Ch 403 - News of Death

As Mu Qianyu and Mu Yuhuang spoke, a red-robed servant rushed over. Within the calm and elegant corridor of Saintess Palace, her echoing footsteps sounded extremely loud.
There was a knock on the door, his voice was still as important as before.
Mu Yuhuang frowned slightly, "Come in. ”
The red-robed waiter opened the big door. His face looked puzzled, and he did not bow before saying, "His Highness Qianyu, Lord Island, there was an accident. Sir Lin Ming has yet to return from the Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm! "
"What?"
Mu Yuhuang's eyes widened and he immediately stood up from his chair.
As Mu Qianyu heard these words, she could not believe her own ears. His eyes widened as he simply stared at the red-robed waitress, his hands tightly gripping the armrests of his chair. Due to the strength of his grasp, his fingers turned pale.
“Sir Mu Dingshan and Miss Mu Xiaoqing have returned. 16 people left, and 15 people returned. Only Sir Lin Ming was missing! "
16 People left, 15 people returned, only Lin Ming was missing!
As these words echoed in his ears, Mu Qianyu felt as if all the power in her body had been sucked out, and all her feelings were gone. His heart felt empty, but he did not know what this meant.
It was like the world was slowing down. She was confused, anxious, sad, completely in disbelief …
Mu Yuhuang's body stiffened for a long time. Finally, he took a deep breath and waved his hand, ordering the red-robed maid, "Return …"
After the maid retreated, she sighed, “Is my Divine Phoenix Island destiny not enough? Or does heaven itself want to punish my Divine Phoenix Island? ”
The South Sea Demon Region had already sounded a loud war cry. And in this dark moment, a talent filled with promise and hope had appeared. However, he had only been at Divine Phoenix Island for less than a month, and he had fallen within the Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm!
Such an incredible genius had fallen within the Heavenly Phoenix Mystic Realm, where death itself had an extremely low chance of occurring! If this was not the will of the heavens, then what might happen?
"Yuir …"
Mu Yuhuang turned to look at Mu Qianyu, but seeing that she was holding tightly onto the chair with her hands, her face was pale and showed a puzzled expression.
"Yuer, let's go. We must inform the Council of Elders of the great matter … "
"Inform ..." Mu Qianyu propped herself up, "tell them of what?"
"Tell them about Lin Ming's death. Even if I don't tell them, they will. I gave all of Vermillion Bird's extra blood essence to Lin Ming. I have endured a lot of pressure to do this, but now, the Elders will not let go of this opportunity to take advantage in this terrible moment. "Mu Yuhuang sadly smiled and shook his head.
Vermillion Bird's blood essence was extremely valuable to Divine Phoenix Island. If one wanted to cultivate the core part of the 'Born Vermillion Bird's Forbidden Chronicle, they would have to possess a rich and pure Vermillion Bird bloodline. There were many talented Divine Phoenix Island disciples whose bloodline purity was lost by just a little, and thus were unable to cultivate the core part of the 'Vermillion Bird Forbidden Divine Chronicle'. These disciples might only need two or three drops of Vermillion Bird blood essence in order to achieve the necessary bloodline purity.
However, there was too little Vermillion Bird blood essence. Unless one had sufficient talent or support, they would not receive. Even core disciples were unable to enjoy this treatment.
But in this case, Mu Yuhuang had actually given all of Vermillion Bird's blood essence to Lin Ming. It should be known that Lin Ming did not even have the slightest bit of Vermillion Bird bloodline with him. To help her climb to the peak of not having at all, that required a large amount of Vermillion Bird blood essence to be consumed. Problems like this are usually impossible.
Not only that, but Mu Yuhuang had given Lin Ming a much greater amount of Vermillion Bird blood essence than he needed. He had risked everything on Lin Ming, greatly anticipating that he would one day lead Divine Phoenix Island to break through into a fifth-grade sect.
This fateful resolution has caused many to become dissatisfied. However, Lin Ming's talent was too inspiring. Even a character like Mu Fengxian had been convinced, how could anyone else argue otherwise?
Everyone whose bloodline needed to be a little purer to cultivate the 'Vermillion Bird Forbidden Divine Chronicle' that was secretly slandering Lin Ming. However, no matter how much hatred they felt, they did not dare to speak in public.
But now, Lin Ming was dead! And therefore all of Vermillion Bird's blood essence was completely gone!
When Lin Ming was alive, there were people who were already jealous of him. In particular, they were like Yan Fuhong, a core disciple stuck in the middle. Due to Lin Ming's appearance, their chances of climbing even worsened.
Now that Lin Ming had died, the situation was completely different. The wall that pushed everyone down had disappeared, and people like Yan Fuhong who lost resources because of Lin Ming would not miss this opportunity to vent their dissatisfaction. And there are many of these people who also have – connections they represent a considerable and influential force.
Mu Yuhuang was already prepared to deal with them. Like the Seven Profound Valleys, Divine Phoenix Island was not a monolithic block of opinions and ideas. As the Divine Island Master of Phoenix Island, as well as a leading power and authority, there were naturally people who refused to accept this fact.
Although it was impossible to take down Mu Yuhuang due to Lin Ming's death, it was still enough to make him feel disgusted and sick.
“Yu'er, I know you are sad, but human death is like a lamp gone out; you must accept this.. ”Mu Yuhuang looked at Mu Qianyu's unconscious expression and sighed. It might be best for Yu'er not to participate in this meeting with the Council of Elders …
"Master .. Did Lin Ming really die? Is there any other possible reason? "Mu Qianyu looked at Mu Yuhuang, her voice trembling.
Mu Yuhuang shook his head. Although he was also very eager to find and alternate reasons, the situation with the Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm had been the same since Divine Phoenix Island was founded 3000 years ago. Every time people entered the smelting trial of the Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm, they would also leave at the same time. If anything is lost, they will be forever lost. There is never an exception.
"I don't believe this!" Mu Qianyu stubbornly said, "I know Lin Ming the best! From when I met him, he walked into the Flood Dragon cave, healed my wounds, absorbed the Purple Flood Dragon Divine Thunder, became the champion of the Seven Profound Valley Total Martial Faction Meeting, cultivating the 'Vermillion Bird Forbidden Divine Chronicle' until he defeated Lei Mubai; what had he done that had not exceeded all expectations? He had already given too many surprises, why couldn't it happen once more !? ”
As Mu Qianyu spoke, life seemed to return to her eyes. His voice became faster, and more confident. "I can't believe Lin Ming is dead, I won't believe Lin Ming is dead!"
Mu Yuhuang did not know what to say. His lips moved, but finally no words came out.
After a long moment of silence, Mu Yuhuang asked, "Do you want to go to the Council of Elders?"
"I'm leaving!" Mu Qianyu stood up. No matter what, she was the Saintess of Divine Phoenix Island. She was not a little girl with no opinion who would be swayed by the news that she was unable to verify herself.
……………………. .
Inside the Great Hall of the heavenly Phoenix Mountain, the fire-colored spirit boat slowly landed. Mu Yuhuang and Mu Qianyu both got off the spirit boat. After they entered the Great Hall, they discovered that many other Elders had gathered.
When they saw Mu Yuhuang arrive, many of these Elders had expressions of regret and sadness. Divine Phoenix Island had lost an extremely talented disciple, and also the opportunity of being promoted to a fifth-grade sect. But, there were also a lot of smirking faces. Among these was the Great Elder of Vermillion Bird, Mu Chihuo.
In Divine Phoenix Island, all major power players had the last name of Mu. They were direct descendants of the original Ancestor Master of Phoenix Island who had founded this sect. This Mu Chihuo was Mu Qianyu's distant uncle who was related, and also her uncle's master.
Mu Chihuo had competed with Mu Yuhuang for the position of Island Master. But, Mu Fengxian had ultimately chosen Mu Yuhuang as his successor, and thus Mu Chihuo was only able to take on the role of a Great Elder.
As the Island Master, Mu Yuhuang directly controlled the distribution of all resources; it was far above the authority of the Great Elder by a wide margin.
It should be known that there is a very complex and divisive internal relationship within Divine Phoenix Island. After 3000 years of growing up, all sorts of close relatives, distant relatives, mentors, disciples, fellow disciples, family, friends, all gathered in one place. Sometimes, there are even people who are unable to determine what relationship they have. In that case, it would be handled by certain leaders within Divine Phoenix Island who had been chosen to represent the interests of blood-related people and those with teacher and disciple relationships. This is because resource allocation is so important!
Young generation family clan and direct descendant – only who does not need resources? Just who doesn't want to have more achievements? One or two drops of Vermillion Bird's blood essence were often enough to bridge the gap between the extreme Xiantian realm and the Revolving Core realm. How could this not arouse the jealousy and hatred of others?
As he saw Mu Yuhuang arrive, Mu Chihuo sneered and did not speak.
Mu Yuhuang directly walked to the seat of honor and sat down. Then he glanced at everyone and spoke clearly, emphasizing each word, "Lin Ming has died!"
The surrounding people did not have much of a response, this matter was already known to everyone.
“This is my problem and also my responsibility. "Said Mu Yuhuang bluntly. Even though he had obtained Mu Fengxian's approval before giving Lin Ming all of the Vermillion Bird blood essence he had, he was the one who had originally put forward this idea.
"Your responsibility?" Mu Chihuo rudely said, "High Master Yuhuang, you should know that in the younger generation, it is, the core disciples on the edge only needed one or two drops of blood essence to raise their talent to a level where it was enough to practice the core part of the cultivation method 'The Vermillion Bird Forbidden Divine Chronicle'. In the future, there was no question that they would be able to become Revolving Core masters. But you have given Lin Ming more than 20 drops of blood essence! More than 20 drops! That is equal to more than 10 Revolving Core masters that we will no longer have! The Vermillion Bird faction belonging to Divine Phoenix Island and the Blue Luan Faction had a combined total of only a few dozen Revolving core powerhouses! ”
Mu Chihuo did not exaggerate his words, this was how important and precious Vermillion Bird's blood essence was to Divine Phoenix Island. Two drops was enough for an extreme Xiantian master to break through to the Revolving Core realm. Here's truth.
And the Revolving Core realm master was the backbone of Divine Phoenix Island. To lose all of Vermillion Bird's blood essence at once, this responsibility was not small!
At this time, the other Elder said, “Tuan Island. Previously, I did not oppose you in giving Lin Ming the Vermillion Bird blood essence. But you should at least wait until he returns safely from the Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm before doing so. Yet you gave Vermillion Bird's blood essence to Lin Ming before he entered. What reason? ”
The second one who spoke was an old man named Yan Yusheng. He was the Elder of Divine Phoenix Island who did not share Mu's last name. In general, these Elders who did not have last names were weaker. Thus, they would wisely not interfere with the interpersonal faction battles. However, this Yan Yusheng was the grandfather of Yan Fuhong. Originally, Yan Fuhong was able to enter the Ancient Phoenix Main Hall. But because of Lin Ming's appearance, he had been removed from the list of participants. This was the last time that Yan Fuhong would be able to enter the Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm. The next time it opened, he no longer had the qualifications!
As for Vermillion Bird's blood essence, no part was given to Yan Fuhong.
Yan Fuhong was originally suppressed by Lin Ming and could not even be a little angry. But now that Lin Ming had died, all of Yan Fuhong's hatred and enmity had exploded, and he went to cry while crying to his grandfather. Yan Fuhong was Yan Yusheng's most accomplished and talented grandson, and the family had high hopes for him. Thus Yan Yusheng would try to get justice for Yan Fuhong.
