Chapter 4306: 5.0058 Out of Control

From above, the chilling cries of the harpies echoed.

Mo Lian took Qiao Mu's hand and said to the others, "Let's retreat to the inner city first."

"Fire the arrows!"

"Wait!" Fan Meng hurriedly left the battling Saint Son Mi Yan, leaped onto the rooftop, and grabbed the arm of one of the black-clad masked figures.

"Deputy Hall Master Meng, are you trying to stop me again?" The masked figure spoke with a sinister, cold tone, his eyes intensely dark as he glared at Fan Meng.

"Deputy Hall Master Ghost, didn't you see Hall Master Gong is also down there? Are you trying to shoot the Hall Master dead now and take his place?"

"Nonsense!!" A venomous gleam shot from the masked figure's eyes. He shrieked, "I serve our organization diligently, daring not to be negligent in the slightest."

"My heart is solely for Heaven's Will, with not a shred of self-interest! It's you, Deputy Hall Master Meng, who has always had close ties with that stoic face. Are you reluctant to act now? Ha, immediately summon lightning and fire the arrows! Fire!!"

"Don't fire!" Fan Meng instantly became exasperated, reaching out to shove Deputy Hall Master Ghost hard.

Deputy Hall Master Ghost staggered on the rooftop, then furiously pulled out a dark, wood-carved seal from his怀里 and loudly roared, "Everyone temporarily obey my command! Summon lightning! Fire the arrows!"

Fan Meng's pupils constricted, sensing that the situation was bound to spiral out of control.

And indeed—

"Swish, swish-swish, swish!!"

Countless lightning-attracting small swords shot out, along with a dense barrage of arrows, like a plague of locusts, all aimed at Qiao Mu and her group below.

The Phoenix Clan members had already set up a defensive formation on the outer perimeter. A hundred swords swept away the densely raining arrows from above, their eyes revealing a calm fearlessness.

Qiao Mu looked up, angrily glaring at Deputy Hall Master Ghost.

The previous dense explosion of divine power beads had already killed a large number of Heaven's Will followers on the rooftop.

However, the number of people sent by Heaven's Will today was truly too great; one batch died, and another came up, countless in number.

Were they determined to capture Allure Island?

If Jiawei City was their first stop on land, then Allure Island was probably their first point of attack in the water domain.

Qiao Mu took a deep breath.

Did these Heaven's Will followers want to unify land and sea, making themselves unparalleled under heaven?

She truly wanted to know what their organization's leader was thinking.

Conquering the entire world with corpses, and then what? The whole world would be filled with rotting corpses and puppets. What fun would he have, alone with a small group?

If it was just to prove himself, then the price the world was paying was far too great.

As the crowd fired arrows, they protected the little stoic and retreated.

The inner island's gates had already opened. Her Majesty the Queen, clad in a valiant black form-fitting armor, led a group of female soldiers on horseback, rapidly advancing.

Qiao Mu and the others met them.

The Queen swiftly gestured to her troops, who quickly split to the sides, clearing a central path for them to retreat.

"Defense!" Her Majesty the Queen commanded. The front-row female soldiers swiftly crouched down, pulled out iron shields, and quickly formed a defensive shield array to block the densely incoming arrows.

Qiao Mu and the others retreated to the city gate, only to hear a soft chuckle by her ear.

"We meet again, Qiao Mu."

Qiao Mu couldn't help but frown upon hearing that voice.

She suddenly turned her head and, as expected, saw Si Kong Fuling standing there, smiling as she looked at her.

Unafraid of the little stoic's cold glare, Si Kong Fuling playfully tossed the small black bell in her hand. "How about we don't talk about friendship, and just make a simple transaction?"
