The elders stopped troubling Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue in front of the Black Totem Snake after Mu Dao convinced them to let him handle the rest of the matter.

Not only did they hold prestigious roles in the clan, they also had countless people under their command. It was not worth risking their lives for Mu Feiluan, who was almost crippled.

The Black Totem Snake might be the Hangzhou’s Guardian Beast, but it was still a ruthless animal. It could escape back to West Lake after killing them. The authorities and people of Hangzhou would certainly take its side, and the matter would remain unresolved.

The Black Totem Snake would not suffer any consequences, but the elders of the Mu Clan might die for their recklessness. Who would be willing to take a risk for something so meaningless?

Mu Fangzhou and the Great Elder eventually calmed down after Mu Dao whispered something into their ears.

After a while, Mu Dao approached Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue. He held his hands in front of him and bowed insincerely to Ningxue’s father Mu Zhuoyun to express his apology.

He then turned to Mu Ningxue, “You are indeed a rare talent, being able to control the Ice Crystal Bow. You were in the Mu Clan for some time, so you should know Mu Feiluan has been managing everything related to the disciples. Mu Feiluan is mainly responsible for everything that you have gone through. He might have a little say in the clan meeting, but he still had a long way to go before he could rule the Mu Clan. If the other members and elders weren’t restricting him, do you think you could have lived a peaceful life on Fanxue Mountain during these recent years?”

Mu Dao was telling the truth. At least he had disagreed with the clan’s decision to cripple Mu Ningxue during the World College Tournament.

Unfortunately, Mu Feiluan had the most say when something involved the Mu Clan’s disciples. Mu Dao had no reason to question Mu Feiluan’s authority regarding the matter.

However, the situation was different now. Mu Ningxue was currently holding Mu Feiluan hostage like a dying dog. She could decide his fate in an instant!

“Xuexue, brother Mu Dao is right. The rest of the elders didn’t know Mu Feiluan brought me here.” Mu Zhuoyun was more worried about starting another fight with the Mu Clan.

Going against Mu Feiluan and going against the whole Mu Clan were two very different things!

“You should put the Bow away. If it continues to overdraw your energy, you will only have several years left to live. Even if you don’t want to admit it, your surname is still Mu. We have already lost Mu Feiluan and Mu Yinfeng, two great talents, and we wouldn’t want you to die so quickly. It would be another great loss to our clan,” Mu Dao added.

Mu Dao looked at Mu Feiluan after he finished the sentence.

Mu Feiluan’s face was extremely pale. It twisted further when he saw no one was willing to help him. “Mu Dao, you f**king hypocrite!” he screamed.

“She retaliated because of what you did to her, and you lost. What else can you say?” Mu Dao mocked him back.

“Great Elder, Mu Fangzhou, are you really going to let those two act so atrociously in our territory? Is our clan so cowardly? It’s just the Black Totem Snake. Just kill it!” Mu Feiluan screamed.

He could already feel his body failing as the frost continued to spread inside him.

The Great Elder and Mu Fangzhou did not react to his words. If they did, the Black Totem Snake would most likely move too!

“You can’t cripple me, you can’t turn me into a cripple, Mu Ningxue!” Mu Feiluan shrieked.

Mu Dao ignored the shouts and walked toward Mo Fan. “Mo Fan, you should know our reputation matters more than anything. The Black Totem Snake might hold the elders back for now, since fighting that thing won’t bring them any good, especially at their age. But they won’t let the matter go so easily. If the Mu Clan starts pulling strings, there won’t be any peace left for Fanxue Mountain!”

“Just spill the beans, enough with the twists and turns,” Mo Fan replied irritably.

“Can’t you show the elderly some respect? I have been friends with Feng Li for a long time. If he’s your mentor, that makes me your senior, too. Do you understand?” Mu Dao hinted at him.

Mo Fan dug into his ear and pretended he did not hear a thing.

Mu Dao went closer and said with a softer voice, “The Mu Clan needs to protect its reputation, but what you two did is a huge slap to their face. They will definitely try to get their revenge. If you want my help to settle it, hand over Wu Ku’s remains.”

Mu Dao was currently a Councilman of the Highest Enforcement Union. He needed Wu Ku’s remains to earn back the Highest Enforcement Union’s reputation after the series of troubles the Black Vatican had caused in the country.

After all, the people would question the Highest Enforcement Union’s reliability as long as Salan was still on the run.

Wu Ku’s remains might be able to pacify those people a little. If the Highest Enforcement Union did not have any results, its formidable status would be threatened by people’s complaints!

“Deal,” Mo Fan agreed promptly.

Mu Dao’s face darkened.

This little jerk was acting like he was going to fight the whole clan until the end, but he did not hesitate to agree with the condition! Wasn’t he reluctant to yield just a moment ago?

The old guys were already shameless at times, but Mo Fan was a cut above them!

“You may cripple Mu Feiluan, but you must spare his life. This is very important, or the Great Elder and Mu Fangzhou won’t let you leave unharmed,” Mu Dao warned them.

“What did you tell them just now? Why are they willing to let us go?” Mo Fan was curious.

“You are asking too many questions. Just take your snake and go. If those old men lose their temper again, you won’t be able to leave, and they will peel off that snake’s skin, too!” Mu Dao replied stiffly.

“So be it, but I’m not going to pay for the damages. I’m broke,” Mo Fan shrugged.

Mo Fan left without any hesitation. There was no point in starting a fight with the elders of the Mu Clan, but it was important to let them know he was not someone to mess with!

“I would like to ask you for another person’s remains, too.” Mu Dao’s tone had changed.

Mo Fan frowned. He was still not sure which side Mu Dao was on.

“Blue Bat,” Mu Dao whispered to him.

Mo Fan was startled, and looked at Mu Dao in disbelief.

Only a few people knew about Blue Bat’s existence. Why would Mu Dao mention her name?

“What? Do you think a cunning old politician like me has never done any good deeds?” Mu Dao sniffed.

“She was one of yours?”

Mu Dao did not answer the question. He waved his hand, indicating Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue could leave now.

After they walked a few steps away, Mu Dao bent his knees and helped Mu Feiluan up.

Mu Feiluan’s face was blank. He never thought this day would come after he had arrogantly decided to cripple Mu Ningxue’s cultivation.

Despite his extraordinary Innate Talent and status in the Mu Clan, he was turned into a cripple in front of everyone!

How had something so bizarre happened to him?
