Chapter 438 - The Tragic Mu Liangde (1/2)
Soon after, a series of booms sounded. Everyone looked flabbergasted at the new pit on the stage, but Mu Liangde was nowhere to be seen.
From the looks of it, he must’ve completely fallen into that pit…
Meanwhile, the little girl stood expressionlessly at the edge of the pit and engaged in a staring contest with Xixia Valley’s Valley Master, who had flown up onto stage.
Xixia Valley’s Valley Master gazed speechlessly at her for a long while before he finally ordered two disciples to go forth and carry Mu Liangde out from the pit.
When the peanut gallery took a clear look, they were automatically stunned.
It was impossible to discern a hint of Mu Liangde’s prior elegance and grace from his face. His face was now even one size bigger than a pig’s head, and his entire body was streaked with blood.
“You, you…” Mu Liangde was still clinging onto his last breath. He couldn’t say another word even after glaring at Qiao Mu for a while with his swollen eyes that had formed slits.
“Mu Liangde, do you still remember Qiao Zhongbang, the person who had entered the Daybreak Sect at the same time as you?” Qiao Mu asked in a chilly voice with her hands behind her back.
Qiao Zhongbang? Qiao Zhongbang? No one had mentioned this name to him for an unknown number of years.
That youth that came from a mountain village, that talented youth that even Master was quite fond of back then.
He was about the same age as himself, so he should still be a little over 30 years old now.
This little girl’s name was Qiao Mu?
Realization suddenly dawned on Mu Liangde, and he struggled to raise his head from the stretcher. His misshapen face contorted slightly, and he strenuously asked, “You? You are Qiao Zhongbang’s dau-daughter?”
“Correct!” Qiao Mu nodded, and then she looked at him solemnly. “Back then, you saw that my father was more talented than you and were afraid that he would steal your limelight before Wei Cheng, so you stealthily poisoned him. This destroyed his mystic meridians, and he was thereupon ousted by Wei Cheng.”
