Chapter 4079: Cohesion

The little girl's fingers tightened slightly around Granny Qiu's wisp of a soul. Her gaze, like a thousand-year-old ice, held a hint of aloofness and cold indifference. "Don't worry, I won't let her die so easily."

"After all, what she owes me, she probably can't repay even over countless lifetimes."

The little girl's cold eyes fixed on Granny Qiu's soul in her hand. Each word was uttered coldly: "In this life, I want her to suffer endlessly, unable to live or die!"

By this time, the Heaven's Will disciples had been almost entirely purged.

Only the numerous Mu family disciples and the Underworld Court Guards remained on the field.

Everyone remained silent, their ears only filled with the little girl's cold, resolute voice, carrying a chilling coldness and indifference.

A dark tongue of fire suddenly rose behind them, sweeping away the corpses of the Heaven's Will disciples, and incinerating all their souls, leaving no trace.

Qiao Mu flicked out several teleportation talisman arrays, pulled Mo Lian's hand, and with the Underworld Court Guards, instantly vanished before everyone's eyes.

A Heaven-rank teleportation talisman array could transport up to five hundred people at once, covering a distance of five hundred li.

One of the Mu family disciples gritted his teeth, suddenly raised his sword, and also rushed into the teleportation talisman array.

Immediately after, two, three... a hundred, three hundred, five hundred Mu family disciples followed in batches.

Mu Xingchen's eyes subtly moved. He looked back at the Old Master, exchanged glances, and then quickly followed.

The Old Master, though disheveled and covered in blood, had an indescribable sense of exhilaration on his face.

Watching the young Mu family members rush fearlessly into the talisman array, the Old Master suddenly burst into several hearty laughs.

The First and Second Elders beside him also started laughing. Although each of them had sustained numerous injuries and were only barely holding on, utterly exhausted, their hearts had never felt so joyful.

The reason was simple.

After this battle, the entire Mu family seemed to have been twisted into a single rope.

Their cohesion reached an unprecedented level.

Both the Old Family Head and the Elders understood perfectly well.

It was the little girl who had re-united these people. It was the little Crown Princess who had rekindled the Mu family's fighting spirit and will to battle, reigniting that fearless, bloody instinct deep within their bones.

Just now, they had followed the little Crown Princess's departing figure in silence, one by one. Although they looked disheveled and were so fatigued they could barely lift their swords, the Old Master and the Elders had never felt such immense satisfaction with the younger generation of the Mu family as they did today.

Their backs were straight, their gazes unwavering, truly like the offspring of the Mu family.

The Second Elder's laughter pulled at the wound on the corner of his mouth, causing him to wince and sigh. "I finally understand why Ancestor Chaoyang insisted on having the little girl be the family head."

An ancestor truly was an ancestor. His foresight was indeed sharp and experienced.

Because he had seen it all along: this Mu family truly needed the little girl to be its leader in order to regain its former glory and prominence.

Only the Young Lady could bear such a heavy responsibility and carry the belief and hope of the entire family.

From this point on, the entire Mu family, from top to bottom, could be said to be completely convinced by the little stoic.

The little stoic, of course, was unaware of this change.

When she, her husband, and Feng Chen emerged from the teleportation talisman array with the Underworld Court Guards, she immediately turned her head, her eyes cold and desolate, looking behind her.

"They're here," the little stoic's lips curled into a cold sneer.
