Chapter 4085: Decisive Action

In an instant, faster than words could tell, it swiftly engulfed the bodies of several Heaven's Will disciples before them.

It drilled into the binding talisman array, directly wrapping around Mu Qingya, Mu Jingfeng, and Ciwei.

In the nick of time.

Mu Qingya's hand reached for the Heavenly Ladder, her body pulled by the ladder with extreme speed, whooshing into the clouds.

At the same time, Ciwei and Mu Jingfeng also grabbed the Heavenly Ladder, fleeing along with Mu Qingya.

However, as quickly as they escaped, the black fire pursued them just as swiftly.

A spark of fire ignited along Mu Jingfeng's calf. Even as his figure vanished into the clouds, everyone could still hear his agonizing shriek.

Mo Lian subtly clenched his fist, a hint of faint annoyance flickering in his eyes. As he raised his palm, Qiao Mu reached out and pulled it down.

"Forget it, don't pursue," the little girl sighed. "A Divine-grade Talisman sends people into the air, disorienting their location, and can travel up to two thousand li."

"This is also a rare purple talisman, so it's probably more than two thousand li."

"Crown Princess, so we just let them go?" Aoye asked, frowning.

"Of course not," Qiao Mu said faintly, a cold, piercing glint flashing in her eyes.

She turned to Crown Prince Mo and said, "Prepare the troops. We'll take out their nearest stronghold in one go."

The miraculous aspect of the Heavenly Ladder Talisman was its ability to set a fixed return location.

Qiao Mu knew perfectly well that the location Mu Qingya would set had to be where she felt safest!

Without Qiao Mu needing to say more, Crown Prince Mo nodded knowingly. He turned and quietly instructed Aoye, who then eagerly led his people away.

"Ah, ahhh, ah!!" Mu Jingfeng rolled off the Heavenly Ladder Talisman, constantly slapping his left leg, letting out cries of excruciating pain.

Ciwei glanced at him indifferently, then stepped forward and kicked him, her face showing disappointment. "You useless person, you stood up for barely a moment, and now you're kneeling again! You're simply wasting my improved elixir!"

"Vice Hall Master, Vice Hall Master! Give me another bottle of elixir, Vice Hall Master!" Mu Jingfeng now felt an intense burning pain spreading from his calf.

He was so pained that he couldn't help but hug his knees, rolling back and forth on the ground, until he reached Ciwei's feet.

"Get lost!" Ciwei kicked him away irritably, then turned to look at Mu Qingya, who was vigorously tugging at her own clothes.

The three of them were now standing in front of a ruined temple on a hillside outside the city.

Many Heaven's Will disciples had already emerged from beneath the temple, hearing the commotion.

Upon seeing Ciwei, they bowed and saluted, "Vice Hall Master."

They seemed unfamiliar with Mu Qingya, the Hall Master of Soaring Heaven Hall, and eyed the woman who was vigorously shaking off her outer garments with a mixture of vigilance and curiosity.

"Hall Master Mu, what are you doing??" Ciwei looked at Mu Qingya before her, utterly bewildered.

In her heart, she actually somewhat disdained this Hall Master who lacked cultivation.

But at least on the surface, she absolutely couldn't show any expression of contempt.

After all, this person could casually produce a Divine-grade Jade Talisman; her identity was almost unquestionable.

Mu Qingya turned and lunged towards Ciwei, reaching to tear at her outer clothing. Although her expression was calm, her tone was slightly urgent. "Take off all your outer clothes! And his too, take them off!"

"Everyone, prepare to evacuate this stronghold!"

"What are you standing there for? Hurry and do it!"
