Chapter 3461: 4.1061 Coincidence?

After this series of events, they were all terrified, long past any thought of resistance.

Now, seeing Little Taisui approach, one of them immediately fell to the ground with a thud, crying out tearfully, "Immortal Venerable, please spare my life, please spare my life!"

Before the realm suppression, Luo Rengui was considered the highest cultivated among them.

Now that Luo Rengui had been dealt with so easily, how could the remaining people not be afraid?

At this moment, they were filled with regret. If they had known this, they should never have followed Luo Rengui to the lower star domain to show off their power!

Now they were truly in bad luck. Flaunting their power only cost them their lives, a deal that was clearly not worth it.

However, the situation was set. At this point, no matter how much they kowtowed and begged for mercy, even if they begged themselves to death, no one would pay them any heed.

Little Taisui glanced indifferently at these people, then backhanded the person, striking the crown of his head.

Meanwhile, Qiao Mu and Mo Lian swiftly returned to the palace, hurrying towards the Empress Dowager's Longevity Palace.

Along the way, Qiao Mu noticed the palace was also a scene of devastation, and she couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Did someone cause trouble in the palace?"

"Yes, when I arrived, a man named Wu brought three others and captured a large number of concubines, threatening father." Mo Lian thought of his old father's overly frightened state, and the anger in his heart involuntarily spilled out.

This adoptive father of his, even if he was thousands of times foolish and ten thousand times flawed, his genuine affection for Mo Lian was real, without any self-interest or discount.

Moreover, although this old man sometimes lost his head over women, which angered Mo Lian, he at least listened to the ministers' advice. For all these years, Mo Country had enjoyed good weather and its people were safe and sound.

If another obstinate person were to lead Mo Country, they might not do as well as his father...

He hadn't expected these people to be so audacious as to come to the lower star domain and harm his family.

Qiao Mu's face also turned grim, her eyes, cold and desolate, emitting a faint chill. "This group of people came for me. They were sent by Shi Yongqian."

Of course, she also had many questions in her heart.

Why would Shi Yongqian go to such great lengths to come to the lower star domain and harm her family? And they were truly cunning, shifting all the blame to the Pangu Clan.

Pangu Clan Chief Jing Tou had likely begun investigating her since she killed his daughter, Jing Minyao.

But what about Shi Yongqian? She and Qiao Mu had had many conflicts, but none had been fatal. How could she so coincidentally decide to target Qiao Mu's family?

Could it all truly be a coincidence?

As the two turned through the ornate hanging flower gates and walked through the winding corridors, Qiao Mu paused slightly, her gaze deeply fixed on one side of the garden.

Four men were tied by the pond, and whips lashed them repeatedly.

Qiao Mu retracted her gaze. "Them?"

Mo Lian nodded, then summoned someone and quietly gave a few instructions, then dismissed them.

"This beautiful garden has been turned into a bloody mess. Have them dragged out of the palace and beaten."

His decree was: seven days and nights of whipping, followed by dismemberment.

Lady Qiao Qiao blinked, suddenly feeling that she was still too soft-hearted! Those people who caused trouble at her home earlier should have been handed over to her husband for punishment!

Now they must have all turned to ashes, which hardly appeased her anger.
