Chapter 4372: 5.0124 Kill All Who Block My Way

Qiao Mu stood with a stoic face, her eyes cold and distant, remaining silent for a long while.

"What's your relationship with the Long family?"

"You trespassed into the Long family's sacred ground; why didn't they kill you?" Mo Lian suddenly asked.

Ding Yun, hearing this, casually glanced at the man, then snorted. "Guess."

Long Hui's previous explanation was that the Imperial Advisor had trespassed into the Long family's sacred ground and had been detained.

This should have been true.

But now, Ding Yun was freely walking out of the dungeon.

So, there must be something they didn't know.

Long Hui, hearing their questions, looked at Ding Yun with a complex expression, sighed, and turned to Mo Lian. "Your Royal Highness, you may not know, but this Young Master Ding, he actually..."

"What are you doing, grabbing me? Let go! Let go! How audacious, daring to be so presumptuous in my Forgotten River clan territory!!" A sharp female voice suddenly interrupted Long Hui, making him frown inexplicably.

The piercing quality of the voice was almost enough to shatter eardrums; it was extremely uncomfortable to listen to.

The Purple Forest Guards escorted a fiercely struggling, screeching woman forward.

Bai Ningshuang's hairpins were disheveled, her makeup faded, and her large red dress was crumpled and wrinkled. She looked utterly disheveled.

"Behave," one of the Purple Forest Guards said impatiently, striking her hard on the back of her shoulder, immediately eliciting a cat-like shriek from Bai Ningshuang.

"Annoying," Qiao Mu said, frowning with displeasure.

Crown Prince Mo cast a cold glance, and the Purple Forest Guard powerfully punched Bai Ningshuang in the back.

Madam Bai let out a surprised "Ah-ya," lost her balance, and "thudded" to the ground, too much in pain to speak for a moment.

Just as Bai Ningshuang tried to struggle to her feet, someone stepped on her back, pinning her down.

So, she angrily raised her head slightly, her gaze cold and resentful as she stared at Mo Lian and the others, enunciating each word furiously, "You dare!"

Mo Lian's gaze shifted, coldly observing without speaking.

The Purple Forest Guards understood their master's temperament exceptionally well; even the slightest glance could be immediately comprehended.

Without another word, the long sword in the Purple Forest Guard's hand slashed towards Bai Ningshuang's neck.

"Clang!"

A curved saber spirit artifact, spinning through the air, suddenly collided with the Purple Forest Guard's long sword, instantly deflecting his descending strike.

Qiao Mu turned to look.

Long Qian approached with a cold expression, leading a group of several hundred Mermen.

Qiao Mu instinctively raised her hand and touched the small white snake coiled around her wrist.

Her clear, unblinking eyes stared coldly at Long Qian, devoid of any warmth.

"Everyone, listen to my command," the little stoic ordered with an icy expression.

"Yes, sir!"

"Kill all who block my way!"

"Yes, sir!!"

Long Qian's eyes narrowed slightly.

Qiao Mu raised her delicate hand, summoning her Thunder Sword. The rotating barbs gently slid through the air.

A fierce glint suddenly flashed past Bai Ningshuang's eyes.

After a scream of agony, Bai Ningshuang tremblingly reached up, covering her bloodied eyes, letting out terrified, panicked shrieks.

"You!" A faint trace of disbelief flashed across Long Qian's stern old face.

She couldn't help but repeatedly scrutinize the little girl before her, icy and snow-like, gracefully dressed in plain white.

Indeed, she could see a faint shadow of her daughter, Long Chuyun, from back then, in her.

However...

It was merely a faint trace.

The little girl was not Long Chuyun; she did not possess Long Chuyun's good nature.
