Soon after, a series of booms sounded. Everyone looked flabbergasted at the new pit on the stage, but Mu Liangde was nowhere to be seen.
From the looks of it, he must’ve completely fallen into that pit…
Meanwhile, the little girl stood expressionlessly at the edge of the pit and engaged in a staring contest with Xixia Valley’s Valley Master, who had flown up onto stage.
Xixia Valley’s Valley Master gazed speechlessly at her for a long while before he finally ordered two disciples to go forth and carry Mu Liangde out from the pit.
When the peanut gallery took a clear look, they were automatically stunned.
It was impossible to discern a hint of Mu Liangde’s prior elegance and grace from his face. His face was now even one size bigger than a pig’s head, and his entire body was streaked with blood.
“You, you…” Mu Liangde was still clinging onto his last breath. He couldn’t say another word even after glaring at Qiao Mu for a while with his swollen eyes that had formed slits.
“Mu Liangde, do you still remember Qiao Zhongbang, the person who had entered the Daybreak Sect at the same time as you?” Qiao Mu asked in a chilly voice with her hands behind her back.
Qiao Zhongbang? Qiao Zhongbang? No one had mentioned this name to him for an unknown number of years.
That youth that came from a mountain village, that talented youth that even Master was quite fond of back then.
He was about the same age as himself, so he should still be a little over 30 years old now.
This little girl’s name was Qiao Mu?
Realization suddenly dawned on Mu Liangde, and he struggled to raise his head from the stretcher. His misshapen face contorted slightly, and he strenuously asked, “You? You are Qiao Zhongbang’s dau-daughter?”
“Correct!” Qiao Mu nodded, and then she looked at him solemnly. “Back then, you saw that my father was more talented than you and were afraid that he would steal your limelight before Wei Cheng, so you stealthily poisoned him. This destroyed his mystic meridians, and he was thereupon ousted by Wei Cheng.”
“I am indeed Qiao Zhongbang’s daughter. I came to avenge my father. Do you have any objections?”
Everyone: “…”
Even if he were to object, could he say it? Could he beg for forgiveness?
The little girl didn’t wait for Mu Liangde to keep speaking and said to herself, “Since you don’t have any objections, then you can pass on peacefully.”
“Wait, wait a moment!” Mu Liangde squinted his pair of swollen eyes and spoke with a smothered cough, “You, you dare to kill me? I-I am part of Guanlan City’s Mu Clan. My, my family clan’s background is so formidable, and yet you dare… Ah!”
Before Mu Liangde could finish speaking his nonsense, a handful of colorless and tasteless medicinal powder directly flew over with a wave of the little girl’s hand.
Everything afterwards really happened in a jiffy. It was so quick that even Xixia Valley’s Valley Master, who was standing next to Mu Liangde, had yet to react.
All of a sudden, Mu Liangde, who was originally half-sitting on the stretcher, painfully rolled off of it, and he continuously howled while covering his face with his hands. He rolled about on the stage for a short while before finally lying straight on the stage without uttering a sound at all.
Qiao Mu looked at Mu Liangde with a stoic face before shaking her head disappointedly. “I had thought that you would be versed in poison and at least be able to resist it slightly for a bit.”
She hadn’t expected that he wouldn’t even be able to resist it for two minutes. She reckoned that he had brought out that packet of malevolent poison powder back then from his family.
You thought that you could soar into the skies just because you had a strong family background? If your own abilities were only comparable to a weak chicken, weren’t you still going to be dead meat?
Xixia Valley’s Valley Master glared at the little girl before him. He gawked at her for a long time before involuntarily rebuking, “Little girl, this match’s result had already been decided just now. You shouldn’t have further given him poison and poisoned him to death!”
Qiao Mu blinked. “Didn’t he die due to heavy injury?”
