Intruders

The guests were shocked to hear the man's order, and they looked at Mu Lin and Mu Qingge with a questioning look, but the two of them didn't pay attention to them, and they only focused on the three people.

"Yes, Young Master!" The two people replied respectfully as they quickly chased after Mu Yan.

*Bam*

Two women suddenly blocked and kicked their chests, sending them flying backward. Not only were the two people shocked to see them, but their young master was also shocked by their presence, and they really never expected to meet them there.

"Grandpa Lin."

"I know." Mu Lin nodded to Sun Xiang before he spoke to his guests. "I apologize in advance, but I have to end this banquet here because we have to settle our business with them, and I am forced to ask you all to leave my house so as not to be dragged into our problems."

"We understand, Mr. Mu." They answered in unison before starting to walk out one by one, and the three strangers had no intention of stopping them.

While they waited for the guests to leave, Mu Lin and Mu Qingge used their senses to check on Mu Yan, who was heading to the back building, but they were confused because they couldn't find Tang Huang and Tantai Lingyan there.

Sun Xiang and Xiao Meng also check on Mu Yan to make sure that she has arrived at a safe place, but they frown after they find Tang Xiao there with her. Moreover, he is still in his original form, which proves their suspicion that he is still alive.

However, the four of them were shocked because Mu Yan suddenly disappeared from that place, and Tang Xiao decided to send her into the primordial divine ark, especially since it was the safest place to hide her. Besides, he asked Tang Yin to take care of her, and he also asked Xiao Ai to speed up the body-strengthening process of his grandfather and master, especially since he wouldn't be able to fight those people with his current strength.

Although they didn't know where Tang Xiao hid Mu Yan, Mu Lin and Mu Qingge were relieved by that, so they didn't need to worry that she would be caught by those three people.

Tang Xiao himself could sense the four people's senses, but he felt irritated by his own carelessness after he realized that the other two senses belonged to Sun Xiang and Xiao Meng, and he was sure that they would definitely chase him down to catch him.

Tang Xiao then left the back building using his void dragon steps, causing her two women to frown even more, especially after they couldn't sense his presence. 'Damn it! How could he just disappear like that? Tch! I should ask Grandpa Lin about him, but I'm not sure that he will tell us.'

After they left the room, the guests immediately left the Mu House, but Yi An and Su Ruo were confused because they couldn't find Tang Xiao, especially since he was still hiding to avoid Sun Xiang and Xiao Meng. They thought that the three intruders might have done something to him, but they didn't leave immediately and waited in their car.

Mu Lin then questioned the man. "What are you doing in my house, Jiang Sheng? You came uninvited and made a fuss here; even your father and grandfather don't dare be so impudent in front of me."

"Heh!" Jiang Sheng sneered at Mu Lin. "Hey, Old Man! Hand over my daughter to me, or else this matter won't stop here, and you'll definitely regret it."

Mu Lin and Mu Qingge darkened upon hearing that, but he stopped his daughter from speaking, and he coldly spoke to Jiang Sheng. "Back then, you disowned her, and you even accused my daughter of having an affair with another man, but now you want to take Yan'er away from her."

Jiang Sheng paid no heed to Mu Lin's words and threatened him. "Don't talk too much, and hand over my daughter! Otherwise, my people on Earth II will raze your Mu Clan to the ground, and they will also slaughter your people."

"Do you think you can act as you please, Jiang Sheng?" Sun Xiang finally spoke up. "Your Jiang Clan is indeed strong, but there are still many other clans that are stronger than your clan, including my Sun Clan."

"My Xiao Clan is also much stronger than your Jiang Clan, remember?" Xiao Meng spoke as she took out two daggers. "This matter is indeed a personal matter between you guys, but Grandpa Lin is an old friend of our grandfathers, so we will not remain silent if you do something against the Mu Clan, and our clans will attack your clan together."

Jiang Sheng's expression became ugly after hearing the two women's threats, and he was naturally aware that his Jiang Clan would not be able to fight either of their clans, let alone fight both clans at once.

Mu Lin abruptly moved in front of Jiang Sheng and pressed his palm against his chest, shocking him due to his rapid speed, before hurling him backwards until he slammed into the wall.

*Bam*

"Young Master!" His two men immediately ran to his side, and they helped Jiang Sheng, who was vomiting blood, stand up.

Mu Lin didn't allow them to help Jiang Sheng, so he released his killing intent towards them, making the three of them fall to the floor. "You and your two men must leave my residence now, or I will execute you all."

"Hahahaha!" Instead, Jiang Chen laughed at Mu Lin's threat, and he turned towards the exit while shouting. "Master! Help me get rid of these people!"

"You are too weak, Jiang Sheng!"

Mu Qingge and the others increased their vigilance upon hearing the old man's voice, but they suddenly saw Mu Lin thrown back quite a distance.

"Father!" Mu Qingge shouted as she flew towards Mu Lin and caught him. "Are you all right?"

As Sun Xiang and Xiao Meng prepared to attack Jiang Sheng and his men, a young woman in all black suddenly appeared behind them, knocking them unconscious and causing them to fall hard on the floor. "You can come in now, Master."

"I'm fine." Mu Lin answered as he looked at the young woman's face seriously, especially since he didn't recognize her identity and her cultivation was almost on par with Mu Qingge, but his gaze then fell on the old man, who was casually walking into his house. "Xie Ao? I didn't expect that you were behind the Jiang Clan; no wonder that bastard dared to mess around in my house."

"Hehehehe." Xie Ao let out an eerie laugh as he shot Mu Lin a mocking glance. "You've lived in this rotten place for too long, so you don't know much news about Earth II. Back then, I lost to you because my cultivation was still below yours, but my current strength is above yours, and you will die today. Anyway, don't you feel the changes in your body?"

Mu Lin immediately checked the inside of his body after hearing that, but his expression turned pale once he discovered that a lot of poison had already spread to his internal organs, and he would not have noticed it if Xie Ao had not asked about it.

"Hehehe!" Xie Ao laughed at Mu Lin's expression. "Seems like you've noticed it, huh?"

"Cough... Cough..." Mu Lin spurted out a lot of blood from his mouth as the poison was spreading too fast. "Quickly! Get out of here, Qingge!"

"What happened to you?" Her father's condition panicked Mu Qingge.

"Leave me, Qingge! He poisoned me! The poison spreads too fast, and I won't be able to hold on much longer." Mu Lin replied as he tried to endure the pain throughout his body.

"Do you think I will let your daughter go?" "Do you think I will let your daughter go?" Xie Ao asked, casting a strange glance at Mu Qingge. "I came here not only to help Jiang Sheng, but I came here because I also want to capture her, and she will be a perfect cultivation furnace for me."

"Go now! Qingge!" Mu Li shouted as he pushed Mu Qingge back, and he definitely didn't want his daughter to fall into Xie Ao's hands, especially since she would suffer for the rest of her life.

"Father, I-Ugh!"

Xie Ao directly suppressed Mu Qingge with his aura, rendering her unable to move because their cultivation difference was too far. "Like I said, I will capture your daughter."

'Damn it!' Mu Lin inwardly cursed as he looked at Mu Qingge, who looked so oppressed by Xie Ao's oppressive aura, but he then tried to block him from approaching his daughter. "Guah!"

Mu Lin rebounded and rolled to the side after Xie Ao kicked him. "You should just lie there and wait for your death, and I will take your daughter with me."

"Master! What about my daughter? Can you find her?" Jiang Sheng suddenly asked, and he wanted to approach Xie Ao, but the young woman blocked him.

"I can't feel the little girl's presence around this house, and someone else seems to have taken her away." Xie Ao paid Jiang Sheng no mind and walked over to Mu Qingge, but a sudden kick knocked him back, and he immediately stabilized himself. He then looked at the two people who suddenly appeared and exclaimed in shock. "Tang Huang! Tantai Lingyan!"

After she got the news from Tang Xiao, Xiao Ai decided to stop Tang Huang and Tantai Lingyan's body-strengthening process, especially since the process could not be accelerated but could still be resumed later, so she woke them up and informed them of the matters outside.

"Xie Ao, huh?" Tantai Lingyan glared at him as she indifferently asked. "Have you forgotten my existence? A heretical cultivator like you dares to wreak havoc in this place."

'Tch! I didn't expect these two to suddenly appear in this place.' Xie Ao cursed in his heart as he looked at Mu Qingge. 'At this rate, I won't be able to capture that woman.'

After she escaped Xie Ao's pressure, Mu Qingge rushed to the side of her father, who had fallen unconscious, but Mu Lin's entire body had turned purple-black due to the poison, and she tried to look for an antidote in her storage ring.

However, Mu Qingge suddenly felt someone touch her shoulder, and she saw Tang Xiao standing behind her. Since his grandfather and master had left the ark, he decided to appear because Mu Lin's condition was critical, or else he would die.

Xie Ao and the others were truly shocked by Tang Xiao's sudden appearance, and they could feel that his cultivation was still too low, but he could evade their senses. Unfortunately, their shock didn't stop there, as he suddenly disappeared again, taking Mu Lin and Mu Qingge with him, which infuriated them because their plan failed miserably.

Tantai Lingyan then took out her spear, and Tang Huang took out his hammer. "You guys don't need to think about running away; all of you won't be able to escape from us."
