Chapter 926 - 575: Mu Qianshan: I Didn’t Expect Him to Trust Me So Much! (2)
Mu Qianshan fought at the front, while Jiang Yuan continuously released skills from the back.
But this is the troublesome part of a mixed battle.
The personnel overlap made it impossible to use large-scale attack skill cards.
For the sake of their follow-up plans, Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan needed to maintain a good reputation.
Otherwise, no one would seek revenge for them, and Wan Jia City would gradually return to a state of three-way power struggle.
Wouldn't their deaths be in vain then?
So now Jiang Yuan could only endure and continuously use individual attack skills to launch attacks.
Of course, he only targeted those with lower strength.
Meanwhile, both the Linglong Pagoda and the True Stand No Shadow were ready.
The Linglong Pagoda had already transformed into a black pot using Seventy-two Changes·Finger Transformation.
The effect is the same, only the appearance is different.
But since it's a mixed battle, Jiang Yuan was unsure if a stronger Demon Race would attack him.
So the skill card True Stand No Shadow was very necessary.
Feigning death could be done with a clone.
Once the clone was killed, it was easy to distinguish between clone and main body.
But with the blinding technique, it could be disguised, though they couldn't die just yet.
Because Lan Jingtong hadn't arrived.
They needed Lan Jingtong to provide them with a corpse.
The corpse from which they had previously obtained the bloodline.
Of course, the corpse couldn't appear here directly.
After all, the time of death was a very crucial detail.
The corpse had to be destroyed!
This was also part of the plan.
As for when the clone and the main body would separate?
That would depend on when the defense at the Treasure Vault side would get distracted.
"Die!"
Jiang Yuan's identity as Murong Yunhai was quite prominent.
Not only that, as a genius of the Murong Family, due to the Three Family Martial Arts Competition, he was also very well-known.
This led to someone targeting him and launching an attack shortly after his appearance on the field.
The one attacking Jiang Yuan was a burly man from the Duanmu family at the Ninth Realm Chunwei Early Stage.
With a giant mountain-opening axe in his hand, he made a large leap towards Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan unhesitatingly used his Thunder Instant Body to distance himself.
But clearly, he wasn't the only one attacking Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan had just landed from his Thunder Instant Body when the Seventy-Two Transformations·Mengtou sent a wave of danger.
Jiang Yuan looked towards the direction of danger, and a dagger had already emerged from the void, stabbing towards his chest.
"Ding!"
"Two Chunwei Early Stage guys bullying a Chunhuo Early Stage!"
"Do you have no shame?"
Jiang Yuan paused, looking up at the opponent's grizzled beard.
This was the Murong Family Master?
He came so quickly?
Jiang Yuan had just arrived here not long ago.
The True Stand No Shadow was ready, but now wasn't needed?
Jiang Yuan felt somewhat helpless, but the Murong Family Master had already aimed his long spear, stabbing to death the assassin card master who had just ambushed Jiang Yuan.
"Worthless!"
The Murong Family Master spat, then looked at the burly man holding the mountain-opening axe.
But that man was nimble, quickly dodging and disappearing into the crowd.
"Come back with me!"
"No, my brother is here!"
Facing the Murong Family Master, Jiang Yuan still insisted resolutely.
Seeing Jiang Yuan's stubbornness, the Murong Family Master's eyes softened.
"Since you don't want to leave, then I'll guard here."
After speaking, the Murong Family Master looked around and raised his voice.
"I dare anyone to touch a hair on you!"
The loud voice silenced the entire Shangguan Family for a moment, but the sound of fighting resumed the next second.
Stronger opponents faced stronger adversaries.
All I need to do is defeat those in front of me!
"Old fool, you have no shame at all!"
As the rallying cries resounded once more, a loud voice also echoed.
It was the Duanmu Family Head!
The Duanmu Family Head, a powerhouse in the Eleventh Realm Early Fire stage!
While the Murong Family Master was merely a Tenth Realm Late-stage Longevity Star!
"Guard your family's people, let your family attack at will."
"Yet, when our family members dare to strike, you want to kill us."
The Duanmu Family Head sneered: "What kind of rule is that?"
"He's our family's genius, crucial to our family's development for the next century, can't afford to lose!"
The Murong Family Master, upon realizing the Duanmu Family Head's presence, turned serious.
He, however, discarded his previous timid, good-natured image and spoke gravely.
"Isn't Duanmu Lan a genius of our Duanmu family?"
"Is she not stronger than that guy behind you?"
"Yet she still died at the hands of the Shangguan Family!"
"You tell me, am I right or not!"
The Duanmu Family Head was furious, questioning the Murong Family Head.
But Jiang Yuan, behind the Murong Family Master, discreetly smirked.
Wasn't Duanmu Lan stronger than me?
So how did she end up dying by my hand?
But, of course, this isn't something to say outright.
"That's a matter between you and the Shangguan Family, not involving our Murong Family."
Facing the Duanmu Family Head's pressure, the Murong Family Head stood firm.
"I've stated clearly, I'm set on protecting Yunhai, even if you come yourself, it won't change!"
To be honest, at that moment, Jiang Yuan was truly moved.
Although they hadn't interacted for long, Jiang Yuan knew that the Murong Family Head wasn't very strong.
He's always been humble, putting the family first, yet now he's being firm for his sake.
Jiang Yuan was indeed surprised.
But neither side gave Jiang Yuan time to be touched.
The Duanmu Family Head was quick-tempered.
Hearing the Murong Family Master's words, he immediately exploded, launching an attack.
Simultaneously, Mu Qianshan made his way to Jiang Yuan's side.
"Just die directly!"
"Did you find the Treasure Vault?"
The two used Sound Transmission into Secret, with Jiang Yuan excitedly asking Mu Qianshan.
However, Mu Qianshan was even more enthusiastic: "No, I didn't find the Treasure Vault."
"Why die directly?"
Jiang Yuan was puzzled, but just as he asked, Mu Qianshan's excited voice chimed in again.
"That old guy gave me everything from the Treasure Vault!"
Mu Qianshan was ecstatic: "He saw that the Murong Family Master was protecting you, and you were protecting me, so he entrusted me with the contents of the Treasure Vault!"
"If we survive this, the Treasure Vault will be returned to the family."
"If we don't, I, the most talented, will become the new head of the Shangguan Family, leading it to develop in other cities."
"Is that even possible?"
Jiang Yuan was stunned, while Mu Qianshan burst into hearty laughter.
"I never expected such a pleasant surprise to come so suddenly!"
"This is like giving the mice the keys to the granary!"
"There's no real difference, so we can die too."
Jiang Yuan chuckled: "Find an opportunity to die, and then head to the Duanmu family!"
"In the Murong Family, Nezha and Zhao Gongming will take action."
"Understood."
As their conversation ended, the Shangguan Family Head charged forth.
Along with the Murong Family Master, he clashed fiercely with the Duanmu Family Head.
However, the gap of a Great Realm was clear, even with their combined efforts, they still retreated step by step before the Duanmu Family Head in the Eleventh Realm Early Fire stage.
"Does your Murong Family seek destruction? Then I'll grant your wish!"
With his spear sweeping the battlefield, the Duanmu Family Head's arrogant words reached both the Murong and Shangguan Family Heads' ears.
"Originally, I planned to eliminate the Shangguan Family first, then slowly devour your Murong Family."
"But since you came willingly!"
"That's just perfect!"
"Wiping you all out at once will save time!"
"So, was the Duanmu Lan incident orchestrated by your family all along?" the Shangguan Family Head asked in rage and shock.
If it had indeed been premeditated, this might be a trap of their own making!
"Hmph!"
"To destroy both your families, it doesn't require our family to sacrifice a genius!"
"Advance!"
The Duanmu Family Head ordered, and two more figures appeared in the sky, charging towards them!
