Chapter 3709: 4.1309 Vanished

"The Crown Princess and Crown Prince departed for the academy early this morning!"

Mu Jingxing, from the Mu family's second branch, was quite excited upon receiving this news. The matter of the family head was simply left unresolved, wasn't it? The main person was already back at the academy; who knew when she'd return next, it could be months.

Given this, the Mu family couldn't go a single day without a family head! The old master would definitely elect someone else to temporarily take charge of all family affairs. And that person would certainly be him, Mu Jingxing! He was the one most familiar with all the family matters. The eldest, Mu Jingfeng, was in such a half-dead state; no matter how you looked at it, he was the only one in the family who could continue to contribute...

However, not long after, Old Master Mu's order came down. While the new family head, Qiao Mu, was not yet home, his third son, Mu Jingyuan, was to temporarily handle family affairs, with the Elder Council assisting as needed.

Mu Jingxing, upon hearing this news, furiously smashed his study to pieces. The entire second branch was shrouded in a oppressive atmosphere for several days.

Of course, Qiao Mu wouldn't know that Old Master Mu insisted on leaving her such a huge mess to deal with. At this moment, after several consecutive teleports using teleportation arrays, she and Mo Lian flew back to Cloud and Mist Peak on a golden dragon.

The Long Family's Disappearance

At the same time, Yu Su led a group of Purple Forest Guards, holding the Crown Prince's decree, and completely surrounded the entire Long family mansion. However, when they kicked open the Long family's main gate and entered, they found that the entire Long family estate was deserted. It was as if they had suddenly vanished mysteriously, from top to bottom, not a single servant left.

That same night, a batch of mysterious Divine Realm cultivators broke into the Longyancheng Ministry of Justice Dungeon and rescued the Long brothers, Long Min and Long Qiang.

The Crown Prince received this news when he was already inside the Royal Academy. He didn't pay too much attention to it. The Three Continents were only so big; the vanished Long family, such a large clan, would surely have to find somewhere else to settle... The Divine Continent could no longer accommodate them. Could they find refuge in Cangzhou or Mingzhou?

Return to the Academy

"Senior Sister is back! Senior Sister is back!!!" Little Firecracker Fang Xu's voice echoed throughout Cloud and Mist Peak.

A group of sisters from the Divine Water Sect, accompanied by an excited Second Martial Uncle Yang Xirong, rushed out. A large crowd surrounded Xu Shanshan and Qiao Mu.

After a period of recuperation and cultivation, Xu Shanshan's complexion had significantly improved. After using the Soul Gathering Bell to retrieve Senior Sister's soul that day, Qiao Mu, while tending to Senior Sister's health, had attempted to directly raise her to the initial stage of the Divine Realm using a secret technique. Unfortunately, she fell short by half a step. Now, Senior Sister has comprehended eight layers of Spirit Water Power but is stuck at the stage just before half-step Divine Realm. After using the secret technique for advancement, Senior Sister will no longer need to go through the process of the Five Spirits Reincarnation Tribulation in the future. In other words, as long as she meticulously cultivates in seclusion at the Divine Water Sect on Cloud and Mist Peak for about another year, she will naturally break through the threshold of the Divine Realm one day.

Qiao Mu chatted with her fellow martial sisters for a bit, leaving behind many pills that could improve cultivation realms, and then she and Mo Lian hurried to the Royal Academy. According to that unreliable Dean Yun Piaomiao, if they didn't return to the Royal Academy by today, they would be expelled... Luckily, she had many sets of teleportation arrays. Even if the array's power ran out, she could just switch to another set and continue teleporting.

In the evening, the two finally arrived in Fenglei City.
