Chapter 168: Qin Mu, you are destined to meet your doom in Jiangcheng!

The sudden appearance of Madman Meng genuinely terrified everyone present.

And the fact that Madman Meng killed Meng Qing with a single palm strike was even more shocking to the core!

Even though many refused to believe it, Meng Qing's corpse was right there before their eyes!

"How is this possible?!"

"Brother Qing definitely crippled him! When I watched him leave, his internal Qi was practically exhausted! How could he possibly be completely uninjured now?!"

Everyone stared at Madman Meng, scanning him up and down, hoping to find even a single wound on his body.

But no matter how they looked, apart from his ragged and blood-stained clothes, not the slightest trace of injury could be found.

"It's White Emperor City!" Meng Xianglong's eyes turned red, and gritting his teeth hard, he squeezed out these words through clenched teeth.

"White Emperor City's medical skill is this terrifying?!"

"Even several fatal wounds can be cured?" Someone stared wide-eyed, disbelieving.

"I heard before that the people in White Emperor City can reattach severed hands and feet and restore them completely. I originally thought it was just a rumor, but seeing this, it's actually true!"

After analyzing this, a chill ran through everyone's hearts.

One had to know that all the medicinal formulas of White Emperor City came from the young man right before them—Qin Mu!

Madman Meng stood before the members of the Meng family, his internal Qi surging, even more vigorous than before. Even a few martial arts prodigies of the younger generation in the Meng family could not compare to him now.

With a sweeping wave of Madman Meng's large hand, turbulent internal Qi rolled and swept across the entire Meng family estate, followed by dozens of consecutive palm strikes blasted through the air!

Slap, slap, slap, slap, slap!!!

Starting from the very back and striking all the way up, he left a bright red palm print on the face of every single Meng family member!

Some whose martial arts cultivation was insufficient were directly knocked to the ground by a single palm strike!

As for the final strike, Madman Meng took a fierce, deep breath, his eyes bloodshot as strands of inner force converged in his palm.

Meng Xianglong clearly sensed Madman Meng's intent. He immediately stood up, unleashing his protective inner energy. Under normal circumstances, he would have already thrown a punch to take the dog life of Madman Meng, this traitor!

However, right now, not only was Qin Mu standing there, but outside there were also Old Stubborn and a group of Chinese soldiers.

He could only grit his teeth in defense, unleashing a cold shout, trying to call off this stray dog that dared to turn against its own pack!

"How dare you! I am your head of the family!"

Meng Xianglong radiated immense prestige and held absolute authority within the Meng family; any Meng family member before him could only submit and obey.

Yet Madman Meng happened to be the exception. He had left the Meng family at a very young age and spent over a decade wandering the outside world.

How could he possibly let his aura fall short of Meng Xianglong's?

"You led the Meng family to set up an ambush against me, almost hacking me to death!"

"Now, remembering the nurturing care of my childhood, I return only one palm strike to you!"

"From this moment on, I, Meng Feng, and your Meng family have no relationship whatsoever!"

Fair enough!

Madman Meng roared in fury, inner energy as thick as mist condensing around him.

"Peak of Inner Qi? You actually stepped into the peak of Inner Qi?!!"

Meng Xianglong could instantly tell Madman Meng's cultivation realm, and terror surged in his heart!

Not only did Madman Meng survive this ordeal, but he had encountered a great fortune, breaking through in one bound from the peak of Inner Qi to the pinnacle of Inner Qi.

Was he merely half a step away from the Transformation Realm?!

Some elders in his Meng family struggled for a lifetime and might never even touch that threshold!

At that very moment, Madman Meng's internal Qi had swelled to its peak, and he thrust out a palm against the empty air!

Bang, bang, bang!!

The sound of several pockets of air being shattered echoed out!

"You have only just stepped into the peak of Inner Qi! How dare you come and challenge my authority! It is truly a regret that Qing'er did not execute you on the spot!"

Meng Xianglong's eyes hardened as he attempted to strike directly to neutralize this palm.

Yet this palm strike was overwhelmingly heavy. The moment Meng Xianglong extended his hands, he felt his bones snap! He couldn't even withstand it for a single second!

"How is this possible?!"

Slap!!

Meng Xianglong only had time to let out a furious roar before he was batted right off the master's seat by a single palm strike!

He crashed heavily onto the ground!

"If the Meng family is ever exterminated one day, it will surely be because of the leadership of an idiot like you!"

Having said that, Madman Meng spat on the ground, turned around, leaving only his peripheral vision behind.

The only remaining attachment he had in this Meng family was perhaps his own younger sister, Meng Yu.

However, with this lesson, the Meng family would likely behave much more prudently, and Meng Yu wouldn't have to suffer too much hardship in the family.

"Boss, let's go. A place like this is not worth staying in."

Madman Meng bowed respectfully before Qin Mu.

Through this severe illness, he had developed a thorough, heartfelt reverence for Qin Mu.

The medicinal pills Qin Mu had given him to take had gradually exerted their effects over time, healing his bones and meridians as if by a miracle, leaving the surrounding physicians dumbfounded.

"Alright."

Qin Mu nodded indifferently.

He hadn't wanted to get too involved in the Meng family affairs anyway, and having Madman Meng resolve it himself was naturally for the best.

When they walked outside, the moment Madman Meng laid eyes on Old Stubborn—especially his military uniform and the two dazzling emblem stars on his shoulders—he instinctively wanted to dodge.

As someone who used to operate in the shadows as an assassin, he naturally harbored a deep fear of state figures like Old Stubborn.

Upon seeing Qin Mu walk out, Old Stubborn cleared his throat.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, this stern-faced old man with an aura as vast as the sea slowly walked forward until he reached Qin Mu's side. Only then did he clasp his hands behind his back, shedding his majesty as if speaking to an equal.

"Muzi, can I have a word with you in private?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a chorus of sharp intakes of breath echoed from within the Meng family, though the soldiers accompanying Old Stubborn showed no particular emotional fluctuation.
