Immortal God of War-Chapter 809 - 774: The Nine Regions and the Central Divine Nation
The Mysterious Lady glanced at the woman in white, then looked at Qin Feiyang, teasingly saying, "Are you thinking now that you don’t have to bear the blame anymore?"
Qin Feiyang raised an eyebrow.
This woman, is she plotting something again?
The Mysterious Lady ignored Qin Feiyang, looking at the woman in white with a sinister smile, "Thank you for reminding me."
"What do you mean?"
The woman in white frowned, a sense of foreboding rising in her heart.
"I predict that the first region will soon become an Asura hell."
The Mysterious Lady laughed.
"What?"
The eyes of the woman in white trembled.
Qin Feiyang was also filled with doubt and suspicion, "Are you planning to kill everyone in the first region?"
"Did I say that?"
"But your suggestion is quite good, I’ll seriously consider it."
The Mysterious Lady looked at him playfully.
"You’re simply a madwoman!"
Qin Feiyang was furious.
The woman’s intentions were already clear, to slaughter everyone in the first region, burying the truth forever.
"I’m confused."
"Why do you want to do this, just to frame Qin Feiyang?"
The woman in white looked at the Mysterious Lady in shock.
The first region’s overall strength was weak, but it had the most people.
If she truly killed them all, blood would surely flow like rivers, bodies strewn everywhere!
"Frame him?"
"You’re giving him too much credit; this is just a game."
"Games definitely have winners and losers."
"Whether winning or losing, there will be sacrifices."
The Mysterious Lady sneered, displaying extreme coldness.
"The lives of countless people are just a game to you, how can you be so vicious?"
Qin Feiyang was furious, wishing he could immediately kill this woman.
This woman had already lost her humanity, consumed by madness!
"Vicious?"
The Mysterious Lady smiled indifferently.
Boom!
Suddenly.
A terrifying pressure burst from her body, rushing towards Qin Feiyang and the woman in white.
This majesty surpassed the realm of Saint Prestige, clearly an Emperor’s Might!
Qin Feiyang and the woman in white were immediately immobilized in mid-air.
"Once I kill you, and then everyone in the first and second regions, the truth will remain unknown."
"And Qin Feiyang, doomed to take the blame, unable to escape."
The Mysterious Lady looked at the woman in white with a smile.
"What?"
"You want to kill the people in the second region as well?"
Qin Feiyang was dumbfounded.
The Mysterious Lady turned her head towards him, smiling, "If you kneel and beg me, I might consider changing my mind."
"Dream on!"
Qin Feiyang clenched his fists, his eyes cold as ice.
If he could truly save the people of the two regions, he might consider kneeling.
But he knew this woman too well; once she made up her mind, she would not change it.
If he really kneeled, not only would it not help, it would result in utter humiliation.
"Then there’s no help."
The Mysterious Lady shook her head in disappointment, raising her arm slowly as Battle Intent surged at her fingertips, emitting a destructive aura.
The target was the woman in white!
"What a lively scene!"
But at this moment.
A light laugh came from afar.
"That voice..."
Qin Feiyang’s heart tightened.
Two beams of light streaked across the sky at lightning speed.
Once their true forms materialized, one of them was Qin Feiyang’s old acquaintance, Mu Qing!
Beside Mu Qing was an old crone in black, hunched over, leaning on a black staff, her deep-set eyes flickering with eerie light.
"Why are you always in such a sorry state every time I see you?"
Mu Qing looked at Qin Feiyang teasingly.
Qin Feiyang said expressionlessly, "There’s never anything good when I encounter you."
"Don’t be so cold. After all, we once fought side by side."
"Besides, I’m not here for you this time."
Mu Qing said, her gaze suddenly cold, turning to look at the Mysterious Lady, "Isn’t it time to settle the score for Sky Thunder City?"
The Mysterious Lady ignored him, her eyes fixed firmly on the old crone in black.
The old crone was the same, sizing up the Mysterious Lady since she appeared, as if trying to see through her.
"Who are you?"
The old crone broke the silence first, speaking hoarsely.
"If I remember correctly, you should be the previous butler of the Mu Family?"
The Mysterious Lady responded with a question instead of an answer.
"Previous butler?"
Qin Feiyang was secretly surprised.
The previously mentioned Elder Sheng was the current butler of the Mu Family and had the strength of an Eight-star War Saint, so how strong was this previous butler?
The foundation of the Mu Family was indeed terrifying!
He became curious again.
With the Mu Family’s power, killing him should be easy, so why hadn’t they acted yet?
Was it just because of Lu Xingchen’s arrangement?
If so, then the relationship between Lu Xingchen and the Mu Family was extraordinary!
"You even know my identity, it seems you’re quite familiar with the Mu Family!"
"But this old woman doesn’t remember anyone like you on the Forgotten Continent."
The old crone was amazed by how the Mysterious Lady instantly recognized her identity.
But more than that, she was puzzled.
The Mu Family was a supreme existence on the Forgotten Continent.
As the previous butler of the Mu Family, she knew anyone with any power or status.
But this woman before her, she had no impression of, completely unfamiliar.
"Me?"
The Mysterious Lady smiled faintly, "I’m just a nameless nobody, not worth the Mu Family’s notice."
"An impressive War Emperor is still just a nobody?"
"It seems you won’t confess honestly. I have no choice but to capture you first and bring you back to the clan for a slow interrogation."
With those words!
The gaze of the old woman in black turned slightly cold. Gripping her black cane, she stomped forcefully in the air.
Boom!
An overwhelming ferocity surged out from that black cane in an instant.
Within the cane, it was as if a peerless fierce beast was sealed. As soon as the ferocity emerged, Qin Feiyang felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss.
Despair, panic, fear, and other negative emotions surged uncontrollably like a tide, drowning his entire being instantly.
Meanwhile.
The mysterious lady also stared at that black cane, her pupils contracting.
Swish!
Suddenly.
She turned around, using a mysterious footwork, and swiftly disappeared into the horizon.
The old woman in black sneered and said, "Young Master, should we chase?"
Mu Qing glanced at Qin Feiyang, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Chase!"
The old woman in black immediately waved her hand, taking Mu Qing and disappearing into the sky like a bolt of lightning.
"What’s happening?"
Qin Feiyang was stunned.
Why did everyone leave all of a sudden?
"Mu Family?"
The woman in white looked at the backs of Mu Qing and the old woman, frowning beautifully, lost in thought.
When the mysterious lady and Mu Qing disappeared from sight, Qin Feiyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what, he managed to get rid of the trouble called the mysterious lady.
Then.
He looked at the woman in white and asked, "Do you know about the Mu Family?"
"Never heard of them."
The woman in white shook her head.
"You don’t know, your sister doesn’t know, who exactly is this Mu Family?"
Qin Feiyang was puzzled.
"The Forgotten Continent is vast. It is said that besides the First and Second Regions, there are seven other deep regions."
The woman in white said.
"So, there are a total of nine regions on the Forgotten Continent?"
Qin Feiyang said.
"Yes."
"And besides these nine regions, there is a tenth region, which is called the Central Divine Nation."
"The territory of the Central Divine Nation is extremely vast, even larger than the nine major regions combined."
"It is said that in the Divine Nation, strong individuals are as common as clouds. Anyone can possess the ability to overturn rivers and seas."
"I suspect this Mu Family might be from the Central Divine Nation."
The woman in white speculated.
"Central Divine Nation..."
Qin Feiyang murmured.
It seems the Forgotten Continent is even more complex than he imagined.
"Have you been to the Central Divine Nation?"
Qin Feiyang asked.
"No."
The woman in white shook her head, her eyes full of longing.
"No?"
Qin Feiyang was surprised and asked, "Is there an Elixir Tower in each of the nine regions?"
"Yes."
The woman in white nodded.
Qin Feiyang asked again, "So where is the headquarters of your Elixir Tower?"
"The Pavilion Masters of our branch don’t have the authority to inquire about such things, so I don’t know either."
"The headquarters might be in the Ninth Region or in the Central Divine Nation."
The woman in white said.
"Why does it seem like you’re not very familiar with the Elixir Tower?"
Qin Feiyang frowned.
"The Elixir Tower is very mysterious."
"Even as branch masters, we only know of the Elixir Tower’s existence."
"As for other things, like who the General Tower Master is or how long the Elixir Tower has existed, we have no idea."
The woman in white also appeared perplexed and seemed genuinely lost, not pretending.
"Then how did you and your sister become the masters of the First and Second Regions’ towers?"
Qin Feiyang was suspicious.
"I was appointed as the master of the Second Region by the master of the Third Region."
"I appointed my sister to be the master of the First Region."
"As per our Elixir Tower’s system, each level supervises the level below it."
"For example, the master of the First Region reports to the master of the Second Region..."
"The master of the Second Region reports to the master of the Third Region..."
"And so on."
"Similarly."
"If there’s an issue, we branch tower masters can only report to the person one level above and can’t overstep our authority."
"For instance, I can only report to the master of the Third Region, cannot directly contact the master of the Fourth Region, let alone the General Tower Master."
"Of course, I also can’t directly contact the General Tower Master."
The woman in white said.
Qin Feiyang, after listening, couldn’t help but slightly furrow his brows.
The so-called system of the Elixir Tower was easy to understand.
It was similar to the system of the Great Qin Empire.
The eighteen large counties were respectively governed by the nine major states, and the nine major states were governed by the Imperial Capital, with no overstepping allowed.
But this system had both advantages and disadvantages.
The disadvantage was its rigidity and complexity.
Moreover, once major events happened in the various regions, the highest-level authorities would not receive the news immediately.
For example, this time, the theft of the Flame of Sky Thunder has already taken place for quite a while, and the General Pavilion Master of the Elixir Tower likely still doesn’t know.
But the benefit is that the highest-level authorities don’t have to be overwhelmed with work.
Just think.
If the tower masters from all regions went to find the General Tower Master whenever there was an issue, wouldn’t he be overwhelmed?
Conversely, due to the existence of this system, each branch tower master from each region can share some of the burdens for the General Tower Master.
So, no matter what, it’s impossible to achieve perfection in everything.
"Back then, after I became the master of the Second Region tower, I appointed my sister to be the master of the First Region to take care of her."
"After all, being a master of the Elixir Tower not only puts one in a high position but also provides many cultivation resources."
"But unexpectedly, it ended up getting her killed."
The woman in white mumbled to herself again, her face full of self-blame.
