Chapter 4309: 5.0061 Chaos Begins

The little stoic glared in the direction Si Kong Fuling had departed, her small face puffed up with anger.

Mo Lian looked down and couldn't help but chuckle, reaching out to pinch her cheek. "Putting everything else aside, that person really does understand you."

Mu Xingchen also smiled faintly. Turning back, he couldn't help but frown again. "Looking outside, the Allure Island port seems to be completely blockaded. It will probably be very difficult to leave now."

The sky over the outer city was filled with large numbers of harpies. Two ships had unleashed countless corpse puppets, along with human-headed lion-bodied beasts. Under their combined assault, Allure Island's situation was now precarious.

A female official swiftly approached and bowed to Qiao Mu and the others. "Her Majesty the Queen requests that you all take refuge in the palace first."

"Is Her Royal Highness injured?"

"No need to worry, she's just exhausted."

Officer Zhao supported Qing Xuexue, who was covered in blood, as they approached. The latter, seeing Qiao Mu, quickly asked, "Did my female attendant bring Little Grass back?"

Qiao Mu took the wriggling wooden vine from her sleeve and nodded at her expressionlessly.

Qing Xuexue breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Officer Zhao, please take them back to the palace first."

"Your Royal Highness, Her Majesty the Queen has ordered you to go with Young Master Mo and the others and return to the palace first."

"No, Mother's personal guards won't last much longer. There are too many corpse puppets outside; I have to go help her..."

Officer Zhao grabbed Qing Xuexue, who could barely stand, and said in a low voice, "Your Royal Highness should protect yourself well at this moment. Look at you, you can't even stand steadily. How can you help Her Majesty the Queen? You would only become a burden to Her Majesty if you went."

Qing Xuexue fell silent, looked down at herself, then turned her gaze to Qiao Mu and the others. "Let's go."

Turning back, the once bustling Grand Beauty Plaza was now a desolate mess of pits and deep trenches, with shattered walls everywhere. The beauty statue had toppled over and lay in ruins.

Looking into the distance, it was a scene of devastation; nowhere was undamaged.

Qing Xuexue, with complex emotions, retreated to the Queen's palace with Qiao Mu and the others, and was helped to sit on the ground.

Qiao Mu took out several bottles of spirit recovery elixirs from her storage talisman and handed them to Qing Xuexue and the others.

Qing Xuexue looked up and nodded at her. "Thank you."

"How long will this Mirror Locking Divine Array set up by the ancient bronze mirrors seal our divine sense?" Qiao Mu turned to her husband.

Compared to her, her husband had a deep understanding of arrays and should be able to discern its secrets.

Mo Lian indeed did not disappoint his wife. "Qiao Qiao, don't worry, it won't be locked for too long. And we are now outside the range of the Divine Locking Array. It should be dispelled in about half an hour."

Qiao Mu finally relaxed.

After getting used to being trapped in the top academy, Grandmaster Qiao developed a habit: she liked to carry a small bag when going on expeditions, and she also liked to stuff various storage talismans into her waist, sleeves, embroidered pouches, and so on.

The storage talismans contained all sorts of weapons, hidden weapons, talismans, and elixirs, precisely to prepare for situations where her divine sense might be locked, and her internal world and star domain could not be opened, always ready for unexpected needs.

So, one can always make some progress after being trapped too often.

"Your Royal Highness!" Several bloodied female attendants rushed over, crying out, "The Tushan family has rebelled! And several cultivation families affiliated with them have also revolted!"

"What?" Qing Xuexue opened her eyes, a trace of anger flashing in them.
