced through the clamor of the arena.

The beautiful woman's delicate body trembled violently, looking at the corpse on the ground as if all her strength had been drained.

"I'll make you pay with your life!!"

She erupted with terrifying aura, the pressure of the Divine Fire Realm unleashed without reservation, transforming into a streak of light and attacking!

"Clang!"

A clear sword cry rang out, and a red figure abruptly blocked Qin Wushang's path, effortlessly neutralizing the attack.

Ye Hongfu's face was like frost, her sword pointing at the woman.

"On a life-and-death arena, if he was killed, then he was killed."

"What do you intend to do?"

"Your Excellency, please calm your anger, please calm your anger!"

A figure appeared like a ghost!

It was an old man.

His face was full of apologetic smiles, and he bowed deeply to Ye Hongfu and Qin Wushang, apologizing.

"I am truly very sorry! My Young Miss had some personal acquaintance with this fallen young friend, and temporarily lost control of her emotions, disturbing you two distinguished guests. This old man apologizes on her behalf."

His speech was extremely fast, and his attitude was sincere and humble!

"Hmph! You think a mere 'loss of emotional control' can explain it away?"

"If my Junior Brother was startled and his Dao Heart damaged, can you bear the responsibility?"

Ye Hongfu refused to yield an inch, her sword flickering, and her sharp Sword Intent once again locked onto the woman behind the old man.

The old man's smile remained unchanged, and he softly commanded: "The Young Miss is overly grieved, help her down to rest!"

Two Protectors immediately stepped forward, unceremoniously holding down the still struggling woman.

"Let go of this Young Miss!"

The woman's voice was sharp and venomous, glaring fixedly at Qin Wushang.

The old man waved his hand, signaling the two Protectors to take the person away!

He turned back, his smile seemingly unchanged, his tone still incredibly respectful.

"Distinguished guest, I apologize for frightening you."

"As compensation, our Dark Extremity Arena is willing to offer ten thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones, plus three bottles of Spirit Concentrating Jade Liquid that can nourish the Divine Soul and stabilize the Dao Heart, as a token of our apology!"

"Distinguished guest, the compensation will be delivered shortly. You two might as well go to the lounge to rest."

Upon hearing this, Ye Hongfu's expression softened slightly.

The old man observed her reaction and immediately pressed on, bowing even lower, and humbly said: "The compensation will be presented immediately! This distinguished guest has fought hard, why not move to a private room to rest?"

"If you have any needs, please feel free to instruct us at any time. At the Dark Extremity Arena, fulfilling our guests' needs is our highest honor!"

Li Wuyou indeed had great talent!

But for a dead man, it was not worth it to offend Qin Wushang, who had broken the limits of Body Refining!

"System! Claim reward!"

"Ding! Host has completed Choice Two, 'Just Do It!' Accepted Li Wuyou's challenge, fought in the arena, and killed him. Reward: Saint Grade palm technique Great Heaven Creation Palm, and true dragon undying medicine."

As the System's voice fell, Qin Wushang, supported by Ye Hongfu, arrived at the lounge.

It was very noisy outside the lounge, many female cultivators wanted to meet Qin Wushang face-to-face.

But they were all blocked at the door!

Ye Hongfu whispered: "Junior Brother, this Dark Extremity Arena has a very deep background, it's connected to the royal Family."

"You killed someone that woman valued, and she has already grown hateful. This trouble in the future will not be small!"

"Deep background? In this entire Great Chu Empire, is there anyone with a deeper background than me?"

Qin Wushang swallowed a Medicinal Pill for healing, unconcerned.

His nominal Revered Master, after all, was the Great Chu Empress, and she had intentions of nurturing him. In the entire Great Chu Empire, he had nothing to fear.

Compared to that Divine Fire Realm woman, he was more wary of the maid he had injured!

Logically, if the pupil light of a Heavy Pupil landed on a Mortal's body, she should have died!

But that little maid did not die!

When the two agreed to fight, Li Wuyou carried the maid into the arena, and she had not appeared since.

Connecting this to the relationship between Li Wuyou and that woman just now, he guessed that the maid must be in the hands of that Divine Fire Realm woman.

Golden Fate!

A Child of Destiny, that kind of person would only become trouble once they grew up!

"Distinguished guest, this is our Dark Extremity Arena's compensation for offending you just now, please take a look!"

"This young lady, these are the Spirit Stones you won by betting on this Young Master, please take a look."

Soon, two maids walked in, respectfully presenting two Storage Rings to the two.

The two glanced at them, accepted the items, and without further delay, got up and left... The Black Market, a secluded courtyard.

"Young Miss! Your actions just now were too undignified!"

The old man's brows were tightly furrowed, his tone carrying reproach.

"The Family sent you here to gain experience, do you not know how many eyes are watching here!"

"You were so impulsive for a dead person. If the people from the First Branch and Third Branch catch hold of this, you will have a difficult time in the Murong Family in the future!"

"A dead person? He saved my life! He was the benefactor who cured my cold poison! You call him a dead person?"

The woman's eyes were icy cold, her pupils blood red.

"I had already instructed you that if the situation was not right, you should act immediately to save him. Why didn't you save him?"

"You are a Saint, saving him would have been as easy as turning your hand over!"

The woman coldly rebuked.

She was the Young Miss of the Murong Family, Murong Yan, one of the candidates to contend for the Murong Family's Divine Maiden in the future.

The old man, as her Protector, openly defying her orders, made her very angry!

"Young Miss! You and he are not people from the same world!"

"Even if that Li Wuyou had some talent and Luck, he was ultimately a rootless water weed!"

"And that person just now was Qin Wushang! He is a direct disciple of the Empress, and this is who our Murong Family needs to curry favor with!"

The old man slowly said.

He would not stand by and watch his Young Miss fall in love with a commoner, thereby ruining her latter half of life.

He had to stop it!

"He saved me! If not for the wine he brewed that helped me cure my Innate cold poison! How could I be where I am today!"

"He has shown me kindness!"

The woman said coldly.

She had a high opinion of Li Wuyou and already had plans to support him.

If Li Wuyou rose in the future, she would also have a capable assistant in the Murong Family to contend for a place, or even the Murong Family Head!

Rather than being a sacrifice for a marriage alliance!

"But we cannot afford to offend Qin Wushang!"

"He is a direct disciple of the Empress, he broke the limits of Physical Body Body Refining, all his Spiritual Veins are connected, an unparalleled Prodigy!"

"Anyone with eyes can see that he has a grudge against Li Wuyou!"

"Saving someone from under his hand, wouldn't that be offending him? This is detrimental to you, and to the Murong Family in the future!"

The old man said.

Initially, he was only suspicious, but upon seeing the primal chaos qi swirling around his Physical Body, he basically confirmed that the Cave Heaven Realm cultivator was Qin Wushang, whose name was famous throughout the Desolate Heaven Domain.

Such a Prodigy, the Murong Family could not afford to offend.

In fact, to curry favor, they would actively seek a marriage alliance, and it would even be with the future Divine Maiden!

Just then, a maid's panicked voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Young Miss! This is bad! The little girl you brought back was forcibly taken away by a mysterious old woman!"

"What?!"

Both their expressions changed simultaneously, and powerful Divine Sense instantly spread out.

"Saint Venerable aura!"

The old man's face changed dramatically, and he cried out in shock.

"How... how did she silently intrude into our Small World?! Who exactly is she?!"

In his Divine Sense, he captured a blurry silhouette!

An old woman!

She dragged the frail maid, taking strides of hundreds of miles, disappearing like a ghost at the end of the Black Market, leaving the Small World.
