Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 4 Muzili Appears

As the foremost great family of Pingyun City, the Mu Family chose to establish their residence within the Pingyun Mountain outside the city.

The disciples of the Mu Family grow and practice their cultivation there, of course, with a portion of them managing the family's businesses within Pingyun City.

Muzi Cliff is not too far from the Law Enforcement Hall, which is why Mu Xing and Mu Chen managed to find reinforcements so quickly.

The journey was short, and with everyone being Cultivators blessed with exceptional speed, they made it to the entrance of the Law Enforcement Hall within the span of a quarter of an hour.

The Law Enforcement Hall of the Mu Family serves as a place specifically for punishing those disciples who violate the family rules.

Under the morning sun, the three characters for 'Law Enforcement Hall' shone brilliantly in the sunlight.

However, at this moment, in Mu Can's heart, no matter how brightly they shone, this could not change the reality of the decay and corruption within.

The Law Enforcement Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall had already been waiting for Mu Can at the entrance. Upon seeing Mu Can being brought over, he turned and entered the Law Enforcement Hall.

Mu Can looked up at the plaque of the Law Enforcement Hall, then expressionlessly lowered his head and walked in.

"Mu Can, do you know how to punish someone who maliciously injures a fellow clan member?" The Law Enforcement Elder was already seated at the main seat waiting for Mu Can.

"What if a clan member maliciously provokes me and I injure them, what punishment should the provocateur face?" Mu Can faced the Law Enforcement Elder with a raised eyebrow, undaunted as he retorted.

"Nonsense, you clearly made the first move, and yet you dare to quibble here," the Law Enforcement Elder, seeing Mu Can's defiant attitude, had his mustache jump up and down mischievously before he slammed the table and spoke.

As a Law Enforcement Elder of the Mu Family, he had dealt with countless juniors and up till now, had not found any who dared to challenge his authority.

Had Mu Can still been the same person from three years ago, perhaps the Law Enforcement Elder would have shown him a little more leniency. After all, he was once known as the first among the younger generation of the Mu Family and heralded as the hope for the family's resurgence.

But now, the Mu Can standing before him had become a useless Mu Can, and even Mu Can's father had been missing for three months now, likely dead in Jue Ming Valley.

Both father and son Mu Can, one disabled and the other missing, had already lost their former status within the Mu Family.

These two, a father and son, are indeed pitiable.

The Law Enforcement Elder thought for a moment about the promise Mu Zi Li had made to him yesterday, and that slight bit of compassion in his heart also vanished.

This Mu Can, he must not be spared, for this concerned the future of his own grandson and the grand plans of Mu Zi Li. Mu Can, they must die.

"Give him thirty clan whips first," concluded the Law Enforcement Elder immediately.

The clan whips used by the Mu Family to enforce family law, were made from thousand-year-old Spirit-Draining Wood, completely black. They were specially designed to target the protective Spiritual Energy of Cultivators.

"Five whips tear the flesh, and with ten whips, blood and flesh become indistinguishable."

Aside from being used on those who betray the family, it seemed that the Mu Family's whips had long become nothing more than a decoration.

Clearly, these thirty whips were meant to take Mu Can's life.

The Law Enforcement Elder truly harbored such ruthlessness.

"Let's see who dares?" Qingyi, who had come along to the Law Enforcement Hall, shouted like a cat that had its fur puffed up in anger.

Qingyi had heard of the notorious Mu Family clan whips; thirty clan whips, with Mu Can's current strength, he definitely couldn't withstand them.

To dare to execute punishment on her brother Mu Can right before her eyes, to dare to injure Mu Can in front of her, to Qingyi, that was an utterly delusional fantasy.

"The Law Enforcement Hall is a place of order, how can it tolerate the noise from outsiders? Miss Qingyi, aren't you going a bit too far?" The Law Enforcement Elder frowned and said as he looked at Qingyi.

Regarding this honored guest of the Mu Family, the Law Enforcement Elder had some reservations, but no matter what, Mu Can must die today.

Moreover, he must die resisting the Law Enforcement Hall after being exposed for maliciously attacking a clan member.

Hearing the Law Enforcement Elder's question, Qingyi burst into a scornful laugh.

"Old thief Pang, I'd like to see how many of you have the guts to strike at my brother Mu Can today?"

Although Qingyi was laughing, everyone present could feel that her anger was on the verge of breaking free.

Old thief—'old but not dead is to be a thief.' For someone as cunning and shrewd as the Law Enforcement Elder, it was not excessive for Qingyi to address him as such.

"You, you girl, so utterly ignorant of what's good for you, then don't blame this old man for being impolite," the Law Enforcement Elder, enraged to the point his face turned red and it seemed as if his wrinkles were almost ironed out by his anger, said.

Mu Family's Law Enforcement Elder, since when did you allow a junior to insult you like this?

"What do you mean 'you'? Xiao Hong, get in here and show him some color."

Xiao Hong had been circling above the Law Enforcement Hall ever since it arrived.

At this moment, upon hearing Qingyi's summon, it immediately dive-bombed down.

A massive creature burst through the entrance of the hall, smashing a big hole in the doors of the Law Enforcement Hall.

With a single call from Qingyi, Xiao Hong made an entrance.

As if to show off deliberately, Xiao Hong strutted around the hall with pride for a few laps.

Lifting a wing, it pointed at the Law Enforcement Elder sitting in the hall, as if Xiao Hong could speak.

It surely would have said this phrase.

"Keep showing off, I'll beat the crap out of you."

The Law Enforcers standing below and people like Mu Chen actually wanted to remind the Law Enforcement Elder.

Qingyi had brought a terrifying Demon Beast.

But the Law Enforcement Elder had decided to punish Mu Can without giving them a chance to speak from the beginning.

The Law Enforcement Elder was also startled by the sudden appearance of the giant bird and then realized that a Red Moonlight Mirror Bird was in front of his eyes.

"Xiao Hong, beat him up for me," Qingyi said, hands on her hips pointing at the Law Enforcement Elder.

Xiao Hong let out an excited screech, flapping its wings vehemently, and a flurry of Wind Blades wrapped in lightning flew towards the Law Enforcement Elder.

It was the Red Moonlight Mirror Bird's special move, Wind Thunder Blade.

Once, a war between two countries was halted because of a mature Red Moonlight Mirror Bird.

That mature Red Moonlight Mirror Bird, with wings that blot out the sun, flew high over a battlefield and scattered a shower of Wind Thunder Blades.

Wherever the Wind Thunder Blades passed, the Wind Blades shattered the weapons of tens of thousands, and everyone was struck down by lightning, including the experts.

Although a Demon Beast's growth is slow, once matured, their strength far exceeds that of experts of the same level.

The Law Enforcement Elder felt the hairs on his body stand on end in an instant.

Forgetting all about his image, he rolled on the spot and got to the side.

The Law Enforcement Elder should thank his reflexes, as this move allowed him to dodge Xiao Hong's first attack.

Without even thinking, the Law Enforcement Elder took off running out of the hall.

In a single encounter, the Mu Family's Law Enforcement Elder, ranked within the top ten in power, fled without fighting.

He had no courage to battle. Such was the terror of Xiao Hong's strength.

"Who is this demon, daring to run wild in my Mu Family? Do you really think my Mu Family has no capable people?"

A voice, as loud as a bell, came from afar.

The wind in the air seemed to halt because of these words.

A powerful character had appeared.

"Dad." Mu Xing and Mu Chen only truly relaxed upon hearing this voice.

The second elder of the Mu Family, Mu Zi Li.

"Second Uncle, you finally deigned to step in," Mu Can grinned with a smile.

Hearing this voice, he knew he had guessed right.

But at the cost of his correct guess, he and Qingyi would face the current second most powerful in the Mu Family, Mu Zi Li.
