I’m Really Not A Supreme Master!

“Hmm? Something’s not right… Why are there so many more guards outside today?”

Today, Mu Nanshan sensed something was amiss.

There were many more powerful characters!

Years of survival in the Great Wilderness had honed his vigilance, and this situation…

It was unlikely they were there to protect him…

Rather, it felt more like…

They were there to guard against him!?

“No good!”

Mu Nanshan’s complexion changed, and he instantly thought of something. His expression grew dark as he rushed outside.

“Marquis Nanshan, you should not go out today!”

A guard spoke out directly.

“Out of my way!”

Mu Nanshan bellowed, and with a palm strike, the guard was sent flying.

“Trap him!”

“Capture him, the Empress has ordered that he must not be allowed to leave today!”

The surrounding powerful characters swiftly converged upon him.

Mu Nanshan’s heart filled with shock and anger, his suspicions confirmed.

They harbored a conspiracy.

And to trap him here, there could only be one purpose…

Wanqing!

“Wood Spirit Dynasty, you bunch of beasts, I’ll fight you to the end!”

Mu Nanshan’s power at the Dao Fusion Realm burst forth in its entirety.

In his hand appeared a segment of Old Vine.

It was taken from Sacrificial Spirit before he left.

In an instant, a colossal Old Vine appeared behind him, covering the sky.

Around him, there were about a dozen practitioners at the Dao Fusion Realm and even more at the Condensed Spirit Realm, roughly four or five.

“Kill!”

“Since he wants to resist, kill him!”

They all shouted angrily.

Mu Nanshan fought with furious resentment, going all out.

The clone from the grapevine was at the Condensed Spirit Realm, piercing through the Sky Vault. Facing four Condensed Spirit Realm powerhouses, it passed through them, roaring like a horde of endless mythical beasts.

“Pfft!”

“No!”

These four Condensed Spirit Realm fighters were instantly spattered with blood!

The clone of Sacrificial Spirit was too strong.

“Summon the Law Protector Elder, summon the Law Protector Elder!”

Someone shouted loudly.

Only a Refining God Realm powerhouse could suppress such a Sacrificial Spirit.

…

Meanwhile…

“Eunuch, what exactly does His Majesty want with me?”

Mu Zhenkong’s face was filled with confusion.

Today, an order from within the palace stated that His Majesty had summoned him.

But despite having been here for quite some time, he had not yet seen the Emperor.

“Elder, please just wait.”

The eunuch was simply stalling.

At that moment…

Suddenly, the sound of battle from outside and the violent fluctuations of Spiritual Power rippled through the air.

“Is there a great battle involving powerful characters?”

Mu Zhenkong’s expression changed, and without hesitation, he left the palace.

Stepping out of the palace gates, he saw a mighty grapevine shadow outside the gates of the Imperial Palace engaging in fierce combat with two elders.

Those two elders were the protectors of the Imperial Palace, both at the Refining God Realm.

Meanwhile, Mu Nanshan was fighting a bloodied battle!

“What has happened? Stop fighting!”

Mu Zhenkong’s expression changed drastically, and he intervened. He was soon by Mu Nanshan’s side, a wave of his hand suppressing the group of attackers targeting Mu Nanshan.

“What’s going on?!”

He demanded, his old face trembling slightly.

Could it be that the court officials dared to seize treasures by force?

But Mu Nanshan looked up with eyes blazing with hatred, his mouth bleeding, and said:

“Liars!”

“Where have you taken Wanqing? Hand her over, hand her over!”

His body was covered in cuts and bruises.

He had fought his way here from outside, almost entirely on willpower alone.

Hearing this, Mu Zhenkong swiftly turned, grasped a nearby guard, and demanded:

“Tell me, what exactly happened?!”

The guard’s face was pale as he said, “We do not know, we were just following orders not to let him leave…”

Anger surged on Mu Zhenkong’s face: “Whose orders?”

“The Empress…”

Mu Zhenkong hurled the man forcefully away and with a sweep of his robe, his chaotic Spiritual Power erupted, repelling the two Refining God Realm powerhouses suppressing the clone of Sacrificial Spirit.

“Mu Zhenkong, what are you doing?”

“How dare you aid the enemy?”

The two roared in anger.

But Mu Zhenkong’s face boiled with a killing intent as he said:

“Get out of the way!”

“Or I’ll kill you too!”

His heart had sunk completely, sensing he might have made a big mistake.

The two changed their expressions, sensing Mu Zhenkong’s resolve, and dared not obstruct him any further.

Their refinement was only at the third level of the Refining God Realm, but Mu Zhenkong was a seventh-level Refining God Realm powerhouse.

“Come with me, we’re going to the Empress’s Bedchamber!”

Mu Zhenkong commanded.

Mu Nanshan and the clone of Sacrificial Spirit immediately followed.

Before long, they had arrived outside the Empress’s Bedchamber.

Surrounded inside and out by the Empress’s most trusted powerful characters.

Dao Fusion Realm, Condensed Spirit Realm… and even Refining God Realm powerhouses, with four guarding this place.

Almost half of the Wood Spirit Dynasty’s top combat strength was here.

“Mu Zhenkong, what are you trying to do?”

“The Empress has urgent matters to attend to. No one is allowed to disturb her. Leave!”

“Don’t force us to take action!”

Several powerful figures spoke coldly.

However, Mu Zhenkong was furious to the extreme and said,

“Get out of my way!”

He slammed his hand down fiercely!

A great battle immediately ensued.

“Kill!”

Mu Nanshan, along with the Sacrificial Spirit clone, rushed into the fray.

The scene became a chaotic melee.

Boom!

With a palm strike from Mu Zhenkong, two Refining God Realm experts could barely withstand it.

“Mu Zhenkong, you are a man of the Imperial Dynasty. For the sake of an outsider, you are going to such extremes. Is it worth it?”

One of the elders shouted.

“An outsider?!”

Mu Zhenkong, gnashing his teeth, responded,

“She is of the same bloodline and lineage as us, a genius of our clan. She came here trusting me, only to be persecuted by you all!”

“I will fight you to the death!”

“Kill, kill, kill, kill!”

A Green Wood Seal appeared on his body, unfolding for all to see!

“Ancestral arts!”

“Have you gone mad?”

The four Refining God Realm powerhouses all had a drastic change in expression and quickly retreated.

Because Mu Zhenkong was truly ready to fight to the death at this moment.

His vital energy was unparalleled, and with each step, he sent shockwaves outwards. The Green Wood Seal crashed down, shattering the steps in front of the Empress’s Bedchamber.

The terrifying aura even surged towards the Empress’s Bedchamber, as if it were about to lift the entire chamber into the sky!

But, just at that moment, a spiritual power just as strong came from within the chamber, resisting Mu Zhenkong’s Green Wood Seal!

The gates of the Empress’s Bedchamber opened.

The Empress walked out, with her daughter, looking graceful and composed.

At their side, Mu Zhenfeng followed with hands hanging down.

All eyes turned to gaze in their direction.

“Mu Zhenkong, you’ve got some nerve. Are you trying to initiate a rebellion?”

Shangguan Tongruo spoke with icy indifference.

Mu Zhenkong looked towards the Empress and the others, but his gaze instantly fell upon Mu Wanxiu.

His eyes trembled as he said,

“Princess Wanxiu, you…”

The Empress spoke coldly,

“Wanxiu is a genius of our Wood Spirit Dynasty, the Wood Spirit Heavenly Body!”

As her words fell, Mu Wanxiu took a step forward, and with pride and satisfaction written all over her face, she released her spiritual power instantly!

The green spiritual power.

Within the Imperial Palace, flora and fauna vibrated in response!

All present could feel an affinity with the spiritual power.

As though they were meant to submit to it.

“The Wood Spirit Heavenly Body!”

“Princess Wanxiu has awakened the Wood Spirit Heavenly Body?”

“This is fantastic, absolutely wonderful!”

Everyone at the scene was ecstatic.

But in Mu Zhenkong’s old eyes, there was a tremble.

His heart was torn, an inexplicable sorrow spreading throughout his body.

“You… you all… you stripped Mu Wanqing of her sacred blood?!”

He trembled with his interrogation!

“You are mistaken.”

The Empress responded coldly,

“Everything within the Dynasty belongs to the royal family. That wench’s blood originally belonged to my daughter, so how can you talk of deprivation?”

Mu Wanxiu said with pride,

“I have become the Wood Spirit Heavenly Body. From this day onward, I will be invincible in this world!”

“Mu Zhenkong, kneel swiftly, beg for my forgiveness, and I might spare your life!”

In the sky, Mu Zhenkong suddenly let out a bitter laugh!

He laughed loudly and painfully, his whole body trembling.

“Conspiracy, it has all been a conspiracy…”

“You sent me to the ancestral village. From the start, it was to take away the sacred blood of the Wood Spirit Heavenly Body. I regarded your sweet words as sincerity… and I harmed her!”

“I thought I was securing a blessing for the ancestral village, trying to foster a better growth environment for the Wood Spirit Heavenly Body…”

“Yet I was terribly mistaken. In death, I’d have no face to meet our ancestors!”

He cried out to the sky, overcome with grief.

“Today, I, Mu Zhenkong, sever my ties with the Dynasty, to the death, to the death!”

He erupted with all his might, charging at Mu Wanxiu!

“Return her blood!”

He roared!

“How dare you lay hands on the genius of my clan?”

“Protect the Wood Spirit Heavenly Body!”

“How dare you act so violently!”

The faces of the people of the Wood Spirit Dynasty changed dramatically, and they made their moves with all their might.

But at this moment, Mu Zhenkong had already gone mad.

He was burning his life, his strength at its peak, his killing intent like a raging tide.

“How dare you!”

At the side of the Empress, Mu Zhenfeng stepped forward and sent a palm strike towards Mu Zhenkong.

His cultivation level was on par with Mu Zhenkong’s.

But the next moment, he was blown away by Mu Zhenkong directly, spitting out blood.

Mu Zhenkong was set to annihilate Mu Wanxiu!

Mu Wanxiu’s face lost all color!

However, just at that moment, a cold voice came,

“Elder Zhenkong, enough!”

A green divine power instantly fell from the sky, shielding Mu Wanxiu.

A figure with a majestic bearing had already appeared.

The Emperor, Mu Qingsong.

At this moment, he finally showed up!
