3394 You Can't Escape

Qiao Mu took out the thin letter, unfolded it in front of the man, and gently shook it. "Tell me, why did they ask me to go to Rouge Pavilion?"

The letter contained a single line of small text: "If you want your sister's life to be safe, meet at Rouge Pavilion tonight at戌时 (7-9 PM)."

"My clansmen want to make a deal with you. Your life for her life," the simple-looking man answered mechanically, his eyes somewhat vacant.

Crown Prince Mo's eyes instantly surged with anger, but he suppressed it, merely staring coldly at the oblivious man.

"A life for a life? Whose idea was this?"

The man shook his head. "I don't know, I was just responsible for delivering the message."

But he never expected that after delivering the message, he would use a teleportation array to leave the banquet hall, only to have incredibly bad luck.

He teleported three times consecutively, yet couldn't manage to teleport out of Dragon Flame City, constantly circling within the city...

He himself could hardly believe how unlucky he was today.

His teleportation array could only perform three consecutive teleports. After three attempts, he snuck to the vicinity of the North City Gate, planning to slip out of the city first. He never imagined that the little Crown Princess and Crown Prince would arrive so quickly, catching him completely off guard.

Qiao Mu said coldly, "Hand over your teleportation talismans."

Qiao Mu's gaze swept over the simple-looking man. With a slap, the man's expression showed a slight struggle, then he produced twenty-four yellow teleportation talismans.

Qiao Mu snatched them away, and the Azure Spirit Purifying Fire that sprang from her palm instantly burned the set of talismans to ashes.

The vine wrapped around her fingers retracted to her wrist.

Qiao Mu stared at the simple-looking man in front of her with chilling eyes and said sternly, "Are you very surprised why the teleportation array kept you circling within Dragon Flame City?"

She flicked a finger, immediately releasing the Truth Charm from his body.

However, having been bound by the Truth Charm for a while, even with the束缚 removed, the man's mind was still muddled and not quite clear.

But when his eyes met Qiao Mu's, which resembled ice-cold pearls, he involuntarily shivered, and his mind instantly cleared considerably.

"From the very first day I entered Dragon Flame City, I set up containment arrays in several places inside and outside the city."

"You can't escape," Qiao Mu said coldly.

This person's teleportation array was too low-grade; it simply couldn't break through the containment arrays Qiao Mu had laid.

Therefore, Qiao Mu knew clearly that as long as the city gates were closed, it would be like catching a turtle in a jar; this person had nowhere to run.

The simple-looking man finally regained his senses at this moment and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy. "Crown Princess, spare my life! Crown Princess, I was only, only following orders. Crown Princess, spare my life, Crown Princess..."

"Swoosh!" A lightning-fast green vine swiftly whipped across the man's face, making him cry out in pain. He reeled backward, tumbling to the ground, wailing and screaming.

Qiao Mu's sharp gaze locked onto the man, her stoic face filled with chilling coldness. "If a single hair on my sister's head is harmed! I will make your entire Pangu Clan, from top to bottom, die out completely, never to be reborn!"

The simple-looking man writhed on the ground, his pupils constricting continuously. He felt a chilling sensation spreading throughout his body, and a terrifying, bone-deep fear arose from within him.

He understood very well that the little Crown Princess seemed not to be joking.

The Pangu Clan, this time, was likely to face a great catastrophe...
