Chapter 4311: 5.0063 Retreat

Qiaomu expressionlessly reached out to support Qingxuexue, who was collapsing towards her, and looked up at Her Majesty the Queen. "Let's go together. I can try my best..."

Qingye shook her head, interrupting Qiaomu. "Good child, you take Xuexue and her three hundred personal guards with you."

"The rest, leave to Aunt Ye."

Mu Xingchen frowned, disapprovingly saying, "Your Majesty, if you stay, it's just a meaningless sacrifice. It's better to listen to Qiaoqiao and take as many people as possible; let everyone leave together!"

Qingye smiled kindly at them and shook her head again. "If everyone leaves together, who will stay to stop the Heavenly Fate people?"

"Aunt Ye promises you that I will do my best to preserve myself and more people."

"Even if this Qingcheng Island is completely destroyed, I will never let it remain as the Heavenly Fate's base of operations."

"By my command, take them with you! Immediately!" Qingye flicked her sleeve, quickly turned, and refused to look at Qiaomu and the others again.

"Come back," Qiaomu angrily shouted, supporting Qingxuexue.

Mo Lian reached out and grabbed her small hand. "Qiaoqiao, let her go. There are still so many subjects on this island; as Queen, she cannot abandon these people and leave by herself."

Long Xiangyun said with a cold face, "That's right. Queen Qingye is a renowned Female War God throughout our Wangchuan Sea Domain, both inside and out. She will be fine. We should immediately take Qingxuexue and leave this place now."

Long Hui looked at Qiaomu with a complicated expression.

To say this cousin was cold-hearted and heartless seemed wrong, given her current actions.

But to say she was a simple and sweet little cousin? That was definitely not the case, at least in front of him and his sister Long Xiangyun, this little girl was like a demon.

"There are at least thirty thousand people on Qingcheng Island; we can't take them all at once."

"How do you know it's impossible?" Qiaomu snapped back at Long Hui.

"Yes, even if cousin can use a storage talisman to take them with her, but now... outside it's chaotic with war. Those islanders are hiding everywhere. Are you going to go find them one by one?" Long Hui asked with a serious expression.

Qiaomu knew that was impossible; she was just incredibly annoyed and couldn't stop herself from retorting.

"Alright, stop talking," Mu Xingchen impatiently cut off Long Hui, then turned to Qiaomu and said, "Qiaoqiao, Young Master Long is not entirely wrong. How about we follow Lord He and leave this place first? We need to get away from this Mirror Locking God Formation, and then we can return once our divine sense recovers."

Qiaomu nodded, looking at He Luan, who stood by.

"Please, everyone." He Luan immediately understood, leading the group without a word towards a secret passage within the palace.

This secret passage was built beneath the Queen's bedchamber, connecting to a water vein. It wasn't far; once out of the passage, they saw a white sandy beach with shallow seawater already lapping at their feet.

A large cargo ship was docked not far from the shore. It had two layers of cargo holds at both ends and a flat deck in the middle.

On one side of the ship's rail, there were also four or five spirit stone cannons, apparently prepared for them by the Queen.

"Go!" He Luan turned and nodded to Qiaomu and the others, leaping onto the bow of the ship.

Qiaomu, Mo Lian, and their group, along with a hundred Phoenix Clan brothers and Qingxuexue's three hundred personal guards, all followed and boarded the ship.

In the sky not far away, angry roars from harpy-like people could be heard.
