As Mu Junli’s words came to an end, he clenched his hand, and with a mere gesture, Sheng Shaoqing’s figure was abruptly pulled towards him through the air.

Mu Junli let out a soft chuckle and said, “Sheng Wufei, if the Sheng Dan Pavilion dares to act so recklessly again, I will not hesitate to eliminate you as well. Do you believe me?”

A sharp crack echoed through the air.

Before Sheng Shaoqing could utter a single word, his neck snapped, and his eyes gradually dimmed, the light of life fading away.

“Mu Junli!”

Sheng Wufei roared in fury at that moment.

Mu Junli had actually killed Sheng Shaoqing!

Yet, despite his roar, Sheng Wufei did not dare to make a move.

He dared not, for he knew that even ten of him combined would not be a match for Mu Junli.

Within the vast territory of the Qingyun Empire, perhaps no one could defeat Mu Junli.

At that moment, an oppressive silence enveloped the surroundings.

Mu Junli flung Sheng Shaoqing’s lifeless body aside and, with another wave of his hand, sent Shen Yunrui’s corpse flying away. He then looked at Sheng Wufei and said with a smile, “Leave.”

Faced with Mu Junli’s arrogant demeanor, Sheng Wufei was left speechless. His face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood before retreating in disarray, taking his people with him…

Mu Junli glanced around and said with a smile, “The spectacle is over. Everyone can disperse now.”

The crowd scattered hurriedly, not daring to linger.

However, the events that had unfolded within Qingyun Pavilion today would undoubtedly spread throughout the entire capital.

And the name Ye Wushuang would surely become well-known.

At that moment, Mu Qiqi affectionately linked her arm with her father’s and said in a tender voice, “Dad, why have you come back?”

“I missed you,” Mu Junli replied with a smile. “Why, are you not happy to see me?”

“Of course I am!” Mu Qiqi quickly pulled her father over to Ye Wushuang and introduced them, “Dad, this is Ye Wushuang, the alchemist I brought back from Liu Yue City. I have already hired Ye Wushuang as our Qingyun Pavilion’s guest alchemist.”

Mu Junli looked at Ye Wushuang and nodded approvingly, saying, “He is a fine young man with remarkable alchemical skills.”

“Ye Wushuang, is it?” Mu Junli said with a smile. “Rest assured, as a guest alchemist of Qingyun Pavilion, you have nothing to fear. Qingyun Pavilion will be your backing.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but smile and said, “I… wasn’t afraid to begin with…”

At that moment, everyone was taken aback.

Mu Qiqi quickly stepped in front of Ye Wushuang and whispered, “Be more polite when speaking to my father…”

While others might not be aware of her father’s status, Mu Qiqi was well aware.

The reason Qingyun Pavilion could compete with the Sheng Dan Pavilion, which had the backing of the Sheng Dan Sect, was not because of the Qingyun Empire’s support, but because of her father.

Even the emperor, her uncle, treated her father with utmost respect.

Ye Wushuang, hearing this, replied with a hint of helplessness, “I already was polite…”

“However…”

Looking at Mu Junli, Ye Wushuang said with a calm smile, “Your display of power just now was indeed impressive, but… I’m afraid your dominance won’t last a decade…”

These words caused everyone present to be stunned.

Qing Mengli’s expression turned cold as she glared at Ye Wushuang, her eyes filled with hostility.

Mu Junli also looked at Ye Wushuang with a hint of surprise.

Mu Qiqi, on the other hand, was furious and said, “Ye Wushuang, what are you talking about?”

Ye Wushuang simply smiled and said, “I’m just speaking the truth.”

“Just now, if the Qingyun Pavilion’s master had no intention of killing Sheng Shaoqing, I might not have stayed here.”

“It was Mu Qiqi’s sincerity that moved me to stay and serve as the guest alchemist of Qingyun Pavilion. Moreover, given what happened today, staying here is not a bad choice for me.”

“Since fate has brought us together and I’ve met your father, I don’t want you to lose him in ten years…”

At that moment, Mu Qiqi became thoroughly angry and huffed, “Do you even know what kind of power my father possesses? What nonsense are you spouting?”

“Whether you believe it or not, I think your father will make his own judgment.”

At this moment, Ye Wushuang’s eyes, filled with a faint but resolute gaze, looked at the formidable Mu Junli standing before him.
