Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King’s Concubine

Chapter 263 – Crisis Arise Part 3

“Hahaha!” She laughed heartily all of a sudden. “Mu Ru Yue, I knew you would respond like that, but did you really think you have a choice? The stupidest decision you could have ever made was coming here today. Do you think you can still leave this place? I’ve already set up a trap as I was waiting for you. Haha!”

Mu Ru Yue narrowed her eyes slightly and replied stoically, “I know that, and still I came. I will find the boy’s location, and also continue to stay with Wu Chen.”

It was a risky decision she had made this time, but she didn’t regret it…

Nangong Zi Feng sniggered. This girl was indeed powerful in her previous life, but the disparity between her past and current powers was too much. She was no longer that peerless expert in the Chi Zha Central Region.

Right now, she was just a soft fruit that could be squashed at any time.

“Mu Ru Yue, I will make you leave elder brother Wu Chen at any cost!” Nangong Zi Feng’s body moved in a flash, a coat of freezing aura around her palm striking at Mu Ru Yue.

Mu Ru Yue didn’t have time to speak and just stared at Nangong Zi Feng. The instant the palm hit her body, the bone piercing cold turned her complexion pale.

Pfft!

A mouthful of blood landed on Nangong Zi Feng’s face.

Nangong Zi Feng wiped off the blood, with disgust. Like a powerful tempest, her body released a frosty aura which coated the surrounding grasses and trees with a layer of ice.

Her jade-like hand repeatedly struck the young girl, who was overwhelmed by her aura and was forced to retreat till the edge of the seemingly bottomless cliff. As she focused on Nangong Zi Feng, Mu Ru Yue’s eyes suddenly lit up.

However, that light disappeared so quickly that Nangong Zi Feng didn’t even notice it…

Seeing the previously powerful Senior Yue now—a young girl whom she could pressure to such a sorry state—Nangong Zi Feng laughed with pride and a touch of hysteria. But then Mu Ru Yue suddenly leaped up and threw white powder at her.

Nan Gong Zi Feng’s expression changed drastically. She heard the young girl’s cold voice say, “I’ve just gotten the information I wanted.”

As the white powder scattered in the wind, the young girl’s white clothes fluttered, and  a cold curve of the lips appeared on her exceptional face.

“What did you just do?” Nangong Zi Feng asked, gritting her teeth with a great change in her expression.

Mu Ru Yue looked at her and replied, “It’s just a powder—which helped me use my mental power to look through your memories. A pity that my current level is insufficient for a thorough search. Fortunately, I still got the answers I needed. Nangong Zi Feng, this is the real reason why I came to see you.”

Nangong Zi Feng’s expression stiffened. She had really underestimated this woman. But so what? Today would still be the day of her death…

“Do you think you can leave? Mu Ru Yue, since you’ve come, the only way out is death! Hahaha!”

Boom!

Suddenly, the originally peaceful South Mountain blazed with fire.The fire engulfed the entirety of South Mountain. It made the dark night as bright as day.

But these flames didn’t give off any scorching heat, just a feeling of iciness…

✶

At a faraway mountain range, Yan Jin stopped what he was doing, his black robes fluttering in the wind. He shifted his gaze in the direction of the Xiao family of Xiao City,  with his sword-like brows furrowed tightly. The unease in his heart seemed to want to engulf him from within.

“It seems like something has happened to the little girl. But with that person by her side, how could she be in danger?”

Yet, the unease in his heart was so intense, it was unbearable…

[Hey all, Miki had decidedly to change the sound effect ‘Hong!’ to ‘Boom!’ as it seems to be confusing some people of what it means XD]
