Chapter 1453: Set Up by Mu Hongzi

Bu Fang looked expressionlessly at the jade pendant in his hand. He had an urge to crush it, but he resisted. He had cursed Mu Hongzi a thousand times in his mind. He rarely lost his composure, but this time, he could not bear it anymore…

‘This is a f*cking set-up! I was a fool to trust Mu Hongzi! No wonder that fellow smiled so obscenely before I left…’

Bu Fang suddenly felt a little sad. He sighed and raised his head, staring at Mo Pao, who was bursting with rage like a volcano with lava.

Mo Pao’s aura surged like a torrential flood as if to destroy everything, and his eyes were shot with blood as he fixed them at Bu Fang like they were sworn enemies. Before this, Bu Fang had filled him with killing intent, but now, after the jade pendant was shown, he could not wait to cut Bu Fang into a thousand pieces.

‘Why does this thing attract so much hatred?’ The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched slightly. He thought he was good at attracting hatred, but now it seemed that he was nowhere near as good as Mu Hongzi. ‘That fellow must have done something outrageous in the divine dynasty…’

The world around him was being compressed. King Pingyang, the head of the Luo Family, and the others could no longer watch. They had thought that he might have some amazing trump card, but in the end, he took out that jade pendant. Did he want to be killed quickly?

It was a horrible thing for God Kings to get angry because their terrible power was enough to destroy the world. Mo Pao’s eyes shone like torches as he pointed out a finger, which ripped the sky in an instant. Streams of turbulence kept pouring out of the void as if to crush everything. It was extremely frightening.

The finger kept approaching Bu Fang. If it struck him, he would be completely crushed into a pulp.

Suddenly, just as Mo Pao’s finger drew nearer, Bu Fang froze. The jade pendant, which was still in his hand, began to flash with a warm light. Then, it slowly floated up, turned into a bolt of lightning, and sped toward Mo Pao. In the blink of an eye, it collided with the finger.

A loud boom echoed out, and a colorful flame bloomed like fireworks in the sky, accompanied by melodious music that sounded like the legendary background music.

The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Mo Pao, hovering in the sky, flew into a rage in an instant. ‘This familiar style and trick… It’s that damn fellow!’ he roared. His voice spread across the whole capital, shocking those who heard it. People were wondering who had offended a God King.

The brilliant fireworks were accompanied by melodious music.

“Summer, summer passed quietly, leaving behind a little secret. I kept it in my heart, in my heart, and I can’t tell you. Hey…”

‘This should be background music…’ Bu Fang looked up at the sky with a straight face.

Like a bird frightened by a slingshot, Mo Pao bolted to the distance in an instant.

As the music continued to fill the air, a vague figure emerged in the sky. Clad in a long robe and holding a feather fan, the figure had long streaming hair and an exceedingly beautiful face that attracted countless people.

“It’s him!”

“So beautiful… Anyone knows from which great world this beauty is from?”

“I feel like I’m falling in love with her… She is too beautiful!”

Countless people exclaimed and took deep breaths as they looked at the figure in the sky, their eyes gleaming.

Mo Pao also stared fixedly at the figure, while Black Armor had a complicated look in his eyes. King Pingyang was stunned, and the head of the Luo Family twitched the corner of his mouth.

That familiar music, figure, and face… Could it be that… that man was about to come back?

“Love, my ass! That’s a man!” Hearing the onlookers’ gushing words, Mo Pao growled in the sky, his voice shaking the world.

Everyone all fell silent in an instant. A man? Many people were rendered speechless.

“Oh, it’s very lively.” Mu Hongzi’s clone said as the background music slowly faded. Looking at Mo Pao, who was not far away, he smiled gently.

“Little brother Bu Fang, I didn’t expect that you lasted so long before using the jade pendant. It’s much longer than I’ve imagined. Sure enough, when it comes to stirring up trouble, you’re nowhere near as good as me,” Mu Hongzi said.

Bu Fang rolled his eyes. Was that something to be proud of? In fact, he just wanted to open a restaurant in peace. Stirring up trouble was not his style.

Mo Pao was seized with uncontrollable rage, but he did not rush to attack. The man in front of him, who was more beautiful than a woman, was extremely fearsome and had once turned the whole capital upside down. ‘But didn’t they say that he has retired? Why did he come back?’

The onlookers did not know what to say either.

Bu Fang exhaled softly and sat down. He was very tired, and he needed to rest for a while. Mu Hongzi’s appearance attracted everyone’s attention, so he could take a break. However, what Mu Hongzi said next almost made him choke on his own breath.

“Well… Little brother Bu Fang is here to carry on my legacy. You know what that means, so don’t worry about me… If you killed him, put the blame on me,” Mu Hongzi said with a faint smile.

Bu Fang’s face froze. ‘This Mu Hongzi is messing things up. Why is he attracting hatred for me?’ He rose to his feet, his aura becoming unstable.

Mo Pao and the others all fixed their eyes on Bu Fang.

“Summer, summer passed quietly, leaving behind a little secret. I kept it in my heart, in my heart, and I can’t tell you. Hey…”

The background music rang out again. Suddenly, a mighty burst of Power of Law struck Mu Hongzi. He blew apart like a bubble and exploded into colorful fireworks.

This sudden turn of events shocked the onlookers, and they all jerked their heads up and stared at the sky.

Mo Pao narrowed his eyes. Even Bu Fang was stunned.

In the direction of the Divine Chef Temple, a column of mighty aura rose into the sky. It made everyone’s expression change.

“The Divine Chef Temple? Did the people inside finally decide to intervene? How dare they get involved?”

Mu Hongzi’s clone disappeared. At the same time, a figure stepped up into the sky from inside the Divine Chef Temple, clad in a long blood-red dress that flapped noisily in the wind.

“The deputy of the Divine Chef Temple?”

The people present all sucked in their breaths. They could not believe that a figure such as this had also shown up.

‘Why did Mu Hongzi’s appearance attract the attention of so many experts?’ Bu Fang was struck dumb. He had thought that that fellow might be an ordinary senior official in the divine dynasty, but it looked like that was not the case… That fellow’s identity was definitely unusual! Suddenly, he was very curious about Mu Hongzi’s identity.

The deputy of the Divine Chef Temple was a woman. However, her face could not be seen because it was covered by a silver mask. People could only sense the terrible aura emanating from her.

As soon as the woman appeared, she approached step by step. Mu Hongzi’s clone was scattered by her, and that startled everyone. Did Mu Hongzi have a problem with the Divine Chef Temple as well?

The woman’s aura was extremely vigorous. Bu Fang could sense a Heart of Cooking Path from it, which made him narrow his eyes. There was no question that she was a chef, and her cooking skill was not weak.

“I’m taking him away. Who wants to stop me?” the woman in red said lightly. Her voice was cold, devoid of emotion, and her slender finger was pointing at Bu Fang.

“No way!” Mo Pao replied coldly. He could not let this woman take Bu Fang away. “This little animal must die!”

“Did I ask for your opinion?” the woman said indifferently. The pair of eyes under the mask was as sharp as divine swords, shining blindingly. Her figure flickered in the sky, and the next moment, she sped forward and appeared in front of Mo Pao, slapping a hand toward him.

Mo Pao was fearless, however, and he raised a fist to block the slap.

Since both of them were God Kings, the power produced by the collision was dreadful. Black Armor and King Pingyang’s faces changed. Without hesitation, they both unleashed their energy to contain the blasts of the impact, stopping them from spreading further.

To everyone’s surprise, Mo Pao spurted a mouthful of blood and flew backward from the collision, falling hard to the ground.

“How dare a newly promoted God King offend me?” the woman said disdainfully.

Mo Pao’s face was pale, while the power of over one hundred Laws churned over his head.

“You…”

He was a little shocked. He had always thought that the Divine Chef Temple was just a power that enjoyed undeserved fame, and he had never imagined that it would have an expert of this level.

“This little chef is related to that man. I have to take him away…” the woman said. There was a touch of bitterness in the tone of her voice.

Bu Fang’s flesh crept. What he heard in her voice was definitely not kindness.

“No way! He must die!” Mo Pao growled. His Power of Law surged, and his terrible aura towered into the sky. At this moment, he was going to unleash his full power.

However, the woman only raised her jade-like palm and slapped it down. With that, Mo Pao was thrown to the ground again.

Both King Pingyang and Black Armor took a deep breath. They could sense the woman’s terror.

“I heard that the deputy of the Divine Chef Temple is the Divine Emperor’s younger sister… which means she is our princess?” King Pingyang leaned over and whispered to Black Armor. He was very curious. Since Black Armor served in the imperial palace, he should know better.

Black Armor glanced at King Pingyang as if he was looking at someone digging his own grave. “I don’t know anything,” he said.

That gave King Pingyang pause. The next moment, a fiery-red palm sped across the air and approached him. His hair stood on end when he sensed the Power of Law contained in it. Hastily, he jumped to the side and dodged the slap.

‘This woman’s temper is too… bad. She’s like an old hag abandoned by her husband!’

Mo Pao was coughing blood. He was no match for this woman—the pressure she gave him was supreme. A deep sense of frustration emerged, and he was boiling with rage.

The woman descended gracefully and landed beside Bu Fang. She looked at him, her calm gaze meeting his eyes. The next moment, she raised her flawless hand, attracting countless eyeballs, and rested her palm on his shoulder.

Then, she stepped up the air, brought Bu Fang with her, and sped toward the Divine Chef Temple, disappearing in a flash.

Mo Pao watched as Bu Fang was brought into the Divine Chef Temple by that woman. He wanted to fight back, but he could not.

“Dammit! I want to complain to the Divine Emperor! I want to make a complaint against the Divine Chef Temple!” He was furious. As his cold voice rose into the sky, he flicked his sleeve and flew away, leaving the onlookers behind to look at each other.

Black Armor looked sympathetically at Bu Fang as the woman took him away. He opened his mouth, but he did not know what to say.
