3434 Intimidation

Seeing everyone speechless, Lord Qiaoqiao tilted her head and said, "Alright, things here are finished. We..."

"Crown Princess, Crown Prince, the newly appointed Pangu Clan Chief requests an audience."

Crown Prince Mo nodded faintly, signaling the guards to let the person through.

The new Pangu Clan Chief was a rather young man. Upon seeing the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, he bowed respectfully. "Li Zhuang greets the Crown Prince and Crown Princess."

Mo Lian glanced at him coolly. "What are your plans for the future?"

"We, the Pangu people, are a tribe that loves peace most of all," Li Zhuang vowed solemnly, placing a hand across his chest. "Starting tomorrow, I will lead my tribesmen deeper into the desert to search for the existence of an oasis."

"Such a vast, boundless expanse of Aurora Desert can't all be sand, can it?" Li Zhuang said.

Qiao Mu glanced at him, then suddenly spoke, "Then you can try looking in the southeast direction."

Her Holy Wood Source allowed her to clearly sense the presence of an oasis, a very large one, several thousand miles to the southeast. If the Pangu people established their dwelling there, they would be able to survive well in the future, and they wouldn't have to cede land or depend on His Majesty of Shenzhou.

Of course, with this hidden danger of the Pangu Clan gone, the Shenzhou Emperor wouldn't have to be suspicious all the time, fearing that the Pangu Clan, so close to Qingyue City, might one day rebel for survival. This way, both sides would benefit.

Li Zhuang's eyes lit up, clearly trusting the young Crown Princess before him. This was also because, at the moment the earth vortex attacked, the Crown Princess's benevolent act had completely won over this young chief with her magnanimity. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Crown Princess, for the reminder! The Pangu Clan will forever remember your assistance."

"Oh, right. Princess Jing, she..." Li Zhuang looked at Qiao Mu and Mo Lian, hesitating to speak. To be honest, although Clan Leader Jing's family wasn't very reliable, Princess Jing, who had always protected the Pangu people and had remarkable military achievements, was truly revered by all the tribesmen. But after the earth vortex attacked, they hadn't seen the princess again and didn't know what had become of her.

Qiao Mu frowned slightly; she remembered now. During her battle with Jing Linyao, it seemed Jing Linyao had, by chance, advanced to the Divine Realm. She just didn't know if the advancement went smoothly, because afterward, the raging earth vortex appeared, and Qiao Mu hadn't focused her attention on her at all... If it happened during a critical moment of advancement, she would probably be affected. As for Jing Linyao... she might have met a grim fate.

"If Jing Linyao returns, will your words as chief still count?" Mo Lian looked at the young chief before him with cold eyes, his gaze clearly intimidating; even a fool could see it. He wouldn't tolerate them being easily incited or fooled by Jing Linyao and then turning around to plot against his Qiaoqiao. If these people continued to be troublesome, Crown Prince Mo would absolutely not show them any mercy.

"The Pangu people can swear to the Heavenly Dao that they will never betray the Crown Princess!" Li Zhuang hastily explained, placing a hand across his chest.

"Very good." Mo Lian's gaze swept over him chillingly. "Remember what you said today."
