Chapter 2495: Shangguan Mu’er Takes Action
“I’ve toyed with countless women in the past, but none of them possess beauty as astonishing as Shangguan Mu’er. If she’s compared to them, she’s a goddess, while the women I played around with before were only mortals,” thought Dao Gongming. He was overjoyed. He had not seen Shangguan Mu’er before. Everything he knew about her was heard from others.
Even though he had heard just how beautiful the female prodigy of the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound was, they were just rumours after all. All rumours would be exaggerated.
As a result, although he was rather eager to meet Shangguan Mu’er when he came here, he did not hold particularly high hopes. His true intention was just to complete the mission that the seniors in his clan had given him. However, now that he had truly seen her, he discovered that she was even prettier than rumoured. Just a single glance made him infatuated with her.
Dao Gongming could clearly remember what his seniors had stressed before he had come here. “Gongming, you have to remember that our branch is towards the weaker side in the clan. We’re powerless a lot of the time, bound to the people of the main branch. Arranging your marriage with Shangguan Mu’er of the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound is to save our branch from our current predicament. As a result, you must complete the mission and find a way to arrange a marriage with Shangguan Mu’er when you go to the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound.”
“Although Shangguan Mu’er is very weak, she’s the only successor of the Third Ancestor after all, so her future potential is unlimited. If you can tie the knot of marriage with her, the status of our branch will rise significantly through Shangguan Mu’er’s identity as the Third Ancestor’s successor. We will receive the ancestor’s attention.”
“Shangguan Mu’er, I, Dao Gongming, will definitely obtain you. You will be mine,” Dao Gongming swore to himself. The mission from his elders was no longer important. What was important was that he now desired Shangguan Mu’er.
“Young master, please return. I am already married,” Shangguan Mu’er said coldly.
However, when Dao Gongming heard that, he felt like his heart was pierced. If she was already married, that meant she already had a man…
Dao Gongming inhaled deeply and forcefully calmed himself down. He refused to believe that Shangguan Mu’er was already married. Even if she was married, no one could stop him from obtaining a woman he wanted.
“You must be joking, miss Shangguan Mu’er. Is there anyone who is worthy of someone as outstanding as you in the world?” Dao Gongming said.
Shangguan Mu’er no longer bothered talking to Dao Gongming. She bowed towards Deng Wenxin and Gu Na before flying away from the sect without looking back at all.
Lian Qi’s expression became extremely ugly when he saw Shangguan Mu’er leave with no reluctance and only determination. He had never thought the situation would develop into something so horrible.
“Miss Mu’er, please wait!” Dao Gongming blocked Shangguan Mu’er and clasped his fist. “I am Dao Gongming. I come from the archean Dao clan. I sincerely invite miss Mu’er to our Dao clan. I hope miss Mu’er can grant us the honour.”
Having her path blocked, Shangguan Mu’er’s eyes immediately turned cold. She said icily, “Move!”
However, her eyes possessed an enchanting charm that could steal souls. When Dao Gongming saw her cold expression, there was actually a different effect, making him even more infatuated. He became reckless as a nefarious flame surged up uncontrollably.
“Miss Mu’er, if you want to leave the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound, you need my help. Otherwise, the sect probably won’t let you leave. Miss Mu’er, let me take you away from here,” said Dao Gongming. He glanced past Shangguan Mu’er, and the sense of desire within him grew stronger. He could not control himself and immediately wanted to grab her hand.
Killing intent flashed through Shangguan Mu’er’s eyes, and she immediately took a step back. She said coldly, “Young master Dao Gongming, please watch yourself.”
Dao Gongming was not angered at all when he missed. Instead, he sniggered and said, “Miss Mu’er, don’t you want to leave the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound? And seniors of the sect, if you don’t want me to make your scandal public, if you don’t want to provoke the seniors of our Dao clan, just stand there obediently. You should know the consequences if you don’t.” Dao Gongming threatened the ancestors of the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound and extended his hand again, reaching towards Shangguan Mu’er’s shoulder.
Clearly, he had used some kind of secret technique with that gesture. Afterimages actually appeared as he reached out, and even the space there seemed to be affected. As a result, his hand seemed extremely slow, but it was actually extremely fast.
Moreover, when he stretched out, a mysterious power wrapped around Shangguan Mu’er in an attempt to retrain her.
Shangguan Mu’er remained completely composed. The Zither of the Demonic Cry in her hands flew out and collided with Dao Gongming’s hand.
A heavy bang rang out from the collision, and Dao Gongming’s expression suddenly changed. When his hand struck the Zither of the Demonic Cry, he felt like he had hit an immovable mountain. Not only did he fail to knock the zither away, but his hand was even knocked away instead. His entire right arm grew numb.
“You’re too weak. You’re not my opponent,” Shangguan Mu’er said indifferently.
However, it seemed like mockery in Dao Gongming’s ears. Dao Gongming immediately felt humiliated when he thought that he had been mocked by the woman he liked. Immediately, he began to laugh out of anger. “It looks like it’s time for miss Mu’er to witness my true strength.”
With that, a powerful presence radiated from Dao Gongming. He formed a seal with both hands and began to use a technique.
Immediately, the might of the world descended as supreme power gathered around Dao Gongming. Clearly, he was using a God Tier Battle Skill.
Shangguan Mu’er held the Zither of the Demonic Cry and plucked a string gently.
Ding! A pleasant note rang out, and a miserable howl from Dao Gongming followed. His body shook violently as his eyes immediately became bloodshot. Even the God Tier Battle Skill was interrupted, forcefully stopped.
“My head hurts! My Soul, my soul has been injured! My soul has been injured…” Dao Gongming clutched his head and cried out in pain.
The note that Shangguan Mu’er had played stabbed into his head like a sword. It caused him great agony, and he felt like his head was going to explode.
