AST 904 – Qing Shui’s Power, Using Formation to Curb Enemies

Qing Shui didn’t feel anything as he looked at the Sky Prison’s Old Fifth, who was pointing at him. He didn’t show any indication as he waited for the Mu Clan’s decision.

Mu Qing was intelligent, but at this moment, she probably couldn’t guess Qing Shui’s intentions. She didn’t believe that Qing Shui was someone who could go against the Sky Prison Sect and thus naturally wouldn’t have guessed his thoughts.

Mu Fengyang had controlled this branch of the Mu Clan for 300 years, and his descendants had worked hard to prove themselves. Presently, his branch had become the mainstay of the Mu Clan. However, they were facing the Sky Prison Sect, a great sect whose legacy was much longer and whose abilities were more powerful than that of the Mu Clan.

Now, the Sky Prison Sect had come to their door. However, he knew that if he were to hand up that young man, everything would be over. Although the Mu Clan was in no way comparable to the Sky Prison Sect, the Sky Prison Sect would still not dare to do anything to the Mu Clan, at least for a few more decades.

Mu Fengyang’s grandfather was still around, but he was in his final years. At most, he would live only 50 more years. Although the old man no longer involved himself with what was happening in the outside world, if his descendants were threatened with extinction, he would definitely start a war.

Of course, there were people in the Sky Prison Sect who could fight against this old man. Rather, if a strong expert like him were to go on a crazed rampage, even the Sky Prison Sect would suffer great damages.

Moreover, they had never thought of actually eradicating the Mu Clan. However, with the rumors spreading like wildfire, they were fighting to get back their reputation.

Mu Fengyang really felt at a loss. After all, the other party had already taken a step back and decided not to pursue the issue further against the Mu Clan. However, there was no way for them to let that young man off.

Mu Fengyang was very clear that the reason the Sky Prison Sect was here today was just to deal with Qing Shui. Their reputation could be salvaged if they dealt with him. However if they handed him over, the Mu Clan’s reputation would be lost…

“Sky Prison’s Old Fifth, he’s a friend of our Mu Clan. You can forget about taking him away today.”

They were very clear that Qing Shui had saved Mu Qing and the others. Moreover, news had already been spread out. If they were to let Sky Prison Sect take Qing Shui, the Mu Clan’s reputation would be completely ruined.

Therefore, Mu Fengyang had no other choice. Even so, in such a life and death situation for their clan, he had considered handing Qing Shui over. It was because compared to the very survival of their clan, everything else wasn’t important.

Furthermore, what had been spread out were just rumors. Rumors would gradually disappear as time passed.

“Today, even if we fight to the bitter death, you guys can forget about bringing him away.” Mu Qian looked at Qing Shui and Mu Qing. Seeing his daughter’s worried gaze, he was even more sure about his decision.

Moreover, he saw that Qing Shui didn’t seem to be scared and that puzzled him. He felt that he had not been able to see through this young man at all. Now, he realized that Qing Shui was becoming even more inscrutable.

“Since that’s the case, we can only forcefully bring him away,” the Sky Prison’s Old Fifth said, unconcerned.

Right now, Qing Shui had become the center of attention. This was something which he had not expected.

“Senior!” Qing Shui called out for Mu Qian, who was just about to speak.

Mu Qian looked at Qing Shui, puzzled.

“Thank you. Since this is something I had done and caused them to look for me, let me be the one to take care of it.” Qing Shui said calmly, his tone as if he had just said something insignificant.

“Qing Shui, don’t!” When Mu Qing heard Qing Shui’s words, she anxiously grabbed his sleeves.

Many people looked at this scene in disbelief. To think that the city’s first beauty, Miss Mu, had this side to her as well. Now, almost everyone had already felt that Miss Mu liked this young man, but the extent of her infatuation still clearly surprised them.

“Trust me!” Qing Shui gently pulled off Mu Qing’s hand.

“Qing Shui, I’ll protect you with my name on the line until I’m dead.” Mu Qian said, after throwing a glance at his daughter.

“Uncle, I’m well aware of your kind intentions. Let me handle this. If I can’t handle it, then you guys can step in. Will this do?” Qing Shui smiled and said. Since this was the Mu Clan’s decision, Qing Shui couldn’t just hide behind them.

Dong Yan and Sun Yan were standing next to Qing Shui. It was clear that they were going to stand alongside Qing Shui.

Qing Shui knew that these two were really people he could consider his brothers.

“Old Master, thank you!” Qing Shui looked at Mu Fengyang and said, bowing, before heading up to the front amidst Mu Fengyang’s astonished gaze. He stood right before the people from the Sky Prison Sect.

“If I meet that idiot, that fool who thinks that forming a lousy thing like that makes him formidable, I’ll still kill him,” Qing Shui looked at that Sky Prison’s Old Fifth and said.

Lousy thing… Their formation being described as some lousy thing, the Flower Crusher called a fool, and that he would still kill him if they met again…

Many people choked when they heard Qing Shui’s words. No matter what, they had not expected Qing Shui to say this. They couldn’t tell if he was arrogant or simply ignorant.

“You don’t know how big the world is! You’re really courting death!”

The Sky Prison’s Old Fifth was infuriated by Qing Shui’s words as he pounced toward Qing Shui, slapping down his palm toward him. He clearly didn’t give a hoot about Qing Shui.

He had initially only wanted to bring him away. Killing a junior like him wouldn’t reflect very well on his standing. Moreover, killing him here would only infuriate the Mu Clan. However, this young man who didn’t know any better had really infuriated him.

One needed to have backing to be arrogant. Without any resources, an arrogant person could only be said to be ignorant. The attack by the Sky Prison’s Old Fifth was one launched out of anger.

Even if Qing Shui could defeat the “Flower Crusher”, there was no way he could compare to Old Fifth.
