Chapter 3625: 4.1225 Peeling Back the Layers

This time, everyone once again witnessed the young girl's heart of steel.

At the same time, they all looked strangely at the pool of pus that was Concubine Aunt Shi.

Earlier in the projection, Concubine Aunt Shi admitted to being a Heavenly Fortune member, but no one heard her say she had left identifying evidence for the Crown Princess?

Could it be that the Crown Princess had another trick up her sleeve?

That the footage shown to them was only a partial segment, missing some crucial information that hadn't been exposed to the public?

Several elders stood by, their faces filled with hesitation as they looked at Qiao Mu.

At this moment, no one dared to stop Qiao Mu from leaving.

Unless they had a death wish themselves.

By the time Mu Cang arrived, Mu Jingfeng had already received a hundred lashes, and three solid bolts of thunder had struck from the sky, completely knocking Mu Jingfeng unconscious.

Everyone felt a lingering fear and couldn't help but feel some sympathy for the former family head.

As Qiao Mu still had things to do, she temporarily returned to her own residence in the Mu family, the Yulan Courtyard.

As soon as she entered, her expression completely darkened.

Mu Xingchen also said in a deep voice, "Qiao Qiao, it seems the people of Heavenly Fortune were well-prepared and acted preemptively."

"The toxins in Concubine Aunt Shi's body could actually be remotely controlled to trigger? This means..."

"It's not poison!" Qiao Mu interrupted her brother in a deep voice. "It's a talisman. It's the highest grade of illness talismans, capable of making someone instantly drop dead and decay."

A sharp glint flashed in Qiao Qiao's eyes.

"I know that there has always been a Grand Talisman Master within Heavenly Fortune."

"And this Talisman Master might not just be a Talisman Master. He's also a Poison Master."

"On Sky-empty Star, these people appeared a long time ago. The three dwarf brothers, all skilled in using poison, especially the Black Cat brother, once gave Mu Qianqian a soul-swapping talisman."

"After arriving in Shuntian Prefecture, during the entrance exam for the elite academy, Tan Fa, a disciple of the Clear Sky Gate, was a Yellow-grade Talisman Master."

"He and that Aunt Fan both belonged to the Clear Sky Gate. And both had teleportation talismans. Every single one of them wanted to make my life miserable, wanted me to suffer a fate worse than death."

"I used to suspect Mu Jingrui wanted to deal with me, but now it seems that teleportation talisman might not necessarily belong to your Mu family."

"Heavenly Fortune's foundation is extremely deep; the existence of teleportation talismans isn't surprising."

"This Grand Talisman Master and Poison Master, along with Black Cat and Tan Fa, must have a significant connection."

"During the Six Prefectures Academy Competition, it was also his disciples who poisoned and placed puppet talismans on Sha Gua and his group from Hippopotamus Academy."

"Although those small fry were dealt with by me and Lian at the time."

"But this Poison Master Grand Talisman Master has always been hidden behind the scenes; we still don't know who he is."

"He's been hiding, secretly cultivating batches of 'talisman talent' for Heavenly Fortune."

"Those Talisman Masters from the Clear Sky Gate also came from him, which means he has deep ties with the Clear Sky Gate."

"Although the Clear Sky Gate doesn't belong to Heavenly Fortune, there must be some connection between them, we just don't know what it is yet."

Mu Xingchen, when he heard about Heavenly Fortune, had also heard Mo Lian mention the general course of events. While the details might still be unclear, he could generally understand.

This Clear Sky Gate was determined to make trouble for Qiao Qiao. Now it seemed, the Clear Sky Gate indeed had a strong connection to Heavenly Fortune.
