Chapter 15777 Shocking God Crossbow

"The Divine Crossbow!"

Upon seeing the crossbow, Mu Yang's expression changed. Although he did not have any status in the Mu family, he had some knowledge because he had been born and raised there. So he recognized the crossbow at a glance; it was a Shocking God Crossbow.

The Divine Crossbow was a magical artifact made in ancient times by a sect called Tanglou. Tanglou was famous for making magical artifacts. All the magical artifacts they made could be used without using much spiritual energy because they contained magic arrays. In addition, the materials used to make the magical artifacts were very particular, so the magical artifacts they made were extremely powerful. Tanglou was a famous sect in ancient times, and even now, few people can imitate the various magical artifacts they made.

This Tanglou later disappeared. The reason for their disappearance was that Tanglou had created the Divine Shock Crossbow. The Divine Shock Crossbow was extremely powerful; it could even threaten experts at the Kingdom level. Because of this, when Tanglou created the Divine Shock Crossbow, the experts of the various sects couldn't sit still. Think about it: they had painstakingly cultivated their entire lives, finally reaching the Kingdom level and becoming the top beings in this realm. Even those of the same level would find it extremely difficult to kill them; they were practically invincible. Under these circumstances, you suddenly tell them that there is a crossbow that can threaten them, even take their lives. In this situation, wouldn't you want to destroy this crossbow, or even kill everyone who could make it?

The answer is definitely yes. They wanted to destroy this crossbow and kill everyone who knew how to make it. So they attacked Tanglou. The kingdom-level experts from various sects joined forces and wiped out Tanglou. All the magical artifacts made in Tanglou were destroyed. It is said that all the Jingshen Crossbows were destroyed, and the blueprints were also destroyed. From then on, the Jingshen Crossbow became a legend. However, the pictures of the Jingshen Crossbow have been passed down, and many cultivators have seen them.

It was precisely for this reason that Mu Yang recognized the Shocking God Crossbow at a glance. He looked at the Shocking God Crossbow with great surprise. The Shocking God Crossbow looked very ancient. This was really surprising. Could it be that this was the Shocking God Crossbow made by Tang Lou back then?
Upon hearing Mu Yang's words, the elder smiled slightly and said, "That's right, you recognized it? This is the Divine Shock Crossbow, and it's the very Divine Shock Crossbow that Tang Lou made back then. Everyone thought that all the Divine Shock Crossbows were destroyed back then, but no one knew that some of them were actually hidden away. We obtained one by chance. We've all tested it, and its power is indeed extremely formidable, even threatening a Kingdom-level expert. Of course, because of the passage of time, its power has diminished somewhat. Now, it's impossible for this Divine Shock Crossbow to kill a Kingdom-level expert, but it can kill a Royal City-level expert. Shen Weifeng is currently only at the Royal Palace level, so killing him with the Divine Shock Crossbow is more than enough. Moreover, the Divine Shock Crossbow has a long range, so you can shoot Shen Weifeng from a great distance. After I kill Shen Weifeng, they might not even know where you are, and you can retreat calmly. So, do you accept this mission?"

Mu Yang glanced at the Divine Crossbow, then at the elder, and finally gritted his teeth, saying in a deep voice, "Accept." He was very clear that he had already seen the Divine Crossbow, and now he had to accept the mission even if he didn't want to. If he didn't accept the mission, the family would take him into custody. The family would not allow anyone else to know about the Divine Crossbow, so taking him into custody was the best way to prevent the news from spreading.

If he really refused, not only would he be locked up, but his wife and children would also be locked up, and Mu Zhong would lose the opportunity to be given special training by the family, so he finally agreed.

Upon hearing this, the elder laughed heartily and said, "Good, very good. You rest at home and wait for my news. We must keep track of Shen Weifeng's movements before we take action."

Mu Yang responded, but his expression was somewhat solemn. He then looked at the elder and said, "Elder, everything I have done is for the sake of the family. I hope the family can treat Zhong'er well. If that happens, I will die without regrets."

Upon hearing Mu Yang's words, the elder was taken aback. His expression then changed slightly. He gave Mu Yang a deep look before saying, "Don't worry, the family will not mistreat Mu Zhong." Mu Yang nodded and said nothing more.

Looking at Mu Yang's expression, the elder knew that Mu Yang already knew about their plan. They did indeed want Mu Yang to kill Shen Weifeng, but Mu Yang wouldn't survive until he did. The Mu family would then pin the blame entirely on him. Of course, this was assuming he was discovered. If he wasn't discovered, he might still be killed because he knew about the Mu family and the Shocking Crossbow. The family might silence him, as the Mu family would never allow this information to be known by others.

Therefore, Mu Yang had almost no chance of surviving this mission. He would either fail and be killed by Shen Weifeng, or be silenced by his family. Mu Yang had obviously thought of these things, which is why he spoke to the elder in this way, wanting a promise from the elder, a promise to Mu Zhong.

Hearing the elder's agreement, he breathed a sigh of relief. He stood up, bowed to the elder, who returned the bow, and said, "I'll take Jing Shen Nu with me first. I'll only hand it over to you when the operation begins. You should rest now; I'll let you know when the operation is scheduled." With that, the elder left the room. Not long after the elder left, Mu Yang's wife and Mu Zhong entered the room. Mu Yang's wife looked at him with concern and asked, "Master, what kind of mission did you accept? Is it dangerous?"

Mu Zhong also looked at Mu Yang, who smiled slightly. Then he suddenly started coughing violently. His wife immediately stepped forward and gently patted his back. After a while, Mu Yang finally stopped. He took a deep breath and then said to his wife, "It's alright. It's not a dangerous mission, but this mission needs to be kept secret, so don't ask too many questions. I'm going to take a gamble this time. If I don't take a gamble, Zhong'er will never get the family's support. We can't hold Zhong'er back."

After hearing his words, his wife stopped talking. Mu Yang was right. If he didn't take on this mission, Mu Zhong would never be able to receive the family's training, which would really delay Mu Zhong's future. This was the only opportunity they could seize.

Upon hearing Mu Yang's words, Mu Zhong knelt down with a thud and said in a sorrowful voice, "Father, I don't want to be raised by the family. I just want you to live."

"Nonsense!" Mu Yang shouted angrily upon hearing Mu Zhong's words, but then he coughed violently until his face turned red before stopping. He took a few deep breaths to suppress the cough, then looked at Mu Zhong and said, "Zhong'er, you have good talent. You could have been even stronger, but we held you back. You should have noticed over the years that all the good things in the family are concentrated in the hands of the main family and the stronger branch families. We get nothing. Otherwise, you wouldn't be at your current strength. Do you want your future children to be like this? If you don't want your future children to be like this, you must seize every opportunity. Only in this way will your future children not become like you today."

At this point, Mu Yang paused, then glanced at his wife and child before continuing, "I know my body. It's deteriorating day by day. I'm afraid I don't have many years left to live. Rather than dying silently and without achieving anything, why shouldn't I use these last few years of my life to give you a chance? Besides, I might not even die, so why shouldn't I take a chance? Zhong'er, I hope you remember this: if you have children in the future, and one day you encounter a situation like mine, I hope you will make the same choice as me. Only in this way can our family slowly develop."

Mu Zhong knelt there, his eyes already wet with tears. Now, after hearing Mu Yang's words, he choked out, "Yes, Father, I will definitely do the same."

Mu Yang nodded, then said, "Alright, you can go now. You don't need to worry about Father's affairs. Just be prepared and wait for the family to focus on cultivating you."

Mu Zhong responded, then wiped his face, stood up, and left the room. After Mu Zhong left, Mu Yang turned to look at his wife and said, "Ling'er, you've suffered so much following me all these years."

Ling'er was his wife's name. His wife used to be a servant in the Mu family, working as a maid. Later, she married Mu Yang. Mu Yang was tormented by illness all his life and was unable to do anything for the Mu family, so his allowance was not much, and the family lived a very poor life. After marrying him, Ling'er's life was probably even worse than when she was a maid. Over the years, he had always felt very guilty, which is why he said such a thing.

Upon hearing Mu Yang's words, Ling'er couldn't stop her tears from flowing. She was very intelligent and knew very well that Mu Yang would not usually say such things. The fact that he said these words today meant that his mission might be really dangerous and that he might not be able to come back. Ling'er and Mu Yang had a very good relationship, and how could she not cry at the thought that he might never come back?

Seeing her like this, Mu Yang couldn't help but reach out and gently wipe her eyes, saying as he did so, "Don't cry. We still have Zhong'er. Everything we've done is for Zhong'er. If I really can't come back, you have to take good care of Zhong'er and take good care of yourself too. When Zhong'er becomes successful in the future, you'll have a good life. Enjoy it for me."
