Chapter 4065: Cause and Effect

A head was sent flying, arcing into the distant sky.

The Underworld Court Guards were well-trained and struck with extreme speed. Each one controlled their divine power to attach to their spiritual weapons, never wasting effort on the opponent's limbs. They focused solely on striking the head.

What was the point of not striking a Heaven's Will disciple's head? What good would it do to just hit their limbs? They could still move even if crippled.

The Mu family disciples were somewhat dumbfounded at this moment. Many stared blankly at their own hands.

Just moments ago, they were being utterly routed by these evil cultists, with almost no power to retaliate.

After the little Crown Princess arrived with her people, the tide of the battle immediately turned.

What immense power and influence this was!

No one wanted to admit they were weak, but the facts showed it to be true.

Compared to these well-trained soldiers, their Mu family disciples were truly a scattered mess.

No wonder the little Crown Princess had completely looked down on them in the first place.

The Mu family elders, thinking of this, couldn't help but exchange glances and sigh softly.

"Reporting to Crown Princess," an Underworld Court Guard swiftly approached the little Crown Princess and saluted. "The Heaven's Will people have retreated towards the backyard."

"Pursue," Qiao Mu ordered coldly, her expression stern. "Kill them all."

"Yes!"

Qiao Mu looked back at her elder brother, whose complexion was slowly recovering. She nodded and said, "If you're alright, come with us."

Mu Xingchen naturally nodded and stepped to keep pace with the little one.

Throughout the journey, Mu Xingchen remained very silent.

If the little stoic hadn't occasionally glanced back, it would have been hard to sense any fluctuation in his aura.

"Are you sad?"

Mu Xingchen still maintained his silence, but his fists, clenched tightly at his sides, repeatedly showed how terrible his mood must be at this moment.

"Because your father brought people to smash the Mu family and kill Mu family relatives?"

Mu Xingchen suddenly looked up at her, his eyes heavy with pain and discomfort. "Qiao Qiao, he is your father too."

"Heh." Qiao Mu let out a faint, cold sneer.

After a long while, that cold voice finally echoed in Mu Xingchen's ears, "He hasn't been for a long time."

Mu Xingchen's heart was shaken. He looked at her sideways, only to see a look of utter indifference on her cold little face.

It was true indifference, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, as if Mu Jingfeng was nothing more than a stranger to her.

In fact... that was truly the case.

Mu Jingfeng had never fulfilled a day of his fatherly duties towards Qiao Qiao.

When Qiao Qiao was struggling to survive in the Lower Star Domain, what was Mu Jingfeng doing?

He was spending Long Chuyun's dowry, feasting on delicacies, keeping a beautiful concubine, and enjoying all the riches and glory.

He provided no help whatsoever to Qiao Qiao.

Even after Qiao Qiao returned to the Divine Land, if he had been willing to show even a hint of kindness to Qiao Qiao, perhaps the father and daughter wouldn't have reached this point today.

Nothing, there was nothing.

Mu Jingfeng's relationship with Qiao Qiao was probably only about coveting, prying, and exploiting.

Coveting the secrets of her talisman techniques, constantly wanting to spy on her, and using her identity as the Crown Princess to seek benefits.

He had never treated her with genuine sincerity, so why should he expect Qiao Qiao to reciprocate with a sincere heart?

Mu Xingchen sighed deeply.

No wonder Qiao Qiao disliked him so much.

After all, there is always a cause for every effect.

Everyone chased the Heaven's Will disciples and others, swiftly arriving at the backyard.
