Chapter 4373: 5.0125 Breaking the Seal
Unlike Long Chuyun's patient temperament, the young girl was meticulous about grievances; anyone who provoked her would inevitably face immediate retribution.
It seemed impossible for her to suppress her anger and endure silently.
Long Qian took a deep breath and looked down at Bai Ningshuang, who was kneeling at Qiao Mu's feet, disheveled and frantic.
"The punishment has been dealt. Can you hand this person over to me now?"
Mo Lian scoffed, "Is it that simple?"
The long sword in the Purple Forest Guard's hand pressed down firmly on Bai Ningshuang's shoulder, forcing her to bend over completely.
Long Qian said coldly, "Bai Ningshuang sent someone to attack first; she acted impulsively and incorrectly."
"However, you two have already punished her. She lost both her eyes. Let's consider this matter closed."
"Heh." Mo Lian's eyes, cold as ice, fixed on Long Qian. "What do you think you are? What tone, what attitude are you using to speak to this Crown Prince?"
"How this matter concludes, and whether it ends here, is not for you to decide. It's for me to decide."
Long Qian felt a lump in her throat, a sudden sensation of being stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Long Hui quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Wangchuan invited the Crown Prince and Crown Princess this time to jointly form the Heaven's Fate Battle Group. At this moment, we should unite against external threats, not fight among ourselves."
Qiao Mu kicked the pathetic Bai Ningshuang to Long Qian's feet, then turned and said coldly, "I'm tired."
"Li Sha Island is ready; everyone can proceed anytime," Long Hui sighed with a slight sense of relief.
Bai Ningshuang fumbled and trembled as she stood up, then suddenly lunged forward in an attack, grabbing the green-branched wooden staff from the old woman's hand.
Long Qian's eyes turned cold. Just as she was about to snap in anger, she saw Bai Ningshuang, like a madwoman, gripping her staff and turning, slapping the fist-sized black pearl at its tip.
Long Qian's gaze shifted slightly, and she couldn't help but roar, "Bai Ningshuang, you—"
A streak of swiftly moving inky light instantly erupted from the staff. In an instant, a brilliant glow enveloped everyone present.
Everyone collectively looked bewildered, gazing up at the inky radiance that covered this domain.
The merfolk and the Purple Forest Guards, the Phoenix clan members, along with Qiao Mu, Mo Lian, Mu Xingchen, and others, were all covered by this dim, night-like glow, looking around in confusion.
There was no change; they had expected the dark light to attack them indiscriminately.
However, in reality, no one felt any discomfort in their bodies. The domain felt like a natural space, merely isolating this area.
"What's going on?" Feng Changfei looked around blankly. "What's it trying to do, covering us? Is it going to fight?"
Feng Changqing raised a hand to stop the restless Phoenix clan brothers, looking perplexedly towards Mo Lian's group.
Mo Lian was holding Qiao Mu's small hand, vigilantly scanning their surroundings, when he suddenly felt the little girl's small hand tighten slightly in his palm.
He looked down to see his Qiao's face slightly pale, large beads of sweat rolling down her temples, her slender body swaying somewhat, as if she couldn't stand steadily.
"Qiaoqiao."
Everyone noticed her unusual state and rushed to surround her.
Qiao Mu only felt her Divine Void Realm churning abnormally, unable to suppress the turmoil. Her body swayed twice, and she was embraced by Mo Lian, then she opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
