Chapter 3912 4.1512 Night Raid on the Mu Family

"Listen," Mo Lian reached out and poked his wife's little head, "The Great Elder is lecturing the Phoenix Clan Chief again."

"It must be related to you."

Qiao Mu adjusted her position in his arms, leaning comfortably against him, and casually raised her hand, sketching talismans in the air stroke by stroke.

One was completed, then another. Two purple defensive talismans floated around her.

Mo Lian held her, asking with a smile, "What are you trying to test?"

"I'm testing how long these talismans drawn in the air can be preserved if they're not used, and if their talismanic power remains stable."

Mo Lian raised an eyebrow, about to speak, when his finger suddenly paused. He then pulled out a communication jade talisman from his sleeve.

"Something's happening in Dragon Flame City?" Qiao Mu turned to look at her husband.

Seeing his expression suddenly turn cold, Qiao Qiao's intuition told her that something had definitely happened in Dragon Flame City.

Are Heavenly Fortune's movements that fast?

"The Mu family was attacked last night, overnight."

Qiao Mu's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Heavenly Fortune?"

Mo Lian nodded. They didn't say anything more, only urged Little Seven to speed up.

There was nothing more to say. Since Heavenly Fortune had made a move against the Mu family, the Mu family... was naturally in grave danger.

Qiao Mu wasn't sure what to feel, but what she hadn't expected was that Heavenly Fortune's first target in Dragon Flame City would be the Mu family.

Among the Six Great Clans, the Mu family wasn't the highest-ranked, nor was it the lowest.

Such a mediocre family being targeted first by Heavenly Fortune made Qiao Mu wonder if everything Heavenly Fortune was doing was somehow related to her.

Of course, although she thought this inwardly, she wouldn't say it aloud.

Suddenly, her expression shifted slightly. "What about the ancestral hall?"

Mo Lian was momentarily startled, then shook his head. "Do you want me to ask?"

Qiao Mu thought for a moment, then shook her head again. "We'll see when we get back."

If those little beasts were so blind as to disturb her mother's peaceful rest, she would make them understand that sometimes death wasn't the most terrifying thing; being alive could be far more painful.

Her aura instantly turned cold, and a murderous intent veiled her ice-like countenance.

It took about two days to fly from Phoenix Wood Forest to Dragon Flame City.

When Qiao Mu and her group entered the city, it was already high noon. Before entering, she had contacted Xiaoye, asking him to first arrange for the Phoenix clan members to rest at a mountain villa.

Previously, she didn't have many people of her own, mainly relying on the Crown Prince's Dark Night Pavilion and Shadow Guards for manpower.

Now, with over two thousand unexpected Divine Realm followers, Grand Mistress Qiao Qiao felt quite exasperated.

After settling the Phoenix clan members, Qiao Mu and Mo Lian hurried together to the Winter Moon Mountain Forest in the western suburbs.

At the base of the mountain, the guards who were usually stationed there were gone, replaced by several pools of blood on the ground.

A group of imperial guards were investigating the scene.

Seeing the two approach, the Captain of the Imperial Guards quickly rushed over, leading his men in a respectful bow. "Greetings, Crown Prince, Crown Princess."

"Fang Su, have you found anything?"

Fang Su shook his head solemnly. "Reporting to Crown Princess, Heavenly Fortune's people acted the night before last. They came swiftly and left swiftly. By the time the palace sent reinforcements, everyone had already withdrawn."

Qiao Mu nodded. Since it was a surprise attack, speed was naturally the key.

"The Mu family's people?"

"Crown Princess, please go and see for yourself," Fang Su sighed.
