Alchemy Master

Chapter 945, There’s Trouble

Translator: Silavin

Currently, this street was already packed with guards. They had not seen any guards when entering the city. Perhaps they were all concentrated here.

“There’s definitely trouble.” Qin Yichen’s eyes narrowed slightly. He could sense that those auras making him wary all came from within this residence.

The three’s sudden appearance quickly drew the guards’ attention. Immediately, numerous auras locked onto them. Many guards even gripped their weapons, adopting a formation as if facing a great enemy.

“Young… Young Master Mu?!”

Just as Mu Yanfeng’s brows furrowed tightly, suddenly a middle-aged guard rushed forward from the crowd, calling out somewhat incredulously.

“Uncle Chang, what’s going on?” Mu Yanfeng asked with a slightly darkened expression.

“Young Master Mu… You’ve finally returned. Alas…” Hearing this familiar address, the last trace of vigilance in the middle-aged guard’s eyes dissipated. It was as if the latter’s appearance had excited him to the point of incoherence.

“Young Master Mu, three months ago, at Prison Dragon Slope a hundred kilometres south of Mu Family Fort, strange phenomena appeared. It should be some extraordinary treasure about to emerge. Those phenomena were clearly visible for thousands of kilometres, attracting Forces from several thousand kilometres throughout the region.”

After a long moment, the middle-aged guard finally calmed down somewhat and hastily explained the situation.

“These people are all gathered inside now. The… Patriarch…”

Speaking to this point, the middle-aged guard’s words paused slightly.

“What happened to Eldest Uncle?” Mu Yanfeng’s brows furrowed as he demanded in a low voice.

“The Patriarch had already agreed with them and said Mu Family Fort wouldn’t participate in this matter. However, those people wanted our Mu Family Fort’s experts to act as vanguards. But, the Patriarch got injured and remains unconscious to this day…”

Hearing the guard’s words, Mu Yanfeng’s expression immediately darkened. A tremendous pressure suddenly emanated from his body.

“Young… Young Master…” Under this pressure, the guards surrounding this place all felt their Yuan Energy somewhat stagnating.

“Junior Brother, Junior Sister, please follow my Family’s guards to a tavern and rest for now.” Mu Yanfeng turned his head, saying to the two.

At this moment, those guards finally noticed the two behind Mu Yanfeng. Upon seeing Qin Yichen and Feng Qianxue, their pupils suddenly contracted. Although these two appeared quite young, for some reason, those guards also sensed an extremely strong pressure from them.

“No need, Senior Brother Mu. I’ll accompany you to take a look.” Qin Yichen chuckled lightly, shook his head, and said firmly.

Hearing this, Mu Yanfeng’s brows furrowed. He knew Qin Yichen was someone who valued loyalty and righteousness. Clearly, asking him to leave at this moment was something the latter would absolutely refuse to do.

“Very well…”

After pondering briefly, Mu Yanfeng nodded. His figure took the lead towards that castle-like residence.

Mu Yanfeng knew that although Qin Yichen was only at Late Stage Martial Emperor, when he was still at Mid Stage Martial Emperor Realm, he had already slain Ling Tuyai, who had killed no fewer Martial Ancestors. Now his strength had definitely increased further. Presumably, self-preservation would not be a problem.

Moreover, with their status, presumably no blind fools would dare attack them.

Wherever the three passed, the guards blocking the way tightly all made way for a passage allowing them through. Excited gazes all fell tightly upon Mu Yanfeng.

Regarding the two Qin Yichen and Feng Qianxue, whom Mu Yanfeng addressed as Junior Brother and Junior Sister, the numerous guards were also filled with curiosity.

In just a moment, the three entered through the imposing main gate under numerous excited gazes.

“Who are you people? Do you truly think the Mu Family is easy to bully!?” Just as the three stepped into the Mu Family, a somewhat angry feminine rebuke rang out from within the residence.

Qin Yichen’s footsteps paused involuntarily. Glancing sideways, he saw a refined young girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old, glaring angrily at them from within the residence.

A trace of awkwardness flashed across Mu Yanfeng’s face. He nodded at the two, his grim expression easing somewhat as he walked towards the girl, chuckling lightly, “You’re Mu Yanqian, right? Haven’t seen you in over ten years. Third Uncle’s Daughter has already grown up.”

Seeing this stranger with an unfamiliar face actually call out her name upon opening his mouth, the young girl’s expression froze slightly. Her eyes held puzzlement as she looked at Mu Yanfeng. Under this gaze, she seemed to feel this face’s outline somewhat familiar, yet for a moment couldn’t recall where she’d seen it.

“You called my Father, Third Uncle? Could you be…” After frowning in thought for a brief moment, Mu Yanqian’s delicate body trembled violently, as if remembering something. Her small face staring at Mu Yanfeng instantly flushed red, her beautiful eyes filling with unexpected joy and excitement.

“Brother Yanfeng, is it really you? You’ve finally returned!” Mu Yanqian’s voice murmured somewhat incredulously.

Mu Yanfeng nodded slightly. “*Wuu wuu…* Brother Yanfeng, something terrible has happened to the Family. Those detestable people have come to our Family every day. Last time they even injured Eldest Uncle…”

Mu Yanqian’s eyes reddened, crystalline tears glistening within as she spoke tearfully.

“It’s alright now. I’ve returned.”

Mu Yanfeng took a deep breath, murmuring softly.

“Hmm? Who are they?” When Mu Yanqian’s gaze fell upon Qin Yichen and Feng Qianxue behind Mu Yanfeng, a trace of amazement immediately flashed through.

That young man’s bearing, compared to Mu Yanfeng who was like a legend in her heart, was not inferior. That girl was even more like a fairy descended to Earth. Even the refined little girl could not help feeling somewhat ashamed of herself when looking at Feng Qianxue.

“These two are my Junior Brother and Junior Sister. Yanqian, take us inside to see.” Mu Yanfeng said.

“En…” Hearing this, Mu Yanqian quickly nodded, then swiftly walked towards the residence’s interior.

Enabling the Mu Family to rise rapidly in just over ten years, Mu Yanfeng’s prestige throughout the entire Mu Family Fort was extremely imposing. Therefore, in the hearts of the Mu Family’s younger generation, Mu Yanfeng was practically omnipotent!

Following behind Mu Yanqian, as they drew closer to Mu Family Fort’s interior, Mu Yanfeng’s face gradually darkened. Qin Yichen and Feng Qianxue exchanged glances, both secretly becoming alert.

Following Mu Yanqian’s lead, after passing through several small paths, an extremely imposing and spacious great hall appeared at the end of their line of sight.
